About the Right of Way.

Said Mr.. Samuel Lloyd TO a HERALD re-
porter, SIT is rule of the law for vehicles
to keep to the right in the city and in the
country, also, where the roads are equal and
level But in the country where the roads
are bad no such rule applies. A light We
hicle ought always to give the right of way
to heavily loaded one and going up hills
especially. For the driver of light vehicle
to require heavily loaded one to pull out in
the mud simply that the former may take
to the right is preposterous, which is done
in all the roads around Washington. This is
matter that needs reform by means of a
police regulation. If people will be so re-
gardles of the rights of others they should be
drilled into proper action by law. 1t tears
horses all to pieces when drawing heavily
loaded wagons to pull out In the mud to per-
NIT light vehicle to pass on the. half of the

More Police for the Parks.

was only last week that man was garroted
and robbed of his watch and money in Judi
ciary Square within hundred yards of Police
Headquarters, and his repeated cries for help

the District authorities and Colonel Ernst,
Commissioner of Public Buildings and
Grounds, instead of squabbling over their
particular Jurisdiction as to the care of trees
in Lafayette Square, might use their time
more usefully on either side in providing ade-
quate protection for people passing through
the parks. suppose it would be impossible
out OF the appropriation for the purpose to
properly police all the parks under the con-
troll OF Colonel Ernst, but at least the princi-
pal parks should be attended to. Judiciary

pie pass through it going to and returning

ALL THE woTKMEN coLoRED
Notable Fact About Building Going
Up on Twelfth Street.

Notable Fact About a Building Going
Up on Twelfth Street.
Two large pressed d-brick front, bay window
houses are in process of erection on Twelfth,
between n and 0 streets northwest There is
rush of building all over the city, but the
popularity in this instance was that all the
bricklayers and carpenters were colored men,
There was not a white man among the twenty
or thirty men at work, and very light-colored
struction. The work was being done rapidly
and skillfully.
The reporter entered into conversation with
one of the carpenters, and he stated In effect
that while the white unions ostracized col ored
lads as apprentices, yet in his trade and in the
bricklayer's trade there were from 200 to 300
skilled colored men in the District. They
band together to get contracts just as the
men of the white unions do, and they COM
mand about the same wages. He said also
that the same system OF protection Is resorted
to as prevails in the white unions, and al
though there is no affiliation between the
white and colored unions, yet the latter are
allowed representation in the Federation of
Labor. The colored Hod Carriers Union,
however, is closely allied with the white
Bricklayers' Union, but they are two distinct
bodies. He said also that it was generally
conceded by the building contractors that the
work done by colored skilled labor was fully
as neatly and well done as by those who had
served an apprenticeship under the white
labor unions.

BuffaIo's New building Exchange.

The builders of Buffalo are soon to have a
fine new exchange building at the corner of
Court and Pearl streets in that city. The edi-
flee will be seven stories high, with basement
four feet above the sidewalk. The basement
will be smoothly dressed sandstone with the
remainder of the walls pressed brick and cut
stone. variety of architectural styles will
give the building pleasing effect. The first
story and basement will be Tuscan, the second
and third Dorc, the fourth and fifth Ionic,
and the sixth and seventh Corinthian. Part
OF the basement will be used for machinery
and the balance be divided into offices. A
bank may be organized by the builders and
located in the exchange. The building will
cost, when completed, $4,000, which, with
the cost Of the lot, s45, 900, viii make an in
yestment of 100000. It is expected that the
work will be completed by August l, 1892.

BOUGHT BY A SYNDICATE.
Autry Park, Near Rockville, to he Sub
divided and Improved.

Autry Park, Near Rockville, to he Sub
divided and Improved.
An important real estate transaction broke
in upon the general dulness of the market
the past week. Mr.. Louis d. Wine, of the
firm OF b. II. Warner & Co., completed the
formation of syndicate which is composed
Of some of the leading citizens of Washington.
This syndicate purchased during the week
tract OF 157 acres of land, situated on the Met
ropolitan Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, one mile this side of Rockville.
The property lies on both sides of the rail-
road, which divides it in the centre, and on
both sides of the turnpike leading from Wash
ington to Rockville. The tract was formerly
known as "Autry Park" and was used for
farming purposes. The first m Getting of
the syndicate was held Wednesday evening
last, and Messrs Louis d. Wine and j.
j. Darlington were elected trustees, to
whom deeds will pass in trust for the parties
in interest. AT the meeting it was also deter
mined to abandon the name Autry Park and
adopt new one, and the members were re-
quested to submit their favorite names and at
the next meeting one of the many names
handed in will be adopted for the new subdi-
vision.
The price paid for this farm was $40, 900,
and it will be divided into eighty shares of
$500 each, $4,000 Of which belongs to the
syndicate, which proposes to use it in devel-
oping and improving their already beautiful
tract Streets and avenues will be cut and
laid out, and among the other improvements
they propose to erect new railroad station

THE REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE
It Is Not Dead. But Only Taking sum
mer siesta.


"No, the Real Estate Exchange proiectis not
dead, T" said Mr.. Jesse l.. Heiskell, who de-
voted good deal of time in the spring to
working up sentiment in favor of the ex-
change among real estate men. ''It is only
taking summer siesta and will be revived
and have no doubt made success as soon as
the dealers get back from their summer vaca-
tions. While nearly all of those who were
spoken to about the project In the spring
were in favor of it, business at that time took
up so much of their time that they could not
attend meetings or give the necessary atten-
ton to the matter to effect an organization
Business goes with rush in the spring. II is
the real estate mans harvest time, and we
can't neglect it. Although was very much
interested in the project to establish an ex-
change, as l still am, I was able to give only
an hour now and then to actual work on it.
AT present It would be useless to try to do
anything In the way Of effecting an organiza-
ton All the necessary meetings would have
to be held at night. A great many Of the real
estate dealers and operators are out of the
city, and those who remain at home can't be
got to attend meetings at night. SO it is just
as we'll to let matters remain in statu quo.
''But when business picks up again in the
fall" Mr.. Heskell continued, ''I have no
doubt we will be able to do something sub
stantial. Business in the fall doesn't 60 with
such rush as in the spring, and believe the
organization of the exchange will have good
effect. 1 think there is no doubt enough
dealers will go into it to make the project
success, especially if few of the older dealers,
VINO are recognized leaders in the real estate
market, will take hold of 1t. We young men
have been doing all we could, and have,
think, worked up general feeling that the
exchange would be good thing. But the
older dealers ought to lend hand now, and
if they do the Real Estate Exchange will be
an actual fact in very short time.''

The Old Feather Bed.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

The day of the feather bed is almost gone.
Some years ago the bed that was in most
general demand was the feather bed. The
well-to-do country people, and those that
weren't so well-to-do, raised their own geese
and plucked their feathers to make the bed.
In those days nobody was anybody to speak OF
unless he or she owned his or her own feather
bed.
Since then the plain hard mattress has come
Into favor, aud there are lots OF people that
can't or won't sleep in feather bed. Never
theless there are lots of people that can't
or won't sleep In any kind of bed but the old
fashioned feather. In these days reallysgood
body can't own one.
