HOLLYWOOD ATTRACTS BUYERS
First Sale of Lots Surpasses Expec-
tations of Management.

The first sale of lots at Hollywood on
the HILL" held last Thursday, was re-
garded by Edward Daniels. the manager
Of the subdivision, as a great success. A
large crowd was carried out 70 this at
tractive Maryland suburb on the cars Of
the City and Suburban Railroad. where
they spent several hours inspecting the
property and buying lots at auction. Some
thing like 5000 worth OF lots was dis
posed Of that day alone. The bidding was
spirited and showed that those who had
been drawn thither were we'll satisfied
with the offerings made by the eOmpany.
Hollywood on the Hill" is a large
tract Of ground recently subdivided and
improved, and placed upon the market.
1t joins Daniels Park, just north of Ber-
wyn. and has all the advantages which
belong to that well-known suburb.
In speaking Of the sale yesterday, Mr.
Daniels said:
while the day was perfect and the
sale of lots beyond my expectations, the
fact which pleased me most was the re-
fined and genteel class Of people who
went on the excursion. Many feared the
generous terms offered would attract an
undesirable class Of buyers. Many who
wanted to buy. but who were careful and
particular as to their neighbors. watched
the sale for some time TO see the class Of
citizens who were going to make Holly
wood on the Hill their homes. After sat
isfying themselves thoroughly on this
point they selected and bought. feeling
satisfied. after talking with the owner
and agent Of Hollywood. that nothing
would be left undOne TO make il A most
desirable place for a suburban home.

The BIackbird Defended.

Editor The Washington Herald;
In your issue of Thursday morning is
an editorial entitled "Blackbirds and Red
winged Blackbirds' It is evident that
the only backbird which has come under
the notice Of The Herald Audubon is the
purple grackle,' or CROW blackbird. -
as it is very commonly styled. It is true
that he is a thief. but it would be more
accurate to call him a bold robber than
"a thief and coward as he is pUgnacious
and brave in attacking the crow and
hawk. or other birds of greater size than
himself I can imagine him screaming
IN agony" when made the victim of a
shaft from the long bow Of an editor, but
ne will fight anything near his size when
occasion requires.
Then as to his song. It is true that
many of his notes are harsh and discord-
ant. but it is equally true that his love
song has notes with a peculiarly metallic
and melOdi0us tone But it was not the
graCkle to which the editor Of the Nash
vile Tennesseean referred, but the red
winged starting" or soldier blaCkbrd -
as he is called from the bright red epaulets
on his shoulders The species is common
and abundant in Maryland. the District
Of Columbia, and the adjacent portions Of
Virginia. frequenting meadows and
marshes. but also visiting the uplands,
where he may be seen by the intelligent
observer conspicuously perched on a limb,
telegraph pole, or fence stake, giving
forth a by no means unmelodious song,
without great variety. it is true. but by
no stretch of unpOetiC fancy TO be styled
horrible This statement I think, is
due to both the editor of the Tennesseean
and the red-WiEged blackbird.

Editor The Washington Herald.
l offer some reasons why the tubercu-
lin test should not be applied IN the diary
business;
First-Tuberculin was discovered in lss2 a quarter
Of century ago and has not been used % suy eZ-
tent and only a few localities have made its use
compulsory. Many States have tried II and have
abandoned It's use.
Second-Pfof Koch who discovered the tubsr-
cllin has said over his name that II was not in-
fallihle and could not be relied upon IN an cases
He has also said that tuberculosis in cattle is not
communicable % human beings
Thifd-PT0f Bang" Of Denmark has had mCrs
experience with tuherculin than any other man who
has used it, ard in one of his papers he uses the
following quotation: "Tubercuin is not absolutely
ta Ire relied upon
Fourth-The cows affected the worst viii respond
the least.
Fffth-Cows will not respond after they have been
tested three or four times and are immune there
after.
siIth-The best physicians all agree that the dis
ease cannot be transmitted unless the mammsry
glands or the udder are affected.
Seyerth-I saw eleven COWS killed and examined.
and only two Of them badly affected, and they
could easily have been condemned by physical eyami-

Odd Cause of Thunder.

that the most outrageous superstitions

was unscientific. One old writer ex-
plains the belief Of his day-that "a
