Distinguished Instructors and Favor- able Conditions. FACULTIES FOR THE YEAR. No city in the land presents qo many ad- ‘vantages to those who enter upon the study of the law as Washington. Here are to be found all the departments of the govern- men: which pertain to either the making, executing or interpreting of the laws of the country. Congress, the Supreme Court and the executive departments. with their man- ifold functions, all offer to the student op- Portunity for study, either of a special or general character, which is unsurpassed by mny other locality in the United States. Not least among the advantages to be de- Wived by the student here in this city is the easy access which he has to the magnificent collection of law books which ts known as the law library of Congress. The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia has the common law, equity, criminal and probate jurisdiction of a state court in the states, Besides that of the circuit and district courts of the United States. The student also derives benefit from the fact that there fs here in the District no “code” of either Substantive law or procedure, and no very extensive statutory provisions. This obvi- ates the tendency, observable at so many Jaw schools, toward consuming the time and down the memory of the student wie focal enactments which will be of worse than no service to him when ke re- moves to another locality after graduation. ‘The jurisprudence of the District remains almost intact that of Maryland on the day of original cession, February 27, 1801, and is, ‘therefore, as close an approximation to the simplicity of the commog law so constantly eferred to in the text books. ‘The law school of Columbian University @s organized in 1826, was discontinued owing to various causes in the following year and @id not resume until 186, when it was !ocat- ed im the Columbian Law building on Sth street. It increased so rapidly that in 188, the old quarters having been taxed beyond ‘their powers, the school moved into the new university building on the corner of 15th and HH streets northwest. This, then, is the old- ‘est school of law in the city. Its faculty Pits ye ts the same os last and fe as fol- ws: James C.Welling, LL. D., president, profes- sor of public and private international law; Justice John M. Harlan, professor of the con- stitutional jurisprudence of the United Gtates, of the law of domestic relations, of commercial paper and of torts; Judge Walter 8. Cox, professor of the law of real and Personal property, of contracts and of crimes and misdemeanors; William A. Mauty, pro- fessor of equity jurisprudence, of common law and equity pleading and of the law of evidence; Justice David J. Brewer, professor of the law of corporations: Prof. G. H. Em- mott, lecturer on the civil law; Henry E. Davis, lecturer on the history of law; Au- us S. Worthington, lecturer on ‘legal ibliography and the use of authorities in court; William ¥. Mattingly. lecturer on ractical commercial law; William Edgar imonds, professor of the law of patents; Judge Andrew C. Bradley, lecturer on erim= $nal lew and on criminal pleading and prac. tice; Willlam G. Johnson, professor of legal fatechetics and of common law practice.

DE JONG’S DISAPPEARANCE. A Story Rivaling in Interest a Mod- ern Romance. The story of Mrs, de Jong’s disappear- ance, for which her husband is held a: countable, as telegraphed in yesterday's Star, has excited general interest, not only in Holland, but also in England. Prior to her marriage she was a Miss Sarah Anna Juett, and her home was at Maidenhead, Berkshire. The following r: mantic details of her courtship, marriage and disappearance only serve to add to the deep mystery surrounding her. Last No- vember a young Dutchman, named De Jong, who was a steward on a vessel trad- ng between the Holland ports and Middles- borough, got into trouble on board in con- nection, it 1s said, with smuggling cigars, and was sentenced to a term of imprison- ment. While in confinement he became ill and had to be removed to the infirmary at Middlesborough, where he had for his at- tendant Miss Juett who, though her parents were well-to-do, was acting as a nurse. She was very good looking, and about twenty-live years of age. She at once at- tracted the attention of her patient, and the young pair were soon, apparently, in love with each other. A few later’ De Jong Proposed marriage, and was accepted. On leaving the hospital at the end of November he went to Holland, and the young lady did not see him again until last April, although correspondence bad passed between them. He then explained to her that he intended at once to marry her, and some time in May he put ia an appearance at Maidenhead, when he was introduced to the girl's parents. His general behavior gave rise to no sus- picion on the part of any one, but al- though he indicated that he had plenty of money and that he owned a hotel in Hol- land, he was always mislaying or losing his purse, and borrowing money from the sirl’s father and others. On June 15 last the young couple were married at St. Luke's Church, Northtown, of Maidenhead. The young man had se- cured a license, granted by the bishop of Oxford, but even before this fact, together with the fact that he refused to invite any of his friends, created only passing sur- prise. After the ceremony, and just as the newly-married couple were starting for the honeymoon, De Jong discovered that he had lost his purse. His bride at once gave him £, and her father wrote a cheque on a local bank for £20. As they drove away from the parental home the girl called out to her father that the, money would be returned in a day or two, but since that time De Jong has de- nied ever having the money. The young couple took a train to Paddington, and stayed at the Devonshire Hotel, Bishops Gate street, London, embarking on thefol- lowing day for Holland. It 1s known that they stopped for some days at the Sluis Hotel at Arnheim. They were seen at other places in Holland sub- sequently. While they were away the pa- rents of the gif! could get no answers to letters or