THE LIGHT INFANTRY ARMoRY.
The work Progressing Well and
Rapidly.

Rapidly.
The imposing stone abutments, the
striking turret5 and massive walls Of the
Light Infantry Armory and Opera House
command the attention and admiration of
all who SEQ the rapidly rising structure.
The extensive proportions, the imposing de-
sign are attractive alike, and visit to the
new structure Is well repaid.
a CRITIC reporter assembled the ladders
on the outer wall, and stood at tho top
most point of the front Of the building aud
looked down three stories to the ground, or
two stories to the vast apartment that will
comprise stage and auditorium.
The immense iron girders from the New
jersey Steel and Iron Association of Tren-
ton arc being placed in position By means
of echanical devices Of great power, and a
small army of workmen are engaged In
every portion of the building pushing the
work toward completion. Among the in
teresting mechanical devices are the steam
elevators, by which large quantities of
bricks are carried to tho highest point Of
the wall and deposited near whore the
bricklayers are at work.
AS the building progresses the perfection
of designs of tho opera-housc, entrances,
halls and armory becomes more and more
noticeable, and II is manifest that the
structure Will present one OIL the most COM
modious armories and most attractive
opera-houses in the country.
The latter is being built in accordance
with the most modern and most approved
ideas Of safety, comfort acoustic properties,
stage construction, ETC., and will be q
model place Of amusement In every re-
spect.
The builders express the greatest conf
denco in having tho building complete in
every detail and ready for occupancy by
November /, and will turn it over to the
corps on that date in accordance with tho
terms Of the contract.
Mr.. Albaugh, the lessee, secures posses
sion of the opera-house OH November 10,
and is rapidly perfecting his arrangements
for grand opening and brilliant season.
He asserts that the stage appointments will
be second to those ofno place Of amusement
IN the country, and that he will furnish
Washington audiences with an opera-house
in every respect equal to the best in her
sister cities.
There still remain for sale some of tho
bonds Of the corps, and these are being dis
posed Of to prominent business men and
Others who regard them as safe and good in
vestments.

81 am in favor Of removing all the high
fences around tho public parks and reserva-
lions" said Colonel Rockwell, Commissioner
Of Public Buildings and Grounds, TO a
CRITIC reporter to-day, In response to In
quiries. "The time has passed when vag-
rant cows and pigs and goats wandered
along the Avenue dealing destruction to
shrubbery, flower beds and lawns, and the
people of this country have been educated
up TO a point where there Is no longer fear
Of reckless vandalism and destruction of
public property. Nowadays everybody
recognizes proprietary interest In park
which they enjoy, and the best way to take
care of the parks Is to
Allow Every Good Citizen an Oppor-
tunity TO Help Protect Them.
"The best cared for and neatest circles in
the city are unfenced their beauty pro-
tects them from being tramped aud de-
faced. The time for high fences and locked
gates has passed by, and l favor no greater
protection in any instance than u post

paths instead of making short cuts across
the green sward. In this late day the OBJ

an other cities the disorderly Assem-
blages and the congregating OF tramps have
in some cases prompted the authorities to
remove the benches from the parks. In
this city these evils have never assumed
large proportion, none of the parks have
been rendered Objectionable and mono have
caused much complaint. They are we'll

agreeably visited. l have before me the
petition for the removal of the high fence

strongly inclined to grant the petition, but
the appropriation for such purposes was
Cut Down by Congress
from $4,000 to $1,000, and If 1 expend
$500 of this amount on this one reserva-
ton IL may prevent other very important
improvements. For this reason l have not
arrived at decision. but will do SO as soon
as possible. Congress was quite liberal to
the parks in most respects, but cut us down
in this very important item, and we will
have to omit some things that we are very
anxious to accomplish.

AFAMous FEMALE VAC.
Mary Meriarty Gets Permission to

Mary Meriarty Gets Permission to
spend the summer on the Farm.
Mary Moriarty, Washington's Oldest and
least favorably known female VACANT, who
has spent the best years of her life in the
workbouse, was the first victim who greeted
Judge Mills, of the Police Court, this
morning. She came up smiling, but slow,
on account of rheumatic aflliction. She
didn't lose the opportunity of trying to
work the sympathy dodge on the new
judge, who is not SO we'll acquainted with
her as Judge Smell.
Sergeant Nokes pictured her as one Of
the worst women the city has ever pro-
duced.
She made piteous appeal, that would
touch the heart of stone, and if the officer
had left any doubt in the mind of the
Court as to her character, she would have
gotten of. The sentence was three months
on the farm, and seeing that she was going
to be incarcerated all the summer, she
wanted to be as comfortable as possible and
asked to be assigned to the hospital She
failed in this, and Notwithstanding all her
defeats her face beamed with smiles as she
said well, good morning to yez ALL" and
stepped back "to wait for the wagon"

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

mails.
John Tayman, driver of the Anacostia
Street-Car Company, was before the Police
Court this morning, on complaint of
Agent Key, of the Humane Society, for
cruelty to animals, in working horse that
was unfit for labor.
Agent Key stated that he found the
horse, attached to car No. 5 Of this line,
limping, and he had an injury to the foot
from which pus was issuing.
The defendant said Dexter, his horse, was
not very lame and was not suffering. Other
witnesses testified to this effect and also that
the horse had been lame for some days and
they took him out to see how lame he was.
Judge Mills in deciding the case showed
that he is friend of the dumb animal and
will hold persons charged with illtreating
animals to strict account.
Said the Judge:
"This horse was lame and had been so for
ten days. The company had right to
experiment with him to discover his con-
ditiop, but not in car on the public street
where the public are compelled to witness
the sufferings of the animal"
A fine Of S. was imposed.

FINED ALL ROUND,
Beer ana whisky Responsible for
Three Serious Affairs.

Three Serious Affairs.
John Simms, one of South Washington's
bad citizens, was the defendant in three
cases in the Police Court this morning.
The first charge he was tried on was the
larceny of two empty beer bottles from the
wagon of Samuel G. Palmer, in tho First
Ward. He pleaded guilty to this charge,
and was fined So therefor.
He was then tried, in conjunction with
James Spillman, the driver of the wagon
from which he stole the bottles, with ARRAY
The evidence in this case was to the effect
that Spillman found the two bottles con-
cealed on Simms, and broke one in getting
them from him, aud then jabbed him in
the face with the ragged edge of the broken
bottle, making an ugly wound.
His Honor said the assault with the bot
tie was brutal and uniustiaable and he
would fine Simms 81 and Spillman 500.
The remaining charge was for another
ARRAY in Freeloys saloon, at Thirteenth
and ID streets, below the Avenue, with n
white man named William Riley. They had
dispute about drinks, when Riley grabbed
his colored companion by the ears and
butted him in the nose. Simms then got o
brick and struck Riley on the forehead.
They were fined So each in this case.

At all risks 10 Strangle wrong.

And those free.trado dudes OF Boston,
Are proEngllsh, first and last.
Ev'ry vote we give, my comrades,
Tables two for gallant Blaine
For the giant'chief OF statesmen,
Bold OF heart, and clear OF brRtni
So, with Hatreds inspiration,
We shall bravely do our part;
And strike England's free-trade vaseale
In the greedspot, next her heart.
See the volunteers, IN thousands,
Taking up the grand refrain,
Who cut loose from lifelong moorings
TO attest their love for Blaine
