NEW NAME TO BE ADOPTED.
"Avenue Of the Presidents" Omcia,
Title Beyond Florida Avenue.

Sixteenth street will soon popularity be
known as Avenue of the Presidents :"
That section of the thoroughfare above
Florida avenue will be officially SO desig-
mated
This is the result of the presentation
to the Commissioners today of a petition
signed by 80 per cent Of the property
owners along the street above Florida
avenue and by many of those south of
the city boundary asking for the change
In name. The petition was presented by
a committee composed of John Joy Ed
son. Emil Berliner and Scott c. Bone.
While the Commissioners have not OIL
cialiy acted. 1t is understood that each
one individually declared he would in
dorse the proposed change of name In
view of the petition of the persons own
ing property along the street
The Commissioners have power to
change the names of streets outside of the
city limits. Therefore they can officially
designate 18th street above Florida ave-
hue as Avenue Of the Presidents"
Only by congressional enactment can
the name of 10th street within the city
limits be changed. While the name 18th
street" will officially remain for that por-
ton OF the highway south of Florida ave-
nue.. the residents along that section pro-
pose TO use the name Avenue of the
Presidents on their stationery and cards
and thus hope to bring 1t into popular
usage.

Big Game in California.

From the Los Angeles Herald.
Why go to Africa to hunt big game?
Here in California there is enough of 1t
to try the mettle OF any hunter More
over. the untrodden ways of this
state are hardly less numerous than
those Of Africa. country which in
recent years has been fairly overrun
with tourists. hunters and curiosity
seekers. Africa will soon be grid
ironed with railroads. The main lines are
being constructed. and the ''choo choo of
the locomotive" american style) mingles
with the bray of the African lion. We
know 1t Is the fashion to call 1t
roar" but all citizens of Los Angeles
who have studied the vocal exercises of
the Ions at the Chutes know the al
legged roar is nothing more nor less than
an exaggerated but very pronounced "hee
haw. For real roarers in the native
habitats we need wander no further afield
than to the wilds Of our own state The
vagrom voices of snarling monsters
curdle the blood as they SILVER the tall
timbers ON the dark tipped peaks of Cal
ifornia's Inaccessible mountain Businesses.
Once in while California rancher or
farmer pots" his lion with as little fuss
or ceremony as the street boy hits the
circulating duck In a Main street gallery.
On ranch near PetaIuma an immense
lion. ponderous ferocious and as heavily
named as any African jungle prowler, was
shot by IA farmer from whom the gigantic
brute had been ievying tribute Of calves,
sheep and other stock. Lion hunting In
Africa Is tame and trivial pastime when
compared with lion hunting in California.

Coiners Covet Bells.
from Pearson's Weekly.


The strange theft of church bell from
the chapter house of Southwark Cattle
dral the other day was paralleled some
few years ago by the mysterious disap-
pearance of the big bell of a famous
English gaol. 1t was In its, place one
evening. and the next morning IL had
vanished The affair was kept a secret
from the press. in accordance with the
traditional policy pursued by our prison
authorities. and for a long while nobody
had the slightest inkling of what had be-
come Of the missing article.
Eventually, however. it leaked out that
it had been stolen by one of the con-
victs, with the connivance of a warder.
The thief was a professional coiner, whose
period of detention was on the point or
expiring, and his reason for desiring the
ACQUISITION Of so much good metal is sui
ficiently obvious to need no explanation
In all probability the missing southwark
bell was annexed for a similar purpose,
although other ends have been had in
view in the past by stealers of SUCH ar
ticles. There was. for instance. the case
Of the antiauary who stole the famous
ST. KILN bell from its place In the tower
of KILN Church. In Perthshire.
The vulgar believed that the bell, II
surreptitiously carried away, would ex-
tricate itself from the hands of the thief
of it's own accord. and return home ring
ing all the way. And the antiquary.
when called to account. pleaded that he
took the bell i'm order to prove the falsity
of this particular popular superstition:
Then there was that Ralph the Rover.

HUGHES HELD FOR GRAND JURY
INQUEST OVER THE BODY OF
SAMUEL CARTER.
Latter Died Last Night at the Emer-
gency Hospitsi-Cut in
Row March 4.

