Mr. Le Huray had spoken of villages where there were four cha; ts and four men were stationed to do the work of one and he wished to ask who would be the one to say which three of the four should retire from the overworked field and re- tire to new fields of lnbor. This could not be done, he wished to say, until there was @ practien) ‘unity in the org. ation of the church itself. Amin of standing in England was asked when he thought the breaches in the Methodist churoh might be heaied e had answered that they never would be until there had been a few more funerals among the ieaders.

Episcopal chureh. He reada selection from OTHER SUPPLEMENTARY SPEECHES. Other supplementary speeches accenting the fact that co-operation is one of the principal questions in Christinnity today were made by Rev. E. G. Williains, Rev. J. C. Hartzell, M. E. church, Cincinnati, Ohio: Bichop Fitzgerald, M. E. ‘chureh, Minneapolis, Minn.; Rev. Dr. Leonard, ME. church, New York city: Rev. Dr. T. 'B. Stephenson, president Wesleyan Methodist conference, London; Mr. D. Allison, Methodist church in Canada, Nova Scotia; Bishop Foster, M. E. church,’ Massachusetts: Dr. Davidson, Japan; Rev. J. E. Embry, D. D., A.M. E. church, Leavenworth, Kan, and others. Rev. William Arthur, who was spoken of by the chairman of the sessio#, Bishop Warren, as belonging to universal Methodism, was one of those who talked most interestingly of co- operation and was heard with the same atten- tion that his remarks are always sure to attract. He said that he would not wait for unity before having co-operation, as the latter might be a most potent factor in bringing about a unity of all. Competition does not kill co-operation, but competition with one element was fre- quently & practice! co-operation with another. ‘Thus while the primitive Methodists might have hart the Wesleyans Mr. Arthus said he did not think any one would raise the claim that they had hurt the kingdom of God. ‘The Salvation Army mighthave hurt the Methodist church to some extent, but all must admit that the Salvation Army had been a powerful element for good in the evangelization of the world. ‘This line of thought presented by the ven- erable London preacher was heartily applauded, and then he went on to say that however im: fo co-operation might be and no mutter ow valuable its results, after all the most val- uable thing was liberty, and no co-operation could succeed that fastened the fetters around the efforts of any sect or individual or re- stricted the field of activity of any one. MORE COMMON SENSE WANTED. Rey. Dr. Stephenson of London introducing his remarks with the statement that we in this country havea great deal of a quality that in England they hear less about, but of which he hoped they not without—namely, common sense—said that there was the greatest need of common sense in the treatment of a great ques- tion like the one under discussion. He took the ground that from the very nature of things Methodism ix the eastern and Methodism in the western section must always move along on more or less different lines, and he pointed out few of the constitutional obstacles that might oppose an organic unity. As president of a branch of English Methodism nothing would give bim greater satisfaction than to meet with the presidents of the other branches and sce if there ix not some way in which they may all work more together for the common welfare and in the interest of the cause of Christianity, for which they are all praying and working. “It will be the greatest joy to me.” he said, “to mect the presidents of the various Meth- odiste churches in the eastern section in order that we may devise some plan which will bring us at least one step nearer that union which we all so much desire, astep which I hope will be #0 wisely taken that we will never have todraw back trom it, a step thnt wall lead on to other steps and result at last ina complete realization of all our hopes and prayers and band us to- yother ag we have never been banded before.” ONE GLORIOUS USIOX. Bishop Foster, following dent of Wesleyan Methodism in England, arose and, advancing to the altar rail, addressed the immense audience. “Tam certain,” said ho, “that the sentiment in my church for twenty-five years has been ‘one of longing for the timo when something could be done to harmonize the movement of the great Methodist bodies in the United States. It seems to me that the walls of separation must fall and entirely disappear. I can see no reason, though I have labored to find one, why honored branch of Methodism BISHOP WARREN. the Scripture and then asked a blessing upon the conference and upon the eminent men who would present papers during the afternoon and take part in the discussion. He asked in reve: nd hope that the meetin, in Washington might be to the city and to the entire community. Upon the conclusion of his invocation the congrega- ng the bymn “My Faith Looks Up to resident of the session was the Rev. Bishop Warren of the M. E. Church, Denver, Col., and he occupied the already fanious Wes- ley memorial chair. = “Christian Co-operation” was the general subject of the papers of the afternoon and of the ensuing discussion, the author of the essay being Rev. A. Coke Smith, D.D., of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, Nashville, Tenn. CHRISTIAN CO-OPERATION. “The church of God,” said Dr. Smith, “is es- sentially one from the beginning. Unity is not niformity and the call for closer union isa significant sign of the times and a conscious need is but the prophecy of what must soon come to satisfy the need. The movement of the Christian bodies is not a spurt of enthusiasm nor the dream of a visionary. It is an answer to the call of God that His people should be one. “There is no attempt to bring about a un: formity of church government and form. Such uniformity would be in name and not in deed and is not demanded by common sense aor by necessity. It is right that there shouid be pliability and a degrce of freedom in the out- ward forme of church government, but the fullness of time has come and there i# a de- mand for co-operation. There should be » recognition of the equal rights of all forms of christianity. This recognition of the ecclesi- astical equality of other denominations does not imply a lessening of one’s love for his own. ‘The leaders are responsible for the bickerings among the churches. The masses are closer together to- day than the few, and the laity are nearer to a uniformity than ‘the clergy, and let the latter but take the lead and the ‘people will follow. The organic union of all churches would pre- veut conformation to circumstauces and would be a positive detriment to the interests of Christianity. ‘The call of God voices itself in the present need. Christian comity and co-o eration would remove » great berriet to the progress of truth by arousing the admiration of men. Without the respect of men the church cannot minister to the spiritual welfare of men. Co-operation is needed to reach the unevan- gelued ‘of the world, aud we have among usa thendom as dark as any in darkest Africa. We have magnificent churches, music, ritual and all that, but the masses can never be reached by these means alone. Where the danger is greatest our resources should be kreatest, and may be if we do not waste them an fraternal strife. “There are around us evils so great as to be nameless, and ! eburch alone can reach them.

