REAL ESTATE GOSSIP A Gratifying Improvement Noticeable in the Local Market. Architects, Builders and Agents Re- gard the Future With Much Hopefalness, A visit sround among architects, builders and real estate men during the past week has developed the gratifying fact that real estate conditions are rapidly assum- ing @ heal:hy appearance. Architects are by on plans of projected buildings which embrace improvements in all parts of the city and particularly in the north- ern and erstern sections. Builders re- port a ecnsiderable amount of preliminary inquiry, which indicates that business will be brisk as scon as the season fully opens, and it is possible now for dealers in realt to secure purchasers for eligible property, something that has not been accomplished ithout very great difficulty for a long time p There are indications also that a grea’ any houses which have not been eligible as rental property on account of their lack of conveniences and comforts will be rer-odeled this year and in this way a large amount of well-located inside prop- erty made attractive to tenants. The Inter- Ocean buiiding on 9th street between E and F streets is to have a new and imposing front, reirforced by a_steel frame tied into the lateral wall. It will be remem- bered thet after the heavy storm of last year a number of cracks appeared in the front of the building, which caused its condemnation of the building inspector. The owners of the building were confident that the cracks did not affect the stability of the structure in the least because the reason for their appearance was, they. knew, not due to the force of the storm, but to a fault In the original construc- tion of the building. The Inter-Ocean was the first of the so-called Chicago construc- tion to be erected in this city. Extending upward through the front of the building and inclosed in the brickwork are a series of steel pillars, and when these were placed in position the builder conceived the idea of placing lead pillars at the junction of the pillars, where they rested one upon the other to prevent possible slipping. When the building was completed the weight rest- Ing on these pillars caused the lead to be squeezed out and the front sagged in con- sequence. The fact of the front being con- demned, however, and the dangerous ap- pearance of It affected in no small degree the attraction of the building as a de- sirable business property, and consequent- ly it was determined to put in a new front. Architect T. F. Schneider has made the design, which is very handsome. The first and second stories will be of granite, a large arched entrance flanked by polished pillars of the same material being a strik- ing feature. The third story will be of In- diana limestone, and the remaining six will be of white brick ornamented with stone. Stone pillars will extend upward through the eighth and ninth stories and support an ornamental stone frieze and balustrade at the roof level. It is understood that a large mercantile establishment will occupy the building when the improvements are . Didden is preparing plans and basement apartment house, to be erected by Albert Carry on the lot at the corner of 14th and Binney streets, Columbia He The structure will oc- cupy a space 55 by 150 feet, and will have fronts on both streets. Light-colored mot- tled brick with terra cotta ornaments will rise from an artistic base of either Vermont marble or Richmond granite. The interior floors wil be supported by steel culumns and girders, and the corridors will be tiled and wainscoted with mosaic. At the cor- ner of Binney and 14th streets there will be a tower, which will add to the architectural features. The building will be steam-heated and equipped with electric lights and bells, and each suite of apartments will consist of a parlor, dining room, sleeping rooms and a tled bath. There will be two e! vators. Architect F. B. Pyle has completed plans for a summer colonial residence for Dr. Henry D. Fry, to be erected in Wesley Heights, D. C.. on the Tunlaw road, near the new university site. The structure will be of stone and frame, 38 by 42 feet in di- mensions, with spacious double veranda on two sides, combined with a circular pro- jection and portcochere. There will be three floors, the first providing for a spa- cious living hall, stair hall, dining reom, pantry and kitchen. The second will be di- vided into five chambers, hall and bath, while the basement will be adapted to ser- vants’ quarters and cellar. A cozy Lay window with seat has been arrenged on a landing half-way up the main stair-ase. A massive brick mantel will be a feature of the living hall. The decorations will be tasteful and refined. The same architect has prepared for a frame sta plans to be erected for Dr. Fry, near this site, the same to be two stories. Carriages will be provided for on the upper floor, while the horses will be stabled on the first. The stable will be 16 by 30 feet. A six-story and basement apartment house will be built by Redford W. Walker & Son from plans prepared by C. L. Hard- ing. architect, on the west side of 2st street between R and S streets. The total st will be $50,000. B. Stanley Simmons, architect. has pi pared plans for ten dwellings to be ere for Charles R. Pickford at G01, 6¢ and 645 on Sth street and 646 to street northeast. Melton & Watts are to be the builders, and the total cost will be about $25,000. The houses will have sev- enteen-foot and nineteen-foot fronts, will be two stories in height. with cellar, and have stone basements. The fronts will be varied in design. Plans have been prepared by H. B. Da- vis, architect, for two brick dwellings to be erected for Mrs. Amelia J. Lyle on 4th street southeast. The structures will be three stories in height, with basement, and have fronts of pressed brick. The cost will be about $5,000. R. F. De Grain will build a two-story and basement brick and Hummelstown brown- stone dwelling for himself on G street be- tween th and 7th streets southeast. The stracture will have a frontage of 34 feet and a depth of 50 feet. The plans were prepared by Ewald Schmitt, architect. Extensive alterations will be made to St. Teresa's Church in Anacostia from plans Prepared by Joseph C. Johnson, architect. A_ brick extension will be built in the rear of the present structure that will provide twenty additional feet of seating space. The extension will be 25 feet deep and con- tain an 1-foot square sacristy projection and a room for the aitar boys, and will be used as a sanctuary. Space for two side altars has also been provided. William J. Palmer, architect, has pre- pared plans for a two-story addition to be at the rear of che printing office of Byron Adams, on 11th street. The addi- tion will be 30 by 40 feet, and will cost about $2.500. —— Our Rubber Goods Are Not Elastic in quality. Best grades only. Wearables for wet weather.

