ADVANTAGES OF SMALL DWELLINGS Some of the Improvements Now in Progress. OF INTEREST ———E It is evident that the method of building houses 1s much more substantial than it used to be, or else builders here have ac- quired the art of fastening the roofs on houses more securely than was the case a few years ago. The results of the recent violent storm which swept through the city affords strong evidence of the durable char- acter of the buildings of the city. In only @ comparatively few instances were houses unroofed. Some years ago a wind storm of equal severity would have left a large number of houses without this necessary protection from the elements. Nowadays, however, the principal damage done is to the trees, and some go so far as to express the opin- fon that if the parking commission had a sufficient force employed to keep these trimmed the list of casualties after a wind storm would be materially reduced. As the buildings and houses of the city have evidently been made more secure, it is not unreasonable to suppose that some- thing can be done fcr the protection of the trees, which are an Important factor in the beauty and attractiveness of the city. About Small Houses. There are advantages about building houses of moderate size even on expensive lots and in the most popular residence sec- tions of the city. The majority of property owners, when they come to build, are of the opinion that a large house must be put on @ high-priced lot. It is claimed that only by following this course can an adequate price be secured for the property in the event of a sale, or of a sufficient rent if it held as an investment. It is, however, pointed out by those who have had some in experienc; building and renting and gelling houses that there is quite a large class of people who like to live in a good house in a desirable locality, and yet whose income will not permit them to keep a number of servants or to maintain an establishment the running expenses of which are necessarily large. A large house requires a corps of servants, a good deal of furniture and a large quantity of fuel. On the other hand, all these items of ex- pense are very much reduced when the house is small and compact. It is not claimed that the same rental can be obtained for a small house as for a large house, even when in the same locel- ity, but it is asserted that in proportion to the amount of the investment a larger in-! come can be secured from the small house than from the large house. This !s ex- plained In part by the statement that the tenant of a small house Is apt to be more permacent than the one In a large house, for the reason that the former is living as economically sible for him to do if he wishes to remain in such a local- ity, while the latter is doubtful on that point, and fs constantly on the outlook for @ cheaper house. Mrs. Ward's Residence. From plans prepared by W. Bruce Gray, architect, Mrs. John S. Ward fs building an addition to her residence, 1727 Connecticut avenue. The new part will occupy the game frontage as that of her present resi- dence, so that the completed building w: have a width of fifty feet. The addition will be in the style cf an English basement house, the front being built of brick and stone. There will be a music room, as well as a large dining room. Condition of the Market. Just at present there are not enough buy- ers In the market to make that degree of activity which 1s espectally desired by dealers. For this reason there is compara- tively no demand for real estate, and as holders are fortunately not forced to a fale, there 1s no sacrifice of property and the demoralization of prices which are usually the features of such a condition. During the period of financial depression from which it is believed the country is now emerging the real estate market has stown a stability which 1s remark- able. There have been no evidences of weakness, only stagnation, an absence of buyers. Those whose opinions in such matters are worthy of respect regard the present condition of the real estate market as extremely promising, especially when the general business situation of the coun- try 1s considered. They believe that there are now indications of a revival of inter- est on the part of investors in realty, and that during the next year and a half marked progress will be made toward the restoration of activity in the market, In the Burned District. The buildings in the burned district on Louisiana avenue are to be replaced, and a number of contracts have been let for the work. Plans have been prepared by Robert I. Fleming, architect, for the rebuilding of Nos. 920 and 931 for W. S. Cox, and stores at Nos. 915, 917 and 919 are also to be re- built by James F. Waters, who has the contract for that purpose. They will be made two storles, as before, and designed tor Nght mercantile business. The bull ing Inspector has ordered that the awn- ings be entirely constructed of iron, and not wood, as heretofore. Some Improvements. A row of seven houses will be erected on South Capitol and Cc streets, from plans prepared by Geo. S. Cooper, architect. The entire frontage is 126 feet, while the depth is sixty feet. The fronts of the structures will be built of buff brick and Nght stone, and the houses will be two stories in height. A. B .Muliet & Co., architects, have pre- pared plans for eight two-story brick dwel- lings, to be erected for Charles E. Banes, on Elm street, Le Droit Park. The entire frontage is 128 feet. An addition will be built to the parsonage of St. Augustine's Church, 15th street be- tween L and M streets, from plans pre- pared by Joseph G. Johnson, architect. The structure will be three stories and