A Cork town councillor is credited with having thus spokem: “Ther: can be no doubt of the virulenc: of this epidemic, for 1 know of people lying dead from it who never died before.” The same gentleman thus chivalrously defended a colleague: “I strongly protest against this attack on my absent friend, fer surely it is not ri hang a man behind his back.” SDSSS SSO5S9 665086 ' Most Delicious of All Cream Crackers —are LONDON CREAMS who uses them says so.

Madame Blane in the Forum. i ‘The father is, as a general rule, very dit- ferent in America from what he is in Eu- rope. He does not expect to meet with such blind submission, nor does he feel himself bound by so narrow duties. He is not obliged to give his daughters a dowry, for instance. He can let his native city profit by a share of the fortune he has made, without his sons ever thinking of grumbling at the expensive founding of FATHER. ; Some establishment for the public good. But nothing has struck me so much as to | see of how little consequence a father of a family can be, in his own house, in cer- tain circles in New York, for instance. I have visited houses where he seemed only to have dropped in by accident, evidently at a loss to recognize most of the invited guests, and yet showing himself most hos pitable with the good-will of his hand- shake and his smile, and repeating, almost as if he did not know to whofh he was speaking, that everlasting, trivial phrase “glad to see you.” places I have attended large parties given in the absence of the master of the house. The liberty in this re- this or that one of the accepts an invitation without troubling himself or herself about a reception at home that night, and no one even thinks of making excuses. Each has his friends, his social duties, h existence, and disposes of his time as seems best to himself. Self-saerifice, if perchance it showed ftself, often seemed to me to meet with an Indifference that was not very encouraging—nor does one sacrifice one’s self unless one be the father of the family, who certainly practices self-immo- lation to an unusual degree. He often works in harness at home, while his family passes years in Europe leading that purely worldly life which the American colony in Paris exhibits to us—all under the pre- text that traveling develops the young people, that Miss Mary needs to catch the pure French accent, that Miss Sally must cultivate her musical talent in Germany, that the nervous prostration of their mother demands a change of climate. And with what satisfaction does the good man speak of the good time, the success, the progress of these absent ones, whosé ex- penses he defrays without stopping to count them!

