Under Canvas Will
Soon Have Quarters.

The new double set of barracks, in
process of erection at Fort Washington,
Md, for several months, will be COM
pleted this week and will be turned
over to the army authorities by the con-
tractors
The new building is a fine two-story
brick structure modern in all particu-
lars and fitted up for the comfort and
convenience of the coast artillerymen
who will be quartered in it.
The army officials have been waiting for
the completion of this barracks building
in order to increase the number of COM
panies of coast artillery at Fort WASH
ington. There is now at Fort Monroe
company of artillery that have been
living under canvas for several months.

is said, these troops will be ordered to
Fort Washington to fill out the garrison
there.
The new barracks will be assigned as
quarters for one of the companies now
stationed at Fort Washington. The men
at Fort Monroe will take the building
vacated when they arrive at the Potomac
fort. New contracts for several new
buildings to be erected at Fort Washing
ton have been awarded to contractors here

The audience at Chase's last evening

sensations were especially enjoyed.
His knowledge of makeup and the

are remarkable. Clarice Mayne sings
well, has a good stage presence and
possesses the faculty of never tirlng

made much laughter. Ruth Allen as an
American newspaper woman in London,
surrounded by group of London

PRovoKEs LONG DISCUSSION.
Bill to Create Municipal Court
Called Up in House.

Yesterday was District day in the House
and the first bill called UP by Chairman
Smith of the District committee provoked
discussion that lasted more than two
hours. 1t was the measure to change the
name and Jurisdiction of justice of the
peace courts in the District to the mu-
nicipal court of the District and to bring
the six justices together under one roof
Represent alive Sims of Tennessee SEN
ior democratic member of the House Dis
trict committee. opposed the bill in its
present form. He said it should be chang
ed as to increase the exclusive juris-
diction of a justice to cases involving
81 600 at least, and the concurrent juris-
diction accordingly. Further he did not
thing the consolidation idea a good one, as
a justice of the peace is supposed to hold
the court at a point in his district most
convenient to the people. He thought if it
were intended TO create another court in
the District that the court might as we'll
be good one and worthy of the name.
Among the other members who par
ticipated in the discussion were Repre-
sentatives Fitzgerald of New York. Dris-
coll of New York. Mann of Illinois and
Stafford of Wisconsin.

MUNICIPAL UeLlNEss is SINFUL

This is what those who stand for
civic beauty, say with reference to
the appearance of a city.
So long as the heart of Norwich re-
mains as 1t is today we shall have to
confess to being In the sinful class.
Baltimore has Municipal Art soci-
ETY. that has in hand plans for beauti-
flying that city at an expense Of three
millions, and they are going to ask
the taxpayers to bond the city for that
amount to make it permanently beau
tiful and attractive and explaining
what this means the Baltimore Amer
lean says:
"Civic beauty means health. Waste
places must go, breathing spots be
provided, streets widened and crook
ed places made straight. Baltimore
has been a long time joining the
movement for civic beauty, but now
start has been made in the right d.
rection, and Mayor Mahool and the
Municipal Art society can rest assured
OF the support of all public spirited
citizens"
1t is likely that the future will see
Franklin square glorifled with modern
buildings. and how would 6O-foot of
60-foot business street look, running
diagonally from the center of the
square to City? 1t will cost
money to do it. but the cities in the
CITY Beautiful" class say that it is
worth to g. city all that itbcosts.

How the photograph acts as foster
mother to New York baby is told
by The Sun. The baby is two years
old and has acquired the habit of GO
ing to sleep to the music of its real
mothers voice. The real mother is
somewhat past forty and her voice is
not what it used to be. 1t broke re-
Gently and it's lack of melody so graf
ed on the sensitive musical temporal
ment of the baby that the mother
found it difficult to put her to sleep.
About this time the father bought a
photograph with a disk containing a
lullaby by one of the. best singtrs in
vaudeville. One evening while the.
mother was rocking the little one the
father turned on the lullaby. The child
went to sleep almost Immediately. The
next night the voice OF the mother was
silent and the baby went swiftly to
sleep again to the music Of the horn.