telegrams, and early in August the girl disappeared. The man was at Amsterdam on August 1, and stayed in some lodgings, where he speedily made the acquaintance of his host- ess and her sister, Miss Maria Sybilla Schmitz. With the latter De Jong became very intimate, and soon persuaded her to marry him. This is on the testimony of Miss Schmitz’s sister. The pair visited London, and it is supposed that while Miss Schmitz was in London, her sol disant husband took the opportunity of running down to Maidenhead. To the consternation of every one De Jong walked into the Juett home. Before he could say anything the anxious mother expressed the greatest surprise that he was alone, and asked where her daughter wa: De Jong, who spoke English impertectly, said, “She has run away from me and Las gone off with zee big American.” So great was his assumed grief that he was the recipient of the family’s consola- tion, his conduct lending veracity to his tale. He was invited to stay the night, but absolutely declined, it being supposed that he wanted to get back to London to his second love. On August 21 a couple calling themselves Mr. and Mrs. De Jong were back in Amsterdam,where they stayed in several hotels. On August 31 De Jong and Miss Schmitz left Amsterdam for Bus- sum, a village some distance off, and then occurs a blank. The woman has not been seen or heard of since. Meanwhile suspicions were escited in England, and the Dutch police received @ request from Scotland Yard to ‘aake in-| quiries as to the whereabouts of De Jong, and to place him under arrest. After ‘a | great deal of correspondence between the | Dutch and English authorities, and the sus- | picion about his wife being strengthened by the disappearance of Miss Schmitz, the Dutch police effected the arerst of De Jong, who was encountered in a cafe. De Jong, it Is said, was well known in Holland before his escapade in lngland. No trace of either his wife or Miss Schmitz has been found, though the police have ex- hausted their ‘resources in hunting for them. ‘The physicians who will try the hypnotic experiment on the prisoner to induce him to confess are Doctor Renterghem of Amster- dam, and Doctor De Jong of The Tiague. The latter, though bearing the same name as the prisoner, is no relation to him. —soo— To Restore the 7: To the Editor of The Evening Star: it is good news to householders whose residences are upon the higher levels of the city to hear that some effort is to be made to utilize the two-million-dollar water tun- nel, left in a stae of innocuous desuetide | since the disastrous days of Lydecker. There was never any sense in the way in which Congress permitted itself to be stam- peded into abandonment of this costly af. fair without an effort to repair the dam- age. They do these things better elsewhere. Our tunnel is no more fraudulent than was the last built aqueduct that supplies New York city. The tunnel which is part of that work was an outrageous swindle. Thousands of cubic yards of air were puld for as masonry at $% a cubic yard. Like, as in ours, great cavities were left iver the arch, which were supposed to be ‘lled in solid. Fortunately for the Ww York tax- payers a large balance of the contract price remained unpaid when the swindle was discovered, and the faulty work was re- placed at ‘the expense of the contractors. In doing so 225,000 holes were cut in the walls and roof of the brick work. Wher- ever a vacant space was found behind them (ascertained by sounding) the spaces were | filled with loose rock and cement in Nquid form was forced into the interstices by means of a powerful air pump at a pressure of forty to ninety pounds. The tunnel is, I believe, twenty miles long. Sow, there is no reason in the world why this grouting method should not be adopted with our Lydecker swindle. It can be done, in the opinion of competent engineers, for not to exceed 10 per cent of the original cost. What business man would abandon a $2,000,000 investment when $100,000 or $200,- 000 more would make the whole productive? nel. } last y } mand, | DROUGHT. REAL ESTATE GOSSIP. Several New ~Building Enterprises That Are Projected. A SKY SCRAPER ON F STREET. Street Railroads and the Develop- ment of the Suburbs. RECENTIMPROVEMENTS. Some time in the near future Mr. B. H. Warner has in mind to remove the building at 990 F street, where his real estate busi- ness {s carried on, and on this site to put up one of the modern office buildings which have been given the expressive name of “sky scrapers.” He does not know how many stories the new building will rear its head, but is going to be high enough to overlook everything in the vicinity. This will not be such a difficult feat, although the National Union building adjoins it on the west, and on the east is the nine-story structure of the Washington Loan and Trust Company, while on the same block the lofty walls of the Atlantic building stretch toward the sky. However, in these Gays of tall buildings, nine and ten stories don’t count for so much as four and six stories some twenty years ago, when Mr. Warner erected the building now on the site in question. It was then looked upon as quit in imposing structure, and it was and very good building. ‘The front is rather ornate, in fact, too much so to sult Mr. Warner, whose taste now inclines to the plainness which 1s found in the lines of the Romanesque architecture of the building at the corner. So when the new * building rises on the site of the old one it will not be ostentatious, except in its height. It will be one of those modern giants, with frame of tron and steel, draped in stone, and not merely an average building in size. ‘The erection of this building, if it is ac- complished, will mark another stage in the development of F street. Few of the build- ings that were land marks on the street a few years ago remain, in fact, none have escaped without some change. The new buildings that have been built, as a rule, have been worthy of the commercial impor- tance which this thoroughfare now enjoys. But there 1s a good deal to be done in that direction, and it 1s believed that the