He notices that the grass is starting in the sheltered nooks, rule it is @ matter of indifference to him whether the land is ready for the plow. He is not, generally speaking, interested in the kind of crops that are dependent upon the use of the plow. On the cogtrary, he looks to see if there are any signs of house-building. He is concerned to know if any new subdi- visions are being made and what rogress has been attained in open- ce up new streets. The agriculture that interests him is the kind that is planned out in Feal estate offices and is the result of the delib- erations of syndicates. A great deal of in- formation as to the agricultural prospects in this direction of the country lying adjacent to the city can be obtained from the car windows ny of the lines of railroad leading out of the city. The succession of flourishing settle- ments on the Metropolitan branch of the Balti- more and Ohio road from the city limits to Rockville attest the excellence of the real estate agriculture employed in the past. These settlements are growing constantly and the resent season will witness the erection of a irge number of new houses, There are | Several new subdivisions which will be devel- oped and the prospects for the coming season are regarded as promising. ‘Those familiar with property along the Wash- ington branch of the timore and Ohio road say that there has never been so much interest manifested ae at present. Capital bas been in- vested freely and large tracts of land have been purchased and subdivisions made. From the city to Laurel there is a succession of | settle- ments, some in embryo, which will be de- vel a if money and energy can accomplish it. The places already started feel the im- yalses of the new movement and houses are ing erected. Along the Baltimore and Poto- mac railroad and the Washington and Ohio railroad there is also considerable activity in property. The sections of the suburbs not con- venient to any line of steam railroads are not being negiected. The residents of Falls Church and of the section of Alexandria county lying between that place and this city are anxious to have an electric road built which will connect them directly with the city over the new bridge. The Tenleytown Electric road will be opened to travel, it is expected, in the course of & few weeks, and a bill is now before Congress to secure the authority to build a road out Con- necticut avenue extended. The brightwood railroad is already in operation, and the res- idents along the 7th street road will prob- ably soon enjoy the rapid transit afforded by the Judson system, which is about to be sub- stituted for the horse power now in use. The additional extensions asked for by the Ecking- ton Electric road will further increase the means of communication between the city }and that section of the burbs, It is | also proposed to have a street running across the new Pennsylvania avenue bridge over the Eastern branch, and a number of extensive improvements are in contempla- tion in that section of the subur' velopment of the suburbs of the city isan indi- | cation of the appreciation of the value of prop- erty within the limits of the city and of the growth in the population. The proposed ex- tension of the city streets uniform with the iu of the city is already anticipated by the w, which requires all subdivisions of subui ban property to be in accordance with the plan of the city. The growti of the city so as to in- clude the entire District does not appear to be ch a remote probability as it seemed to be a few years ago. HOWARD UNIVERSITY IMPROVEMENTS, A number of important improvements are about to be made at Howard University, which will add very much to the attractiveness of the group of buildings and will also increase the efficiency of that educational center. One of the features of the education given at Howard University is the manual training school The usefulness of this school has been impaired by reason of inadequate quarters. This defect will be remedied by the erection of @ large building, which will be fitted up for the exclu- sive use of this department. Mr. Robert I. Fleming, the architect, is preparing plans for » handsome brick structure, which will ha frontage of 150 feet, with an L 75 by 50 feet. The building will be two stories in height and will be built in the modern style. It is also proposed to improve and beautity the grounds about the university buildings. The