At that instant there came an alarm.
At the first stroke Of the gong the men
ran to their posts, the doors of the

men, horses and apparatus were out Of
the doors and speeding down the street
The young man watched the perform

Recreation.-There Is certain
amount of recreation that should enter
into every life. A certain time should
be given to relaxation and building up
that we may be better able to perform
our duty.-Rey. J. G. Meengs, Luther
an, Albany, N. Y.
An End to War.-Every geneneration
will put more morality and more brains
into what is called the social relation
ship and this in itself is bound to put
an end to all wars between the great
nations Of the earth.-Rev. P. S. Grant,
Episcopalian, New York City.
Punishment-Pun is eternal,
and all the scholasticism, science and
philosophy Of the present day, with its
fine phrases about there being no eter-
nal punishment, has not altered one
jot or title Of the lave of Almighty
God.-Rev. George Marsh, Congrega-
tionalist, Pittsburg.
The Final Test.-The final test of
state or city or community is not its
OuIWdAO dppcdA duCc, prosperity "a
numbers but the quality and character
Of its men and women; the virtue and
Intelligence, the ethical and spiritual
perfection of it's people.-Rev. F. l.
Phalen, Unitarian, Worcester, Mass.
Virtue.-Virtues, genuine virtues, are
not acts Of man, but forces in man.
He does not put them on, they work
out from within him. A man may tell
the truth and yet the truth may not be
In him. A virtue Is never ours until
it gets down into our instincts.-Rev.
Frank Crane, Baptist, Worcester, Mass.
The Negro.-We want the Southern
negro all at once to be a blameless
citizen, but the time of figs is not yet
We want him to be perfectly honest
and chaste, as If we had not for two
centuries instructed him in dishonesty,
stealing his wife, his children and the
labor Of his hands, and for the same
length Of time instructed him in un-
chastity.-Rev. ]. w. Tompkins, Hemp
stead, N. Y.

That the Western Addition Of George
town is being taxed as agricultural land
while 1t is apparently subdivided, IS the
statement contained in the annual report
OF W. P. Richards. surveyor OF the Dis
tFict. The status Of the streets in ques-
ton. says Mr.. Richards. has never been
well determined. they being either un-
used or fenced in. In his opinion, he
states. an examination Of the records will
show that both Prospect avenue and n
street are public to the Canal and Con-
duit roads. and on account OF the need
for the opening and use Of these streets
he recommends that their status be de-
termined at once.
The total number of orders for the year
for surveys and plats was about 1880
this being slightly less than the number
the previous year The number Of lots
surveyed was 1,54. as compared with
1,759 the preceding year.

The following large subdivisions were
recorded during the year:

In renumbering the squares provision
is made for new numbers in future sub
divisions in accordance with the perma-
nent system of highways Thus, all
squares west Of Rock Creek have been.
or will be. numbered from 1170 to $500:
those east of Rock Creek to North Can

to $500; east of North Capitol street To
the Eastern Branch the numbers run
from 300 to 5000, while all numbers above
$500 will lie south Of the Eastern Branch.
Each acreage tract has been designated
as a parcel, with a number showing its
situation.
Kept Busy Opening Streets.
The Office, it is stated, has been called
upon during the year for a great amount
of work in connection with the opening Of
alleys, minor streets. and cOndemnations
this being in connection with the street
extension work
Mr. Richards again recommends that
the amount of $500 for hire Of drivers
and extra help be increased to $4,000.

INFORMATION ON BONDS
Secretary Wallace Getting Many In
auiries on the Possible Issu-

Since the mass meeting OF citizens
was held several weeks ago concern
ing the inadequate school facilities
OF Mitchell, and the possible issuance
OF bonds not to exceed 800, 600,
Secretary Wallace informed The Re-
publican that he was constantly re-
ceiving inquiries from financial firms
IN Chicago, Toledo, Ohio, st. Paul
and Minneapolis in relation to the
bonds and that they were anxious
to bid on them. Mr.. Wallace said
that all the letters expressed a desire
to make the purchase and that he
thought Mitchell would have no
trouble whatever in selling the bonds
we're they voted at the spring
election.
Before the school board takes any
action on having the bonds voted on
it Is the intention to call another
mass meeting to secure a larger
attendance of tax payers and a
more general expression from the
citizens. This meeting has not been
called as yet, but doubtless it will
be held soon.
