Authority to Establish Lines on Thoroughfares Less Than Ninety Feet in Width—The Bill. * The District Commissioners have for- warded to the chairman of each District committee in Congress a draft of a bill to provide for the establishment of building lines on certain streets in the District of Columbia, and recommend early and fa- vorable action thereon. The Commissioners explain that during past years, on a number of occasions, citi- zens of the®District have desired to estab- lish building hnes upon some of the narrow Streets where the lots were deep. It is evi- dent, the Commissioners believe, that, with- out compulsory legislation, where one or two residents in a block refuse to accede to such building lines, the efforts of the remaining property owners are in vain, since it is necessary that all the buildings in one square should be on one line. Hence in a number of instances efforts made by owners to estabiish building lines have proved abortive through the lack of co- operation of one person. On a number of streets in the northwest section of the city, they add, building lines have been established along ‘a portion of a_ street by the concurrence of the land own- ers, and the streets, though narrow, pre- sent a handsome appearance, with ample width of roadway, sidewalk and parking, while a few squares further along, where the property owners did not establish such line, the appearance of the street and its sanitary condition is badly marred. The bill submitted is designed to remedy this condition of affairs. As a general rule, where lots are deep, it is believed, say the Commissioners, that the establishment of the building line would work no hardship to the land owners. But there are instances of corner lots! they say, where the establishment of building lines on two streets abutting would take away so much of the land as to render the remainder of the lot unavailable for build- ing purposes, and in such cases the owner of said lots should receive compensation. They believe the bill 1s a desirable one and that its operation would be attended by no cost to the District of Columbia or to the United States. Provisions of the Bill. The bill is as follows: “Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled: That the Commissioners of the District of Columbia are hereby authorized to establish building lines on streets or parts of streets less than ninety feet wide in the District of Colum- bia upon the presentation to them of a plat of the street or a portion of the street upon which such action is desired, showing the lots and the names of the record owners thereof and accompanied by a petition of the owners of one-half of the real estate shown on said plat requesting that build- ing lines be established, or when said Com- missioners shall certify that public health, comfort or convenience requires that such building lines be established. ““Section 2. That upon the filing of such plat and petition in the office of said Com- missioners, or when said Commissioners shall certify that public health, comfort or convenience require that such building lines be established, said Commissioners shall make application in writing to the United States marshal for the District of Columbia to summon and impanel a jury of twelve citizens, who have no interest in the real estate mentioned in the petition (and it is hereby made his duty to summon and impanel the same in all such cases upon application in writing of said Com- missioners), who, after first taking and subscribing an oath in writing to discharge the duties imposed upon them by the pro- visions of this act justly and impartially, shall preceed to ascertain and appraise the damages which may accrue to the real es- tate of any person or persons by the estab- lishment of said building lines, which shall be the value of the land ut the time of the ing. and the said jury shall make and return their verdict in triplicate, one orig- inal to be filed in the office of the said Com- missfoners, one in the office of the recorder of deeds of said District, and one in the office of the surveyor of the said Distric And the damages awarded by said jury shall be payable out of any funds available for opening, widening and extending alleys, urder the act approved March 3. 1893, en- titled “An act making appropriations to supply deficiehcies in the appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1893, and for prior years, and for other purposes.’ Jury to Apportion Damages. “Section 8. That the sald jury shall ap- portion an amount equal to the amount of said damages, ascertained and appraised as aforesaid, including the fees of the mar- shal for his services, and $60 for the ser- vices of said jury, according as each lot or parcel of land in any square may be bene- fited by the establishment of building lines, and they shall make return of such appor- tionment to said Commissioners, In. which they shall designate each lot or part of lot of id so benefited, and the amount so ap- portioned to each. respectively; and in case of failure to pay the amount so apportioned, it shall be the duty of the collector of taxes to levy a tax upon each lot or part of lot of land, in accordance with such apportion- ment, and to collect the same as other taxes on real estate are collected; and said assessments shall bear interest at the ratio 10 per centum per annum until paid. ‘Section 4. That the said marshal shall give or cau: to be given notice of the time and place of meeting of said jurors for the purposes aforesaid to each proprie- tor of land in the square where the building line is proposed to be established, as pro- vided in section 6 of the act of Congress, approved July 22, 1892, entitled ‘An act to provide for the opening of alleys in the District of Columbia.’ As to Projections. “Section 5. That the sald Commissioners, whenever they deem it desirable in the in- terest of economy, may permit buildings existing at the time said building lines are established, and which project beyond sald lines, to remain until such time as the owners of said buildings desire to recon- struct or substantially alter the said build- ings: Provided, That the act of Congress approved March 8, 1891, providing for cer- tain projections upon street parkings shall apply to all parkings established under this act, and the control of said parkings other- wise shall be vested in the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, who are hereby authorized to make and enforce all reason- able and necessary regulations for their care and preservation.” —————— AMUSEMENTS. LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. —McKee Rankin’s Stock Company, which appéared last night at the Lafayette Square Opera House, is an organization whose personnel invites expectation and commands resvect. Mr. Rankin is a fine heavy villain, and Nance O'Neill 1s one of the most charming and yet powerful a¢tresses that the American stage can beast. Her voice fs richly melodious, and her earnestness becomes intense without beitg overstrained or unnatural. Rose Eytixge is an actress whose every pose and ixflection tell of long stage training, and Mr. Andrew Robson is a manly and graceful actor, with whose sentimentalities it is easier to sympathize with because his methods are free from affectation. The company in its entirety may be expected to interpret with good effect a varied and extensive repertoire. The piece selected for presentation last night was “That Lass o” Lowrie’s.”” It is mainly in Yorkshire dia- lect, or what must, in the absence of ex- pert knowledge of the abstruse branches of philology, be accepted as such. . The chafacters are either preternaturally righteous or iniquitous, and have remark- able gifts for sustained conversation. The fact that it was a dialect play, and that the characters evinced a tendency to over- indulge in monologue awakened fears that it would be slightly somnolent. But while it was a trifle spasmodic there was an abundance of action, and it was with a sense of relief that, after the first act, the spectator found the play settling down in- to the old-fashioned melodramatic lines, with plenty of fistic brutality to make the heroism more effective by contrast and a mine explosion at the conclusion of the fourth act. The fact that it was a first performance was of course to be considered in forming an estimate of the play. Even so able a company as this one could scarcely be ex- pected to maintain the close care for de- tall necessary tc an acceptable production of melodrama. The scenery used was beautiful, and with the exception of some startiingly immaculate wheelbarrows and picks, supposed to be in daily use at a coal pit, appropriate. One of the best imperso- nations was that by Ricca Scott, who suc- ceeded in portraying a small boy in a man- ner which was neither trite nor over- wrought. Her clever work would have been more effective if the character had had a closer connection with the plot. In spite of minor defects, many of which will naturally correct themselves, the perform- ance was one of gratifying promise. The play has much which should invite popular interest. NEW NATIONAL THEATER.—Those who went to the National Theater last night expecting to enjoy a good laugh at @ comedy were not disappointed. Willie Collier is a droll fellow and “The *Man from Mexico” is an amusing play. It is a farce in three acts adapted from the French of Goudinet and Bisson by H. A. Du Souchet. The public billing of the play was unfortunate in the representation of a convict in stripes, giving to the uninformed the impression that it might be a melo- drama of the dime-novel character. Such is not the case, although “The Man from Mexico” poses as a jail-bird for a brief time, but under exceedingly humorous cir- cumstances. Willie Collier as Benjamin Fitzhugh visits a concert hall with some of his friends, and while there the place is raided and the visitors are given thirty days in jail. To hide his dilemma from his wife Mr. Fitzhugh notifies her that he has been called to Mexico. One act deals with the experience of Mr. Fitzhugh and his friends in jail, their position being compli- cated by the visit of Mrs. Fitzhugh and a bevy of girls performing the kindly -duties of a flower mission among the unfortunate and misguided victims of the law. When the sentence expires and the Man from Mexico returns to his home his troubles have only commenced. His wife has deco- rated the house with Mexican colors, she and her friends are attired in Mexican cos- tumes, and, in order that her husband may not be subjected to a sudden change of diet, she prepares him a dish of hot to- males, with which the alleged Man from Mexico proves to be strangely unfamiliar. ‘The efforts of the unfortunate Mr. Fitz- hugh to give a lucid and coherent account of his visit and of sights and scenes in Mexico cause him a great deal of trouble, concluding finally in the discovery of his deception. Mr. Collier as a comedian is a success. He is quaint in manner and origi- nal in expression. Louise Allen, who takes the part of his wife, renders efficient ser- vice in cagrying the play along with the dash and spirit which is characteristic of {t. Mr. Maciyn Arbuckle is responsible in a large measure for the success of the comedy. He plays the part of a well-mean- ing and officious friend, whose efforts to put everybody right make everything wrong. Charles Mason as William Loveall, the warden, lends a touch of soberness to the rollicking movement of the play, and’ the company is well selected to support the principal characters. During the tntermis- sions of the acts the orchestra played na- tional airs and kept the audience in an up- roar of enthusiasm. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.-The popularity of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” which has bean presented to the public so many times in €cent years and is for the second time this season in Washington, appears to be on the wane. This play opened for a w2ek's run at the Academy of Music last night. The audience was not a very large one. Web- ber’s company is, on the whole, above the average of companies presenting this slave- time drama. John F. Ryan makes about as good an Uncle Tom as one could well wish for, while Harry Webber makes a great hit as Marks, the lawyer. Ilarry, by the way, has played this part 1,500 times. Wally Webber, as Littl: Eva, gained many en- cores. The work of R. Fulton Russcli, as Simon Legree; Frank Melrose, as St. Clair, and Alex. Vincent, as Phineas Fletcher, was very gocd. The waits between the acts were filled in with several very good specialties, prominent among which were the remarkable feats upon th2 trapez¢ by Martine. The colored members of the com- pany held up their end very well, and in their cake walk elicited many rounds of ap- plause. GRAND OPERA HOUSE.—A good in- stence cf the height to which the war spirit is running in Washington was fur- nished at_the Grand Opera House night. The play was “Cuba’s Vow,” a war drama of a decidedly realistic mold, in which the scenes are laid in Cuba and Spain. Though it was a rainy, dismal night, the theater was crowded, and sel- dom, if ever in its history, were such out- bursts of enthusiasm on the part of an audience manifested. The cruel, treach- erous system of warfare which Spain has carried on in her once devoted colony is portrayed in all of its revolting hidcous- ness in the play, and the versatile actors who had the thankless roles of agents of Spain had to be satisfied with hisses and groans as evidences that their work was well done. But those who represented the patriots of Cuba or officers or bluejackets from Uncle Sam's navy will probably never meet such ovations in future and peace- representative roles. The playing of a fatriotic air by the orchestra, a clash be- tween the contending forces in the fleld or the occasional appearance of some repre- sentative of the United States was in every instance the occasion for a pro- longed outburst of applause. In realisuc situations and fine scenic effects the play is far above the average of war dramas. The work of those in the cast is so uni- formly good that to mention the special excellence of any one would seem unfa “Cuba's Vow” will be at the Grand the balance of the week, and promises to be a great revenue producer. KERNAN'S LYCEUM THEATER.—We- ber's “Parisian Widows” are at Kernan’s this week, and while there are some enter- taining features, the show is not al’ it should be. There {s entertainment enough, however. Raymond and Clark opened the performance with a contribution of songs and comedy, and then Lizzie Van, described as “The Little Sunbeam,” sang and danced. The Cosmopolitan Trio was really the bright particular feature of the performance. Their songs were well selected, and given with excellent effect. The Burman sisters did a Bowery turn that was fair, and Si- monds of Tenley and Simonds did his best to entertain, his partner being ill. Howard and Emerson, the dramatic singers, were well ré€cived, and the illustrated ‘songs were good. Boyce and Black were only fair black-face comedians. A lengthy bur- lesque, entitled “A Night on Broadway,” closed’ the entertainment. It was a long- drawn-out conglomeration of nonsenso with no redeeming features, save the come- @y work of Mr. Tenley. BIJOU THEATER.— Those who visited the Bijou yesterday were evidently satisfied with the entertainment provided for their amusement. It is an evenly constructed performance,although the program is made up of some old-timers. The management eaters to the popular taste as far as the music is concerned, and the orchestra play- ed patriotic airs throughout the evening. Hadj Lessik did a juggling act that was good, and Kate Hope Sprague introduced an excellent monologue. The other num- bers on the program were acceptable. MISS RICHARDS’ LECTURE TONIGHT. —Miss Janet Richards wi!l lecture at the Universalist Church, 12th and L stree tonight on the Yellowstone Park. A! though a great deal has been said and writ- ten about this wonderful section of our country, surpassing in its loveliness and grandeur even the imagination, and as the topic for a lecture it has been worn somewhat threadbare, Miss Richards’ dis- course on it will not only prove to be interesting, but will be instructive as well. Miss Richards will speak from experierice, having taken an extensive trip through the park, and will add to the general at- tractiveness of the subject her personal recollections, which will enable her to speak on points generally unnoticed. Miss Richards has a clear and distinct voice, that is heard without difficulty, excellent enunciation and a command of language that is at once attractive and picturesque. The lecture will be illustrated by a series of handsome views, some of which have aever been shown before. ———_—___ Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent real estate. Franks T.

