With the building OF the Electric Road to
Arlington, branch will run through Fostoria
and on to Falls Church. From this 1t will be
seen that Fostoria is about the incest and best
place within five miles OF Washington and
having convenient stores, post Office, railroad
station, churches, schools, high altitude,
good air, pure water, and but a short drive to
the city. 1t is good, temperate neighborhood
that is known far and wide for its integrity,
intelligence, and general good citizenship.
What more can man wanting suburban
home ask for Besides this, Fostoria is within
the old District of Columbia and will one OF
these days be so again. That part of old vir-
ginia lying close to Washington is as good
property as can be found anywhere, and you
will see growth there within the near future
that will wake up some of the old croskers."

SEVERAL HUNDRED PER GENT.
Remarkable Increase in the Value of
Washington Heights PropertY.

Remarkable Increase in the Value of
Washington Heights Property.
1t is reported on good authority that j. B.
Weimer has sold to Lawrence Sands for Mrs.
Gen. Myers AZ, 600 square feet of property in
Washington Heights for S21 1866, or at rate
of about 80 cents square foot. The property,
it is said, is located about $50 yards this side
of the Woodley Lane bridge over Rock Creek.
Mrs. Myers bought this same piece of land in
1888 or 1886 for 81 cents square foot or about
$4,000. The advance in value is remarkable
and is due no doubt to the many handsome
residences in that subdivision and the extern
sion of the avenues which run through it,
These heights are very conveniently located
and the increase in value is not unexpected. It
is believed that another large tract which is
not now on the market but is part of Wash
ington Heights will be subdivided within a
short time into building sites. This is what
is known as the Phelps property. 1t is
bounded by Florida and Connecticut avenues,
and is high and healthy ground

Glover's on a site which he has selected at the
intersection of Galveston street and the Ten

Hills of the Naval Observatory will build
residence which will equal in attractiveness
the homes already mentioned. 1t is also said
that Mr.. William Voight, foreseeing the fu-
ture of this locality, will erect hotel where
the Tennallytown Road meets the District line.
A drive over this picturesque country will con-
vince one of its advantages.

THE REAL ESTATE MARKET.

1t Was Made Inactive by the Extreme
Heat Last Week.
The extreme heat of the early days of last
week interfered seriously with real estate
transactions. Intending purchasers did not
feel inclined to knock about looking at prop
erty in the burning rays of the sun, and the
usual enterprise of the dealers wilted in the
fervid atmosphere. Consequently the sales
of the week were not large, and they com
prised none of much Importance or magni-
tude. Rumors of several big deals were ahoat,
but none of them wasin such shape that those
interested cared to give out information.
Building operations were not interfered
with by the heat, but the number of permits
for new buildings issued was not large,
None of the permits called for large edifces
although there were several for rows of small
houses. The total number of permits issued
was only twenty-three, covering the erection
of forty-two different buildings.

BRICK PAVEMENTS.
Cities Where Their Use Has Been At
tended with Success.
CARPENTRY and Building


Brick pavements are coming into favor for
street use in many parts of the country.
Experiments are being tried in various direc-
tions, and those cities which have had the
brick pavements down for a number of years
seem to be the most enthusiastic concerning
this form OF pavement. The bricks employed
are Of special pattern, although of about the
same dimensions as the usual building bricks
They are laid upon a suitable foundation,
edgewise. The upper corners are rounded, so
as to overcome the abrasion to which sharp
corners would be subjected. They are placed
reasonably close together and then the joints
are paved with asphaltum or coal tar. Longi-
tudinal grooves on the sizes of the brick re-
ceive enough of the asphaltum to form key
or lock to hold or bond the brick together.
The brick are hard burned and vitrified. The
resulting pavement is something like that
which comes from granite or Belgian blocks
and is free from the objections with which
many pavements are charged in that horses
do rot slip. 1t would seem to be happy
compromise between the smooth asphalt pave
ment, which, however pleasant to drive over
so far as the rider is concerned, is extremely
dangerous to horses, and the granite pave
ment, which, however satisfactory for heavy
trucks, is still little rough for other vehicles
very large quantity of this pavement has
been laid the last few years in Columbus,
Ohio, where we hear it well spoken OF. 1t has
also been used in St. Paul and Minneapolis,
Mimi, and in Indianapolis, Ind. We hear of
experimental work of this kind in various
other directions.

FINE RESIDENCES
That Will Add New Attractions to the
Dupont Circle Region.