natural advantages of the present location of the u: versity are to be supplemented by artistic surroundings. Mention has already been made in we Stak of the erection of a handsome residence for the use of the pret dent of the university, Rev. Dr. Rankin. This house will be built of brick and stone and the design is a very attractive one. It is proposed to erect on the portion of the grounds west of the main university building a chapel which | will be one of the handsomest structures in the entire group of university buildings, It will be built of stone,with a belfry towermg above the roof. The design of the proposed building is picturesque and at the same time it is ecclesi- astical in character. SOME SALES ON G STREET. ‘The interest in G street property and in other business property in that vicinity was quite marked during the week. Several important transactions are reported. The property on each side of Epipbany Church changed hands, On the west side the Gardner property, which has frontage of 50 feet and a depth of 212 feet, was secured by ® syndicate. The price paid was $69,000, which is nearly #6 per square foot. The Cowling stable property, on the east side, which bus a trontage of about 33 feet and a depth of about 76, was purchased for $25,000, which is at the rate of over €9 per square foot, The frame house between the stable and the church was sold some days ago for 22,000. The lot is 25 by 101 feet. Some of the prices ob- tained for G street property recently are as fol- lows: The northwest corner of 12th and G streets, about $12.50 per square foot; the no-th- east corner of {1th and G streets, $15 per foot; houses 1219 and 1221 G street, the ground being 40 by 9%, nearly $10 per square foot, and houses 1204 and 1206G street, the lots being 24 by 82 feet each, over $7 per square foot. The deal- ers report a good demand for this property. ME. WANAMAKER’S ALLEGED INVESTMENTS, One of the features of the G street boom of the past week was the persistent rumor which credited Postmaster General Wanamaker with being the purchaser of the orphan asylum property which occupies the upper half of the square between 10th and 11th streets, The asylum authorities denied the truth of the rumor and a contradiction was also made on behalf of Mr. Wanamaker. There was also a report, which was industriously circulated, that Mr. Wanamaker had invested in a corner lot in the upper portion of G street, but this al-o lacked confirmation. Then Dame Rumor, leav- ing G street, flew to the residence on Farragtt square which was occupied by Secretary Tracy the time of the late tragic fire and the report circulated on the sreet that Mr. Wana- maker had become the owner of that property. ‘This last report also remained unconfirmed. While it is not known that Mr Wanamaker has become interested in Washington property as av owner beyond the investment which he made when he purchased the Whitney house be now occupies, yet there is no doubt that he, like other wealthy men, will sooner or later avail himself of the fine opportunities which Wash- ington property presents for investment.

UNCOUTH SAVAGES WHO DWELL IN A LAXD OF CONTRARIES—THEIR LOVE OF HUMAN FLESH AND OTHER STRANGE ARTICLES OF DIET—A RACE THAT If DISAPPEARING. Prof, Carl Lumholtz of Norway with the breast of his dress coat glittering with medals, which he has won by his scientific achievements, succeeded in sending several distinct shudders down the spines of the three or four hundred people who assembled in the National Rifles’ Hall Friday evening to hear him tell of his ex- periences among the Australian cannibals. These shudders were mingled with a sufficient amount of laughter and interested attention to render the evening a most enjoyable and in- structive one, Gen. A. W. Greely, the chief signal officer, introduced the lecturer on behalf of the National Geographic Society, under whose auspices the lecture was given. Prof. Lumboltz spoke with a con- sidgrable accent, but made himself understood without much difficulty, between the civilized portions of Australia, which are fully abreast with the rest oi the world in art, science, refinement and business, and the other wild, uncultivated where the inbabitants are of the most degraded types. His visit to the latter region was made in 1880, in the cause of science, having for ite object the discovery of the flora fauna and aboriginal habits of that almost unexplored portion of the globe. WHERE