The tract occupies about three-fourths
of mile facing on Blair road and bounded
on the south by Madison street The deed
for this street is now in possession of the
District, and the work of opening and grad
ing the street will shortly be commenced.
When the improvement is completed the
distance will be about five squares to the
Brightwood cars. The extension will be
made from Madison street, North Bright
wood and when extended: to Blair road will
be an attractive thoroughfare The tract
is bounded by 1st and Sd streets north
west when the extension of these streets
is completed
The property has sewer facilities and ar
rangements are being made for the extern
sion of water and gas mains to this vicin-
ity. The ground is on high elevation,
overlooking the tracks of the Baltimore

acre tracts and put on the market There
has been steady demand for several years
past for acreage property in the vicinity
of Takoma Park, which demand has been
met by the recent purchase The popula-
ton of Takoma Park has been increasing
rapidly of late, as is evidenced by the large
number of homes now under construction,
in addition to those completed during the
past summer, making 1t a most popular
residential section.

SHOT SELF IN HEAD
POST OFFICE CLERK COMMITS
SUICIDE.
James s. Sharpe Puts Bullet Through
Right Temple-Was
Dependent

Suffering from severe attack of nervous
Indigestion and unable to eat food enough
to nourish his body, James S. Sharpe,
sixty-seven years old, who was employed
as clerk in the office Of the auditor for
the Post Office Department. committed sui
eide last night by shooting himself in the
right temple. The act was committed at
the home of his married daughter, Mrs.
Maud Wiley, 1923 Dumbarton avenue,
shortly after 8 o'clock. Mr.. Sharpe was
removed to the Emergency Hospital, where
he died about o'clock this morning. Cor
oner hewitt investigated the case and gave
the necessary certificate of death. Later
the body was turned over to an undertaken
and taken to the Georgetown house. Dur
ing the thirty years that Mr.. Sharpe has
been in the government service he had
made a good record as a clerk, and had
host of friends to mourn his sudden ending.
Mr.. Sharpe had been suffering for several
months with complication of diseases,
and his daughter, Mrs. Wiley, noticed that
lately he seemed very respondent. His ac-
lions within the last day or two were so
peculiar that she became very apprehen-
sive. Last night, especially, while in con-
versa ton with him, his manner was such
as to cause her great alarm, and when
while sitting with her in the parlor, he
suddenly left and went out on the back
porch, and having noticed that his revolver
was missing from his bureau drawer, she
FASTENED next door and entreated one of
her neighbors, Mr. n. H. Baker, to go to
her father and try to divert his mind from
what she feared was his intention to shoot
himself.
Mr. Baker Immediately went to Mr.. Sharpe
and was endeavoring to induce him to re-
turn to the house and play game or CARDS,
when Mr. E. w. Van Dyke, his attorney,
called. and going to the porch, seconded
Mr. Bakers efforts. Finally Mr. Sharpe ap-
peared to yield and about o'clock the
three started into the house. The unfortu-
nate man, who at last appeared greatly
agitated, seemingly regained his composure,
but when he reached the dining room ne
went ahead of the others, stating that ne
was going to the bath room, and, before
reaching the hallway, suddenly took PTS,
toll from his pocket and fired. The ball
entered his head just above the right tenn
pie and lodged near the base of the brain.
Physicians and an ambulance were imme-
diately summoned by telephone and he was
taken to the Emergency Hospital, where
he died at 4 o'clock am
Friends and relatives called at the hospi-
tai during the night and made anxious in
quiries respecting the condition of Mr..
Sharpe.
Mr.. Sharpe was a widower and had lived
in Washington all his life. Since the death
of his wife he had made his home at
the house of his daughter. Friends and
relatives of the deceased are satisfied that
his mind was unbalanced at the time he
fired the fatal shot
Arrangements have been made for the hold
ing of the funeral services tomorrow after
noon. The interment will be at Rock Creek
cemetery.

Japanese Wrestling Tricks.

Gus Johnson, champion middleweight
wrestler of Germany, who is now in
New York. spent four years in Japan
studying japanese tricks. He has pick
ed up some very clever maneuvers in
the mikado's land, among which are the
following:
At the beginning of bout or at any
stage of it, when an opponent attacks
you on the floor, on your hands and
knees, gradually work your way to the
rear. Suddenly thrust an arm back and
put the hand between his legs above the
knee. Encircle the near leg, pull it up
and forward. forcing your opponent on
his back. Fall on him.
Again, when man endeavors to spin
or bridge out of a further or a half Nell
son block his left shoulder with your
right knee (when attacking from his
left side, as is customary. He will
then be able to execute only the pre-
hnlinary part of the bridge or spin, and
at the same time he will wrench his
left shoulder severely.

A PITCHING RECORD
+ THAT BEATS M'GINNITY'S.

The proud boast made by the friends
of Joe McGinnity of his having made
the greatest pitching record ever cred
tied to a twirler when he pitched and
won two double headers in the same
week is discounted by a performance
that Jack Harper, the Cincinnatis' lead
ing twirler, made when he was with the
Fort Wayne team in 1900 Jack was a
farm hand that year. having been tried
out by st. Louis in the spring and sent
to Fort Wayne to get little better ac-
quainted with the ways of the world
and of ball playing before he again es-
sayed to perform in high society. 1t
came near the end of the season, and
Fort Wayne was in sore need of victo-
ries.
There were two other twirIers on the
Fort Wayne team besides Harper, one
of them being Cy Swain, the tall
schoolmaster, who once amused audi
ences all over the circuit as a member
of the Washington team. During this
quest for victories the third pitcher of
the team was taken i'll, and Harper
promised to pitch his game for him too.
So it came about that there was a
double header in which Harper and the
sick man were slated to perform. Har-
per pitched the first game and won.
The second game had been allotted to
the sick man, and Harper as his under
study pitched that, too, and won it.
The next day it was Swaim's turn to
go on the rubber. In the first inning
two long hits were made off him for d
starter, and he walked out of the box
declaring that he simply could not
stand the strain of being hammered all
over the lot. There being no other
pitcher Harper again was asked to go
in and he did winning that mo al
establishing a record of pitching and
capturing three games in two days,
which is a better record than McGin-
nifty ever made.

