To the Editor of The Evening Star: During the month of July myself and several others made a tour through Virginia on horse- back. On the second day of our outing we cut through ‘“Snicker's Gap,” crossed the moun- tain to the west side, and forded the Shenan- doah at Castleman's ferry. This isa most ro- mantic section of the state, rich in wild, pict- uresque scenery. It was near sundown when we reachod the ferry, and feeling somewhat in- clined to supper, decided to make this a stop- ping place. Upon making inquiry as to where we might find accommodations for the night we were directed to the Castleman farm. ‘Tis proved to be an old Virginia mansion, standing tome 140 feet above the road. ‘The place one time belongedto the Washington faraily and was the home of Mrs. Lewis, sister to Gen. Washington. Standing nots hundred yardsfrom the house isa clamp of trees, eight in number, keeping guurd,as it were.over a much dilapidated tomb. ‘This tomb, inclosed by a rickety paling fence, is built of brick and siands about two feet high. On top isa large slab, broken in two. I was curious as to how so heavy a slab could have been broken, and wastoid that during the late war a party of raiding soldiers visited the place ard, thinking tho tamily might have hid- den their valuables within this gloo my recep- tacle, opened it. In removing the slab they let it fall, and today it bears proof of theix act. So covered with moss was the face of the slab that "twas with dificulty 1 made out the i jon, but this is what I read: “Im mem- ory of Mra. Betty Carter, relict of the late Cliarles Carter, esq. She ws born in the town of Fredericksburg on the 22d day of February, 1765, and departed this life on Good Friday, the $th of April, 1830. Age sixty-five years, “Sno was the daughter of Mra. Betty Lewis, only sister of Gen. George Washington. In the death of this aimable and pious lady the poor have iosta zealous friend and religion a bright example of redeeming faith," glected and uncured for is the resting of this estimable woman and near rela- tive of uington. Some years ago, when the property passed into the present owner's Kecerom, the government then, instead of re- fence about the tomb to it since. Nature has beon kinder. The eight trees that rurround it have intermingied their boughs, jorming @ perfect bower, and, except by close inspection, no one would ‘be t lay hidden there. ‘Methinks that Mount Vernon would be a better place for those remains, or at least an iron railing might be substituted for the old m one which at present incloses the en no thought ie wiser of what tomb. oo Addresses to School Children. ‘Two delegates from the ecumenical confer- } ence, Rev. J.C. Davison and Mr. J, J.

Mr. Maclaren isa distinguished lawyer of Canada and representa the laymen of of Methodists at the conference now con- Yening kere.

Willard. His | holdings have not been acquired by a few large 1 purchases, but by a long series, extendit the time wien F etrect was almost entirely a reeidence street to the present. He bas paid ail sorts of prices. He has seen | the time when $2 per square foot was regardud high igure and he bas heard. without as- fon‘shment that $65 per foot has been paid. During the years represented by the interval detweon these figures he hus seen the city grow in population and in wealth. Ho has witnessed s development in the business interests of the city that is simply astonishing, eepecielly ia ‘iew of the well nigh univertel opinion that date tha: the town would not support large commercial houses. He has been an ¢} to » transformation that has turned an section of the city occupied by residenc 8 busy business center. Amid all thesechanges there bas been one unchanging f that {a the ‘prices of property have constantly been on the increase. The prices patd by Mr. Willard for his holdings would ropresent protty well this development. He owns the entiro south front the square from 13th to 14th streets and way down the block on both of the above named streets. There is, however. one broak in the frontage, and that is the narrow old-fashioned brick building ac Joining the Ebbitt House,which belongs to Mr. Joseph Willard. Until within » few days ego thore was another gap in his holdings, which property belonged to a lady in Brookiy: rough her agents, Thomas J. Fisher & Co., sho wold it to Mr. Willard, the cou tion being $85,000. It ie only a plain threo- story brick house, and bas been the office and home for a number of years past of Mr. E. B. Wight, the newspaper correspondent. But owing to ite location this modest house brought a price which the owners of elegant residences in the fashionable section of the city would be glad to, set for their property. As Mr. Willard is known ag « conservative investor the price may be regfracd asa pretty good ix tion of the value of tke property. It ba: frontage of 25 fect 113¢ inches, tho lot e: nding Lack to » depth of 100 feet. The price paid was about £25 per foot. The purchase alvoin- cluded au zbutting back lot 59236 feet with a3U- foot alley on the rear and side and the consid- eration paid for this part wes about @10 per foot. It isthe intention of Mr. Willard to make such changes in the property as will adapt it to business purposes. GEN. FLAGE.CR's PURCHASE During the past week a deed was placed on record transfering to Gen. D. W. Flagler, U. 8 A., a building site on California avenue, Wash- ington Heights. Gen. Flagler has recently mado his home in this city, having been ap- Pointed chiet of ordnance. ‘Like other men who know anything about Washington real estate he has decided to own his own homo, and in the near future he contemplates build ing a handsome house on the ground which he has just purchased. ‘The location is beyond the bounds of the city and isin what may be calied the suburbs.

