was no use to have glue on the fingers.

back yonder in North Dakota, when
John Burke was governor of the state
and when Billy Sunday would make it
a point to teach righteousness to Gov.
Burkes constituents. Gov Burke
thought a lot of Billy Sunday, and so
does Treasurer Burke.
1t was quite a glad occasion. Treas
urer Burke was happy to see Billy Sun

acted SO. 1t was reciprocated Then
Treasurer Burke himself acted as
guide--something he seldom does-to
show his visitors the money sights

DEATH OF J. N. GRAHAME
AFTER FEW DAYS ILLNESS
Was Born in Baltimore in 1929 and
Had Resided in This City for
More Than Fifty Years.

John n. Grahame. eighty-eight years
old and a resident of Washington for
more than fifty years. died Monday
after an illness of but a few days.
Mr.. Grahame was born in Baltimore
January "A. 1920. He came to Wash
ington more than fifty years ago, and
during that time occupied various
clerical positions in the Office Of the
quarternaster general of the United
States Army.
In his young manhood Mr.. Grahame
aided in the surveys of several of our
extensive railroad systems, and pos
sessed marked ability in the accuracy
of his work involving intricate math-
ematical problems. Many young men
now in active, successful work owe
their early training to the rare ability
displayed by Mr.. Grahame in imparting g
knowledge to others, especially in the
field of higher mathematics.
Funeral services were held at
O'Clock yesterday at his late residence.
ATT NJ street. Rev. A. F. Anderson,
assistant pastor Of Calvary Baptist
Church, officiated. Charles E. Myers
sang two of the favorite hymns of Mr..
Grahame.

The following letter has been sent to

I am surprised to find that your anxi-
ETY., like that of the utilities commits

sympathetic that you are likely to for
get the other $4,000 residents, who,
although not stockholders, have vital
interest in the maintenance of some
sort of transportation facilities.
1.-The ten-cent vehicles were a beneff-
cence. so they were driven off the high
ways of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company

that you are willing to grant them new
privileges in all the localities where
they are not needed, and at such hours
as there is no demand for them, which
favor is much appreciated-by the
w. r. & E. Co. Your generosity is only
exceeded by that of the kaiser to
Russia.
The people would welcome the resto-
ration of the rights of the cheap We
| hicle. to take up working people in
such places they desire to start. and
| to set them down in such places as they
| must reach, at such hours as their labor
requires them to use the city'S high
ways. now monopolized by the supreme
rights of the Washington Railway and

franchise which cost it nothing and
which it has disgraced.
