New ArmOry.

The Washington Light Infantry Corps at
o'clock yesterday afternoon marched out
of their old armpry on Seventh street, while
the band played Auld Lang Syne.' The
corps were in heavy marching order aud
took up the line of march to their new
armory, in the new Opera House. The
column was followed by train of wagons
bearing the equipments and property of the
corps.
On arriving at their new home the COM
mand was drawn up in line opposite the
building and the manual Of arms was ex-
ecuted in an excellent manner. The corps
then filed into their new quarters in single
file to the strains of Home, Sweet Home"
Colonel Moore advanced to the centre of
the hall and welcomed the command to
their new armory. He said the corps had
been wandering since 1916, and had at last
secured home that was worthy of them.
The keys were then presented to Captain
Dyer, chairman of the building committee.

An OFFICIAL who has a score of years of
service in the basement of the Treasury
Department remembers the time when tai
low candles afforded the sole means of
Illuminating those gloomy corridors aud
halls. With the march of time and progress
the tallow-dip gave place to the kerosene
lamp, and in time the gas metro asserted its
supremacy and reigned until yesterday,

THE Presidents acceptance of invitations
with the proviso that he will attend if
public business permits, occasions some
sarcastic remarks in society circles 1t is
said that the President can accept seven in-
vitations for the same evening with this
provision and keep none of them. 1t is al
legged that he politely accepts invitations
to be at tho New Orleans Exposition, the
Charity balls in Washington and Balti-
more, and to witness choice assortment of
other amusements IN as many places aud
then forgets them all and goes to tho the
atre.
The President has been faultless in the
discharge Of social duties of every kind.
No complaint can be made of anything that
he has done, but it Is the equanimity with
which he accepts every form of invitation
when there is no possibility of his fulfill
ing them all that occasions comment.

covered that Washington can accommodate
the rest of the civilized world during
March and A, and make everybody COM
Portable anc happy. The hotels and board
ing-houses will accommodate many, and the
warerooms and stores and public halls will
house many more, and now the Department
corridors and schoolrooms are being Sc
cured. The station-houses will be open as
usual, and the supply Is not nearly ex-

IT is natural sequel to such life as
that of Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines that there
should be contested will aud
prospect of years OF litigation
over her estates. 1t would seem,
however, that the shadow that hung over
forty years of her life might warn her de-
scendants not to enter the catacombs of
equity.
The recent assertion that Mrs. Gaines
claims and property have all been exhaust
ed in costs and counsel fees might afford an
additional reason for allowing the Gaines
litigation, memorable and historic as 1t is,
to die with the demise of the distinguished
litigant.

The first bill of a local nature to pass
both Houses of Congress and go to the
President for his signature is the bill for
the protection of children In the District of
Columbia. The measure is one of great i'm
portance and has proved useful and
beneficial in nearly all the larger
cities. OF all laws it is perhaps the most
difficult to enforce with the proper discre-
tion. The necessity for law to protect
children from the cruelty, neglect or de-
praved influence Of unnatural parents or
dsreputable guardians cannot be ques-
toned, but the law must be enforced with
the utmost delicacy, discretion and dis
elimination.

Some of the seats in our elevated railroad

"Three days"
So ran the dialogue, exultant, asssrtive,
convincing. and it set me to thinking
whether l hadn't been foolish In always
keeping out Of speculation. Then came the
information by which, it seemed, l might go
and do substantially what this man had
done. @rn let you into the point" he said
to his companion. and went on to say that he
was going to invest 500 on oil at a certain

agreed that 1t was a sure thing. In the after

@When l have found tho first idea, on rather

always necessary that the idea should be-
come i~ncnrnate in a situation around which
everything pivots-I start a file for it. This

I have TO decide the sphere of life In which i

place 1t and the personages whom / will
cause to move around it, their names, and
how they shall dress. Not one Of these nee
essary details as yet appears in the file. My
heroes and heroines have no names; they are
mere forces-A, B. C-the husband, the wife.

these three forces comes the leading situa-

dramatic thought or idea always presents

The primary idea Is not in the least altered

are independent of costumes, names, epochs,
