REAL ESTATE GOSSIP Method in Vogue of Erecting Build- ings for Public Uses. CHANGE IN THE SYSTEM PROPOSED What is Expected When the Pres- idential Election is Over. SOME IMPROVEMENTS —_—_.———— When the current District appropriation bill went into effect and the money appro- priated for public buildings was available, Building It spector Brady made immediate Preparations to get all the work under way, and complete it as soon as possible. An extra set of draftsmen was put to work and the plans for the new buildings hur- ried along. Up to the present time all the plans have been completed with the exception of a small two-room school house at Chevy Chase, near the line of Connecti- cut avenue extended. While there is only 38,000 available for the purchase of ground and the construction of the building, an extra effort ts being put forth to make it one of the most picturesque. It will be fashioned afcer the colonial style of archi- tecture, and when completed will be one of the most attractive suburban school buildings in the country. 3 Frightered by the lesson recently from the fate of bidders who bid low for work, contractors have run up prices for public buildings. The effect of this has been to necessitate a change in several in- stances cf the plans, in order to bring the work within the amount of the appropriation. The building inspector looks with favor on these higher prices. Not that he believes in extortion, but be- cause he realizes that the craze of cheap builders is passing away, and the Dis- trict is once more to be free from the worry that has always characterized the award of contracts to these very low bid- ders. Hurry to Get the Money. Several failures mark their way, and the g:ay hairs that have been added to the heads of the Commissioners, the au- ditor and the building inspector, not to mention the wrinkles that have formed in the foreheads of the material men and the workmen, bear evidence of the trials they hare undergone in compelling thes» low bidders to carry out thelr contracts. Try as they might this has been in many respects an herculean task, and of the several buildings now under construction not one it is said is free of obligations. Much thre has been taken up by laborers and material men appealing to the Com- missioners to see that they received their just dues, and even with offical interfer- ence, In the way of stopping payments, Geficiencies occur. Every one agrees that the system of letting bids is wrong. They say because a man happens to be the lowest bidder and presents a good and suffictent bondsman It is no reason why he should receive a contract that not only in- volves the disbursement of a large amount of money but more important still, the completion on time of buildings in order that the children of this great city may have an opportunity of attending school. A Case in Point. A case happened within the past few months, where a contractor, after figuring on a contract for several weeks, and get- ting estimates from subcontractors, ac- tually put In a bid for the entire job, lower by several thousand dollars than the ag- gregate bids of the subcontractors for the work. He iid not plead a mistake when the contract was awarded him, but went right ahead with the work. The result — the material men and laborers suf- fered. It has been urged in favor of the present system that the District is protected by the bond exacted. But, it is claimed, the bond only insures the completion of the build- irg, and makes no provision for the pay- ment of the material men and laborers whose material and labor have been used in the construction of the building. Again, the mere assurance that the building will be completed, it is asserted, is not enough. What the District wants, and what In- spector Brady is fighting for now, is the completion of District buildings on time, thus saving loss of time to the chfldr2a who are deprived of school facilities by the failure of a contractor to complete his con- tract, or, further, the delays which neces- sarily arise when the bondsmen have to ccmplete the contract. What is proposed is a change in system. Building Inspector Brady wants the work dene by day’s labor, under the supervision of the District. Then he can see to {t that all bills are satisfied, all work is satisfactory and the buildings ecmpleted when the specified time is up. Expected Business Activity. All classes of business men are looking forward to election day, which is now some ten days off, as they expect it will probably mark the beginning of an epoch of renewed activity and prosperity. This is especially the case with men who are interested di- rectly or indirectly in real estate, which, as every one knows, Includes the large class engaged in the building trade and in fur- nish‘ng material for building. With the agitation of the money quest!on brought to end and the certainty that there will be @ sufficient revenue supplied for the needs of the government it is belleved that there Will be such a feeling of confidence that the money which is now lying {dle in banks and safe deposit boxes will be brought out end invested. In fact, one business man freely states that the insurance companies which he represents have $0,000 to loan on real estate, and that he has received in- structions from them to place this money en Washington property as soon as the election 1s decided on the lines above indi- cated. It is said that this Is only one case of many, and that a good deal of money wil? be invested here which will do much toward stimulating business tn all directions. Storage Warehouse Addition. Plans have been prepared by J. G. Hill, architect, for an addition to the storage warehouse of the American Security and Trust Company on h street between L and M streets northwest. The new addi- tion is to have a frontage of nineteen feet and a depth of 105 feet, and is to be con- structed of fire-proof material throughout, fm a style similar to that of the main build- ing. and is to be six stories in height to cerrespond to that of the main building. When this addition {s completed the total frontage of the building will be sixty-one feet. Some Improvements. Plans have teen prepared by George S. Cooper, architect, for three houses te be erected for himself by J. H. Hunt, builder, on 7th street between G and H streets southeast.

