REAL ESTATE GOSSIP. . —_ The Activity in Suburban Property North of the City. THE PLANS FOR PROSTECTIVE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE SUBURBS—A SYNDICATE BUYING UP LAND ALONG CONNECTICUT AVENUE EXTENDED— OTHER MATTERS OF INTEREST. There is some difference of opinion as to the extent of the transactions now in progress in suburban property to the north and northwest of the citr, During the past few weeks a great deal of property has changed hands. A large nui of transactions, however, have not ag yet reached the stage where the deeds have passed. It will probably not be until the deeds are placed on record that an accurate estimate an be made of the actual transactions in prop- erty that have recently been made in that por- tion of the suburbs extending fromBrightwood to Tenleytown. It is generally conceded that the salex have been large, and one dealer who has been prominent in this movement estimates that the total money value represented in these sales is at least 22,000,000, Others, however, make more moderate estimates; but still the wum total rSuatns surprisin large, repre- senting as it does transactions in suburban Property at « considerable distance from the city and at a time of the year when the real estate market is rather inactive, A number of these sales have been published in Tux Stan from time to time. Leaving the Tenlestown road and going east the scene of an ex- tensive line of purchases is reached. A syndi- cate, said to be “well heeled,” has recently acquired nearly ull the land on each side of the line which Connecticut avenue will follow when extended. ‘Ihcir purchases begin on the north end of Woodley park. through which Connecticut avenue will pass after crossing Rock creek. From Woodley park almost tothe District line this syndicate now owns nearly ali the abutting property. They have paid all the way from £1,000 an acre to #500 per acre, and their investments have now reached, it is the large sum of a half a million of dollars. It is understood to be the intention of this syndi- cate to make extensive improvements in the line of subdividing the property, and they also intend to open up and extend Connectient ave- Rue at their own expense. A line of electric cars is among the improvements talked about, ag it is the desire of the new owners to bring their property at once on the market, IN THE VICINITY OF BRIGETWOOD, While investors have been securing land slong the Tenleytown road and along Con- necticut avenue extended there has been a strong movement in property to the west and north of Brightwood as well as along the 7th Street road. While the new street railway out ‘7th street has no doubt had an influence in calling attentiou to this property, yet another explanation is given. Mr. Louis P. Shoemaker, who is « large ower in property in this vicinity a8 well asa dealer. states that, while property to the extreme northeast and northwest of the city has beeu frequently changing hands dur- ing the past few years, land to the north of the city and toward the District lize has been in- Active, and in consequence values are com- paratively less. He thinks that the present Movement is simply an effort to bring up this neglected property to « par in market value With the property euch side. The Rock creek park, if Congress should authorize the purchase of the land, would pass throagh this nary social seasor: in this city was the organiza- tion of the Washington bowling club, which began its existence in November, "1889. As it was intended wholly for a bit of between the | Season's pastime the active existence of the | club was brought toa close on the day follow- ing Christmas, when the final meeting of the season was held. The organization of the club } and its marked auecess were due to the efforts of Mies Dahlgren, whose brilliant ideas andex- cellent executive ability were evidenced by the happy existence of the bowling club. The seven meetings of the club were held in the | bowling alley in Heurich’s brewery, besides which the club had ‘the use of a room where light refreshments, tea, punch und sandwiches were served, The mectings were held each Thursday afternoon from 3 to 6, the members wearing badges of red and blue and the hon- orary members showing ribands of white. The rules of the club were simple. Each member was entitled to bowl; each member was entitled to bring a guest to the meetings, but only the membership number were entitled to bowl. If the member surrendered his place in the alley to his guest be did not bowl for the afternoon. The fee for each member was $3. The season closed with a contest for prizes that were offered by the chaperones, All of the members took part in the opening tournament for place. Then the ten best players among the men and the ten best among the girls entered for the final decisive bowling, which resulted in the championships being awarded to Mr. Rowan Stevens, who received a scarf pin, and to Miss Lucy Corkhill, who was given achatelaine time piece. The contest was the most exciting event of the club, SOCIAL PLEASURES. The bowling club was the occasion of a num- ber of other pleasant social events besides its Thursday meetings. The first was its organ- ization tea that was given by Mrs. Dahlgren in November. irs, John R, McLean gave one of the prettiest balls of the season in its honor, and Mrs. A. F. Magruder gave two beautiful | teas. to which the guests were invited to meet the members of the bowling club, Miss Edie gave another charming tea, and the german that was given at the close of its season, by a committee composed of Miss Corkhill, Miss Bancroft and Misé Brooke, with the surplus funds of the club was a great success, There were three favor figures. Mr, and Mrs, A. A. Pollok gave the favors for one figure, Miss Squire for a second and the elub for the other one. Sixty couples danced in itand there were 150 guests present. Thus ended the season of the bowling club in a blaze of gayety. OFFICERS AND MEMBERS. Mr. Robert Hinckiey was president and treas- urer; Miss Speed, vice president; Miss Dahl- gren, secretary. The honorary members were: Mrs. Jno, R. McLean, Mrs, Magruder, Mrs. Hearst. Mrs. Dah!gren, Miss Taylor, Mra. Pol- lok and Miss Mary Henry. Mrs, Hackett, Mrs. Hinckley, Mrs. James and Mra, MeCanley were the chaperunes. The others were Miss Ban- croft, Miss Bliss, Mr. Alger, Mr. Addison, Mr. Andrews, Mr. Barry, Mr. M. Blair, Mr. Bestor, Mr. Bliss, Mr. Bosch, Mr. Brice, Miss Lrooke, Dr. Bisphan, Miss KR.

