> 4 D. C., SATURDAY. JUNE 14, 1890-SIXTEEN PAGES. COTTAGE BY THE SEA. The New Summer Capital at Cape May Point. LONG, WIDE, COOL PIAZZAS. Mrs, Harrison’s Seaside Home is All ‘That Heart Could Wish For—Twenty Spacious Hooms Artistically Fur- mished—How the Cottage Was Started. eas VERYBODY is calling it the ““Presi- dential Cottage” already and visitors examine it with the interest, says the Philadelphia Press, thatevery Ame’ ican feels in the home of the chief «xcuuve of the nation. It stands high, ina spiendid lot 100 feet by 200in size. It faces south on Beach avenue, and is within a hun- dred feet of the tide line and near to the light house. It has two main entrances, one on Beach avenue and one om Harvard avenue, It is half a mile from the bay line. The view of ocean and bay and valley from the upper rooms is superb. The house isin the Queen Anne style, with seven gables. It is simple and unpretentious, but substantial and elegant looking. It is painted a dark slate color, relieved somewhat by brighter bues. For example, two of the gables sre painted « bright, cheerful buff, and a fancy comb running along the top of the house is a light terra cotta. Later the whole lot, which is now being sodded, will be surrounded by a light iron railing. The house is three stories im height, with a piazza ten feet broad running round the whole four sides, both on the first and second floors. It contains some twenty rooms. A wide curving gravel walk sweeps up to the mat entrance ou Beach avenue. One enters through a broad doorway into a handsome hali that runs almost the length of the house and is a good eleven feet broad. It is not an entry or corridor, but a sure enough hall with a great open fireplace almost filling the further end of it, and giv- ing one instantly a feeling of homeiness and domestic comfort. A broad beveled mirror in the quartered oaken and carved mantel above the fireplace reflects one’s inquiring | face and a bit of the sea beach in the fore- ground. Decorated tiles form the border and facing of the fireplace. In the center-piece is a group of three smiling maidens, who are presumed to represent the three brightest aspects of the spring of life. On each side are other maidens wandering in an arbor or pluck- ing roses. The floor of the fireplace is covered with glazed tiles of bright hues. The floor of the hall is iaid in hard wood | and covered with rugs and furnished with cool- | looking chairs and sofas of willow and bent wood. The walls are, as yet. destitute of pic- | tures, but Mrs. Harrison is to bring some pretty prints and etchings with her, and she has, too, 4 great variety of unique ornaments that will | fit in admirably, some of them ber own handi- work, THE PARLOR AND DINING ROOMS, Two handsome arches, each{eight feet wide. lead into the parlor on the left of the hall going in. They will be hung with a portiere of beads or light silk, Mrs. Harrison has not yet quits determined which. The parlor is simply furnished, but looks delightfully cool and summer like. ‘The floor is covered with matting. on which some handsome Damascus rugs were lying. The furniture is of mahogany and old oak, really | ‘y solid looking, and just exactly what the skilled mistress of an elegant household would choose. Here also there is much wil- low ware and bent wood. with an abundance of roomy, easy chairs,in which the distin- guished people, who are sure to be guests in this notable home during the coring day: may make themselves entirely comfortable. The parlor runs almost the whole iength of the hall. On the opposite side of the hall are the Feception and dining rooms, which have sliding doors between them, and may be divided, or when required be thrown into ene large room. The former is furnished in walnut, and, like the parlor and hall, is also provided with an abundance of bent- wood chairs. The dining room is, as it always eught to be, one of the most cheerful and charming rooms in the whole house. A hand- some oak table, surrounded with bent-wood chairs, and almost speaking a cheery hos- pitality, has the center of the floor. The room looks directly on the ocean and is lighted with windows six feet high. As the presidential family and their guests eat their salad at table their eyes may wander over the rolling waves. with white sails flitting out to sea. The store room, the butler’s pantry and the kitchen are placed behind the hall. COOL COMFORT UPSTAIRS. A handsome oaken stairway, with beautifa carved newel posts, leads to the upper floors. A ball, similar to that below, runs the whole length of the second floor and leads out through wide doorways to the upper piazzus. It will make a delightfal — sit- ting and sewing room. On the left are two handsome sleeping chambers. 15 by 16 feet in size and looking to the unpractised eye quite square. They are carpeted in tapes- try and furnished in draped cherry, the effect altogether beng extremely good. They are intended for guests On the other side is = large = room _carpeted with ingrain and furnished in sixteenth cen- tury oak, the furnishing indeed being as handsome an example as one could find in all New Jersey. Iwe splendid windows look out directly on the ocean and if there is a breath of air stirring it is sure to blow imto them. While the general lines of the furnishing have been completed, Mra. Harri- son will devote a great deai of attenticn to the details, for this is presumably her own room. It opens into a bath room hfndsomely fitted up. Opposite is another large, handsome room, also furnished in sixteenth century oak. It is Mrs. McKee’s room. Opening from this is a large, airy room with a splendid window look- ing out on the