The structure will be three ‘stories in height, with basement, and have a froat of selected red brick and Hummelstown brown stone. “There will be an octagon bay low, and the roof {ts to be of the man- sard variety. The interior is to be finished fu the colonial siyle. Cc. A. Didden, architect, has prepared plans for a three-story storage warehouse of modern fireproof construction. Sketch plans are being prepared by Wm. A Poindexter, architect, for an addition to the Austrian legation on Connecticut ave- rue near N street. Three brick dwellings will be erected on 34th street between F and G streets south- east by J. T. Moxley. They will each be two stories ané cellars, with pressed brick fronts. A brick stable and bakery will be erect- ed In the rear of 2127 G street northwest for Mr. Joseph Bender by J. M. Dunn, builder. The structure is to be two stories in helght, built of hard red brick and will have a frontage of twenty-five feet and a depth of thirty-seven feet.

Z Unless something at present unforeseen should happen in the interim between now and the election day, St. Louis will, on November 3, have the distinction of claim- ing as one of her citizens a man who has participated in the election of twenty-two Presidents of the United Staes. The gen- tleman who has this: distinguished claim to. fleeting fame is W. “Jack” Haynes, an inmate of the Memorial Home on Grand and Magnolia avenues. , When Mr. Haynes registered at the polis in his precinct last Tuesday, and told the judges his age, the election officials nearly had a fit. Mr. Haynes was born in 7 and is a trifle over 108 years of age. As is rat- ural with a man who has had his eyes open so long a time, Mr. Haynes {is an enthusi- astic advocate of the Jeffersonian principles of democracy, and intends to vote the straight winning ticket for Bryan and the free coinage of silver. Mr. Haynes’ patri- archal and venerable appearance, with his silvery hair and beard, is a constant re minder to the other frisky youngsters of seventy and eighty, in the home, of the predominant issue in this campaign. He is a very well-preserved old man, despite his heavy years, and he declares that it will wequire a greater physical ratio than six- teen republicans to prevent his one vote from helping to swell Bryan's plurality in this city. Mr, Haynes is a veteran of the battle of ‘New Orleans and of the civil war. He is an old river engineer, and was in charge of a gunboat on the lower Mississippi during the rebellion. He has been an inmate of the home about three years. Here’s a Labor-Saver. From the New Ycrk Journal’ : Opening an envelope by pulling a string is the latest labor-saving device. Like ail simple contrivances, it seems queer no one ‘thought of it before, but that doesn’t im- ‘pair its usefulness. Any envelope can be equipped with the sopener. An ordinary piece of thread is in- serted at the top cf the flap, and when the fold is w.ade the thread projects from one end. To open -the envelope all that is nec- essary to do Is to pull back the thread. ~ This envelope opener is purely a New York affair, and it promises to be very popular with the busy business man.

The Japanese ladies, of course, make tea to perfection; somehow the cup that chcers but does not inebriate seems to be always associated with the dainty little women who fiit abput like so many gorgeous hum- ming birds in beautiful Japan, seeming de- termined not to be outdone by the glorious scenery in the midst of which they live and die. The approved Japanese style of tea mak- ing is as follows: From a kettle of boiling water they pour into an earthen or china teapot enough to heat the pot thorouguly; then they empty out the water and put in the tea, let it stand five minutes and serve. The teapot must not touch the stove. A little tea cozy of Japanese is clapped over the teapot the moment the water is poured on, and a delicious cup of tea is thus secured without having extracted the injurious ingredient—the tannin. —_____-e-____ Ben. Franklin’s Canada Newspaper. From the Chicago Record "One can’ pick up lots of interesting little bits of information if he keeps his eyes and ears open. The Montreal Gazette, the oldest and one of the most influential pa- pers in Canada, was established by Benja- min Franklin, although I have not been able te find a reference to the fact in any of his biographies. During the revolution- ary war Ethan Allen and a battalion of his “Green Mountein” boys attacked Mon- treal, but were defeated and made priscn- ers by Governor General Carleton. Mont- gomery came later, captured the city, and took possession of the government houses in the name of the Continental Congress. Then Benjamin Franklin came north, as a sort of informal ambassador, and endeav- cred to persuade the Canadians to join New England and the other colonies in the revolution. Among other measures used by him to influence public opinion was the establishment of a newspaper, called the Garette, which stilt remains as a: memorial of the incident, and it is now the most uncompromising of loyalists. + o-++___ Gold From. a ‘€ovher Stone. From the New York Journal. + New Jersey burglafs ate getting pretty mean. The town of Peal-River, just across the New. York line, was much exercised yesterday over the discovéry that some en- terprising but sacrilegioWs criminals have stolen the corner ‘sténe ‘of the “Methodist Church. They did not steal.the‘church, presuma- bly because they did ‘not ‘want it, and did not carry the stone very far. But they pried it far enough otft and away from the building to carry away the tin box which had been placed in it when the foundation of the church. was laid. ‘The tin box con- tained a number of pape that were valu- able. The corner stone wws very large, and the thieves must have sbent considerable time in getting it loose from the mortar. A reward hasbeen offered for their