The committee on organization of the Central Labor Union held the weekly meet- ing last Saturday evening at Electrical Workers’ Hall, 508 11th street northwest. Because of the continued absence of the chairman, T. B. Lacey of the Overative Plasterers’ Association, the chair was de- clared vacant, and Joseph Patterson of the Electrical Workers’ Union was chosen to fill the vacancy. The subcommittee having in charge the details for the anniversary meeting of the Central Labor Union, which will be held this evening at Typographical Temple, re- ported that all arrangements had been completed for the occaston. The committee decided to recommend to the Central Labor Union the formation of a ladies’ auxiliary, for the advancement of the interests of organized labor. The object is to familiarize the wives and sis- ters of members of organized labor with the fair and unfair products and also with those who are friendly to organized labor. It is sald that an organization of this char- acter will become an aid to the organiza- tions, which will command respect and wield an tmmense influence. Such organizations are maintained in many cities of the country, and have proved to be of great benefit, having a field peculiarly their own ——.__ Continued Today. The hearing by Judge Cole of testimony in the contest over the custody of the two children of Dr. Wm. S. and Mrs. Lavinia Lofton was not concluded Saturday after- noon, and the case was continued until 3 o'clock today. THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, MARCH AMUSEMENTS. os The Saengerbund Concert—The Wash- irgton Saengerbund gave its second and last concert of the season last night at the Columbia Theater. The audience was a large one and included besides the mem- bers and friends of the organtzation—who are legion—a number of the music-loving People of the city, who are always ready to attend a concert of this character. The program which was selected for this con- cert was perhaps the best one ever present- ed by the Saengerbund, and each number was received in the heartiest manner pos- sible. The soloists of the evening were Miss Carrie W. Myers, soprano, of Balti- more; Miss Lily Wignall, violoncellist, of London, and Mr. Sol Minster, violinist, of this city. The Saengerbund appeared in two numbers, and it is safe to say that the organizition never appeared to better ad- Vantage than it did last night. Mr. Henry Xander, the musical director, has had the chorus under the most careful supervision for some time in preparation, and his work was manifest at almost every turn. The rhoruses given were ‘‘Donroeschen” and Und die Menschen sie nenen es Liebe,” by ander, and “Wenn Zwei Sich Gut Sind,” the two latter being given as one number. Mr. Xander’s composition was well received and showed the remarkable talent of the popular conductor. The Saen- gerbund was assisted by a picked orchestra of thirty musicians, which added material- ly to the enjoyment of the evening. It opened the concert with the overture “Zampa,” and later gave the ‘“‘Tannhauser March.” Miss Myers sang the aria from ‘Der Frieschutz,” and gave a pleasing interpretation of the well-known score. She sang later Luckstone’s waltz song, ‘‘De- light.” For encores she sang a slumber song, by Moszkowski, and a song by Von Fielton, both being well given. Mr. Sol Minster played Vieuxtemps’ “Fantasie Ap- pasionata,"’ and played the difficult num- ber remarkably well, receiving an emphatic encore. He responded with Sarasate’s “Gypsy Dances.” His work was of a higa order and earned the recognition it re- ceived. The star of the concert, however, was the violoncellist, Miss Wignall. She played an andante, by Goltermann, and “Am Springbrunnen,” by Davidoff. As an encore she gave a Spanish dance, by Pop- per. Miss Wignall is a finished artist, and her playing has not been equaled in this city by any violoncelligt in a long time. H-~ tone was superb, while the expression anu che feeling in her work denoted the true spirit of the musician. One of the n-ost pleasing numbers on the program was the trio, in which Mr. Xander, Miss Wig- nall and Mr. Minster appeared, Mr. Xander being at the piano. They gave Gade's “Novelletin,” and received the heartiest kind of applause. Dr. Collins’ Lectures.—Rey. Dr. Varnum D. Collins, by request, will deliver four pepular lectures at the Fifth Congrega- tional Church, corner Sth and I streets northeast, at 8 o'clock in the evening on the following dates: Tuesday, March 23; Friday, April 2; Friday, April 9, and Fri- day, April 16. The respective subjects of the addresses are “A Horseback Ride Across South America;” “Utah, Its Grea Salt Lake, Capital and Peculiar People “The Tai-Ping Rebellion in China, from 184) to 1865, the Greatest in History “Some Eminent Persons With V Have Conversed.” Dr. Collins has traveled in many lands, and the larger part of his addresses are made from personal expe- riences which he has undergone. Collec- tions will be madé at these lectures for the benefit of the church building fund. Distinguished People Expected.