They Discuss the Necessity of Improve- ments in Their Section. WHAT THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE PROMISED AND THE BAD CONDITION OF SOME OF THE WoRK ALREADY DONE—THE RAILROAD MATTER STILL IN CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY. ‘The regular monthiy meeting of the Bright- wood Avenue Citizens’ Association was beld in Brightwood Hall last night, President Norris in the chair and Mr. A. L. Keene secretary. The minutes of the last meeting concerning the adoption of a railroad schedule and other im- provements were read and adopted. airman Gatley of the committee on law and order, police and lights, reported that he had received a communication from Secretary Tindall of the board of Commissioners, relative to the petition of the association for the pur- chase of land in Brightwood and theerection thereon of # subpolice station; in which he stated that the Commissioners did not deem it advisable to ask for an appropriation for that purpose.

URING THE PAST WEEK A DEED WAS placed on record transferring the prop» erty 1827 F street. There was nothing espe- ctalty notable either in the price obtained or in the charncter of the property to distinguish this transfer from others. The fact that it was located on F street gave it more than a passing interest, especially to property ownera, It hat been some time since a sule was made of F Street property and there are nv marked in- dications that the public is especially anxions to obtain possession of holdings on that thor- oughfare at this time. On the other hand, the anxiety of owners to soll is not noticeable, and soit may be said that honors are easy. Still, as sales are regarded as fixing the Fauge of prices, if not of values, this Particular transaction was very generally dis cussed. ‘The property is more or less fainiliar, as it was offered for saie at two.l'fferent times je during the past spring. The lot niage of 27 feet 844 in ih 1B feet 85g i per ‘square f highest bid received, while ai the nest in April, no bidder oifered to pay moze en £19 per equare foot. The trustee, how. ever, refused to let the prop oat these fi which is now corded, gives the consiteration as 0u0, which is net quite $21 per square toot. The purchaser is stated to be one of the heirs of the property. As compared with the prices asked and obiained tor otuer pieces ot property on this street daricg the Previous season, $21 per foot for inside prop- erty would seem to be something of a falling off in values. Men whose judgmonts are re- garded as sound as well as conservative do not take this view. ‘They recognize that F street property, as well as that on the side streets, and in fact throughout the entire business sec- tion of the city, has recently passed through a season of what might be termed SPECULATIVE ACTIVITY. Prices reached a point not only never befo known, but hardly dreamed of. Not quitea year ago $65 per square foot war paid for the ground at the northwest corner of 11th and F reets. Other pieces of corner property were sold at prices close to €40 per square foot. For inside property as high es €30 per foot was pei. WO years prior to this $15 per square foot was the highest figure that ever had been dforF street property of any kind. The Teeent advance in prices wi refore, rapid d astonishing, and it is regarded as a stron; idence of the substantial character of the movement that now, in a dull season, when there iano special demand for this class of property, such a price as $21 per foot could obtained. 1t is not claimed that there is any property on the market at this figure. In fact higher priges are asked. But it is thought that the ‘ottom prices for inside property may now be considered to be above $20 per foot For eur- ner property the conservative figure ie re- rded as from $30 to $85 per foot. There have been no recent transactions in property on other streets in the business section, but from the offers made it is evident that about the same ratio of decline exists in prices as compared with those prevailing last year. In the meantime, however, improvements are be- ing made, and in a short time it is expected that the market price will reach what is some times regarded as the epeculative prices of last year and this year. PRICES OF SUBURBAN PROPERTY. Thero was another sale of property recently recorded which sttracted considerable atten- tion. This was a piece of suburban property, and the price obtained is regarded asan evidence that this ciass of property is not depreciating Chairman Gatley aleo stated that improve- ments had been promised for the lower end of Brightwood avenue and lights had been prom- ised for one of the other streets. He said that he had been informed by Mr. Beale, super- intendent of the public roads, that the contract for work on the lower end of Brightwood nue had been given to Mr. Gleeson, but he that the Judson Pneumatic Company owed him £900 and until that was paid he would not be- gin the work. Mr. Robinson wanted to know whata private debt had to do witha public contract. President Norris said he though: there was probabiy some mistake sbeut the matter. The matter of Mr. Gleeson’s contract was put in the form of motion and the secretary was instructed to addressa letter to the Commis- sioners concerning the matter and solicit an hE Einlde ed he r. Fields ani desired to congratulate Mr. Gatley for securing light for 6th street