LANDMARK TRANSFORMED.
Building at 9TH and X Streets Given
Modern Adornment.

One of the landmarks in the vicinity of
Mount Vernon Square was the building
at the northwest corner of eth and K
streets. Here for years-so many that
the memory of a good many old resi-
dents runs not to the contrary-the late
Mr. Spignul kept a grocery store. 1t
was there when some people who are now
staid citizens were young, and il con-
tinued TO be there until a few weeks ago,
other use.
Mr.. Spignul was no more and the
grocery was to be closed, and SO the
builder, III. J. <Beiber, was commissioned
by the family to change and modernize
the old structure. This has been done
so that now the old front stands out shin
Ing and respondent in plate glass and
new paint. and would not be recognized
as landmark, although the original
structure still stands. 1t is now going to
be the place of business of Henry s..
Adler.

Living Two Weeks on a Wire.
m the Wide World Magazine.

From the Wide World Magazine
India is blessed-or perhaps cursed
with the largest congregation of itinerant
beggars Of any country in the world.
These mendicants. or ascetics, as they are
usually called, are in a sense religious
fanatics, who inflict bodily fortunes on
themselves with the dual idea of per-
forming certain religious functions and
also Of calling attention to themselves
with the view of receiving aims from
curious and devout passersby.
A man will remain suspended on a thin
taut wire, supported by two bamboo
poles, for lengthy periods, often a fort

spread the mat upon which he receives

decorative details will be Gothic. such as
is seen in the chateaus OF France.
The main entrances, of which there
will be two. one from each street, will
be on a level with the street, and there
will be four stories. the upper one being
in the high roof with dormer windows
which are characteristic OF the style of
architecture. The decoration about the
window openings, and especially in the
central portion of the principal front, will
be restrained that the overlooking of
ornament, so common in this style, will
be avoided.

Operating an Aeroplane.
ON Country Life in America.

Operating an aeroplane is easier than
riding a bicycle or steering an automo-
bile. In driving on the road your atten-
ton Is required constantly to be fixed
upon the paths or ruts In which the ve-
hicle must be guided, for the slightest in
attention would cause serious trouble
Guiding an aeroplane is like riding a BIZ
cycle In the center Of an immense as
phalt plaza where the surface is perfectly
smooth and uniform, and where you can
go in every direction equally well without
serious attention as to where you must
steer. In the air all is Free and the
movements become SO unconscious that
the aviators mind sometimes wanders of
until he almost forgets that he is in an
aeroplane. One can look down on the
ground and notice various things, but IL
is very hard to tell how high you may
be flying or the exact angle OF flight OF
the machine. or it's speed.

1t is seldom that a physician sue
ceeds in proving his theories by not
dying before reaching the great age
of nnety-one. This feat is the more re-
markable when his theories are opposed
to all commonly accepted ideas.
DR.. George S. Keith. who has lust

ninety-one, was known as the starving

almost complete abandonment of medi-

Not long ago a Toledo clergyman
was called upon TO conduct the serv-

whom he had no acquaintance. So,

touching the deceased's character.
when he was shown into the living

Origin Of Matinees.
From the Strard Magazine

Mr.. j. n. Maskelyne believes he is cor
rect in stating that he was the first Lon
don entertainer to give performances
twice daily. Frequently he was able to
advertise: THE only entertainment in
London this afternoon The late Sir
Henry Irving, who by the way, few peo-
pie are probably aware, was something
of conjurer himself, was at the time
very much interested in magic. and fire.
quentiy went to see Mr.. Maskelyne at
the Egyptian Hall. "You seem to get
very good audiences he said at the end
of one afternoons performance. Yes.
Mr.. Maskelyne replied Ion the whole l
think we do decidedly better in the after
noon than in the evening" Whether or
not these casual words gave birth to the
idea Mr. Maskelyre cannot say, but
shortly afterward Henry Irving started
giving regular matinees himself.

The usual spring movement in business
property is under way. Already several
transactions of consequence have been
closed or practically 80.
There are reasons, based upon the de-
velopment of the city, for increase In the
volume of this business. The prospect OF
all property on the south side of Penn
sylvania avenue between the Capitol and
18th street being ultimately acquired for
public uses is leading cause.
Such a policy would result in reducing
the area available for business purposes
ip the principal center of the city. While
this would he balanced to some extent
by the broadening out of that area to
the north and the west, still the general
effect would be to enhance values In the
heart of the business section.
There is no doubt about the expansion
Of the business area. That is seen In
the changes made in property along Con-
necticut avenue north OF NJ street, along
III street and on New York avenue west
of 9th street Former residences are be-
ing adapted for commercial uses.
Two F Street Deals.
Transactions recently announced are in
property located in the center of the bust
ness section. The property at the north

included another piece of property, is es-
timated at about $225. COO.
The lot is 4sx105.9 feet with an ell 97.3
feet in depth. so that the total area is
67s5 square feet. The rate per square
foot therefore was about $33. In such a

RAMSEYS TRIP
To GLENWOOD

NJ. c. Ramsey yesterday made a
flying trip to Glenwood Springs.
making the trip from $50 in the
morning until $40 o'clock last night,
stopping an hour for dinner and an
hour to escape a storm at Rifle.
Mr.. Ramsey drove DR.. Cross fam
lily in DR.. Cross Z. NJ. F. 80 auto,
which Mr. Ramsey sold him, demon
strating beyond any doubt whatever
the great capacity of the E. NJ. F. 80
to do great road work when called
upon to do so.
A trip to GlenwOod Springs is no
small undertaking when you consid-
er the roads that have to be used /:
but Mr.. Ramsey said that he got in
to Glenwood Springs without mis-
hap or bauble of any kind whatever.
There We're four persons in the
auto besides Mr.. Ramsey good,
strong load for even first-class roads
He says that the worst piece OF
road he encountered was near De
Beque; after that it was plain sail
ing.
The f. NJ. F. used was DIR. Cross
4-cylinder car, and 1t responded to
every demand made upon it by Mr.
Ramsey. He is feeling fine over the
dNllOHs Ol lue car IN SuCn q cross
country run. and he believes that the
car would do almost anything called
upon for an auto to do.
The day was hot and some of the
roads were little dusty. So, taking
it as whole, it was a remarkable
run.
J. d. Porter. the general agent of
the f. NJ. F. and Flanders in this
state will be in the city Monday to
meet Mr.. Ramsey; and the latter feels
that he can hand up to Mr. Porter a
record for car run that will be
worth while repeating by him
Mr.. Ramsey has made many great
runs in his autos, and he says that,
with the roads in good condition, he
can make the run from here to Glen
wood Springs in eight hours. Run
