A Judge and His Court.

From the London Chronicle.
The judge carries his court with him
wherever he goes. We have examples of
this from time to time. in England. such
as the court recently held in a cab by a
metropolitan magistrate. Or the case left
untried at Liverpool which was for the
convenience of judge and counsel argued

instance of Sir Lancelot Shadwell. the

and gave his decision and granted an In

and floating on his back. .

PLENTY Of LIGHT AND AIR
PROVISION FOR NEW HOUSE
SOON TO BE BUILT.
Colonial Treatment in Front and
American Basement - Another
Dwelling Of Unique Design.

house is to be built by DR.. John r.
Fillebrown on the north side of LIE Roy
place between Connecticut avenue and
Phelps place 1t will stand entirely de-
ia ched with lawns on all sides, the width
OF the lot permitting such a provision of
space, which is not usually possible in the
case of city homes. The plans, which
have been made by Marsh & Peter,
architects, utilize in the enlargement OF
the interior plan this opportunity to Sc
cure light and air from the sides as well
as from the front and the rear.
| The treatment of the front will be
colonial, and the entrance will be what
lis known as the Ameicsn basement. The
house will be arranged entirely for use
as home. as the offices of the owner
will be elsewhere.
Another Dwelling Projected.
The vacant ground at the southwest
corner of Connecticut avenue and Q
street is to be improved by the erection
of a dwelling by Mrs. Travers. the owner
of the property. The ground has an I'M
usual frontage on Connectlcu1 avenue.
but is rather shallow, especially at the
northern end, or the front on Q street.
| It is the intention of the architect of
the house which is to be built there,
Clarke waggaman. to utilize the entire
front and to arrange the rear Of the
house so that while 1t will be brought
| quite near to houses which are on the
abuttink lots to the west, the defect Is to
ha avoided Of having the windows OPEN
ing opposite to each other.
This is to be accomplished by having
all the openings on the west side OF the
house in projections facing away from
the AUDITING houses, and in this instance
opening to the south instead Of to the
west. The line of these projections will
be stepped back from the narrowest por-
ton Of the lot to the widest.