Dupont Circle Region.
The vicinity of New Hampshire avenue and
Q street within the next year will probably
contain the handsomest and most imposing resi-
dences in the city. The value of property in that
neighborhood has had a rapid increase during
the past few years and lots there bring very
high prices. They are not above the true
value, however, for the buildings which are
being erected orsare contemplated are not sur
passed in attractiveness by those in any other
section of the city. The latest sale in that
vicinity was made last week by j. B. Winner,
the real estate agent. Through him Mrs Sarah
A. Whittemore has purchased 6,OOO square
feet of land on the southwest corner of New
Hampshire avenue and Q street. This lot is
on the northeast corner of the square upon
which Mr.. Letter will erect his palatial resi-
dence at cost of S125,000. The price paid
by Mrs. Whittemore $4,000 cash, is con-
sidered a bargain. This lot is directly oppo-
site that upon which Mrs. Lieut.. Glover will
build her handsome home at contemplated
cost of SIS, 600. Across the street the mag
nifcent residence of architect I. F. Schneider,
than which there is none more artistic in the
city, is nearing completion. Besides these fine
houses the large apartment house which a
syndicate will build at the intersection of
New Hampshire and Oregon avenue, is but
block away 1t is not known what Mrs.
Whittemore will do with her recent purchase
but the general belief prevails that handsome
residence will be erected there. With all
these grand houses in this vicinity it cannot
but be one of the most magnificent and attrac-
tive parts of the city.
Ground was broken last week for the resi-
dence of Mr.. L. 4. Letter, which will IN
doubtedly be the handsomest house ever built
in Washington. The building will occupy TO-
600 square feet of the lot which is II 900 square
feet in area. This will make the residence
almost twice as large as any now in the city.
The building material will be marble and
white brick. The main front will be on Du-
pont Circle, with large porte cochere on the
New Hampshire-avenues side. The entire cost
is placed AZ Sl25, 900. The architect and
builders are Philadelphia firms.

Pittsburg Capitalists Buy 500 Acros of
Land Near Relay.
A party OF wealthy Pittsburg and Virginis
gentlemen met in this city last week and or
ganized the Southern Land Company. A
charter was obtained from the State OF Vir-
ginia in which the following officers were
named: President, George B. McLane, of
Pittsburg; vice president d. NJ. Passmore, of
Philadelphia; secretary, John Jackson, of
Pittsburg, and treasurer, d. c. Cawley, of the
same city. The capital stock is S2O0,o00.
The company Immediately purchased 500
acres of ground from Minneapolis syndicate
at Dorsey, station on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad about five miles from Relay
The property was formerly known as Lenno1
Park. 1t is the intention of the company to
improve the property at once and make it
suburban resort for both Baltimore and Wash
inton. A hotel will be constructed at once
and the entire land laid out in building sites.
Streets will be made and new town started.

EVERY partisan journal in the con-
spiracy TO reverse the policy of protec
tion to american labor and industries
is just now vigorously Haunting the a6-
valorem percentages Of +he tariff on
foreign products and assuring voters
that by this much is the cost of all SINH
lar products increased over what would
obtain under free trade. The value
OF such figures in promp ing the object
of the Colder Club is proportioned -
the ignorance Of readers, for no man
possessed of energy TO read market re-
ports and sense TO comprehend them
can be made TO believe that any single
item of the lis enumerated would be-
come permanently cheaper in absence
of that domestic competition made posi-
ble 10y protective tariff

Secretary CT the treasury under the

figures is prepared and given conspicu-
GUS place in the free trade syndicate
papers under heading of taxes the

that prices in this country ar enhanced
above British prices for SIM '.r products
'by precisely the sum paia FOR duties"
"a theory which, together with its once
prominent champion, has seen its days
in American politics.
But the voter who may be disposed to
accept as truth the free trade contention
that tariff is added TO the price to con-
sumers of ali articles find a still
heavier draft upon his credulity when
he glancers over the list of articles sub
mitted. For instance, he wonders if
calico he now buys for five cents a yard
and on which the tariff is three and a
half cents, would be sold for enc and
half cents under free trade. He looks
toward Great Britain, where the nearest
approach to free trade is practlced, and
find that American calicoes are sold by
leading British merchants, and that as
a matter of fact the retail price Of cali
co is about the same in England as in
this country. He also finds that there
is no such difference in the price of
other fabrics, whether of cotton, wool or
silk, as free trade figures and assertions
imply, and is forced to see the attempt
at deception when told that window
glass, crockery ware and other articles
now sold cheaper than ever before are
yet double the prices that would rule
under free trade. No foreign price lists
can be found to warrant such a claim.