a basement, with a frontage of twenty-two eet. ——____. VICTORIA’S BRIDGE DISASTER. Work of Rescuing the Bodies Has Been Completed. The work of rescue at the scene of the recent bridge disaster at Victoria, B. C., has been completed when the last of the bodies was recovered by divers. ‘The death roll Includes fifty-five names, and it Is feared that two or three strangers may yet be missing. Evidence is accumulating showing grave negligence on the part of the civic authorities, they having been warned the day before the accident that the bridge could not hold. Yesterday afternoon was siven up to the funerals of the victims The coroner opened his inquest yester- day into the causes of the disaster. The number of wounded, as far as ascertained, is between twenty-five and thirty. ——_--e-+-______ HOTEL GUESTS IN A PANIC." A Small Fire Created a Good Deal of Alarm. A fire which in itself amounted to very little created something of a panic among the guests of the Wellington Hotel in Chi- cago Thursday night. There was at no time any danger, but a number of the serv- ants became frightened and ran out on the roof looking for safety. A number of guests ran from their rooms without waiting to dress, but were soon in- duced to return. The hotel suffered dam. age to the extent of $2,000. — ee Discontent tn South America. A conspiracy against the government has been discovered at Cuzco, Peru, and sev- eral arrests have been made. Advices received from Bolivia say that trouvle is feared in the republic in view of the mani. fest frauds of the government and the re- sult of the elections, which were thereby effected, and undoubtedly favored Colonel Pando, just elected president of Bolivia, ——+es The Physician's Advice. From the Loutsville Post. A good story ts being told on one of Louisville's most prominent homeopathic physicians. Several days ago a young wo- man called at his office, and, after dis- coursing on all the topics of interest of the day, settled down to tell him her ailments. Among other things, she said she was greatly annoyed with a sinking feeling. ‘The physician prepared a little bottle of pills and gave them to her, with minutet directions as to how they should be taken, The woman again began to talk, and after many vain efforts to get her out sho started for the door. She had just opened it, when she turned and said: “Oh, doctor, what shall I do if these pills do not cure me?” “Take the cork!” he retorted; “they tell me that’s good for a sinking feeling,” and he called the next patient into his private office. Date Uncertain for Holding the Bri- gade Encampment. MEDALS FOR THE ENGINEERS ADOPTED Various Matters Discussed at the Armory Quarters. MILITARY SURGEONS ‘The prospects of an encampment of the brigade during the coming summer now form one of the chief topics of con tion about the armory. The general im- Pression seems to be that the guard will be ordered to Fort Washington for a week's stay early in August. When asked as to whether or not an encampment would be held during the coming summer, General Ordway stated yesterday that he has not given the least thought to the matter. There is a probability that there will be postponement of the week of ins‘rucii outdoors until June, 1897. Medals for the Engineers, The regular monthly meeting of the en- gineer corps, scheduled for this evening, was held Thursday last, in view of the hol- iday. The principal business of jnterest transacted was the adoption of a bastion fort as the design for medals which are to be presented to the members of the teams which have represented the corps in rifle matches of note. Later In the evening a love feast over the success of the engineers at Savannah was held. Messrs. Graham, Young, Drury, Holt, Edwards, Stewart, Albertie and Co. were called on for speeches, and Dr. S. I. Scott gave an interesting’ talk on new methods of rifle practice. A commitice, consisting of Messrs. Graham, Young and Birney, was appointed to draft the thanks of the corps and forward the same to the Savannah Rifle Range Association, in ap- preclation of the courtesy shown the en- gineer riflemen during their stay in the Georgia city. An Interesting Souvenir. The souvenir of company A, fourth bat- telicn, has made its appearance, and is a handsome work. The binding and cover is of emerald green and white, and the blend- ing is decidedly pleasing to the ey addition to a complete his ishing organization, the cuts of all the officers of the since its organization, as well as ent commissioned and non-commis ficers. jouvenir contains company New Adjutant of the Fifth. Sergeant Fabian Columbus of the + separate company, who formerly held a commission as captain, and ut one time was a member of the brigade board of examination, will probably he the new ad- jutant of the fifth battalion, filling the vacancy caused by the promotion of Fii Lieutenant James L. Mock, to the adju- tancy of the first regiment. Committee of Military Surgeons. Maj. George Henderson, surgeon general: First Lieutenant Sprigg, surgeon of the filth battalion, and First Lieutenant Fos- ter, surgeon of the second batialion, have returned from attendance at the conven- tion of the Association of Military Sur- geons of the United States, recently held iu Philadelphia. All three were named on the committee of arrangements for the meeting of military surgeons of the world, to be held in this country in 1s), Appreciated the Fourth. An engrossed vote of thanks has been forwarded to Major Campbell, First Lieu- tenant Jacobs, adjutant, and First Lieuten- ant Jacobson, quartermaster, all of the fourth battalion, from the Si. Paul Club of the G. A. R., in apprestation of the services of the