REAL ESTATE GOSSIP Mon of Moderate Means as a Business Factor. OFTEN THE BACKBONE OF THE MARKET In Favor of Day’s Labor for All Dis- trict Work. NUMBER OF BUILDINGS There is a good deal of talk about the revival of business activity and in this connection the statement is sometimes heard that when confidence is restored men of means will commence to invest their money. No doubt this wili be the case, but it is claimed to be only a par- tial statement of what will happen when the financial depression is lifted. There is ro doubt that the release of money from the places where it is now hoarded and its being turned into the active chan- nels of business will be the features of the expected commercial revival. But that all this money will come from the coffers of rich men shows a misconception of the condition of modern business. For example there are comparatively few rich men who build homes, but there are many hundreds of men of moderate ncans who secure homes for them- selves. If the small house purchaser is removed from the market real estate would be dull even during a period of what is considered good times. It may se2m a small matter, the erection of a house costing a féw thousand dollars, but when it is considered that it Is only one of many it can be easily understood that the volume of business from this source alone is a considerable one during the course of a year. Of course there are a class of men who erect houses largely by means of borrowed money, and that, as a rule, is obtained from the associated capital of people of small means. But even where speculative builders, as they are called, are rich men and employ their own money, yet they are dependent upon the man of moderate means for a market and if that element is eliminated all this class of building must come to an end. Erecting New Buildings. Some interesting figures are furnished by the board of assessors in regard to the number of buildings in the District. It is stated that there is a total of nearly 45,000 buildings. While there has been no regular record made of the number of buildings in the District each year, still there 1s no doubt that if statistics of this character were available that they would show a steadily increasing number of these im- provements. As the population has grown without check it follows that there must have been additions to the house accom- modations « the District. In the case of a city line Washington, where the growth has been steady, it is sometimes necessary to resort to statistics in order to bring home to the minds of those who have spent most of their lives here the fact that this city 1s forging ahead at a rate that is a gratifying evidence of pros- perity. Jn Place of the Contract System. In undertaking to complete the Stevens Schcol building, upon the failure of the bondsmen to carry out the terms of their suspended coatractor, Building Inspector Brady establishes a precedent. This is the first time the District has stepped in and completed a building. In fact, there is only one other instance in the records of the department where a contractor failed ab- solutely to finish a District building. Not only, it is claimed, will the District be benefited by the early completion of this building, which should have been fin- ished and occupied some time ago, but all of the laborers and material men who have claims against the eontractor will receive very nearly all that is due them. And further than this they will all be re-em- picyed. This experiment is looked upon as opportun some for the reason that the Commissioners will make an effort at_the ion of Congress to have all Dis- trict work done by day's labor, and the case of the Stevens School will furnish an apt illustration of what can be done. It is only by the merest coincidence that Inspector Brady finds himself in a position to complete this building without involving the District in expénse for which there is propriation. The contract price for the completion of the Stevens School was scme $6.000 below the appropriation. The difference was to be used in tmproving the grounds and making other minor improve- ments whe! necessary. With this nest egg the building can be completed as originally designed and all claims satisfied. Done by the District. Auditor Petty has been worried not a litue, he states, by claimants for work done and material furnished contractors who are behind in their bills. In his an- nual report, which will shortly be pub- lished, he proposes to urge the Commis- sioners to change the system. Like In- Spector Brady, he believes the District is competent to do the work, and should be allowed a chance at least to show what it can do. It is understood that there will be oppo- sition to any proposition looking to a sys- tem of day's labor. The opponents urge rrimarily that workmen will not give as much service as they now do under con- tractors, and, as an evident result, each building will cost more and take longer to complete. Mrs. Hawkins’ Residence. Architects C. A. Sherman and A. H. Son- nemann have prepared designs for and will erintend the construction of a new res- idence which Mrs. S. Hawkins will build at Tenleytown, D. C. The ground-floor plan embracea a generous reception hall, parlor, dining room, pantries and kitchen, and the house will be surrounded on two sides by a wide veranda. The second story will contain bed chambers, bath room, etc., while the third is devoted to the servant quarters. The exterior of the building will be treated in a modest and homelike style. Some Improvements. Plans have been prepared by E. F. Et- tinger, architect, for a three-story brick hceuse to be erected at 305 and 307 10th street northwest for M. Gatti and Mrs. A. Reiter. A three-story and basement building will be erected at » G street northwest for Mary J. McAllister from plans prepared by Waddy B. Wood architect. KE.