seaand up the valley. ‘This is to be the nursery, and adjoining it is asmaller room, very prettily furnished, for a nurse. At the head of the back stairs is another large room, very prettily furnished. ihe rear part of the third floor is divided into four handsome sleeping chambers. all nicely furnished and provided with quaintly curved dormer windows in the gables. The whole front of the floor is thrown into one large apartment 19 by 40 feet in size. It is intended fora billiard room, the President is very fond of the exhilara’ sport. The billiard table, however, isnot there as yet, and, quite as m. Finally, the other day. Mr. McKean, with Postmaster General Wana- maker, as related in the Press, went down to Washington, called at the White House and presented to Mrs. Harrison the deed and keys tothe handsome and completely furnished house, about which, all this time, she had never heard'a word. The newspapers have already told how, with mingled surprise and delight, Mrs. Harrison accepted this token of regard from her visitors and those whom they rep- resented. ALMOST SURROUNDED BY WATER. It is not surprising, indeed, that Mrs. Harri- son should have had recollections so agreeable of Cape May Point, for quite aside and apart from the cordial hospitality which she re- ceived as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wana- maker, the place is one of the most delight- ful im the country, and is particularly agree- able to one of Mrs. Harrison's refined and impressionable tastes. One has here in remarkable combination all the delights of the rolling sea, the smooth, shining Dela- ware bay, rich farm land and a placid fresh- water lake. Could any prospect be more uncommon or more delightful? Broad water is on almost every side. On one hand the ocean sweeps round one side of the far-extend- ing stretch of land and on the other the bay, making a great bend, trends upward. On the extremity between the two nestles Cape May Point, always cool and swept by health-laden breezes from one side or the other. There is no marsh anywhore about. Rich agricultural land sweeps down to the very meeting of bay and ocean, and m summer tail corn stalks wave in the shadow of the light house. their roots watered sometimes by the far-reaching foum of the billows. The piace is also wholly modern, lighted by electricity, pro- vided with water and gas and possessing one of the best sanitary systems in the United States. With all these advantages it is not surpris- ing that Cape May Point should have so stronga hold on the favor of observing peo- ple, or that, like Mrs. Harrison, when they come once, they are always glad to return. Besides, the means of transportation are so complete that all these advantages are made doubly precious because they are so easily ob- tained. Two hours on the through express from Philadelphia brings you to Cape May, a few minutes more on the cool open cars of the Delaware Bay and Cape May railroad and you are landed on the board walk of the Cape House, | Mrs, Harri —— 00 SORROWS OF THE BOARDER. How the Census Might Touch on Burn- ing Issues of the Day. From the New York Times. ‘That not altogether respectable member of society popularly or unpopularly known as “the boarder,” feeling that his interests are being neglected in the grand inquisition now going on all over the country, begs leave, in his usual humble manner, acquired by long prac- tice in interviewing his varying landladies with the unvarying result of absolute discomfiture to him, to suggest that an effort be made to ascertain the combined public views upon some matters near his heart. These matters, he is assured, have to do with the vital organ zation, organism and organs of society as it represented in the individ ual boarder With this purpose within telescopic range the sup- pliant would meekly murmur a few mild apd perplexing inquiries to be added (what's a supplementary schedule good for if nothing may be added?) to the interesting assortment now being propounded, Namely. Are all boarders sc abnormally fond of prunes as he is? (Of course he is; if he wasn’t why would he eat them every night, unless he was so hungry he had to?) Why is rice pudding the most healthful des- sert ‘nm the world? (it is, for he has eaten it every day for forty-six years, and isn’t dead yet—only dying.) How large a draft may be made upon the boarding houses for cannon-ball substitutes in the shape of potatoes boiled before the war in case Bismarck ge tired of talking to the papers and comes over to bombard America? A scientific (this census is known to be in the interests of science) inquiry into boarding- house soup that wil! definitely determine the exact measurement of the respective thick- nesses of the grease above the soup and the soup—when there is any—beneath the grease. Whether memory and anticipation (memory of breakfast and anticipation of dinner), the chief topics of discussion at the bo«rding- house luncheon, are nourishing or only fat- tening. Don't say anything about hash. Some boa: ers would be giad to get hash (or something else) if they could have enough of it. Bat inquire religiously into the mysterious pedigree of the Sunday vegetable. What freaks of heredity have given to one vegetable such «@ particularly pious character that it should be selectet and fixed upon as the boarder’s piece oi resistance —especially the re- sistance—upon every Sabbath day ot the year until Year's day, when he swears off? “The Sabbath was ordained as a day of rest. The boarder would like a rest from that vegetable, (The boarder always keeps the Sabbath, or if he doesn’t his landlady keeps it for him, but she is not to be blamed for