at Stuttgart, and the new conductor OF
the Philadelphia Orchestra, is expected
to repeat the successes he made IN
Europe Although only forty-three
years OF age he. has achieved veritable
triumphs, notably in Stuttgart and Ber-
in. In The former place, on the occa-
sion Of the opening OF the symphony
concerts of the season, where three
Beethoven symphonies were given, the
NeIes Tageblatt said:
ct would be difficult to find in Ger
many a conductor who could surpass
PohIig IN a thoroughgoing spiritual
comprehension and exposition Of these
works"
Carl Pchiig Is also known as COM
poser. His symponic poem, in four
movements, entitled "a Hero's Death
and Apotheosis," was performed with

3. H Warner says:
When I entered business n 1863, the
buying and selling of real estate through
nsents and brokers was very limited
There were but few men who made
fl a speciality. and it was hard to iln6
purchasers for either inside or outside
property. There had been large
growth induced by the civil war which
had brought many Northern men 10 To-
cate at the National Capital, but tncTC
were no large annual appropriations
for improvements, and expenditures for
municipal purposes were limited. The
city lacked street pavements, sidewalks,
sewers, water@mains, and in fact every
thing which wound create a spirit OF
speculation.
The school system was not modern

of the place made criticism favoTito

1T was not until the board Of public
works came into power and projected
improvements upon comprehensive
and expensive scale that a IaVoTdDie

the Father Of His Country as its Capital

although attention was drawn 10 the
future Of the city and brilliant predlc-
tons made regarding its future, progress
was slow in comparison 10 the growth OF
such cities as New York, Boston, Chi
cago. Buffalo, Cleveland, and others
where the presence and development Of
manufacturing furnished an energy and
progressive spirit not created by the
General Government.
But with the lapse of time and the
erection Of many magnificent public
buildings has come not only firm faith
in the future Of the city, but a large
number Of men devoted to developing
the Capital and making it more attrac-
tive as a place Of residence.

This seems a marvellous advance, and
so il is. but vast amounts of money
have been expended to creaSe a market
for the property at the latter figure.
