GO W.T. ANY millions of dollars

tate Dealers" says one OF the most sue
cessful men in that line. he addsi
'sBut many years win pass before tor
tunes are again made here In the same
manner"
This latter statement seemed singu-
lar, because the nation Is growing In
wealth, rich men are coming to Wash
ington from all sections, building
houses and 1inging their daughters in
to the maelstrom of official society, the
national government is putting forth
approximately $2,ooO,Oo0 monthly in
salaries, and all surface indications
point to continued growth of this city.
These facts were suggested to the real
estate man, and he said:
"There is no doubt that this capital
city will continue to grow, but there
will be no more fortunes made in real
estate deals. The ground in the fash
sonable northwest section now COM
mands about five dollars per square
foot. 1t will command no more than
that ten or twenty years from now,
The city win continue to grow, too;
but the price of the ground viii not In

That also seemed singular, but The
real estate man is one who 10 vel

for his calm judgment and wise fore
sight. and 50, instead of ignoring hi
statements, further information wal
asked. and he said:
similar statements might be mad

witnesses IesOIy StronSty Against
the Lieutenant.
If Chatham county has to pay the ex-
penses of all the witnesses who are
brought here to testify In the trial of
Lieut.. Curry for killing the artllleryman.
Leo Reed, the cost of the trial will be con-
siderable.
Coroner Goette said yesterday that he
has a list of fourteen witnesses, one of
whom is in Manila, two in Cuba and one
at Port Royal. The coroner has taken the
testimony of several of the wit
nesses here for use by the
state. The testimony so far taken
is very much against Lieut.. Curry, the
witnesses testifying that he was in a high
ly hilarious condition on the night of the
killing, and had created considerable ex-
element in both the Pink Light and the
Red Light saloons before the affair with
Reed began in the former saloon. This
evidence is in direct contradiction to
that of the members of Lieut.. Curry's reg
iments whose affidavits were submitted
TO the court at the time the application for
bail was made.
No inquest was held at the time of the
killing. as ii was supposed that both men
being in the service of the government the
trial would be entirely a military affair.
The witnesses for the state are soldiers,
sailors and other persons of transient
character, for the most part, all of whom
NAV not decide to remain in the city until
the time of trial and hence the necessity
for getting their evidence.

Rev. DR.. Bachman had a large congre-
CATION at the Lawton Memorial dast night
He read a short scripture lesson from
Luke, fifteenth chapter. Before beginning
his discourse, he said he believed the
father in the story of the prodigal son
illustrated God the Father; the shepherd
In the story of the last sheep Illustrated
God the Son, and by inference the woman
in the story of the lost piece of silver Illus
trated God the Holy Ghost. The JOY illus
trated was not the angels Joy, but the joy
of God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
in the presence of the angels.
After the singing of that soul-stirrins
hymn, Jesus Saves" DR.. Bachman took
for his text Matthew 4:19: Follow me and
I will make you fishers of men," He
said his subject was Soul Winning" All
man needs to do to win souls, he said
is to follow Christ. Christ was a man Of
prayer The man or woman who would
win souls must be men and women of
prayer He loved souls. One thing that
this poor dark world world needs to-day
is love- If we would win souls we must
follow Christ and learn to love them like
Christ. Christ was definite. He worked
with individuals.
If we would win souls, said DR.. Bach