EVERYTHING J8 CONTRARY. He spoke of the peculiarity of everything, the apparent reversal of conditions in this land, where the women have no beauty, where the birds do not sing, where the flowers give forth no odor and where the dogs do not bark; where the swans are black instead of white, where many of the trees have no leaves and many others have leaves that hing on edge, so that there is little shade; where the trees shed their bark instead of their leaves and where the fruits have their stones outside instead of in. The landsca, sre more gro- tesque than itiful; the soil is rich and the vegetation lu: life among the uncouth uatives of Queeasland, which was the province penetrated by the explorer. He went alone among the blacks, at first making friendly advances to those with some es of civilization and living with them, and then gradually | grrr inland to the rougher, leas cultivated tribes, until he reached the heart of this uncouth country, where men live in the fashion of the primeval ages and have a taste for human flesh. The “civilized blacks” are buts few degrees removed from absolute barbarism, their civilization consist- ing mainly of the knowledge that if they kill a European they will be shot. They will wear clothes if they can get them, but they are con- sidered as mere ornaments and not as useful articles, They will wear @ heavy jacket all day long with the sun making a record of 125 or 126 degrees. and then at night when the temperature gets down to the other extreme and one almost freezes they take off all garments and lie hud- died together in their grass huts shivering. Nevertheless, there are but few coughs or colds to be found among them until they begin to imbibe civilization and put on clothes, when they cold, catch fevers and sicken and die. ‘Ty object to any kind of work and are sometimes too lazy to search for food. CHILDLIKE AND BLAND, In all of their characteristics they are like children, the creatures of the caprice of the moment, tricky, untrustworthy, without any idea of truth and no reasoning perceptions. The result is that a white ‘Australian will never let a black man get behind him, for he would kill is ever present and the slightest emotion of pique, envy, avarice, will lead to a cruel murder, They are tall and slender, rather raceful, but with less bodily strength than the European, Their features are typically negro— flat noses, low foreheads and broad mouths, ‘The eyes peer keenly out from their heavy brows until age turns the whit-s yellow and a fiendish look of a beastly nature supervenes, ‘Their teeth are naturally white and regular, | but are used for so many purposes of which a | white man would never dream that they soon become broken and worn down to the gums. | When a back tooth aches blood is sucked from | the cheek of the sufferer by a brother. When pee placed against it and a sharp blow dis- jodges it. The old women are extremely ugly and would be killed off by the men if it were not that they are of service in hunting tood. QUEER ARTICLES OF FooD, The food consists of horse flesh, lizards, larvw, and nearly everything that moves, Fruits are not eaten much, but there is a queer mixture of grains and other vegetable matter, laboriously prepared so as to remove the nat- ural poison. It is very disagreeable to the taste and has little nutrition, so that one has to eat an enormous guantity of it. There is a certain white wood grub, about the size of fiuger, that is esteemed a great delicacy, It is laced on hot ashes and soon crisps. When omelet. both in color and taste. The appetite for human flesh is noticeable in all of the un- civilized tribes, aud is gratified whenever there ix au opportunity. One will never eat another of the sume tribe, but considers a man of another tribe ae legitimate prey. White mau's meat, they say, makes them sick, so that a | European is safe from their cannibalism, but he wiil be killed tor a pipe of tobacco, China- men sre regarded as very toothsome, but are rare delicacies, REGARDED AS RARE MORSELS. The palm of the hand and the thigh are the parts most relished, but the entire body will be euten if the captors are very hungry. The flesh is always broiled by being placed in hot ashes or wrapped in grass and put into the fire. ‘The kidueys are first cut out, aw that insures good fortune. During Prof. Lumholtz’s stay there were two or three bincks of other tribes killed and eaten, and one or two children.

