DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
A NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY.

NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY.
An application was made to the Commission
ers today by the Representatives Of a new cleo
trio company for permission to lag underground
cGnduits along the streets of the city TO
supply light and power. 1t is claimed
for the new company that the District
will save about so per cent if the new company
is given the lighting o: the city. The Corlnis-
sioners told the gentlemen TO go ahead AMI or
ganize and then bring the matter OF the streets
before the full board.
THE PRIVATE STABLES AGAIN.
1t is expected that at the next meeting Of the
board the police regulations relating to manure
pits will be repealed. The inspector of build
ings, in letter to the Commissioners
today, called attention to the fact
that the present regulation on the
subject forces manure pits into the private
stables or the yards adjacent to dwellings. and
brings about an unsanitary condition of things
that is not TO be countenanced. He urges the
adoption OF the following regulation in lieu
OF the present one on the subject:
Manure pits may be constructed below the
surface Of alleys Is feet or more in width. not
to exceed feet from the building line. con-
structed with brick wall COPIED with grants not
less than feet by feet, and covered
with close heavy wrought-iron doors
sufficient to carry heavy loaded carts or wagons,
and ventilated by iue in wall or on the inside
OF the stable up to and above the roof"
TO SETTLE CONTROVERSY.
The Commissioners today appointed a COM
mission consisting Of Architect Appleton p.
Clark IT,, and Builders D. J. Mecarty and Chas.
S. Dennam to examine houses 451. 49, i55 and
4o7 Sth street southwest to determine and
report upon the question IN controversy
between the owner and the inspector OF build
ings. who has ordered their removal on the
ground that they are dangerous to the public
and are too FAR diiapidated 10 admit Of repair

lowing: F. E. Richards. one brick dwelling,

fact, his lack Of action in political circles has
caused comment among Ohioans here who have

PARIS. November 2i.-Paris even In the

II is truly In Rsnan's own city that Re-

air OF simplicity very charming.
An idea all new Is to interlace the span
drels of the Jlning-room ceiling with vine
garlands, TO procure the effect OF bower.
Then the candelebras are wound with the
same garlands. In which appear some
flowers OF the kind used on the, table.
On the table one sort Of flower alone Is
used, and one color. Thus you may have

WASHINGTON, d. c., December l.
or all the story-tellers that have breathed
the air of Washington there was none
whose anecdotes are more often quoted
than those Of Abraham Lincoln. There
was also none more applicable
to the subject OF conversation. His story
swapping horses while crossing
stream has run over both
hemispheres. The Amrican people
appreciate applicable anecdotes. and Lin
coins stories were never told without
purpose. They were lights that made his
public policy clearly distnguishable
Whether told upon the stump in Illinois
or at Cabinet meetings they were equally
effective. The people appreciated the
moral as we'll as the point Of each story.
This story-telling gift Of the martyred
President gave him a popularity that be-
came worldwide.
The stories told upon the floor OF the
House are indicative Of the character
and ability Of the representatives.. Some
are old anecdotes clothed in new dress.
Others are new and characteristic Of the
district which the congressman repre-
sent The Senate is a staid and dignlfed
body, and produces very few rem!nis-
cences. There is an abandon about the
House, however which produces a story
telling atmosphere. The debate on the
repeal Of the Sherman law would have
been a very dry discussion indeed were
II not for the stories illustrative OF the
situation. Some Of these stories have
already been retold: others are worth
recording only one Senator ventured
upon reminiscent ground. He was that
glorious veteran. Zebulon y. Vance. in
attacking the repealers he said that they
wanted TO maintain parity between the

THE SORT OF GOWN.
For small dinner the gown should BE-
rich in material. elegant In cut and very
simple.
say small dinners because in Paris
there are so many dinners that prelude
receptions and fetes. in which elaborate
evening toilet Is worn.
Let the material be- velvet or satin or
silk. and the garniture be guipure lace or
passementerles Of mock jewels, or TO silk
add simply velvet. II should be half
decollete.
In America many women do not wear
decollete dinner gowns. and Paris dress
makers make many high gowns expressly
for America, but among Parisians they
are de riguer.
Let the sleeve cover the elbow. thus
directly hiding any sharpness Of angle
that may be- there, since one cannot dine
in gloves, and let the skirt be some inches
longer than 10 the floor.
