A GRACEFUL COMPLIMENT.

John Gardner Superintendent of the Cartridge Department at Winches- ter's, Gets Pleasant Surprise It is the fashion Of the world to toler- ate man when he Is alive and fulsome- ly ibemoan him when he is dead. Great gef1iuses have ofttimes asked the world for bread and it has given them stone "a monument to their memory. There are exceptions, however to every rule, and an expression of respect and appre- citation is always q welcome break in the rnonctony of existence-an oasis of goodwill in the desert of business. A song of friendship for the living is worth a thousand requiems.
 The employees of the cartridge depart ment of the Winchester Repeating Arms company paid the respected su- perintendent of the department, John Gardner a very graeeful compliment yesterday noon. The idea was formu- lated short time ago to procure MT. Gaidner's picture for the office The 'hoys'' took up the idea with enthusi- asm. and it quickly took shape and ma- terialized. The picture was hung in place yesterday during the noon hour 1t is a 2Ox24 photograph by Randall and is a speaking likeness and an artistic masterpiece. Framed in the chaste dark oak so much affected these days, 1t Is q combination which makes a very attractive acquisition to the office. MT, Gardner was in entire ignorance of the arrangement, and he was genuinely and aereeably surprised when his attention was drawn to the picture tastefully hung over his official location. Need less to say, he very much appreciates the graceful compliment and tangible expression Of respect from his office em- ployes,

WIDENING OF v STREET.
An Opinion on the General Subject by
Attorney DuVall.

The attorney for the District has advised
the Commissioners that the application of
Mr.. j. II. Taylor, attorney for Mr.. F. K.
Huidekoper, for the widening Of V street
To the full width of sixty feet through
square south of square 1896, under the pro-
visions of the act relating to minor streets.
Should be denied. The attorney states that
the westernmOst go feet Of this street is
already opened to width Of sixty feet. SO
that the present application IL really to
widen the easternmost one hundred and
twenty feet from twenty-slx To sixty feet.
H.. explains that the act referred to au-
thorizes the Commissioners to open minor
streets of a width not less than forty feet
nor more than sixty feet. to run through a
square from one street TO another; that a
m:nor street is defined in the act as street
hicn is run through d square from
one street to aEother. But he says
that it is quite apparent that if the
street is opened in accordance with this
application, it will not be such minor
street but an extension of V street In
order 10 open the street. in his opinion. it
would be necessary to have legislation au-
thorizing condemnation proceedings there
for. He is of the opinion that the applicI-
ton should be denied.

bers of the 18th Infantry, the former sta
toned at Madison barracks and the latter

tend Gen. Lawton's funeral yesterday, got
into trouble. OHare was arrested early in
the afternoon before he had attended the

Attorney Jones argued that a man who
had served his country in Cuba should have
special privileges when he returns II he
takes little too much to drink he should
be excused.
Judge Scott said he did not understand
why special privileges should be granted
soldier. Soldiers, who are under strict mill
tary discipline. he said, should know better.
As his comrades had all returned home and
left him. Judge Scott said he would not i'm
