the electric trains the coming Sunday. The
electric trains leave the station at 13l.

LACK OF PROTECTION.
Chief Paris Views of situation Mt
Capitol Building.


The explosion and resulting fire at the
Capitol Sunday evening again demonstrat-
ed, it is claimed. that the immense build
ing is not as fully protected against fire
as it should be. AT least such is the opin-
ion of Chief Paris of the District fire de-
partment. In a communication to the Dis
trict Commissioners, Mr.. Paris today
recommended that the attention of the
proper authorities be called to the matter,
and the Commissioners will forward a copy
of the chiefs letter to the architect of the
Capitol, with their Endorsement.
The letter is follows:
Il 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
pace, there is no DrOvlSio whatever to
send in a call in the event of a fire. Last
Sunday evening it was necessary for an
officer of the police department to go to
the coast and geodetic survey building
tboX Oh to send in the alarm. This, of
course, caused delay. / would suggest
that at least three tire-alarm boxes be
placed within the building-one IN each
wing. and one in the central portion.
adequate There We're but five engines
working at this fire. and had it been neces-
sary to send for additional ones they would
not have had sufficient hose to reach the
lile. AS IL was. engine company IL uSed
400 feet of hose, engine companies and
+ loo feet each, engine company $50
feet and engine company 3 ST. feet.
In addition to being compelled to lay out
so many feet o. hose, engine company re-
ports that upon its arrival it connected
with the hydrant at the south steps on the
east side, but found they could get no wa
ter,and were compelled to take their engine
to the cistern directly in front of the build
ing. Such a state of affairs should not ex-
ist, and l would earnestly urge that the
necessary water mains be laid and fire
hydrants erected to give this building the
proper protection"

Child Taken From Parents.

Mollie Fletcher nine years old and small
for her age, appeared in Judge kimball's
Court this morning in the custody of two
ladies connected with the board OF cinl.
Gren's guardians. A paper reciting tina,
she is the child of drunken parents and
therefore without a suitable home, was
filed.
The Fletchers live at 26 l. street north
west, and three brothers of the pretty little
child informed the court that both mother
and father drink and neglect the child. Ii
was their wish that the court take tileiI
sister frcm the parents in order that She
may be properly cared for.
The father, who was considerably under
the influence of liquor, was present in
court. He admitted that he gets drunk oc-
casonally, and sometimes remains drunk
for several Gays. Then he proceeded 10 at
tack his sons, but the judge refused to heal
him.
The child was taken from her parents
and turned over to the board of children's
guardians.

AMUSEMENTS.

THE IDOLS EYE."-Rain does not de-
ter Frank Daniels friends and IN spite
OF the disagreeable weather last evening
the Columbia was again filed to the doors,
particular attraction being offered in a
change of bill from THE Wizard of the
Nile" to The Idols Eye" 1t is difficult for
one to determine whether the inimitable
Frank is funnier as wiz or as an aero
naut. In the opera of the optic he de-
clares he is an aeronaut, and adds that
perhaps he ought to not but the lovers
of his comicaities are glad that he is.
Daniels is too good. too clever, too droll to
ccEhne his humor to one part or one opera,
ana one almost wishes his repertoire was
larger that more of his versatility might
be seen.
The Idols Eye is perhaps the most
popular of the latter day operas played in
Washington. Its tuneful waltzes and
marches, and the irresistible "Tattooed
Man are whistled on every corner. 1t
has been said that The Eyes music is
too popular, for when one goes to the
theater where it is being sung one knows
exactly what is to be heard. But the hear
ing, the scenic splendor, the pretty chorus
girls. the convIlsive funniness of Cupid
Daniels and Aif Wheelan are irresistible
and each time the production comes to
town the cozy Columbia at once hangs out
the IS. r. o. sign for all the week. Dan
iels is something of a chorus girl oscula tor
and you can bet he knows thing or two
about selecting the best looking ones on
the market.
All of the old favorites are seen in "The
Idols Eye" the only changes being Miss
Kate TART, who this year sings the role of
high priestess of the temple and John B.
Park, who plays the American lover of Mara
quta, replacing Darcy The latter change
is especially appreciated. AS Abel Conn,
Daniels has much latitude and is funnier,
if possible, than ever before. Alf Wheelan

THE Idols Eye will be repeated tonight
and tomorrow night, with The Wizard"
