Some twenty houses are to be built by the
syndicate represented by Mr.. Thos. G. Hen
sey. which owns the square fronting on
Florida avenue between 1st and I'd streets
northwest, in what is known as LIE Droit
Park. These are to be three-story houses
with all the features that are found in mod
ern dwellings. The north side of the square
will be along the line of Rhode Island ave-
nue. extended, and authority was given at
the last session of Congress to the District
Commissioners to acquire the land needed
for the extension of that avenue.
Mr.. Hensey is also building twenty frame
houses in the subdivision of Petworth.
These houses are to be located on Quincy
street. New Hampshire avenue was opened
up through this land when it was originally
laid out, exactly on the lines and with the
same width as the portion within the limits
OF the city. Now Congress has given the
Commissioners authority to condemn the
land necessary for the continuation of this
avenue from the 7th street road, or Bright
wood avenue, to Whitney avenue, which

Some Suburban Houses.

A pioneer Improvement Is to be made by
Mr.. Herman d. Walbridge, who has had
designs prepared by Glenn Brown, archi-
tect, for six semi-detached houses to be
located on Grant street between 18th and
18th streets northwest. At present there
are, practically no houses in the region
north of Columbia road and as far north
as the subdivision of Ingleside and from
the line of 10th street extended west to
Rock creek.
A good work of grading has been done in
that locality, and the Metropolitan railroad
expected that Congress would at the las,
session authorize the extension of that road
along 17th street extended, but this was
not done.
The new houses will be picturesque and of
varying design. By building them in pairs
side lawns will be available for each house.
The lower portion of the outer walls will be
Of brick, while the upper part will be of
stucco. The strong lines of the substantial
roofs, which will be covered with slate and
with overhanging caves, will give character
to what will no doubt be regarded as a
pleasing type of a semi-suburban house.
Mr.. WaIbridge's Residence.
Mr.. Walbridge is having built for his use
q handsome colonial house at the corner of
18th and Grant streets. It will be built of
brick with the characteristic features of
the style. The interior, which has the
roominess Of large house, will be finished
with hard woods.
A Business Building.
An important improvement has been made
by Mr.. r. v. Killian in the building occu-
pied by his business, the Franklin steam
laundry, 5O4 18th street. Last year, from
plans made by B. Frank Meyers, architect,
Mr.. Killian put in an entire new front and
remodeled the interior. The entrance was
made through the basement, and above
were the four stories, SO that the struc-
ture Ia really five stories In height Now
further improvements are in progress, which
will result in the removal of the back
building and the erection of new one of
the same height as that Of the main build-

North Capitol Street Railroad.

The section along North Capitol street is
to have a modern street railroad and that
fact is no doubt giving additional impetus
to improvements along that thoroughfare,
as well as on 1st street west. The City and
Suburban railroad is now putting down the
underground system on North Capitol street
as far north as T street. which at that
point is some three square north of Florida
avenue. From there the cars will be run
Home grounds, and thence along Michigan
avenue to the Bunker Hill road and to
Brookland.
1t is probable this will be the main line
OF the road from Brookland to the city.

street east as far south as the line of

A FIN L RE IDE N G E

An improvement Of good deal of i'm
portance is to be made in the southeastern
section of the city. A large block of land
has recently been purchased by Henry A.
Evans, from Mr.. Lawrence Sands, in
square SS2 overlooking the grounds Of the
navy yard. The property fronts on NJ
street and extends back both on 9th and
7th streets that it includes the entire
NJ street front. The price paid for the land
was fifty cents per square feet, and the
entire consideration for the $1,000 square
feet was $4,000. 1t is the intention of the
new owner to improve the property by the
erection of thirty-three houses. They will
be two stories in height and the fronts,
which will be of varied design, will be
built of mottled brick and stone. Mr.. Reese
F. Luckie has the contract for the work.
Street Railroad Station.
A pretty and artistic building for street
railroad station has been designed by
Waddy B. Wood. architect, and will be
erected by the Capital Traction Company
al the east end of the bridge over which
the tracks of this company cross Rock
Creek. The building is Spanish in design,
and has an overhanging roof and sides of
stucco. The roof is to be co yered with tile.
For a simple structure intended for the
rather commonplace duty of supplying a
shelter and a waiting place at a street
railroad junction 1t will contribute more
to the adornment Of the locality than is
usually the case with structures of that
character.
About the building will run the tracks
Of the road forming a loop so that the
cars as they come from the south or the
north make the turn for the return
trip. AS soon the work of changing
the underground system on the L street
line is completed and the overhead system
from 18th street and Florida avenue to the
bridge is replaced with the underground.
then it is proposed to run all the cars of
the 18th street line through to the bridge
making the northern terminal of that line
at the Rock Creek bridge instead of at
7th street and Florida avenue. as is
the case. Then the cars the Chevy
Chase line, instead of running through to
1th and L streets, is now DONE will
stop at the east end of the bridge. The
new station will have a waiting room and
also a room for the use of the freight
business of the road.

blot and scandal Of the time

United States senate by the most svs-

practiced. With the possible exception
of the beef served to the American SOL
diers in Cuba, there has been nothing
rottener in the history of this country.
Yet the Butte Miner would have a con-
vention of democrats endorse the crime
and applaud the criminal.

bitterness of the senatorial campaign

~HERE are likely to be four
vacancies in the United States
senate by reason of the IA lure

THERE are likely to be four
vacancies in the United States
senate by reason of the failure
OF legislatures to elect. Utah and
Delaware are already on the list. The
time limit in California has expired,
but the legislators are still keeping at
1t at their own expense-or some other
peoples. Their per diem of eight dol
lars has stopped. The senatorial cam
didates are dining and winning their
supporters in lordly style. That cannot
last much longer, and it Is confidently
expected that the end is very near,
With no election as the result. There
is no constitutional time limit to the
sessions of the Pennsylvania legislature
except that it is biennial, but a resolu-
ton FOR adjournment in the third week
in April has been adopted. Hence there
is more than month in which the bal
loting for senator can be continued.
But Quay is determined to stick to the
end, the antiQuay republicans have
pledged themselves never to vote for
Quay and the democrats have resisted
all invitations from either side to de-
sert their own candidate.
