THE ALTERATIONS AT ALsAUGH.s.
Omcers Of the Light Infantry Object 10 the
New Requirements.

Omcers Of the Light Infantry Object 10 the
New Requirements.
There is quite difference Of opinion be-
tween the inspector of buildings and the
owners Of Abaugh's Opera House, the WISH
ington' Light Infantry Corps, concerning the
alterations to be made in the building in
obedience to the requirements of the District
Commissioners. When the license Of the thea
ter was Withdrawn, because OF the failure
of the owners to make the required altera-
tons, the architect OF the company, Mr.
Gray, was directed to prepare plans
for improvements, which were submitted to the
building inspectors and approved by them.
balcony across the front Of the building
with stairs leading down from each side.
Work was Immediately commenced upon
this and 1t is now rapidly approaching
completion. The required improvements in
the interior Of the theater. such ~ electric
and fireproof curtain, were also provided, the
entire cost Of the changes being over S10,-
600. Then the authorities issued another
order requiring ten-foot stairway to be cut
in the lobby from the orchestra floor down
to the front.
This is the point Of difference, il being con-
tended by the owners that should this order be
obeyed the result would be not only unwise,
but also absolutely dangerous.
Said prominent officer of the CORPS: "Now
that work on this improvement is about COM
pleted, at a cost Of over $4,000, as orr con-
tracts will show, the Commissioners come for
ward with plan which will spoil all that
we have done. They require US to cut
q hole in the fre-proof floor of the
lobby, and build therein q stairway ten feet
wide down to the 'front.' Now, this stairway
could not cost more than $780, 30 ii is not the
expense we object to. But our architect and
the best experts We have consulted pronounce
the plan unwise, il not absolutely dangerous
People crowding out from the main floor will
be forced directly down this staircase. without
an opportunity TO spread out in the broad,
fireproof lobby. and choose their exits at either
side or out the front through half dozen
doors on to the new balcony and thence to the
street. 1t il estimated that these two Hobbies
and balconies will hold 2,0Oo people standing,
all who can be seated in the house. Thus, not
counting the exits on the north and south sides,
the theater can be emptied in three minutes"
The officers Of the corps say they will en-
deayor to have the order rescinded. They sug-
gest submitting the matter to q committee Of
architects.

Some days ago Mrs Kate Gannett In COM
munication to the Commissioners protested
against the sale Of the popular summer drink
known rs "cherry slace," claiming that IL con-
tained alcohol and was intoxicating. At the
suggestion of the major and superintendent Of
police the District chemist was called upon for
his opinion as to the connection and today sub
mitted the following: 'The protest Of Kate
Gannett against the sale Of popular summer
drinks containing alcohol at soda water foun-
tains Is, know, justified by the facts. There
Is no doubt that at many drug stores alcohol is
dispensed quite freely and in numerous forms
in soda have myself examined some and am
credibly informed as TO others. Champagne

many Of the so-called ''tonics' contain ia

which are brought to this laboratory. Beyond
that the question becomes one Of Law and H.

she felt something in her pocket and when she
looked around she discovered that the prisoner
was the guilty one. The little boy denied the
charge. His p. sition in court did not seem to
annoy him much and he frankly admitted that
was not his first arrest.
Judge Mills thought that the reform school
was the best place for him and sentenced him
to that institution.