CAR- NEGIE AND THE AUTHORS—HOW RAPID TRANSIT HAS INCREASED HEART DISEASE, Correspondence of Tax EVENING Stan. New York, April 4. At this writing it is uncertain just what direction the impending disclosures in the Plummer failure will take, and in the absence of positive information opinion is still divided in the case, though most people have settled down into the conviction that he was either a fool or aknave, If he is the victim of circum- stances or of a wicked partner it was because of an indifference which 18 a very close remove from folly or actual crime, and the only other alternative seems to be the harsh one which He drew a contrast | involves him in a willingness, if rot a purpose, to defraud on a colossal scale. When the house of John F. Plummer & Co. failed a fortnight ago only kinds words were heard of the bank- rupts, and the surprise was universal that the concern had toppled over in ruin, At that time the nominal assets were said to ex- ceed the liabilities, and it was hoped that the firm might resume. Buta few days ago the ug- hest whispers began to circulate and yesterday these came to the surface in the newspapers, Yesterday and today the blackest rumors have been flying thick and fast. You will probably learn the latest facts in the cuse in Saturday's dispatches, so I shall merely say now that Mr. Plummer stands not merely a ruined, but a disgraced man, He wmay atill be able toclear himself at the expense of Mr. Darling, his partner, but for the time being certainly even bis friends shake their heads and gay it looks very bad. THE LAWYERS IN THE CAsE. It has been denied that Mr. Choate has re. tired from the case on account of its vicious features, but the suspicious circumstance re- mains that he has practically retired and that Richard T. Newcomb, who has a pretty tough legal stomach for clients, has taken his place as the active counsel. It is also declared to- day that the report of the meagerness of the assets are exaggerated. And still I was as- sured yesterday by a man intimately acquainted with dry goods, New York and a life-long friend of Plummer that. aside from a certain class of creditors, he might not pay a cent on the dollar. It is common talk that some of the shrewdest banks in the city have been badly caught on his unendorsed paper. Of course the assignee and other interested parties put the best face on it, but very few hope that the house can pay anything like a decent rate on ite debts. The ominous feature of it all is that the condition of this house may be typical of many. I+ is idle to strive to disguise the anx- iety which prevails in the dry goods trade. There is an enormous volume of business trans- acted both at wholesale and retail, but the competition is so cruel that profits have almost disappeared. The woolen men in particular are in a desperate mood, With Congress and the weather both to combat many of them are | about ready to throw up the sponge. MAYOR GRANT, Yesterday I met Mayor Grant walking up Broadway looking very much the worse for the wear and tear of the last ten days. He hada very jaded appearance, and, as he walked, was leaning heavily upon a thick stick after the then be in danger of his life. The tendency to | afront tooth becomes out of order a wooden | Recken open the inside is found to resemble an | loving care.

It was only a very few {months ago that people were saying |that it seemed as if anything was pos- sible to this citan and lucky young Irish- American, ‘They prophesied that his next step would be to the governorship. and some even went so far as to locate him in the White House. But he has now experienced the other extreme of the same fickleness of popular favor that so suddenly lifted him to fame, It was his record as sheriff and alderman that gave him his peculiar reputation. It has now been clearly shown that as sheriff he consented | to all sorts of iniquities, aud to some extent | shared in the pecuniary benefits of this crook- | jedness. While no one has attacked his al manic record it is still charged that he has con- | nived with» new ring which helped itself to | the best street railroad franchises in the city. THE AUTHORS. Andrew Carnegie’s gift of $10,000 to the Authors’ Club of this city is very seceptable, though its force is a little weakened by » rumor which is circulated to the effect that he in- tended to imitate Edwin Booth’s gift to the Players’ Club and present the authors’ with a ciub house. However, the gift as it stands is a | substantial subvention to one of the modest | but interesting clubs of New York, Among the working authors of the city the clab is very popular, [talso includes in its non-resident | membership most of the leading authors of the } country, and its ‘Ihursday evening reanions | form one of the choice literary gatherings of New York. | _ A new publishing venture is that of the Orn- all Press, under the charge of Mr. George L. | Kilmer, who was the editor of the Century war | papers. This company proposes’to issue a hovel a week, buying the copyrights from the authors without reference to their literary prominence, but busing their purchases solely upon what they consider the merit of the work. ‘hey are now conducting negotiations on that basis with a number of the younger American “hopefuls,” some of whom are gind to give up the some: | | what precarious prospect of future dazzling royalties for a substantial if not dazzling sum | “down.” ! RAPID TRANSIT AND HEART DISEASE, | The serenely impurtial spirit of trade is il-; lustrated by a terse but comprehensive sign on south Sth avenue, putup in plain sight of passengers on the passing elevated trains and containing the brief statement, “Hearse and circus plumes.” Apropos of the olevated, on Tuesday » woman dropped dead just as she | stepped on one of the bridge cars after hurry- | ing up the steps, which incident vattracts re- newed attention to the recognized fact that the building of the elevated roads has increared the number of casas of | heart disease in New York. It is human} nature when one secs his train approaching to ‘ make @ dash for it, even when that involves erhaps upsetting one or two women and’thil- ren in his breathless progress, and the fact that a man has really no imperative need of haste does not hinder him srom eapreones t= unamiable sentiments when the rem gate lange in his face. na ofa nse! an even apparent! ngerous!: crowded train followed closely by a hal-ompty one, but of the scores o!

