Washington also owned four lots on the Aiuieostia, three blocks from the navy yard, which he thought worth twelve cents a foot in 1799. Jt may lie worth a quarter of that now, although a boom has begun in that section since a cable road has been talked of to connect it with tile city by rapid transit. Washington also owned some residence property in Alexan dria, then part ol a the district, on Pitt, and Prince streets. For this he liad refused *.3500 .just before his death. Some of it he leased perpetually at *3 a foot. lien. Washington estimated his wealth at *500,000, most of it being real estate. Jle was doubtless worth much more than that, and judges of real estate say it is no exag geration to eall him a millionaire. The Hit. Vernon farms made a tract with ten miles of water front and five miles deep inland. He owned 15,046 acres in Virginia, 13,411 on the Great Kanawha, 1119 in Alary- land, 3151 in Ohio, then the Northwest territory; 1000 on the Mohawk in New Vork, and 5000 in Kentucky. Had the es tate he left been kept together and man aged with hi* excellent business sense, his representative would to-day have been a cinti-millionaire. John Ouiney Adams was tlie second president to buy land in Washington, lie bought the house on F street in which he lived alter he was president on the 14th of August, 1823, paying Richard Smith, the cashier of the United States bank, *20,000 for the bouse and lot. The purchase money was not cash down by any means, and the debt on the property liung along for sev eral years before it was paid. During the past year Caleb Willard,1 he present owner, has hud the Adams house and the adjoin ing building remodeled into an olllce building. It is in the heart of the city, just across F street from the Ebbiil house, in a locality where rents are high and ten ants legion. Franklin Pierce owned considerable property in Washington at onetime. it was on Sixteenth street, and consisted of vacant lot.-: m a section that promised very titlie toward becoming the section of Yash in now is.

The Jot was iifey-two and a half feet frontage on 1 street and thirty on Thirteenth street, and contains 1575 square feet, worth then, with the house on tne site, about $2 afoot, and perhaps a third more than that now. The neighoorhood is tar from fashionable, and contains small, plain houses occupied by the clerk and snop class ol' people, t ji the hill across the park is a section on K street as 'aristocratic and fashionable as any in the city. Here lives Garfield's Wiles Ktandisli—John Sherman, of Ohio. Mr. Cleveland is only following the ex ample of scores of ante-bellum residents of Washington. The suburbs of tlie city are studded with old country seats bearing more or less romantic names, and showing still in their poorly preserved state the open-hearted liberality with which their owners adorned life in those days. For years these places have gone a begging in the real estate market, out of late, with Secretary Whitney's purchase on tlie iiidge toad, a demand has sprung up for them. A GUN WITH A HISTORY.
