Inside the limits it has been neces-

quirement, has not been ascertained

TWO PRIVATE HOMES
WILL COST $4,000
Candee and Wyeth Resi-
denceS Most Expensive
Built This Year.

Two of the most expensive private
residences which have Deer. constructed
IN Washington this year, and which
have just been completed, are those Of
Helen c. Candee, located at 1I49 Six
teenth street, and of Mrs. Sarah S
Wyeth, located at 2305 Massachusetts,
avenue.
The value of the former building is
placed approximately at $4,000, while
the Wyeth residence is said to have
been constructed at "a cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. Both were designed
by Architect Nathan c. Wyeth.
An unusual feature connected with
them is that two other residences. de-
signed by Architect Wyeth, and being
still more costly, are being constructed
on ground adjoining them. Mrs. George
PuIlman's home, which is to cost in the
neigh borhOOd Of $3.50, OO0 and which is
now One-third completed, is near the
Candee residence. The residence of
Gibson Fahnestock, which is TO cost in
the neighborhod Of $100J01 and is about
one-half completed, adjolns the Wyeth
property.
Louis XVI Style.
Mrs. Wyeth's home is decidedly Louis
XVI in architectural design. The first
floor is the main floor. possessing a
large hall. A dining room and drawing
room are on one side of the hall, while
a breakfast room and library are on the
other On the second floor there Us
gallery around the hall There are
three bedrooms, a sewing rooms and an
ellipLical bOudOir on the second floor
On the third floor there are two other
bedrooms, in addition 10 spacious SER
wants quarters.
The Fahnestock house, while of a
decidedly different design, viii preserve
the French-AmeTican lines Of the
Wyeth home. Both residences were
studied together at the time Architect
Wyeth was preparing his plans.
The interior of the Fahncstock home
viii be constructed of the same class Of
stone used in its exterior. There VIII
also be a stone staircase. The treat
ment of the interior viii be both elab-
crate and exhaustive.
Striking Feature.
Stucco construction is the striking
feature of the Candee nome. This
building contains six bedrooms, in adj
dition 10 a dining room. two reception
rooms. a library and smaller rooms.
The dining room is MADE attractive by
an immense bay window. The orna-
mental treatment Of the interior is in
cast cement.
with its construction one-third COM
pleted, the Pullman residence has the
appearance of being a small hotel in
process of building. It's cOmpactness
tends to give this impression. In add
ton, an unusual amount of steel-nearly
100 tons Of steel-is being used IN its
construction.
The Pullman residence will be four
stories high, the same as the Candee
residence. It's style viii be more Amer
lean than French. 1t viii be construct
ed of stone and gray brick and VIII be
given a highly ornamental interior
treatment.
The Fahnestock and Pullman resi-
dences are not expected to be COM
pleted before next summer.

Opportunities for Investment
Demonstrated by Re
cent Deals.
MONTH WILL HOLD
RECORD FOR YEAR
Property in Every Section of the
City Active and in
Demand.

That money is plentiful and that the
real estate field is looked upon as being
the most prolific of any business field
IN the opportunities afforded for making
safe investments has been pretty well
demonstrated this week through auction
sales.
So much real estate has been bought
and sold during the past few days by
auction that dealers claim the present
month will be the best of the year from
this standpoint.
And the best of it is" remarked a
member OF wen-known auction firm.
practically all the business has been
the outgrowth Of the settlement Of es-
tates rather than of foreclosures. That,
coupled with the fact that the sales are
well attended. and the bidding is spirit
ed. goes 10 prove that the local real
estate market is in about as good shape
as one could wish to have it"
As Investments.
1t is not to be wondered at that auc-
ton sales are making a record for at
tendance this month. Generally speak
ing. records indicate that the recent
sales OF property AT auction have been
made upon an 8 per cent investment
showing. Not a few sales have indi-
Gated as high as 10 per cent, but per
cent has been shown TO be conserVa-
tive average.
From all indications. auctions will es-
tablish three recon DIS for the year this
month One viii be a maximum record
for the amount of property put on the
market through the settlement of es-
tates; another viii be a minimum record
for property sold as a result of fore
closures While the third viii be a record
for heavy attendance.
There is a probability Of still another
record being established in the number
transactions the property bought has
been paid for entirely in cash, with more
recent deals indicating a growing ten
deney in this direction.
Small Buyers.
IN the settlement OF estates the major
ity of the property placed on the market
at auction consists OF small dwellings
located IL practically every section Of
the city It is the small investment
that the average buyer who attends auc-
tons is looking for. The fact that most
OF the property put up at auction comes
within this class accounts for the large
number OF cash payments being made.
With auction sales keeping Face with
the sales made IN the regular manner
through real estate Offices there is no
property ia any section OF Washington
that is not active and in demand. Not
only in the auction line, but IN every
other division OF the real estate market
activity has recorded a decided Increase
this month.
With another month remaining in
which il is expected a great volume Of
business will be transacted, indica tons
are that the year will close the most
remarkable twelve months ever expert
enced in the Capitals real estate mar
ket.