THE NEW SUBDIVISIONS. All this buying snd selling of farm lands is to be followed during the coming season, so it is said, by a series of improvements which will add very materiallyto the extent of the city. In a few days » map prepared by Mr. Hermann K. Viele, the civil engiucer, will be published, showing a complete subdivision of all the land along Massachusetts avenue extended and its Wieinity fyom Kock creek nearly to the District line. This subdivision is of course made in accordance with the plan of the city, Streets and avenues are aid down on the same lines and the same widths as those in the city, The farthest western street shown on this new map lies beyond the Loughborough road and is named 4ith street. The street crossing Massa- ehusetty avenue just beyond Boundary is 22d street, so that it is possible to estimate how far from the present city limits is located the ex- treme western street of this new subdivision. The extreme northern street, which is only a short distance from the boundary lime of the District, on this new map is called Zanesville. The first street run- Bing north and south, beginning where the al- Phabetical streets of the city end, is called Albany street, and thus in the new city that is growing up outside of the present city another alphabet has been exhausted in furnishing hames to the new streets, Mr. Viele intends to ‘epare another map which will show the sub- ivision of the land on each side of Connecti- eut avenue from Boundury to the District line. It is uot claimed, of course, that all these streets arg to be opened during the course of the next Year, but the maps are interesting as showing what the suburbs of the city will look like when the system of city streets is extended. IMPROVEMENTS To BE MADE, Subdivisions of land will, however, be laid out along the Tenleytown road and along the 7th street road. Perhaps the most important improvement is the work which will be done along Massachusetts avenue extended from Rock creek to the Teuleytown road. A tract of land embracing about 240 aeres was purchased sev- eral years ago by « syndicate of well-known men. ‘They Lave under consideration now plans which, if curried out, will result in the grading and the opening of all the streets. This will require the expenditure of a large sum of money. but the owners have great faith in this broperty. It was purchased about four years ago for between three and four handred’ dol- ver acre. Itis now valued at more than 3,000 per acre and interests in the operty have been recently sold on the of that price per acre. A few weeks sey, ae jtusted in Tux Bran atthe time, this syndicate sold the Kengia tract, which lies on the west side of the Tenley- town road south of where Massachusetts® ave- Rue extended intersects the road. The price paid was $3,000 per acre, and the Pl a syndicate of Washington men, have had already a éubdivision of this tract made and named it Tuulaw Heights. They intend, so Mr. Kk. H. Geldsborough, a member of the syndicate, told @ 8Tax man, to spend a large sum of money in Opening up streets, putting down sidewalks and in img preparations for starting a set- tlement at once. Auother new subdivision in this locality is that of the property owaed by Austin Herr at the mtersection of pst road with the Tenleytown road, which will also be made ready for the market during the coming Beason, ‘MR. GIBSON'S RESIDENCE. A handsome residence is being built by Mr. Jobn Gibson on the west side uf 15th street Miss Windom, Mr. Wylie, Miss Mitchell, THE FUTURE OF THE CLUB, It has been urged that the club be reorgan- ized for bowling during the Lenten season, but it is not likely that it will be. But the career of the club and of bowling is by no means closed in this city. There is a project on foot looking to the building of a bowling club house. It has been ascertained that a suitable house for the use of the club could be erected for 1.200 or by an experienced contractor for less money. It should contain four alleys.with the necessary toilet and retiring rooms, and a large ballroom in the front of it. The club will reorganize in the spring with 200 regular members and over fifty honorary members, and it would lease for six or ten years a buil ing that was suited to its needs afd require- ments,if it does not in the meantime erect sach a building for its own use. BOWLING AS A PASTIME, This institution of bowling as a recognized pastime and exercise in the city is at once in- teresting and pleasing. The sport is healthful, invigorating and exciting, and can be played by women and children as advantageously as by men. Every one knows in a general way what bowling is, as the alley is now one of the staple amusements