Paths on City Streets for Bicycle Riders. NEW BUILDINGS ———— BOME Quite an addition has been made to the generous building site which Mr. A. L. Barber recently acquired when he pur- chased the Dulaney tract at the Intersec- tion of the Woodley and the Tenleytown roads. The tract, as purchased from the Feirs of the late Mrs. Dulaney, contained twenty-five acres. On the eastern line of this property, with a frontage of 230 feet on Woodley road, was a small strip of land which a few years ago the late Mrs. Du- laney sold to the Iate Mrs. Myers. Through Col. Robert I. Fleming, Mr. Barber has just completed arrangements for the pur- chase of this tract, which contains five acres. The price agreed upon is $22,500, which is at the rate of $4,500 per acre. Mr. Barber's building site now adjoins what is known as the Busey place, occupied as a summer home by Mr. John R. McLean. It is interesting to nete in this connection that this pi f tive acres was purchased from the late Mrs. Dulaney some four years ago for about $2,650, and, as may be seen, there has heen a handsome aprecia- tion in value in that period. Mr. Barber's Residence. Workmen are now engaged in clearing off the buildings from the Dulaney tract and making preparations for the erection of the house which Mr. Barber intends to build there for his own residence. Col. Fleming is preparing the plans, and it is estimated that the house will cost in the neighborhood of $200,000. It is the intention of Mr. Barber to build it of stone, of the same variety which is used in the house which he built on 14th street extended, known as “Belmont,” and which was also used in the construction of the Church of the Covenant. This stone fs to be taken from a quarry in the vicinity of Cabin John bridge, which is owned by Mr. Barber. It has not been exactly determined how the material will be brought to the site, but it Is probable that it will be loaded on canal boats and brought to Georgetown, where it will be Placed on a flat car, which will be run out on the Georgetown and Tenleytown electric Toad to the site of the proposed house. Plans of a Syndicate. ‘The improvement which Mr, Barber pro- Poses to make has naturally drawn the at- tention of investors and others to this sec- tion of the suburbs, and there is more or les: talk of transactions of varions kinds. It is understood that Mr. Pierre Waggaman has organized a syndicate fer the purchase of the property on the west side of the Ten- leytown road, directly opposite the Barber site, which is known as Fairview Heighis. It is said to contain over a million square feet, and the price mentioned is $4,500 per acve. Improvements are contemplated in erder that the property may be placed on the market as building sites. A Country Residence. The property of Jeremiah Murphy, on the Grant read, adjoiaing the ground about the C}ildren's Country Home, hag be2n pur- chased by Dr. C. W. Richardson. The tract contains four acres, and the pricé was $8,000. Chief Justice Fuller's Residence. The old Carroll house, at the northwest corner of 18th and F streets, which was re- recatly purchased by Chief Justice Fuller of the United States Supreme Court, is to be remodeled from plans prepared by Horn- blower & Marshall, architects. The princi- pal changes are to be in the Intertor, al- though the entrance will be altered so 2s to make it on a level with the parking, and the steps now required to reach the front door will be placed inside the vestibule. The stable in the rear will be fitted up for a laundry. Traffle om City Streets. It is evident that all the problems which have arisen in connection with the growing popularity and use of the bicycle have not as yet been solved. This is especially the case in cities or crowded centers where bi- eycle riders are daily becoming an import- ant factor. It 1s Mkely that before tong some consideration will have to be given to this phase of the matter by the authcri- Ues of this city, although it would seem that with our wide streets there would be no danger of a congested condition of travel. However, independent of the presence of the bicycle rider, the growth of the city, as well as the expans‘on of the business or manufacturing interests, has resulted in making one or two localities in the business section of the elty busy scenes of thronged activity. The situation became so serious that the strict authorities quite recently adopted regulations requiring street ears to stop on the near side of crossings, and also police officers are regularly assigned to duty at certain points, tn order -to stipervise the traffic and prevent accidents. Now that bi- cycle riders so generally use the streets of the city, It can readily be understood that the volume of street traffic is thereby con- siderably enlarged, and, as stated, no doubt before long some official recognition will have to be made of that fact. Path for Wheelmen. In this connection the suggestion has been made that a certain portion of some of the leading thoroughfares of the city might be set aside and devoted to the exclusive use of wheelmen. For example, it is proposed that a space, say, six feet wide, be reserved in the center of Massachusetts avenue, and, in order that it may be kept for the o: elusive use of bicycle riders, it is suggested that the surface of this wheel path he raised a few inches above the level of the pave- ment, thus presenting a sufficient barrier to its use by vehicles, and at the same time not preventing free communication from one side of the street to the other. There are certain streets which are used by wheelmen in reaching the suburhs, and it is proposed to have similar special road- ways along such thoroughfares. Then, in the business sections of the city. spectal facilities of this sort would, it is thought, have the effect of drawing the wheelmen away from already crowded thoroughfares 3h before. wagon to call.

