IN EARLY CAPITAL
Plans Discussed at Meeting Of
Association of Oldest
Inhabitants.

A number OF plans for keeping alive
interest in the Washington Of days
gone by were discussed last night at
meeting Of the Association of Oldest In
habitants at the old engine house at 18th
and H streets northwest. A. H. Ragan
presided in the absence Of the president.
DR.. B. W. Sunny suggested that 1t
would be a good thing to have the engine
house opened to school children on Satur-
days in order that they be enabled to
see the old hand engine. He said that
many children had never seen such an
engine and did not realize what great
Inventions had been made in the last
few years
John B. Mccarthy spoke OF the great
value Of the photographs, old Washing
ton newspapers and other historical relics
now stored in the engine house. and said
that few of the members appreciated
how really interesting the collection Is.
He spoke particularly Of the old news
papers.

port, read a letter from George E. HAM

inson expressed sympathy with the If
teen-foot rule in regard to vehicles pass
ing street cars at standstill. giving
the regulation his hearty approval.
In, the enforced absence of F. A.
Woodfield, his report on the safety
day held at Glen Echo by the asso-
citation last Wednesday was read by
the secretary. F. Clinton Hiatt The
report stated that In spite of the ter
rife storm which ragged in the city the

out. was that the children who gained
admission to the amusements at the
park with the coupons which appeared
in The Star had at least one rule of

them. as it was necessary for them
to COPY one in order to get free access

the story would make a book of sur
passing interest. Yuan Shin Kai was
only 81 years old when I first saw
him in Korea, and he is only about 80
now He started life as a poor boy,
but like many poor Chinese boys, was
given enough schooling to enable him
to pass the examinations and get into
the army. He rose so rapidly that he
was resident general of Korea before
he reached 80, and from then on he
has been in the thick of things and
making history.
During his stay in Korea he was
dictatOrial and insulting to the KOre-
ans and the foreigners The Chinese
Japanese war made him a diplomat
and he is now one of the most Conser-
vative of statesmen. He thinks twice
before he acts, and still he is not afraid
to make decisions and act promptly.

the Boxer rebellion, when the foreign

with his viceregal court to Pao Tingfu-
The country was still filled with the
turmoil of the revolution, and il was
necessary that Yuan should show the
fOreingers that he could control. He
sent orders to the rebels that they

American who told me this story:

so you may tell them that that is the
way I do business and that future re-
bellions will be handled like this"
The story of this slaughter went
over north China, and it struck terror
to the hearts of the Boxers. It also
convinced the foreigners that Yuan
meant business.