at all summering places, There is a long stretch of polished w on a hard foundation. This is the alley. and the regulation alley is sixty-four feet long and three aud a half feet wide. At one end of the alley are big wooden pins, the size of a wine bottle, set wp so that they form a triangle. The bowler, at the other end of the alley, tries to knock these — down by whirling down the alley big balis of polished aud heavy wood, Ten pins are the number now used, and there are holes in the ball into which the fingers are thrust for delivery of the ball by the bowler. The main point in the game is to hit the head pin, the one that stands at the apex of the triangle. the point nearest the player. The best players do not run six or eight yards in pitching the balls. This action ix ineffectual as well as ungraceful. A beginner finds that the most difficult thing to remember in pras- tice isnot to look atthe pins when bowling but to keep his eyes upon the alley. It is the ball that is to be psychologized, the pins will succumb to its forcefulness. WOMEN AS BOWLERS, It isa theory amoug expert masculine bowl- ers that women are prevented, from physical and sartorial reasons (because of the clinging obstructive garments that they wear), from becoming the best bowlers in the world. The latter cause is easily overcome and with the full, flowing dress skirts that are now worn a woman need not be handicapped by her clothing un- less she so chooses. If there is something about a woman's arms and shoulders that pre- vents her from throwing things with the same force as men she should learn to exercise her brain as well us her muscle in delivering a ball along a bowling alley and excel by skill where she lacks in muscular force in this ex- hilarating game. It is not proposed to give the comparative scores of the men and the girls who contested for the prize to show how closely the girls played with men in the game or whut fine “strikes” they constantly achieved. WHAT CONSTITUTES 4 GAME. Ten innings constitute a game and each player bowls three balls in an inning, and thus thirty balls in the course of a game, He bowls his three balls in succession and scores by the number of pins he knocks down altogether. If he knock down all the pins with the first ball he makes a strike. if all the pins go down uuder the first two balls the player has made a between Massachusetts avenue and M street, | spare and if the three balls are used he counts The-design of the front presents a pleasing combination of stone and #6 brick. There is a rounded projection which terminates at the roof line with a tower. The roof is covered With red tile and completes a very effective front.

D. C., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY “*RAH, "RAH, ’RAH. TIGER!’ Princeton Men Sit Down to Their Annual Dioner. THE ALUMNI IN WASHINGTON GIVE A WARM GREETING TO PRESIDENT PATTOX—SPEECHES AND SONGS—THE FUTURE OF THE UNIVERSITY— OFFICERS CHOSEN FOR THE YEAR. The tiger was loose at Welcker's last night, the royal tiger emblematic of Princeton, and right royally did he disport himself, for the sons of old Nassau in this city were gathered together to do honor to their beloved alma mater, It was their nineteenth annual ban- quet. ‘Rah, ‘rah, ‘rah, tiger, siss, boom. ah! was the cheer that echoed around the building again and again, and every time a speaker re- ferred to Princeton or foot ballor Berkeley ovat or President Pattonor Poe of foot ball fame or Dr. McCosh or any of the many sub- jects so dear to a Princeton heart he was stopped by such cheering as only college boys can do, For all were boys last night The graduate of nearly half a century ago was as lively and enthusiastic as the last year's grada- ate who was at his first alumni dinner. United in the common bond that coliege life makes for students the oldest cheered with the youngest and sang as lustily the old college songs, that are never really old and are never forgotten. +h man’s memories of his four years’ hfe at the Jersey college were fresh and living last night, and stories and anecdotes were well mixed in with the cheering and singing. DR, PATTON'S RECEPTION. Dr. Francis L. Patton, president of the col- lege, came on for the occasion and the recep- tion he received from the Washington gradu- ates showed how pleased they were with the trustees’ choice of a man to succeed old Dr. MeCosh. Thero are not many better after din- ner speakers than Dr. Patton, and when he was called on for a specch there was the great- est enthusiasm. Many stood on their chairs and all were on their feet at once cheer- ing and ap leading: and it was some time before he could be heard. Although there was no attempt at formal toasts