Is GROWING.
STEADY INCREASE IN PoPULA.
TloN OF THE CAPITAL.
Demand for Houses Far Exceeds the
Supply in Spite Of Building That
Has Been Done.

Washington as a city of homes Il
very much in evidence just now. i
seems to. be the opinion this year thai
the demand for apartments and fol
houses did not begin quite SO early al
was the case last year, but the pros
pect seems to be that it will be quite
equal to what it was last fall. There
has been no reduction in rents, anG
the supply of vacant suites and vacant
houses has been the lowest in years
In spite of the increase in the number
of buildings this condition of the mar
ket is taken to mean that the pIpula
tion has grown, and as far as known
the growth is continuing.
It has been the apprehension all
along that the city was being over
built, especially in the line of apart
ment houses. Thus far there has
been no clear indication of such a
condition. In the event the close OF
the present rental season shows q
supply Of vacant houses and apart,
ments, some conclusion may be formed
on this subject that will have at leas
the value of being based on facts
Owing to various conditions tb
amount of building done during tip
past year, which has equaled the re-
ord of last year, which has undoubta-
ly given strength to the market aId
kept in check the tendency to oyerde
Another circumstance that las
served to help the rental market Jas
been the withdrawal of large number
Of houses from that section of the mar
ket in order that they might be Dld.
The demand from people who wan to
own their own homes has without
doubt been the feature of the realty
situation for the past few years, and
its continuance is indicated by thu ad-
dition to the number of such houses
and the success which is met win on
disposing of them.
It is the belief of the brokers who
are in the midst of active trading and
are therefore in position to know the
character of the market, that the sup
ply of home buyers has been by no
means exhausted. In fact, it Is said
that for a certain class of house, say
one that contains seven rooms and
sells for about $1,000; there is not
enough to meet the demand. OF course
it may be said that the supply OF
homes at moderate price, to GER
tain extent never at any time equals
the demand, for there are more people
who want that class of hoube than
any other and at the same time it is
difficult to find the ground and to build
a house that can be put on the market
at that price.
It is, however, good indication Of
the condition of the market that now,
after a year or two of active home
buying, the movement is net yet fin
ished and there are still additions be-
ing made to the army of people who
already own their homes or hre in the
process of acquiring them. AS far as
known the inflow of population into
this city is still going on, ard it seems
likely that it is going to continue, for
every year the attractions bf the city
increase and the inducements to peo-
pie to make their homes here are be-
coming more widely known.

Beautifyins Washington.


In point of architecture Washing
ton will soon be one of thu most beau
tiful cities in the world It is not
far away now. The dream of the
great man for whom the national cap.
ital was named will particularly be re-
allied.
In buildings and bridges now under
construction, Washington is spending
$5O,00O,O0O. Others which will cost
SIC, O,OOO, 900 are projected The senate
and house Office buildings will repre-.
sent an expenditure Of 100000. The
eastern front of the capitol is to be
extended in marble at cost Of s.. $780,
900. A fine building for the supreme
court is in contemplation. The rail-
roads are expending $12,0o0,000 on a
magnificent union passenger depot.
Two steel bridges are to be thrown
across the Potomac river, and the
largest cement bridge in the world
will span Rock creek. There will be
a war college for the army, and sew
eral imposing university buildings,
and extensive Improvements are to be
made at the navy yard and the sol
diers' home.
When the house and senate office
buildings are completed the plaza east
of the capitol will be- nearly surround
ed by one of the most magnificent
groups of public buildings in the
world. When the supreme court
building goes up It'll will probably be
without a rival.
All of which suits The American peo-
ple.

Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, once

Letter to Hammond & Ennis
Milford. Del.

Dear Sirs: How did you get your
business? ? We'll tell you how we got
ours. You sell shoes, we make paint ;
perhaps we can do a good turn to our
selves, you and we, by swapping ex-
periences.
We began 152 years ago in little
shop a few.minutes walk from where
we are now great many things have
happened, we don't remember them
all. We made as good paint as we
could and learned to make better. We
are the oldest now we don't know
whether we had any teacher or not (;
it's so long ago; if we had, he's gone
and forgotten. We should have been
forgotten, if we hadn't made good paint
and friends.
You buy your shoes you have an
advantage in that if you make mis-
take, you can stop it quick if you make
a hit, you can push it quick. We've
had to go slow; it's hard to pick-out
ones own mistakes, and nothing but
fun to correct the mistakes Of others.
You know where to go for leather
that keeps its shape, feels good, looks
new, and wears long time. What
comfort it is to be comfortable from
making ones customers comfortable
We also have unique advantage
unique, you know, means that nobody
else has anything like it. We make a
strong paint that takes less gallons
saves half the cost of painting your
house, and it's like that leather ofyours
for wear. 1t is all paint and the strong
est of paint. Paint is usually adulter-
ated and weak.
We're very old, but we make young
paint one gallon is better than two, if
it has the stuff in it.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvOE & Co.,