—The opening performance of the new American play, “The Man-o'-Warsman,” at the Grand Opera House tonight. will, it is expected, be attended by Secretary of the Navy Long and a delegation of Massachusetts Con- gressmen, headed by Representative Fitz- gerald. Thomas Shea, who takes the leading part, is a resident of Boston, and when in Canton last month the then Presi- dent-elect told him that he should attend the play in Washington should his official duties permit him to take the time. A spe- cial invitation has been sent President McKinley, and it is expected that he will be present with the party tonight. The Biograph—The Biograph will con- tinue In Washington for another week. Its pepularity at Willard Hall has been in a measure unprecedented. From the time of its first appearance in Washington the pat- ronage has increased weekly, but the de- mand for it in other cities has grown so strong that it cannot be disregarded. The churches ard schools are becoming intense- ly interested in it, and during the remaining period of the Biegraph in the city a number of days have been set aside for benetiis given by church societies. Several of the high class schocls of the city have asked that a special hour be set aside for the ben- efit of the pupils, as they find it impossible to attend during school hours. This priv- ilege has been accorded by the management and every possible effort will be made to accommodate the numerous applicants. During this week a private entertainment will be given to President McKinley and his invited guests. Many new views have becn added to the list of illustrations, which now number almost thirty, every one life-size end true to nature. Among the new vie are scenes of the inauguration, showing natural as Ife President McKinley at vari- ous places during the inaugural ceremonies and also many of the prominent features of the parade. Interest continues to center in the wonderful portrayal of the two great express trains, moving at a rate of sixty miles an hour; Niagara Falls, the bathing scene from Atlantic City, the burning barn and others of equal merit. As the stay of the Biograph is now so limited, it would be well to sce It at once, or probably miss one of the most marvelous inventions of the age. Daily performances are given at 2 4:50 and 8:15 p.m. Mr. Fox's Reading.—The lecture and read- ing given by Mr. Fox at the Washington Club Friday afternoon was one of the mest enjoyable entertainments of the kind that has been given here this season. The at- iendance was large, and the scholarship fund of the Vassar Students’ Aid Society, under whose auspices the entertainment was given, was benefited materially. Mr. Fox gave two readings, “The Southern Mountaineer,” which was in the nature of a lecture, and a short sketch entitled “Hell fer Sartin’,” in response to the liberal ap- plause which followed his first subject. ‘The last of the lectures given by the Vassar Students’ Aid Society this year will occur next Friday afternoon at the Washington Club. The subject is “Art in the Congres- sional Library Building,” and the lecturer is Mr. Bernard R. Green, superintendent of the library building. The lecture will be handsomely illustrated by stereopticon views, many of which have never been shown before. Mr. Green will not deal with the construction of the building, but with the pictures, the statuary and the carvings that adorn it. Mme. Teresa Carreno.—The fourth of the series of Metropolitan concerts occurs Fri- day afternoon, April 9, at the Columbia Theater. To eppezse the disappointment of many who hcped to hear Roscnthal, the pianist, at this concert the management has arranged for Mme. Teresa Carreno, the greatest woman pianist of the century. Mme. Carreno caused the utmost enthus- jasm upon her recent appearance with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and many ex- pressed a wish that she could be heard in a recital. This opportunity is now offered. Mme. Carreno will have the assistance of Mme. Rosa Linde, contralto. The sale of tickets will open April 1, but advance or- ders for seats may be sent to Guzman, at E. F. Droop & Sons’. The fifth and con- cluding conccrt will be given Wednesday afternoon, April 21. The attraction, Mr. David Bispham, baritone, and Gregoro- witsch, the Russian violinist. ——.___ Death of W. H. Birch. Mr. William H. Birch, who for thirty years previous to his removal to Baltimore several years ago conducted a livery stable in Washington, died in the former city Saturday, and his funeral will take place this afternoon. Mr. Birch had been par- tially paralyzed for a number of years, as the result of being thrown out of a car- riage and dragged by a runaway team. He left a son, William H.