and re- plies, yet there were any number of good speeches in answer to calls from’ President J. Voorhees, who sat at the head of the table and presided over the banquet. Dr. Patton had the seat of honor at his right and Judge A. B. Haguer was at his left. A UNIVERSITY CLUB. Mr. Voorhees made a brief speech, in which he thanked the association for the honor they had conferred upon him in electing him pres- ident. He referred gracefully to the presence of the illustrious president of the college and the honor he had @one the association in coming so far to attend their reunion, and thanked him in the name of the alumni and assured him of their loyalty to Princeton, Mr. Voorhees said that in discussing college matters he was struck with the fact that there 1s no university club in this city, as there is in almost every city of this size in this country. It seemed strange to him that men who, though graduates of various colleges, have yet so much in common, should not have a club where all might meet on the common ground of college graduates. There are hun- dreds of graduates in this city and it would be a very easy matter to organize from their num- ber a university club with a club honse, where there would be rooms for the different alumni associations, a restaurant, a college library and everything else that goes to foster a fellow feeling among the body of graduates, DR. PATTON'S SPEECH. Dr. Patton was especially happy in his re- marks, He spoke of the loss to the association occasioned by the death of the late president, Dr. Harvey Lindsley, and congratulated them upon the choice ‘of a successor whom he was now gi see occupying the head of the table. In referring to the large gathering of members ard his inability always to connect the proper names with the proper faces and the reverse he told an amus- ing story of a young man coming up to speak tohim recently. After shaking hands with him the speaker said: “You face is familiar, but I don’t recall the name.” “Poe,” quietly observed the captain of the famous foot ball team. Dr. Patton said when he recovered from the shock he implored Poe not to give him away, Princeton college was more happily situated than some of the neighboring colleges, the speaker said, referring to the trouble hee in Rutgers college between the students ani fuculty over the theft of the clapper of the col- lege bell, No issue of this kina ever arises at Princeton, the speaker said. The students there annually steal the bell clapper, but instead of making it a subject of college disci- pline the clappers are purchased by the ton, and when one is taken it is at’ once replaced, If, however, observed the presi- dent, dryly, a student ‘is caught in the act, then he is made to pay enongh to buy another ton, This description of the faculty method of mecting what the students consider « daring breach of discipline was received with shouts of merriment by the graduates present, many of whom had been engaged in these midnight raids on the clapper of the chapel bell, HONOR AND DISCIPLINE. After quiet had beeu restored Dr. Patton went on to explain his ideas of discipline by saying that it was better not to see too many things or to huve too many rules. ‘They en- deavor to recognize the manhood of the students, and asarule the undergraduate re- sponds to it. He spoke of the experiment made in his own examinations of putting men on their honor, and he said that in his opinion it was more essful then employing “‘spot- ters.” In king of the introduction of the elective system and the changes in the curriculum, Dr. Patton said that he believed that when a young man reaches the age of eighteen or is between the ages of eighteen or twenty-two he has made up his mind pretty well what he is going to do in life. He therefore was in favor of encouraging men who had reached that age to select their studies in groups which ure germane to each other, and as aresuit the men achieve success in the line along which their tastes and inclinations run, As far as this plan had been adopted in Prince- ton he was happy to say that the results had fully justified the expectations. They endeay- ored to eliminate the preparatory school id entirely from the college and treat men as uni- versity men and not as pupils in a preparatory shook, Much interest was shown in that por- tion of Dr. Patton’s speech in which he outlined his plans for establishing a law school at Princeton. He said that as soon as the neces- sary fund were secured that the buildings would be erected and a corps of professors se- cured, ART NOTES. How many persons in Washington know that there is open daily in the city an exhibition room where the work of local artists may at all times