SENATE PASSES BILL
Question of Amphitheater for
Arlington Now Up to House.
COST PLACED AT $750,000
Building to Seat 5,000 People and
to Contain Bodies of Dis
tinguished Men.
It is now for the House to determine
whether or not a memorial amphitheater,
to cost $750,000. shall be built at the Ar
lington National cemetery, the Senate
yesterday afternoon having given its ap
proval to the bili directing the erection
of the building.
Some objections to the bill have been
raised from time to time in the Senate,
but wjien Senator Sutherland, chairman
of the Senate committee on public build
ings and grounds, and in charge of the
measure, asked its passage yesterday aft
ernoon. not a protesting voice was heard
and the bill went through in the time it
took to put the routine motions.
The construction work is to be under
the direction ot' a commission composed
of the Secretary of War, the Secretary
of the Navy. the superintendent of the
Capitol and Ivory G. Kimball, represent
ing the Grand Army of the Republic. The
bill directs the commission to enter into
contracts for the building to cost not
more than $750,u00, and the money is to
be provided in annual appropriation bills.
Building to Seat 5,000 People.
The plans for the amphitheater were
prepared under the direction of a com
mission appointed by Congress several
years ago. They call for an amphitheater
that will seat about 5,000 people and
afford standing room for many more in
the colonnade.
Under the colonnade the architects have
planned for the placing of a crypt, in
which should be buried the distinguished
men of the nation that merit special
honors. This feature will raise the am
phitheater to the dignity of a Westmin
ster Abbey or a Pantheon. Under the
colonnade and upon the base of the
building could be placed inscriptions
marking each separate crypt, while me
morial busts or portrait statues could be
placed in the colonnade, somewhat as
has so frequently been done in the fa
mous campo santos of Europe.
In the amphitheater, by special direc
tion in the bill, there will be provided a
chapel for the holding of funeral services
when the entire amphitheater is not used.
And there will also be a room where
trophy flags and other objects of interest
to visitors and appropriate for the ceme
tery can be exhibited.
INTAKE TO BE EXTENDED.
Old Dominion Line Granted Permis
sion by Secretary of War.
On the recommendation of Col. Lang
litt, the engineer officer in charge of the
improvement of the Potomae river, tiie
Secretary of War has granted the Wash
ington and Old Dominion Railway Com
pany permission to reconstruct and ex
tend the intake trench for its power house
at RoBslyn, Va. It is proposed to extend
the trern h about 100 feet beyond the end
of the old intake on the bed of the river
near the AcqueUuct bridge and provide it
with a filter box. The application was
granted on condition that the intake
snail riot interfere with the navigation
of tin- liver and tiiat the permit gives
tiie company no property rights nor an
exclusive right of way.

AWAITING MELON VESSELS.
Dealers Looking for Arrivals in Next
Two or Three Days.
Tlic dealers who handle watermelons
brought here by vessel are looking for
arrivals of melon-laden craft within two
or three days. It is stated the first ves
sels that will come this season will be
from the farms in North Carolina along
the sounds. Three melon-laden craft
have left North Carolina points for tills
city, and uie expected to reach here this
week. Reports received from the melon
growing country on the eastern shore of
Maryland and Virginia state that melons
are slow In ripening there owing to the
damp weather and the tool nights, and
it will be about August 5 before cutting
of the fruit Is begun. Last season the
tlrst melon cargo came July ^5, and from
that lime on, until the season closed,
there was a steady succession of melon
carrying craft coming in and leaving
port. The season this year opens a little
later.
Humanity and Cats.
To tbt Kriltor of The Star:
After reading the statement that the
citizens of Washington will undertake the
destruction of the cats which roam at
large, I beg you to give place to a plea
that it shall be done In a humane manner.
When one sees these poor mutilated
creatures in our city, and knows how
boys, and even men. torture them. It
seems time for Christian people to care
more for the prevention of cruelty to ani
mals. They surely can be destroyed with
less fright and pain than by the nets ajid
roughness of the pound collectors, who
are so brutal to dogs. So I rejoice that
private individuals are willing to help. If
children were taught to be kind to all
4nimals they would gain in character, as
mu.'h as our dumb friends would escape
in suffering

OUTING OF PROPHETS
MARKED BY MIRTH

I |
j Red Imps of Satan and "Suf-!
fragettes" Add to Day's
Amusements.
Red imps of satan, with horns and
i forked tails, chasing each other up and
: down the Boardwalk and around the
grounds; F. II. Kramer, disguised as
".Mile. Fieur de Krame," and doing all
sorts of things with real, live snakes, and
a "suffragette parade" were features of
an enjoyable outing given by Kallipolis
Grotto Xo. lf>. of the .Mystic Older of
Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm
and the Washington Florists' Club at
Chesapeake Beach yesterday. Kain fell
later in the day. but all the athletic
events, except the races, were "pulled
off," and none of the special preparations
made for the laughing entertainment of j
the guests of the occasion was omitted.
The famous "Calathumpian Brass Band
; and Winged Orchestra" of the grotto ap
! peared upon the scene just after the big
basket picnic dinner had been eaten, and
| from the time of the parade until it was
j driven to cover by the rain it kept up
; its weird music to the great amusement
of its hearers.
Fancy Dances Given.
In the pavilion a program of fancy
dancing was presented by the pupils of
j Miss Madolin Smithson, including the
I Misses Juanita AIcGee, Xaoini Minnix.
| Lilia Smithson, Helen De Bree, Mar
I garet Plitt, Henrietta Gates, Norma
Barnard, Emma Morgenweik, Blanche
l Ramsaur and Masters Hugh Kamsaur
and Theodore Gates. A unique exhibi
j tion of feats of strength was given by an
individual billed as "Sowdan the Strong."
The special features made the day one
! of laughter and amusement, despite the
weather, and but few if any of the great
host of people that went to the beach dur
ing th?- day, estimated at more than
seemed sorry on the return trip for any
thing except that the rain had probably
prevented many more from coming and
interfered some with outdoor sports.