Arthur Hughes. colored. was held for
the grand jury this morning by the
coroner's jury holding an inquest over
died last evening at the Emergency Hos
pi,al. 1t is claimed that Hughes stabbed
Carter In the side during a quarrel in the
rear of the Mills building the evening of
March 4. The coroners jury this morn
ing heard Drs. Maclay and Glazebrook
and three colored men, Ernest Holmes.
Charles Pryor and James Holmes. and
they will be detained I'm Jail witnesses
unless bond is furnished for their ap-
pearance
DR.. Macay testified that Carter seemed
to be on the high road to recovery when
he ate of food that was improper. and
which had been forbidden. This Carter
did twice.
DR.. Glazebrook. who performed the
autopsy. said that death had resulted
from peritonitis. He thought that If Car
ter had not eaten solid tccd instead OF
soft he would have recovered.
Holmes declared that the dispute was
caused by throwing snow. He said he
did not see Hughes cut Carter. This
was at variance with what he told Po-
liceman Gray. and he was held. Pryor
said that Carter frs. Knocked Hughes
down. He said James Jackson started the
trouble. He don't know who cut Carter.
Jackson said he was In barroom at the
time and did not see the cutting.
Policeman Gray intcrposed and said
Jackson had told him he saw Hughes cut
Carter Jackson was thereupon held.

PARTICIPATE N A CollOQUY
SENATORS HEPBURN AND GAL
LINGER HAVE VERBAL SET-To.
Discussion Arises in Connection With
Effort to Have New Census
Building on Mall.

In the discussion in the Senate today
of the census bin Senator Hepburn of
Idaho. author of the bill to purchase the
land lying south of Pennsylvania avenue
for the erection of public buildings in
the House provision for a building adj
joining the present census Office.
If any census building is to be erected,
Mr.. Hepburn thought. it ought to be
erected south of the avenue. He called
attention to the fact that the govern
ment already owned about one-quarter Of
this property. including the Center Mar
ket site and the site OF tho old Pennsyl-
vania railroad station.
Mr.. Hepburn then depressed to say that
the government had paid the railroad
company several million dollars to move
off the governments property. and he
thought little of that money might be
used for identifying Washington.
Mr.. Hepburn spoke rather warmly and
looked around toward Senator Gallinger,
chairman of the District of Column bia
committee. which handles the matter Of
paying the money referred to.
Quick as a flash Mr.. Gallinger was. on
his feet. The money had been appropri-
ated. he said, for the elimination of grade
CROSSINGS in connection with the erection
of the new Union station.
He upbraided the senator from Idaho
:or speaking so passionately and declared
that he was not the only one who was
qualified to pass on plans for identifying
Washington.
Mr. Hepburn retorted by saying that he
did not feel called on to excuse his man
ner of speech.
Il have never spoken passionately or
in heat" he shouted, lat any time in my
public life"
Al this sally, delivered, as it was, with
considerable vehemence, the Senate had
hearty laugh.

From the Jacksonville Times Onion.
Noting the effort Of the bird lovers OF
Massachusetts to secure Cat Island as a
refuge for birds, the Boston Post proposes
that we set apart an island in the north
as well as i'm the south for such purpose
the day should not be far distant when Q
number of spots judiciously chosen for
this continent. including Canada and our
Pacific coast, shall be guarded carefully
and honestly for the benefit Of the birds.
The men employed as guards might also
provide crops for tiem-a few lessons In
agriculture would not hurt them. and
would help to bring the birds within the
protected zone.
But a great work must precede the
establishment of these cities of refuge
within the continent. Our people have
been mistaught to hold the bird as only
an article of food-as an enemy to agri-
cul. ure and instrument of loss to the
farmer. This belief must be eradicated.
and it might be well to confine reserva-
tons to the coast until the missionary
work has gone further. II is proof that
even crows do more good than harm to
the farmer. but ii will be long before the
judgment has been accepted in the court
of last resort. More than century ago
the farmers of Virginia insisted on the
determination of the little crow, caarg-
ing him with the heinous crime of digging
up their seed corn il sprouted.
bounty drove the little crow from Vir-
ginia. and then the worms ruined the
tobacco crop so that Virginia paid heav-
fly to bring the birds back from Mary
land, and they were given q feed OF corn
in the spring in payment for their sum
mer's work in the tobacco fields-the fields
only exacted payment in advance. and
returned ten dollars for one by way Of
interes,. Drive such facts home to the
farmer-show him that ii Is waste TO eat
too many quail-a curtailment of profits
to deny a mocking bird a tase of fruit
or vegeta bles. or even to refuse a hawk
an occasional chicken and we will come
some day to the millennium which will
show a bird reservation covering the
whole continent. Meantime. begin with q
few worthless islands On he coast, whose
feed from the waters then
provide a few acres OF forest for the in
sectivorous birds. and we may soon trust
the farmers to ,olerate a few seed eaters
as their other work is seen to be clearly
l.elpful.

