an average of sixty-tive books a week are
taken out. 1t has carried on cooking and
sewing classes. religious services and en-
tertainments and various clubs
1.-THE work has no endowment. 1t Is
supported by voluntary contributions of
white and colored citizens. Its efficiency
has been constantly cramped by the
meagerness of It's quarters. and Its tr1ls-
tees have, therefore, undertaken to Sc
cure a suitable place for the work.

MmROADWAY LIGHTING.
New Scheme to Be Tried Out Alon
Massachusetts Avenue,

For experimental purposes a new sys-
tenn Of street lighting Is to be installed
along Massachusetts, avenue between 9th
and 14th streets.
The plan is to erect posts in the mid
die Of the street, which will support
large arc lights. 1t is believed that this
plan can be successfully carried out on
broad thoroughfares like Massachusetts,
avenue. and that it will light such streets
better than curb lamps.
If the plan proves successful, after a
thorough trial. it will probably be ex-
tended to other broad streets.
Seventeen lamps are to be erected on
Massachusetts avenue They are to be
protected by square sand boxes. forming
isles of safety at their bases. The wires
for supplying current to the lamps are
to be run in the trees with taps out to
each lamp. Extra precautions are to be
taken not to iniure any tree.

few days ago negro boy by the
name Of George Washington. was ar
rested in Summerville, charged with
mule stealing. The mule in Question
had been stolen the day before wash-
ington was arrested from a Mr.. Guy
ton, of Monck's Corner. A neighbor
OF Mr.. Guyton, knowing of the theft,
recognized the mule, which he saw
within short distance Of Summer
vile, and on reaching town had
washington arrested. George was irp-
mediately landed in Jail. About IL
o'clock that night the jail was dis
covered on fire and it was with d;ffi-
Guilty that Washington was rescued. 1t
seems that Washington was an OH
offender and tried the ofttimes suc-
cessful trick of burning his way out
Of a wooden Jail by setting fire to the
side and keeping the fire within safe
limits by somethering it with the blan-
kets in his cell until a hole had burn
ed OF sufficient size to permit of his
escape. Unfortunately for Washing
ton the Jail in Summerville was fur
nished with cotton comforts. instead
of the best wool blankets and result
eG in his being very nearly suffocated
before rescued. He was resusitated
shortly after being taken out, how
ever, and is now comfortably quarter
ed in the brick Jail at st. Georges
where he awaits trial at the next