ex- tended. IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE NOT IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. Gatley continued to speak upon the work in the neighborhood of Brightwood avenue and said that a pool of stagnant water was left in the vicinity of the Monroe building. A drain, he said, was afterward made and it was a beau- titul piece of engineering. The water, he said, is still there and there is agreen scum over the water. He told of the improvements that had been made and said that the filling had created frog ponds in front of houses and the county was made a scapegoat. Every time any- thing w said about improvements the amount of money heretofore expended is thrown up. “What was the improvement?” heasked. “The citizens were taxed, but the so-called improve- ments were anything but improvements.” Dr. 8tone also dis oped of the matter of im- proving Brightwood avenue and said that the work wae laid in wet weather and the stones were put in the mud, covered with dirt and called finished, SOME PERTINENT INQUIRIES. Mr. Fields wanted to know if the rule con- cerning the keeping of concrete pavemente in ood order also applied to stone pavements, But the members generally supposed that there was not the same application, as it would ruin the contractor. Mr. Saul also took part in the debate. Dr. Stone wanted to know why the brick pavement along Brightwood avenue could not be completed to Brightwood, and if the brick sidewalk is not finished ‘he would like to know why a board walk could not be [ae down. He said he had scen some of the ricke hauled away, but he did not know where they had been hauled. “Where are the bricks being taken?” asked Mr. Robinson. “Why,” answered Mr. Fields, “they are build- ing some houses down there somewhere.” ANOTKER COMMITTEE DECIDED o¥. It was decided to have a committee wait on tho Commissioners in regard to the improve- ments and naiture of dar- r. = called attention to the eurbstone laid on Brightwood avenué. He understood that the contract called for good granite stone, Ao @ thin marble slab of inferior quality was id. ‘Mr. Gatley was made chairman of the com- mittee appointed to wait upon the Commis- sioners. Secretary Keene calied the uttention of the association to the question of sbade trees along Brightwood avenue, and said he would like to know whether the parking commission had been heard from, but there was no one present who could answer the question. Mr. King thought that something should be done to pre- tect the trees already ted. ‘THE RAILROAD MATTER. President Norris said that nothing had been said about the railroad matter, and Mr, Gatley said that the land of the Pueumatic company sold for $28,600 and so far ashe knew the ownership of the present road to ‘twood was not knows. He wanted to know what right orporation ‘oceny roadwa; Bought it ws Anacostia had an service as com- pared with the service on Brightwood avenue. conbors: during which iewas tated thst the mm wi was prosent service was much better. in value. The title in some forty-two acres cf the old Lyle tract at the corner of the Pierce ‘Mill road and the Tenleytown road was trans- ferred to Messrs. C. C. Glover and Thomas Hyde. price paid is understood tobeabout 275,000, which is at the rate of $1,800 per acre. Last July this pro jerod at public sale, but was withd: trustees considered that the highest ‘bid, $1,600 per acre, was not enough for the property.” It was thought at that time by the trustees that it ought to bring at least $2,000 per acre. ‘They have succeeded in securing their price within £9,000. It is evident that suburban property values in that locality have not fallen to any grent extent. Afew years ago. few hundred jollars per acre would have been regarded as a big price. In fact, it was only five years ago that ex-President Cleveland bought ce, since known as Oak View, con- ing ‘only twenty-nine acres for about $700 per acre. A little over three years ago ex-Secretary Whitney sold the portion of his farm fronting on the Tenleytown road for $1,500 per acre, and it wns thought then that he'had obtained a pretty stiff price. Improve- ments of various kinds have made since then in that locality and property values havo naturally iacreased. 1tis,"perhaps, not surprie- ing that a sale at this time demonstrates that the standard of values has been maintained. It is, of course, not intended to be implied that $1,800 per acre is the prevailing price of land in the Tenleytown region. Much higher prices hye been paid. For example, more than a year ago Mr. Cleveland sold his place for about 86,000 per acre, while last fall Dr. Busey got $4,000 per acre for his property, which is opposite Oak View. Two and three thousand dollars per acre has been paid for other choice properties this vicini A handsome building site at the southwest corner of New Hampshire avenue and Q street has recently been purchased by Mr. W. C. Whittemore, through J. B. Wimer, real estate broker, from Mr. William Walter Phelps. This lot is @ part of what is known as the Phelps square. The portion of the square fronting on Dupont circle and extending from New Ham shire avenue to 19th street was purchased in the spring by Mr. L. Z. Leiter, who is erecting « fine ce there. The ground now owned by Mr. Whittemore bas a- frontage of 110 feet on New Hampshiro avenue and the same frontage on Q street and contains about 6,125 square feet.
