The commissioners do not favor per
petuation of the illumlnations installed
on Pennsylvania avenue for the in
augural ceremonies, as suggested by
committee Of the chamber of com
merce. In fact, the. overhead wires
could not be maintained without a spe-
cial authorization from congress.
The District heads will submit their
plans for the permanent lighting OF
this thoroughfare to the chamber Of
commerce committee which is to con-
slider the matter at meeting tomor-
row.
These plans call for the substitution
Of H. 1,500-candlepower lamps for the 700
candlepower lamps now in use, which
will BE- an increase of 100 per cent. in
the light unit. and the installation Of
double the number Of lamps en-

of illumination furnished the street.
At present there are seventy-eight TOO

It is not expected that the installa-

There is a possibility that both

In accordance with the recent act Of
congress changing the name of Six

COLUMNS LOST TO CAPITAL
Historic Adornments Formerly Lining
Side Of the Treasury Go TO
New Orleans.

After hajnR lain for more than
two years on one of the national cap
itals vacant lots, neglected and for
gotten, the twenty-nine historic col-
umns, whose removal from the east
front of the treasury building by For
mer Secretary MacVeagh caused ma
tion-wide indignation, have come into
their own once more and will add
their stately grace to the ornamental
ton of New Orleans, the queen city of
the south
Senator Broussard of Louisiana has
purchased the colunsps from the con-
tractor, who found them a white ele-
phant upon has hands, and has pre-
sented them to the Crescent City.
Mayor Berhman, who was in the city
for the Inauguration, accepted the gift
on behalf Of the city, and made ar
rangements for their transportation to
New Orleans
Senator .Broussard obtained permis-
sion from George o. Totten, Jr., the
local architect, who won the competi-
tive prize for the most beautiful and
artistic arrangement of the twenty
nine columns offered by the Fine Arts
commission. The columns will be
erected in the New Orleans public
park, according to Mr.. Totten's de-
sign. Senator Broussard has for a
long time been anxious to purchase
the columns, but could not agree on
price with the contractor While
the purchase price is not known. it Is
understood that the contractor realiz-
ed tidy little sum in the sale of the
columns
Immediately after the removal OF
the columns an effort was made by a
number of patriotic societies and citi-
zens' associations to purchase the col
umns and place them In Rock Creek
park. Sufficient funds could not be
raised and interest dwindled until the
columns were entirely forgotten.
Since their removal they have lain on
a vacant lot exposed to the elements
and entirely forgotten by the people
Of the district.

WANT SAFETY FOR JEWELS
Theft Amounting to 100000 Has
Aroused the Anxiety Of New
York Dealers.

New York.-As q result of the re-
cent 100000 gem robbery, the great
est in many years, dealers In precious
stones here have been taking stock of
the defenses which safeguard the
S5o0,000,000 worth OF gems in the
Maiden lane district. In consequences
the public now has a better under
standing than ever before Of the won
derful system which protects this
treasure against theft.
Each Maiden lane concern under
electrical protection is assigned box
in which Is deposited sealed en-.
velope containing key to the Office
and the signature of those authorized
to open the safe. When an alarm is
sounded and the key removed to gain
entrance to the Office record Is made
and the key is again sealed by the pro-
prietor or sole authorized agent.
A report is also submitted each
week showing when the signal for
opening and closing the safe was re-
ceived, with additional data as the case
requires. Thus it is seen that the
burglar meets obstacles which are al
most impossible to overcome. By day
the protection of the Maiden lane dis
trict is none the less strict, and sell
dom Is it that even the most clever
crooks dare to venture into the section

