About Washington’s Leading Glass Estab Ushment and Its Enterprising Owner. It is impossible to see through the work of most men, but this cannot be said of the work of Mr. Chas. E. Hodgkin, who has justly earned the ‘cognomen of “expert” from his thorough know!- edge of all the intricacies connected with the | manufacture, sale and handling of glass. Often the business makes the man, but oftener the man makes the business. Mr. Hodgkin has un- doubtedly made his business, for he began with @ wheelbarrow and a few panes of glass, and during the first few years he bad almost as many “pains” as panes. For, ae he himeelf ex- Presses it, “‘the road wasa rough one to travel.” CHAS. . HOOK Mr. Hodgkin first saw light in Washington, April 29, 1861, and, like a nutuber of other suc- cessful business men, he started out in life as a newsboy. He secured his early training while with a prominent glass establishment of this | city, and, being ambitious, he soon began to look around to get in business for himself. With a very small amount of cash and a very large amount of pluck he opened a small store abont five doors above his present large estab- lishment with a “handfal” of glass and a wheel- barrow, and, furthermore, he furnished the motive’ power for that wheelbarrow for some months, HE BUYS A HORSE AND WAGON, In a year and @ half the business had grown to such proportions that a horse and wagon became a necessity. Mr. Hodgkin could not naturally afford « “Maud 8.,”” #o he got the best horse he could for his money—some 35. The first load happened to be glass for St. Peter's Church on Capitol Hill.” ‘The horse stood the load until he got to 7th and Pennsyl- vania avenue. There he stopped, unable to proceed further. Mr. Hodgkin had to hire another team, unload bis wagon and lead his horse back to the store. He immediately traded the horse for a better one with a horse trader, and the horse which he parted with died a few weeks later. and he langhingly says today that he believes he is the only man that ever secured the best of a horse trader. From that period to this Mr. Hodgkin's in- domitable will andWireless energy has resulted in creating a steady growth in his business, until today it is the most extensive in the city. Not only does he carry the largest assortment of glass, but also ® large quantity of each par- ticular size and quality, in order to meet any and all demands upon him at short notice. To- day the business requires the services of eome fourteen employes and three wagons. His large establishment, 913 7th street, twenty-six by ninety feot and four stories high, is stocked with glass to its utmost capacity. LOVES DIFFICULT JoBS. Seven years is indeed s short period in which toachieve much of a success in commercial life, especially in such times of stirring com- petition as these. There are, in fact, many merchants in busi today who have barely held their own, and many others who have re- trogaded within that period, which facts go to make Mr. Hodgkin's success all the more marked and deserving. ‘I consider no job too difficult for our undertaking,” aid Mr. Hodgkin to the writer. ‘In fact, I have made it business to solicit difficult jobs. Before I was worth the amount I successfully placed a plate in a certain large establishment in this city upon a forfeiture of @300—the value of the plate. This was not only the largest plate in this city, bat one of the largest in America. It required the services of nineteen helpers, and Ican assure vou that our nerves were pretty well unstrung when we finished the job.” Many of the largest plates of glass in this city stand today as fitting testimonials of Mr. Hodgkin's ability in handling glass. He placed the large plate glass windows in Robinson, Parker & Co.'s, Sake & H. Honghton Manufacturing Company's, W. B. Moses’, Wood- ward & Lothrop’s, the B. H. Warder building. the Atlantic Coast Line building, Metzerott's Music Hall, and he has done giass work for the United States itol, Smithsonian, a number of churches of various denominationsand glazed many of the finest residences in the northwest. He has just finished putting in the glass in Sen- ator Sherman's house, on K street between 13th and 14th street, Mr. Hodgkin's business is not confined to this city." He bas just made two or three largeship- ts of glass to the world’s fair buildings in Chicago, to be used in making exhibition cases. Many architects and builders in this city have such confidence in Mr. Hodgkin's ability and integrity that they simply hand over their speci- fications with instructions “to go to work.” In reciting the causes to which he attributed his success, Mr. Hodgkin eaid: “I have always made it a point to be prompt in executing con- tracts, and I would turn down the best order in the world if it was stipulated that it was to be finished at a certain time and I felt abso- lutely cure that it would be im ible to do within the required time. I make it a point to have the glass ready, whether the building is ready for the glass or not, and have been told by more builders than one that I was s little too quick, as it pushed the other work too fast. Ihave made ita point to study my business thoroughly.” Mr. Hodgkin's business career should inspire our young men with new life and energy. Not many years back the average buyer looked pon the seller and his wares with suspicion, jand but few tradesmen there were who would not take advantage of the buyer if possible. Mr. Hodgkin has always realized that “con- fidence begets confidence.” and also begets business, and he has secured the confidence of his patrons by never violating it: and this fact is no donbt responsible to a great extent for his remarkable success. It has beon truly said that a dissatisfied customer bas as many friends as a satisfied one and can do even more harm than the other can do good. Hence Mr. Hodg- kin has made its point to satisfy all of his Patrons regardless of personal financial loss or ‘sacrifice. LARGE PLATES MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Mr. Hodgkin thinks it isagrest shame that the Executive Mansion should be spoiled by the small, inferior panes of glass, which, he says, are bnt relics of past ages, when large plate glass panes would make such a mar- Yelous improvement. It can be truly said that much of the beauty of a fine residence or store fronts of modern design is duc to the flaw- less, highly polished plate glass. Mr. Hodgkin has always advocated the substitution of large plates for the small ones and has one eye on the Executive Mansion and believes he will get in there one day, if only tem, iy. Mr. Hodgkin believes that what is worth do- ing at all is worth doing weil. When he fur- nished the motive power for his wheelbarrow he did that well, and today he holds the reins over the largest plate glass business in this city with the same studious care and precision that has marked his early career. If all the panes of glaes put in buildings in this city by him could sing they would, indeed, make the city resound with one grand choras. Mr. He married Mies Fannio Wilson, . ART NOTES.