PREPARING APARTMENT HOUSE PLANS Buildings Especially Adapted for Homes in the Suburbs. —— IMPROVEMENTS —— ee SOME An engineer from Chicago, whose duty it is to look after municipal affairs, recently said, in discussing the District of Columbia, that no city in the United States was better protected against frame houses than Wash- ington. And this is correct, for there are but two sections in the city proper where a frame house may be erected, that is the small territory east of 15th street east and the one south of M street between the Navy Yard and James Creek canal. It is here the fire limits do not extend, and frame houses may be erected. On the other hand, the fire limits embrace a large section of the District outside of the city limits, and as improvements prog- ress, and sections are improved, the fire limits are gradually extended. Just at this time a proposition is under consideration to extend the fire limits on the north to Spring road, and it is expected within a short time that the order will be issued. Whenever the fire limits are extended there is always a rush for permits to build frame houses within the limit embraced, and when the applications are refused, i t indignation. ‘The property r seem to want a frame house realize they cannot build ene. € limits are considered ample, with the exception of the small extension noted above on the north, for many years to come. there is 1 Present Fire Limits. It is estimated that a further extension will not be necessary for twenty years. At the present time the limits ar From Florida avenue and th street east, on 15th street to Georgia avenue, Georgia avenue to llth street east, 11th street east to O street south, O street south to Yth street, 9th street east to M street south, M street south to wes bank of James ereek, J to Water str to 2th street, Mill road, Mill ri tersects the eastern line of the Park; thence southwardly ern line of said park to Ad thence ¢ dams Mill road to Columbia road; ce along Columbia road t® 16th extended; thence norchwardl: eet extended to Park street; e castwardly along Park street to 1th West extended ard Mount Ples thence ly al and due cast on iine of reet east; thence sout street to R street north east along R street to thence along Corceran and Olivet to main tracks of Baltimore and railroad; thence southerly along tracks to © street north i thence easterly on O streets to Trinidad avenue; therce northerly along said Trini street to densburg road; thence aleng Bi sburg roxd to the intersection of 15th street east and Florida avenue. Proposed Apart t Houses. Inquiries are still being made by prospec- tive builders of apariment houses and the inspector of buildings has answered two such applications this week. The owners, except in rare instances, keep the location of the proposed buildings a great cret, and it only after the most minute questioning that the informa- tion sought is obtainable. For instance, gentleman well known in real estate cir- cles appeared at the District building this week and stated he was about to erect a large apartment house. He wanted some information concerning the thickness of walls. The inspector first asked the d sions of the building, which were antly given. It was to he a house fifty-five fect front by a height of seventy-fiv runring back 100 feet. When asked the lo- cation, for the building regulations are not applicable alike to all parts of the District, he vaguely answered Columbia Heights and vould say no more. It is cviGent that the prospective builder does not want to make known his plans until after all de- tails are setiled, and he has obtained his permit. Anvther inquiry was also made during the week regarding an apartment house, but the applicant, when pressed, said he was only geiting ready. Homes in the Suburbs, Considerable attention has been given to the subject of suburban architecture in re- cent years, and it has naturally been one of increasing interest in this locality, owing to the large number of people who have cs- tablished homes in the country about this city. It is believed by those whu are in a position to form an accurate judgment that this movement in its local phases has p tically only begun. There is a large urca of land within convenient distance of this city forming admirable sites for homes, and the advantages of a suburben dence are being more thcroughly under- stood and appreciated. For those who cre contemplating erecting a house in the country at this time, there are some suggestions,that can be made which, if carried out,°would rot, only re- sult in a more sightly structuré, but in greater convenience and comfort in the daily home life. There is one mistske that people make, and thet Is, they find it dificult to free themselves from the con- ception of what a house should be, which is based mainly on their acquaintance with city houses. As is well known, the aver- age city house is built on an Inside lot of contracted dimensions. All the air and sunshine that such a house gets is from the front and rear. Study the Points of the Compass. On the other hand, in the country the building site is open on all sides, and the important question to be decided by the prospective builder is- hcw it should be planned so as to make the most of these opportunities. The majority of people oc- cupy their homes in the country the year round, and it is, therefore, an important matter to locate the rooms so that they will have the benefit of the morning and afternoon sun, as may be desired. It is true that the chosen lot may front on some street, but it is not necessary that the front entrance should be oa the same side of the house as the street. Some people like to have the sun in the dining room in the morning, and others have a preference for a living room which is bright and cheery throughout the entire day. In a genera] way, it may be seen that it is advisable for those who are thinking ahout building to give careful attention to the points of the compass. A Colonial Feature. There is another general feature about a house intericr which is of considerable con- sequence in this climate, and that is the ar- rangement of the interior so that there can be a free circulation of air throughout the jand Ie house. This was accomplished in the old colcnial houses so common in this locality by having the hall on the first floor, which, by the way, was of generous width, extend- ing through the house from front to rear. ‘The same plan was followed. in the upper story, and the rooms opened on each side. Té it is not possible tu carry out this plan, it would be desirabie to make an approach to it, and if arcther door in the hall opposite the entrance is not feasible, then a place may be found for a window, which will ac- complish somewhat the same result. Some Improvements, Extensive improvements and alterations will be made in the residence at the north- west corner of 18th ard M streets, which was recently purchased by Mrs. Ray. The wors is to be done under the direction of Mr. Charles Langley, and will-include a complete renewal of the plumbing and the continuation of the rear building to the height of the main structure. A number of minor changes will be made. The same contractor will have charge of the improvements which will be made in the residence of Mr. Bradley, at the northeast corner of 21st and P streets. A large addl- tion Is to be erected in the rear of the pres- ent structure, covering the space occupied by the back building and the stable. The frontage on 21st street will be over 100 feet, where the entrance will be. Mr. Barber’s Proposed Residence. The offer made by Mr. A. lL. Barber for the purchase of the Delaney property, at the intersection of the Georgetown and Tenley- town road and the Woodley road, fs re- garded as an indication that land values are firm, There are twenty*ive acres in the property, and the price offered was $5,000 per acre. contempl: n there of a hand- some resic¢ ated that Mr. John R. MeLean desired t perty, but it is now understood that he will probably find a site somewhere in that vicinity, where he will erect a residence for his own use. SS THE FATAL TELEPHONE. A Thrilling Domestic Story Which Doesn't Need a Sequel. “No,” said a geod-natured Washington man of about forty-five to a Star reporter, “no, I don’t believe in modern science for daily application. We don’t need it. We were, or our ancestors rather, were quite as well off as we are today, and what dl they know about modern science?” “They didn't know as much as we do, and just see how much they missed,” contended the reporter. “But they were as happy and contented as we are; more so, in many instances,’” and there was that in the tone of the talker ing that he had a grudge against - on purely personal grounds. ‘m,” coughed the reporter, signifying ® wish or an inclination to ask a question or v0.

Of course, my wife never knew anything about it, for she was too re a woman to come back unex- to find out. Well, last summer went away I got everything proposed to celebrate her de- parture in good styie. And you bet we did. We never had such a time, and we kept it up for four nights. I suppose we would have finished the week out, but on the morning of the fifth day I received a letter from my wife that was a revela- tion and a corke In that letter not only a list of the names of my guests, but there was a great deal of the actual conversation that had taken place, the number of kinds of liquor we had and even the ante and limit of the game we played. It was simply horrify: ing. and I didn’t dare to try to lie out of it, as I kad done on other occasions, for I was sure she had witni to prove her case. She was awfully nice about it, though, and advised me to turn over a new leaf unless I wanted her to come home. “Of course, I turned over a new leaf, and even went so far as to ask ihe mission work- ers to come up and hold prayer meetings there, for I didn't know what my wife would do if she got started once.

She didn’t even mention very she haa made, but I did, and, easing me a long time, she agreed tell me in the fall If would be a good bos, I was afraid not to be, and when she came back in September she showed me where she had had a telephone put in with a mag- nifying front hid in a dark corner.

An important question was raised as to whether or not a barrel of whisky was délivered to the defendant. “An Irishman by the name of O'Connor was the drayman, and when Judge Hen- dershott started to cross-examine him ke concluded to frighten him jnto contra- dicting his testimony on the examination- in-chief. Assuming a dramati¢ pose and with a stern voice he said: ‘Remember, sir, yoy are on your oath. Remember, you have sworn to teil the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the jtruth.
