The man who asl.ed the question was evidently of the impression that the values had reach- ed such a height that there was no more land of that description left in the city. Probably his idea of land values was based cn the impression which he had obtained from seeing in the papers occasionally an account of the sale of some exceptionable piece of preperty. The price mentioned, of course, would naturally be a large one, and it consequently occupied a large place in his mental conception. It is not to be expect- ed that men who have business to attend to and their living to earn will keep posted on the advance in the values of real estate unless such information happens to come in their line, Most people, hewever, have a general idea of the conditions which surround them, espe- cially whether they are of a prosperous character or not, and so it happens that there is probably no one so engrossed in his private concerns, or so far away from an interest in local matters, that does not ap- preciate the growing prosperity of the city. It is not necessary, however, that there should be any exaggerated views relative to the interests of the city; the plain facts are sufficiently gratifying and fully attest the present greatress and the future promise. ‘There is no doubt, however, that a gocd number of people, like the person referred to above, have rather vague and misty ideas as to the value of property. Many people of this class have money which they wish to invest in unimproved property, but in some cases the erroneous ideas which are afloat in regard to property values turns their attention in other directions and pre- vents them from making proper inquiries. Desirable Building Sites. If space would permit the enumeration of all the property within the limits of the ty which can b? purchased for a dollar and no doubt the publication would surprise a.good many people by its length and also vy including so mary really de- sirable building sites. A few weeks Star gave a selection from the list of properties offered to the Commissioners as ite tor an engine yuse in th north- ction of the s each ins' eit, anee, s i ‘2 of the property owners as to th eni value of property in that locality A good deal of this prcperty was offered than one doiMir per square foot. $ not been estimated exactly what ntage was, but no doubt if such a calculation was made it would be found ble proportion. W Iso irue of © city, not exeluding the it fs supposed that high $ are more prevalent.

A short time ago a man offered for f the le ad- some property located on one ing ness streets of the city. He was informed by the person whom he hoped to have as a purcha that the price was too nigh, ond that the rents would not justify it, He concluded to see whether a mn was well founded, su at revenue each building along a certain square front- Unwroughfa ‘Then caleulating cn basis of the current of the property, the income which it li yield at the rents ebtained, he found ing on the on the same ba the property which would yield on the figure named of 6 per cent.

