AFTER REAL ESTATE.
Ohio Avenue Property Owners Ar
proached by Several Agents.


During the past ten days owners OF prop
erty on Ohio Avenue, between Thirteen
and-a- half and Fourteenth Streets. have
been approached by prominent real estate
agents with offers TO buy their land. The
fact tat offers were made by several
agents the same day aroused suspicion on
the part Of the owners, who began to see
that there was a deal somewhere and de-
clined TO dispose of their real estate unit
they could learn some of the details.
One OF the property owners said to a
Times reporter this morning that he un-
derstood that a big syndicate had been
organized and had sent around agents TO
the individual property owners on the
square bounded by Thirteen and-a-half
and Fourteenth Streets, Ohio Avenue and
Streets, asking them to name price
for their ground. Just what the syndicate
has in view is not known, but it is believed
that a union depot is included in the
scheme.

CHARLES WILLIAM EDWARDS,

President Delaney stated that when these
circulars were shown to Mr.. Paddock, the
business manager of the paper. and he
was asked if they were authentic, Mr.. Pad
dock eyaded a direct answer. and said
there were matters in the Sun" office
about which he was not consulted.
Mr.. Laffan said today there never was
any intention of dismissing the Suns
employees and that he had never heard of
the man Edwards or of the steamboat En-
deavor which was supposed TO be bringing
rat printers" from Philadelphia to
take the places of the men who had left
the Sun" office.
The Sun people say the action of the
Typographical Union is without justifica-
tion; that the management has always
paid the union rates, and Will continue
TO do so, but the Sun proposes to ex-
ercise the right of conducting the paper
as il sees fit And when the Typographi-
cal Union served notice on the sun" that
the men who operate the machines that
cast type must be discharged and compos-
itors put in their places. the Sun re-
fused to comply, then the printers and
stereotypers walked out. The union deny
that this is the cause of the strike.
The strikers remain in the neighbor-
hood of the Sun building. They are
orderly and quiet. The union. which fas
endorsed the strike. yesterday, at its
meeting, when the newly-elected officers
were installed, resolved to place at the
disposal of the strikers So. 600, with which
20 carry on the strike.

New Tribe of Eskimos.

There Is some reason to think that
small tribe of Essimos will be found on
the west coast of Ellesmere Land, which
has never been in contact with civilized
men. DR.. Boas, who spent a year among
the Eskimos OF Cumberland Gulf, in Baf-
fin Land, met an old woman from a tribe
near Lancaster Sound who told him that
she had once accompanied party of her
people on trip northward across Lancas-
ter Sound, overland across North Devon
then across Jones Sound and along tie
coast of Umingman Nuna, or Muskox
Land. From the map she drew, Dr. Boas
inferred that this Muskox Land could be
no other than Ellesmere Land. AS the Es-
kimo maps which he had occasion to test
We're found TO be surprisingly accurate he
is inclined to regard the Old wonans out
line of Ellesmere Land as correct. A.
cording to this, the south shore to the ives
OF Inglefield and furthest curves south
west to North Kent which is not an ISL
and, but the end of long and marrow PEN
insula. Through the narrow street te-
tween this and North Devon the tide rush
IS with great force, so that it remains open
all winter. In this open water seal and
walrus abound. North OF the pen.nsula
the coast trends northeastward. with a
deep bay and many outlying islands. This
west coast is low, with abundant vegeta-
ton and many reindeer and musk oxen.
but the small tribe of Eskimos of the pen
insula never visits these rich grounds, be-
cause of the great multitude OF bears a,ong
the coast.
similar account was given to r. w
Bryan, astronomer to the Polaris eXpedi-
! tion, by the Eskimos near Polaris Har-
Dor, Greenland tPeary's tribe), some of
whom stated that they had rowed all
1 11nc
noted that Lieutenant Peary, who. became
personally acquainted with every member
of that tribe, states that he never heard
of such a report. He did hear another
story. however. hardly less interesting.
About thirty years ago ten EskimoS came
across Smith Sound from ElleSmere Land
who had travelled northward along its east
coast. Whence they came originally could
not be ascertained. They were larger and
stronger than the men of the Greenland
tribe, building their houses out of stones
which the Greenland men could not lift.
| Their language was hard to, understand
containing a number of words not used
by the Greenland Eskimos The names
of the original ten immigrants were re-
| corded by Lieutenant Peary. Only -four
of them survived in 1897, and these were
very old" That is to say, above fifty

These would be the first live specimens Of

The Eskimo remains reported by the
British expedition will present interesting
objects of study. 1t is thought that Elles-
mere Land at some former period was one
of the main haunts of that interesting
race, and a focus from which they spread
northward, rounding the north cape of
Greenland and coming down on its east
side to their present abodes on that side
This conclusion is drawn from the fact
that the East Greenland Eskimo do not
seem to have borrowed any of their ar
tistic devices from their kin Oh the west
coast, but that the arts of both appear
to be distinct developments from a COM
mon source.

frequent visits to Hagenback's. and en-

Chiquita is no freak. but a dainty,

charming. refined manners. She is 20
years Of age. and only 26 inches In
heiert. Her weight is l7ia pounds.
Visitors to the exposition are oe-
lighted with her, and her prettily ar
ranged reception parlors are crowded
daily with the ladies and children OF
the best families from all parts of the
Union. AT no other exposition was so
small and dainty. yet so beautiful, per-
feet, finely developed. the smallest,
most charming little creature in the

see her upon visiting the Philadelphia
exposition.