arrest. The box also contained a $5 gold piece. It iggthought the het financial discussion of the bending campaign may have reminded some old citizen of the presence of the gold coin in the corner ztone, but so far the crime has not been laid :to the door:of any particular party. —_—_+e-____. A Clear Utterance. From the Milwaukee Sentinel. According to the New York Journal, which ought at least to be accurate in its reports of Mr. Bryan’s speeches, a recent address of his contained this remarkable utterance: “up% ETAION SHRDLU CMF- WYP VBG KQi.” Whatever else Mr. Bryan has or hes not said on the silver question, the Supreme Court and other vital matters, this, at least, is clear and ‘unequivocal. ‘can easily be shown that the right side is Love and Confidence. From Harper's Basar. e - I. asked a clever, well-known doctor only today what advice he would give the newly married. “I would tell the woman,” he eald, “never to let her husband think he had quite won her, that there was not still something held in reserve to give him. A woman never seeins to think she ought to be fascinating to her husband after mar- riage.” He lectured the woman, of course. ‘There is a universal tendency in mankind to do this. Yet another doctor I know once said in my hearing that he believed from all he had seen that the happiness of mar- rlage depended primarily upon the ian. Were he worth anything, the peace of the household was assured. Letters to the newly married, then, should be addressed to both. There is much that might be said. First of all, that neither take the devotion of the other for granted, making no effort to cultivate or retain what each felt to be a due. Th2re is nothing one should kill quicker in :ar- riage than the first tendency in either one to discuss the peculiarities of the other before a third person. Nothing is =nore fatal and nothing is more vulgar. No one can ever take a greater liberty with the other. These personalities are never fun- ny, though they are often made to do serv- ice as family jokes brought out for the en- tertainment of the stranger. Were I to write such a letter as that mother des:rib- ed I should like to beg that nagging be prohibited, and teasing secrets; that mutual concessions be indulged; that every disap- pointment in the other be regarded as an opportunity for helping that other, and not as an excuse for alienation; and I should beg that the one who had a trouble share it with the other, so that neither go ubout with evidences of worry while dezlarin: that nothing is the matter. “Oh, nothing! in answer to a loving inquiry from husbaad or wife sensitive to disturbed conditions in one loved is often the first wedge which ultimately drives both apart. AN EYE TO BUSINESS. A Philadelphia Chinaman W Dry Shirts on the City Ha! From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Three Chinamen were in the big 2levator which carried the “Odd Bits” man to one of the upper offices in the city hall a day or two ago. “What floor?” queried the elevator man. Knowledge of the English language was evidently a scarce article with the Mon- golians, for they looked at each other and at the elevator man. Then they chattered among themselves for a moment. “No flool,” one of them finally said. “Loot.” They were carried up as far as the ele- vator went and then direct to the stairway, which leads out upon the roof of the hail. The “Odd Bits” man followed them. The Chinamen wandered over the top of the big buildings arm in arm, looking up and down and around, but never venturing very near the edge anywhere. “No like fall,” one of them explained. “Very much hurt.” The big tower held their attention most. They stood and gazed at it with wide open mouths for a long time. “Him velly high,” the talkative one of the three suggesied to an attache of the building. “Yes,” the latter responded with to a bystander, “four thousand fee! The wonderful information was received without any comment by the Chinamen and the joke was lost. If the attache had said twenty-thousand it would have been all the same. When they had inelinatton the stairway, 2 giate building,” the spokesman cen- fided' to the watchman at the door. “We come some more.” “And they will,” was the watchman’s comment. “‘We have a batch of them ev- ery (lay. They're welcome, too, all except one fellow I know.” “Why isn’t he welcome?” “Because he suggested one day he was up here that the roof would be a ‘glate place to dly shirts.’ I gave him a line of talk that must have scared him, for he hasn't been back since.” eels! Roof. wink tisfied their sightseeing longolians started for the How the Arabs Sleep. Frem the London Public Opinion. The fact that in Algeria there are very few maladies of the nose, ears and throat has caused Dr. Madeuf, an eminent French physician, to inquire into its cause, and he has fcund it due in a large measure to the practice of Arab mothers, who train their children to sleep on a hard bed with one or two coverlets for bed clothing, and to He on their sides, not on their backs. It preferable to the left for a person to sleep on. For cne thing, the action of the heart or liver is not impeded in any way by the pressure of the body when one lies on the right side. Dr. Madeuf seems to think that sleeping on the back is the worst of all. If there is any irritation of the muccus membrane of the nose, it is apt to extend to the ears and throat when one sleeps in this position. Mareover, one is very prone to breathe by the mouth, which is neither a healthy nor a seemly habit. The doctor, therefore, counsels all mozhers to accus- tom their children to hard beds and to sleep on their sides—above all, on their right sides. The habit formed in infai.cy will be useful to them in their vay through life, and probably save them from more than one Sllness. ——_—__+e+—____ AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c. Today. R. S.
