ERECTION OF STANDS.
Rules Governing Applicants for Priv
iIege Encampment Week


T. Bohrer Crow of 907 1 street northwest
has written to the District Commissioners
asking permission to erect a stand on
Pennsylvania avenue during the week Of
the encampment Of the. Grand Army for
the demonstration and sale of article in
referred to the Inspector of buildings, and
he has reported as follows:
In accordance with section Of the
joint resolution of Congress, approved June
80, 1902, giving authority to the Commits
sioners for special regulations on the occa-
of the G. A. r., l would recommend that
the writer be advised that it will be neces-
sary to prepare plans and designs for the
proposed stand and submit the same to the
citizens executive committee for recon-
mendation to the architect OF the Capitol
superintendent of CapitoD, and the officer
in charge of public buildings and grounds
and the inspector of buildings for ap-
proval
''On the occasion of inaugural ceremonies
and former reunions no privileges of this
kind have been favorably considered, except
on the recommendation of the executive
committee or the con mittee on parks and
stands. This course has been adhered to in
order to attain uniformity of design and
prevent disfigurement of the public streets
this Office after plans are approved, as
provided in the section referred to-"
1t will thus be seen that any stands to be
erected during the encampment must be
ornamental in desi ign and must be strongly
recommended.

The Elder Sothern's Tact.
rom the Century,


It was in the year 1863 or 1864. During
the summer months Sothern, with John. T.
Raymond and several other well-known ac-
tors. occupied the local theater Of a seaside
summer resort, to which he and his COM
pany drew houseful of people several
nights In the week to hear and see them
act-rehearse it really was in preparation
for their next winters New York season
the most important of Shakespeare's plays.
The little building had, Of course, a gal
lery. and in the gallery the gods became
so obstreperous on occasions that it was
with great diff Guilty the play could be pro-
ceeded with. The rfngleader, a well-known
rough OF the town, was man named Bill
Hanrahan. One night a happy inspiration
seized Sothern. Having learned the name
of this prominent member Of the rowdy ele-
ment. he addressed him, in the midst of the
most unearthly noises, as follows: Mr..
Hanrahan. will you be good enough to take
charge Of the gallery and keep order for
me- and I shall feel very grateful" The
result was magical. "Bill'' became at once
an official Of the theater, and as such
cracked the heads Of few Of his erstwhiie
fellow-rioterss with such good effect that 1t
was only a little time before, the best OF
order prevailed.

PUZZLES FOR JUDGES.
Cases Brought to Standstill by Col
loquia1 Expressions.
From London Answers.

From LONDON Answers
In a. case that came before famous lord
justice some time ago the counsel for the
prosecution in the evidence had to mention
a "blouse"
The Judge explained what blouse was.
and it was explained that this was part of
a lady's dress. But the case came to a
dead stop for the time, for the Judge did
not Know what part, and after some hesi-
tation the barrister admitted that he wasn't
sure. Several learned brothers gave their
opinions, some opining a blouse was the
upper half of lady's costume, while others
insisted it must be the lower half. The en-
tire court, filled with learned celebrities
whose heads held all the laws Of Britain,
from pitch and toss to manslaughter, ar
gued it out, but nobody was sure The
judge thought 1t was the lower half, but a
junior barrister who had lately been mar
ried said he thought that that half was
called a skirt, bat did not feel certain. At
length a lady was called. who set the court
right.
Another odd dilemma happened not long
ago when in the Hobson horse taking
case the word ."fetIock,' arose "A fetlock,
as everybody knows, is the ankle of a
horse. The court asked what 1t was. how
ever, and the prosecuting counsel was nom
plusSed. The witnesses were out of court
save one, and he knew nothing. The judge
thought fetlock was a sort of hind knee,
otherwise hook" but one learned brother
was quite certain 1t was the lock of hair
that hangs over a horses foreh ad. The
defendants solicitor opined it was, that
part of the harness which slips over the
tail. the crupper. and another legal celeb
rity agreed with the judge Finally the
court had to caH a stable groom to clear up
the mystery.
