COMMISSIONERS DOUGLASS RETURNS.
He Talks Interestingly Of HE Trip-Parks
That He Visited.

That He Visited.
Commissioner Douglass returned to business
this morning after vacation OF three weeks.
He looked hale and hearty and much i'm.
proved in health. He had lots to tell Of his
trip and talked Interestingly to a srAa reporter
of what he saw while away.
He said: II had q pleasant trip and feel
greatly benefited. Tho voyage to Halifax was
delightful and took from Tuesday noon until
the next Friday night about 1890. At Halifa =
there Is o large park. the property OF the
crown and called after Victoria. 1t isa wild
site like ours, and has been treated
just right. They simply underbrushed it,
made roads and walks in various directions.
with necessary bridges, and left natural beau u
t:fnl Pace for recreation. I a.so rode through
tue new park at Boston, which has been more
deliberately treated. and had necessarily to be
SO because ct a scarcity of trees. This
viii be splendid park. though. when En-
ished, sas it will have fine roads,
many large rocks aud vii! be handsomely orna-
ments. with shrubs sad flowers. There is a
public gar len IN the heart Of Boston that has
some interesting features which might be
is large lake. the depth regulated SO
IA to be completely safe, and which has a
number Of artificial islands built up with large
rocks and then earth is distributed and many
n
planted. Each island has many
trees planted SO as cover the
entire spot with their foliage, thus making
in effect willow islands with various small
growths uader the trees reaching down to the
rocky margins The effect is pretty and the
cost not much, should judge.
In the same lake was q round tower, reach
ing eight or nine feet above the water, and
planted on top with vines that hung gracefully
TO the water. 1t looked like lighthouse tower,
and with colored revolving light would have
been very attractive feature in the evening.
There is also in the lake some
boats that look like gondolas fastened
sogether with seats across that will accommo.
date five or six persons. The boat is propelled
by man who works stern wheel in the same
way that bicycle is moved by the foot. A
trip around the entire lake, which is irregular
in outline, costs five cents. and is
charming. When / asked the superin-
tendent what he called these crafts he
had no name, and l suggested, little to his
amusement, that they looked like double-bar-
relied gondolas. These things examined in
view OF the fact that the Commissioners are to
have charge of the Rock Creek Park and will
be called upon to improve and ornament it.
II saw many places dirtier than Washington,
but none cleaner, and wherever l went heard
something pleasant about our beautiful home
city,"

CZarina.
BERLIN, Sept. 14.-Today the emperor held a
review Ove- both army corps combined at
Gamstadt, village near Erfur..
Tomorrow the fourth and eleventh army
corps will operate together against supposed
enemy. The base of operations will be in a
northwesterly direction from Erfurt.
The King Of Saxony takes part in the maneu-
vers. On September 16, according to the
present plans, the imperial couple will leave
Erfurt for Berlin.
A report is being circulated in this city that
the car and czarowitz intend to visit the Ger

sit seems to me that Mr.. Crisp will be the
Speaker of the House of Representatives in the
next Congress" said Representative Catchings
OF Mississippi to a STAR reporter. ''Of course
l recognize the fact that there are
several candidates for that honorable position
and l realize that most of them have many
friends, but it looks though Crisp could not
possibly be beaten. Our state delegation
has not formally considered the matter, and
when we do there will be no attempt to force
the adoption Of a unit rule. but am sure We
shall all vote for Crisp next December"

irony. "A Barrel of Money" however, is decided improvement on the many connections of nonsensicality that are designated farcical comedy. Itis highly amusing in situation and, although it's plot is adapted only to the exigencies oi farce, it contains well defined vein of humor that justly places it in the cate gory of higher comedy. Oithe perform CTS, interest is largely centered in the talented soubrettP, Oracle Emmett, to whom was entrusted the role of Racy, a little imp. "who couldn't keep out of mischief if she would, and wouldn't il she could" Miss Emmett has bright and expressive face and a physique that fills the eye most agreeably. Her captivating way and winsome manner, together with her remarkable initiative ability, were exhibited to splendid ad- vantage in her acting and were warmly applauded. The remaining members oi the cast were quite acceptable in their respective roles, and if laughing and applauding audience can be taken as a criterion, the performance was undoubt' edly popular success.
