utation which preceded it on it's tri-
umphal excursion to this city. 1t is
all that it is claimed to be--a very
pleasing and entertaining collation. of
bright and cleverly executed sketches
and specialties. There is just plot
enough to hold in place the threads of
sparkling humor which radiate from a
common center of gravitation-the ho-

is necessary to shift them, and this is
required but once, when the stranded
aggregation of circus performers take
possession of building to which is
attached the signboard of another ho-

begins. In rapid succession the seve-

company is noted follow one another,

sence of mirth. The leading characters
are there, but there are others For

Witt, BERTHE Fowler and Phil Ryley
there are Burrell Barbaretto, Patti

READY IN TWO Weeks
Atlantic School House Will Soon
Be Completed.
THE FINISHING TOUCHES
It Is Beautiful Building-Labor Troubles
Interfered With the Work OF
Construction = Plenty OF
School Desks.

The beautiful new Atlantic street
school house will be ready for occupan-
cy In couple of weeks. The doors
have not been set, because the rush
OF work at the mills where they are
being :zae~ was so great that it was
impossible to turn them out on sched-
ule time. Once they are hung the
desks can be put up and other finish
ing touches made. 1t will be one of the
finest school buildings in the state.
One of the school trustees remarked
yesterday:
Il wish the building We're up nearer
the center of the city because it is the
kind Of ornament the city needs. 1t is
away down there where not more than
one-sixth of the population will prob
ably ever see it. Still I am glad that
it is so near finished. 1t was started
a year ago last September, but on ac-
count of labor trouble and early cold
weather. an extension of time was ne
cessariiy granted the contractor. It
was to have been completed by the first
of September, but it appears that I'M
foreseen contingencies arose to defer
operations, and now at last word is
given out that 1t will be ready by
about the first of next month. But it
is g. beauty and of that there is no
doubt"
There is no possibility Of famine in
school desks. The district recently or
dered carload of adjustable desks,
and these will arrive in few days At
| the last meeting of the board the car
load OF desks purchased and con-
demned few weeks ago was taken.
These are not adjustable, but they will
be used in grades where the sizes will
conform to the sizes Of the pupils. The
representative of the Standard School
Furniture company of Chicago, L. S.
Mallory, made the board a proposition,
and everything being agreeable the
trustees accepted the offer and took
the desks, which in the meantime had
received thorough polishing and over
hauling and brought up to the stand
ard of the sample introduced when the
original contract was entered into. The
acceptance of this one carload of desks,
however, does not make effective The
contract originally made. This has
been duly and formally revoked.
The district is going to make an ex-
perimenta1 test with coal stoves. The
buildings not heated by furnaces have
wood stoves, and the recent discus
sions in the board of the fuel question
led to the introduction of coal stoves
in one of the buildings. There will he
placed an equal number of wood and
coal STOVES IN tnis buliultlS, SO DIS 70
make a comparative test as to the cost
of heating. IT. it be found that coal is
cheap enough to warrant the replacing
of the wood stoves with coal stoves.
the change will be made. The price of
wood is said to be $3.50, and the board
thinks that coal can be bought at a
figure that will make the price of wood
look as high as blazes.

HAD A GRIEVANCE.
Some Carpenters Who Are Unable to Get
Their Wages.

Several carpenters called at police
headquarters last night to state a
grievance and to find out if the depart
ment would not try to help them get
their dues. 1t all came about through
the settlement J. A. Rhoades made with
j. Devlin, the man who put up the cash
to build the little race track called
Ranchero park. There We're a dozen or
more carpenters who did not get their
wages, and in due time and by process
of law took the matter up to the district
court. There it remained until yester-
day, when it was dismissed by stipula-
ton. There is where the rub comes in
According to the statement of the car
penters, the several claims We're as
signed to Rhoades, who appeared in the
case as the plaintiff. Yesterday settle
ment was effected by the payment of IS
cents on the dollar, aggregating in the
neighborhood of $500. The carpenters
stated that they had an appointment
with Rhoades at 8 o'clock last night
and that he did not show up. Then it
occurred to them that probably Rhoades
had left the city They asked the police
to assist them, and nothing has been
heard of the matter since.

With the aid of modern electrical adj

1ner OF St. Elzabeth's staff gave a review
OF the campaign preceding the fall of San

screen in the chapel hall of the asylum
had been secured in the field by one of the
American officers. Major General Shafter 5

from the time 1t left Key West, Fla, until
the stars and stripes were raised over San

T. Baxter and many other property owners
and residents, was recently presented to the
District Commissioners protesting against
the continuance of the billboard erected at
the intersection of NJ street and Thomas
circle, and praying that the Commissioners
cause its removal. AS will appear from the
following letter addressed to Mrs. Baxter
by DR.. VIM. Tindall, secretary to the board
Of Commissioners the latter, while fully
appreciating the annoyance caused by the
billboard, regret they are powerless to af-
ford any relief in the matter:
In response to the petition signed by
yourself and several others protesting
against the presence of a billboard on a
vacant lot at NJ street and Thomas circle,
l am directed to state that the Commission
ers have given the matter very careful con-
sideration, and have consulted with the at
tOrney for the District of Columbia but can
find no law or regulation that would au-
thorize him to interfere with the billboard
in question. 1t is not opposed to the health
or morals of the community, and is nor
dangerous to life or limb.
AT the same time the Commissioners
fully appreciate the annoyance that a bill
board may prove to the residents of the
neighborhood and regret that, as the law
now stands, they are pOwerless TO afford
any relief in the matter"

WITH INTENT TO KILL.
Arrest of Two Negroes for Alleged
MurderOus Assault.

George Moody and Robert Green. both
coiored. who are wanted in Maryland for
assault, with intent to kill Mr.. Harry Cro-
zer, were arrested this morning in this
city.
The assault on Mr.. Grocer was made, it
| is alleged. last October, at his home, near
Suitland, and is said to have been the re-
suit Of q. dispute between some colored men
concerning a crap game. Fearing that
there would be bloody fight among those
in the game Mr.. Grocer interfered and
asked that peace be restored. The whole
party, it is stated then turned on Mr.
Grocer, and Moody, it is alleged, cut him
| In number of pieces For time 1t was
feared he would die. Green struck Mr.
Grocer, fut did not cut him.
Immediately after the commission of the
crime the accused parties fed to this city
according to the statements made. but left
before news of the affairs reached here
Moody, 1t has been ascertained, went to
Richmond. Va. from which city he re-
| turned yesterday, and Green has been wan
dering about the country until recently.
Soon after the affair bench warrant for
the arrest of the accused men was issued
by Judge John P. Briscoe of the Prince
Georges county court and placed I'm the
hands OF Deputy Sheriff Arthur B. Suit
who came to Washington and secured
the aid of Major Sylvester and In
spector Boardman in the matter. The lat
ter assigned Detectives Muller and Banr to
work up the case When Green returned to
Washington they located him, but, as It
Yves not desirable to take him into custody
| until Moody could also be secured, he was
merely kept under surveillance.
1t was learned last night that Moody
was in town, and the detectives, accom-
panied by Officers Narrower and McI<ie,
went to the homes of the men wanted and
secured them.
Moody was found at No. 20S 18th street
southeast and Green at a house on c street
between 14th and 18th streets southeast.
The prisoners were takne to headquarters,
where they were searched and later locked
up. During the day they will be turned
over to Deputy Sheriff Suit, who has come
after them and who will take them TO
Upper Marlboro for trial.
