There seems to be little going on in musical circles of late, but there is much talk, among musical people, of the marvelous cure of Miss . the high contralto singer, who has Lay Sore from a severe throat or hial affection, superinduced by Catarrh in the Head, and who has been ectly cured by the use of Dr. ”s Catarrh Remedy, coupled with the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. For all bronchial, throat and lung affec- tions, and lingering coughs, it is an unequaled remedy. When compli- cated with Chronio Nasal Catarrh, its use should be coupled with the use of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. Of all druggists. A Wosvrzretz, Wowax. MME. A.

REAL ESTATE GOSSIP. The Future of Property on Pennsylvania Avenue. {ALES OF PROPERTY on Pennsylvania ave- nue are not frequent, and on this account it is rather difficult to keep posted as to values. Once ‘and awhile, as was the case the other day, a piece of property is sold. In this instance the property at the northwest corner | of Penneylvania avenue and 6th street changed | hands. The frontage on the avenue is 3914 feet and the depth 89 fect. The price paid was #18 per foot. When compared with $65 per foot, which was recently paid for a corner property on F street, or $48 per foot for the Vernon building at 10th and the avenue this price seems to be rather moderate for good jeorner property on Pennsylvania avenne. It | is undoubtedly lower than the property would have brought some years ago. But then the character of that part of the e has | changed. As a property owner and business man in that vicinity said not long ago: “Below 7th street the scale of prices for prop- | erty decreases about #5 a foot each square as you go toward the Capitel.” It seems as if the newer business sections of the city are outstripping the avenue in the competition for trade. A great many real estate dealers and others talk that way and there is no doubt something in the present | situation to justify these conclusions. That | portion of the averiue near the Capitol grounds | expecially has the appearance ing down | at the heel, while on other bloc hich look more prosperous, there is an sbaeuec of those | smart-looking new buildings | feature of other business sections of the city.

The Attorney General Gives an Opinion as to Executive Power in the Matte: Attorney General Miller has just decided, at the request of Secretary Windom, some ifter- esting points of law regarding the relation of the governmental board of control to the act author- izing the exposition of 1893 and to the other bodies now in existence The Secretary pref- ced his questions by reciting the fact that the govermental board is seriously embarrassed b; the construction that has been placed on cer- tain provisions of the act and be says that it is desirable, if possible, to overcome the dificulty by executive action under the present law rather than encounter the probable delay should application be made for congressional erpretation. He then asks whether, under the provisions of the act, the Prexi authorized to “designate additional articles for exhibition” not already in the executive de- partments, and to authorize the employment of persons ontside of the departmental force to prepare and take proper care 5f such articles us he may designate. Further, he asks whether the President has the wer, Tey of the wishes of the na- tional commission and the board, to divide the $1,300,000 appropriated by Congress between m. In his reply the Attorney General says that in hie opinion the power vested in the Pres ident includes but extends beyond the de- ments and the institutions named, and that ¢ is authorized to designate such “additional articles for exhibition” outside of any depart- ment as he may deem fit and proper. ‘This grant gf authority carries with it the power to employ such persons ae shall be neces- sary to properly prepare and care for cles 20 designated. “The act does not impose the duty of an ap- portioment or a division of the moneys upon the President, and Ido not deem it advisable at this time to determine what rights the Presi- dent may possess in the premises in virtue of his general executive authority.

Indirectly the of the importers of cause of temperance. Taking advantage of the increased duty of one dollar per case, imposed by the McKinley bill, they have advanced the wholesale price of that article three times that amount, or three dollars per case. Following this action, most of the prominent hotels and restaurants in New York have banded together and marked up the price of the leading brands on their wine liste to four dollars per bottle. ‘This makes pretty expensive, tipple, even for weil to do people, and in facing the’ situation thus presented a'number of the gilded youths of Gotham are showing considerable “sand,” und more common sense than could have been expected of them. They, too, have banded to- gether, and while they do not exactly boycott the swell places to which they used to resort, they are now patronizing those cafes, etc., which are content with smaller profits when they want to “open a bot.” Natural result: less champagne consumed. In that aspect of the matter, the MeKinley bill doesn't appear to be a wholly bad measure, after all, does it? ee The bronze statue of William Penn, which is to crown the absurdly tall tower of Philadel- phia’s protentions City Building, is now being cast in sections, and will soon be ready to be put in place. Itis to stand on « base only five feet square, so that one foot of the figure will project a little beyond the edge of its support, — an arrangement that can hardly be considered pleasing. In both height and weight the Penn statue very greatly exceeds the bronze figure of Liberty which surmounts the dome of the national capitol, and, in the grandiloquent lan- guage of Philudelphia paper, “it ix intended that the broad rimmed quaker bat which shields the head of the founder of the city shall be the first artificial object in this coun- try to catch the rays of the morning sun.” In other words, it ix to be alittle higher than the apex af the Washington monnment in thiseity. Nevertheless it will be far less imposing. se & & An Englishman now visiting this country re- eves the dressy young men of New York and other American cities of the charge often made aguinst them that they merely ape English gen- tlemen in their style of dress. Nothing, in his opinion, coftld well be wider of the mark. For example, he says, no well bred Englishman would embroidered or figured shirt front, or ything but a perfeetly plain one; nor a dec- orated vest, when in full dress, or at any other y fe er his pocket hund- in ing a parnd ke : ef as u feature of evening dress, as some | oung men in this ¢ do by placing picnously in view 1 their low cut snirt bos ticle is a useful necessa al obje keptas much out of view as possible.

