1t is not unlikely that the fine building at the
northwest corner Of 5th and streets, owned
and occupied by the Columbia Title Insurance
Company, will be very much enlarged. No
definite action has been taken as yet, but as
the company owns the adjoining property hav-
ing frontage of twenty feet on Z street and .
depth Of ninety-fve feet it has been proposed
that an addition be built covering this ground.
At the same time it is suggested that the present
building be run up two stories higher and that
the new addition be the same height. II these
plans are carried out a large anu commodious
structure will ornament this corner.

Big Deals For '93.

There is no business which admits of
so many wonderful innovations as the
theatrical business. The present age
might appropriately be styled 1.-THE
Realistic" Men with vast capital have
entered the field and their rivalry and
spirited competition have called forth
the most astounding results. The pub
lie crave amusements as one of the most
essential necessities of life and are so
thoroughly educated as to the merits of
what is good or bad that it pays best to
cater to them by presenting only what
is certain to be stamped as 20. K"
One of the most colossal theatrical en-
terprises which will open in New York
city early in August, is the great
comedy drama, 'She Couldn't Marry
Three" for which extensive prepara-
tions have been carried on during the
summer. The scenery will eclipse any
thing presented in New York during re-
cent years, and with the magnificent
company of selected artists, is sure to
make an instantaneous and unqualified
success. After its New York opening it
will be sent across the continent to San
Francisco with the entire New York
caste and it is unanimously conceded by
newspaper and theatrical critics that
among the big deals for '93 will be
found "She Couldn't Marry Three"

ing over them caused an explosion, the
bullets flying in all directions. No one
