While the free-and-easy American
might refer 10 the Chief Executive as

learn that his cousins across the water
indulge in similar familiar terms when
speaking OF their monarchs. In Great
Britain, and Germany especially, are
nicknames popular. and almost every
member Of the royal families. as well
as prominent men generally, have them.
His majesty Edward VII is frequent
ly referred to as "Edrex"-yery obvi-

OF the crown he was familiarIy known

.HIPPODRONE STAGE
WORLDS WONDER
One Of the Longest and
Best Equipped in
America.

The stage Of the Cleveland Hippo
drome is said TO be the best equipped
stage in the world. Each detail Of
the apparatus to be used in hippodrome
entertainment has been selected either
because il has been tried somewhere
else and approved or because 1t
represents an evolution or Improvement
upon something that has been tried else
where and found wanting.
The floor space Of the Cleveland stage
covers 1855 square feet When the
stage is raised upon an equal level with
the entrance floor it is lis feet 10 the
roof and 100 feet to the gridiron, con-
siderably higher than any other stage
in America and as high as any in the
world.
Beneath this floor is an immense tank
of water with a capacity of $4,000 al
lens. Half Of this tank reaches out
into the auditorium in a semi circle and
half way back under the stage. BY The
push OF an electric button the entire
stage or any part Of IL may be sub
merged in the tank to any desired depth
up 20 ten feet. BY a series of lights
the operator at any switchboard and
the performers at any place on the stage
are able to tell the exact depth OF the
water at any time during the perform
ance.
Many stages of the world have i'm
mense tanks into which floor space can
be submerged. None of them have ele-
yatOrs with the colossal lifting capacity
of the local hippodrome. The Cleve-
land stage Is divided into four sections
running from side TO side All Of these
can be filled high or plunged beneath
the water in the tank simultaneously
or one can be lifted, three plunged three
lifted and one plunged: TWO lifted and
two plunged etc. at any desired mo-
ment--Exchange

SOLDIER CLEARED
Of KILLING NATE
IN SELF-DEFENSE

The CorOner's jury which was called
to inquire into the death Of Private
Charles f. Stegan. Of the Washington
Barracks, this morning, acquitted Pri-
vate Charles A Simmons Of being re-
sponsible for his comrades death. The
jury was out less than five minutes
Six or seven witnesses to the fight in
which Stegall received the blow which
resulted in his death testified that it
was Stegall who first attacked simmons,
and that after being struck. the dead
man procured pair of brass 'knuckles"
and again attacked simmons. II was
then that Sin mons struck StegaH,
knocking him face downward against
the edge of an iron bunk. from which
blow Stegau died yesterday afternoon,
four days after being injured.
While II was impossible 10 find the
"knuckles' and produce them as evil
dence, II was established beyond a
doubt that they were used and without
prCvocation by the dead soldier. Even
the testimony given BY Private Charles
Carmack. who is now under sentence
for having assisted StegaN IN assault
ing simmons, showed clearly that the
latter acted only ii self-defense after
Stegau had attacked him with the
''knuCkles' and CaTmack had struck
Simmons over the head with a banjo.
Besides Assistant Surgeons Ashford
and WEBB, who attended the two men,
Mabel Costello, the twelve-year-old
daughter Of one Of the soldiers at the
barracks, and Capt f. J. Rooster,
testified. The little girl corroborated in
every detail the story told by Simmons.
and Captain Rooster testified as to thu
character OF the accused He spoke
very highly Of Simmons. saying that he
was q man who had an excellent rec
ord, and VINO was never known 10 en-
gage in brawls OF any kind
The Coroner gave q certificate Of JUS
tiGabie homicide

WASHINGTON STOCKS
SLOW AND STEADY
Washington Railway Firm
at ~ to 712-New York
ers After Control.

There was considerable activity IN
Washington Railway and Electric pre-
fefred on the local stock exchange, 20
shares being traded IT. at 7l1aQnA..
The ticket nominated by local inter-
ests to be baIIoted on at the annual
election carries the faith of local in
vestors and it is on the strength of
its election that higher prices have been
established. New York interests that
have misnanaged the property in the
past are opposed TO the changing OF
the control of this great public utility
from the chief city to the city wherein
IL is operated For this reason they are
seeking to obtain proxies TO oppose the
excellent local ticket placed in nomi-
nation.
As noted I'm this column yesterday,
LEGAL interests believe that the election
OF the ticket named would be the best
thing that could happen to the property,
assuring as It would, the friendship or
CAPITAL Traction interests, and advance
the cause of ultimate consolidation
a long way, but still within the posi-
bilities.
A small lot Of Capital Traction stock
sold a 10
washington Gas shares were offered
on Change this morning at 20. It is
probable that any offer over Ga would
have dislodged stock The chances or
the increased capitalization are not so
bright, and the insiders, while talking
confidently. must be a little less hope
full. as they are not buyers.
Today's bond market was steady.
There were few offerings OF Washing
ton Railway As, and the one bond sold