NO FAVORITISM SHOWN. The Case of the Base Bail Wheelmen Took the Regnlar Course. Officials at the Poléct Court take excep- tion to the publishet ¢omment on the re- cent arrest and relemse on collateral of Messrs. Selbach and Me Montreville of the Washington Base BalliClub. The case was disposed of as are -scores of a similar character daily, and ‘they say absolutely no favoritism was exercised in dealing with the defendants: mentioned—certainly not because their calaing happens to be that of base ball players. In order not to take:up the time of the court with such minor offenders it is the custom for the prosecuting attorney to in- vestigate their cases! in his office, and if they are not of an saggravated nature to permit the defendants: to forfeit a small collateral. The policeman in the case ex- plained that Messrs. Selbach and De Mon- treville unconsciously propelled their wheels a little more rapidly than the rate stipulated by the District Commissioners, and it was his duty to take them into cus- tody. On that statement of fact the collat- eral was fixed at one dollar by the pros- ecuting attorney. At no time was the case before the court, and consequently no fine was imposed. ee Boards, 12-in., 1c. per foot. Libbey & Co. — Advertisement. ee Officers Elected.

At a meeting of the Union Veterans’ Patri- otic League Saturday evening a committee ot three was appointed to present to the Secretary of Agriculture copies of certain charges which members of the league have preferred against Mr. F. L. Francis, cap- tain of the watch at the weather bureau. The charges are to the effect that Mr. Francis is an offensive partisan, reviles the memory of dead Union soldiers and has spoken most disrespegtfully of Gen. Grant and Gen. Garfield. Mr. Francis, while ad- mitting that he was a Bryan democrat, de- nies that he ever acted in an unpatriotic tmeanrer, and says that a thorough invest!- gation would clear him entirely. Se New Officers Elected. The home and foreign missionary so- cieties of Calvary Baptist Church have elected officers as follows For the home circle—President, Mrs. Geo. J.

To the Elitor of The Evening Star: A prominent paragraph in The Star cf March 18 states that “Captain Axtell S.

In the list of retired officers of the United States army there is no such name as Ax- tel S. Adams. VETERAN. —_ Boards, 12-in., 1c. per foot. —Aavertisemen a The Oldest West Pointer. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your aritcle on General Ruggles in Fri- day's Star it is stated that he is the oldest living graduate of West Point. That state- ment is certainly an erroneous one, as the honor of being the oldest graduate of West Point belongs to Brevet Major General Geo. S. Greene (first Heutenant, U. 8. A; re- tired), who entered the accademy June 24, 1519, graduated in 1828, nine years before General Rugzle: nd served with gallantry in the volunteers’ during the civil war, 1861-65. He is now dn his ninety-sixth par, and is still able ‘to attend banquets, reunions, ete. He is the father of Francis V. Greene, late captain, Corps of Engineers, U. 8. A., who will be remembered as an assistant to the Ergineer Commissioner of the District me years ago. Captain Greene, the younger, resigned from the army to en- gage in business, but that he bas not lost interest in milltary affairs is shown by the fact that he is the colonel of the 7ist Regi- ment, National Guard, state of New York— a regiment that made a splendid showing in the inaugural parade on the 4th instant. Respectfully yours, Ww. 8 P: fa gees Silver Ten. A silver tea was given by Mrs. Standley's class of young ladies at the home of Mrs. Moore, 2) 6th street northeast, Friday evening, for the benefit of Epworth M. E. Church South. The attendance was large. During the evening some artistically ar- ranged tableaux were shown. Refresh- ments were served, and much fun was created when some cakes that were left over were auctioned off. Financially the tea was a success, about $20 being raised. ale SE Mrs. Hastings Joins Her Husband. Gen. Hastings, the old commander of the 23d Ohio Regiment, to which President McKinley belenged, and whose leg was brcken recently on 15th street by a wagon running into htm, was joined at Garfield Hospital yesterday by his wife and her twelve-year-old son, who had come from Bermuda unon hearing of the accident. Gen. Hastings is slowly recovering from his severe injury. —= Sculptor EHicott’s Commission. Mr. Henry J. Ellicott, the local sculptor, who designed the statue of Gen.

