OLD BUILDING REMoDELED.
Early Structure on Pennsylvania
Avenue Has Been Modernized.

One of the Oldest buildings in the city.
one Of the row on the north side of Penn
sylvania avenue between 10Th and Goth
streets. 1909 Pennsylvania avenue, has re-
Gently taken a new lease on life. It has
been remodeled under the direction of f
S. Wescott. real estate broker, who has
an office in the adjoining building. and
who sold the property to the present own
err, James Sharp.
Acting under the advice OF Mr.. Wes-
colt, the building has been thoroughly
overhauled and modernized, and the base
nlent and first floor fitted up for use as
offices. while the two upper floors are ar
ranged as apartments. Including the cost
of the improvements, the building repre-
SCENTS an outlay to the present owner OF
$4,000. and Mr.. Wescott states the rev.
enue derived will yield a good return OF
the money.
Mr.. Wescott, who is familiar with that
section of the city, finds that recently
quite p change has taken place in the
market prospects and uses of property,
owing, he thinks, to the growth of the
population Of the city and the expansion
of the business section. He finds that at
tention has been called to this section
west Of 18th street and along Pennsyl-
vania avenue because Of its convenience
to the center of the city and the filling
up of the building sites. which have been
unimproved owing mainly to conditions
in the locality which no longer exist.

Empress Of Abyssinia.
From the Westminster Gazette.

Menelik's wife. the Empress Of Abys-
sinia, who is reported to be a prisoner in
the hands OF those favoring the imme-
date succession of the heir apparent, Is
lady who was once a great beauty and
who had four previous husbands before
she became the wife Of Menelik. Her
first husband was one of King Theo-

her third was killed by King John, her
fourth was. as 1t has been euphemist.cal-

time ago, and now the north side. front
ing on Rhode Island avenue. Is being
similarly improved. The sweep OF Rhode
Island avenue to the east stops at Lin
coin avenue, but during the coming sea-
son 1t is expected the thoroughfare will
be opened through to 4th street east.
Rhode Island avenue that now extends to
the District line.
There is also some recent building to
be seen along North Capitol street about
where it runs into Michigan avenue. the
latter forming the southern boundary of
the grounds of the Soldiers Home and
continues on to the east to Brookland.
Last year Francis A. Blundon built some
| houses at the corner and extended them
on both thoroughfares. and now the
course of the row of buildings is being
continued to the south on North Capt.
| tol street. Many of the houses on both
streets are now occupied by. the new
owners. while there are still some OH
Michigan avenue which are being Of
fered by Willige. Gibbs & DHiel.
1t is quite evident from the grading
that has been done to the east Of the
Michigan avenue houses and carried quite
up to the line of the grounds about the
Trinity College property that it is the in
tenHon to fill up these additional build
ing sites with homes and also the lots
fronting on the streets extending east
have been recently opened.
Few Building Sites Left.
With the grounds of the Soldiers Home
bordering this street and those of the
Catholic University and of the group Of
educational institutions about it. it may
be said that the section along the trolley
line to the center of the city that ex-
| tends east along Michigan avenue, prac-
tically all the way to the tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio, is out of the marker
for building sites. But just beyond lies
Brookland, with it's concrete walks and
comfortable homes in the midst of lawns
shaded by trees and frightened with
flowers.
1t is already now a place of good sized
population, and it Is to be brought more
directly still in contact with the main
center, for instead of the trolley line
stopping on the side of the steam rail-
road tracks on Michigan avenue, it is to
leave that thorOughfare some distance
to the west of its present terminus. and
pass along Monroe street and across the
concrete bridge that now spans the street
railway tracks, and thence north along
18th street to the Bunker Hill road, and
so on out to the District line.
Brookland Is to have a street railway
when this extension is completed, and the
necessary authority to do the work was
secured at the present session Of Con-
greSs.

Conflicting Influences.

there. Under his leadership. several years
ago, q petition signed very largely was
addressed 20 the Italian government. ask
ing its Intervention and the annexation
of Albania to Italy. This idea was sug-
gested and encouraged by the knowledge
that Signor Crispi, then prime minister
Of Italy, is of Albanian descent after two
generations; also because Albania has a
considerable Roman Catholic population

Albanians Deeply Stirred.
A gentleman. who has spent the last
year in Albania, gives the following &C
count of the situation:
That the AlbanIans are deeply and
profoundly stirred against the govern
ment there can be no doubt. They dis
trust the governments motives and dis
approve strongly the governments conduct
of local affairs. | think that not enc in
a hundred of the thinking men of Albania
feel that the present government has the
welfare of the Albanian people sincerely
at heart, but rather regard them with
suspicion and distrust, and above all,
fear. The recent disturbances in
Prishtine and Ishkup and elsewhere have
been charged to either purely local causes
or reactionary tendencies-an unwilling
ness on the part of the people to be-
come moderniZed and made an integral
part of the empire. desiring rather the
freer, semi-feudal life under which they
lived during the old regime, similar to
whose gun was his constant companion
and whose wife was his servant. laborer
and drudge, doing all the heavy work.
while there, perhaps, is enough OF an
element of truth in this to give it plausi-
bility. it is yet far from the whole truth.
The Albanian is not an American savage
in any sense. He has no delight in blood
shed. plumber and ravage for its own
sake II he kills it is for a principle.
The ancient blood feud has had, and still
has, q tremendous hold on these people.
There are insults which can only be hon
onably atoned for by death. One OF my
servants. for a slight offenee against the
law, committed while protecting my
children on the street from insult and
violence, was brought before the 'heay-
met and the police commissioner. The
latter. in his judicial capacity, fnsulted
him by using slanderous epithets against
his mother. The boy told US afterward,
n the most matter Of fact way. that 1t
was an insult which no self-respecting
Albanian would stand. and that he would
have to Kill him. That he himself would
have to die for the crime did not concern
him fer moment. Through his bee
tashi' friends this was averted. and a

Dle.
