SALE FOR DELINQUENT TAXES.
Aggregate Larger This Year Than in
Any Previous Year.

Mr.. f. G. Davis, the collector of taxes
Of the District, has filed with the recorder
of deeds the certificates showing the trans
fers of property made during the recent
sale for delinquent taxes. This sale which
took place last month, was by far the
largest of its kind ever held mere. That of
last year was up to that time the largest
in the history of the District about 700
pieces of real estate being sold for a total
of $26,569. At the sale last month about
1000 pieces of property were sold for taxes
in arrears July l, 1898, the amount received
by the District therefor being slightly over
$50 600
The great majority of PIECES of real es-
tate sold last month was purchased by
third parties-that is, by private individu-
ais, the District buying in but comparative
ly few pieces. Most of. the property pur-
chased by private individuals was bought
by a representative of an outside syndicate
who bought it merely as an investment. On
property purchased by private parties the
law allows interest at the rate of Is per
cent per annum, and If at the end of two
years it Is not redeemed then a deed for
the property Is given by the District TO the
purchaser at the tax sale If the property
Is bought in by the District interest is
charged against the owner at the rate of 10
per cent per annum. 81
Speaking of the matter to Star reporter
today, Collector Davis said that not only
was the recent sale the largest ever known
here, but more taxes in arrears have been
paid this year than ever before. The peo-
pie, he said, seem much more DESTROYS of
promptly paying their taxes now, all of
which means, he stated, increased reve-
nues for the District

ANACOSTIA HAPPENINGS.
Controversy Over "a STANDARDIZATION
of Law Charged-Briefs

A controversy las arisen over the ques-
uon of installing a sewer in jefferson street
between Monroe and Fillmore streets, as is
proposed by the Commissioners half the
cost of the work to be paid for by assess
ments against certain lots. One of the OBJ
jections made is that residents in another
portion of the square have been convent
enced Iy the running of a sewer through a
rear alley, and that the manner in which
the proposed sewer is to be laid will prove
hardship to the residents who will have
to connect with it. The matter will be
brought to the attention of the Commas

Charles Dorset, a plumber who lives in

do so. He deposited s. as collateral for his
appearance in the Police Court.

AGED DISPITANTS.
in Court 10 Settle
Their Differences.

Ralph Thomas and Perry Brown, aged
cuIored men, who have passed the three
score years and ten limit. were in the. Po-
lice Court today to have Judge Scott set
tie their troubles. Each man was anxious
to tell his story first, but Prosecuting At
torncy MullCwny objected on the ground
that the imaginary troubles of the old men
would make too long a narrative.
1t was explained to the judge that the
men lived together at III 10th street and
last night, when Brown returned home and
sat down to eat some food that had been
given to him. Thomas directed him to leave
the house. The men did not agree as to
what followed Brown says Thomas fired
three shots at him, at the same time saying
he would Kill him. on the other hand,
Thomas says that Brown threw a lamp at
him before ne discharged his revolver.
Then he only fired to scare him.
Both men We're anxious to argue the case,
but the court declined to hear them. Judge
Scott said ne did not want to send Thomas
to Jail on account of his age and told At
torney Frisby that he would impose a s.
fine.
The old man will have to go to Jail.

hasn't a cent in the world

this small amount" Judge Scott remarked.

PICTURES OF REAL ARTISTIC MERIT

Genuine Enjoyment.
FIN E FIG URE Studio S

The eighth annual exhibition of Wash
ington amateur photographers opened Mon
day evening with a first view to the mem
bers of the club, to exhibitors and few in
vited friends. The exhibition, which was
opened to the public yesterday, is held
in the new addition to the Walter
building, 1910 f street northwest, built
about year ago for the especial use of the
Capital Camera Club. The rooms would
seem rather too small were they not so
Hastily and conveniently arranged. The
walls of the reception room proper are COW
cred with a warm tinted paper which sets
off the pictures well, while the upper floor,
the studio, which is finished in natural
wood and fitted with splendid north light
OF the most approved design, is also used
for the exhibit of pictures, and some of the
best work is there shown The exhibition
Will come as an agreeable surprise to the
visiting art lover, who will also appreciate
the no charge for admission policy
adopted.
AS pictures which have received recogni-

attract attention not only for their rather
heroic size but for the subtle charm of
their composition and treatment. Her

the catalogue. Miss Prall has been a de-
voice of the camera but few months, iad
the quality OF her work is really a surprise
although much of the beauty of her pic
lures comes from an art training
Wallace c. Babcock exhibits a variety of
pictures although he has submitted in the
past so many specimens of landscapes that
one hardly thinks of him as successful in
any other line.
Frank Roe Batchelder has in his Sad

tells its story with touching simplicity
The pose of his subject is good but the lit

of which are surprisingly attractive.

ton anywhere else are barred, the visitor
is assured Of seeing new material and old
subjects in new and attractive lights. one
of the noticeable features of the exhibit is
the absence of nude studies ard sc&ntiy
draped figures. The entire collection IS of
a clean, healthy character, refreshing
throughout.
Many Exhibits.
The invitation to exhibit extended by the
committee to local amateurs was SO widely
responded to that the committee was
obliged to scale down the number of pic
lures hung by each exhibitor, which, how
ever has not worked to the detriment of
the collection as a whole by any means.
The members of the jury of awards are
Prof Thos. w. Smllie of the National Mu-
scum Miss Frances b. Johnston. who does
not need to be introduced to Washington
ians. and Prof. f. c. Messer, the artist.
The pictures are hung on the walls con-
secutively, beginning on the north side near
the stairs. the first being a head study by
Mr.. W. p. Herbst He has ten pictures
hung. the best of which. probably. No. al,
Mr. Jenkins persists in calling 'Pensive
Pickles The pictures do him great credit.
A certain charm invests the landscapes
submitted by Edward J. Daw. which at
tract the onlooker from the first glance.
The finish and neatncss of their execution,
as well as the artistic character of the Sc
lections, are especially noticeable.
While all of c. Francis jenkins pictures
show comprehensive grasp of the subject
of figure studies and pOrtraiture, and no
ticeably so The Choir Boy" his attainment
in artificial lighting is strikingly original
and he has set standard in this line far in
advance of anything heretofore accom-
plished.
Some two years ago considerable proml-
nence was given to night scenes made both
in this country and abroad. The pictures
of this character made by local amateurs
notably picture of the capital by j. w. l..
Dillman. compare faEcraby with the best
made elsewhere. The taking Of this kind
of picture is attended with MUCH personal
discomfort to the amateur, for il can be
successfully done only in the rain, and the
best hour is midnight.
Miss Kate S. Curry exhibits eight pic
lures. The work is good, but hardly as
much Improvement during the past twelve
months is shown might reasonably be
expected from the medalist of last year s
exhibit. She has a very truthfully pre-
scented picture in her 'Riupics.'
1t is not difficult to see that T \. MuIlett
knows how to pose" flowers for their pie
lures He has two specimen prints which