this, as it 1s usually the only thing he has which is worth keeping.) In the mutual interest of the boarder and his companion in misery, the lodger. it would be » boon to discover why, wien the street door is so permanently out of order that it can neither be opened nor shut, the fact should be da: not to say nightly, accepted as additional cir- cumstantial, prima facie and I-told-you-so evidence of the total depravity and original sin of said boarder or lodger. though how even a boarder could stumble upon an original sin in New York city at the present date it would take a landlady to elucidate. What shall be doue with the boarder whom the landlady delights to excoriate, who refuses tocome on tap (the tap of the bell), but lin- gers like the water in the New York mains, which you must begin to catch at breakfast if you want any for dinner? Since “cold vitals” —and few of them—will not kill him, will electricity do it if the courts will give it achance? This query is in the interest of the landlady, but the boarder is a generous creature and he places great reliance on the courts. What would the landlady do if every one came to the first table and she was compelled by an innate sense (5 cents would be sufficient) of the fitness of things to provide as many radishes as boarders? Probably it would be best to permit the enumerator to insert here: “Refused to answer,” or “Considered an unwarrantable in- trusion into domestic affairs.” (The boarder would use here the word “economy” but that he needs it farther on, and it is not well to re- at; he learned this from his landlady when e asked for more beans.) The role of bold agitator is a new one to the boarder, but before he retires from it to the obseurity of his hall bed room let him subtly insinuate to the brother boarder, who happeus to be among the census takers or undertakers, that, now he has got the dlady on his list, revenge is sweet—sweeter “than maple sirup made out of ginecose or cakes without any— and though he is naturaily of a retiring dispo- sition (some time before day) his long and sad experience gives him courage to insist that the statistics which might be gathe: the above inquiries could be made the basis of calculations which would prove of immense value to internal nomy. Other inquiries will probably suggest them- selves to other boarders, but as the enumer- | ators receive only two ccuts a head, and there are a great many landladies, it would perha be as well to postpone a more extended inves- | tigation uutii the next census, when, if the legislatnre ix abolished, heave likely as not, the room, for this summer at least, will be used as a loungmg and reading room, for the view from the high windows is, to the minds of many people, the best to be had. The whole house » lighted with gas and will be connected with a molecular system of telephone, and there are electric calls in all the fucuis, HOW THE COTTAGE WAS STARTED. It is very curious how Mrs. Harrison hap- pened to become & member of the charming cettage colony that has made its summer home there for many seasons. Last year, it will be recalled, she spent a fortnight as the guest of Postmaster General and Mrs. Wanamaker at their cottage there. She enjoyed her stay im- mensely and remarked that she had wever found a resort that contained so many delightful elements. This spring tenor twelve of the sojourners who were here when she was last year, conceived the idea of hav- ing her repeat those enjoyable days, and this notion once planted in the minds of the geu- tlemen, gradually developed into the broader wish to have her become a permanent summer resident in a house of her own. ‘The suggestion of asking her to accept a cot- tage met at once with general approval. The lot was bought from the estate of Eliza Miller on March 3 last, and the work of building was begun two days later. Nota line was written down. The contract with the builders was made by Mr. A. H. Hamil- ton and was wholly verbal. ‘The builders did not know for whom the house was in- tended. Nobody knew except those abso- lutely in the secret. It was supposed that it was to be a democratic club house, and this romantic idea gained such ground that came to be generally accepted, until about two weeks ago, when whispers more or less accurate of the real were breathed on the wind. The house, toward the end, was put in the name of Mr. William VY. MeKeau, and the title passed through him to secured rapid transit and become a homes. One Swindie Explained. From the Lewiston Journal. A drummer who travels for a Boston grocery concern says that he sees in Maine some of the sharpest tricks that are practiced anywhere on his route. He gives the following specime: A farmer's wife bustled into a store in Wash- ington county the other day and went for the proprietor with: “Mer. B-—-, 1 bought six poands of sugar here last week. and wien I got it home I found stone weighing two pounds in the package.” ‘Yes, ma’an ‘Can you explain the swindle, sir? “I think [ can.” was the proprietor’s placid reply. “When I weighed your eight pounds of butter week before last ised @ two-pound pebble in the jar, and when I weighed your sugar the stone must have Set into the scales somehow. We are both growing old, ma'am, and I am sorry to say that our eyesight isn’t to be trusted. What can I do for you to- day, ma'am?” - For a moment the woman gazed at the trades- man over her brass-bound spectacles. Then she recollected herself and remarked that she had adozen eggs which she wished to ex- chauge for hooks and eyes. aed The Mongolian pheasants introduced into the State of Washingion have increased largely, and are now thoroughly acclimated.

