To the Editor of Tux Eveixe Stan: Tag San of August 15 contains a very inter- esting article on the subject of hay fever. The perusal of the article induces me to give my experience aud observation for what it is worth. My observation teaches me that hay fever is not caused by the action of pollen upon the mucous lining of the nose, but is caused by torpidity of the liver aud its ducts and also the failure of the vkin to throw off the mucous se- eretions of the system. It will be observed that hay fever makes its appearance when the | days are hot and the nights and mornings are | cool While the heat of the day opens the es of the skin, causing increased erspira- &c., the sudden coolness of the eveni and morning: of skin, thereby throwing back upon the liver the work which ought to be done by the skin. The liver being unable to .pertorm the increased work, becomes torpid or clogged as it were, and the revult is the mucous secretions of the — seek the outlet of the throat and nose. re the secretions become a foreign sub- stance and a poison to the balance of the sys- The result is inflammation of uddenly close the addition to the resident popalation of the city. There are quite a large number of new houses to be placed on the market this season and, with the old houses which are vacant, it is thought that the supply will equal the demand. As was stated in last Saturday's Star, increased provision has been made for the accommoda- tion of the floating population, which 1s one of the features of the winter season in this city. The hotels, apartment houses and boarding houses nd melons for dinner Sun- | have enlarged their facilities, and the general impression seems to be that the coming fall and winter season will find the city filled with visitors. A fair percentage of the annual visitors to the capital city are sufficiently inde- pendent in their mode of life tobe able to choose —— of residence. They find the conditions of living here very agreeable and pleasant and they are apt to make permanent arrangements to remain here as residents. Some buy houses, others lease, while still others purchase building sites and erect resi- dences. The — of the real estate mar- ket for the fall season are very promising. The continued wth and osperity of the city gives a healthy tone to the market. There is a general feeling of confidence in investmeuts of all kinds in this city. This has been demonstrated —— the past three months by the readiness with which the stock of three new local enterprises was taken. The aggregate amount of stock offered was over a million of dollars. In each case the subscriptions amounted to nearly twice the proposed capital stock, and it was necessary to scale down and apportion the stock. These in- stances show not only confidence but aneasy money market, ‘MR. HEURICH’S ENTERPRISES. The triangular square at the intersection of New Jersey avenue with H street northwest is owned by Mr. Christian Heurich. At present it is ocoupied by a frame building used as a market and as soon as the present lease ex- ires. which will be in the course of a year, r. Heurich intends to erect a fine building occupying the entire square. The first story of the building will be used for market pur- poses, and in the upper portion there will be a enya hall for the use of public meetings. he improvement will be a fine one and will be an attractive feature in that section of the city. Mr. Heurich is at present in Europe, where he goes nearly every year to study the improved methods in use in the large brewer- ies of the old country. His brewery in this city is much larger thin the outside appearance of the building would indicate, as he has a series of cellars or vaults under ground which are some 40 feet iu depth. In addition to car- rying on the extensive interests connected with his brewery Mr. Heurich has re- cently embarke: in a new enter- prise. Some two years ago he purchased a farm adjoining the fiae farm of Mr. Benja- min P. Snyder, the president of the National safe deposit company, and also the ‘m be~ longing to the estate of tho late Geo. W. Riggs. From an agricultural standpoint it was not much of a farm when Mr.Heurich became the owner. Briars and weeds were the principal crops. By a judicious system of fertilizing Mr. Heurich has effected a complete transforma- | tion and he now intends toseed the entire place in clover. He proposes to have a first-class dairy farm and has built an immense barn which is the wonder of the neighboring farmers. The side wails are built of cement and stone and the roof is galvanized iron, Here he intends to shelter his drove of cows. He has made other improvements about the place, and when he has everything in working order it will be one of the most complete dairy farms in this vieii ity. FASHION IN INTERIOR DECORATIONS, The use of stained giass in house building has practically been abandoned in this city. Not long ago it was all the rage, but it has ap- parently had ite day and it is now laid away in the graveyard of defunct fashions, It seems rather odd at first thought that fashion should | have anything to do with house building, but itsreign is almost as supreme as it is in the | matter of dress, The changes, however, are less violent and fickle. There is another fashion which seems to be yielding to the general doom and that is the extensive use of hard woods for interior decorations. It has never been very general because of the great expense, but the use of skillfully-devised stains has made it pos- sible for pine and poplar to pass muster for oak and cherry and mahogany. In some of the new houses very little hard wood is used. The finish is pine painted in colors to suit the decorations of the various rooms, Elaborate decorations of the walls and ceilings aro now the features of the interior finish of private residences, Still it 1s not likely that the use of hard woods will ever be entirely abandoned, as certain ele- gant effects are obtained by their introduction | which are possible in no other way. These woods have been used in domestic architecture from the earliest days and any change in tash- ion ‘will effect merely the degree of their em- ployment in interior finish, House builders have recently been confronted with the question as to whether they would finish the partors of their houses in white and gold. They find thatis the thing todo, and so this style of interior fiuish has become quite com- mon. A brief reign is predicted for this fash- ion. It is said to be expensive not so much on- account of the original cost, but because it re- quires money to live up to it. must be rich and ele the furniture and walls covered with the lightest silks,in order to harmonize with the soft, delicate finish of the room. It is claimed that that kind of furnish- ing is all very well in houses large enongh to admit of more than one parlor, but that it can- not stand the ordinary wear and tear required of the room that must be used as the general parlor or reception room. The white and gold style of decoration, however, is very popular, and even baby carriages are finished cut ix this fashion. and now it is announced that » railroad dining car has erg ihe this elegant dress Itisa notable fact, however, that the car builders utilize the fashion, whatever may be, in designing the interior decorations of cars, especially the parlor cara. A study of these decorations will give a person a fair idea of the prevailing fashion in the dec- oration of private residences. MR. DANENHOWER'S BUILDIN3 OPERATIONS. The extensive building operations of Mr. year have not yet come to aclose. He has re- of these houses will be two stories in height, with basements. and two will have back build- ings. The houses have stone trimmings, iron steps, and the design is tasty and attractive. Mr. Danenhower is also building four houses on F street between Ist and 2d streets north- east. Although he has built a large gumber of houses in the northeast section recently, yet he finds that there is a ready demand for them. IN THE NORTHEAST SECTION, One of the largest and recent transactions in city is the purchase by Mr. A. Burgdorf of three a squares of ground. The land is bounded by Delaware avenue, 2d, N and Boundary streets northeast. and is known as squares E of 710, E of 711 and N of 747. Mr. Burgdorf does not intend to — this land at present. He says that he thinks there isa great future for property in that section of the city, and is of the opinion that he can afford to also owns square 670, which is bounded by New York avenue, O, North Capitol and Ist streets, where he is now building a number of houses, On square 671, which is south of the above, is also owned by Mr. He p the Lincoln hall association, and ining of the nose and throat, which is d hay fever.

