A little incident that shows how
the theatrical predominated in Bou-
langer's nature is related of the "brav'
Generals" conduct at the celebration
of the hundredth anniversary of the

While the great procession was pass
ing the reviewing stand, where Bou-
LANCER stood among the guests OF hon.
or, he stepped hastily down, and,
rushing up to a soldier who stood at
one of the ancient cannon, seized the
lanyard from his hand and fired ten
guns of the salute. Then he turned
about and said in French: "A son OF
France behind an American gun
may the symbol never be broken, and
may Frenchman never fire heavier
ammunition at the Republic of the
United States!" Those who under.
stood the remark set up cheer that
developed into prolonged shout
when the crowd was made TO under
stand the meaning Of the words.

Upin little Pennsylvania town

quantity has been accumulated, hi

find ready market.
So great has been his diligence In
this good work that the neighborhood

DIsUsED GAS LANTERNS.
Citizens Complain That They Are TN

Citizens Complain That They Are I'm

A number of our business men COM
| lain becaused the disused gas posts are
allowed TO remain standing. They fail to
see why these discarded and unsi ghtly
relics Of the era Of street gas should be
permitted to longer cucumber the side
walks.
Inquiry at the gas Office this morning
Developed the fact that the gas company
had no control whatever over these posts
and lanterns. They We're paid for by the
District and belonged to the District.
The only authority the company exer-
cised over them was TO keep them in re-
pair when they were in service.
Altogether, SO the reporter was advised,
there are 5,l06 gas posts standing in the
city limits. OF this number about 300
had been dismanted and electric lights
bad been substituted for them. These
disdsed lanterns are scattered along the
Avenue, II, Ninth, Seventh aud Il streets,
covering quite an area.
The gas official went further to say that
IL would be serious undertaking to re-
move the posts. They cost originally
something over " 700 apiece and in case
failto provide an appropriation Tor the
electric lights the Avenue and the other
streets named would be in darkness.
A prominent mercantile firm, w. d.
clark Il 60. of 81 Market Space, complain
Of the presence of one of these dilapidated
posts which stand Immediately III front of
their store. 1t is unsightly and somewhat
out Of plumb. They will gladly pay the
cost of its removal If permitted to get rid
Of 10.
Would ii not be good idea to dig mp
the disused posts and store them, or il
this is too expensivea job cannot the Com
missioners devise way TO cap them in
some ornamental style and keep them well

suggestions our citizens may have to adj
