PROJECTED IMPROVEMENT.
Erection of Large ONCE Building in
the Near Future.

An important improvement Is to be be-
gun at once, which will result IN the erec-
ton OF a large and modern Office building
at the southwest corner Of 14th street and
New York avenue, on the ground which,
with the exception of the corner, has been
unimproved for many years. This enter
prise, which will involve the expenditure,
Including the value of the land, of about
$4,000. is to be carried out by Mr.. Chas.
H. Bond Of Boston. and Messrs. H. Brad
ley Davidson and John C. Davidson of this
city.
About year ago Mr.. Bond, who carries
on a large tobacco business in Boston. be-
gan the investment OF money in real estate
IN this city. He bought the property at the
northwest corner OF 10th and F streets,
where he erected a business building,
which Is now under lease Through the
same firm of real estate brokers, Messrs
Davidson 6 Davidson, he next bought the
unimproved ground on each side Of the
corner Of 18th street and New York ave-
nue., paying about S14 per square foot.
Subsequently he acquired the corner prop
erty, for which he paid about $35 per
square foot The entire property has a
frontage of 119 feet on 14th street and 1872
feet on New York avenue, and contains
about II, 800 square feet.
Recently Mr.. Bond sold one-half interest
in this property to the Messrs- Davidson
& Davidson, and the owners are having
plans prepared by Mr.. Geo. W. Cooper,
architect for a seven-story building,
which, as stated, is to be erected on this
site.
The work of construction Is to be pushed
as rapidly as possible, so that the building
will be ready for occupancy this coming
fail. The first floor will be devoted to brsi-
ness purposes, and will be divided I'D into
stores, while the upper floors will be used
for Office purposes. The exterior walls are
10 be of brick and stone. and the building
Is 10 be modern in all its equipments
Mr.. Bond looks upon that locality as one
OF growing Importance as a business CEN
ter. and at one time he contemplated erect
Ing building for use as an apartment
store. 1t Is possible that this idea may yet
he carried out. as the preparation Of the
plans has not advanced so far as that
changes cannot be made II desired.

to Pay.

With claims aggregating $4,000 filed
against the estate and with not more than
$65 to pay the same Justice Cole, holding
the Probate Court, this afternoon signed

earnest and diligent effort to collect the
claims of the deceased against various par
ties, with but poor success. Many of them,

of the Chamberlin Hotel for some time, and
the claims were worthless even during the
lifetime of the deceased.

now ON hand balance of $76.31, from
which there are court costs to be paid.
Her local attorneys, she says, have served
without remuneration.
The amount o.. claims filed against the es-
tate in this jurisdiction is nearly $4,000,
and in New York 500, 200.
h Under the order of the court, after the
payment of the costs, the Administrative

hands to her local attorneys.

includes the names of potentates, stage
celebrities and well-known personages in
society and business.

Discusses Municipal Franchises.

Municipal Franchises and the Regula-
ton OF Rates was the theme of an address
by Judge Barnard delivered last evening
before the members of the Capital Social
Science Club in the hall of the Central
High School. The speaker said In the course
of an elaborate paper that the power given
by law to regulate corporations was not a
power to destroy. He said that in cases
where the business carried on constituted
national monopoly the municipal govern
ment should own the plant and conduct the
business or the rates should be fairly regu-
lated by law.
In the discussion which followed Messrs
Z. c. Clark. E. Frank Carson and McCur-
ty took part.

HUNDRED, ". Va. October 6.-Hon.

the largest crowd of Democrats that

pointed its president. F. M. Kellar, and

next Congressman at Littleton and es-
cort him to Hundred, where he was
billed to speak at 7:30 p. m. On his ar
rival in charge of the committee he
was escorted to the parlors of the Com
mefcial Hotel, where he held a formal
reception for about thirty minutes, dur
ing which time a large procession.
headed by our martial band arrived
from B6rton and repaired to the CLUB
room, which has a seating capacity OF
500. The club room was filled to rel
flowing, many standing in the open Win
dows and doors. There were many Re-
publicans present, and compared his
address with the one delivered by Capt.
Dovener on the previous evening to a
mere handful of voters, many of whom
were Democrats. Your correspondent
heard a number Of Republicans express
themselves as being we'll pleased with
his address.

HON. JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS,


Former CONGRESSMAN From Wash
fngton, Addressed q Large and En-
fhusiastic Crowd at Anderson.
Special to the Register.
ANDERSON, w. Va, October THE
most clear. concise and mastery dis
enssion of the political issues of the
day that it has been the pleasure OF
the Anderson people to hear for some
time was the speech of Hon. James
Hamilton Lewis, Of Washington, in the
A. c. /. hall last evening.
Quite a large crowd was present, and
Mr.. Lewis speech was punctuated with
frequent enthusiastic outbursts of ap-
prevail.
In his lengthy discussion Mr.. Lewis
used Republican papers and the ma
tional Republican campaign book 10
prove to the audience that the Philip
pine islands were being retained on ac-
count of their worth and not for any
humane motives.
Mr.. Lewis was on his way to Wash
ington to argue a case before the Su-
preme Court. His speech here was a
veritable gem Of oratory. and SO plain
and logical that it was easily under
stood by all.
]. Hampton Hoge and Mike Roach,
Republican orators, addressed a small
crowd at this place on last Wednes-
day. Hoge's speech was eloquent, but
devoid of any logical reasoning. Roach,
who poses as the Irish orator. had
neither eloquence nor logic to adorn
his speech.
The Republicans evidently know that
the state of affairs in the Eighth dis
trict and in this (Monroe) county, is
darkening for them.
Just why the Republican COMMITTEES
had Hoge and Roach TO make speeches
here on Wednesday is lot known, as
that was the day for the joint debate
between Hon. j. H. Holt and A. B
White, at Hinton, only twenty-one
! miles distant. but it is thought that
they wanted to keep as many from hear
ingthe joint debate between Holt and
White as possible. knowing that White
was no match for Holt In a joint dis
custom.

that purpose, was passed In 1878 by the
Republicans. There have been but two
straight-out silver platforms ever
adopted. One raj by the Republicans
in 1883 and the other by the Demo-
Gratis in 1896. In 1896 the Republicans
declared in favor OF the present

ment. The present" standard was the
standard of the Democratic admins

publicans claim that they have carried
out this platform and the claim. is justi-
fed by the facts. The Cleveland stand
ard is still with lie. The Republicans
assert that it has caused a prosperity
which existed from 1896 to 1899. II

he becomes President Of the United
States. This country has made several
violent changes in administrative pol
icy, but there has never yet been a
time when the people OF this country
allowed such a change to interfere with
their business. The matter of trade
and commerce is not controlled by the
executive but by the business men
themselves, and those business men are
not going to willingly curtail their own
profits by reducing the amount Of bust
