ROCKVILLE. November -, 1897
On Saturday evening about o'clock 1t
was discovered that the interior of the
western portion of the court house was in
flames, and the alarm was given. The fire
originated from defect in the heating ap-
paratus, and, from Indications, had been
burning for some time before 1t was dis
covered. Sheriff Collier, as he was leaving
his office in the building, was the first to
notice it. The fire company responded
promptly. and, after cutting away a por-
ton of the floor and removing some OF the
iron grating. the blaze was extinguished.
The loss will reach between $50 and 500.

TAX CERTIFICATES.
COmmi ssiOners VIII Issue No More
Without Prepnyment of Fee.

Commits siOners VIII Issue No More
Without Prepayment of Fee.
In accordance with the recommendation
of Auditor Petty, which was made part
of his report upon the investigation Of the
alleged embezzlement in the office Of the
assessor, the Commissioners have decided
that hereafter no free certificates of taxes
will be issued.
This recommendation was based upon the
suggestion Of the attorney for the District,
who says the statute does not contemplate
free tax certificates, and the practice of
giving them should be abolished. To do
this it will be necessary for the Commits
sioners to revoke their order of June %,
1895. and promulgate another to the effect
that they will not approve subdivision
until all taxes and assessments against the
property embraced in the subdivision are
paid.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
If all persons who are interested in the
hat question would add their protest tc
those who have already made their com
pliments, the theater managers would GER
tainly know beyond any doubt that it was
time they were taking some action in the
matter and insist upon women removing
their hats. 1 invariably notice my own
sex as they come in. to see who is and who
is not lady, for after all has been said on
the subject. 1 am quite sure not one lady
keeps her hat on, especially on the first
floor Of the theater. l do not mean a small
fiat evening bonnet, as some wear. but a
hat of any shape or size is sure to obstruct
the view of the stage, and should be re-
moved.
On Tuesday evening, when the Bostonians
were here at the New National Theater my
whole evening was spoiled, and I did not
get the good of the opera at all, simply on
account of a selfish person who sat in front
of me- with fiat but broad hat, having a
few struggling feathers which broadened
1t still more. Most any one would have
been glad to remove such hat. l endured
it as long as l could, and upon looking all
over the first floor noticed there was not
a single lady who had not removed her hat
This gave me some courage, therefore
apologizingly and very humbly asked her
as amiably as l could to remove her hat
refinement or any social manners at all,
she would have complied with my request.
She put her hands up to her head and
partly turning and looking at me 1 very
sweetly bowed, acknowledging my thanks.
But, behold, instead of removing it she
simply planted it on her head more firmly
Notwithstanding that 1 was the sufferer
and somewhat embarrassed. 1 tried to ex-
cuse her on the plea that she either did not
comb her hair or it was a wig which she
had on, and she had not the moral courage
to take the hat off.
1t rests entirely with the managers of the
theaters and in justice to their patrons
they should interest themselves and insist
upon the removal of hats, as is done in
some other cities. A lady will not wait to
be requested and the other person should
be Inundated when she has in thought the
comfort of those behind her. The manage.
ment could not possibly lose anything by
it, instead it would gain the admiration and
blessings of all its patrons. E. c. c. ,