battalion in conjunction with the recent military festival held in Central Hall. Special reference is made to the dress parade by company D of the fourth. Gatling Gun at the Target. It is arserted that one of the state ma- chine gun sections at Hartford, Conn., has quaiffied its men at the target with the Gatling stn instead of the rifle, the p scrited weapon for qualifying at the ta get. The Gatling gun will make bull's- eyes with mathematical accuracy when once sighted correctly, and this accounts for the high sccres made by the men in that section. An Investigation is probable. Noten. The rifle range at Ordway escaped in- Jury by the storm Thursday, with the ex- ception of the uprooting cf the large syca- more tree near the offic At a meeting of company A, second bat- talion, Monday evening next, a report on the recent bereft concert will be submit- ted. Private Thomas Chick of the ambulance corps has been transferred to company A, second battalion. The application, it is said, was disapproved by the commanding officer of the ambulance corps, who gave as his reason for so doing a desire to re- tain every good man in the organization. Owirg to the warm weather, the Nation- al Guard Athletic Association is slumber- ing. A meeting is to be held, however, Friday evening next to consider a report of the executive committee on the cost of fitting up the gymnasium and the expense of other improvements. Company A, second battalion, is warmly Interested in athletics. It has come to the front with a base ball team, which has al- ready a long string of victories to its credit. The team is anxious to receive challenges from other clubs representing National Guard organizations, or from out- siders. Lieut. Underwood of the fifth battalion and Sergt. F. Carrol: Mattingly of the sec- ond separate company appeared before the brigade board of examination Wednesday evening last. Capt. Sayre, First Lieut. Lund ana Sec- ond Lieut. Bowdler, company C, fifth bat- talion, have accepted their commissions. The Officers’ Association of the second regiment, at its mecting Thursday evening, considered a report of the committee on by. laws, and decided to reduce the annual dues from $3 to $1. The members of company B, sixth bat- talion, have been ordered to assemble June 2, for the purpose of electing a first’ and a second lieutenant. The resignations of Capt. Moyer and Capt. Perry, adjutant and chaplain, re- spectively, of the second regiment, have been accepted. Capt. Hodgson of company GC, fourth hat- talion, has announced the following ap- pointments of non-commissioned officers in his command: Privates Edwin Trumble and George T. Thompson to be sergeants, and Privates John W. Williams, John Has- kins, J. Carey Ward and William EB. Keefer, jr., to be corporals. At the assembly of the fourth battalion Tuesday evening last the ceremony of guard mount was rehearsed for two hours or more. Maj:-Campbell and Capt. Walsh acted as instructors, while the other offi- cers of the conimand, in turn, served as officer of the day and officer of the guard. “<THE NATIONAL GUARD|'" MUSICAL ciRCLES Many Matters of Decided Interest to Local Musicians.

The music department of Howard Uni- versity has been doing a xreat deal of excellent work among those who, while possessors of vocal gifts, were nevertheless untrained. At the department's third an- niversary were revealed many excellent re- sults, due to the Skill and application of Prof. W. J. Stephens, who ig principal of the vocal department and instructor in voice culture and theory. The music de- partment has comé up from a very small beginning, and has suffered much, but the presentation of the program at the latest anniversary showed conclusively that the labor has not been in vain. Pleasant and musically educated features of the pro- gram, for which the students and the au- dience were deeply grateful, were the harp solos of Miss Anita Cluss. Professor Stephens is convinced that Howard Uni- versity will ere long become noted for the excellence of. its musical work. The uni- versity choir ds a well-balanced organiza- tion, which improves steadily. The High thool Octet, composed of students of the Central High School, made their debut last Tuesday evening in the concert given by Esther Chapter, O.

A special from Duluth, Minn., say: Miss Katherine Weston starzled the heirs of Richard Gray, the millionaire lumber- man and capitalist of this city, who died at the home of his brother in Boston about ea xo, by declaring that she and the Fea millionaire were married in Hudson, Wis., six years ago. Her family is prominently connected in the eastern states. She says the marriage between herself and Gray was priva‘e, and has since been kept a secret. As the most painstaking search has failed to reveal a will, she will, she says, demand the entire estate as provided by the Minne- sota statutes in case the mariage can be established. ——___-+e+_____ Good Credentials.

Mr. Winship’s Hints to Good Liter- ature Committees, Rev. Albert E. Winship in the Golden Rule. Is it because the patrons of the barber are ordinarily men that the literature of his shop is so uniformly of poor quality? There is no other place where a man of clean thoughts ts imposed upon by that class of papers whose pictures, at least, are illustrative of the latest and worst of crimes. It would seem as !f the circulation of these papers In these shops were sys- tematically provided for, since neither the proprietor nor the workmen, even in their leisure moments, are scen to look at one. I have known one barber that would not have such a paper in his place, and sub- scribed for an tllustrated religious weekly and a Sundey echool quarterly.