The Horrors of the Conflagration Graph- ically Described by a Washingtonian. A private letter has been received in the city from a former Washingtonian, now living in Spokane Falls, W. T., giving a graphic descrip- tion of the recent tecrible fire in that city. The writer says: “Such a sight as it was; the whole town appeared to be in flames, the sky wasred and murky with smoke and the heat suffocating. The wind seemed to be blowing from every direction and to change every few minutes. Millions of dollars’ worth of property have gone up in the flames, and men who were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars are now in want of bread and shelter. Thirty-three blocks of buildings are entirely burned up, in- cluding allthe hotels and many lodging houses. China-town is a mass of smoking ruins, “My husband, who had been working to save some of his effects at his office, came home lo'clock and told me to pack all my valua- bles and be ready to move at @ moment’ I did so, but fortunately the fire stopped just two blocks from our house. In the burut district the heat is still great, for the fire is smouldering in many places, The zaiis of the street cars were curled and twisted by the heat until they looked like iron serpents, and the fallen electric and telegraph wires form a perfect network in some places, The city is under martial law now, and after 7 o'clock in the evening one must have a pass and a countersign in order to pass in and out of the burned section, There has been a great deal of pillaging. The Indians are coming in on all sides to see whut they can pick up and the thieves are as thick as Hees in Oregon, “Many people are living in tents and right be- hind our house are families camping out and living under the blue canopy of heaven. We were several hours without water and that was the worst misfortane. Provisions are plenty andthose who cannot buy can have things F. | given them, for we are willing to share our last crust with those who have been driven trom their homes. But you should see the en- terprise of the men here, Before the flames were fairly extinguished, certainly while burn- ing embers were stili smoking. plans for re- building were made and the work of clearing away the debris was begun. We will havea better city than before and in much less time than you in the east can imagine.” DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. THE COLORED SCHOOL TRUSTEE TROUBLE. The committee appointed at the meeting of colored citizens in South Washington last Tues- day night to present the views of the committee to the Commissioners on the colored school question called apon the Commissioners yes- terd The committee was composed of Car- ter Stewart, M. M. Holland, W. C. Chase, Charles H. Clarke andJ, H. Smith, O, 8. B. Wall and E. M. Hewlett were also present, rep- resenting the opposition. The committee were usbered into the board room and discussed the question thoroughly. They said that an entire new board of trustees would be the proper thing, and urged the necessity of this by being particularly severe on several members of the present board. After some general talk Com- missioner Douglass said he would look into the matter and reserve his decision until he hud examined the arguments presented by Messrs. Dartington and Gregory. Dr. Francis’ term expires September 13. THE WOMAN 8 DiSPENSARY. The Commissioners have received from the Woman's dispensary the annual report for the fiseal year ending June 30, 1839. During the past year, the report says, many of the surgical cases applying for relief have been turned away | owing to a lack of necessary funds for employ- ing a suitable nurse and supplying proper food. During the year 2,472 visite were made and there were 96 new patients, 869 of which were colored. TWELVE-INCH PIPE SEWERS.

Arrangements for the “Open” Tourna- ment to be Held Here in September. Next week a circular will be sent out from this city to all the leading tennis piayers in the country inviting them to take part in the “open tournament” which the National tennis asso- ciation arranged to be held here on the 16th of September, The first tournament of the kind was held here last year on the grounds of the Highland country club, and a number of the leading tennis players of the country took part. It is expected that there will bea large num- ber of entries on this occasion and that the contest for the championship of the south will be an interesting one. This tournament differs from the one held under the auspices of the Southern tennis association from the fact that the entries in the latter are confined to members of clubs connected with the associa- tion, OPEN TO ALL COMERS. ‘The “open tournament” receives entries from players residing in all parts of the country. No definite arrangements have as yet been completed for the entertainment of the visiting players, but a number of tennis players and other persons living in this city have expressed their willingness to entertain the vistors at their houses. Those intending to enter the tournament will be requested to make their in- tention known at as early a date as possible, so that they can be provided with quarters.

It has not been finally decided where the tournament will be held, but it is likely that the grounds of the Bachelor club, at the corner of 17th and P streets, will be offered for the oo- casion. The grounds are the largest in the city, and are conveniently located. The member. ship of the club has increased so rapidly that | plans are being considered for the enlargement ofthe grounds. There are now five courts laid out, and it is proposed to move the west fence and take in enough ground to provide for two additional courts. It is also the intention to erect a grand stand, so that the players can wit- ness the games with comfort.
