Here's a property which, finally secured at a figure ridiculed by the owners when negotiations began, we can and WILL sell at prices which will SIMPLY RIDDLE existing real estate values in this vicinity—cheaper than any such desirable tract of land can probably ever be sold about Washington, by us or any one else, in the future. Everybody knows what the future of Washington’s western suburbs must be—with the Memorial Bridge an as i : time. That the public is awakening to this is thoroughly apparent even now, by the lively interest already manifested in Clarendon. That we shall not have by half land enough to go round is evident thus early, and it’s simply a matter of im- mediate action if ownership is to be had in this peerless suburb. No man—no sane man, at least—with any idea of what LIFE’S CHANCES are and may mean—to himself and family—can ignore for one day this climax of all Real Estate Offerings. You don’t have to buy—you owe it to yourself and family to LOOK! That's all.

Tho division of customs and insular affatrs: of the War Department gave out for pub- Feation today the statement that the re- ceipts at the Havana customs house for the first three months of 1100 were $3, 414.70, as against $2,348,888.75 for the same period of 1899. The importance of the state- ment lies in the fact that the comparison shows an increase for the three monih 1090 over the three n.onths of 1899 of & As the quarter men ed includes t month of the February, with only twenty-two working daj re- ceipts were remarke ruary receipt those for March were $1,006,269. ‘The receipts for the quarter named were derived fr lowing sources: Import t threo months of 1899, for the first three months of 78; export duties for the first of 1899, § export the first three months of 1900, 1.17; tonnage tax for the first three of 1899, $70,139.50; for the first three months of 1900, $ 1.60; harbor impr ment tax for the first three months of 1 three months of 1900, $1,518.99; capiiat tax for the first three months of Ls for the first three months of 1900, § storage and cartage charges for the first three months of 1899, none; for the first three months of 1900, $9,013.62; con- sular fees for the first three months of 1899, none; for the first three months of 1900, $318; receipts for overtime work for the first three months of 18, none: for the first three months of 1900, $2,705.77; cattle inspection fees for the first three months of 1299, none; for the first three months of 1900, $7,185.20; receipts from all other cus- tems sources for the first thres months of 1809, $7,455.41; for the first three mouths of 1900, $1,837. 0 NO MONOPOLY OF SEX. Mother Eve's Heritage Passed to the Masculine Gender as Well. In the window of a store on a prominent thoroughfare in this city is displayed a con- trivance for the exhibition of moving pho- tographs. In ftself, it Is insignificant in size and appearance. By looking through the plate glass window into the aperture of the machine a moving picture may be seen. ‘Above the aperture is the following sign: FOR THE VIEW OF THE LADIES ONLY. et he, as she pointed to- ward the group of men surrounding the window. “You see, when mother Eve en- dowed us with the fatal gift of beauty she also intermixed a little of that element of nature which your sex, in the fanciful su- periority of denominated ‘woman's curiosity “But she was magnanimous enough to reserve a modicum for this ‘superior ing,’ which centuries of assiduous cultiv: tion has developed to a degree quite on aj par with us. Oh, you need not squirm. You have your vulnerable points and in goes the arrow—swish! Men are as con- ceiied and as curious as Women—only they are reluctant to own it--are vain, and be- fore this window is overwhelming evidence of it. I have yet to pass it at any hour of the day when there is not a crowd of ing dimensions flattening their against the window pane “And why? Just because they are curi- ous to see what might be or what is repre- sented would be, of interest to us. I have never seen a woman look in that window. And, after all, it is only a sham battle scene. If I were a man wouldn't I be justified In saying, ‘Come, old fellow, that's a horse, or a pony, or a high ball on you.’ ” “And they are, as you say, ‘fooled,’ are they not?” “They crowd and jostle one another in their eager haste to sce—what? The magic word ‘ladies’ is the magnet that makes those in the rear peer over the shoulders of the ones in front, In expectation of hav- ing a free show through a window. pane.” noses THE COUNTRY IS SAFE. The Peach Crop for the Ensuing Sea- son Promises a Large Yield. Whatever may be the destinies of the re- public, the peach crop is safe. “I have just returned from a trip through Delaware and the peach-growing sections of Maryland,” said a produce dealer, “and never within my memory have I seen such unusually favorable prospects for a tre- mendous yield of America’s favorite fruit— the peach. “Both old and young trees are In a state with buds and general ap- indicating a bough-breaking yield. y days if the weather turns warm, the orchards will be in full bloom, and it is hard to find a finer sight than orchard after orchard of the beautiful pink blossom, ap- pearing like huge banks of exquisitely tinted snow. The growers are In a jubilant mood, as last year was a barren one. “The great American people are hungry for the peach. They didn’t suck and eraunch Sts delicious juicy fiber last year and this s to make up for lost time. So does the housewife with her canning. There a dlfferenc amoug the ¢ as to prices, some be- lieving, for reasons I have stated, the prices will be good; others that there will be such an abundant yield that the consequent glut of the market will knock the profit sky high. I think prices will be fair. “The big canneries did not put up any goods to speak of Jast year, and they will go Into canning heavily. There is no peach cannery in Washington, but there ought to be. Baltimore is one of the great peach canning centers of the country, and during the season thousands of car loads of peaches are poured Into these establish- ments. The operatives are mainly women and girls. “The first peaches to reach the Washing- ton market como from Georgia, and are called the Hall early. They rot if you look at them a second time, but they are the first and bring corresponding prices. The latest and the best peach is that which comes from the orchards of the Blue Ridge mountains, and they appear when all the others are out of the market. They are large, firm and juicy, of pecullar and fine flavor. Some of the best of the orchards are in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry, “California peaches sell well, and were about the only ones on the market last year, but their flavor does not compare with the eastern peach. They are more fibrous and have a flavor of their own, “Some of our best peaches are grown down Marlboro’ way, and we rely upon the shipments from that vicinty as one of the sources of supply of the local market. Washingtonians are fond of peaches.” SS Hotel Arrivals. Raleigh—E. J. Richards, Albany, N. Y.; E, R. Fellows, Springticld, Ohio. Willard—S. S. Blanchard, Boston; W. H. Welsh, Chas. R.
