OPENS A LOCAL OFFICE.
Large Building on F Street Lease
by Steamship Company.


by Steamship Company.
The two-story building at No. 1906 F
street. the property of Mr. Caleb Willard,
II being remodeled and will be used when
completed for Office purposes. This build
ing has been leased for a period of five
years by the American and Red Star Line,
the well-known ocean steamship company,
which proposes to occupy the entire build
ing. On the first floor will be the ticket
offices, where tickets can be procured,
state rooms selected and passengers booked
for an European voyage. The upper floors
will be used for the Offices Of the counsel
of the company, Mr.. S. c. Neale.
As this Is the first ocean line of steamers
to open offices here the event is looked upon
as showing the growing importance Of the
city. This company, as well as other ocean
steamship lines, is represented in Wash
ington by agents who have filled orders for
tickets by telegraphing to the main Office,
located in one Of the seaboard cities. 1t is
evident that the business to be done here
has reached such proportions that in the
opinion Of the managers Of this ocean line.
at least, the time has come when q WELL
equipped office should be established to
meet In full all the requirements.
Recently rather elaborate ticket ofiices
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1897-10-28

have been opened by the various railroad
companies in this city. AS is well known,
two of the principal railroads have offices
nearly adjoining on 18th street between G
street and New York avenue, and the
Southern is just now fitting up a building
in the same block. where it is proposed 20
locate its ticket office. and then that block
may be appIopria tely. termed railroad row.
1t is thought by many that this move on
the part of the American line in establish
ing full-fiedged Office here will he fol-
lowed by the other ocean steamship lines,
and that in a short time this city will be-
come quite a center for business of this
character.

OVER MOUNTAINS AND
SWAMPS or ASIA MINOR
HAZARDOUS Journey of Commissioner Hep
worth in Proceeding From Bitis
to Diur6ekir.

DIARBEKIR, Asia Minor, Dec. 26.-
We left Bitlis last Sunday morning and
reached Diarbeldr after six days jour-
ney on horseback. This is the finest
town we have yet visited. It's build
ings are of old Arabian architecture.
We came straight across the country,
and picked our way over mountains
and swamps, struggling through blind
ing snowstorms and fording torrents
in fact, almost swimming them Ex-
cept for our extraordinary luck we
might have been delayed for weeks.
We spent the nights In Kurdish, Ar
menian and Turcoman huts. The seem
cry is magnificent. The people are poor
in condition, and will take twenty
years to recover. We travelled by a
route never before taken by Europeans.
and heard reports of brigandage in
the Kurdish country, but met with no
trouble whatever. The region seems
settled down. We start on Sunday on
q ten days journey on horseback to
reach the seacoast.

ried. But the announcement was not
made; that is, it was not made for
mally in so many words, although
there was not one of the guests VINO
did not thoroughly understand the
situation. Still, the announcement was
expected, and that it did not come oc-
casioned surprise and shade of dis
appointment Howard Gould himself
appeared to regret it, although he did
not explain why he had changed his
mind in this particular. No one cared
to ask him, but the absence from the
dinner of his elder brother, George, the
head Of the Gould family, was
thread that ran through every fabric
Of conjecture woven by his guests.
The attitude of George Gould is
recognized as having an important
bearing on the love affairs of Howard
Gould, because of the peculiar will of
the late Jay Gould. The old fnancier,
in apportioning his millions among his
children, stipulated that none of them
should marry without the consent of
the rest of the family on penalty OF
losing half of his income Hence it is
necessary for Howard Gould's brothers
and sisters to welcome Miss Clemmons
into the family If he wishes to continue
to draw the income on the capital Of
ten millions
She and Howard Gould thoroughly
understand each other" said one of
the guests to-day, land, although the
announcement of their engagement was
not made at that time, it will be very
soon, you can take my word"