This property is at a considerable distance beyond the present limits of the great metropolis, but the Astors, whose im- mense wealth is largely in New York city real estate, appreciate ‘the fact that the wonderful growth of that city in the past will de duplicated in the future, and that the territory now lying a long distance from the noise and bustle of the city, and de- voted to farming purposes, is likely to be brought within the city limits, A series of long-headed purchases of a similar char- acter have done much to swell the Astor millions. Several comfortable fortunes, if not mil- lions, have been made in t vicinity of this city, and it is fair to presume that the future will witness similar transactions. It is safe to say that land purchased within a reasonable distance of this city is bound to enhance in value. There may be times when certain localities may not forge ahead as rapidly as others, still it is very clear that the manifest destiny of the capital city of this nation is to bring within its bounds a large and extended area, in order to accommodate the teeming population which seems to be as sure as anything in the future can possibly be. ‘The Building Record. The building inspector's record for the past week, ended yesterday, shows that six- teen permits were taken out for the erection of new buildings, aggregating in cost $¢2,- 900. This was divided among the several sections of the city as follows: Northwest, four permits, $43,000;isouthwest, four per- mits, $2,400; southeast, two perinits, $8,000, and the county, six permits, $9,500, Some Improvements. Mrs. George W) Childs has planned the erection of a handsonie pressed-brick dwel- ling at 1527 K street Horthwest. It will be four stories high, with cellar, 40x71 feet, built of pressed brick and heated throughout by steam. Furness, Evens & Company are the architects, *! J. J. Baker will ghoi ye erect a two-story and cellar frame’ @ on Galveston street, Langdon, D.'C.! Iw will be 24x32 feet, with a desp shingle robf. J. J. Baker is the builder. R. Milton Hendergon‘has planned the erec- tion of a two-story pangs at 600 G st be 20x30 feet and heated by furnace. Jo- seph C. Johnson is the architect, and Peter Hepburn, builder, [ana cettar, 10330 feet, and pulit of pressed brick. J, Quinn is th Ider. J. J. Baker is building a two-story and cellar franic 4welling for E. A. M. Lanson, on 20th street, Langcon. D. C, It will be 24x30 feet, with shingle roof. J. T. Campbell will shortly build a press- ed-brick dwelling at 111 11th street south- east. It is to be two stories high and cel- lar, 24x30 feet, and heated throughout by hot water. R. C. Mongum is the architect. Francis Thomas has planned the erection of four brick dwellings at Nos. 1217 to 1223 Half street southwest. They will each be two stories high, 12x28 feet, and built of red brick. G. W. Diedrick is the builder. Mr. Calvin Hendricks of New York city is having plans prepared for a row of five three-story dwellings of stone and brick front, to be ip cee on Welling place. Mr. M. R. dell, owner and builder, is erecting three dwellings on Huntington place. The houses are three-story and cellar of Pompeii brick, with light stone trim- mings. Architects Francis and Schneider have plans for a four-story end basement brick addition to be built to the “Ingleside Flats,” at 1527 I street northwest, for Dr. Frank A. Gardener. The cost will be about $8,500. Architect Wm. J. Palmer has plans for three three-story and basement dwellings to be built on the east side of 14th street, near Kenyon street, northwest, for the Jacobs Bros., jewelers. The fronts will he Indiana limestone up to the second story and the rest will be cream brick with over- hanging tiled rcofs. Two of the dwellings will have a round bay window and the third will have a square bay. a VENEZUELAN CLAIMS COMMISSION. It Will Meet in This City ize This Month. The Venezuelan claims commission, ap- pointed to adjudicate the claim of the Ven- ezuelan Trarisportation Company, a New York corporation, against the government of Venezuela, ‘s required by the terms of the treaty between the Uhited States and Venezuela to organize in this city on or before the 28th instant. The members of this commission already appointed are Judge Jeffries on the part of the United States, and Mr. Andrade, the Venezuelan minister, on the part of that country. These two commissioners are to select a third member to complete the commission, and in the event of their inability to agree upon a third commissioner the King of Belgium is to be asked to appoint him, and in case he declines to do so, a similar re- quest will be made to the King of Sweden and Norway. ‘The two original commis- sioners are allowed ten days from the 28th instant in which to come to an agree- ment on this point, and the present im- pression is that they will do so within the prescribed limit of time. In addition to the commissioners each country will be represented by an agent or counsel. Mr. Alexander Porter Morse will represent the United States in this capacity, and Judge Phillips, ex-solicitor general, will be the le- gal representative of the government of Venezuela. Secretary Gresham has ten- dered the commission the use of the diplo- matic room in the State Department or the rooms in the building occupied by the bureau of American republics formerly used by the Chilean claims commission. The latter will most probably be accepted by the commission as best for their pur- poses. a ee ONS FROM THE Official Report Received at the Navy Department. No official report of numerous desertions from the Detroit before she sailed from Norfolk has been received at the Navy De- partment, but it is not doubted that there have been some. It is said to be generally the case that desertions occur when a ship which has been lying for a long time at a home navy yard is ordered off for extended service on a foreign station. The sailors contract home ties, which make them re- luctant to leave, and, in addition, are fre- quently suilen and dissatistied as the result of the enforcement of the rigid regulations that are necessary to protect the men from the numerous temptations to dissipation al- Ways present in navy yard towns. This last consideration probably also explains the dissatisfaction said to have been mani- fested by the sailors on the Montgome und this spleen is usually spent upon th commanding officer, in tifis case Cap’ Davis, who has the reputation at the partment of being a just, kind-hearted and conscientious officer. DESER DETROIT. od Work on the Capt. Bunce, a rept commanding the Maine, has t to the Navy Department upon the trial trip of that vessel last Wed- nesday. The trial began at 1:30 p.m. and continued four hours. The contractors ex- pressed themselves as satisfied. The aver- age speed was 15.1% knots, and the highest speed was The twenty-five miles of the m ed course was run against a strong head wind and tide, estimated at knots. Chief Engineer Melville, who at- tended the trial, has just returned to Wasa- ington. He says the machinery of the Maine worked splendidly. There was no heating and no hitch of any kind. The power developed cannot be known until the engineer experts Low at work at the New York navy yard on the indicator cerds taken on the trial have completed their task. But as the result of his obser- vation Commodore Melville estimates that the 9,000 horse power required was ex- ceeded by two or three hundred. Good Work on the Ericsson, Commodore Melville also looked critically over the Ericsson, which is preparing for her trial at New London. He says he never saw better work than was done on this boat. The contractors being new to naval work have had many difficulties to sur- mount in getting ready for the trial, trouble being experienced in obtaining the highly skilled men absolutely necessary to man the boat. Nevertheless, she is making preliminary runs every day and breaking in her crew, and it is expected that the | horse power trial will come off in a day or two, and the official speed trial soon after- wards, —————-e+_____ + To Search for Missing Me: Assistant Secretary Hamlin has re- ceived telegrams from Senator Squire and Editor G. H. Heilbron of Seattle, state of Wi shington, saying that F. J. Grant, ex- minister to Bolivia, who was associated with the latter in the ownership of the Post Intelligencer newspaper, was a passenger on the ship Ivanhoe, supposed to have been lost fifty miles southwest of Cape Flattery, off Washington coast, on the night of Sep- tember 28, and asking that searching parties be sent north. Senator Squire, in his tel- egram, states that it is thought possible that the crew of eighteen men of the Ivan- hoe end Mr. Grant may have taken to boats and been carried by wind and sea to the north coast of Varcouver Island. The assistant secretary at once sent telegrams to Capt. Tozier of the oan cutter Grant, now at Port Townsend, and to Capt.

