The recent fire at the Operetta Theater,
the Theater des Westerns. in Berlin, which
destroyed the whole proscenium, COM
polling the directors to close the building
for the whole of the coming season, has
prompted the Dusseldorf fire brigade to

also of discovering further means Of rem
dering theatrical buildings proof against

A small structure is to be set up on a
ground space measuring fifty feet by

feet and the proscenium forty feet high.
The main part of the building is to be
of steel and armored concrete. A spe-
cial entry allows accurate observation,
both in the front and rear. and two kinds
of fireproof curtains, one OF the usual
type, a drop curtain, and the other NOV
ing in halves horizontally. are to be fit

Seats are to be installed much on the
usual lines, with the intention of testing
several different processes for rendering
them fireproof Already program of no
fewer than q hundred experiments has
been drafted by the chief Of the fire bri-
gade.

GENEVA, September II, 1912.
The popularity of beer in Germany and
Austria is shown by the fact that even
dogs now sometimes take their pots of
the beverage. One Of these beer drinking
dogs has just been causing good deal of
excitement in d bierhalle. A rather ro-
tund-looking German came in one day
with a dog. and ordered "zwei crosse
helle'-two large mugs of light beer, one
for himself and one for the dog, which
sat up beside his master at the table,
and Tapped his beer as if to the manner
born.
After he had Tapped half of it, he
rested awhile. 1t then happened that
the waiter passed by that particular table
to remove an empty glass, and the dog.
thinking that the rest of his beer was
going to be taken from him before he
had finished it, flew at the waiter and bit
him on the nose SO badly that he had to
be taken to the hospital.

WOULD MAKE THE CITY
THREE TIMES AS LARGE
Effect of Annexation of Terri
tory Sought by Alex
andria.

The ambitions of the city of Alexan-
dria. Va. to expand into a greater Al
exandria. as expounded last week at
the hearing before Judge Bennett I.
Gordon, sitting in Alexandria, county
court house, would make a municipality
three times the present size in territorial
area and add a couple of thousand IN
habitants to its population.
There are S6S acres of Alexandria coun-
ty soil and 40 acres of land and $50
acres of water in Fairfax county that
greater Alexandra would annex. The
present city covers 713 acres, with pop
ulatien Of about 1900 persons.
The present city covers practically one
square mile, according to the United
States census. Nowhere i'm Virginia, out
side of Alexandria, is there a density OF
population of 1900 to the square mile.
At one period in the history of Alex
an6lria a charter granted by the state
legislature extended the city far beyond
present aspirations. At the request OF
THE city fathers the corporation bounds
were revised to confine the city within
the existing limits.
Expansion Not Opposed in Councils.
At the time the greater Alexandra
proposition was before the city councils
1t was passed with only five votes in op-
position in the twenty-four votes cast
OF the eighteen aldermen, three voted
against the plan; two of the eight votes
in the upper council were opposed.
This opposition. declare advocates OF
the proposition, does not represent ennity
to a greater Alexandria, but, on the con-
trary. entirely indicates sentiment for a
city of even greater area than the pro-
posed annexation would provide. All the
discussion in council, 1t is declared, was
around the question of how much terri
tory to annex, and not in opposition to
expansion; and the city councils decided
on the plan which proposed the annexa-
ton of the least territory.
Settlement Of Adjoining Territory.
The settlement Of the territory in Alex
andria and Fairfax counties upon which
the city has set envious eyes. 1t is
claimed, is largely overflow from Alexan-
dria, due to its crowded condition. In
the Alexandria county tract alone, it is
rccited 81 of 1.-THE 16J resident families
were formerly dwellers in Alexandria. Tn
the Fairfax county strip the proportion is
said to he even greater.
Alexandria city presented all its evil
dencc in support of it's plea for expan-
sion at the hearing last week Judge
Gordon adjourned court until Monday.
October Z. The counties of Alexandria
and Fairfax will then endeavor to show
why they should not be curtailed.

His daring was proverbal, his now

his character heroic. and his sagacity

rested two days, when Fremont re-
nawed his advance. EwelPs Division
was held Ia readiness at point called
Gross Keys, while Jackson's Division
was sent to meet Shields, who was
rapidly advancing on Port Republic.
On June 9th, Fremont attacked Ewell,
at Cross Keys. Ut was an unequal COM
bat, Fremont having about two to one.
However, the attack on Ewell's posi-
ton was repuised While he had been
pursuing him with great deal of Wig
or. he seems tor have lost his courage
when he arrived in front of his enemy.
He made no further attempt after the
first attack. Shields, in the meantime.
had advanced to within short distance
of Port Republic. On the 9th the enemy
made a cavalry d sh into Port Repub-
lic, but We're soon repulsed. The Fed
eral infantry had reached point about
mile and half below that rlace
called Lewis'a. Early in the morning
the Stonewall Brigade marched through
Port Republic and on towards Lewis's
to meet the enemy, This Brigade I'M
der General Wipder consisted Of about
1900 men and two batteries. 1t was fol-
lowed by the Louisiana Brigade under
General Taylor. The enemy had formed
his line from his left resting on the
bill at Lewis's house and extending
across to the Shenandoah river. The
Federals consisted Of two Brigades and
about sixteen guns, 1000 In all. Seven
of their guns were located on COM
mandlng position at the Lewis house,
the others scattered along the line.
General Winder, with four regiments,
1900 strong and two batteries made an
attack. The enemy, were commanded
by General Tyler, an excellent officer.
General Winder attempted to drive off
the batteries on the hill. In this he
was unsuccessful and the enemy ad-
vancing engaged him at close quarters.
The superior numbers of the enemy
succeeded in driving him hack. At
this time two Of Ewell's reg iments
came on the field and endeayored to
stem the tide. The 7th Louisiana also
came TO Winder's assistance. Jackson
finding the battle going against him,
sent General Taylor with his Brigade
TO attack the enemy's left at Lewis's
house. This he did in fine style, and
driving them off captured their Battery
Of seven guns. The enemy beat q
rapid retreat, pursued by Jackson's
men for seven or eight miles. He then
withdrew and took up his march for
Browns Gap.
