charge of assault. Following the DISPOSE
ton OF the assault charge, therefore. the

PINE RESIDENCE SITE
PURCHASE JUST MADE By MR..
ALVIN NJ. LoTHRoP.
Buys the Home Of DR.. VIM. Tindall
at Head Of Connecticut
Avenue.

A sale of property of considerable interest
has lust been closed by j. B. Winner, real
estate broker He has sold the residence
of Dr. William Tindall at the intersection
of Connecticut avenue and Columbia road
to Mr.. Alvin NJ Lothrop of the firm OF
Woodward & Lothrop. DR.. Tindall will
continue to occupy the house until MI.
Lothrop's plans are completed for resi-
dence for his own use, which he INTENDS 10
erect on the site during the present year
The property is one of the most conspicu-
Gus residence sites in the section of the city
mentioned. 1t has broad frontage on the
plaza formed by the intersection OF Con-
necticu: avenue and Columbia road about
where the turn is made in the avenue II

south. and. owing to its elevation mas an
extensive prospect over the city. Inc 'front.'
age on the plaza is seventy feet ana IL ex,
tends on Connecticut avenue 16o 1eet anu
there is the further advantage OF twenty
five-foot parking on that avenue.
The total area of the ground is u,ooo
square feet and the price paid was some
thing in excess of $3.50 per square foot: In
regard to the consideration, MIR. Winner
states that it is the highest price ever paid
for ground north of Florida avenue.
To Improve the Property
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Lothrop to i'm
prove the property by the erection OF a
house which will not only be suitable tor
the fine site which has been acquired, put
will also be adapted to the locality.
The house now standing on the ground is
a frame structure of u cottage type, OF the
Kind which was built in that section When
Dr. Tindall purchased the ground, ABOUT
quarter of a century ago. At that time the
region was IL part of the suburbs OF the
city There was no thought then or the
opening up of Connecticut avenue ana the
main thoroughfare was Columbia road
which was the old country road to ROCK
Creek Church. At the time DIR. Tindall as
ouired the land the prevailing price for
property in that locality was ana ~
cents per foot.
The DEVELOPMENT of the section in the
form that it has taken is one of the strlk-
ing features of the growth of the city. 1t
is now a center of fine houses, as we'll as
of the better type OF apartment houses,
and its original character as a suburban
region has been entirely changed.

The patrons of the Columbia are promised
much merriment next Monday evening in
Augustus Thomas latest play, 1.-The En-
bassy Ball." in which Lawrence D'Orsay
portrays the role of Capt. Hawarden-Kellie.
The playwright has provided Mr.. D'Orsay
with a vehicle that displays his unique per-
sonality in favorable light. The role Of
Capt Hawarden-Kellie is an exaggeration
of a certain type of Englishman with an
accent and drawl, who makes
the most absurd blunders with refreshing
air of Inconsistencies has ludicrous lapses
of memory as to names and places and yet
is honest and brave and not such fool as
he appears to be.