osteopathic Catechism.
tFrom osteopatnic Health.l

tFrom Osteopathic Healthy
WHAT DISEASES DO oSTEoPATHs
TREAT?
@. What diseases do osteopaths
have most success in curing?
A. 1t would require 4 full page
of fine type to enumerats the va
rious diseases that have been
proven amenable to osteopathic
treatment and in which we score
gratifying percentages of cures or
else greatly benefit. In brief, de-
formities and chronic dislocations,
nervous, blood, glandular and
digestive disorders, neuralgias and
rheumatism, fevers, sex ills, in
somnia, mind diseases and even
insanity itself have all yielded to
osteopathic principles of cure; so
you will appreciate that our prac-
tice includes both acute and chron-
ic, structural and organic diseases,
medical and surgical cases. 1t is
very .unwise to put limits pre-
sumptuously upon what osteopa-
thy probably can or cannot cure.
None can form reliable opinion
on this point but an ~osteopathic
physician. No practitioner of any
other school can judge for US. If
you are interested in learning
what hope of cure or benefit this
treatment offers for any particular
disease, put your credence only in
the judgment of an accredited
osteopathic physician who is a
graduate from one of the recog-
nized colleges of osteopathy.
@. Will osteopathy cure every
thing?
A. No.
Q. Has it ever made the claim
that it is "cure all?"
A. Never. 1t is content with
being able to treat many and
diverse ills successfully, and,
among these, many of the SO called
"incurable" cases abandoned as
hopeless by other schools of medi-
cine.
@. Is osteopathy rough, pain
full treatment-unsuited for weak
persons and invalids?
A. No. That is a SANDER
sometimes circulated by those
prejudiced against the new system.
1t is a cure for invalids, not
athletes, and is adapted to the
needs of the delicate infant and the
aged just as we'll as for robust
adulthood.
Even "colicy" infants are treated
osteopathically, This fact lis sig
nifcant for it is automatic in "old
school" medical practice that
"infants under one year of age are
not to be treated by drugs except
at the risk of doing their delicate
little bodies much damage. Nor
do infants respond to drug reac-
tions in the same way as adults.
Osteopathy by contrast, being
entirely natural, is safe treatment
for the babe in arms and likewise
for very old people. 1t does much
to help the aged enjoy life and re-
tain their vigor and faculties.

pretty cheap, isn't it?
Agent-Where's your place of

Second Grocer-H -Hammondsport,

Agent-That'll be S4.60-a 325-

You sold this man a barrel for $3.50

which is 50 hundred under the

Second Grocer-And that's what
the tariff does, is it? I see.
That is exactly what the tariff
does. And it is further pointed
out that, while the sugar tariff is
equal to so per cent, and the ar
ticle is daily necessity in every
household in the country, whether
poor or rich, the tariff on the furs
of the rich is but 35 per cent, on
their expensive hats so per cent,
their paintings and statuary 20 per
cent, their automobiles As per

cent. Yes, it is the same tariff,

uFAcTuRERs WANT PAYNE
. LAW TRIED OUT.

New York, Nov. 10.-The country
should let well enough alone as re-
CARDS the tariff, says the National As
sociation Of Manufacturers in state
ment issued yesterday, discrediting
certain announcements that have been
sent out of late indicating that the as
sociation was keeping up agitation on
the subject.
Some one has been Issuing circu-
lars in our name" says the statement,
stating that we are planning a cru
sade of agitation for further tariff re
vision This is untrue. We feel that
the tariff question has been disposed
of by congress and that any attempt
to revive the subject will hamper busi-
ness and retard the return Of prosper
ity..
Our reports from all parts of the
country indicates a healthy and de-
cided increase in business, there is
every proof that we are at the begin
ming of an extended period of nation
al prosperity. The continuance of this
business boom is of vital Importance
to employer and wage Garner alike.
"The country has had enough of
tariff agitation for the present and the
people at large insist that the tariff
act be given a fair trial before inaug-
urating any further agitation"
