In a conversation today with Mr. Edward F. Droop, whose new and really magnificent .establishment at No. 925 Pennsylvania ave- nue has just been thrown open to the pub- lic, he shed a great deal of light on this in- teresting subject. ‘The average student of music today Is as proticient as the average professor was forty years ago,’ said Mr. Droop. “There has been a general and wonderful improve- ment in entire field devoted to harmony, and the result has been a constant better- ment of the mechanical part of the world interested in it.

TAKING THE FIRST STEPS Proceedings Begun to Secure Lands Neces- sary for Street Extensions, Course to Be Followed by Which Rights of Way Will Be Procured Through Valuable Property. ‘The petitions filed by the District Com- missioners yesterday for the condemnation of land under section 1 of the approved plan of street extensions, reported in yes- terday’s Star are what are known as pro- ceeding in rem. That is, the proceedings are against, not the owners of the land, but are instituted against the lands sought to be taken. There were forty-seven different petitions filed yesterday, the tracts being as follows: S. P. Brown’s subdivision of Mt. Pleasant; Davison and Leighton’s subdivision of part of Mt. Pleasant and Pleasant Plains; Me- ridian Hill; Columbian College lands, north part; Sherman’s subdivision; Columbia Heights; Holmead’s subdivision of Pleas- ant Plains; Purner’s subdivision of Pleas- ant Plains; Washington and Rockville ‘Ternpike Company's, subdivision; Todd and Brown's subdivision,’ part of Mt. Pleasant and Pleasant Plains; Wright and Dodd's subdivision, part of Mt. Pleasant; Haw's subdivision, part of Mt. Pleasant; Howard University subdivision; Le Droit Park, in- cluding Moore's Vacancy; Tuttle's subdi- vision of Widow's ™ Washington Heights; Truesdell’s addition Washington Heights; Kalorama Heights; Prather’s sub- division’ of part of Mt.

Future Prgceedings Outlined. It is understood that the District Su- preme Ccurt, in which the petitions were filed, will in a few days give notice to the owners of the lands to be taken that the court vill on a certain day proceed to se- lectathe appraisers. When those appraisers are selected due notice will, it is said, be given owners to appear for the purpose of submitting testimony respecting the vaiue of their respective lands. The court may appoint the same three appraisers in each of the forty-seven cases, or it may uppoint different appraisers in each of the cases. It is generally belicved, however, that the ccurt will, as far as it possibly can, select as few appraisers as will meet the require- ments of the law. It is probable that the work of the appraisers will be commenced some time next month, although it is gen- erally understood that lend owners will ia more than one case, vigorously oppose in every possible legal way the proposed con- demnation of their lands. FREE TELEGRAM DELIVERY. Mt. Pleasant and Columbia Heights at Last Included With the City. Mr. M. A. Ballinger, president of the Co- lumbia Heights Citizens’ Association, to- day received a communication from Man- ager Marean of the Western Union Tele- graph Company notifying the association that in response to the requests of residents .n that section of the city and in conformity with assurances given some time ago by the company, the “free delivery” system after October 1 would be extended to em- brace the territory included within Florida avenue, 7th street as far north as Rock Creek Church road, Spring road to 17th street, 17th street, Park street and 16th street to Florida avenue.

It is a continued story, of which all but the last chapter is printed, and then guesses are made as to the solution, then the final irstallment fs printed. Early in October a most interesting mystery story, “When the War Was Over,” will be started in The Star, and five hundred dollars will be given for the first absolutely correct solution. In case no guess 1s abso- lutely correct the amount will be divided among those nearest to a correct solution. ‘The guesse3 will be confined to women read- ers, Fuller particulars later.
