REAL ESTATE GOSSIP. The Progress Made in Devising a Street Extension Plan. A BOND ISSUE 10 PAY THE EXPENSE. Taxpayers Making a Lively Protest Over Their Bills. SOME IMPROVEMENTS. It is likely that during the coming ses- sion of Congress :egislation will be asked to enable the provisions of the street ex- tension bfll to be carried. out. Last spring this bill after years of effort finally became a law. It carried with it, however, no money appropriation, but authorized the District Commissioners to have surveys made and maps prepared showing the pro- Posed extension of the city streets beyond the city limits. The map is to receive the approval of a commission consisting of the Secretaries of War and of the Interior De- partment and the chief of engineers of the army, and it then can be placed on record. Progress has been made thus far in the preparation of a map showing in a tentative Way the extension of the streets in the sec- tion extending from the Zoological Park to the grounds of the Soldiers’ Home. This |map is being prepared under the direc- tion of the Engineer Commissioner and has not as yet received his final approval and, of course, has not been submitted to the other two members of the board of Commissioners. An Is#ue of Bonds. It is probable that when the map is ap- proved Congress wil be asked to make an appropriation to pay for the lind which is needed to enable the streets to be ex- | tended and widened. The amount of money | necessary will be quite large and it is thought that the Commissioners as soon as the map is ready for record will recom- mend that the money required be raised by the issue of bonds. The map as prepared has been printed in The Star. Since then a change hus been suggested and is being considered in regard to the extension of Connecticut avenue. Instead of continuing it im a straight line from Florida avenue it is suggested that the extension follow the present course of Columbia road to Leroy street and thence along the same lines as that of the present extension of the avenue as far as Kalorama avenue, where it will strike the true line of Connecticut avenue and by means of a bridge south of the present bridge across Rock creek be joined to that portion of the avenue which is occupied by the tracks of the Rock Creek Railroad Company and which con- tinues in a straight line to the bounds of the District. Not in Straight Lines, This proposed deviation from the direct extension of Connecticut avenue through @ portion of Washington Heights is de- fended on the ground of economy, as deep cuts will be avoided and there are no houses in the way that would have to be removed. With the exception of the con- Unuation of leth street tne elevated ground ou the other side of Floriua avenue to tne east and west of loth street is not to be Gisturbed, Sevenieentn street is not to be extended and isth and lyin streets will follow the indirect line of existing streets. the existing streets trom east to west are as @ rule preserved, but, of course, a gre er width is provided tor. New Jersey ave ue it is proposed to extend in a straight line to a point on 13th street, where It Wul be intersected by the extension of New Hampshire avenue trom the north. ‘This latter avenue will from that point follow the line of Columbia road, white New Jer- see ones will be continued to the north me sion of ith street, Td OF the exten- The direct ai the streets is no: and this is espec tion east and wi Jected on the part of property holders that an attempt to run streets through this Section would necessitate heavy grading and would be expensive to the owners, as well as to the public. On the other hand, it is claimed that the direct connection’ Which is demanded in a thickly built up Section of the city, such as it is expected that the future growth of the city will make of all this locality, will render it im- Possible to retain the present. In other words, this hill will have to come down, and it might as well be done now as at any time. The Public and the Individual, However, all these as well as other ques- tions are receiving the attention of the En- gineer Commissioner, and later will be pass- ed upon by the other members of the board and of the commission named by the law. It is probable that as the result of the time and thought devoted to the subject a con- clusion will be reached that wiil recognize the interests of the property owners in their relations to the make suitable provision for the ultimate growth of the city, it is recognized as It is ob- it is argued that a misfortune that the Subdivision of property was not earlier reg- ulated by law. It that had been done the miserable tangle of narrow and crooked streets encountered in some subdivisions would not now be in existence, a source at this time not only of expense to the public but to the property owners, Astonished Taxpayers, It seems that a number of property owners are beginning to find out that dur- ing the past year and a half an assessment of property for taxation purposes has been going on. It is a well-known fact that only @ small percentage of the land owners avail themselves of the opportunity afforded at each triennial assessment to learn the re- sult so far as their own property is con- cerned and to correct errors into which, in their opinion, the assessors may have fallen. It would seem that the present assessment is astonishing some of the owners, who find out what has been done when they call for their bills. Then, for the first time, they in- terview the assessor and make a kick. It is in vain that Mr. Trimble tells them that the time for kicking is past and that the assessment having been completed cannot be changed, even if the authority of the Commissioners be invoked. They continue to cry out against the injustice of the valu- ation of their property. A line of com- plaining taxpayers has appeared before the assessor recently and they still continue to come. In some cases they have com. plaint to make of mistakes such as placing a house on a vacant lot and making a charge for an improvement which does not exist. This class of complaints is readily disposed of by Mr. Trimble, as he has au- thority to correct all mistakes of this char- acter. Valuations Rather High. But when a taxpayer comes along and tells Mr. Trimble that his land or the im- provements have been assessed at too high a figure, then Mr. Trimble feels sad, be- cause the complaint is some five or six months too late. It is claimed, however, both by Mr. Trimble and by Mr. Griffin— the latter was a member of the board of re- vision—that a good many complaints in re- gard to high assessments are well founded.