be seen? Very few, evidently, judging from the small number of visitors, Yet such aplace, under the title of “The Avenue Art Gallery,” has been open for some time,—up stairs next to Brentano's, as indicated by the modest little sign at the door. It was started by and has sinee been conducted under the general bee pebtoeer) of Mr. A. - sory for — purpose of giving a permanent an ly pI of exhibition to focal ark with, of course, some necessary selection. Although a slight admis- sion fee is charged, in order to meet unavoid- able expenses and to secure quiet and order, the enterprise is in no sense a commercial one. Exhibitors have comphmentary cards, without limit, for disposal to friends, and any surplus remaining above expenses will be given to ap- Proved local charities. As stated above, the gallery is open every day, but Saturday after- noons are the especial reception occasions, when some of the artists are likely to be pres- ent. The display on view is, however, at all times well worthy a visit. —Mr. Uhl has several portraits well under way, that of most local interest being one whicn he is painting for the wife of the President of her father, Rev. Dr. John W. Scott. As yet none of the accessories are worked in, but the likeness ig @ very strong one in every quality, and the painting, when finished, can hardly failto add to the reputation of the artist, —Already over $18,000 have been subscribed toward the proposed statue of the late Henry W. Grady, to be erected in Atlanta, It is esti- mated that about $20,000 will be required for the statue and an apprgpriate pedestal, and as soon as that amount is secured sculptors will be invited to send in models, —Mr. Ives’ collection of sculptures, on free exhibition at 1104 Connecticut avenue, deserves more attention from the art-loving people of Washington than it has yet received. Not only is it large enough and varied enough in theme to be interesting—ranging as it does from por- trait busts to purely ideal subjects—but the standard of the whole collection 1s high, and a number of the marbles are exceedingly beauti- ful, both in conception and execution. For ex- ample, in the writer's opinion no purer or more pleasing represefttation of ‘Pandora” has ever been produced. Equally aud perhaps more attractive to other eyes is the “Daughter of Captivity,”—(Psalm cxxvi.,)—full of dignity and pathos, while still others will see greater beauties in’ the “Egeria,” or the “Undine,” or, possibly, in some of the minor subjects, The collection will be on view for some time yet, and those who visit it once will be pretty sure to go again, —The model for a bust of the late Chief Justice Waite, upon which Mr. Dunbar has been engaged for some time, is now completed, and on view in the window of the Bradbury piano rooms, where it attracts much attention. Of course opinions will differ as to its meritsas a work of art and its fidelity as a portrait, but it is understood that in the latter respect it has the approval of the family and nearer friends of its distinguished sui petncurebvinrf Sam NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Digestion will not begin tillthe temperature of the food has been raised by the heat of the stomach to 98 degrees, Hence the more heat that can be imparted to it by slow mastication the better. The precipita- tion of large quantity of cold food into the stomach by fast eating may and often does cause discomfort and indigestion, and every occasion of this kind results in a measurable injury to the digestive functions. Ice water drunk with cold food of course increases the mischief. Hot drinks, hot water, weak tea, coffee, chocolate, &c., will, on the contrary, help to prevent it.

OTHER SPEECHES, Following the president's address, Rev, Dr. J. H.

A toast to the bench brought to his feet Judge A. B. Hag- ner, who expreased his approval of the plan as outlined by President Patton of establishing a law school in connection with the college, A forcible speech was made by Mr. James M. Jobnston, who spoke of the advantages of the two literary societies and at the same time de- lored the sentiment which had driven the reek letter societies out of the college. A breeze from the west was enjoyed by those resent when Mr. W. E. Annin was brought to Fame as woul hoous bright and witty, and his telling points were greeted with up- roarious applause.

Anew railroad is being built through that county and several thousand men, mostly col- ored, are employed. ‘The story is that Dennis Carney, a white foreman, had some trouble aboutthe work with a gang of colored men. Thursday afternoon they tay in ambush and fired on Carney and a party of his friends as they were returning from work.

