HOUSES RECENTLY OCCUPIED Social Centers as Well as Scenes of Domestic Life. ————o MOBERN INTERIORS + HIEF JUSTICE Fuller's new home at the northwest corner of 18th and F streets is one of the oldest houses in that local- ity. As the residence of the late Mrs. Will- iam Thomas Carroll and of her daughter, the Countess Ester- hazy, it 1s identified with much that has formed delightful so- elal history for the last half century. The house was built nearly seventy years ago, and in spite of the whirligig of time and fashions its in- terior arrangements are quite in keeping with the present ideas of a comfortable home. The house has a southern exposure, and, in fact, as far as light and air are concerned, it has the full benefit from every side. The back porches extend the entire width of the house and are inclosed in glass. A large garden, surrounded by high brick walls, quite after the style of years ago, covers more space on the west than FULLER'S RESIDENCE. is occupigd by. the solid square house itself. is a cozy seat arranged around the bay window, which, tastefully set off with cush- fons, makes a most attractive feature. There is a square hall at the head of the stairs, and the drawing room, library and dining room and the rooms of the west wing open upon it. The library is a sunny exposures. The entrance on 16th street is approached by a semi-circular driveway. The wide hall which divides the rooms is richly finished in marbles and woods. In the dining rooms, which is at the right, there is a massive green stone fireplace and man- tel. The windows of the drawing room and the reception room open down to the floor on smaif balconies, and offer but little re- sistance to the sunshine, which is a great charm of the house. Mr. Hay’s library or den ts upstairs, and has all the appearance of the workshop of a literary man. Senator Elkins’ Home. Senator Elkins’ new home, 1626 K street, is the first that he has owned in Washing- ton, having, during each of his previous residences here, occupied rented houses. The house is one of the most striking of those erected during the last ‘ten years in the West End. In one particular at least -| —the extent of the frontage—it is exceeded by very few. The architecture of the house is colonial in type. It is built of light stone and brick, and seems particularly suitable to this climate. The house was built by Mr. Henry Stone of Chicago seven or eight years ego for a residence, but was never occupied by him or any one else until this winter, when Senator Elkins and family took possession. The lower story is an English basement, and the porch is as wide as the square hall. The decoration was never completed until after its purchase by Senator Elkins, and artisans are still busy with the drawing-room floor. The changes that have been made in the last few months have entirely done away with the unhomelike and somewhat forbidding air of the house. Large panes of glass have been substituted for the smal] squares in the windows and doors, and a brightening touch is apparent in every direction. The rooms on the south side have all the benefit of the sun, and are, therefore, the living rooms of the household. The vestibule has a tiled floor and js appropriately furnished with heavily carved tables and chairs, handsome rugs and some fine pleces of bronze making the first glimpse of the in- terior very attractive. aay S pit ALEXANDER GRABAM BELLS.

The Elkinses have a splendid home in the West Virginia mountains, where the fami- ly spends the seasonable months each year. Alexander Graham Bell’s Home. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell's spacious home, 1331 Connecticut avenue, never looked to better advantage than upon the occasion last week of the coming-out ball for their daughter, Miss Beil. Each of the rooms and hall was lavishly decorated with flowers, all of which, with many of the bouquets sent the fair debutante, found their way the next day to the bedsides of the siek poor in several institutions. The Bell house has the benefits and charm of a southern exposure and an adjoining garden. The broad™stone portico at the entrance is an indication of the generous lines 1 which the whole house has been built. drawing room, library, hall and a wide staircase and the dining room take up the first floor.

An Unpublished Incident in the Life of the Man of Destiny. From the New York Herald. The Man of Destiny stood on Christmas day watching the walls of Moscow toppling before the flames. “Ney,” he said, abruptly, turning to his faithful companion in arms, “why does yender falling sanctuary remind me of the general cowardice of those Russian serfs, as well as of the name of this fast incin- erating city?” “I know not,” repliéd the marshal, re- spectfully saluting. s “Knave! poltroon!! idiot!!! ninny!!!!" ex- claimed Napoleon, hy, forsooth? Because I see the mosque cow before the flames?” It was a cold day, too, when the Man of Destiny waxed facetious. SRE a mand Tragedy. From the New York Commercial Advertiser.

The tendency of the local wholesale pro- duce market today is upward, and a gen- eral advance In most products may, there- fore, be expected during the coming week. Much to the surprise of the trade, how- ever, quite a fall in butter was witnessed during the present week, and today prices are about 4 cents a pound lower than they were this time last week. The slump is unaccountable, and a reaction may be looked for which will advance prices to about what they were a week ago. Eggs have not yet taken the jump that was expected last week, being quoted today as they were last week. It is almost certain, however, that they will materially ad- vance during the coming week. Cheese remains unchanged both as to condition and price. The cold weather and the ad- vance of the holiday season have mater‘ ly advanced the price of poultry, and Christmas quotations are more than likely to be much higher than they were at Thanksgiving day. Game is also affected by the holiday demand, but vegetables and fruits, while giving evidence of an upward movement, have not yet materially advanced. Beef and other meats remain | about as last reported. The market is | firm and well supplied, and the Christ- mas market promises to be one of the finest in every respect ever seen here. | In butter the following prices are pre- | vailing toda’ Elgin extras, 22 cents a pound; choice, 20; firsts, 19; seconds, 18; choice stock, 15; New York tubs. 18; dairy print, 16; western, 14; Maryland and Virginia creamery, 18; dairy packed, 14.