The Site Chosen by Congress for the New Building. Congress, by agreeing to the conference re- Port on the city post office site, bas directed the purchase of square 323 for that purpose and now only the approval of the President is needed to give the bill the force of law. The site agreed upon contains 61,251 square feet, at & total assessed valuation of $163,633, including improvements, Below will be found a diagram of the square, showing the several lots con- tained therein, together with the frontage and depth of each. Ever since the first introduc- tion of the bill the District Commissioners have been in favor of getting accommodations in the proposed new building for the work of the District. The present building is too small and then it is not owned by the District—two serious embarrassm<nts, [2th Street ‘The names of those who have interests in the Square in question, toe ther with the total as- sessed valuation of each, is as follows: Elizabeth Kelly, $3,920: John Connor, $2,715; Alfred D.

It is almost needless to say that the officials atthe city post office are gratified at the pros- pect of having a@ satisfactory new building in which to handle the mails of the city, “We are to have what we have wanted and needed for a long time,” said a gentleman connected with the post office to a Srar reporter last evening. “On a site as large as the one we are to have a building can be erected that will be large enough for all the needs of the city for fifty years to come. One thing we do need and must have is sufticient accommodations for our vehicles, There are fifty or sixty wagons used in collecting and delivering mail. There are the little mail carts and the large van and then each of the government departments has its own wagons that come here for mail, In our present quarters we have no accommodations for them at all, and they all have to back up on the C street side, block- ing the street and making a general nuisance of themselves. In our proposed new quarters L would speak most earnestly for a large interior court into which wagons might drive direct and take on or discharge their loads under cover. The roof should be of giass, giving us plenty o light all day and protecting the valuable maii matter from all danger of damage by weather, Around this interior court all the of- fices should be located. We need all the ground floor and how much more I do not know. It would be a good. thing, I think. to have a gallery running around inside from which a general view of the interior workings of a great post office could be had. ‘This would be a great convenience for visitors aud for our- selves, too, for that matter. ‘There’s not much use of talking about it yet, for we have hardly had time to think about the details. We have adesirable site with plenty of room, and we are willing to leave the rest in the hands of the architect, feeling sure that,he will make the best of the opportunity he now has to leave be- hind him in the national capital a handsome Post office that shall be worthy of the cit; THE COMMISSIONERS’ VIEWS. Commissioner Douglass, speaking to a Star reporter today upon the subject, said: “I have always hoped, and at all proper times sug- gested, that the upper stories of the new city post office should be arranged for the District Commissioners’ office. The site adopted real- izes the idea of Mr. Ross that not less than 50,000 or 60,000 square feet is needed for the post office and all on the first floor. A build- ing of that size to make it symmetrical should be at least four or five stories in elevation. ‘This would give the Commissioners plenty of room in a fire-proof building and in the center of the city. Citizens are compiaining con- stantly that the offices are so far on one side of the population. The city post office and the municipal offices are all of the same character, being purely local. Wherever offices are simi: larly related to the surrounding population it is advisable to unite them as near as may, so that one visit by the citizen may often accom- pls two purposes. We are very anxious to ave this happen, and the whole city, 1 think, would commend it.” Commissioner Hine said: “I think the Dis- trict of Columbia should have «separate build- ing of ample size to accommodate comfort- ably all the branches of its municipal govern- ment. I would prefer, however, to wait a few years to accomplish so desirable an object than to occupy a building with so aggressive a co- tenant as the United States government.” ae THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE CASE, The Beginning of an Interesting Trial in a Kittanning Court. Chas. Silverman, agent of the Cincinnati Brewing Company, who some weeks ago sold beer in “original packages” at Leechburg, Pa., has been placed on trial at Kittanning. He is indicted for violating the general license law of Pennsylvania