DEMANDS OF A GROWING POPULATION The Parks Proposed to Adorn the Greater Washington. SOME IMPROVEMENTS Reference has been made to the influ- ence of street railroads in the develop- ment of the suburbs of this city, and in the opinion of a great many people the tendency which is more marked each year to erect homes in the country in the vi- cinity of Washington is due largely to the convenience as well as the quick- ness of access afforded by the various lines of street railways. Now that the bicycle is so generally used by all classes of people, and especially, by those who live sore distance away from the center of business, a good deal of attention is be- stowed by lovers of the wheel on the con- dition of the suburban roads. As is well known, people who have their carriages cr ride, horseback take great pleasure in driving out over the country or suburban roads which pass through such picturesque scenery. It is, therefore, not surprising that, as stated, the Com- missioners intend to ask Congress for a more liberal allowance than usual for the care ard maintenance of these roads. Some sections of the roads are macadamized, and gravel has been placed over the sur- face of others, while some effort has been made to provide for the proper drainage of the roadbeds. Not Up to the Standard. As a rule, however, it is s#id that the suburban drives are not in. the condition which is expected of roads in the vicinity of the city of the population of Washing- ton. It is not the purpose, it is said, of the Commissioners to ask Congress for additional money for roads in the suburbs se of pushing forward the im- ts of city streets. “It is said the Commissioners intend to ask-for as much money to carry on the improvements in the city stre as has been customary to allow each r, but that it will be pos- . in addition to doing this, to make a more liberal provision for the suburban A new park for the c y for the re: ty known as Washington, or rather more s in that section jeorgetown or West proposed in the report of the commit on and reserva- an abst: of which given in nnual report of the president of the beard of trade at the recent meeting of body. This committee, of which Mr. y F. Blount is chairman, desires, it is stated, the appropriation of a sum of Money requisite for securing the ground immediately west of and adjoining Oak Hill _ cemetery and bounded on the west by Lovers’ lane, and containing some thirteen acres. - Some Proposed Parks. The original plan of the city made quite a liberal provision for parks, large and small, and open places throughout the city, which are now looked upon as one of the features which make Washington the handsomest city in the world. In recent years the ground within the bounds of the Zoological Park and Rock Creek Park has been acquired, the latter however, not having as yet been prepared for the use of the public. In the préposed plan of street extensions, which aims to apply the plan ®f the city to the entire territory of the District lying outside of the old municipal bounds, the same feature which characterizes the city plan, providing parks, circles and reservations, is found. Lying close to the northern border of the city is a block of land, between lth and 13th streets northwest and extending from Florida avenue to Clifton street, compris- ing some ten acres, which is indicated in the plan as a park. At what is known as the Champlain avenue air shaft of the abandoned aqueduct tunnel, which is near 18th street extended between Kalorama and Wyoming avenues, there is a small piece of land which was acquired by the govern- ment when it was proposed to build the aqueduct. Provision {s made on the map fer the enlarging of this land to the dimen- sions of an acre and retaining it as a park. At the juncture of 16th street extended and Spring road there is a proposed park com- prising some two or three acres. Then, near Brightwood it is designed to reserve the site of old Fort Stevens, comprising seme two acres, and to transform that into @ park. Eastern Branch Flats. Those who prepared the street extension maps evidently believed that the Anacostia flats should be reclaimed, and in that case there would be a wide strip of land between the present city limits and ‘the proposed channel of the Eastern branch, comprising some 900 acres. It is designed to re: that for a park. Another’ feature of: this plan is what is known as the Fort Drive, a roadway which is designed to circle the sites of the old forts about this eity, and at cach of these localities connected with the war period it is proposed to make a reservation of about two acres each, there being some half a dozen in all. In the region west of Rock creek, accord- ing to the map of street extension, the ground occupying the high ridge west of Ridge road and near Wesley Heights, com- prising some three acres, Is to be re- served as a park, while north of this, and still along the Ridge road, another park is provided, which is also to comprise some three acres. At Fort Reno, rear Tenley- | town, which is now the site of a reservoir, | it is proposed to enlarge the present’ reser- | vation, making some three or four acres at that point. In addition there is, of course, | the same provision made for the circles and reservations, which characterize the application of the street extension plan to other parts of the suburbs. Row of Six Houses. Plans ere being prepared by George S. Cooper, architect, for the erection of six houses en 2Ist street between O and P streets