BARTON HEIGHTS.
Remarkable Progress Being Made In This
Pretty Suburb.

Pietty suburb.
For up-to-date push, energy. and pro-
gressiveness, Barton Heights is years
ahead Of any other suburban portion of
this rapidlygrowing city. 1t is grow
ing at marvellous rate. but IL has none
OF the usual characteristics Of a mush-
room growth. On the other hand. the
town shows the marked evidences of
well-directed effort. and the result is a
residential addition 10 the city that com
bines more attractions for home-seekers
tnan any other portion OF Richmond
The buildings aren OF cheap, and neither
are they common. but nearly every resi-
dence Is owned by its occupant. and the
most varied and handsome architecture
has been employed In their construction.
Thirty r~w houses are now under con-
struct.on or contracted for. and extensive
improvements are seing projected in the
way of streets and other convenienys.
Barton Heights is a community within
itself and the amount Of interest taken
in the place by its residents and the
public spirit manifested by its inhabitants
promises much greater future for that
locality. The conditions surrounding the
upbuilding of Barton Heights. have been
jealousy guarded from the first and only
select class OF people can be found
among It's inhabitants.
The physical as well as the moral con-
ditions, have also been wisely controlled,
and the place is now laid out ON gem

closely adhered 10. and the benehcent
effect is seen In wide. well-sraded streets,
and ample front yards. that give q look

SOUND MoNEY ~ THE SOUTH.
Judge Patterson Predicts That a Resolu
Ton In Favor Of u VIII Come.

BALTIMORE, April B.-Seyeral hun
dred rspresenuye business men met in
the rooms Of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association to-day TO listen to
arguments in favor OF sound money
Congressman Josiah Patterson, OF Ten
nessee addressed the gathering. and
Urged that Baltimore be ably represented
at the SCund-MOney Convention, To be
held in Memphis on May 2Jd. In the
course of his speech Judge Patterson
said. THE people of the South are most
conservative. They believe in 10 TO i
ratio simply because their fathers did so.
What We need Is the prOpag4 nda of sound
ideas. and ! believe that they Will meet
with the right response from the southern
people The South and the West united
have eighteen majority In the Senate Of
the United States. The latter Is 50 inter-
e. tod I'm silver that IL would be of no avail
TO work there. but in the former good
results may be obtained. Messrs. Jones
and Stewart, Of Nevada, State which
has not as large a population as any
congressional district, are the financial
leaders at Washing ton. There Is no .ope
for sound financial legislation as long as
these conditions exist. The far western
States have direct interest in the silver
mines, and when the situation is placed
before the South by men in whom its peO-
pie have confidence there Will be a revO-
luton OF sentiment.
This Is the biggest question that has
arisen within a quarter Of century. and
the business community must be active
