They saw two negroes goin the direction reported, and also saw a white man going in the direction of bis home. The eviored men are known to them as honest men, but the white citizen they never saw be- fore.” The ‘men go in one direction and the citizen im the opposite direction, They don’t even exchange compliments.

Chief Parris Wants New Companies in Different Parts of the City. Chief Parris, of the fire department, has made @ number of recommendations to the District Commissioners looking to better protection from fire. In his report just submitted he has made an estimate of $10,500 tor the building of an engine house in the southeast section of the city, the formation of a new company and its complete equipment. An engine company im that section of the city, located somewhere near the Wallach school building and Navy Yard market, be says, bas been needed for a number of years, and is now becoming an Urgent necessity om account of the rapid improvements made, not less than 1,023 build- ings baving been erected within the last two ears on Capitol Hill. No. 3 engine is the only company located east of North Capitol street, and the territory 1t has to protect ugalust fire is entirely too exiended, a aaeisl— @uce in cuse of fire, such as is forded to the central aud northwestern section of the city impossible. He estimates also for a double house aud a new truck company in the central Pprtion of the ity. the house to cost $1,600. le says: 1. That the house now occupied by engine company No. 2 is entirely unsuited for ‘@p egine Douse—tbe building is oid, its interior ‘4s weil @ sauilary arrangements are defective, @nd it bas no rear aiiey, so that all sup- piles, forage aud fuel ‘have to be taken turough the house, while the refuse has to be taken through the whole length of the house and out through front entrance. 2. That the location of # truck company in the centerof the city bas become # necessity on account of tue pumber of hotels, theaters, ium- ber yards, planing milis, livery stables and other iarge and inflammable buildings in that section. Iruck A company now answers all wlaruns 1a northeast, soutbe.st and southwest Washington and that partof the northwest Section south of U street north and 7th street West, terminating its boundary on the line of Pepusyivania avenue and 12th street north- West, While truck 8 com covers the whole oi West Washington.

It was witn deep interest thai he listened to Mr, Bancroft's miuuio and at time eritical de ‘scription of Talma’s style of acting.
