to see the old year out than assembled at the Shoreham by invitation of Mr. Devine. General and Mrs. Miles, Senator Gordon, Senator and Mrs. Gibson, members of various legations, Hon. C. S. Randall and other members of the lower House were present. Charming women and gallant men made a brilliant scene of the fine ballroom. The supper was excellent and the dancing was prolonged into the morning of '92. The Shoreham never was as popular as now. Mr. Devine knows how to keep a hotel. The result is that everybody wants to stop there and sometimes the corridors look like an annex of New York and the Capital. Among the permanent guests are Senator and Mrs. Gordon, General Batchelder, Representatives Walker, Dixon, Hemphill, Morse and Lockwood, Secretary Halford and daughter, Mr. and Mrs J. B. Montgomery of Portland, Oregon, Mr. and Mrs. Colton, Mrs. Eddy, Mrs. Adee and-but here I must stop. The columns of the WASHINGTON are short. Mrs. N. P.

How the children of Colorado should bless this clever woman! Mr. Michael E. Sadler, Secretary of the Oxford University Extension, who has just arrived in Philadelphia, under an engagement with the American Society for the Extension of University Teaching, is a descendant of Ralph Sadler, Minister to Queen Elizabeth of England, and gaoler of Mary Queen of Scots. The Sadler family have been more or less concerned in public affairs ever since the sixteenth century. Michael Thomas Sadler, the great uncle of the Oxford Secretary, was long a member of Parliament for Newcastle, and was one of the warmest advocates for the limitation of the hours of labor of women and children employed in factories. Mr. Sadler, who has won a wide reputation as the organizer of the Oxford University Extension movement, is but thirty years of age. He is of Huguenot descent, a fact of which he owns that he is proud. He was educated at Rugby School, and was afterward a scholar at TO ALL WINTER RESORTS IN South Georgia, Florida, Cuba, the West Indies, South and Central America and Mexico REACHED BY THE PLANT SYSTEM OF AND STEAMSHIP LINES. RAILWAY In answering advertisements, please mention "Kate Field's Washington." Trinity College, Oxford. He was the first University Extension lecturer under the new Oxford scheme and began his work in his own county of Yorkshire, and in the manufacturing district of Lancashire. It was doubtless his early experience in this district which gave him his keen insight into the needs of the workingmen of England. When the Oxford system of University Extension was revived, Mr. Sadler was appointed Secretary. In 1885 he was made Steward and Student of Christ Church College, and the duties of this position he discharges along with his secretarial duties. He is also President of the Union Debating Society of Oxford, and has been influential in shaping its history. Mr. Sadler is deeply interested in the American movement and gave efficient aid in its organization at Philadelphia by his courtesy to the delegates sent to England to study University Extension there. OLLA. SOUND SENSE ABOUT THE ART TARIFF. K^ Bless her!-Troy (N. Y) ATE FIELD is for free art. Press. "MALIGNANT STUPIDITY" is Kate Field's characterization of the duty on art. The phrase fits.-New York World. KATE FIELD is making a raid on the tariff duty which is levied on fine paintings imported from other countries. Many of these pictures are bought by artists in this country who, as a class, are poor. The tax is especially odious because it is a hindrance to art, but it is natural that a barbarous code like our tariff should instinctively be hostile to all forms of enlightenment.-Lafayette (Ind.) Journal. NOBODY IS BETTER ABLE than Miss Kate Field to prove the utter and disgusting idiocy of the tariff tax on imported works of art; the damage it works to home art and artists; the monstrous injustice of such an impost when levied by a nation seeking a market in art-producing Europe for its own grain and pork; the pigheaded perversity of a tariff laid, not for revenue, but for "protection," on an "industry" which can best be fostered by free and liberal contact with the art of other and more artistic nations, and the shameless philistini-m and demagogy which incites the clamor to tax the "luxuries of the rich." But what can even Miss Kate Field do on the eve of a Presidential election-except to deliver bright, interesting and instructive addresses to select bodies of persons of her own way of thinking? Yet even that is not a little.-Chicago Post. MUCH comment has been made by the daily papers concerning the changing of Jacksonville, Tampa and Port Tampa. the raven tresses of Mme.

Questions usually asked about Wesley Heights, adjoining the grounds of the great American University. Where is it Located?- Northwest Washington, thirty minutes' drive from the White House, and only 500 yards west of Oak View, ex-President Cleveland's former country home, and 100 yards west of Grasslands, ex-Secretary Whitney's former country seat. It is only one-half mile northwest of the U.S. Naval Observatory, costing $2,000,000, and a short distance west of the National and Zoological Parks where Congress has already authorized $4,000,000 to be spent. At its last session Congress appropriated $10,000 for grading Massachu-be sent postpaid upon application to E. S. Babcock, setts Avenue, extended, from Rock Creek to the American University. This avenue within the City is the most beautiful and fashionable thoroughfare of the Capital. How does the Land lie?-It is one of the highest points within the District of Columbia and is very picturesque and romantic. The ground slopes gently from its crest toward the City. No waste ground and no bad lots. What is the size of Lots.-The average size is 25x150 feet, and cost from $375 to $700 per lot; one fifth cash, balance in 2, 3 and 4 years. All taxes are paid to date of deed, which is furnished free of cost. The tax on a single lot will only be a dollar or two.

Every purchaser, therefore, gets a garden spot 15x25 feet for nothing. Buyers of corner lots get parking 15x150 feet. No restriction in deed as to building line. The parking provision renders such unnecessary. beautiful cottages are being erected on the Heights. The construction of a magnificent $25,000 residence is also well under way. Improvements are steadily progressing every clear day. PRESS COMMENTS. Five In the last appropriation bill, there is an item for the grading of Massachusetts avenue, extended, toward the American University. The line of Massachusetts avenue has been laid out on a direct extension of the line now running to Rock Creek. A plat of the same has been made, and the people owning the land through which it extends, will be asked to donate the right of way. This will give a straight avenue from Sheridan Circle through the University grounds, except where it runs through the Observatory grounds. Here it will be put upon a circle, so as to be at least 1000 feet away from the instruments that might be disturbod by traffic along the street. If this meets the views of the parties interested, the $10,000 will be spent in grading on this line.-Washington Evening Star. The picturesque situation, the high character of the surroundings, and the popularity of the drives between Wesley Heights and Washington proper, make it evident that the efforts of Mr. Waggaman and his associates to make the property a high class residence suburb, will meet with pronounced success.-Baltimore Manufactur ers' Record.
