Moderate Prices for Land.
Land sells at from So TO 30 cents a
foot, and house and lot can be pur-
chased at ali prices from $4,000 up. This
means a lot large enough for a spacious
lawn, back yard which can be devoted
TO a garden. poultry yard. automobile
house, barn, or anything desired. Many
of the residents have lawn tennis courts
adjoining their houses, a source of en-
ioyment and health which few city
jewellers can obtain. 4 WE'LL id-out and
weIl-kept golf links is also near at hand.
The children have all the room they
want for baseball and kite flying and
every game they like.
Schools and Churches.
The facilities which Cleveland Park
has for reaching the city are so ex-
cellent that it really has no need OF
public schools or churches Of its OVID.
BY two car lines. either of which viii
transport you to the downtown business
districts in from twenty minutes TO
half an hour, the resident Of Cleveland
Park can reach any of the best churches
and schools in the city in the same
time that is required to walk from Q
Street to the New York Avenue Church.
Nevertheless. one of the prettiest OF
churches and one most fashionably At
tended during the summer, is St Adams
CEpIscopaD Cathedral Chapel. within the
limits of the Park; and one OF the best
OF Washington's schools for girls is the
Phoebe 4. Hearst School, on the
grounds adjoining St. Adams.
For a summer residence, for those
whose business obliges them to remain
near town, the Park is cool End
pleasant resort. The breeze from the
hills makes life one grand. sweet song.

~ OMANTIC and picturesque snug
gIers and wreckers, who piled
their dangerous work of Turing
ships on the rocks by false beacons,
have practically disappeared from North
America, and with the best lighted and
patroIled coasts IN the world there is
little opportunity for these latter day
pirates to operate The little smuggling
that is carried on is of petty nature
and consists chiefly In carrying Few
goods across the Canadian boundary by
small peddlers and tradesmen. Occa-
sionally . sloop or fishing schooner is
fitted out in some Newfoundland OF Ca
madam port with a small cargo OF goods,
and after loading up with dried or salt
ed fish to conceal the real nature of her
business she will attempt to make the
run to some American port on the At
lantic coast to discharge her dutiable
articles. But such experiments are Of
the most risky and adventurous charac-
tor, and the alert revenue officers dis
courage a second undertaking in The
most efficient way. 1t is rarely that
such load of struggled goods passes
inspection and reaches its destination
without being seized.
The smuggler has thus been pracu-
calIy eliminated from the ocean, and if
he operates at all it is chiefly on land
Considering the vastness of the Ameri-
can seacoasts and the width of the great
oceans which wash either shore, this is
no small accomplishment for the reve-
nue. service. From the northern coast
Of Maine 10 New Orleans, the coast is
patroIled by revenue cutters. the duties
OF which are primarily TO prevent or
stop smuggling, and secondarily. TO look
after the general interests OF shipping
and shipwrecked mariners. On the Pa

in winter warmed for the convenience of
persons waiting for the cars.
The Park has been laid out to pre-
serve the beautiful rolling character of
the tract, and is greatly admired because
Of this feature. Most of the houses
erected have beenScarefuny designed, so
as TO preserve the spirit of the sur
roundings. A great deal of artistic skill
has been shown in the designing as well
as an effort made to secure the greatest
comfort both within and without.
Porches and balconies form an important
feature. 1t has required delicate taste
to avoid an unpleasant conflict of colors
in houses lying near each other. The use
of stains and different woods, stone and
brick has been freely resorted to to Sc
cure a happy variety, and so carefully
has this thought been observed that
among the forty or fifty houses of the
Park, with a single exception. there is no
repetition OF design.

ties devoted its session, today, to the dlS-
cuSsion of interpretations on the foreign
policy OF the government to winch Minis
ter DelcaSSe will reply, tomorrow. The
Nationalist deputy Lncien MlleVoye open
ed the debate by review of the whole
information act on the part of France for
~ years past. He argued that the armed
peace of Europe originated in two great
errorS-the treaties of Frankfort and BCr-
lin He urged the establishment of Las

Spain and attacked the policy which eX-
clided the Transvaal from The Hague ar

France for watching in silence the mas
sacre of the Armenians and expressed the
hope that she would not observe the same
attitude towards the Macedonian question.
Here diplomacy must do its duty. he said.
and must not fail in what has been the
glory OF France through the course Of
centuries.
Georges Berry, Conservative. said the
Sultan of Turkey had been promising re-
forms in Macedonia since 1SS2 and the gov
eminent should nave taken the opportu-
nifty when the French fleet made its dem
onstration at Mitylone of Insisting on the
execution Of those reforms.
NJ Delafosse independent made an in

in Morocco where. he argued, the interests
of France demanded that no other power
should be allowed to obtain foothold.
When this point was settled he contin-
ucd, France should set about making Il

criticized the governments policy in the

NEARLY ALL ADOPTED.
New Hampshire Voters Approve of
Most of Proposed Amendments.

Manchester n. H., March 10.-A
general vote was taken throughout the
state, today, in connection with the
annual town meetings and municipal
elections in several of the cities, on the
proposed amendments to the consti-
tuition and although the complete vote
will not be known for several days, suf-
ficient returns were received, tonight,
to indicate that nearly all had been
adopted.
Woman's suffrage, however. received
scant favor, being defeated by a vote
of almost 3 to 1, while q. similar fate
was meted out to the so-called relig
ious amendment seeking to strike out
the word Protestant" and substitute
ing that of christian in that portion
of the bill or rights permitting towns
to appropriate money for religious so
cieties.
Strangely enough the proposition to
divide the state into smaller voting
precincts was also rejected, although
majority of the voters favored it as
they did the religious amendment, both
failing adoption through lack of the
necessary two thirds.
On the other hand the antitrust
amendment, giving the Legislature
power to enact laws to prevent COR
porations from raising prices and stiff
ing competition, was adopted by a
large Majority, as We're those placing
an educational qualification on suf-
frage and reappointing the representa-
ton in the lower branch of the Legisla-
ture.
Several other minor amendments
were also adopted by large majorities.