LADEN WITH PAVING BLOCKS.]
Steamship Zaandyke Arrives Here1
From Middlesbrough, England.
Laden with paving blocks from Mid
dlesbrough. England, the big Holland
American line steamship Zaandyke, Capt.
Braun. arrived at this city late yesterday
evening, and was docked at the 1?th street
wharf of the American Ice Company.
The Zaandyke sailed from her loading
point on the east coast of England July
s, and was expected to airive here last
Sunday or Monday. She did not pass in
the capes of the Chesapeake until about
I o'clock yesterday morning, and made
the run from the capes to Alexandria in j
seventeen hours. The vessel lay for an
hour or two at Alexandria while Dr. i
Arthur Snowden, the marine hospital!
surgeon, examined her. and, finding all j
aboard well, she was allowed to come up j
to this city. The services of several tugs j
of the Taylor fleet were necessary to put I
the big ship at the dock so that she can |
l?e unloaded.
The Zaandyke has aboa.ci about 4,000
tons of the paving block, which will be
used in paving street railway tracks in
various parts of the cit> . The work of un
loading the big ship was begnn this morn
ing. and it is stated that about ten days
will be required to remove her cargo
This Is the first steamer flying the Dutch
flag to come to this port in many years,
and she will attract much attention from
this fact, as well as from her slz*?. En
the past two years cargoes of paving
biock from England have been landed
here. They were brought in British

A Word for the Pensioners.
To the Kditor of The Star:
In your Issue of July the 23d is J. A.
Brown's letter to the Commissioners com
mending their action in cutting the pen
sions paid to sixteen policemen and fire
men, who for some disability incurred in
the performance of their duties were re
tired on a pension ranging from $16 to
SfVO. I would like to a?k Mr. Brown If
lie could support a family on a sum rang
ing from $15 to or does lie or the
Commissioners think that alter they re
tire an unfortunate who in the disciiarg.- j
of his duty is crippled and maimed for;
life the unfortunate one should be- I
come a drone? Should he become a loafer
simply because he is receiving a few dol
lars from a fund which while he Is in
good health he has helped to build by
giving a part of his salary each month?
Should he have no ambition to get ahead'.'
Mr. Brown writes the publl; is in sym
pathy with the widows, orphans and the
old and infirm. Mr. Brown should only
stop to think that a mail who Is disabled
in his young days has to go through life
a burden to himself and often to others.
An older man who is retired for age has
had thirty years to accumulate a few dol
lars. The yoi.ng man who Is disabled
and retired from the force finds it hard
to get employment in which he might
make a few dollars, so that when he is
infirm he will not be entirely depending
on the few dollars paid as a pension from
the District. 1 would like to hear from
others on this subject, as I am sure that
J. A. Brown does not constitute the aor
fir* public. J. T,

The Soda Fountain
By WALT MASON
V ?-? 11 11 ?
How dear to my heart is the big soda fountain that stands in
the front of the pharmacist's store, all gleaming with silver and
celluloid mountin', and loaded with sirups and
flavors galore! How sweet, when the weather is
hotter than Cadiz, to go to the shop of the drug
gist it is, and order some suds for yourself and
the ladies,, from out of that fountain that's loaded
with fizz! That big marble fountain, that cold,
clammy fountain, that brass mounted fountain
that's loaded with fizz! And equally dear is the
clerk who attends it, the beautiful youth with a
dignity high; if you are too flossy he speedily
ends it, by freezing you up with a glance from
his eye. The hauteur of kings and the bearing
of princes, the frigid reserve of Napoleon are his,
while mixing his extracts of lemons and quinces,
and working the fountain that turns out the fizz; the tall, stately
fountain, the gas inspired fountain, the cold, gleaming fountain that
turns out the fizz!

f "I'p in Boston." says Dr. J. L. Norris,
assistant health officer of the District,
"they' may refuse to use soap if they
want to. That is a matter of personal
inclination?an idiosyncrasy, as it were.
And Boston is noted for idiosyncrasies.
But Washingtonians are in the habit of
using soap?and water?at regular inter
vals. and they not only seem to like it,
but thrive on it. Of course, in a matter
of this kind it's largely a question of
how one is brought up. and here In
Washington we are accustomed to fre
quent and regular bathing."
Dr. Mullowney believes soap contains
the germs of typhoid, diphtheria, scarlet
fever and several other things, and de
clares that when used on the human
body tliese germs get into the system
and* doom the victim to an untimely de
mise. Health experts in Washington
pooh-pooh the pronouncement of the Bos
ton man and say that good soap i6 made
at a temperature that spells sudden death
to all microbes, bacilli, bacteria, et id
omne genus.
So. despite the anti-soap propaganda
going out from the home of the sacred
codfish, the Aladdin cooker, esoteric
LIuddhism and baked beans, Washington
people will continue to answer in the
affirmative the famous phrase which
; runs "Good morning; have you used
Plum's soap this morning?"