The‘only remedy now is an appeal to Congress for a new revision, and even then the taxes for this year will have to be paid as they were fixed by the present assessment. Some Improvements. The records of the office of the inspector of buildings for the past week show that four permits were issued to erect new buildings, and they were all small, the total estimated valuation of which amount- ed to $3,100.

It really is something new under thé sun. This new game is bubble racing. Marbles and foot ball have manifestly palled on the juvenile fancy in that part of the city. Tag and pullaway are the forgot- .ten joys of yesterdays long ago. Even the docile billy goat (caper guilelmus) has no attractions for juvenile jehus when bubble racing is In vogue. je way they play it is this: Two young- sters on tricycles meet; they spin along ‘side by side a while, closely watching each other to observe their respective points of weak- ness or strength; at length, spinning faster and faster, one says: “I can beat you bub- ble racing.” ‘All right,” responds the other, and they | wheel about and hustle vigorously home- soon returning with one of these ward, each new-fangled bubble pipes. A convenient tomate can from an adjacent alley lends it- | Self promptly to the contest. A bit of soap completes the combination of. accessories, | and the fun begins at a neighboring hydrant, Filling the reservoir in their bubble pipes, the contestants mount their rickety tri- wheeled steeds, and with one hand steering the vehicle and the other in charge of the pipe, they set off side by side, their pace increasing steadily with every stroke of their sinewy little legs. Bubbles galore emerge from the pipes and sail slowly in their wake, their shining iri- descent surface picturing houses, trees, fences and the gaping, shouting crowd of youngsters that by this time has gathered and is following the racers. But none of the bubbles last long; none survive for over eight or ten feet from the tricycles. The aim is to make a good strong bubble “that will stand grief” and sail along close to its master. Again and again each boy succeeds in producing a beautiful succession of little filmy spheres, and finally one, by twisting his neck square about, keeps a bubble float- ing close to his back in the still air that follows the swift rider. This is winning; this is victory—if the other machine does | not do the same thing. And there is lots of fun in bubble racing | for the human race standing by on the side- walk as well as for the two bits of human- | ity that strive against each other. —_—______ Fo all forms of disordered stomach use _ Bromo-Selizer.