HoPPER AND awANe.n

The success which has attended the
De Wolf Hopper revival of Wang" is
proving more and more embarrassing
to the Shuberts and William A. Brady.
These managers recently bought a new
opera, entitled "Elysium," from Regi-
maid De Koven and Frederick Ranken,
whose contract provided that their
work should be produced during the
current season. Messrs. Shubert and
Brady want to live up to the agree
ment, but wang" continues to attract
record wrecking audiences, and they. are
naturally loath to stop the inward flow
of money. The premier of "Elysium'
has been postponed and postponed I'M
til it cannot decently o. be postponed
much longer. 1t is probable, therefore,
that Mr.. Hopper will desert Wang" in
the late spring and that his talents and
legs will be fitted into new part in a
new vehicle.

TIE LACROSSE BOOM.

Lacrosse, the great Canadian game, is
rapidly becoming popular in the United
States.
The oldest and leading lacrosse or
ganization in this country is the Inter
collegiate Lacrosse Association of the
United States, representing Johns Hop
kins university. Swarthnlore (Pa.), Lee
high (Pa.) and Stevens institute (EIo-
boken, n. ~ This body has adopted
rules substantially the same as those
of the National Amateur Lacrosse I'M
ion of Canada. The championship was
won last spring by Swarthmore, her
team beating the former leaders, Johns
Hopkins, by score of to 8. Suisse
quently Swarthmore beat the Toronto
university twelve by a score of to 2,
winning Canadian as well as United
States honors.
A newer organization among the col
leges consists of a league between Co
lumbia. Cornell, Haverford and the
University of Pennsylvania. In max
between the teams of both bodies and
also with independent twelves.
Shooting goals is one of the sIillfuI
features of lacrosse. An ordinary OBJ.
server would say that when a man was
able to place the ball anywhere within
the limits of the six foot square he had
acquired the art, but it is necessary to
have far better control than this in or
der to get it past an efficient goalkeep-
er. good player should be able to hit
a twelve inch square five out of six
times.

Tennis Team ooina Abroad.

At last the United States Lawn Ten

although some persons doubt that it
ever had any. A real challenge has
finally been cabled to England for Sc

coming summer.
That action was decided on at the

The Dohertys.

Well, let the dead past bury the al
most dead tennis players. We are as
sured of an England versus America
series during the summer, and that is
sufficient. The makeup of our team
will not be known until the early tour
neys have been played. 1t is a matter
of doubt as to whether we can form a
team that will succeed in holding the
Doherty brothers of England in check
Those white flanneled racket wielders
are the best the world ever produced.
H L. Doherty, however, does not enjoy
the best of health, and for that reason
the brothers cannot be depended on to
win every time.
The Dohertys hold the Davis interna-
tional challenge cup, which will be
played for next summer. The condi-
tions of competition for the cup will be
modified, it is thought, as the Dohertys
and several French players claim that
the special rules are confusing and in
some respects too stringent.

RIvAl COMIC OPERAS.

Comic opera and musical comedy are
having an interesting fight for suprem-
acy on the boards in New York. Comic
opera may be defined as that class of
musical performance which tells le-
ultimate story and musical comedy as
that class which does not. In comic
opera each song is supposed to further
the dialogue; in musical comedy the
common Introduction of a number is.
And, speaking of dinner, did you ever
hear of The Courteous Cannibal
King? " Comic opera started off with
first honors, Lady Teazle,' "Fatinitza"
and THE Duchess of Dantzic" bringing
out eulogies of the old time school of
entertainment. Jefferson De Angels
brought "Fantana" to the Lyric and
turned the tide '.Fantana' is about as
legitimate as the third king of Babylon.
Its plot begins nowhere, strays for a
couple of hours and ends in the same
place. It's musical numbers are cock
ney, Chinese, German and Japanese,
but it is uproariously funny, brilliantly
tuneful and charmingly staged, and it
will. remain in Gotham until May.

Some Donkeys and others,

AIS native Gallo wit asserts itself
when he gravely assures you that in
preparing for his part he studied not
only the donkeys which haul the cos
ters' carts about London, but also the
two legged specimens of the genus who
haunt the stage doors of Drury Lane
and other British theaters devoted to
the time honored Christmas pantomime
Since then Ali has assumed the MINI
&c likeness of all sorts of animals
dogs, cats, cows, donkeys, monkeys and
even a parrot on one occasion. He will
be remembered as mot that kind of
dog in 'Fiddle-de -Dee,'' the funniest
of the ''Weberfields'' burlesques Ali's
success is due to the fact that he doesn't
merely clown" but characterizes each
animal he impersonates and always
keeps Sin the skin of the part"
His Tige in Buster Brown is a de-
light to canine fanciers as well as to
critics.
Ali came to America originally to
join David Henderson's then celebrated
