TWO KINDS OF JUSTICE.

II was announced In Richmond on
Monday last that the Governor had
pardoned w. NJ. Allen. former super
tntendent of the Manchester aims
house and keeper OF the town GENE
terry, who was convicted some
months ago for misappropviation OF
public funds.
A jury sentenced Allen to serve
five years In the penitentiary.
Among those who recommended
clemency In the case Of Allen. the
name OF no juror who sat upon the
case appeared in the news item Of
Monday d. afternoon announcing the
granting OF the pardon.

Court yesterday to two OF three

There Is something shocking to

Trees Beaten Down bv Storm.

The heavy squalls of wind and rain
which have swept across the Potomac
during the past ten days have done much
damage to the trees lining the river shore
from the steel plant pier to Shepherds.
AT one point a short distance from the
naval powder maya zine pier. a swath
has been cut through the trees and
shrubbery on the river bank The few
trees left standing show in broken limbs
the force OF the gale that swept over
them.
One big. old tree which had been stand
ing on the bank ever since the oldest
navfgafors can remember and several
years prior to that was blown UP by the
roots and lies PROSTATE on the bank with
its leaves drying and falling. Five or six
other big trees We're also blown down by
this gale.
The path of the storm was but about
100 yards vide. but it did execution. The
ferry steamer Lackawanna, on her way
10 Alexandria. passed through the path
Of the storm. and had a heavy life raft
lifted from her deck by the force of the
wind and carried overheard. 1t was later
recovered by the police boat and repla ced
on the steamer.

SIGN AND GET MONEY.
New Method Followed in Paying g.
p. o. EMPLOYEES.

Public Printer Leech has made a change
In the method Of paying employees of the
government printing Office, whereby the
envelope is delivered at the same time the
pay roll is signed by each Individual Sew
eral weeks ago the controller Of the
Treasury called the public printers at
tention to a violation Of the department
regulations requiring simultaneous ex-
change of the money and receipt from the
employee, and it is believed the present
scheme will obviate objections.
The timekeepers make up the rolls as
usual for each pay period. and after the
cashier and his assistants have filed the
envelopes they are sent to the division
foremen. together with the completed
rolls for signature. Each worker is called
to the desk in routine and the pay envel-
ope delivered as, soon as the roll Is
signed, thus covefing the requirement of
the Treasury for simultaneous delivery
and receipt.
The latest regulations were the result of
Investigations by the Keep commission
and were compiled In most instances by
requiring employees of the various depart
ments to visit the paymaster's Office. sign
the pay roll and receive their money 1t
is said that 1t would be impractical for
the 1900 workers in the government
printing office to visit the cashier. hence
the devising of the scheme Of payment by
the division foremen.

THE THEAT Err.

Bohemian Girl" at the National.
The largest Monday night attendance
of the summer season witnessed Bale s
Bohemian Girl at the New National
Theater last night. The Aborn Opera
Company was never in better form, and
the continued applause indicated a rec
ord-breaking attendance for the week.
This, together with the fact that We'd
nesday night will be the hundredth con-
secuttve performance of the company in
this city, will make the week a memo
rable one.
THE Bohemian Girl is perhaps the
most entertaining and enjoyable Of the
operas presented by the Aborn company
this season. Probably no musical COM
position for the stage contains SO many
gems Of melody. For three generations
the songs Of the gifted Irishman have
charmed. They have become classics in
somuch as they furnish the highest ex-
amples of their class, and will continue
to furnish enjoyment as long as the me-
lodiously sentimental finds a place in the
hearts of the theatergoers
The cast in last nights opera was well
selected The principals were excellent
and were well supported by the chorus
The cast Is so evenly balanced as hardly
to call for a comparative criticism al
though from a dramatic standpoint Miss
Edith Bradford. as the gypsy queen, is
perhaps entitled to the honors. She fills
the role admirably.
Miss Blanche Morrison, as Airline. scored
a success. She has a beautiful soprano
voice. and accepted her part with conf
denoe. Her rendering of II Dreamt That
/ Dwelt in Marble Halls brought forth
from the audience hearty applause.
Every one Of the principals was so we'll
versed in his part that a word for all is a
to each.

CITY TO BE NOISELESS
MAJ. SYLVESTER TO WORK FOB
MODEL WASHINGTON.

An endeavor is to be made by the police
department to make Washington a noise
less CITY,
While the health officer Is busily en-
gagged making this city a "spotless town.
the superintendent of police department
announces that he is to war on loud
noises.
Many noises that are really annoying
other noises which can be suppressed
and Maj. Sylvester is printing himself
and his subordinates to bring about this
reform.
Commissioner West. who has supervision
of the police department. when he learn
ed Of Maj. Sylvester's proposed ban on
noises. said he heartily approved of it..
and that much public good could be ac-
complished by such crusade.
Gen. Bingham. head of the New York
police Mr.. West said, rs engaged in
whooping things UP in that city. When
he goes about anything he goes about 1t
in the right way and with vim and
earnestness that generally results sue
cessfully.
Commissioner mcfarland. when asked
about the proposed move on the part of
the superintendent of police. said:
1T is a good idea, and for that rea-
son 1t is embodied In the pollce regula-
lions and is and should be enforced at
all times. The idea is by no means new
or original.
For the past eight years I have been
in hearty accord with all attempts to
eliminate unnecessary noises. Unfortu-
nately there are some noises that are In
separab1e from civilization and will new
er be eliminated. But l am glad to learn
that the police department is going to
show some activity in this respect
The superintendent Of police Is particu-
larly anxious to do away with noises
made by street cars especially during the
midnight hours In this respect he be-
lieyes that much noise is caused by de-
fectiye mechanism on the cars run in this
city, which defects could and should be
remedied.
What he believes could be easily abated
in connection with the noises made by
street cars are the loose running gears.
fiat wheels and dislocated joints He con-
tends that if the local traction companies
put on better rolling stock a much more
satisfactory condition would prevail