Houses in Rows. A row of six dwellings is to be erected on Hopkins street between 10th and 20th, and O and P streets. William J. Palmer, archi- tect, has prepared the plans. The residences will have a frontage of eighteen feet and a depth of sixty-five feet; will be three stories in height, with basement, and will be built with mansard roofs, tiled, and square bay windows, with towers and a corner oriel. The fronts will be of light brick, trimmed with stone. The interior finishing on the first floor is to be tn chest- nut. The heating will be by furnace and electric lighting, and bells will be provided. Minarets will flank the towers, the colonial porches will each be surmounted by an cpen, ornamental, carved balustrade, and the open balcony at the second story, be- tween the two center bays, will have a roof supported by pillars. Another row of three houses is to be erected at Roanoke and 13th streets for Kennedy & Davis. They will be three sto- ries and basement, pressed brick fronts, Erown stone trimmings, square bay win- Yows und towers, with hot water heating and electric lights. Plans of an Apartment House. It is said that still another apartment house is about to be erected, and that for the latest contemplated building of this character plans are being drawn by Joseph C. Johnson, architect. It is proposed to build a seven-story, fire-proof structure in the northwest, fronting seventy-six and ninety-five feet on two streets. Light brick and stone will be used in the construction of the fronts, and the plans will call for Square and circular bays and towers. It is the purpose to have five apartments on exch floor above the first, with a private hail and bath. Elevator service will be provided, and steam heat and electric light- ing used. Some Improvements. A two-story and cellar brick residente will be erected on M street northeast, from plans prepared by R. J. Beall, jr. The front will be of pressed brick, with bay window and oriel. A stable will be built in the rear. A store and residence will be built on If Street northeast, from plans drawn by J. F. Denson, architect. The house will be three stcries in height, and the front will be of light brick, trimmed with stone and gal- vanized iron bay window. House No. 222 Ist street southeast is to be remodeled according to plans prepared by J. F. Denson, architect. A two-story back building will also be erected.

