24 2 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1896—TWENTY-FOUR PAGES, REAL ESTATE GOSSIP Over Ninety Thousand Dollars Paid for the Strong House. INCREASE IN BUSINESS FACILITIES Practical Results From the Coming Here of Summer Visitors. ——— a AN ATTRACTIVE CITY Se The feature of the week in the realty market was the sale mede by E. C. Baum- gras, real estate broker, to Mr. C. H. Liv- ingstone of New York city of the old co- lonial mansion on the south side of K Btreet between 16th and 17th streets north- west for $92,700. This property was built several years ago by Col. Henry Strong, but was never completely finished on ac- rount of the ill-health of Mrs. Strong, who was ordered by her physicians to Santa Barbara, Cal, where another residence is now under construction. The new owner has employed Paul J. Pelz, architect, to make changes and ad- ditions, which is estimated will cost about 25,000. The lot is a spacious one, having a frontage of seventy-one feet, and contains 8153 square feet. The house occupies the entire front, and, as stated, is built in what is known as the colonial style, the material used bemg a light-colored brick, trimmed with light stone. The rear of the house fs especially at- tractive, as it has an cutlook not only on the spacious lawn, but upon the extensive grounds which surround the residence of the late George W. Riggs, the latier front- ing on I street. The ground on which the Strong residence is located was formerly a part of the Riggs place, and Colonel Syong was one cf tne first purchasers when it was decided to place this portion of the property upon the market. To the east of the Strong residence is the hand- some home of Senator Quay, recently erect- ed. Colonel Strong paid $5 a foot for the square feet, and it is said that he vended between $40,000 and $50,000 in the erection of the house. The price ob- tained inay be considered a good one, and only furnishes another evidence of the stability of real estate values in this city. Summer Visitors to the City. In an indirect way it is possible to do considerable business in the real estate line during the summer months. There are a great many people, especially those who are in the habit of spending a consider- able portion of the heated term away from their homes, who have an idea that there is not much activity in the business cir- cies of Washington. While, of course, there is a letting up for the summer pe- riod in the energetic hustling that char- acterizes the business world of the na- tion's capital during the rest of the year, still something is being done and every- be ‘lees not Teave town as is popularly supp d. In fact, there is quite an ad- dition to the population, owing to the number of visitors who find their way to this cit As is well known, there is a natural de- sire on the part of nearly every American citizen to visit the capital of their own country, and the summer presents the best opportunity for a large majority of them to be away from their homes and business. Th result is that they eome here and make the tour of the various points of interest for which this city Is noted. They rive through the shady streets and ad- mire, the many attractive specimens of do- ™mestic and business architecture which ure found here. In its summer dress Washington is rec- ognized as an attractive place, and the summer visitors go away carrying an im- pression of the city which they are not soon apt to forget. If for any reason they wish to change tneir place of residence or any of their friend: are in the same situation the of this city is very likely to em strongly, and the conse- avence is Washington gains new residents. In this way the city itself may be re- Barded as a sort of an advertisement, and it is important that it should be in its best Bress during the heated term, as well as furing any other part of the year. The Lawns of the City. connection the individual citizen, as well as the District authorities, have 2 duty to perform. Certainly the city would te much less beautiful if it were not for @he attention and n-oney which individual @itizens expend on the parking or lawns in @ront of their houses. As is well known,all the space in front of the average city house Int bel to the public, but Its care and maintenance is a charge voluntarily assum- ed by the individual householder. How well this is done a glance at the well-kept lawns which fringe mest of the streets and avenues of the city will attest. Here and there, however, appears a rag- ged piece of lawn, where the grass grows rank and long. As a rule this marks the residence of people who have left the city for the summer and made no provision for the care of their lawns: during their ab- sence. It is thought that all that is neces- sary is to call the attentien of house- holders to this subject, and this defect, which is largely believed to be the result of an oversight, would be remedied. Undoubt- edly a correction of this evil would tend to enhance materially the attractions of this city. Improvements in the City. It is a matter of congratulation to those who are interested in the welfare of Wash- ington that progress is being made all the time in the improvement of the city. Ad- ditions are betng made constantly to the number of residences, and the facilities for carrying on business of various kinds are being increased by the erection of enlarged and modern buildings. While the amount cf money expended in these directions has hot be-n as large during the past year or two as was the case in the period before the financlal depression, yet it Is gratifying to know that even the stress of financial difficulties which has been felt here as well as in other parts of the country has not entirely checked the extension of business or the growth of population. In another important particular a steady and gradual progress may be noted, and that is the increase in the facilities of com- munication from one part of the city with another and between the city and the sub- urbs. This has been accomplished, not so much by the building of new lines of street railways as by the substitution of modern moiive power for horses. It is safe to say that in the near future the system of street railways of this city will be looked upon as a model, not only in this country, but abroad. It is not meant to be understood that the system has by any means reached perfection, but in its main features it is far superior to that which prevails in many