The New York bank wrecks are all repaired. The third of the burglarized institutions, the Lenox Hill, opened its doors yesterday after- noon. But the repairs have not been made by the wreckers, but by the chief sufferers. The chief offender, Peter Claassen, last night slept at his own residence after an expensive sojourn of five days and nights in Ludlow street jail. The $30,000 bail necessary to release the ex- bank president was furnished in the afternoon, the sureties being Mrs, Ella Claassen, his wife, and Beruard Cohn, a real estate dealer aud builder, Within a few minutes after the eps Fae bank opened several checks had been paid and deposits received amounting to $1,500. Presi- dent Jordan made a statement to the board of directors and today the bank assets will be ex- amined, and there is no doubt the bank will be declared solvent by Monday. He said the res- ignation of President Wallack and other direc- tors had been accepted, but the resignation of Cashier Vapzandt had not yet been acted on, caren Jordan was elected president of the Thus all three of the banks that closed their doors week ago are doing business, but some- body has lost $650,000, whose whereabouts still remain a mystery. aa see How it Looks to Chauncey.

DESTRUCTIVE STORM. Wind, Snow, Hall and Rain Wreck Buildings and Cause Deaths. The worst storm in years raged throughout western Pennsylvania yesterday. Snow, hail, rain and wind played havoc. In Pittsburg snow blockaded many of the streets and stopped traffic, while telegraph and telephone lines broke down under the heavy weight of ice with which they were coated. In the mountains the storm raged with ter- rifte fury, and reports are coming in of serious damage to property. At Blairsville the large glass factory was demolished by the wind. The roof was blown off and two side walls facing east fell in. Charles E. Barr, general manager, and Mr. Burney, one of the firm, were instantly killed and a workman, whose name could not be learned, injured. Mr. Burney's body was | immediately taken from the wreck. It was | mangled beyond recognition. Mr. Barr's re- mains were recovered two hours later. At Uniontown the roof was biown off the Metbodist Episcopal church, a part of it light- ‘ing on the house of John Brown, just of the church, crushing it to pieces. The roof of the new building lately erected by the Pennsylvania construction company, below town, was also blown off. A horse and wagon, driven by James Rash, was blown over Gray's | hill The wagon is lying on its back, with the wheels whirling in the air, No one was se- riously hurt Postmaster Baker's new house was near! destroyed, also James Frankenberry's house, and Jobn N.

Fred- erick Sutterle, Mra, Forepaugh’s brother, has in- duced an English syndicate to stock a company at $1,900,000 and buy the show.

Prince Louis Phillippe Robert, duc d’Orleans, son and heir of the Compte de Paris, on Thurs- day attained his majority, having been born at Twickenham on February 6, 1869. The Paris correspondent of the New York Herald says: Regardless of the law forbidding him to set foot in the country over which his ancestry reigned for centuries, and prompted by a sen- timent that is essentially chivalrous, he went to Paris to offer his services and if need be his blood to the country which he claims for his own, This morning the duc d’Orieans presented himeelf at the bureau de recrutement, giv- ing his name and stating his desire to serve in the army like every other Frenchman of his age. The officials were taken back at this unexpecte1 apparition and referred the Frincely postulant for military service to the maire, whence he was 7 directed to the minister of war. A meeting of cabinet minis- ters was hurriedly summoned to discuss this unprecedented turn of affairs and it was not afternoon was nearly over that a decision was come to, though Was no question ay to the duc d’Orleans having committed a fla- ee infraction of tHe expulsion law of 1836, Finally orders were given to M. Loze, prefect ot police, to arrest the offender, ‘These orders were put into effect at 8:30 at the mansion of the duc d’Orleans, where he had been received on his arrival early yesterday morning. From the DeLuynes mansion the prince was conveyed to the prefecture of police, where M. Loze made out an order for his detention in the Con- ciegerie prison, pending further instructions from the government. there have been rumors For some days to the effect that the Comte de Paris resigned his claims to the throne of France in favor of his son, the duc d’Orleans, According to these rumors, of which there is neither confirmation nor contradiction, the duke has been actuated by adesire to give the greatest possible eclat to his father’s “abdication” in his favor and to the promulgation of an already prepared man- ifesto to the French nation. According to article 3 of the — law the prince has rendered himself liable to impritoument to from two to five years. ‘The follo are the terms of the letter indited by the duc d’Qrieans to the ———s war: : am “Mons, Le Ministre: I present myself to- day at the bureau de recrutemeut of the Seine to DEPART M RAICLIEF BALCLIFE! “tate aCLIFFE, MOTTE PUR TOA eco be Seu c x oe Po Ne Al MILLEK, DECEASED. eae By virtue of an order of the Supreme Court of the District of Col bo ce seecial tern of y t pemner reseed we the mattor DAKE & CO.