Reference has already been made in these dispatches to certain efforts to foist Ed- warl P. Casey, son of Gen. T. L. Casey, on Congress and the country as one of the architects of the new Library of Congress. Some recent correspondence between the Washington Chapier of the American In- stitute of Architects, the editor of “Harp- ers Weekly and Mr. Casey himself left the claim of Mr. Casey to be considered ene of the architects of the new building ir @ rather enfeebled and damsged condi- tion. It seems, however, that notwith- standing the embarrassing exposures of this correspondence, Mr. Casey is still seeking to have his name inscribed on the memorial tablet which fs to be erected in the new library as one of the architects of the building. Messrs. Smithmeyer and Pelz, the original architects, protested vig- orously against having Mr. Casey's name associated with theirs, and have made an appeal to the Washington chapter of the American Institute to prevent this injyg- tice. After citing the recent dence published in Harper's Weekly, they. sa; This correspondence should certainly haye ended Edward P. Casey's endeavor as a pretender to the horor of bejng the archi- tect of the Congressional Libtary buildin; but not so, for there has since been di covered in the catalogue of the Architec- tural League of New York another pre- tense to that honor. On page 31 of that catalogue appears a drawing signed by him as “architect” of the dome and cen- tral reading room, which is the design made by us, with the single exception that the decorative part of the ceiling is changed. In view of the general plan and construction of this portion of the edifice, the question whether this is such a cred- itable change as to entitle Mr. Casey to the credit of the design is one which we are content to leave to the judgment of. the public and to our professional brethren. The building commission created by the act of Congress in 1886 selected Mr. Smith- meyer as the architect of the Congres- sional Library building and Mr. Pelz as his assistant. In 1888 fictitious charges of the disgruntled contractors were preferred against the architect, and resulted in the abolition of the building commission, the abrogation of all existing contracts and the elevation of Gen. Thcmas L. Casey, chief of engineers of the army, to the head of the enterprise, restricting him, however, to the execution of the plans of Smith- meyer and Pelz as adopted in 1886 and re- vised in 1888. The records show that Mr. Smithmeyer, the architect in charge, was brusquely relieved of his connection with the library, and Mr. Pelz was retained by Gen. Casey as his successor. Mr. Pelz ex- ecuted the plans of 1886 and 1888 accord- ing to law until March 29, 1802, when he was also dismissed by Gen. Casey in the following terms: “As you have now en- tirely completed the designs of the archi- teetural characteristics and features of the building for the Library of Congress, both of the exterior and interior, * * * I kave to state that your services will no longer be -equired. * * * ” This proves that the work of the archi- tect was virtually done. The building was built up to the roof and partially covered; it therefore permitted of no material changes in the plans. About that period of the construction Edward P. Casey (son of the general) made his appearance on the premises, but there is no public record or Pay roll to show that he was there in any official capacity. Nor did anybody pre- sume that he had anything to do even with the decoration of the interior of the building, until his name appeared In Har- per’s Weekly as “the architect” of the whole structure. The full details of the statuary and other decorative art work in the interior were, of course, not fuliy de- termined upon under the original plans as submitted and adopted, and it would be doing great injustice to the numerous dis- tinguished artists who contributed the many beautiful designs as they exist to- day to merge their joint work and the credit they so well deserve therefor under the general claim of Edward P. Casey as ee The work alleged to have been done b: him in the Harper’s Weekly article is ob viously more that of a manager of decora- tions than that of a bona fide architect. In view of these facts, Edward Pearce Casey is left in the unenviable position of having imposed upon the Architectural League, to say nothing of the graver of- fense of professional piracy, of which he has been guilty toward us. Nevertheless, it is now proposed to add the name of Ed- ward Pearce Casey to our own and in- scribe all three on the memorial tablet in the library as the architects of the Con- gressional Library building. Against an action so unjust, so thoroughly violative of every canon of architectural ethics and common decency, we solemnly protest to our brethren of the profession, in the hope that they will take such action as the sit- uation demands, -pietures in the national capital, correspon- |) A FRIEND OF FISH Interesting Talk With Newly Ap- pointed Commissioner Jno.

PRACTICAL RESULTS AIMED AT ee It is among the probabilities that if an exhibition of living piecures were an- nounced to be given under approved artis- tle auspices at one of the playhouses in Washington a large audience wouid be in attendance and general enjoyment ensue. There is a permanent exhibition of living however, that is more beautiful and more satisfying to the taste for color and movement, than any artificial presentment with the aid of lime light could cver be. Very few Wash- ingtonians ever see these exquisite gems. They are carried away in the inemozies of sightseeing visitors and remain photo- &raphs of the mind always to be revolved with pleasure. They are the aquariums in the first floor of the fish commission buiid- ing, away down on the anal, where 6th street, or as much of jt as the railroad tracks leave, cuts through that park.

His mission, however, was to call on the new chief of the fish comraission, Com- mander John J. Brice, U. 8. N., retired, and ascertain whaf his purpcses were for the future. Commissioner Bri¢2 {$ an energetic man, who speaks directly to the purpose when addressed, and knows whereof he speaks without question. It was easy to perceive that he was a practical and rot a theoret- ical man befewe-he had said ten words. And the reporter stretched out the meta- Phorical arms ef every bass fisherman in Washington and vicinity. and spiritually enfolded him with gratitide when he ex coriated the devastating, carp and declared he was going to destroy all those that the fish commission ha in dts possession. — The Star reporter mentioned the object of his visit and Commisswner Brice talked: Salmon and Shad. “The first work of the commissior,” he said, “will be the establishment of ha! eries all over the country, and a descrip- tion of those on the California coast will illustrate the idea to be carried oui vith them all. In California there will be six- teen central cnd subhatch: ‘fhe theory is that the central hatcher will be of a permanent nature, and have p propagation of trout and fis class, with permanent werking forces sta- tioned at them, while around them will be Grouped the smaller or subhatcheries lo- cated in easy proximity to tne spawning beds of the salmon.

