a vacant house at night. The neighbors
had made complaints against the men, so
said the policemen, and it was believed
that they had been committing thefts from
the gardens of the neighbors. None of the

The climax was reached yesterday after

CHARGED WITH DISORDER.
The BrOoklnnd Case Did Not Hold fl
Court.

The BrOOklAnd Case Did Not Hold i'm
Court.
The usual quiet of the peaceful suburb
Brookland, was somewhat disturbed last
evening when it became known that Alex
ander c. YZnaga, son Of one of the most
prominent citizens and property owners of
the town, had been placed under arrest for
disorderly assembly and loud and boisterous
talking. Interest was added to the incident
because of the excellent reputation of
young YZnaga.
The case was called in the Police Court
this morning, and then Harry Burr and
Francis Burr, who were in court as wit
nesscs for Yznaga, learned for the first time
that they, too, had been included in the
Information as defendants. That fact gave
the attorney for the defendant opportunity
to remark at the expense of Acting Prose-
cutor Richardson, that it was realized at
the last moment that YZnaga could not be
charged alone with disorderly assembly,
and therefore the Burr boys were included
in order to make the information valid.
Policeman Willingham made the arrest,
and he testified that complaint had been
made by Druggist John r. Painter about
crowds Of boys standing In front of his
place Of business. He found several boys
there last evening, so the policeman stated,
and Yznaga and the Burr boys were in the
party. He said to them; Boys, please
stand off the walk and Yznaga replied
II don't know whether I will or not" and
added: You'd better run us out of Brook
land" The policeman did all he could TO
prevent the necessity OF making an arrest,
he said, but saw no other way out of the
difficulty.
Yzanaga declared that the policeman
stated to him: Il am going to run you out
OF Brookland If you give me any of your
sass
IT am not sassing yoh,'' he replied.
"Well, then, get off the corner
I'm not on any corner"
Thereupon, said the witness. the police
man jerked him to the patrol box and car
red him to the station, without giving him
an opportunity to communicate with his
parents. Had it not been for a friend. he
said, he would have been compelled to
spend the night in a CELL:
Druggist Painter testified that he had
never made complaint against any of the
boys accused He had always considered
| Yznaga perfect gentleman, and the latter
had been in the habit of assisting him in
| the store
Judge Kimball dismissed the case, admon-
ishing the boys, however, that it Is Door

HIGH SCHOOL BATTALION.
Gossip Concerning the Omcers to BE
Appointed.

Gossip Concerning the Omccrs to be
Appointed.
The High School Battalion for the COM
ing year will in all probability be formed
next Monday. 1t is hoped that there will
be eight companies the same as last year,
but on account Of the material available
and IL a height restriction Is insisted upon
by the military committee, the Eastern
High School will have only one company
and Company G will go out of existence:
The physical condition of the boys who
enter school this year is discouraging, from
a military standpoint, their stature making
it impossible for them to enlist. This is
most strongly felt at the Eastern and
Business. The Central will have four COM
panies, but the casual observer will find
that small boys take the place of the taller
fellows. and their appearance will not be
as good or their work as satisfactory as
that of their predecessors.
The Western seems 10 be more fortunate
in having good material to pick their one
company from. as the spirit and general
set-up Of the boys is encouraging.
The Eastern boys who expect commits
Sions are using their persuasive powers to
get large number of recruits. so that the
two companies will be retained, and there
by keep the regular number of commits
sicns. They will try, and expect, to retain
the flag, which they won last year In the
competitive drill.
The plan of last year, in regard to the
enlistment of cadets, will be carried out
this year at the Business, and only those
who have obtained favorable standing i'm
scholarship and department will be en-
listed.
While there is no official Information as
to who will be the field officers or from
what particular school they will be ap-
pointed. it Is thought that the lieutenant
colonel will be appointed from the Eastern
and the major of the I'd Battalion from
the Western. these schools claiming the
positions.
Those mentioned as likely to receive COM
missions are:
Daniels or Julihn of the Central, as
colonel. Miller of the Eastern, lieutenant
colonel: Hoover or Hoge of Central. major,
1st Battalion; Berry of Western. major. 2d
Battalion 1st neutrality-suspicious.. Far
row. Wood, Pratt and Howe: lieutenants.
w. 9. Tisdell. A. p. Tisdell, Talbot. Haw-
son. Began and Edmons. I'd Battalion
Captains. Bryant and Yount Of the Eastern
Smoot and MACEDONIAN Of Western. White
of the Business; lieutenants, French, Hunt
er, Pierson, Larry and Patterson of the
Eastern, Walters. Craig and Holcomb OF
the Western. Amiss and Burgess of the
Business.

