MANY COMPLAINTS OVER
SCHOOL HOUSE PLASTER

Chip Of, Leaving Walls in
Unsightly Condition.

A good deal of trouble has been ex-
perienced in school houses and other
buildings belonging to the municipality
from defective pias;er These build
ings are all erected under contract, and
the plastering is frequently put on in
the winter and subjected to freezing be-
fore it is thoroughly dry. AS a result, il
cracks badly and shows tendency to
chip of. leaving the walls and ceilings
in an unsightly condition.
After careful consideration of The mat
ter the Commissioners have determined
TO insert the following clause in con-
tracts for municipal buildings here
after:
The Commissioners reserve the right
to order contractors to suspend any
work that may be damaged by inclem-
ency OF weather and work involving the
use OF cement and plaster will not be
permitted during freezing weather and
the periods and stages of the work as
herein specified win be extended for the
same space OF time as it may be sus-
pended by the Commissioners for the
reasons aforesaid"

EXCITED BY CIGARETTE.
Audience at Columbia Came Near Being
Panic Stricken Last Evening.

An unfortunate incident at the Co
lumbia Theater last evening in the
midst of the first act almost precipi-
tated panic among the persons in the
audience. pretty little scene was
being enacted between Miss Haswell and
Miss Paget, when some one in the first
balcony cried fire and there was an
immediate scramble to get out. Cool
heads, however, assured the excited peo-
pie that there was no danger, and Miss
Haswell stepped forward, and in cain
voice entreated the audience not to get
excited Order was soon restored, and
the play proceeded.
The cause of the excitement was a
lighted cigarette that had been carried
into the theater by lady's trailing
skirt, and when it began TO smoke, some
nervous person cried fire. The Incl
dent interrupted the play only for few
moments.

CITY HALL RENOVATED
AND GREATLY IMP R0VED
Changes Made in Vacation Time and on
Holidays-Repairs Were
General.

The work of repairing and renovating
the City Hall is practically completed
There are still few touches to be put
on here ana there, but aside from this
all the improvements contemplated at
this. time have been made.
The result OF this work is that the
old building has q much more habitable
appearance than II had at the close OF
the spring session of the Supreme Court
OF the District. This is daily being
remarked by attorneys who visit the
hall on business. To facilitate the
work OF the court, and also that OF
the clerk of the Supreme Court OF The
District, the repairing had TO be done
between times"-rhat is, when tho
court was not in session, and in the
clerks Office on the Saturday half holi-
days. In this way business was not
interfered with, and no one inconven-
fenced.
The work was done under the direc-
tion of Mr.. Elliott Wood, the supervis-
ing architect at the Capitol, and under
the supervision of MIR. Hutchinson, SUI
perintendent and engineer at the City
Hall. The work consisted of repairs
and improvements in all parts of the
building, except in the offices of tho
Recorder OF Deeds, and the Register of
Wills. Attention will be given TO
these later.
The walls and ceilings in all the
court rooms were painted and linoleum
placed on the floors OF circuit court
rooms No. / and No. ., and also on
no floors nj the antprapmS and the
bailiffs' rooms connected with these. Ii
criminal court room No. J.. the tempor-
ary floor placed in the rear or ives
half OF the room during the Bonine trial
has been removed and a substantial
floor laid instead.
One OF the most important improve
ments was the laying OF an underground
cable by the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company, through the air.
duct, connecting with all the phones in
the City Hall. When this work Is
completed. all the overhead wires OF
the building will be removed.
