Potomac river was near and the pestilen-
tlal flats were unknown.
The situation was looked upon in those
days as especially choice because of it's
proximity to such a large body of water.
Probably the desirability of the location
as much as anything else influenced Mr..
Van Ness in the erection of the large
and expensive home for his own use, and
there he and his family lived. his wife dy-
ing twelve years later He survived until

Property on F Street.
AS soon as the lease on the property at
the southeast corner of 18th and F streets
expires, which will not be until some time
next February it is said to be the purpose
of the new owner to proceed with the cree
ton of a steel frame office building. The
property adjoins the large building owned
by Mr.. Henry Strong of Chicago. and as
the property of the latter completely sur
rounds the two sides of the corner piece, it
was supposed the purchaser of the corner
was Mr. Strong. 1t is, however, stated
that while the new owner is a son-in-law of
Mr.. Strong, this Is his Individual transac-
ton
Mr.. Strong has three buildings on the F
street front of the same block and is the
principal individual owner in that square.

It comes from the lips OF the hero,
British officer, in the love scene which
is the novels happy ending.
The novel was written while Sir Henry
was home from India on a furlough. A
year after being called to the bar, in
1872, Sir Henry went out to Bengal,
where he was in the civil service, but he
was soon transferred to the political de-
partment of the Indian government, and
gained rapid promotion. In 1880 he
acted as political secretary to Lord
Roberts during the Afghan campaign.
In 1885 he was present with Lord Duff
ferin at the conference with the ameer.
and next year he accompanied Lord Duff
ferin to Mandalay during the Burmese
war After that he negotiated with the
Chinese on the borders Of Thibet, and in
1892 went on a mission 10 Kabul. Sir
Henry resigned the Indian foreign serv-
ice in 1894 to become minister to Tehe-
ran, and three years ago he was chosen
as ambassador TO Spain. At this time he
and Lady Durand celebrated their silver
wedding.
At the time Sir Henry wrote 1.-THE
Ruling Race" he could have had no
definite expectations Of ever represent
ing his country at Washington. For the
most part, the scenes Of the novel de-
scribe civic and military life in India.
The hero is Col. Henry Russell. a gallant
soldier The heroine is Helen Treyerg-
an, daughter Of proud old Cornwall
family. Each has long loved the other,
but neither suspects that that love Is
returned. They discover their mistake

MINES IN CALIFORNIA.
Appreciab1e Mineral wealth Taken
from Ground of All Three OF
the 81 Counties.

There are only three California coun-
fes out of the entire array Of 81 that will
lot make showing in the statistics of
mineral output for the year 1902, says
he San Francisco Call Several OF the
counties that are discovered to have
mineral wealth are not represented by
arge figures of actual production. That
according to expectation. But, con-
lidering the area of the state, its length
md breadth, there is probably no other
country on earth that can be shown to
,e as uniformly mineralized throughout
practically its entire extent.
Among the surprises contained in the
,tatistics to be submitted by the state
mining bureau will be the figures of the
Yalue of the total output of petroleum in
California for 1902. The production was
Tery large, but when the price at the
wells ranges from Is to rs cents per
,arrel for fuel oil 1t does not, compare
lively speaking, require large figures
10 show what 1t sold for in total in the
market The total gold output of two
counties far surpasses the value In the
market of all the oil produced In the
tate during the year 1902. While the
Price of oil has continued to be low, the
value of silver, which Is OF great inter-
psf in Pacific coast camps, has continued
to rise. The government followed the
market from 40 cents to 55 cents in its
purchases for the Philippine coinage.
Then it stopped. Millions of dollars
worth of bullion will be required by the
government before the Philippine coin
lge bill provisions are fully carried out.
At the present price Of silver many sill
yer camps can produce at profit.

It is no easy task to carry to success a
crusade in the interest Of public health,
Those who have engaged In such move
ments. says the Baltimore American,
know how many obstacles must be over
come. how many disappointments and
announcements must be borne with
equanimity before the goal sought is
reached. Public indifference to such
matters Is one of the chief obstacles,
and until that Is removed there can be
very little hope of results worth hav-
Ing. The large majority OF people are
fairly healthy, and it is difficult to make
such people believe that it Is necessary
for them to pay any great amount of at
tention to laws of sanitation or rules
of hygiene. They eat well sleep well,
keep strong and hearty, and hence care
very little for the sanitary condition OF
their surroundings. In truth, 1t Is not
always the dirtiest places In city which
are the most unhealthy. In one section
where the cutters run with filthy water,
where the children are thick as hops and
as dirty as pigs, the mortality is very
low, even less than in sections where
cleanliness is counted next to goodness.
