THE GREAT GELF.

Close by her side for so many years,
So close | hear her heating heart,
And yet our souls as far apart
As though we dwelt in different spheres.
Were seas between and leagues of land,
| could bear this with better grace,
But thou to look upon her face,
And thou To clasp and claim her hand,
And know though / would die for her,
That this is all | havc-that far
From me us any farthest star,
Her heart is still wandCrer.
This is deaths pang. What though there roll
Wide wastes between our paths Il thought
Can bridge that sea, but there is naught
Can span the sea between two souls.

MUST STOP CRAP SHOOTING.
Commissioners Are Determined to
Eradicate This EVIL.

The crap-shootiHg evil has grown TO such
proportions in the District that the Com
missioners have found il necessary to con-
slider AS to the best means OF eradicating it.
Special Assistant Attorney Pugh was
acting president of the board, for his views
Of methods. Mr. Pugh responded that, in
lis judgment, one remedy is in having Of
Tenders tried before Judge Kimbail instead
of before Judge Miller, for the reason that
heavier sentences may be secured on the
District side.
This present act" Mr.. Pugh says, "has
been held by Judge Kimhall TO apply to
this character Of offenses, when the same
are committed upon any street, avenue, or
alley. or In any public or private inclosure:
but in no Instance could this act apply to
any offenses alleged to have been com
mitted on an open lot, unless the accused
can be shown to have engaged in loud
and boisterous talking or to have used
profane or indecent language loud enough
to be heard upon the street, avenue, OF
alley
The attorney thinks that whenever this
class OF offenders can be successfully
prosecuted on the District side of the
court they should he, as the punishment
metcd out there is more severe than on .hc
United states side.
In the District court a wUrShOuse sen
tence is usually the result, thus Compelling
the offenders 10 work out the penalty
rather than stand a mere jail sentence

ments for Inaugural Ceremonies.
A few changes and appointments were
announced today by Chairman Bell of the
executive committee In charge OF the In
auguration ceremonies.
Messrs. Hamilton, BayIey, John 4. Car
mody, and Clarence b. Rheem were made
vice chairnen u< the street decoration coin
mittee.
BP Snyder and F. C. Stevens resigned
fromthe finance committee, as the y find they
cannot spare the time for the work. Capt.
George E Lemon was added to the COM
mlttee.
Callers at headquarters were Hon. A. T.
wimberly, Congressman elect and na-
tional Republican committeeman from
Louisiana, and Col. Swords.
Col. Britton nd Mr.. Bell went to the new
Library Building this morning in order
TO make a careful inquiry into its Gu
pacity and adaptability for the ball and
reception.
They found that n kitchen could be erected
outside the building, at the northeast
corner of the east front without damaging
IT in any way, and also that there is ample
room inside for the multitude.
1t is believed that they returned more in
favor OF the library than ever, particularly
as they hold that no material damage will
be done the fine art work inside or outside.
Chairman Bell will, however, recommend
that the executive committee toni ght let the
matter lie over few days, until the general
organization OF the cUtninlttees is Con-
Cluded.
Very little can be done at the me ting
this evening except to confirm the sub
chairInen, outline the plan OF work, and
organization, and instruct the various com
mitteeS in their functions.

May Now Be Stopped.

Owing to the Increased number of hall
way aud overcoat thefts during the past
week, Detectives Lacey, Boyd and Heian
have been rounding up thieves who
make this class of crooked work spe-
cialty.
This trio has succeeded in landing two
men who are said to be expert coat snatch
ers and hallway workers. They are Fred
Boston and Sam Banks, both of whom are
locked up for a hearing in the police court
on Tuesday.
THE THEFT COMMITTED.
Last Monday night Henry Davis at
tended ball at the Grand Army Hall.
He Wore a nice black overcoat, which was
deposited in an ante room. After the hall
was over, Davis found that i.is coat was
gone.
Ine theft was reported to police head
quarters, and Detectives Boyd, Lacey, and
Ii elan asst gned to thccase. Yesterday they
arrested Boston, who is known as an ex-
pert oyercoat thief, and this forenoon
Boyd and Lacey captured Banks.

die earlier in the week, as his temporary
successor will have to be chosen by the
circuit court of the county, which at that
time had a Dem oeratic majority.
Gov. Lowndes yesterday officially ap-
pointed Mr.. George @. Merrick, judge Of
the circuit court TO succeed Judge John b.
Brooke, whose tefru had expired. Judge
Merrick was always a close friend of Mr..
Belt, who was ai.e OF those who urged
upon Gov. Lowndes the appointment he
has just made.
The successor to be appointed will at
tend to the affairs of the clerks office
until next November, when the election
for the legislature a nd for one of the county
COR missioners take splace.
1t is very probable that ex-County Treas
urer James T. Perkins will be a candidate
to succeed Mr.. Belt, as he was Mr.. Belt S
opponent for the nomination a year ago.