These blessings were assured beyond a peradventure, both by direct and indirect processes. In the first place, the electric light was to be a great deal better than gas light could be, and would be furnjshed cheaper. In the second place, the competition thus insured would force the gas companies to improve the quality of their output, and at the same time reduce the price to consumers. Have these things happened? Nothing of the sort one who use the electric light do not find it much cheaper or better than gas, save that it throws out less heat, and is not so destructive to ob- | of art, ete. On the other hand, gas is no rap it i ipl Ps bower . and bills are no cr. er, if any re always sure to be when the vanity | deteriorates, no matter what the price per thou- sand feet may be. And as to the matter of faulty measurement, it looks as if the electric people can give the gas companies pointers | there, though they really don't need any aid | in that branch of. the business. A case in point» occurred New York not long since, when the electric lighters sent in a bill for lighting the new Manhattan Club house for the month of November in the snug little sum of €2,200! amount of course the managers wouldn't pay. At first the furnishing company refused to accept any smaller «um, and threatened to remove lamps. They declared that the electrometer never lied, and that the current must have grounded. ‘They insisted upon payment for leak, as well as for the electricity consumed in lighting. But the clubmen were obdurate, HUMAN SYMPATHY.

The ground upon which the present Masonic Temple was built was purchased in April, 1866, and the corner stone was laid November 20 of the same year. President Andréw Johnson, once a past grand master, took part in the ceremon; the oration was delivered by the Hon. John H. B. Latrobe. Mr. Brants Mayer com the poem on the occasion. gold trowel used on the occasion had been used in laying the cor- ner stone of the old temple on St. Paul street, fifty years before, and had also taken part in the corner stone layings of th Vashington monument and of the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road. The temple which this one displaced is now occupied by the circuit court of Baltimore ity. It was purchased for this purpose by the in 1867 for $45,000. @ loss of the building is variously esti- mated from $50,000 to $100,000, but the ma- jority seem to think that the rebuilding can be done at a cost of about $40,000. A very large additional loss_was on the fixtures in the shape of remarkably handsome carpets, furniture and historical) relics. The commandery rooms of the Knights Templar, which were situated in the top story and which wore entirely destroyed, embraced the central room, which was mugnificently fur- nished, and smuller rooms around the larger one, which contained the magnificent para phernalia belonging to the Templars. In ad- dition to the Toss of the communderies as a whole, the individual members suffered greatly. Each member was obliged to own a uniform, which was, a8 a rule, kept in the building. No | one of these outfits cost iess than 2150, and | some of them ran as high as $850, the average being littie over $200. As there were 500 suits of this regalia, the total amount of this one item of loss is somewhat over 100,000. When the loss to the cemmanderies is added the uggre- gate will amount up to the neighborhood of $125,000. In the Royal Arch Chapter rooms the archives and records are undamaged either | by fire or water. | ‘orepaugh lost every bit of the scenery which | belonged to him, and Gray and Stevens lost all of their scenery and other effects, except the small amount of elothing which wasstill in the runks, The loss of Forepaugh is about $10.000, and f the traveling company about $20,000, us stated by one of the managers. The board of managers and the Grand Com- mandery were in session last evening to con- sider what is best to be done in the presence of the disaster to the temple. Marshal Ai called upon the gentlemen and showed the gram from Mr. Windom, Secretary of the Treasury, instructing him to give the “Masonic fraternity the use of the old United States court house,as the brethren had requested. Mr. Fred Brackett of the Treasury Department, went over from Washington later and formally handed over the building to the Masons to be used by them until the temple is rebuilded. Grand Mi Shyrock says that under the most favorable circumstances the reconstructed building cannot be for use in less time than a year. The old United States court house will be put in order for work by Monday evening next. city eS ed HE WAS TOO OLD TO WORK. No One Would Help Him and So He Killed Himself. An aged man, who is known by the name of ©. Shutter, was found dead in bed yesterday in the little garret room which he has occupied at 359 Bleccker street, New York, for the past six weeks. He had taken poison, but of what sort is yet unknown, for the empty phial found on the chair beside him bore no label. He left a short, unfinished note, written in pencil, in which he said he had determined to end his life, because at the age of seventy-four he was useless and could obtain no employment. The last plice where he worked steadily was atthe restaurant at 5 Greenwich avenue, and he left there in September last. Since then no ‘one knows how ho obtained his livelihood. He was a very quiet and orderly tenant, never drank any liquor, and told his landlord, Saloon ck holas’ Guntzer, that he had once y wholesale dry goods merchant, during the war and had never been able to regain his fortunes afterward. About a week ago he applied to Col. Hain for « sition in the Manhattan Elevated Railroad Eompany's office, and took with him a letter of intreduction from a railroad man of his ac- quuintance. Col. Hain refused to give him a job because he was too old, and ever since ‘then he has been downhearted and gloomy. Mr. Guntzer says he seemed particularly un- happy and despondent Thuragay and in the ‘ening, when he went to his room, he left the saloon down stairs, where he had been reading the papers as usttal, without bidding any those present good-night. He was found dead about 11 o'clock yesterday with the lamp still burning in his room. He had puton a clean shirt, drossed himself in the best clothes he had and ‘blacked his shoes carefully before lying down on the bed.