Se FOR THE LAND OWNERS. ‘Mr. McKenney Concludes His Argument and ‘Mr. Abert Talke Briefly. Yesterday in the Rock Creek Park hearing Mr. McKenney read numerous extracts trom the testimony of Messrs. Stellwagen, Paul, Truesdell and Saunders, devoting the greater and to his comments thereon. Concluding an argument which bad occupied eight hours in ite delivery, Mr. McKenney said the lana owners must of necessity take what the ap- praisors declared to be right. In that light he trusted that they would remember that the government was @ purchaser anxious to buy, well able to pay and the land owners under no necessity for selling. There had been, there still was, in some quarters, an apprehension felt that appraiser aggregate a total value greater than’ the appropria: tion. Such fears were groundless. The park project could not, would not fail. No one doubied the iairness ‘of the valuation which would be made. That valuation migat exceed the appropriation, but no imagined it would tail to receive the President's approval. Onee approved @ claim upon the government was established, and should the coming Con- gress fail to appropricte the differeace between the ndings of the sppraisers aud the amouat originally appropriated the landowners would resort to the Court of Ciaims for their redrens. As sustaining ino great measure the claim of the land owners Mr. McKenney said that taking Thoinas Ciscle as a center of values and from that center drawing radical circles one mile apart a careful computation based upon all eales made within the respective segments of the circle be-ween more and Ohjo railroad a ide the Potomae vor ou the other, uring t six years, shows the average value per acte paid for there lands to be ae fol- jows: Between the two and three-mile circles. . $1,954 “three and four ‘* “ fou a five ary five and six aera bis e average price per acre y fornia syndicate within the Disteiot was $1, 011, and without the District $400. ‘MR. WM. STONE ABERT. Mr. McKenney concluded his argument at 3:40 aud was followed by Ar. Win. Stone Abert im the shortest argument so far delivered, one of but twenty minutes. Brief though it was, ‘Mr. Abert's argument was remarkalie for clear, effective conciseness, and was ‘devoted mainly to the presentation of most carefully prepared statistics, based upon the teatimony introduced by both aides. Mr. Abert concluded his remarks by quoting thut sentence found in the bill in equity led by the Bock Creek Park cor », wherein commission recites | that the lund to be taken 1s most available for park purposes, agricultural use, and for sub- division into villa sites. \journment to Monday at 10 a.m. was then ‘Transfers of Koal Estate.

Until that is done we, of course, can do nothing. One thing, however, which we be to publish the boundaries of the old le; tive districts. We sball do that so that after every man in this District will know to just which procinct he belongs and we wili see then that no doubling up is done, This matter will be published in Taz Stax, eo that there can bono doabs in the mind off any one inter- ested.” ose doing at once wil Mrs. Nathaniel McNames of Mich., bas failen heir to $500,000 in Holl An eleven -year-old quart of whisky and survived. land. 0 boy drank INVALIDS AND CONVALESCENTS, Restored to Health and Strength. ‘You invalids and convalescents who have malaria, mer of brain, nerve, biood and body—Dr. Greene's Nervura—which will give you more strength af nerve, vitality af blood and vigor af boay than anything else under the sun.