Why He Wanted the Tiger.

Miss Maggie Cline of the "On Broadway"
company has a memory as capacious as
Tammany Hal. and many people wonder
a her repertoire of yarns. which mount
among the hundreds. When in Philadel-
phia short while ago she told about
countryman who visited New York CRY
and dropped in on a sale of animals on
Park Row. which had been widely adver-
t:sed. The place was filed with showmen.
Among them were James A. Bailey. John
Ringling, Louis Cook, Adam FOrepaugh, jr.,
Pete Sells and John Robinson. The coun-
trymdn looked as an interested spec-
tator without making a single bid, until
the eloquent ductioneer put fierce though
beautiful tiger under the hammer. Then
the meek-looking cOuntryman awoke from
his !ethargy and raised Mr.. Bailey's first
bid He kept on raising Bailey until the
CO. You don't want such an animal" said
him" Still the old man kept on bidding,
and finally the tiger was knocked down 20
him. Mr.. Bailey approached him again and
said: see here, my friend, 1 am Jas. A.
Bailey of the Barnum and Bailey's shows.
and / would like 10 have you tell me WHY
you have bought that ferocious tiger" The
old fellow looked at him a moment and re-
piled: "Well, if yo're Bailey, / don't mind
telling you. The fact is l lost my wife

A GREAT STORE GROWS GREATER.

Enlargement of the Perry Building
Formal Opening Tomorrow Evening.
Brick walls are no barrier to a growing
business. For the second time within four
years Mr.. Seaton Perry, proprietor Of the
popular dry goods establishment at the
corner Of Pennsylvania avenue and 9th
street. has found 1t necessary to reach
out beyond the limits of the original Perry
building for much-needed room.
In 1888 Mr.. Perry obtained possession
Of the premises adjoining the corner on the
north, which gave him three additional
floors of selling space. Still the business
kept growing. Early this spring negotia-
lions were contaminated, whereby the adj
joining building. $40 Pennsylvania avenue
was added to this great block of stores.
Upon this latest acquisition Mr.. Perry
has expended large sum of money in inn
provements, that converted it into more
tive front has taken the place Of the old
one. and fine show window is one of the
features. The ceilings have been raised to
conform to the interior plan Of the Perry
building, and the Identity of the new ac-
QUESTION has been lost in the TRANSFORMED
ton. Great wide arches. and plenty of
them, have linked these three stores into
one. constituting one of the most thor
oughly equipped modern retail stores In
the District as the home Of this old-estab-
lished business. Every convenience that
contributes to the comfort of patrons of
this establishment and the prompt dis
patch Of the commercial details has been
introduced. Two swift and safe passenger
elevators make the four stories easily ac-
| cessible, and an Independent elevator cares
| for the freight.
The latest improved pneumatic cash sys-
| tenn runs like great arteries into every part
| of the store. radiating from the newly con-
| structed cash desks on the second floor of
| the recent addition. All the mechanical
| appliances are underground. where also
| have been fitted up the bundle rooms, leav-
| ing every inch of room above ground avail.
| able for selling purposes.
| With the increase of room new DEPART
| ments have been added, and the hamper
| ing contraction of the old ones relieved
! Few retail stores in this country have the
| spotless record that this house boasts, dur.
| ing its fifty-six years of existence. Few
1 enjoy such full and free confidence of the
| community in which they are located
/ The growth has been substantial and Is
| creditable alike to Washington and Mr.