SESSIONS 10 BE HELD HERE NEXT WEEK Executive Committee of Woman's Foreign Missionary Society. PROGRAM OF THE MEETINGS The foreign missionary work of the Methodist Episcopal Church will be the subject of discussion by a convention of ‘women of that church, who will assemble in the Foundry Church in this city next week. The annual session of the executive com- mittee of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society begins on Monday, to continue until the Ist of November. This is the second time in the history of the organization that the meeting has been held in this city, and is the twenty-fifth meeting of the commit- tee. In 1876 the committee met here. The present session is held under the auspices of the Baltimore branch of the society, which includes Washington, Maryland and Virginia, besides a small section of that small state, Delaware. Preparations have been in progress for some time, and the chairmen of the various committees of the local societies have been very busy making ready for their guests. There are thirty-three delegates entitled to seats in the committee and a voice in the management of the affairs of the general society. There are eleven branches, each of which sends its corresponding secretary and two delegates specially elected for the ses- sion. At each session a new president is elected, usually the presi it of the branch whose invitation has cepted. Mrs. A. H. Eaton of Baltimore, the present head of that branch, will therefore doubtless be the presiding officer of this meeting. The ether local delegates are Miss Grace Uhler and Mrs. Job Price, whose husband was formerly pastor of Waugh Chapel, on Cap- ttol Hill, Delegates Arriving. The delegates are arriving today on every train, accompanied by friends and members of their families, as well as other members of the society, and about twenty-five of the missionari. who are now at home on leave. They are met at the depots by mem- bers of the committee on entertainment, of which Mrs, S. M. Hartsock, wife of pastor of Ryland Chur¢h, is chairman, and escoried to their temporary homes, which have been carefully assigned to them. They are being entertained by the members of the ety in this city, rtual work of the executive commit- tee will be preceded by preliminary meet- n Monday and Tueday, when the cor- ponding secretaries of the various branches, who are permanent members of the committee, will discuss the general { tures of the work before the committ The public meetings will begin at 9 o'clock | on Wednesday morning, the session being | opened by a devotional service, condtcted | by the delegates.

At 7:30 in the evening there will be a third meet- ing, at which there will be addresses. All cf these meetings will be open to the public, but the afternoon and evening sessions will be the only ones of interest to those who are not delegates. The morning session will be mainly devoted to the strictly business features of the Work. This society is composed wholly of wo- men of the Methodist E: al Church, and s cut to foreign fields only women mis: ies, All of the active workers in the field are unmarried.