Fish Propagation is Ensy, _ “The propagation of fish is simple enough,” declared Contmissiémer Brice. “It ist-nlmost tthpbssible to destroy the life of the fish egg.

The carp is a natural scavenger, and he destroys the spawn of a fish wherever he can find it. The carp follows the schools to their spawning beds and sucks up nest after nest without fear of interruption, because he is too big and un- wieldy for the fish he pursues to drive him away.

We have received many re- quests for fish of this character under dif- ferent names from various parts of the country, but they are all wall-eyed pike, pure and simple, a most pernicious and de- structive fish, and, as I sald, none will be distributed. The perch is another destruc- tive fish. There are very few members of the perch famfly that do not come under this condemnatory head. Like the carp, they follow the schools of fish and destroy their spawn. “We do not propose to introduce any mere foreign fish in Americn waters, he continued.

But Senator Hill in Lying in Wait for Mr. Chandter on Hix Return, Senator Hill is one of the most laconic men in Congress. He is expressive with his hands, bis eyes, his very glasses. His bald head, in some lights, is a mirror to reflect his thoughts and his impressions. Except in set speeches, he seldom wastes words, for he knows their value, and al- though he is never impolite to newspaper men, he often turns them off with brief rhtases that ere quite satisfactory. To those who know his moods and methods, such fragments of sentences are often as valuable as Jong interviews, and so ke Joses no friends by his brevity, which, with him, is often not only tne soul, but tbe bedy of wit as well. When the news of Senator Chandler's dis- comiiture in the New Hampshire con i ached this city, one of the most in- ed men was Senator Hill, who is Mr. Chandler's inveterate enemy in debate. 1t was the day of Mr. Chandler's departur2 that he and Mr. Hill had a spat in the Sen- ate that left the New Yorker somewhat sfigured, but, as events are apt to prove, still very much in the ring. One of the tirst thoughis that suggested itself after tie news of the mention of McKinley's name in the granite state resolutions was that Mr. Candler would be the subject of some re marks when he returned to the city, and a Siar reporter took advantage of his first opportunity afterward to ask Mr. Hill if he would improve the opportunity to make any observations apropos of Mr. Chandle:'s predicament. The Senator smiled that peculiarly in- scrutable smile that has given him a wide reputation for deep political astuteness. He smiled like a man who had thought it all over beforehand, and was not in the least surprised at the question. Then he tvrned.on his heel with the single remark: There could have been no fuller demon- stration of Mr. Hill's intention to improve his chance of “getting even” with the man from New Hampshire, who never misses a j chance to stick pins into his colleagues. It is, therefore, down on the bills of the Sen- ate that Mr. Chandler's reappearance in the Senate will be marked by one of the most pungent debates of the session, that may develop into a political discussion of some importance. Mr. Hill was recently asked by the cor- respondent of one of the New York papers what he thought of the celebrated Ra:ne bill amending the excise laws of the city, just passed by the republican legislaiure. The correspondent hoped for a long talk that would fire the democratic heart in etham and put new life into Tammuny Hiall, but, knowing Mr. Hill's peculiarity he was not surpr:sed when all he got was this sentence: peaking of the Raines bill as a demo- I smile.” Those who are familiar with the man from Albany say that he has made a study of this art of expressing a great deal in a few words. Some attribute to his success in this line much cf his success as a poli tician. He is a great listener, and quick to absorb all that a man has to say. When the other has said everything and begins to repeat and amplify on his remarks, Mr. Hill grows impatient, and it is seldom’ that he does not terminate the interview ab- ruptly, but with the air of a man who has Leen greatly interested, and cannot afford to spend any more time on thé subject. ea AU That Was Necesssary.