in selling without license, selling to minors and to persons of known in- temperate habits. The case is to test the recent decision of the United States Supreme urt. It presents features different from the Iowa case, because in Pennsylvania there is a license law which provides for the sale of liquors and this may raise new legal questions. ‘The evidence showed that Silverman brought acur of lager beer to Leechburg, which is a prohibition town by special act of assembly; that he engaged a room, stored it and sold it generally, and that he had a wagon and distrib- uted it. The beer was in eight and 16-gallon kegs, stamped with government stamps, It’ appears that the beer was originally shipped from Ohio to one Wolff, a Pitisburg wholesaler, who shipped it to Silverman, and the qu pstion has been raised whether the re- the goods beyond the deci- sion of the United States court. - see MULES TENACIOUS OF LIFE. Nine Live in a Mine tor Twenty-six Days Without Food or Water. A party of mine experts under the direction of Superintendent Gay, while exploring the Neil- son shaft at Shamokin Wednesday morning to ascertain the condition of workings, were sur- prised to find that twelve of the sixteen mules that had been in the mine since the fire of nearly a month ago were still alive, having been without food and water for twenty-six days, Eleven of the mules were standing and one was lying down almost dead, Three of them were untied at the time of the fire, and had found some hay and feed and were looking well and fat. The unfortunate nine having been tied could not help themselves and are almost skeletons, ‘The first food offered was hay, but this they refused.

LARGE SUMS OF MONEY REPRESENTED BY THESE STOCK COMPANSES—SOME OF THEIR RECENT OPERATIONS—NEW HOUSES BEING ERECTED AND OTHER MATTERS OF INTEREST. A new method of handling large tracts of suburban property has recently been intro- duced here. Instead of forming syndicates for the purchase and development of land stock companies have in several instances been or- ganized, The stock is, of course, based on the value of the land, and by its issue in shares of 100 or more it is possible to secure the co- operation of large number of people, Here- tofore, when large deals of this character have been made, a number of individuals who could command considerable ready cash formed a syndicate The land purchased remained un- divided the property of the syndicate, the in- terests of each being represented by certifi- cates, The profits were divided pro rata, according to the interests held by ‘each one. As long as property could be purchased at comparatively low fig- ures this was found to be an easy method of handling it But it seems now that in the development of the suburbs and in the advance of values a large capital is required and hehce companits have been formed, ‘The first com- pany of this kind the organization of which was announced is the Takoma Loan and Trust Company, It controls a tract of land on the Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad between Takoma Park and Silver Springs. The capital is $100,000, and it is pro- posed to subdivide the land, lay it off into building lots, and make improvements of various kinds. Mr. B. F. Gilbert is the president, and associated —_ with him in the | management are Henry M. Baker, J. 8S. Swormstedt, Fred 8. Pratt, 8. 8S. Shedd, Woodbury Blair. E. South- ard Parker and others. Another company has been formed, which will aiso develop suburban land. It is the Chevy Chase Improvement Company, and coutrule about “100 © sores beyond the District line at the head of Connec- ticut avenue extended and also landin the Dis- trict. The capital is $1,000,000 and Mr. F. G. Newlands, who secured the land in connection with the extensive purchases recently made by what is known as the California syndicate, is the president of the new compan: Mr. Ed- ward J, Stellwagen of this Mr. Albert W. Lionsa of Baltimore and Wm. R. Schaeff of Hyattsville are named as incorporators. It is the purpose of the company to establish a town on their land, and when the proposed southern branch of the Baltimore and Ohio is built through their lands, as is now expected, a rail- road station will be located there. Negotiations are also in progress for the purchase of all the land along Massachusetts avenue extended from Kock creek to the Ten- leytown road, now owned by the Thompson syndicate. A stock company with large capital will control this property and it is the purpose to begin improvements during the present sea- son, When this transaction is completed it will be one of the most extensive deals in real estate ever made in this vicinity. It is prob- able that the expenditure of these large sums of money will further stimulate the activity in suburban property, ON KALORAMA HEIGHTS. Mr. Albert Gleason has broken ground for