build- ings of the future will be superior to those that have been erected. A New Avenue Hotel. Workmen were swarming through the old building occupied by the Palais Royal on the avenue as soon as the last piece of property belorging to Mr. Lisner was re- moved. Ever sirce last spring when the building was sold to a number of Wash- ington capitalists some of the upper floors not occupied by the Palais Royal have been in the hands of workmen. The interior 1s being almost entirely remodeled and when the work is finished it will be a complete modern hotel building. It is the intention to make it a model of its kind and the first floor opening on the avenue will be mainly devoted to u cafe, both for ladies and gentlemen. It is to be conducted on the European plan. The property cost the pres- ent owners over two hundred thousand dollars and an equal amount is being ex- pended in repuirs and improvements. The building which was erected nearly twenty years ago by ex-Gov. Shepherd is substan- tally constructed, and with its iron beams and brick arches represents the best type of fire proof construction. An additional story will be added to the height of the building. Mr. Fraser of the Portland will be the manager. A New Driveway. The new entrance to the grounds of the Soldiers’ Home at the head of ist strect west makes it one of the most desirable ap- Proaches to that favorite resort. Handsome | gates have been erected and a lodge built, | which makes a fine appearance as the vis- itors drive up over the asphalt streets which now connect that point with the city. Owing to the enterprise of some of the owners of the land in that vicinity the street has been improved practically the entire distance from the bounds of the city to the home grounds. The locality is one of the new portions of the suburbs, as far as improvements are concerned, and is there- fore free from the objectionable features that mark some of the other approaches to the grounds. Street Railroad Facilities. The development and improvement of certain sections of the city and the sub- urbs 4s so dependent on street car facil- ities that all measures before Congress ask- ing for entire new franchises or the ex- tension of existing lines are watched with @ great deal of interest. Several important bills are now before Congress and if some of the lines now proposed are built and equipped as stipulated it is probable that @ good deal of land that is much cheaper than that in the city will be made avail- able. One of the striking results of the ex- tension of the Mth street car line beyond Boundary is the rapid increase in. building operations. Houses are no longer built de- tached, but in solid rows, just as is done within the limits of the city. To all intents and purposes the urban bounds in this lo- cality have been moved to the northward, not by any legislative enactment, but by the growth of population. The same pro- cess may be seen in Eckington, and it is fair to presume that if the railroad facil- ities were provided in other localities that a similar development would follo A Dancing Academy Building. Plans have been prepared for a large building to be arranged for use as a danc- ing academy. The site has been s-cured in a handsome residence section of the city and those interested say that the money necessary to erect the building will be forth- coming when it is needed. The projector this enterprise, Mr. Allen De Cou Mueller, some time ago bought a building site on M | street between 14th and 15th streets, which | has a frontage of fifty feet and extends | back some one hundred and fifty feet. | There is an alley on one side and the plan ls now to have the building cover the entire | lot. The feature of the structure will be a/ large ballroom, with a gallery at one end) and a promenade and conservatory in the | rear. While the building will be primarily for the use of the pupils of Mr. Mueller, it| is his intention to provide such facilities that | it can be used for private parties, balls and! receptions and for events of a semi-public | character. The exterior is to be a hand- some design in buff brick and terra cotta, with a tiled roof. The upper floors will be used by Mr. Mueller as his private residence.

For sale at Brentano's, Ballantyne's, Lowdermilk’s, Woodward & Lothrop's and by the author at 121 A street mortheast. Few books have ever had in them s0 much’ of the author's real personulity, so much of genuine sorrow, so much of re- flex pain, so much of unmistakable religion of the all-the-week variety, as this dainty little volume of Miss Hallowell’s. Artistic in its makeup and decidedly attractive as to its binding, it creates a good impression at first sight, but its real beauty, after all, 1s in the sentiment that permeates the whole work, in the soothing utterances of a soul whose habitation has undergone physical torture such as only the pure in heart can endure with patient meekness. The story is a simple one, touching the reader’s heart by its tenderness and by the evidences of gratitude that are found on almost every page. Pleasing little poems are scattered throughout the narrative, and there are many crumbs of philosophic com- fort for those whose characters are formed tn molds of acute physical anguish. The author modestly makes no claim of per- fection or of high degree of literary merit in the book, of which she is properly proud; says that it is but a simple picture from the book of life—natural and unconventional; written “with an aching heart, and the hope of helping some of God's dear chil- dren.” Miss Hallowell is a member of the Society of American Authors, of which Will Carleton 1s president, and has many warm friends among those who have achieved great literary fame. One of these, the Rev. Frederick C. Cowper, wrote the beautiful versifled! imtroductory, “The Imprisoned Muse.” The volume is inscribed to Mrs. Adlat Stevenson, Miss Leila Herbert, Mrs. Leland Stanford, Mrs. George Hearst, Dr. John B. Read and Rev. Frederick C. Cow- per. POOR'S MANUAL OF RAILROADS FOR 1898. By Henry V. Poor. New York: H. V. & H. W. Poor. Washington: Robert Beall.
