grading the streets and sidewalks in
this new subdivision has been completed.
Already q large force Of men and teams
are at work there, and these will be
augmented by steam appliances this
week.
Sixteenth Street Heights has been laid
out from the magnificent estate Of the
late governor Of the District OF Columbia,
Alexander Shepherd, and the tract, which
comprises 217 acres. will soon present the
appearance of q finished subdivision.
Floral street is now being opened from
Georgia avenue to Sixteenth street, and
when this is finished Alaska avenue will
be graded, sewer and water mains laid,
and the street macadamized. granolithic
sidewalks, &C. IN fact. all the streets
in the subdivision will be macadamized
and wide granolithic sidewalks laid. Also
shade trees will be planted on all the
streets, which will add to the natural
beauty of the lots in the subdivision.
The roadbeds in Sixteenth Street
Heights are being graded to a width of
from fifty to seventy feet, making the
streets from 80 to 160 feet wide from
building line to building line. The aver
age roadbeds in subdivisions in the Dis
trict are graded thirty to thirty-three
feet wide. In addition to these wide
streets the lots. which are from so to
leo feet wide. have been SO laid of

OF COUNT LEO TOLSTOY
Writer Describes Peculiarities of Russian Patriarch

and the World.

ruin like the LATEST Irish squire because
he disapproved Of property as an insti-
tuition And he was neither honest nor
respectable in his follies. He connived
all sorts OF evasions. He would not take
money on a journey; but he would take
companion who would buy railway
tickets and pay hotel bills behind his
back He would not own property or
copyrights; but he would make them over
to his wife and children, and live In
their country house in Yasnaya and their
town house in Moscow very comfortably,
only occasionally easing his conscience
by making things as difficult and un-
pleasant for them as possible.
I'm the ordinary affairs Of life he
shirked every uncongenial responsibility
while availing himself OF every luxury
he really cared for. And he rallied at his
wife. and family for enabling him to do
1t, treating his wife as ethically inferior
because she insisted on saving the family
from ruin. until at last she gave him up
as impossible, and managed for him with
out saying anything harsher. than her
Russian formula, Nothing matters 80
long as the baby is not crying"
In another passage Shaw says that
Tolstoy's discomfort with his environment
once took an aspect Of inhuman callous-
ness, as it led him to leave home and
keep his wife for hours In the greatest
anxiety at q time when the most ordinary
considerateness would have led him to
save her all possible excitement

Two alternatives are possible. The
court will either throw out the case be-
cause 1t will be impossible for 1t to clear
UP the matter, or Pater Bricarelli may
be found guilty. because, according 10
the teachings of the Jesuits, every priest