a block of six handsome houses on corner 23d and Q streets, Kalorama, from plans prepared by Architect Von Nerta. The fronts of the houses vary from 22 feet to 40 feet in width and are all of different design, although a certain harmony is retained by extending some belt courses and cornices through ali the fronts. The houses will be three stories and basemen? in height and all will be faced with Hummels- town brownstone up to the first story, and above that with press brick with stone lintels and belt courses. Some of the houses will have stone porches with columns supporting balconies in the second story. The corner house will have atower projection which is finished on the third story level with a verande and covered in by a tower roof supported by stone columns, The interior will be handsomely finished on the first story in oak, on the upper stories in poplar. One of the houses has,in the staircase hall, which is 14 feet by 20 feet in size, an arcade of stone columns handsomely carved, The builders are Bright & Humphreys, FOUR NEW HOUSES. Mr. John E. Herrell is improving C street be- tween 5th and 6th streets southeast by a row of four three-story and basement houses. They have a frontage of about 20 feet each by a depth of about 60. They are each of different design and are extensively trimmed with Hum- melstown redstone. Two houses have square bay windows extending to the main cornice, The other two bays are circular and extend above the roof, ending in cupolas. The in- terior 18 trimmed in yellow pine finished in hard oil. Mr. C. C. Meads has the contract for erecting these houses, which are now up to the first story. Mr. O. Von Nerta is the architect, ‘MK, LEWIS J, DAVIS’ RESIDENCE. The residence on Highland Terrace which was for so many years the home in this city of Senator Edmunds but is now owned and occu- pied by Mr. Lewis J. Davis is undergoing extensive alterations. Plans have been pre- pared by Hornblower & Marshall, architects, which provide for the removal of the present wooden porch and the erection in its place of a porch of stone. The French roof will be re- moved and the brick front extended up and finished with a straight cornice. There will be @ tower built on the east side. The hot water stem of heating will be put in the house and other changes will be made. A NEW NEWSPAPER OFFICE, An important improvement will be made by Mr. George E. Lemon. He has purchased ground on the north side of New York avenue uear 18th street and proposes to erect there a handsome building, which he intends to make a model newspapcr office. His weekly paper will be issued from the new building and the accommodations for the writers, the printers and the pressmen will be modeled after the best types of printing offices in this country. The building will adjoin the Octagon House, which is one of the oldest residences in the city. This section of the city,which was many years ago one of the fashionable residence por- tions of the city and of late years has been somewhat neglected, has taken a new lease on life. Anumber of handsome improvements have recently been made there and others are in contemplation, IMPROVING A RESIDENCE. Mrs. C. B. Johnson will make quite an ex- tensive improvement to her home, No. 1607 16th street, from plans prepared by Mr. T. F. Schneider, architect. The improvements will consist of an entire new front of a very pretty and artistic design of brown stone and brick. ‘The stone work will extend up to the sills of the first story windows, solidly, and throughont the front stone will be used with good effect, A large stone porch and swell bay complete the frout. Many changes will be made in the in- terior, including the addition of another story on the rear. A HANDSOME SUBURBAN PLACR. Mr. Lawrence Sands is making extensive alterations in his handsome residence on the Woodley lane road. When the plans are car- ried out the exterior walls will be constructed entirely of brick instead of, as in the original design, of brick with a frame superstructure. Perhaps the most notable change will be the extension of the dining room, which will make a room 18 by 30 feet. There will be a wide hall extending through the center of the house, which, like the dining room, will be finished in oak, On the right-of the hall will be the li- brary und on the left two parlors. A tower at the west coruer will complete the very attract- ive design of the house. The lawn in front of | the house, extending down to Woodiey lane, is terreced, and the grade will conform with the terrace, which is being made along the land that is now being graded and subdivided, and willextend all the way to the bridge across Rock creek, THE TRACY HOUSE. The ruined walls of the house occupied by Secretary Tracy at the time of the disastrous fire last spring are now being taken down. The roperty is owned by Capt. A. C.
