WASHINGTON HEIGHTS.
Rapid Building observation-disclosures For
an Attractive Suburb.

THIS beautiful suburb is destined to
become most attractive residence
quarter in the spring and summer OF
next year. Already many of the lot
holders in ''The Heights" are making
arrangements to build houses, and a
store is in prospect, which will be used
as postofIice also.
Located as this property IS on tho
dummy line, just far enough away from
the city to insure perfect immu-
nifty from any unhealthful influ-
ences which may arise from crowded
streets, the public will not be long
in perceiving that here has been pro-
vided an outlet for those of our cit
liens who wish the advantages of
suburban home on line of rapid
transit, where lots can be purchased at
prices from fifty to seventy.five per
cent less than in the city, and at the
same time affording advantages not at
tainable in the city, viz: the privilege
of keeping COW, with abundant pas.
ture near, free OF access, raising poultry
and making a garden, which items are
source OF income not uncomfortable.
The management of this suburban
village site are very active and earnest
in their desire and efforts to afford
those having invested and who may in
'SSo AZ ohOSA pAOPOho1 o"PAO AoOAitoACo
for the encouragement of home seekers,
and through these efforts are rendering
the property more and more valuable as
source Of money-making to those who
do not intend to build, but prefer to
buy and sell and reap the reward of sa.
gacious investments.
1t has been the history of all subur-
ban villages in The vicinity OF cities
that they always catch the overflow
from the cities, and as the tendency OF
population is to shift from point to
point, the latest new attraction always
interests, and hence we see these out
lying districts populated rapidly once
a nucleus is formed.
With the locating of store and post
Office at Washingt ton Heights is had
the beginning, and the addition of
other houses will soon follow; then a
church and school house, and the vii
lage begins to assume shape. There is
already sufficient number of people in
the immediate neighborhood, farmers,
gardeners and dairymen, to justify a
postofiice.
So, viewing all the facts and pros
poets, it is safe to predict a bright flu
ture for Washington Heights, and the |
lot owners in the Washington Club Land |
Company are to be congratulated upon
their good investments and the safe and |
management of the presi- |
dent, Mr.. S. A. Wetzler.

Is Stanley a Pirate !?

Mr.. +. j.. Godkin, in the February num-
ber of The Forum, undertakes to prove that
the expedition to relieve EWin was clearly
a piratical undertaking, since ii had the
sanction of no government and its leader
was responsible to no power. In
the course of the argument Mr.. Godkin
shows that the sympathy for Emn which
caused the expedition to be undertaken was
a sentiment born of the Gordon myth, and
he points out the curious fact that the
people of Africa, owing to the slave trade,
have always been regarded as fit spoil for
pirates even by civilized nations who hold
no such notions even about any other
savages. Mr.. GodkiD expresses the highest
admiration for Stanleys courage and en-
durance, and approves of his conduct of the
expedition. 1t is its legal character only
that he criticises. Other articles that will
appear in the February Forum are: "The
Vanishing Surplus" by Prof. Rodney
Welch; 1.-The Government and the Indians"
by Hiram Price; biographical essay by
Prof. Gildersleeve, OF the Johns Hopkins
University, and half dozen other essays.

The tax gatherer has been with us and if

people did not furnish it cash to do business
with. So that to meet the views of the
Farmers Alliance, the people must tax
themselves to raise the money and then let
to themselves at very little interest. Nice