In the mad rush for front seats which followed the opening of the gallery doors of the Thalia theater in the Bowery Mr. Blumensohn led the van. Dashing wildly down the gallery aisle he heard, alas! no warning voice, nor could he check him- self in his mad career, but continued j straight on over the railing down into the or- chestra chairs, 45 feet below. Besides his own leg he smashed two orchestra chairs, and in- stead of witnessing the performance he had to submit to being ignominously carted away in an ambulance to the hospital, The question has not yet been decided whether Mr. Blumensohn will demand the return of his twenty-five cents | on the ground of not witnessing the perform- | ance, or whether the proprietor will demand | one dollar and seventy-five cents additional for the occupancy of two orchestra chairs, Hesry R, Exxiot. ———— ree Writteu for Tar Evento Stan.

Reports For and Against the Proposed Investigating Commission. i Representative J, D. Taylor, from the com- mittee on alcoholic liquor traffic, yesterday reported to the House the bill agreed upon by that committee providing for the appointment of an alcoholic liquor traffic commission. The | report of the committee says that a large por- tion of the people have for a long time desired an honest, intelligent, impartial and thorough investigation of the liquor traftic in all its phases. Reference is made to inquiries by similar commissions in England which have had remarkable results aud warrant further investigations, Reports from domestic sources indicate that the® liquor traffic causes four- fifths of all the crimes committed, wastes one- half of taxation, causes the expenditure of 400,000,000 a year in drink, ineapacitates mentally and physically half a million people for labor and business, causes three-fourths of the pauperism of the country, is responsible for the fearful increase in insanity and imbe- cility and does no good to anybody. On the other hand, these statements are denied and pronounced to be the hallucinations of a dis- eased brain, Therefore, says the report, let us have an investigation and let the world know the truth or faixity of these assertions, ‘THE MINORITY REPORT. Representative Quiun (N.Y.) presented a mi- nhority report in opposition tothe bill, He says) that under the terms of the bill, while the com- missioners shall not belong to the same politi- cal party, they may all be prohibitionista, The majority coucede taat Congress has no power to regujyate the liquor traffic in the states, and it is therefore a novel proposition that it shall investigate a subject without possessing the power to carry out by legislation the recom- mendations made by the commission. Mr, Quinn maintains that there is no in- formation on the subject that has not} alreaiy been published, no argument | relating thereto that has not been | already made, It has been agitated and dis: | cussed for forty years by the people and it is an insult to their ability and intelligence to say that they are not informed upon this subject and that this commission can in two years give | them what they do not already know. In con- | clusion Mr. Quiun says that undoubted!y the bill | is one of those numerous measares originating outside of Congress uuder the pretense of some | great public be pose of which is personal advance: ‘Lhe bill is intended to infringe upon the rights of the people and is un-American in its charac- ter, Capt. Healy Exonerated. Phe report of the special committee ap- | pointed by Secretary Windom to investigate | the charges of cruelty and intoxication made | against Capt. M. A, Healy. commander of the revenue steamer Bear, has been received at the Treasury Department, The committee find that the conduct of Capt. Healy in punishing | the three seamen from the bark Estella was justifiable under the circumstances, the evi- deuce showing that they were mutinous and insubordinate, and that Capt. Healy punished them only after every other effort to restore order had failed, In regard to the “tricing up” of several of the crew of the bark Wanderer the committee report that the evidence showed that the men were mutinous; that the vessel was in an exposed condition; thatall reasonable efforts were used to persuade the men to re- that they refused to do so; that there were no courts or peace officers within reach, and that, therefore, the punish - ment of the crew as alast resort to suppress the mutiny was justifiable.
