The entire collection of plate in the
London Mansion house is a wonderful
sight. An idea of the wealth of it may
be gathered from the fact that at the
time of the opening Of the Mansion house
in 1853, the plate, which was deposited
in the strong room, cost Eli, 531 16s Sd.
Every year since then each lord mayor
has added to the collection to the amount
of $500, and in addition there are many
handsome presentation pieces.

\ Scotch university professor, irritated
to find that his students had got into the
habit of placing their hats and canes on
his desk instead Of in the cloakroOm, an
nOunced that the next article of the kind
placed there would be destroyed Some
days later the professor was called for a
moment from the classroom. A student
slipped into his private room and emerged
with the professors hat, which he placed
conspicuously on the desk, while his fell
lows grinned and trembled. The pro-
fessor, on returning, saw the hat. thought
some rashly-obstinate student had been
delivered into his hands, and, taking out
his knife. he cut the offending article to
pieces, while vainly attempting to conceal
the smile Of triumph that played about
his countenance- He was IN a very bad
temper the next day.-Ex

OBJECTS TO STREET CARS.
Mrs. Kubel Wants the Quiet of FRS,
Street Left Undisturbed.


Mrs Josephine Kubel, resident of First
Street northeast, has written to the Com
missioners protesting against the con-
struction of an underground electric sys-
tenn of the City and Suburban Railroad
along First Street northeast, in the block
between C and D Streets.
AT present there are no car tracks in the
street. The lexington line extends out c
Street and returns from its Eastern ter
minus in D Street as far as Fourth
Street, passing along the latter thorough
fare to C Street and running again in c
Street to the heart of the city. Under the
franchise providing for the installation of
the new underground system the City and
Suburban line, as it will then be called
will not run on Fourth Street from D to
c Streets, but will continue by single
track along d to First Street, and along
the latter street southwark to C Street,
where it will join the old route.
The protest is against the single track
construction on this)street. In replying to
the complaint yesterday. the Commission
ers stated that the track is to be laid in
conformity with provision made by the
act of Congress authorizing the installa-
tion of the new system, and for this rea-
son they have informed Mrs. Kubel that
they cannot interfere in the matter.

CAPITOL POORLY PROTECTED.
Chief Paris Urges More Alarm Boxes
and Hydrants.

Chief Paris Urges More Alarm Boxes
and Hydrants.
Chief Paris, of the District Fire De-
partment. yesterday called the attention
of the District Commissioners to the lack
of facilities for the proper protection of
the Capitol.
The Commissioners are without au-
thority to afford better protection for the
structure as the Capitol comes under the
supervision of the architect, but they are
ready to cooperate in every possible
manner and the letter of the fire chief
has been transmitted to the architect In
order that he may be guided by the sug
gestions therein contained.
Chief Paris expresses the opinion
that there are not enough fire hydrants
on the Capitol grounds. The letter reads
as follows:
II have the honor TO recommend that
the attention OF the proper authorities be
called to the lack of fire protection at the
Capitol building. This was most apparent
on the occasion OF the recent fire. In the
first place, there is no provision whatev-
er to send In a call in the event Of n
fire Last Sunday evening 1t was neces-
sary for an officer OF the police depart
ment TO go to the coast and Geodetic
Survey Building (boX 5l) to send in the
alarm. This, of course, caused a delay.
would suggest that at least three fire
alarm boxes be placed within the build
ing-oRe in each wing. and one in the
central portion.
Again, the water supply Is wholly in
adequate. There were but five engines
working at this fire, and had II been nee
essary to send for additional ones they
would not have had sufficient hose To
reach the fire. AS II was, engine COM
pany II used 1,i00 feet OF hose; engine
companies and 6. 1850 feet each: engine
company 6. $50 feet. and engine company
3, 500 feet.
''In addition TO being compelled TO lay
out so many feet OF hose, engine compa-
ny reports that upon its arrival it con-
nected with the hydrant at the south
steps on the east side. but found they
could get no water. and were compelled to
take their engine to the cistern directly
in front of the building. Such a state of
affairs should not exist, ana would earn
estly urge that the necessary water mains
be laid and fire hydrants erected to give
this building the proper protection

Those who have not been to Arlington lately
should certainly be on hand tomorrow TO take
advantage of the reduced rates offered by the

way Company. This may be the last opportu-
nifty Of the season. as these special trips NAV
be discontinued after the coming Sunday For
tomorrow, however, round-trip tickets good only

cents. To spend the morning or AFTERNOON hours
at Arlington is certainly very pleasant way
OF spending part Of Sunday and as the fare
on the electric trains is so low. there will
doubtless he good-szed crowd at the beautiful
national cemetery during the entire day. The
electric trains leave the station at Thirteen and
