TN THE PLAYHOUSEs.

The feature of this weeks bill NJ
Dockstnders Is undoubtedly found in
Harry lie Clair, the character comilue
and burleslue artist In this particular
role LeClar is so far above and beyond
anything Of the kind seeii iii vaudeville
OF late that one is almost tempted to say
he is the only genuine comiuue in tne
business His representations are strong
in every particular, and show no little
thought and study. Mr.. IeClar's act
alone Is more than worth the price of ad
mission. The other acts on the hill are
all good.
"a Stranger In IL Strange Land" the
new Anglo American comedy which APP

Manhatten Theatre, New York, and the
cast that presents it in this city is Of
itself almost 4 sure guarantee of delight
FIJI entertainment a Stranger in Il
Strange Land" is from the pen of Sid

mend.d and viii be presented here in tha
same careful manner as characterized its
success in the leading cities. The Hick-
man Brothers are well and favorably
known from their clever performances
in the past. The comedy has been writ
ten for laughing purposes only. and an
interesting plot runs through the play
which is worked ont in such manner
as to give entire satisfaction TO the au-
ditors which is a political satire on the
Of an Irishman and Dutchman
who have lately landed in America and
seek political fame, Notwithstanding the.
short duration in the land of the free.

daisies to be found anywhere grow there.
1t is not the fault of the climate If garden
ing is not successful in this region, but the
soil is poor and 1t requires skilled work
and fertilizers to obtain the best results.
Pasturage is abundant. The North Amer
lean Commercial Company, at Dutch Har-
bor had last season a large flock of fat
and contented sheep roaming over the hills.
Hogs, chickens, turkeys and geese were
likewise numerous and thrifty. The town
cows at Unalaska, which ran at large,
were as sleek, thrifty-looking cattle as can
be found anywhere.
The whole coast region along Bering sea
and the Alaska peninsula is entirely tree
less. The hills are a beautiful green in
summer, but not a tree can be discovered
anywhere.
Mr. James c. Blaine, United States mar
shall at Unalaska, and Rev. DR.. Newhall,
superintendent of the Jesse Lee Home at
Unalaska have imported several hundred
forest trees of many kinds from Vancouver
Island. Many of them failed to grow, as
might be expected from the length of time
spent on the journey, in addition to being
planted In uncongenial soil; but some are
still alive, and with care and culture may
make fair growth. Nearly a hundred
years ago the Russians attempted to intro
duce trees there. but with only Indifferent
success.

pistols are used. for the purpose of obvi-
ating all risk
Indeed, IT is not unusual for seconds to
agree on some celebrated 'armurier' who
shall furnish sealed box of weapons con-
tanning two pistols sealed and certified, and
a number of similarly certified charges Of
powder and bullets. Trickery would there
fore seem impossible.
In spite however, of all these precau-
tions, the benevolent fraud goes on. There
are usually four seconds - two for each
combatant. AS 1t is easier for two men to
come to an understanding than four. the
pair that have agreed to prevent bloodshed
manage to take charge of the loading,
while their confreres are listening to the
last nervous recommendations of the prin-
cipals.

duel, encounters are sometimes fought with
ordinary weapons and bullets.

Nothing surprised French duelists and
politicians more than the fact that the re-
cent duel between Count Boni de Castellane
and NJ. de Rodays resulted in the latter be-
ing wounded
To the uninitiated 1t may seem odd that
duels fought with deadly firearms should
SO rarely result in injuries to the COM
batants; but the explanation is really simple
enough, for all who have any acquaintance
with French dueling as practiced today are
we'll aware that the bullets are faxed in
nine cases out of ten.
These bullets are made Of mercury and
lead, which in weight and general appear
ance are almost perfect counterfeits Of the
ordinary missiles. except for slightly sill
yer shade and greasy touch. Though heavy
and solid looking, the first blow Of the ram
rod pulverizes them. All sorts Of precau-
tions are supposed to be taken against this
kind Of deception. OF course, where modern
revolvers are used 1t Is not easy to avoid

AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
A Hearing on the Establishment of
Fourteenth Street Market.

The Pleas Of the Company and Pro-
testing Citizens Preventative rI<-
ing of the New System OF Tax Col
Observation-Disclosures n Cow Yard.
hearing was granted yesterday to the
parties interested in the establishment Of
a market on Fourteenth Street between
Y and w Streets northwest, on square 2S5.
This is the second time the matter has
been before the Commissioners, the first
application made some time last year hav-
ing been adversely acted upon. The pres
ent application is changed from the
former one, the Columbia Market Com
pany asking permission to build two or
three small stores fronting on Sixteenth
Street and with a closed wall on the
Street end.
Attorneys r. Edward Mitchell and
Charles II. Turner appeared before the
board for the market company. while E.
Hilton Jackson and William L. Saleau
represented those protesting against the
establishment Of the market on the loca-
ton named Frank 7. Browning also
spoke for the company, and Judge s. w
johnson for the property owners in the
vicinity.
The case Of the market company was
presented by Mr.. Mitchell, who stated that
il was proposed TO build the stores as
stated, that along Fourteenth Street they
would be three stories high and architect
urally in keeping with the locality. He
said that the lot on which it was pro-
posed to build is sixteen by ninety feet.
He submitted that the consent Of a ma
jority OF the property holders in the vlcin-
ity had been filed with the application and
that the building regulations had been
complied with. Mr. Mitchell also called at
tention to the fact that the charter and
lease Of the Riggs Market would expire
in 1909. and that II at that time the prop
erty should be put 70 other uses then there
would be 10 market in the vicinity.
Judge Johnson then addressed the Com
=nissioners, pointing out the nuisance OF
the market in general and in resident
section particularly. He said that an aged
lady present had been driven from her
home near K Street Market, and that now
il was proposed to drive her from her new
home on Fourteenth Street. This was
mentioned as one Of the hardships en-
tailed by the location Of the market.
Judge johnson spoke at some length re-
garding the market facilities Of the city
and showed that a new one was not
needed. Judge Johnson also called atten-
ton 70 the fact that the regulations did
not compel the Commissioners TO grant
the permit even IL the conditions had been
complied with.
J.. Hilton Jackson, in presenting The case
Of those protesting against the market.
granted th2t the company had secured the
requisite number OF signatures in square
235, where the market was TO be located.