northwest. The houses are to be twenty feet front, with a depth of thirty- | five feet, and will be three stories in height. The fronts are to be constructed of mottled brick and light stone. The roofs will be high pitched and covered with green slate. On the first floor the rooms will be finished in hard wood. The houses will be supplied with cabinet mantels and other attractive features. Washington Heights Houses. Two lots have been purchased by Mr. Arthur Cowsill on the west side of Colum- bia road, just south of Wyoming avenue, Washington Heights. The lots are 22 feet front, with an average depth of 83 feet, and the price paid was $1.75 per square foot. Mr. Cowsill is having plans prepared for two houses which he propos2s to erect on these lots. It is his present intention to build them of stone and to have all the ap- pointments first class, as he looks upon this locality as one that is likely tu be improved in the future, as has been the case in the Past, with residences of a high class. Mr. West's Residence. A residence is to be erected at 1432 Well- ing place, University Park, for Charles H. West. The plans have been prepared by C. L. Harding, architect, and provide tor a house three stories in height, witn a front- age of twenty feet and a depth of sixty- eight feet. The material used in the con- struction of the front will be brown stone and pressed brick. There will be a bay Projection, stone steps and the building will be surmounted by a slate mansard roof. The house will be heated with hot water and supplied with tiled bath rooms. Some Improvements. Dr. A: F. A. King has had plans prepared by Appleton P. Clark, jr., architect, for re- modeling his house, 726 13th street north- west. A store will occupy the ground floor, and on the next floor will be an office. The building will be equipped with new plumb- ing and heating apparatus. The power house to be erected by the United States Electric Light Company at the southeast corner of 14th and B streets, is, according to the plans prepared by K. M. Sunderland, architect, to be one-story structure, 181 by 181 feet. There will be a tower sixty-two feet high. Improvements are to be made in the building occupied by the Yale steam laun- dry, 43 G street northwest. A mezzanine story is to be built, and in the rear there will be a two-story addition, 24 by 35 feet. Hight brick houses, from 3012 to 3028 14th street extended, are to be erected by C. M. King. They are to be three stories in height, with a frontage of 17% feet and a depth of 34 feet. The fronts will be built ed brick and there will be square dows. Four two-story houses with pressed brick fronts are to be built by George P. Newton on Massachusetts avenue between Ist and 2d streets northeast. tory addition is to b2 built by y. Nairn to the house on Vermont avenue northwest. F. T. Eckhoff will erect a house at 36 G street southwest. It will be two stories in height, with a front of 16 feet and a depth of 27 feet, and the material used in the front will be pressed brick. A two-story brick warehouse is to be eregted in the rear of 635 H street north- west for D.,L. McCarthy. Plans have been prepared by Appleton P. Clark, jr., archi- tect. Five dwellings are to be er Patterson street by John W. ‘hey Gregg. y will be two stories in heisht, with fronts of pressed brick trimmed with light and brown stone. $O400008 | * \ 2 DDATIOO MIO PIBSEEH GO FECOCGOCOSOEGIIO SY > $ Spoons. - Our Stock Was Never So Large. ; Our Prices Were Never So Low. : Consider what this Discount means.

BEST SHOW If YEARS Society’s Verdict on New York's Great Horse Exhibition. CROKER'S UNIQUE COAT OF ARMS Tammany to Celebrate Its. Return to Power New Year Day. VAN WYCK MAY. Ee SPEAK Special Correspartlence of The Evening Star, NEW YORK, November 19, 1897. For six days society has been concerned in its opening of the season of '97-’98 with its function—the horse show, Qpening wiih a blaze cf glory last Monday, the light has not waned throughout the week, and, as in other years, with the: close tomorrow night it will be pronounced “the most successful effcrt yet made” The members of the show say no such exhiition has been given in the history of - :s8ociation. That is the horse side of it, The mem- bers, wives and the box holders, who ex- hibited at least twelve new* gowns each during tne function, wilk say the same thing; but theirs is the human side. They are thinking ef the blending, of beautiful colors, flashing jewels, intricate toilets and the little social reunions, the little im- promptu receptions in the various boxes, which mark the renewing of old friend- ships and the making of new ones. And then the dinners and suppers throughout the week. The horses were all right in their way and very pretty to look at, but the stellar attractions were the boxes and the strolling masses of humanity outside the arena. Many Out-of-Town Visitors. This year's horse show was remarkable for the number of out-of-town visitors. The sts show well-known people from Phila- delphia, Bosten, Chicago, Baltimore, Wash- ington, Providence, Buffalo, Pittsburg and San Francisco. As so few of New York mansions were in’ running Order. for the winter, society was more in the public eye than heretofore. Luncheons, ‘dinners and suppers at the Waldorf-Astoria and Del- monico’s were considered “the thing,” al- though the Holland House, Gilsey, Wind- gor, Albemarle, Buckingham and the hotels further up-town were taxed. The hotels all made preparetions for the event, but the Waldorf-Astoria being