J. T. Justh, of 6l9 D Street northwest
has filed complaint with the Commission
ers against the clduct of certain mer-
chants on d Street between Sixth and
Seventh Streets The practice referred to
is popularly known as barking The
matter was referred to the Police Depart
ment for consideration and action and
Major Sylvester issued an order for Lieu
tenant Moore, of the Sixth precinct, to
procure warrants and arrest the persons
complained Of
Lieutenant Moore has now reported to
the Major and Superintendent the result
OF his efforts to bring these people into
the Police Court.
"A year ago, says lieutenant Moore,
u. T. Justh complained of the conduct
of the storokeepers on d Street in this
that they stood in front of their places
of business took hold of persons passing
by and impOrtuned them to come in and
purchase. At that time / caused one or
two arrests to be made. charging the de-
PENDANTS with unlawful assembly, and
Judge Scott, before whom the cases were
tried and dismissed, stated that persons
so stopped should make charge against
these people.
I'm reference to this complaint l de-
tailed Private Galpin to watch these
merchants, with the result that he saw
two of them IN front OF their stores tax
ing hold of persons and inviting them into
their places of business. The officer ap-
piled to Mr.. Pugh, the Attorney for the
District of Columbia, for warrants ana
was refused the same, Mr. Pugh statlng
that the persons taken hold of and stopped
should apply for warrants for assault II
they felt aggrieved. While this com
plant is somewhat true, the practice OF
| these people is not carried 70 the extent
of annoying the public, and ! think there
is some business jealousy existing in the

of the .sRarISers'' ON Street.-The
Major Richard Sylvester has returned
to the Commissioners a statement rela-
tive to the deposit of fines imposed upon
street crossing policemen to form a fund
for their benefit Under such conditions as
the Board might name. 1t viii be re-
called that a few weeks ago Major Syl-
vester called the attention Of the Com
missioners TO the matter. and said that
it was not just to deposit these fines to
the regular policemen's fund. as the
crossing policemen could not share in
the rsnefits Of the fund and asked that
he he instructed as to the use to be made
of the fund. The AIditor suggested that
the fines imposed nppn these officers be
deposited in a separate fund for the use
of disabled or 'aftrm officers Of this type.
Major Sylvester now expresses the be
/ lief that the fines acci uing from this
source will not be sufficient to create a
respectable fund for the purposes sug-
gested by the Auditor but in view of the
determination of the latter ard the di-

"a Rival by Request"

The Union Dramatic Club according
t. announcement played "a Rival by
Request" in the opera house last Friday
night. They were greeted by an uE-
usually large audience. The play was
rather complicated affair in which thu
young bachelor, Walter Pierson. found
himself engaged to two young ladies' In
his effort to extricate himself from the
tangle he induced another man to act
the role of rival. This man was mis-
taken to be newly arrived foreigner,
Lord McMullen, whom Persons friend,
Smythe, had asked him 10 entertain, he
(Smythe) had also sent his valet Mug
gins to Pierson. Muggins arrived first,
was received and treated as Lord Nc
Mullen, while McMulen was received
and treated as valet. McMullen, how
ever, fell in love with Miss Eliza Briggs,
one of the engaged ladies, and patiently
bore the persecution until he woa her
love, and she renounces all claim
TO Pierson and accepts Lord Nc
Mullen, then the deception which
Muggins had been practicing was
discovered and PieIson makes due
apology to Lord McMullen who had how
ever brought about just what Pierson
wished.
Walter Pierson was difficult role but
was handled like veteran 10y Mr.. Geo
NJ. Wright. The part of Smythe, the
tourist, was handled in fine shape by DR..
1. NJ. Hair. Mr.. and Mrs. Briggs, the
wealthy though uncultured parents of
Miss Eliza, were represented by Mr.. b.
F. Townsend and Miss Ethelind Goss.
They handled their parts in a manner
worthy of any stage. They are the star
actors Of the club and one would i'm igine
they had seen years of service behind the
foot lights. Miss Catblpen Moore ap
pealed as Eliza Briggs and Miss Roberta
Hicks as MargaIette Burnett, Person's
old love, both of whom acted their parts
admirably. Miss Julia McGhee and Mr..
L. III. Carlisle as Mr. and Mrs. Burnett
were up-to-date and were the occasion
Of considerable mirth, espe cially in the
domestic wrangles between The Burnetts
and the BriggsI families, resulting in
MessIs. Briggs and Burnett getting on a
glorious drunk. Smythe's valet, Mug
gins, was handled by Mr.. j. G. Hughes,
while Mr.. Sam DePass held down the
character of Lord Albert Anthony Nc
Mullen. Both these young gentlemen
would make their mark on the stage.
The play even exceeded the expecta
tion of the audience and was an all
round good show. We have seen high
priced shows not so good. We under
stand that the Union Dramatic Club
are contemplating taking a trip and
playing in some OF our neighboring cities
and we can say that treat is in store
for the citizens of the towns where they
decide to play.
