Anyone who visits the Christjansted

one. 1t is simply ~scandaIous how the
people behave at the theatre; the shout

to drive one wild, although the faIlacy
is that one goes to the theatre for rest Of

courtship, Begun by Mail a
Year Ago, Ripens Into
Wedding.

The Intervening strands no.

afternoon in a picturesque and
happy wedding at the home of the
Rev. T. Z. Davis, 221 Eighth street
southwest. the Rev Davis officiat.
ing. when Joseph S. Key. seventy
years old, a civil war veteran. was
married to Mrs. Rose Dslburt. SIC

a years courtship by mail.
Key, who ran away to war in
1851 and later became chief bugler
on the staff of Bedford Forrest s
famous brigade. does not look his
age. He is hale and vigorous and
declares he feels like twenty-five.
Formerly with a circus. Key
toured the country as a musician
for several years. His last resi-.

Mrs. Dalburt is a native of Ten

ended yesterday afternoon at 5

Friction Between Landlords

Be Abating.

Brighter days for Washington
homeseekers are forecast by a con-
dition in the District Rent Commits.
sion which a headline writer would
be tempted to call peace orgy"
The evidences OF this condition
lie in the fact that landlords and
tenants have recently become NOR e
amenable to arbitration between
themselves, making 1t unnecessary
for the commission to take a hand.
Twenty dismissals of cases before
the rent board were reported today.
Some of these had been before the
commission for a long time. In all
Of them. however. either of the par.
ties took measures acceptable to the
other, indicating, after the long.
waged war between landlords and
tenants. that the millennium Is just
around the corner.
THE commission Is as we'll salts.

Secretary w. E. Chapman, THE
large number of dismissas show
that the commission has a great
moral effect upon the housing situa.
ton in Washington, as we'll as tan.
gible power. consider each one OF
these dismissals another feather In
the cap Of the commission"
1t was suggested that certain
cases were adjusted by private
settlement because the commission
sometimes goes too far in the merits
Of a complaint to suit the complain
ant or the party against whom the
complaint Is brought.

ABOUT FOLKS WE KNOW.

Stock in Mexican bandits went
down, 100 per cent when BRUCE
BIELASKI escaped from his cap
tors without paying that ransom.
So Senator TOM WATSON
dug Up that awful deal Of
GEORGE WASHINGTON in
swapping a slave for a whole
hogshead of rum, one hogshead
of molasses, other drinks and
sweetmeats. George referred to
booze as good old spirits" In
these days a fellow swaps a
weeks wages for small bottle
of cheap bootleg.
Come to think Of it, Mt. Yer.
non certainly was no place for
a gentleman without a thirst.
We don't know who will finally
become the patron saint of pro-
hibitionists, but since Tom has
exposed our first President, we
are sure that Washington will not
be the man.
"PUSSYFOOT" JOHN SON
has refused to travel on vessels
of the American Shipping Board,
which keep large stocks Of
liquors in steel safes until beyond
the three-mile limit, and we have
no doubt he will give Mt. Ver-
non a wide berth from now on.
JIMMY COX, of Ohio, has
gone to Europe with TIM ANS
BERRY, of this city, to learn
"the truth" about that part of the
world. He will spend an evening
chatting with Mr.. League Of Ma
tions.
Col. GEORGE BOW, personal
aid to SUN YAT SEN, has been
shot in both legs. When they
put the Bow in him they should
have put it in his legs.
