Georgia can boast q drummer
who probably isn't paralleled in
any other state. He travels for a
Savannah drygoods and notion
house, BUT he positively draws the
line at corsets and playing cards.
He will neither permit such things
in his sample case nor take orders
for them. Formerly this drum
mer was Oh the road for a Savan-
nah grocery firm, and at that
time he refused to sell liquors and
tobacco. Since he has been in
the service Of the drygoods con-
Germ he has been elected to the
legislature from one Of the inter-
Tor counties. AS legislator,
he received free passes ever some
Of the railroads. When he travels

Of the passes, but when he travels
to sell goods he pays his fare spot

The dining room, music hall and buffers

damaged by fire about II o'clock last night.
According to the police report the damage
amounts to about 500, 600, but it is believed
to be much less.

Mrs. Leger were about to retire when the
fire was discovered. One of the domestics

The blaze was discovered by a servant,
and in a few minutes thereafter the flames
were so fierce as to threaten the destruc-
ton of the entire building and contents.
Members of the fire department lost no
time in responding to the alarm, and by
hard work they succeeded in conf1ning the
flames to the lower floor, although the
house was filled with smoke and valuable
bric-a-brac and furniture were ruined. In

dogs running at large should be controlled
by regulations to be made by the Com
missioners from time to time as circum-
stances may require. Congress, if desira-
BILE, could at any time modify the regula-
tions'
II am of the opinion that the act Senate
1922 in view of the explicit and detailed
provisions of the act of Congress of June
10, 1875 will not enable the Commissioners
to control the whole subject, as desired by
the Senate committee. I think the object
could be attained by authorizing the Com
missioners to make regulations amendatory
to the act Of Congress Of June 10. 1875
and I have the honor to submit herewith
the draft of bill as substitute for SEN
ate 1902"
The substitute submitted is as follows:
THAT the Commissioners of the District of
Columbia be, and they are hereby, en-
powered to make regulations amendatory of
the act Of Congress approved June 10, 1878,
entitled An act to create revenue in the
District Of Columbia by levying a tax upon
all dogs therein, to make such dogs per-
sonal property, and for other purposes
and said Commissioners may prescribe and
enforce reasonable penalties for the VIOLA
tion of such regulations, and may also pre-
scribe redemption fees, not exceeding 81
for each dog for impounded dogs. Pro-
vided, that nothing in this act shall be held
to authorize the amendment or repeal of
the tax on dogs as now provided by law.

THE LAFAYETTE OPERA HOUSE.
Leased for a Term of Years by E. D.
Stair

Papers were signed yesterday by repre-
sentatives Of the Painter estate owning
the Lafayette Square Opera House. and
E. d. Stair, the theatrical manager and
promoter, whereby the latter secures long
lease of the Lafayette Theater property.
Mr. Stair has long had a cherished ambi-
ton to become the owner of other thea
ters in Washington besides the Academy of
Music and may in the near future take
over the Empire Theater, and add it to
his chain Of playhouses. Mr.. Stair now
owns or leases about forty-two theaters in
various sections of the country, including
the new Auditorium Theater in Philadel-
ph1a, one of the finest of the play houses
o. the east; the Auditorium Theater in
Baltimore. the two Wells houses in Nor
folk and Richmond, Va, the Walnut Street
Theater in Cincinnati and the Great North
ern In Chicago. All of these houses present
standard plays and attractions, some of
which never visit the capital city, and it
Is Mr.. Stairs intention to give Washing
ton theater-goers a taste of some Of the
Well-knoWn attractions and a sight Of some
OF the standard artists, such as Mr.. Robert
Mantell, for example, which has been de-
MED them for some time past. Mr.. Stair
Is an extensive booking agent as we'll as
being theater owner and manager, and
in this way is one of the most potent fac
tors IN the country with regard to popular
price houses.
1t is Mr.. Stairs intention to run standard
attractions at the Lafayette Square Opera
House at prices which, while not reaching
the top notch, will be above the average
OF prices prevailing at so-called popular
priced houses. AS indicated above this in
cludes number Of romantic and emotional
plays which have not been seen in Wash
ington for number of years, and variety
Of musical attractions which have had
vogue in the north and west, but which
do not get the opportunity to visit Wash
ington.
No action has been taken with regard to
the local management of the house and
nothing has been done with regard to
| change of the name Of the theater. Mr.
Stairs plans will probably not go into ef-
| feet until next season so that the change
| in the proprietorship need not affect the
| plans of the Bellows Stock Company for
| the remainder Of this season. That COM
| pany will in all probability continue as
usual, according to its original plans.
The possibility Of Mr.. Stairs obtaining
| control Of the Empire Theater and devoting
! 1t to the ten, twenty and thirty" at
| fractions has been discussed At the Acad-
| emy the same scale Of prices and the same
quality of shows that obtain there now will
| probably prevail in the future, as the book
| ings for the Lafayette Theater will not in
any way, interfere with the former play
| house. Mr.. Stair will have battery of
| playhouses in Washington, which will go
| a great ways toward satisfying the de-
| mands Of the theater-going public of the
| capital city.
