Prom the. New York Sun.
Washington, Nov. 23.—Mrs. Augusta
Patten, the widow of the Cal fomia million
aire and mother-in-law of Representative
Glover, of St. Louis, has just bought s:iO,-
000 worth of real estate from Gardiner Hub
bard. She has now more tlian $300,000 in
vested in Washington property, and has
purchased more than SOO,OOO worth this
year. She has made $30,000 off a piece of
land which she has bought near the Presi
dent’s country home, and the ground on
which her big mansion is located has doubled
in value since she purchased it. Her Wash
ington house cost her nearly SIOO,OOO to
build, and she is one of the few women who
make living in Washington pay. Her in
vestments call attention to those of other
women. Mrs. Gen. Albert Meyer bought
land on Washington Heights a few months
ago which is now worth $20,000 more than
she paid for it, and Mrs. Senator. Sherman
owns a number of lots on Columbia Heights,
She keeps her property separate from the
Senator’s, and Senator Sherman, in speak
ing of it, always refers to it as Mrs. Sher
man’s land. Mrs. Logan’s homo “Calumet
Place,” is worth at least twice what it cost
the General,-and Mrs. Justice Woods has
bought a lot in the same locality. Secreta
ry Kvarts has just rented a house, which is
the property of Mrs. Gen. Hazen, who is,
you know, the sister of John McLean pro
prietor of tho Cincinnati Enquirer.
The McLeans are largely interested in
Washington real estate, and within the past
five years they have bought property here
to tho amount of nearly a million dollars.
John McLean has made at least $300,000
Within the past six years in Washington,
and he made SIOO,OOO out of the cemetery
near the house of Senator Blaine. He paid
about $51,000 for it, and it would bring
$150,000 to-day under the auctioneer’s ham
mer. Washington McLean bought, not
long ago, for $33,000 a piece of property
the ground of which alone is now worth
$75,000, and during the past summer John
McLean has been making strenuous efforts
to buy the colored church facing McPher
son square. He offered $50,000 for it and
it was refused. Washington McLean paid,
about $60,000, a year or so ago, for the
Sickles mansion, where Gen. Sickles was
living when ho shot Philip Barton Key.
Adjoining Gen. Beale’s home is the house
which Congressman Scott, of Pennsylvania,
bought for $50,000 last week. All of these
houses are on Lafayette Square, within a
stone’s throw of the White House, and about
this square now live some of the richest
people in Washington. John Hay’s house,
built on land which cost him $6 a square
foot, is just below that of the millionaire
Corcoran, and opposite the Sickles man
sion, on the other side of the square, is Sen
ator Don-Cameron’s old-fashioned home,the
Tayloe mansion. It is a eream yellow
structure, of the English basement order,
with a wide front door in the centre and a
parlor on the second floor. Cameron paid
$67,000 for it last year.
Don Cameron is one of the largest of the
Senatorial property-owners, and the day
has come when nearly every Senator has his
own home in Washington. Cameron made
at least $45,000 out of the house which he
built on Scott Circle. He has invested
largely in suburban property, and he has a
number of vacant lots within the city. I
don’t think he is interested with Sena - or
Sherman, and the two statesmen, though
related by marriage, paddle their respective
canoes alone in money-making streams.
Senator Sherman has always had faith in
i Washington property, and he says
that during his recollection it has
Increased at the rate of 10 per
(cent, a year right along. The homo
in which he lives faces Franklin Square,
find is worth $50,000. He bought the
ground when the square, which is now one
of the most beautiful parks of the capital,
was a cow pasture, and when tho boys used
it as a ball ground. Through lus. influence
a picket fence was built around it, but the
boys objected and knocked the pickets off.
Senator Sherman is one of a syndicate of
four who several years ago paid $200,000 for
the Stone estate, on the hills above Wash
ington. at the head of Fourteenth street.
This was at the rute of about 4c. a foot.
