TO HAVE TOWN HALL.
New Building Will Soon Be Erected
in Hyattsville.

Hyattsville is to have a modern munich
pal and fire department building. The
structure will occupy the site recently
purchased from Dr. Fl. T. Willis ON John
son avenue adjoining the post office build
ng In the busy section of the town. and
will cost in the neighborhood of 5000.
Plans have been prepared and bids were
received today. Work is expected to he
started the latter part of the current
month.
The building will be of brick, and will
contain quarters for the fire department
and offices for town officials. with large
hall on the second floor. Mayor William
?. Magruder and certain members of the
council opposed the erection of the build
ing on the ground that the town had no
authority to borrow money for the pur-
lose. Former COuIicilmen w. A. Brooks
md j. Frank Rushe filed a bill to enjoin
The action of four members of the
council who voted to purchase the lot
and borrow the money for erecting the
building, and the court at Upper MARI
bOro, Associate Justice Fillmore Bear
denied the application.
Despite the fact that the case has been
appealed to the appellate court. the four
members of the council voted to pro-
coed with the work. Edward Devlin, a
member of the town council, is chairman
of the building committee, and commit
tees from the Citizens Association and
the fire department are CO operating.

purposes. but it will also be ornamental.

With such an impressive and at
tractive entrance the new road will be

But 1t will also enable people who wish

to get there more directly than is now
possible. The western end Of the road
will come into the Zoo just where the

MORE BUSINESS ROOM
ON { STREET CORNER
Improvement Projected on VAL
liable Site Recently Pur-
chased by 0ppenheimers.

An improvement is to be made at the
southwest corner of Sth and L streets
northwest, designed to meet the needs
in that locality for additional room for
business. The corner lot, which has a
frontage of % feet on Sth street and
100 feet on Z street, was purchased
several months ago by S. and Gustave
Oppenheimer. The price paid was
about $40 per square foot and as the
building on the lot was unsuited for
current purposes it may be considered
that what was paid represented the
value placed upon the ground alone.
Secure Additional Frontage.
After acquiring this property the
Messrs. Oppenheimer later on secured
the adjoining piece on Sth street,
which gave them an additional 'front.'
age Of twenty-five feet on that street,
with the same depth of lot. They have
now had the entire site cleared of
buildings, and intend to erect there a
structure having stores on the first
floor with entrances on z street,
while the upper floor will be one large
room which will be used fer light man
ufacturing purposes.
The property adjoining on Sth street
was recently purchased by Samuel f.
Carroll, and it is understood that he
paid 81 per square foot for a let having
800 square foot.

Insuring Against Evil Spirits.
lie World Magazil,

rOm tHe WIue NUriU ndghZlHe.
Once every year, during the first fifteen
days Of the seventh Chinenes month the
curious ceremony Of Yu-Nan-Whei is cele-
brated, being, in fact the paying of
homage to the land and sea devils. Seven
priests carry out the ceremony by offer
ing up various forms of prayer and
making an unearthly noise by beating
gongs. Any one wishing to show his
respect to the devils can do so by a
payment of 600 casll-about % cents-to
each of the priests, for which amount
they will continue their performance for
twelve hours-a truly modest renumera-
ton for gentlemen engaged in the ardu-
GUS occupation of propitiating evil
spirits. For an extra payment OF 1900
cash a number of small red paper boats
about six inches long. with lights inside,
will be sent floating down the river with
the current. These lights are for the
benefit of the sea devils, In order that
they may be able to see their way about
on dark nights-a little attention which
il is to be hoped these maritime demons
appreciate. Having finished this perform
ance. the person on whose behalf it has
been carried out goes away happy In the
conviction that he will not lose any of
his family throughout the year either by
sickness or by drowning, SO that the
whole ceremony may be looked upon 5
an insurance policy. At this time OF
wear many thousands of the small light
ed boats may be seen floating down the
Yangstzekiang. presenting a most I'M
usual spectacle.

On Assigning Future Wages.
From the Columbus Journal


There Is bill before the Missouri legis-
lature that invalidates the assignment of
unearned wages. 1t Is regarded as a mes
sage to discourage improvidence. It Is
found in actual experience that much
OF this pledging of future wages is done
for things that are not needed. SO that
when the real need comes the assign
ment has nothing to show for itself but
some mere vanity. There arc cases of
need and misfortune where a man must
draw on unearned wages for little
money. but most Of the actual Instances
are not Of this character. They are
mostly OF wants that would be forgotten
the next day. And how many of such
wants bob up in q persons experience
One day q man will regard certain ar
ticle rs necessary. to his health and hap
piness. which. II he didn't get. he would
forget utterly the next day.
This calls UP the socratic idea that the
secret Of true life is to limit ones ply
steal wants. and to forget, in the higher
impulses and aspirations, the vanities and
appetities that crowd about ones every,
day experience.

the young woman was given a good
home.
But his latest act was one of the
most remarkable. 1t was LOulSl-
ana girl of the Creole type and des-
cribed as beautiful. She came to
Jackson several days ago and took
rooms at a hotel here of a question
able reputation. He interviewed her
and found she was only fifteen
years old, and had run away from
her Louisiana home to come to
Jackson.
TIE girl told the young man she
left home because she was tired
of clearing up new ground" for
planting. It seems her father was
planter in Louisiana, but poor,
and the girl had to work in the
field. She had gone to school, and
can read and write fairly we'll.
Realizing the place where she was
staying was no place for the girl, he
took her out, over the protest of a
woman who claimed to be her chap
eron, and notified Mrs. C. A. Rich
ardson, of the Kings daughters.
Mrs. Richardson and other ladies
took the matter in hand and soon
found the girl a good home.