SHIPS UNIQUE TRIP

was experienced on New Years day.
The vessel was roaring along on the
edge of a hurricane. The wind from
the northwest was blowing rs miles an
hour. Rain came down in sheets and
the crash of thunder sounded like a
battery of heavy artillery in action.
Lightning flashed from the skies at
frequent intervals. One bolt struck
the main skysatl yard and leaped in
bounds from it to the upper forcsail.
to the lower foresail and then to the
crossjack yard, which 1t snapped off.
Second Mate William swater was
standing beneath the mainmast. Near
by stood Augustus Rose, and cabin
boy Fred Hart was passing with a
tray of food. The pipe which Swater
was smoking was broken off at the
stem by the lightning. Roses wood
en- leg was shattered and the tray Of
food was tossed into the sea. A pine
log about IS feet In length and about
Is inches euuzfsrs WIS split In half as
though by saw.
The last hurricane of the ToyageaDn
January 80, tore away every sail. The
vessel sprung a leak just above the
water line.
The Aryan was constructed 20 years
ago at Phippsburg, Ne. She will prob
ably be the last ship from this port to
make the voyage around the Horn, as
the opening of the Panama canal will
sound the deathknelI of such trips.

There Will Be Little Necessity
fer Long and Dangerous Trip
Around the Horn.

Philadelphia.-The three-masted full
rigged ship Aryan, the last wooden
ship OF her type to be constructed IN
this country, and one OF the few at
present under the American flag, has
arrived here from Fort Blakely,
Wash, after thrilling voyage Of $50
days, in which she rounded Cape Horn.
The vessels arrival recalled the glori-
GUS days of the clipper ship. when the
fearless American skipper and his
crews made the stars and stripes gu
preme On tfe seven seas.
More than ordinary interest was at-
tached to the vessels arrival because
OF these features and because she
carried a cargo Of 100000 feet of
Oregon pine, the first to be received
here In Is years. The timber, some OF
It 80 feet in length and nearly two
feet square, was packed solidly aboard
the ship. Nearly 10000 feet OF II was
stacked on the deck.
Capt. James McLachin, the captain,
said the voyage was uneventful, but
the log book told different story
Two winters and three summers were
met on the voyage, with four hurri"
canes thrown in for good measure.
Lightning played It's pranks on one oc-
casion. A mirage was seen, st. Elmo's
fire Illuminated the ship, and at times
she sailed through the lurid glare OF
seas lit with phosphorescence. A
young shark was captured and his tail
was attached to the bowsprit for good
luck.
The vessel began her long trip at
eight o'clock on the morning of Octo-
Ger 20. About twelve hours later she
struck a gale, which tore off the outer
bobstays On the next day the fore
upper topsail was carried away.
Nature sent the crew a Christmas
present when they were IS days out.
1t came in the form of mirage OF a
beaaEful tropical island. Everything
on it was plainly visible. Despite the
coolness of the weather at the time,
some of the seamen say they even felt
the warm wind that must have been
blowing over the spot.

NOT SUPREME COURT LITURGY
"Draw Nigh and Give Attention
to Business"

"AIl persons having business before
the Supreme court are admonished to
draw nigh and give their attention to
business" shouted the crier of the
highest judicial tribunal in this coun-
try the other day, the "to business
being superfluous and not Supreme
court liturgy.
The fact of Chief Justice White ex-
panded into an elongated full moon
and the associates laughed outright.
The spectators were on the verge Of
letting forth roar Of laughter.
The worst was yet to come, when
the crier invoked the divine blessing
on the Supreme court. instead OF the
United States and this honorable
court" This increased the general hi
larity and the dignified marshal was
compelled to thump the mahogany
desk with his official fist until order
was restored.

court crier, has repeated his litany
without error. Today he was un-
nerved or ratified" In any event his

persons to get busy, instead Of admon-
ishing them to give attention.

ciates audibly snickered, Crier Green 8
face became vivid red, with pur-
pie coloring at the top of his head.
Big drops of perspiration slipped down
into his eyes
In attempting to save the country
and court, Crier Green became more
entangled. He made several efforts
to repeat the formula, finally placing
the court first and then with an i'm

the past quarter century.

the most suspicious conditions, has
been made during disturbed and un-

suspicion and distrust upon all Euro
