Should he have no ambition to get ahead !?
Mr. Brown writes the public is in SYM

An older man who is retired for age has
had thirty years to accumulate a few dol

and retired from the force finds IL hard
to get employment In which he might

PASSES BILL
Question of Amphitheater for
Arlington Now Up to House.
COST PLACED AT $4,000
Building to Seat 5000 People and
to Contain Bodies of Dis
tinguished Men.

1t is now for the House to determine
whether or not memorial amphitheater,
to cost 100000. shall be built at the Ar
lington National cemetery. the Senate
yesterday afternoon having given its APP
proval to the bill directing the erection
of the building
Some objections to the bill have been
raised from time to time in the Senate,
but when Senator Sutherland, chairman
OF the Senate committee on public build
ings and grounds, and in charge Of the
measure, asked its passage yesterday aft
ernoon. not a protesting voice was heard
and the bill went through In the time it
took to put the routine motions
The construction work is to be under
the direction of commission composed
of the Secretary of War; the Secretary
OF the Navy. the superintendent Of the
Capitol and Ivory G. kimball, represent
ing the Grand Army of the Republic The
bill directs the commission to enter into
contracts for the building to cost not
more than $4,000, and the money is to
be provided In annual appropriation bills.
Building to Seat 5000 People.
The plans for the amphitheater were
prepared under the direction of a com
mission appointed by Congress several
years ago. They call for an amphitheater
that will seat about 5000 people and
afford standing room for many more in
the colonnade
Under the colonnade the architects have
planned for the placing of a crypt, in
which should be buried the distinguished
men Of the nation that merit special
hOnors. This feature Will raise the am
phitheater TO the dignity of a Westmin-
ster Abbey or a Pantheon. Under the
colOnnade and upon the base of the
building could be placed inscriptions
marking each separate crypt, while me-
mortal busts or portrait statues could be
placed in the colonnade somewhat as
has so frequently been done in the IA
nous campo santos of Europe.
In the amphitheater, by special direc-
ton in the bill, there will be provided a
chapel for the holding of funeral services
when the entire amphitheater is not used
And there will also be room where
trophy flags and other objects of interest
to visitors and appropriate for the GENE
tery can be exhibited