The Ohio party of excursionists, which comprises ex-Gov. Flower of New York, Mrs, Flower and other ladies, Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Armour of New York, J. G. Jenkins of Brcoklyn and his son Wilson Jenkins of Brooklyn, Henry Seibert, also of Brooklyn, and Mr. Crosby S. Noyes, editor of The Evening Star, reached the City of Mexico March 11, over the Mexican (Vera Cruz) railway, in a special train consisting of a private, three first-class passenger and a bagrage car. The party had experienced a most de- lightful trip since leaving the United States, and in the Mexican Herald of March 12 an interview appeared, in which Mr. Noyes recounted the features of the extended journey. “We sailed from New York on February 6,” said Mr. Noyes, “and have visited Ber- muda, St. Thomas, St. Kitt’s, Dominica, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Barbadoes. Port of Spain and La Brea, in the Island of Trini- dad, La Guayra and Caracas in Venezuela; Santo Domingo, Jamaica; Progreso and Merida. We had to leave out Gaudeloupe, Martinique and Curacoa on account of the yellow fever, and we shall have to miss Havana for the same reason, but we are going to touch at Nassau instead. The trip has been a very interesting one. Speaking for myself I may say that Jamaica inter- ested me more than any other place before reaching the shores of Mexico. At La Guayra and Caracas we met with a very cordial reception. The Venezuelans think a good deal of Americans on account of the interest taken by the United States in their affairs. President Crespo gave us an audience which was very pleasant. Our visit to Progreso and Merida was very in- teresting. We inquired extensively into the sisai or hemp industry, and were quite surprised to find it of such importance. What pleased all the members of the party, and particularly the ladies, was the Picturesque dress of the yucatecas or wo- men of the peninsula, -which is scrupu- lously white and clean, and has an em- broidery of flowers along the edges. Our trip over this line has also been a revelation to us. I had no idea that so well-built a road was to be found here. Its engineering fea- tures are remarkable. I have traveled on all the famous mountain roads in the Himalayas, and have never seen anything superior in the way of scientific engineer- ing. The scenery, too, is magnificent. 1 have been all round the world once and half round several times, and have no- where seen finer scenery. We are to return to Vera Cruz next Monday, and are thence to sail for Nassau, Palm Beach, Florida, and New York, where we expect to be about March 24.” 5 —_—. lc. per feet. 6th & N.v.av. > Gave a Reception. ‘The District Woman's Suffrage Associa- tion gave a reception to the District Fed- eration of Clubs at the residence of Mrs. Case, 2027 I street northwest, Thursday evening.

But the charm- ing little daughters of Mrs. W. B.

He is a young colored man | Bes? 801 Drowsiness, Cold Chills, Fiushings of who has the indorsement of the Afro- American State League of Pennsylvania, and as a result he has assured his friends that there is little or no doubt of his secur- ing the appointment. His backers say that inasmuch as a Mr. Raymond of Altoona has withdrawn from the race, Mr. Ridley kas a clear field, and will certainly come under the wire a winrer. The claims cf Mr. Ridley of Media, Pa to a strictly local District office are modest- ly set forth in last week’s number of the Steelton Press of Steelten, Pa. A part of the article, which ts devoted to a laudation of Mr. Ridley, who, by the way, does not seem to realize that “there are cthers,” is as follows: “From all indications, Mr. Ridley will have a clear field for the office. J. B. Ray- mond of Altoona gave notice through the Philadelphia papers last week that he de- clined to further stand as a candidate for recorder of deeds, and therefore that leaves Mr. Ridley without serious opposition. It lcoks to us now that the appointment of Mr. Ridley is a certainty. The party lead- ers are beginning to feel that the colored vote of. Pennsylvania must be recognized. “The State League will be a unit in giv- ing him their support. His appointment by the President as recorder of deeds will give general satisfaction to every colored voier in Pennsylvania. He is the right man for the office, because he is fully qualified in every particular.” ——>. Cost of Running Street Cars. To the Eilitor of The Evening Star: The Electrical Engineer says that the Metropolitan Traction Company of New York has decided to substitute electricizy for the cable on at least forty-three of its ene hundred miles of tracks, composed of several different lines. Speaking for the company, Mr. J. D. Crimmins says that the cost per mile for running a street car, everything included except the fixed-charges on the investment, fs, with electricity (un- derground), 9 to 9% cents; with compressed air, 12 to 14 cents, and with cable, about 18 cents. Of course these figures may vary somewhat in different localities, depenaing on local causes, but if they are at all reliable it would seem that those comna- nies contemplating a change of motive pow- er would be the gainers by adopting elec- tricity; for though it would require a great- er investmen: in the first instance than compressed air, the saving in the course of years would far more than compensate for the difference, especially on lines where there is much travel. w.c.
