SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Fickle Audience.
An orator in accents proud,
Exclaimed, "Behold, get the crowd"
Then suddenly to his dismay,
His auditors had turned away!
There had arisen some new cause
For laughter and for loud applause
An organ grinder came along
And hypnotized the listening throng.

Representative Dyer. of Missouri,
introduced a resolution in the House

Several members OF the House Dis

ported fayorably.
Representative Hammer. Of North

stated that he was heartily in favor Of
allowing the children between the ages
stipulated in the bin, to ride for half
fare.
That section Of the measure dealing
with children attending schools pro-

shall accrue to the school children
only during the time that the

OF Residents.

Alley dwellings and washington's
$500 jewellers in alleys were dis
cussed last night at the first fall
meeting of the Monday Evening
Club, held in the assembly hall of
the Cosmos Club. The consensus of
opinion expressed favored the delay
asked by the District Commission
ers in putting the condemnation
into final effect, the reason being
that alley houses in Washington are
rapidly decreasing from natural
causes. chief among which is the
demand for alley garages.
There are today in Washing
ton," said A. s. J. Atkinson, in
spector for the board of condem-
nation, "227 inhabited alleys. OF
that number 1873 are thirty feet in
width and 9S are less than thirty
feet wide. There are $500 people
living in alleys, all but 500 OF whom
are colored.
Divided into districts, the North
west has 5,572 alley jewellers. the
Southwest 1,735, the Northeast 1883,
and the Southeast $780,"
Mr.. Atkinson attributed the origin
of the alley house to the demand
of the householder for his cook to

breakfast.

City Surveyor NJ. C Hazen offered

well be made into 30-foot minor
streets. He urged that excess con-
be permitted and some
relief be found for the present I'M
workable method Of charging the
total cost of condemnation to the
AUDITING property. Provision, also,
he said, for moving some houses
back rather than condemning them
should be made.
John Ihlder, chairman of the
housing section of the United States
Chamber. of Commerce, asked for
the name OF the owners and the
places of the houses. Ihlder mini
mixed the danger of alley homes
and urged hiss heaters to look into
the conditions into which. the alley
jewellers move.
Deiay q beneuts
Maj. Carey H. Brown, assistant
Engineer Commissioner, declared
that the delay in carrying out the
alley dwelling law was a good
thing. They were being gradually
by the demand for ga
RACES and by the resumption of
house building which is now no.
ticeable. They will be further
taken care Of, he said, by opening
a number of alleys to connect with
the streets, thus making them into
minor streets

Five Reeommendations.
The committee unanimously
adopted these recommended ons:
l. A new central police station,
separate from the District Building,
where all business and branches of

Instead Of being scattered as now
m many floors and in Railways.
2. A new police station at Seven
zenith street and Rhode Island av-
snue northeast The ground has
been bought but the $4,000 appro-
prtated Is regarded as insufficient.
B. Better pay for policemen. Rec
ommendation that Congress put
hem on an equality with the police
men Of other cities of this size.
4. More police. also a separate
,orce for trafic work responsible to
I central authority, such as a cap
ain or an Inspector, and not az now
20 the precinct captain.
5. One day Of In seven. A police
nan now works every day in the
week with but twenty days leave a
rear. must go to court to appear
against his prisoners on his own
lime, and in addition to his regular
Ih'ft must do reserve duty, waiting