NEST stood still. The science of economics
is today unable 10 answer the question
or now much the cost of living has ad-
vanced IN the past ten years. because IL
mas no standard Of living IL does not
know what Ii cost 10 live ten years ago.
The blame for this must rest upon the

Quoted their business as loosely as women

found that women resent the idea that
they keep an account of expenditures and
regard the question as wholly a personal
one instead OF one OF scientific import.
scientifically applied income Of 500
often affords a family more satisfaction
than an unscientifcaily applied income OF
$1,000. Units of satisfaction are the only
reasonable measure of economic advance
ment, but the obvious difficulties I'm
tablishing such a standard have been a
drawback to the science. Women go on

six-Inch Monograms-Gray Suede
Oxfords-Fancy Scarfs.
From Fairchlds Magazine.
Some handkerchiefs have long. slim
monograms embroidered on them. which
are six inches long.
Low cut. two eyelet Oxford ties Of gray
suede are among the latest showings in
one of the smart shoeshops. 1t remains
to be seen If footgear of this kind will
ever be worn in town. but one can i'm
agine comfortable shoes of this character
peing entirely suitable for wear at the
beach or in the fashionable country re-
sorts.
Chamois gloves are having an inning,
and the majority of men walking on 5th
be seen wearing these comfortable Access
series OF a smart get-up.
Never at any time have the socks for
day dress been more elaborate They are
black, of course, and Of rich silk weaves
but even when intended for wear with
boots instead of low shoes. have striking
designs In either white stripes or while
figured patterns. Black silk ribbed socks
are popular now for wear with evening
dress.
Scarfs for spring are made of very
deliberately woven silk fabrics of open
work" design. striking lacey things that
come In all the popular colorS of the mo-
ment The material is crossed by satin
stripes of various widths. Some of these
stripes are embroidered. others are plain,
but as the fabric has sufficient body these
scarfs never look fiimsy, but tie up into
rich and swagger knots.
While flannel waistcoats of all kinds are
being shown now in the majority of the
furnishing shops. plain white. striped and
fancy patterns are being offered. mostly
single breasted.

Faddist in the schoolroom.

Thus far we have been told not to
NEEDLE with the course Of study. We. the
laymen, must keep our hands of and let
the professional educator arrange the
schedules. And as a result every fad and
fancy has been given a place, until the
printed course of study resembles the
menu card Of a metropolitan restaurant.
Modernly. every teacher has become a
psychologist, and the beautiful science of
child study has been wounded and torn
by thousands Of clumsy, awkward anna
teurs, whose addenda to this course" of
study make the schools ridiculous to earn
est, sensible men.
OF course, 1t is all dealt out in homeo-
pathic doses. There are pellets OF anat-
omy and physiology. of painting and
sculpture. of psychology and philosophy,
Of some arithmetic and some grammar
And all the pellets are sugar coat ed. for
the whole pedagogical theory seems to
command that the teacher make all these
things easy for the pupil. So we have
all kinds of patent devices for making
the chld's pathway one of velvet. There
are wonderful new text books, that have
all the lessons analysed and classified
leaving very little for exertion. There are
charts. multi-cclored. that simplify the
lessons. and pictures and cabinets that
illustrate the charts Everything is put
into the pupils hands Genuine effort
seems to be discouraged.