cities where the overhead trolley stil marks the highest point in advance made in modern street car motor: Mr. Govern Residence. ans will be completed this week for a colonial residence to be erected at Terrace Heights, D. C., for Mr. Amos Gover of this city. The house will be 33x38 feet, will be three stories In height, and will contain eleven rooms. The plans provide for par- lor, library,dining room, pantry and kitchen on the first floor, four chambers and bath on the second, and two chambers on the third, and finished rooms in the basement. The first ficor and stairs will be finished in hard wood, while the chambers will be finished in pine, decorated to harmonize with the finish of the rooms. The main stairway will open into the library, producing an artistic effect. The building site is on a side hill, and the exterior arrangement of the house. combined with spacious verandas, to meet the contours of the ground. will give a picturesque effect. F. B. Pyle is the architect. Some New Buildings. A two-siory and basement brick dwell- ing will be erected by J. W. Keys for N. Rurin on h street northwest. Plans have been prepared by J. Germuiller, architect, fer a brick addition to Patrick Sheehy's store and warehouse, on Florida avenue and 7th street northwest. The new structure will be three stories in height, of brick, and have a depth of 109 feet. It will be used for light storage and warehouse purposes. Excavation has been made for the resi- Gence to be erected for Thomas Nelson Page on R street northwest, between 17th and 18th streets. The work will be done by Richardson & Burgess, Sgatetineay Bue this city, and the dwelling will have a ntage of 36 feet and a depth of 72 feet. The front will be of Harvard brick, with trimmings of limestone, and a basement of granite. A College Building. A contract for the erection of a school building for Wood’s Commercial College has been awarded to James M. York & Son, and work was begun on Saturday last. The plans were made by A. E. Middleton, archi- tect, and show a building essentially mod- ern and admirably adapted for its use. It will be three stories in height, and arranged with especial care for comfort. The base- ment will be devoted to the use of a thor- oughly equipped gymnasium. It will be furnished with a complete system of gym- nastic apparatus, including dumb bells, In- dian clubs, parallel and horizontal bars, ladders, swings, etc. The basement also will contain heating apparatus and toilet Fcoms. On the first floor will be located the typewrlting, shorthand and English depart- ments and ‘study rooms. A spacious hall extending the entire length of the build- ing will lead to the ladies’ tollet and retiring rooms. On the second floor will be located the commercial and civil service depart- ments, which will be spacious and splendid- ly lighted. ‘The building will be constructed of brick with bluestone trimmings, and of such dimensions as to accommodate for sev- eral years the rapid growth of Prof. Wood's college. All equipments will be modern and direct from the factory. - —>—__. BRIGHTWOOD. ——__.

Browne of Grand Ledge, Mich., has in his possession a bound volume of a magazine called the Mechanics’ Mirror, established at Albany, N. Y., in January, 1846. To quote from the Albany Citizen of that day, the Mirror was “edited by Rob- ert Macfarlane, esq., and published by Mr. John Tanner, both of whom are practical mechanics of this elty.”” At the end of the first year’ of the publication announcement was made that it would be changed to a weekly paper. Dr. Brown knows nothing further of its bistory. The bound volume of the Mirror in Dr. Brown's possession here furnishes the proof of the assertion that X rays are not a re- cent discovery. Inithe October issue of the Mirror 1s this announcement: Extraordinary. The following communication was made to the Academie Royale des Sciences de Paris at its last meeting by a Greek phys- lologist, A. M. Esseltja, who asserts that by the assistanee of electric light he has been enabled to see through the human body, and thus to detect the existence of deep-seated disease. He has followed the operations of digestion and. of circulation. He has seen the nerves in motion. M. Es- seltja has imposed the name of “anthro- scope” on his extraordinary discovery (2). It is possible that some device of electric light might have produced the effect dealt with in the Mirror without the discovery of the Roentgen rays. No modern investiga- tor, though, we believe, has been able to see the “nerves move. SS RUSSIA’S GREAT RAILWAY. It is Expected to Reach the Pacific With the Century's End. From the Edinburgh Scotsman. The progress made by the great railway of Russia across Sihcria is such that the gigantte ‘work is almost certain to be com- pleted by the close of the century. The war between Japan and China, and the finan- cial arrangements with China which have followed, have given the Russian govern- ment and the contractors a powerful im- pulse. From Chebalinsk, the terminus on the west, 1,300 miles from Moscuw, to Vladi- vostock, the eastern terminus un the Pa- cific coast, is a distance of 4,800 miles, which is fast being spann2d. The tctal distance between St. Peters- burg and Viadivostock by railway will be 600 miles. In anticipation of the opening of new sections, the zune system of tickets has lately been adopted in Russia for all distances cvcr 300 versts, or 200 miles. In thls way it should cost under i5 to travel froth Moscow to the Pacific third class. ‘The present slow rate of travel is to be in- creased by ten miles an hour on both or- dinary and express trains, raising the lat- ter to forty miles an hour. Moscow, which is now only sixty hours from London, will be thus nine and a half days from Vladi- vostock. ‘The railway will revolutionize the routes to China and Japan, and greatly shorten the journey round the world by Canada and the Pacific ocean. Cunnected with the main project are more important political plans, believed to be the subject of nego- tiations with the Pekin authorities. Such are the opening of the Sungari navig:xion from its source in the heart of Manchuria to its confluence with the Amur, and a branch railway following tne line of that river to an outlet on the Yellow sea not far from Pekin. A vast territory rich in coal and minerals will thus be opened up, and rorthera Manchuria must ultimately fall to Russia. As to Corea, its fate will He between Russia and Japan. eS Been Too Busy.