the’ néwest of the new—in fact, not entirely furnished—drew a jarge crowd, as many as 1,000-or 1,560 be- ing booked ahead. Tables were also booked fer the entire week, and the throng in the garden and hotel corridors and dining rooms this year, if footed up, would represent many, millicns of dollars. Th 1892 or 18:3, the béginning of the show, the auction box sales were somewhere in the neighborhood of $38,000, and that was flood tide, for the reason that the boxholders were present and the stimulus of personal @mulation car- ried them away. Now ‘thez Wid ‘through agents, and for three yeet’ the receipts have been abcut on a level-$22,000 or $23,- 000. é Last year 256 exhibitors made a littie more than 1,300 entries. ‘This year some 280 exhibitors named over 1,500 horses. As the prices of the boxes have been de- creased the popularity of the show as a social function has increased with the entry list of the equines. Richard Crcker’s box was a Mecca for the strollers of the board walk about the arera. He was kept busy! when in his boy reaching down to gragp the hand of scme friend or saluting an acquaintance with a nod of the head. Croker’s coat-of- arms Shows three ravens on a shield, with the motto, “God feeds them.” A brilliant chappie, knowing Croker's leaning toward heraidry, remarked that the “boss” possi- bly felt like a god, and his horse show admirers appeared very hungry, Asa Bird Gardiner, district attorney-elect, who won fame by consigning reform.to the infernal regions, was frequently in Croker’s box. He, too, has a coat-of-arms, and he wears it on his cuff buttons and every other available place. It is a shield, upon which there are two birds and & Maltese cross, whatever that means. Old Timer's Lament. Speaking of Delmonico’s in connection with the horse show, the old gray-haired habitue doesn’t like the removal uptown. To use his expression, “It isn’t ‘Del's’ and it can’t be ‘Del’s’ any more than soda water can be champagne. Society may take it up, it may be sumpiuusly furnish- ed and the old cook may be in the kitchen, but it won't be ‘Del's’. And, no, the old cook will never do as well as in the old place in Madison Square. Think of ‘Del's’ without a park. Think of ‘Del's’ without the Farragut statue Long after the old place is closed I shall walk around the square recalling the dinners I have eaten in those windows facing on 5th avenue. The win- dows of old ‘Del's’ were just at the proper height from the street. Between them and the walk were the big urns and a bit of green. You saw life in the movement of the people and of carriages, and beyond was the green park with the St. Gauden’s statue of Farragut, making of the admiral the type of a gentleman that you would like to sit opposite at table. ‘The time will come when ‘Del's’ will be fronting on a park again—Ceniral Park. Eventually the objection of being too far down will be raised against the Waldorf and the new ‘Del's’ just as it was against the old ‘Del's’. I can remember when the old ‘Del's’ was ¥es, in twenty years, perhaps less, you will not be swell unless you eat in a dtning room that over- looks Central Park.” : There will be another “function” here on the opening of the new year. It will hardly be a “social function,” like the horse show, but it will attract more attention. The re- turn of “Boss” Croker is‘a reminder that Tammany will turn itself lsose on the town on New Year. It has beewta time-honored custom of the wigwam tajhold & New Year reception, at which gathéred the faithful and their friends to listen ‘to bursts of elo- quence and pass around thé jfiewing bowl. In the days of Tammany; when they ap- peared to have a life tenwre in municipal affairs, these reunions were thitigs of beau- ty and joys forever. Qf tate years there have been gatherings of men to discuss the future, to build air castles an@ exchange reminiscences. ~ Tammany Will Celebrate. Now fhidt victory once mofe restsin the tiger's lair, the rank and fiJere filled with hurrahs for the coming . ‘The details of the ceremonies which witt -formaly usher in the Greater New Yorkjiand at the same time install the tiger‘in the city hall, |" have not been ¢orafleted,* but it is known that Croker wants his’ Chicago’ friends to come on and enjoy Tammany’s hospitality. The, Copk county democracy has already voted to make another visit’to New York. They feel that they had something to do with the evecess of the tiger, and that it behooves them to join in the New Year day celebration. Mr, your Van Wyck is a to that old family unbranded, for ff anything was ever prop- erly labelled the property of any one per- son, Van Wyck has been so designated as the property of Richard Croker.” Croker may not permit Van Wyck to-speak, but undoubtedly the custom of handshaking will be indulged in, as usual. The real thing in the way of a celebration .