In the building of great city. such as is
contemplated by the promoters Of the plan
for Greater Washington, 1t is very essen
tial that homes be provided for the large
population that such movement is sure
to bring. With the rapid increase of popu-
lation there Is always large number of
people who desire to acquire homes far re-

downtown sections, where pure air can be
had. at the same time close connections

The strictly suburban operator does more
toward building city over a large extent
of territory, thereby increasing the value of
outlying property, as well as adding to the
revenues of city, than any other class OF
business men. Washington has Its suburb

operations in the same shortly after the
first of the year.
In speaking to a Star reporter Mr.. Rob-
inson stated that it was the plan of his
company and associates to make extensive
improvements On all of their holdings by
grading streets, installing sewer. water and
gas, making their properties in every way
as desirable as downtown property, as
they are fully CONVINCED that Washington
will be a great city. and all the available
territory will be rapidly built up in the next
few years. The gentlemen associated with
this firm in their extensive operations are
out-of- town capitalists, who are greatly i'm
pressed with the possibilities of>the capital

by the Greater Washington movement

to make this city a great manufacturing
and commercial center.
Such extensive suburban operations as
this firm is carrying on were never under
taken in Washington, and can hardly fail
to meet with great success. as the firm
aims to buy strictly high-class property. or

Fashion in Cigars.
From the Philadelphia Record

The latest fashion in cigars is a shape
that resembles lead pencil in length and
thickness. All the cigar manufacturers are
getting them out, and the longer and thin
ner they are, the more people like them.
1t seems as if the smokers were trying to
get as little for their money as possible.
There's popular belief just now that the
less tobacco there is in cigar the better
the tobacco must be in quality. There's
no getting away from the fact. that the
new lead pencil cigars have a lot of style
to them and are more attractive than the
big kind that bulge out in the middle I

Special Cablesram to The Star.
COPENHAGEN, September 15-Over one
hundred Frenchmen, including prominent
members of parliament and representatives
of science, literature, trade, industry, ship
ping and the press, visited Denmark re-
Gently, coming directly from Paris. The
tour was arranged by the Franco-Scandi-
navian Association. The party remained
four weeks in Denmark and Sweden, in or
der to study the two countries. When it re-
turns to Denmark from the visit to Sweden
a congress between the French representa-
tives and members of the Danish branch of
the Franco-Scandinavian Association will
be held in Copenhagen about the middle Of
September. A discussion will take place on
the best methods of improving the CONNER
cial relations between France and Dem
mark. During a stay in the Danish capital
severa; members of the party paid a visit
to the neighboring CharlottenberS with the
object of seeing the summer palace of King
Frederick. Wandering in the woods that
surround the inclosed park in which the
castle stands they met gentleman walk
ing alone of whom they inquired whether it
would be possible to obtain access to the
gardens. Certainly" he replied, Il hap
pen to have key" and for half an hour ne
led the party about the grounds, pointing
out their beauties and entertaining the
strangers with lively conversation. The
tourists had among them a certain knowl-
edge of Danish, and whenever a difficulty
arose in the talk their guide was able to
help them out by speaking their own Ian
guage. In this way animated interchange
of ideas took place, during which some
members of the party gained a suspicion
that their cicerone was no ordinary person.
1t was, however, only at the close of their
round that their gueSses were confirmed.
The mysterious gentleman took his ieave
with the words, If you care to see the
stables, just say that you have the king s
permission. His majesty then shook hands
with each member of the party and babe
them farewell.

WHAT SOME WOMEN READ.

A man in charge OF a department
in a large reference library in Phil

and read it all day. The next day
she called for a work on botany. For
four successive days she raed history,
astronomy, essays and photography.
On the last day she returned the
book and confided to the man in

Besides the helpers and the Day
Nursery from the Peoples Home
Church, New York City, who remain
for the season, there are accommoda-
lions for from ten to twelve mothers
and their children.
After a sojourn of ten days in this
delightful spot the whole community,
except the permanent residents, pack
up and return to the city refreshed
and ready to tkae up the burdens of
life again. Then another party, who
have been eagerly waiting their turn,
embark for Keansburg, where the
hospitable doors of Camp Wolf stand
open to receive them.
This little outing is of great value
to both mothers and children, for,
although IL limited e do not
provide for many Injuries, the fresh
air and cool sea breezes make up for
every other lack.
Occasionally a Sunday school pic
mic. meeting at the Norris pavilion,
has remembered the children and
sent them some dainties from their
lunch which are not included in the
regular bill Of fare. These treats
are highly enjoyed By the children
ana very much appreciated bV all.

The cost of running the camp for

The cost Of running the camp for
a day is ten dollars, and we are in
viting the New Jersey churches to
cooperate with us in the great work
by taking care of the expense for a
day or half a day, as they can.
Some of them have already arrang-
ed to do this, and we hope many
others will follow their example.
If you cannot give much give a
little. Here is a list of what your
money will do:
81 provides the camp with food for
a day; SIS provides a ten days out
ing for a whole family; So will give
a sick mother a ten days outing; 81
will give a baby a ten days outing;
SOC. will give a family a days out
ing; Csc. will give a mother and child
a days outing; $40 endows o cot in
the nursery for the summer.
Here is an opportunity, with a lit
tie self-denial. perhaps, to help make
many people happy. All are invited
to share in what we believe to be a
blessed good work.=Harriet Brown

FOB A GUEST BOOK.

A book of guests! May it include
The wise, the witty, and the shrewd
And such as own the double art
That makes them friends of head and
heart.
May those who stand recorded here
Grow dearer with each added year;
Acquaintance into friendship grow,
And friendship ever brighter glow.
Old friends are best, we lightly say,
But, as they fall upon the way
Keep full the ranks with newer
friends
Till time the adjective amends.
And if old friInds still seem the best,
The adage should be thus expressed:
Friends are not best because they're
old,
But old, because the years that
rolled
The years that try and mar and
mend
Have proved them worth the title
friend.

DOGS AND RABIES.

One OF the physicians at the Pas
teur Institute in New York declared
recently that there was an epidemic Of
rabies in the city and the surround
ing country. OF course where the
disease once gets a start there is a
probability that it will spread rapidly.
A dog that is affected may bite a
dozen others, and the danger to ami
mails and to human beings may thus
be much increase.
or four cases among people that
were reported recently two came
from pet dogs, and the victims were
their owners. In the other two
cases the affected animals were stray
dogs, one of which had bitten six chill
dren. A child had been bitten by
the other also, and it is likely that
the list is not complete. If the in
juries were slight there might be no
report whatever of the attack, and the
disease itself comes on very slowly,
so that 1t might be several months be-
fore the results were such as to at
tract attention.
The physician already referred TO
said that more cases developed in the
fall months than at any other time OF
the year, but the danger is present
the year around when dogs are al
lowed TO go at large. There can be
no peace of mind for months after a
person is bitten. Though a great
advance has been made in the treat
ment of hydrophobia, there is reason
enough for the continued horror or
the disease, which causes the most
appalling suffering.
But in spite of all that has been
said on the subject, dogs are allowed
to go at large by their owners, and
we suppose that every city has a pig
number of homeless ours roaming
about its streets and alleys. There
are certainly many of the animals in
Chicago which run about unmuzzled
and without leash or chain, though
laws have been passed for the pur-
pose of making such freedom impos-
sible. The dog catchers should look
alive End emulate the crusaders
who are doing such good work in va
rious departments of the city govern
ment.