This organization 1s wholly self-sustain- ing, being maintained by the regular con- tributions of the women in the Methodist Church, who pledged themselves to give two cents each week or a dollar each year for the maintenance of this propaganda. The appropriations lest year aggregated $312,618. This money was raised among the varions branches as follows: New Eng- land, $32,900; New York, $50,000; Philadel- phia, $30,000; Baltimore, 314,275; Cincinnati, Northwestern, $70,909; Des Moines, Pacific, $5,000, and Columbia River, $9,335. Since the organization of the society, in March, 1869, the annual recetpts have in- creased from $4,546 to $277,303. Each branch pays for the salaries of certain of the missionaries ond the maintenance of spe- cific schools and scholarsnips. The share of the Baltimore branch last year in the work amounted to $14,275, dividel as fel- lows omong the various sections of the world: India, $4,889; China, $4,046; Japan, $3,682; Corea, $1,276; Mexico, $140; South America, $0; Italy, $192. There were last year twenty-five auxil- farles or individual organizations of this society in the district which includes Washington. These had a total member- ship of 1,335, which was an increase of over 300 since the preceding year. The Wash- ington district contributed a total during the year of $2,251.59, which is a very favor- able showing in comparison with the other districts in the Baltimore branch. There are no salaries paid to domestic officers of the society or its auxiliaries. In addition to the adult auxiliaries there re children’s organizations, known as ‘bands.” There are five such bands in this city, as follows: The “Save-all Band” of Fourth Street, the “Faithful Helpers” of Douglas Memorial, the “Cheerful Workers” of Twelfth Street, the “Always Ready” of Ryland, and the “Busy Bees” of Mount Vernon Place. The committee on program for this session has set apart Saturday afternoon for a mass meeting of the chil- dren who are members of these bands, to be held in Foundry Church at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. There will be appropriate addresses and attractive musical services. To Entertain the Delegates. The delegates and other visitors will be entertained throughout their stay by ex- cursions to the various points of ingerest. There will be a large reception to the dele- gates and missionaries next Wednesday evening at the Metropolitan M. E. Church.

Mr. Treanor had been unusually eM. cient, and he resigned only because of busi- ness engagements, which prevented his siving that time and attention necessary to properly perform his duties. His interest in the socicty has not abated, and he will be as punctual at rehearsals as ever. The rsals of “St. Paul” are progressing in the most satisfactory manner, and Prof, Kaspar, the musical director of the society, seys that his force will be in splendid con- dition when the performance is given at Convention Hall November 7. A gratifying thing to the board of direc. tors of the Choral Society ts the number ot new members that this secron has brought out so far. It shows a greater and :nore general interest in the society among thé musicians of the District, and an increas- ing desire to be numbered among the par- Ucipants In Its concerts. The directors have at last come to a defi- rite understanding with the hall manage- ment, and it can be stated that stage tor the singers will be better arranged than ever befvi it will be so arranged as to admit of a perfect classification of the singers, and will be furnished with opera chairs, which will be a great comfort. This stage will present the singers to much better advantage than ever before, and with the raised seats of the auditorium, Convention Hall will be a: neert Poom. The many friends of Mr. Richard Bur- meister will be glad to know of his return from Europe, and that he has taken up his work at the Peabody Institute in Haltimore.

VIRCHOW AGAINST DARWIN, A “Sheep Theory” Just as Plausible as the “Monkey Theory.” From the New York Tribune. Prof. Rudolph Virchow declared himself emphatically against the Darwinian theory of the origin of species at the convention of anthropologists which met recently at Innsbruck. Virchow ts considered by many competent judges the greatest anthropolo- gist living. He has probably made more measurements of the representatives of va- rious races and tribes than any otfier spe- clalist. In his address at Innsbruck Virchow dia not mince words in his attack upon Darwin, whose theories, he said, instead of aiding the researches of anthropologists, had been hindrances to them. “Darwin himself,” he continued, “refrained at first in his expla- ition of his law of development, in the work on the origin of species, from apply- ing it to human beings. There has been a jong investigation of this theory. The at- tempt was made to solve the question by speculation, and the ‘monkey theory’ was set up. It would have been just as easy to come to @ ‘sheep theory. This “monkey theory,” as Virchow likes to call the ideas of Darwin, had been harm- ful to anthropology. Anthropology today, however, bothered itself little about this theory, which started twenty-five years ago. Anthropologists had to accept the actual world, and the race question natur- ally appealed to them. It was impossible, in Virchow's opinion, to say whether or not a colored race could descend from one not so marked; no positive example existed. Such a thing in the case of an individual was looked upon a pathological event. Metaplasia (change from one kind to an- Other), Virchow declares, could not take place without anomaly. This anomaly could become hereditary. If that took place in a family, “we come upon the hereditary variation, and by multiplication we get the race. We know that a race can retrograde. Where we find an example of ataviem we must ask the question, of course, whether this atavism ts not a proof that the race developed from a being of that kind. It te almost always impossible to speak with certainty regarding the origin of a race or tribe. +00 Charged With Taking Pritbes.