| will be given by Sheriff-elect Dunn and County Clerk-elect Sohmer. The sheriff's office will be located, after January 1, in the Stewart building. Here the genial sheriff will hold open house. Everybody will be invited. There will be plenty to eat, more to drink and speeches and music. Mr. Schmer will receive his friends in the county court house. Register-elect Fromme will succeed Register Sohmer on the Ist of January. Mr. Fromme will entertain his friends in the hall of records. It has been suggested, and the suggestion has met with an enthusiastic response, that in all of the Tammany club houses throughout the city celebrations be held in the evening. Over on the East Side sev- eral Tammany clubs are getting up balls for New Year night. They are embar- rassed by lack of halls. The Tammany or- ganizations in the districts from which the new officials come will keep open house all day. Turkey dinners will be served to all comers. It is likely that the big men in Tammany Hall will sit down to 2 ban- quet either on the ist of January or within a day or two thereafter. The banquet will be made the occasion of a “hot time” for the visitors from Chicago. Prominent state Politicians will be invited, and perhaps a number of democrats of national reputa- tion will be induccd to participate. The idea scems to be to signalize the return to power of Tammany by a wide-open cele- bration which will demonstrate that Tam- many was in earnest when it pledged it- self to give the greater city a wide-open administration. Croker Enforces Discipline. Richard Croker has made a declaration which will carry joy to the hearts of the followers of the McLaughlin organiza- tion in the borough of Brooklyn. The attention” of Mr. Croker having been celled to the fact that ex- Assistant District Attorney James W. Ridgway was organizing Tammany clubs in Brooklyn, the evident intention being to build up ‘an organization in close com- munion with Tammany, the boss of the wigwam said: “The organization of these clubs is with- out the sanction of Tammany. If I have anything to say in the matter, the patron- age which belongs to Brooklyn will go to the regular organization. It has always been able to look after its own affairs. It ccrtainly did splendidly in the late cam- paign. So far as I can influence matters, the district leaders in Brooklyn will be the men who will be consulted in distribut- ing the patronage due Brooklyn. The or- ganization over there will certainly get all it is entitled to. It will get all the offices in that borough, at all events.” Tammany is going to have trouble in prevailing upon the kind of lawyer needed for the office to take the position of cor- poration counsel. Either Belos McCurdy or David: McClure would fill the bill, but their. friends say that to accept the place would entail the sacrifice of a practice worth yearly many times the amount of the corporation counsel's salary. Ex-Dis- trict Attorney De Lancey Nicoll has been mentioned a3 possible chcice. Mr. Nicoll says othing on earth, under the earth or over the earth could induce me to take the place.” They say over in Brooklyn that if-Tammany cannot get a man for the post of corporation counsel the McLaugh- lin organization can furnish a candidate in the person of William C. De Witt. He has been corporation counsel of Brooklyn and was a member of the charter commis- sion. He is familiar with the charter, but his appgintment is out of the question. The patronage which will be at the disposal of the corporation counsel after January 1 will be something enormous, and it would never do to let it slip out of Tammany’s hands. Among his other duties the corporation counsel will be a member of the board of estimate, the city’s conservator. This board 1s intended to be a bulwark against “grabs.” Its action on franchises and grants will be of particular importance. Before any grant of a franchise or right to use any street or highway in the city can be made by the municipal assembly, it must, after its intro- duction and first reading in that body, be referred to the board of estimate and ap- portionment, which must examine the money value of the proposed grant and the adequacy of the compensation that is offered for it. The municipal assembly may pass it only on the terms approved by the Distribution of School Funds. Another important matter which the board must attend to before July 1, 1898, will be the distribution of the general and special school funds. Any unwise or im- Proper apporticnment of these funds will make trouble for years to come. Practical- ly the board will have to plan the entire system of allotment, and it will be a good thing for the citizens to watch. The board may recommend to the municipal assembly a change in the salary of any officer or other person whose compensation comes from the city treasury, no matter what the amount fixed by the charter may be. No change may be made in the salary of an elected officer or head of department during the term for which he was elected or appointed, but the power is large, even within this ‘limitation. Now, let us look at the composition of this board—Mayor Robert A. Van Wyck, Controller Bird S. Coler, the president of the council, Ran- dolph Guggenheimer, and the corporation counsel and the president of the depart- ment of taxes, whoever they may be. The three known members—a majority of the board, are said to belong to Croker, and the other two, it is believed, will be found very close to his band wagon when their names are announced. ee From a Big Tree. Secretary Bliss has a curious relic from California in his office in the Department of the Interior. It is a portion of a sec- tion of a tree from Sequoia National Park, the giant of the forest from which it was taken being estimated to have been 2,700 years old. The full depth of the bark is shown on tPis piece of the tree, being one foot. The age of the tree is estimated from the numbers of layers in the bark. The tree from which it was taken is known as the Sequoia gigantea. The interesting relic_is displayed on the mantlepiece in the Secretary's office, and is an attractive ‘object to all the visitors who call there. ———— Experimentalism.
