Gen. Bixby. chief Of engineers, the Sec
Rotary Of War has denied the application
Of tho Georgetown Gas Light Company
for parmiasion to hay q gas main along
the Conduit road, from Foxhall road to
the Chain Bridge road.
In explanation Of his action the secre-
tary said he doubted his authority to
grant the permission requested in the alb
sence Of specific legislation. He added
that he would not favor the enactment
of such legislation for the reason that
the frequent tearing up of the road. such
as would be necessary In laying and re-
pairing the main. would be destructive to
the road, and might prove a menace to
the aqueduct itself.

last night at the Be1asco with q roaring
farce. William Gdllette's Because She
Loved Him So.'' ana the large audience
laughed and applauded its way to the end
Of the performance.
To attempt to take the play seriously is
out Of the question, notwithstanding the
suspicious wives. The situations are too
ludicrous and much Of the action too
closely related to horse-play. But the
Butterfield Players made an amusing per-
formance of it. warranted to bring q
laugh and to send away tho laugher feel

A part which was made to stand out in
the performance was that Of Margaret,

was applauded again and again. Walter
Wilson. as John Weatherby. father Of
Gertrude West, and Anna L. Bates as
Mrs. Weatherby, carried q large part of

more terrible than the domesticity Of the
German. II only he could be persuaded
to leave his wife at home! Think how

doubt, lonely feeling, q feeling Of senti-
ment would overpower him. and the va