The change is the result of the enthusiasm which has been developed in favor of hold- ing the international convention in this city in the year 1896. The new badge ap- peared for the first time last evening when it was displayed on the organ front in the Mount Vernon Place Church, Yth and K Streets. The occasion was the monthly mass meeting of the Christian Endeavor Union of this District and the Endeavor- ers and their friends who filled the pews on the main floor and gallery of that capa- cious audience room gazed on the enlarged monogram with manifest approval. There were several references made to the canvass for this city in 1896, and the hearty reception with which oft |the Kind was greeted showed that there ; Was no division in sentiment, and that everybody was to work for the accomplishment of this object. A number of letters were read by the president of the Union, Mr. W. S. McArthur, from promi- nent Endeavorers in various parts of the | country, expressing their interest in this | city and their desire that the convention should be held here. Among the letter | writers were Charles B. Holdige, president of the state union in Iilinois;' Matthew | Walker, ex-president, and W. A. | president of the union in ° Philadelphia: | W. H. Lewis, who is now in Seattle, Wash., and the Central Union Mission of this city. Committees Appointed. Mr. McArthur also said that it was the intention to establish headquarters in tits city and that committees to take charge of the preliminary work had been desig- nated as follows: President of the commit- tee of "06, W. H. H. Smith; vice presi- dent, L. A. Connor, jr.; secretary, John D. Morgan; treasurer, C. D. Bulla; committee on invitations, W. B. Robinson and J. J. Glover; accommodations, J. A. Runyon and W. E. Stowell; transportation, W. 8S. Mc- Arthur and N. 8. Elliott; hall, P. 8. Foster and A. H. Church; city, San: . White | well and Fred L. Fishback; press, E. | Fenwick and F. McC. B. Sleeman, jr., and T. and fiinance, M. M. Sharrel and F. C. Siggers. An advisory committee consisting of pas- jtors of the various churches and well- known laymen would also be appointed and with this corps of workers the canvass would be pushed forward with vigor. ‘The approval, as well asthe interest, of the audience was manifested by the heartl- Flower and! ness with which they joined in singing the campaign poy ty Se March, the Boys are Coming.” Copies this sofig, which was written by a distributed of the unton, through audience, and jomed in words and chorus of “Wa ‘tm 1896." The entire meeting was not devoted to Washington as the great conven- ton city, only it was evident that the dele gates were aroused on this subject. A brief ree, service was held, ster, flowers and foliage plants. The Scriptures were read by Rev. Mr. Bagby, and prayer Was offered br Rev. W. C. Alexander, Then the pastor of the church, Rev. I. W. Canter, spoke a few words expressive of the welcome to the church as well as the interest which he felt in the union and its we The New Choir. The choir which has recently been or- sanized by Mr, Foster sang a number of selections during the evening, and while they show that they have not as yet, so to Speak, got their “singing legs,” still they give fine promise for such a young organi- zation. The address of the evening was delivered by Rev. H. H. Kelsey, the president of the Connecticut State Union, who, at the out- Set, spoke of this city in connection with the convention, and said that their recent State convention had had a chance to boom another city for the convention in "96, but they had heard that Washington wanted and so they concluded to keep quiet uni they had heard from Washington. He then spoke of the ultimate purpose of the Christian Endeavor organization, and said that in order to accomplish the purpose: there must be great spiritual intelligence | and a clear comprehension of duty undér the guidance of the Spirit. A consecration Service brought the meeting to a close. ——— HOW WASHINGTON GOT THEM. A Diplomatic Incident Concerning the Trojan Relics, It was touch and go and the Trojan col- lection would have been lost to the National Museum. It would, it is true, have come to America, but its abiding place would not have been the capital of the nation. An item of diplomatic history is connected here- with. As has been stated, the collection was secured for the National Museum by Mr. Beale, the United States minister to Greece, and thereby hangs a tale. The predecessor of Mr. Beale at the court of the King of the Hellenes was Mr. A. Louden Snowden of Philadelphia. Mr. Snows den was transferred from Greece to Spain, but returning from Madrid to Athens to settle his private affairs and incidentally to take formal leave of his majesty, the royal family, his colleagues and friends, was in- formed by Madame Schliemann that it was her wish to present the remainder ef the Trojan relics still im her possession to the United States. Mr. Snowden very gractously agreed to arrange the matter. He expresred the opinion that they should be sent to Phil- adelphia. Up to this point Mr. Snowden’s diplomacy was good. However, a diplomat move to be considered successful must une der all circumstances be carried to comple. tion. Mr. Snowden appears to have disre- garded this. When some months later the forwarding agent, intrusted by Mr. Snow- | den with shipping his zoois to the United States, called on Mada.ne Schliemann to get a “box of things belonging to Mr. Snowden,” this lady was somewhat at a luss to under stand it. Now Athens fs a classical city and a beautiful city, but it is not a large city like Philadelphia. The footsteps ot the most zealous and accomplished dpiemat are as likely as not to be discovered at time. Mr. Snowden was no exception to the rule. Mr. Snowden’ intentions were higly honorable, but were evidently mot accurately defined. The question was what Institution in the United States was a national one in the proader sense. The natural answer was the one given by Mr. Beale, viz., the Natioaal Museum at the national capital. Madame Schliemann ac- cepted this definition. ihereupon, at Mr. Beale’s request, the collection was carefully catalogued by Prof. Sarpell of the American School of Classical Knowleize at Athens, inspected by the curator of the Greck na- tional museum, then doxed and shipped te Washington, oneness A Very Material Difference.