Indeed, it may be said ‘that comparatively few find purchasers ontside of England. This is chiefly due to two causes, One is that British artists generally find a pretty good home market for their wares; the other is that, with a few exceptions, their work is not in equal demand in other countries with that of other Euro} artiste, There may, how- yer, come a change after the Chicago Exposi- | ion, which will enable American picture buy-| ers to become better acquainted with the pro- ductions of the leading English painters. Of | these, one thousand examples are to be sent over for the British section, and about as many etch- | ings and pieces of sculpture.

Proposed Highway Improvements and the Street Exténsion Bill. | THE GROWING CITY’S NEEDS. jaciiaictieialict Some Opinions as to the Best Method of Car- ying Out the New Law for the Extension of Streets—Various New Building Enter- Prises That Are in Progress. be made by the District authorities, especially at this season of the year. While all work of this character is gen- erally the result of specific appropriations and therefore are known ahh “a bill becomes a lew, ret = the precise time for the actual work to begin is left to the discretion of the Commissioners. During the past week the Commissioners have issued proposals for bids for work to be’ done in the improvement of various streets. Among those on list is the grading and regulating of Champla: avenue from Columbia road to Florida avenue and grading Prospect street. Crescent street and Ontario street. All these streets are in the subdivision which is known as Meridian Hill, one of the oldest subdivisions of land outside of the lim- its of the city. At the time thix land was sub- divided there was no thought that the popula- tion of the city, in the present generation at least, would pass beyond the limits except in search of purely suburban homes. A person who at that time predicted that in the year of grace 1893 compact rows of houses would line Boundary street and a num- ber of the streets outside of the municipal lines would be built up in the same fashion would have run the ritk of being classed as a man of very poor judgment. | Thissubdivision, as the lines of the streets above named plainly indicate, were made without any reference to rocts in the cityand they have remained in about the same condition as when they were originally laid out. NOW LOOKED UPON AS MISTAKES. The street extension bill passed at the last session of Congress gives the Commissioners the authority to correct what is now generally | looked upon as the mistakes of those who laid out this subdivision, as well as others which do not conform to the plan of the city. Thna far, owing to the pending change in the office of the Engineer Commissioner, no action has been taken toward earrying ont this law. In View of this fact it ia probable that the work which the Commissioners proposed to have done on these streets is not of such a character as to prevent the lines of the streets from fring brought into conformity with the lines of the city streets in the event that the extension author- ized br law is strictly carried out in that sec- tion. While nothing has been determined upon in regard to the exeention of this law, yet there is a good deal of discussion going on as to the general plan that ought to be adopted. It may be raid, speaking broadly, that there are two views which are beld. One favors an absolute extension of all the streets of the city, with the exception, perhaps, of minor deviations in the interest of economy or utility. On the other hand there are those who think that some celebrated landscape artist should be employed who would devise « plan of laying out the land outside of the city that would be an improvement on the plan of L’Enfant, ‘The latter go very strong on the picturesque and favor the retention of so-celled natural advantages and advocate swelling eleva- | tions and winding roads. They argue that | there is abundant building in the city and that the land outside ought to be retained for suburban residences, and that there is no need of the straight streets of a city brought down to grade. 18 THE CITY GOING TO GROW? On the other hand it is asserted that the growth of this city has reached such propor- tions that it is ridiculous to talk of the section on the immediate borders of the city as likely to remain for any length of time as suburban perty. Houses in rows and with all the features of city houses, they say, have siready been built along the border of the city soon as the lines of the streets outside of the urban limits bave been definitely determined thena new | impetus will be given to the city extension and a large area of the suburbs will soon become closely built up. If this is true then, it is as- serted, there is no practical sense in the talk that would provide for «ach a growth, any- thing but uniform streets on grade, broken with the avenues and circles which, together th the wide width of the roadways, are the features of the plan of the city which’ has re- sulted in the practically universal verdict that this city is the handsomest in the world. THE PARK-LIKE SYSTEM, Of course the advocates of the policy of fol- lowing the plan of the city in the proposed ex- | tension are willing to admit that if the city has,| balf-dollar, and the delivery of the ssme to te | attained its growth then perhaps it would be | ¥°Fld’s Columbian exposition uponeertaineondt just as well to try to weld onto the present plan a kind of a park-like system, which will be well adapted for suburban residence, but not suited to the needs of a thickly built center of popnlation. While the law specifies that the present plan of the city shall be continued, yet there is a clause which allows deviations from this plan in the discretion of the Commission- era. It ison this clause that the prospect of the retention of the hills on the immediate border of the city is based, and the other devi- ations which will be if the present old streets and their grades are to be main- tained. AN E STREET IMPROVEMENT. An improvement of some importance on E street between 6th and 7th will add still far- ther to the business appearance of that square, on which now few private residences remain. The historic building, 627. occupied by the Columbia Phonograph Company, is to be re- modeled, to accommodate its growing business, by the owners, Messra, E. D. Easton and Wil- liam Herbert’ Smith, the president and vice resident of the company, according to plans yy Prof. F. R. Fava, architect. The build- ing is conspicuous’ for its fine brown- stone front and especial attention is attracted to it daily by the performances of the United States Marine Band,which makes Phonograph records on the third floor. The F. Waring, guided payeiciag, The . & dist P par- lor on the second floor, now occupied for pho- nograph display, contains a remarkable 4 with me tive of stalactites, and there is a cathedral window in the rear.