He is a most ardent and skillful hunter. His rabbit hounds are famously well bred, his setters are splendidly trained and his ducking yacht is the envy and de- spair of his brother nimrods. Yet a week ago Mr. Welnheimer came back from a hunting trip at South mountein with but one poor little rabbit at his belt. He swore a good, big, round exclamaticn point that he would have some sport somewhere, and headed for Westmoreland county, Va. Yes- terday he came home after five days’ shoot- ing. During that time he shot 7 wild tur- keys, 73 rabbits and 106 squirrels. Mr. Weinheimer knows the best hunting grounds in reach of Washington sportsmen, and says the trouble at South mountain was the drought. There is game there, but until wet weather the dogs cannot catch or keep the scent. ——_>—__ Have You Any Ambition To ——— reliable a for yourself or your 50, “the best,” which is “Johnson's oc fe ‘WEST VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS. They Hold a Final Rally and Listen te Lively Speeches, ‘The final rally of the West Virginia Re- Publican Club was held last night at Mon- tmental Hall, 133 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, and was largely attended. An interesting feature of the meating was an_ address by District Attorney A. A. Birney, Who was severe in his criticism of Mr. Bryan and his associates, and who created much enthusiasm by reviewing the records of Tillman, Pennoyer, Waite, Altgeld, Lew- ellyn and Peffer. The interest in Mr. Bir- ney’s address was increased by the fact that his fatacr, William Birn2y, recently announced himself as a supporter of Can- didate Bryan. Mr. Birney ssid he had no doubt whatever about West Virginia’s ver- dict in the coming election, and he was sure the destinies of the nation would be turned over into proper hands. Jidge Charles F. Scott, who presided over the meeting, made a short address, declaring that the majoriiy McKinley would receive would effectually crush out anything like anarchy in this country for many years to come. After the meeting adjourned transportation certificates were distribute among upward of eighty West Virginia voters who will go home to vote. ——.—__ FOR THE GRAND JURY. Two Cases of Importance to Be Con- sidered. ¢ John R. Gillam, a colored messenger in the bureau of statistics, was arrested last night by Officer Barker of the secret ser- vice on suspicion that he had robbed the desk of J. D. O'Connell, a clerk, of $150. When the case was first reported com- plaint was made to the police, and Detec- tives Boyd and Helan wanted to arrest Gil- lam, but refrained from doing so because the secret service officers wanted to make an investigation. Last night when Gillam was arrested he promptly admitted his guilt, and told where he had put away $80 of the money at the house of a friend on K street. The balance of the money, he said, he spent in the “Division.” This morning, when the case was called in court on a charge of grand larceny, the colored mes- senger pleaded guilty. Judge Miller heard the evidence of the Prosecuting witness, who said that his of- fice was entered during the night and his desk opened and robbed. a The case was sent to the grand jury and the defendant was committed in default of bail. William Reed and Clarence Benson. the painters who were arrested on a charge of stealing a diamond ring and $28 from the house of Miss Hillman, 227 3d street. as published in yesterday’s Star, were also given a preliminary hearing. ~ Detectives Boyd, Helan and Lacey an Precinct Detective Hartigan made the ar- rests and recovered the ring. This is the same ring that was stolen by Hattie Cross, who was sentenced to the penitentiary. The officers told of their investigation and ar- rest of the defendants. Other witnesses were examined in the case, and the court held the defendants for the grand jury. They were committed to jail in default of $1,000 security. ————— WANTED TO LEARN, Geo. Lewis Prefers the Penitentiary to the Jail. It 1s not often that a man prefers the penitentiary to the jail, but George W. Lewis so expressed himself to Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. 1 yesterday after- noon. Lewis, a white man, of nearly three scoze years, was arraigned on a charge of steal- ing a $75 bicycle frcm Edward W. Zea the 9th of this month. He entered a flea of guilty, and then told the judge that he recently came to Philadelphia from Chi- cago with a load of cattle. The cattle drover cheated him, so he said, aud then he came to Washingtom to obtain a dupli- cate of his discharge from the navy in 1865. He became intoxicated, took the wheel, and being unable to ride, offered to sell it to a young man tor $5. The stranger requested him to go to a police station to convirce him that the bicycle really belonged to him. He accom- panied him there, but upon reaching the staticn he voluntarily and frankly ac- ‘knowledged stealing it. “I rever was in trouble before,” said Lewis to Judge Cole, “and am only here because I was drunk at the time. I can hardly hope that you will release me, but I hope, sir, that instead of sending me to jail you will cend me to the penitentiary, for I have no trade and can learn one in the penitentiary. I am well known in Texas, as you may learn by writing to people there.”” Judge Cole deferred sentence until he could communicate with persons in Texas mentioned by Lew! SS The Star's Election News. The Evening Star’s election news will completely cover every point of interest in the country. In addition to the facilities afforded by the wide-reaching arrange- ments of the Associated Press, The Star has posted staff and special correspondents at all the important news centers, and the readers of The Star will enjoy the benefit ef a service unrivaled for accuracy, full- ness and completeness. Those who want to get the quickest and best news should arrange to get Tuesday’s editions of The Star.

The Star will receive and display the bul- letins of the Associated Press, the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph companies, besides the special bulletins of its own corps of correspondents and the election news to be gathered and distributed over the country by long distance telephone. ——— Anthropological Society.

It was all on account of a baby boy that Dr. King had been receiving the congratula- tions of his immediate friends all day., He had no idea the news had reached the ‘col- lege until Dr, Ford Thompson gave him a quiet tip to look out for the boys upstairs. Suspended from the electric incandescent lights, immediately over the platform, one at each end, were two dolls, one dressed to represent a boy and the other a girl, Dr. King’s family. When the favorite pro- fessor entered the class room the students were humming the strains of “Baby, Baby, Dance My Darling Baby,” from “Wang.” Then followed a din of rattles and cheers that could be heard on 14th street. Phe doctor was overwhelmed at thé reception and ‘made a felicitous speech. After the lecture he cut the babies down and took @ rattle home with him to his new baby y- _——— EXCURSIONS.