Mrs. Logan now lives in the old Stone farm
house, which has been remodelled, and the
syndicate has doubled its money ten times
over. Some of the land is worth $1 per
square foot to-day, and none of it less
tlian 35c.
The best speculation of the past summer
has been that of Gardiner Hubbard, the
father-in-law of Telephone Bell. He paid
SOO,OOO for what is now known as Belair
Heights, on tho line of the Massachusetts
avenue extension. It was a tract of hill and
hollow, and Washington, which had seen
nothing of the wonders of modern grading,
w s laughing at him for his folly. Ho put
300 men at work, had an army of carts and
a corps of blasters. He laid out his tract in
lots and he spent SIOO,OOO in improving it.
He has since sold $400,000 worth of lots and
has some property left. His land lies on
this side of Rock creek, and his venture has
been so successful that I understand a big
syndicate owning land on the other side of
the stream will attempt the same thing.
Between Hubbard’s property and the city
lies Kalorama Heights, for which the Bullitt
syndicate of Philadelphia paid $400,000 for
four-fifths of it, on tho basis of $500,000 for
the whole, and this property is to lie put
upon the market at high prices in the
spring.
SOME OF THE SUPREME COURT JUDUKS
have hern investing in Washington real
estate, ami have done fairly well. Judge
Harlan’s house on the Heights cost perhaps
$30,000, and it is built on one of three lots
which ho bought eighteen months ago. He
sold one of these lots for enough to pay for
the two others. Another of his lots went, I
think, to Mrs. Justice Woods. Chief Justice
Waite's home, near the Arlington Hotel, is
worth at least S3O,(XX) more than ho paid for
it, and Stanley Matthews has a house on
Connecticut avenue, next to tho British
1/t‘gatioif, which he values nt SIOO,OOO. Jus
tice Bradley lives on New Jersey avenue,
near the capitol. He is a rich man, but his
property has not increased to so great ail
extent as has that of Matthews. Justice
Fields lives just opposite the capitol plateau,
nnd it is said that he wanted a high price
for his property when it was thought of
putting the Congressional Library upon its
sib'. Justice Gray has bought a lot and in
tends building, anti Justice Blatchforcl lately
bought the house built by Gen. Humphries,
and he could sell it to-day for $ la,ooo more
than he paid for it.
Sunset Cox made $30,000 by the sale of
his Washington homo just before he left for
Turkey, lio sold for SOO,OOO cash what ho
bought for $30,000 on time. He is now
building another house, which ho will be
ready to sell at a similar advance. Presi
dent Cleveland has made $30,000 in the in
crease of tho value of the laud npon which
liis country horn is located, and Secretary
Whitney, lam told, cleared $90,000 in his
sale at “Grasslands.”
In the meantime, the news of these profits
has created a sort of real estate craze in
Washington. SSuburbnn property has been
)iold at figures extravagantly high, and tho i
surrounding villages have had their real es
tate booms. Just now there arc decided in
dications of a drop in the market, and j
whether Washington is to have a real estate |
Panic similar to some ot those of our Wes- |
tern cities during the past summer remains
to be seen. Frank G. Carpenter.

IS NOT FURNISHED
Hi a Pirn
Nothing completes the furnishing of a
house so well.
No present you could make your
family would bo more acceptable or
give them so much enjoyment and
benefit.
If you bad begun paying $lO per
month on a Piano two or three years
ago you would now have it paid for.
If you don’t begin soon old age may
overtake you, and you will go through
life with an unfurnished and cheerless
home.
Why delay?
Pianos are cheap, very cheap. Never
so good for the money. Less than one
half their cost formerly.
And the terms are so wonderfully
easy. Only a few Loilars paid monthly
will secure one.
Start in and it will be yours and paid
for before you know it.
We can suit you in quality and prices. Just
one look at our Warerooms will satisfy you on
that point and that we lead in Best Instruments
and Lowest Prices. Better Pianos for the
money are simply not to be had. Call and we
will convince you of this fact.