Street Railway Facilities Discussed at MectingHeld Last Night—Schools and: Mail Delivery. The North Capitel and Eckington Citi- zens’ Association met at its hall, corner of Lincoln avenue and R street, last evening and considered matters in.the interests of the section represented by the association. The question of street railway transporta- tion was discussed and it was decided to make every effort to establish a herdic company to run coaches along R street from Eckington to connect with the Capital Traction or Metropolitan Railway Company at 7th or 9th street. » The meeting was called to order by Wm. G. Henderson, the president of the associa- tion. S. M. Leitzell, treasurer, and W. J. Hughes, secretary, were present. A. R. Serven, chairman of the railroad committee, stated that there was a good Prospect of favorable action at an early day by the Senate on the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company's bill. He had been informed that the railroad company, notwithstanding the existence of war, was ready to proceed with the recon- struction of the road-as a rapid transit line within a reasonably short time after the bill becomes a law, and that the road could be equipped by next winter. Street Railway Situation. Mr. Serven understood that during the day one or more:electric cars on the Brook- land line had been taken off and that two horse cars on the New York avenue line and two horse cars on the G street line were also taken off. The railway situation, he said, did not appear to be getting any better. Mr. Waters suggested that the as- sociation notify the railway company that it might as well take its single car off the North Capitol street line and save the sal- ary of the one driver it employs there. Mr. H. E. Williams, chairman of the committee on fire and police, and Mr. Hen- derson, president of the association, each announced that they had been given a num. ber of tickets to be used as votes for the most popular fire engine company at the Masonic fair. These tickets were for the benefit of the Eckington fire company, and members were given an opportunity to se- cure them and liberal assistance was given the company in its competition. Mr. Irwin B. Linton, chairman of the ccmmittee on schools and school houses, az nounced that the delay on the Eckington Public School buflding had been caused by the failure of the contractors to secure proper joaterials promptly. He said the school building, under the contract the Commissioners made, must be completed by the 8th of June, aad if that is not done, the contractors will be Hable to a penalty, besides having to pay the salary of the superintendent of construction of the school building after that date. Mr. Linton said that at the next meeting of the association he would propose a collection from mem- bers for the purpose of purchasing a flag for the school building. Highway System. Mr. Henderson exhibited for the informa- tlon of members a map showing the high- way system in the section represented by the association. ‘This map has been ap- proved by the ‘highway commission and re- turned to the Commissioners, so that no more changes can be made in it until it is acted upon by Congress.

He had received a reply to the effect hat the city post office had no means of furnishing an additiongl carrier at pres- ent, but that after the first of the next ns- cal year the department would have funds and be able, if willing, to grant additional facilities. Mr. Serven suggested the advisability of the association taking mean; for the estab- lishment of an independent nerdic line, to run along R street from Eckingten to con- nect with either the Capital Traction or the Metropolitan Railway Company's lines at 7th or 9th street. Mr. H. E. Williams said the Metropolitan Coach Company had shown an inclination to establish a herdi line, as indicated by Mr. Serven, if the peo- ple in the section through which it would rtn would subscribe for $5,000 of stock. Must Have a Guarantee. Mr. Henderson suggested that the com- pany, while making such an offer, had de- clined to give any guarantee that the line would be established and run for any defi- nite length of time. He said that while the people had been quite willing to respond to a proposition of that kind, they did not cere to invest in stock without a definite understanding that the company would msintain the line. Mr. Bancroft said he believed the people interested in the association would readily subscribe $5,000 if they could thereby be guaranteed that they would be given a gcod herdic service. Mr. Serven moved that the president of the association appoint a committee to as- certain what could be done in the way of establishing a herdic line, and the associa tion gave authority for the calling of special meeting for the consideration of this question as soon as some arrangement could be made. The president appointed Jay F. Bancroft chairman of the commht- tee, and will announce other members of it later. —>—_— If you have anything to sell go to Sloan's, 1407 G st.
