Ho has Hovoral hundred acres In the sub urbs and Is continually Buying more. Ho owns a farm light near Oak Vlow , tha property out cf which Grover Cleveland mmlo $100,000 and has recently bought a largo tract adjdnlng Grasslands , from which William C. Whitney made somewhere be tween $ .riO.OOO and $7f > ,000. His 'real estate holdings lu the city proper must exceed $1,000,000 lu valuu , for ho has almost a whole aquaro between the Arlington hotel and Fif teenth street , the only exception being the Shorelmm hotel , which belongs to Levl V. Morton and which , you will remember , was miulo famous by Us having a bar In It In the days of Ilenjumln Harrison , John Wan- amnliur and Ilaby McKee , It was John Allen of Mississippi who sot the country laughing by referring to It as follows : "Wanny runs the Sunday school , Levl runs tha bar , The baby runs the White House , And hang It , there wo are. " Of course , Vice President Morton had nothing to do with tbo bar. The landlord who ran the house had taken out a license to glvo wluos to his guests at the table , and It was very naughty of Mr. Allen to treat him so. Hut returning to John McLean. He owns , I bollovo , the Normandlo date , and also many valuable resldenco sites as well as business blocks on F street and elsewhere.

These are sam ple creations and worth up to $30.00 , your choice Dlalno mansion. He paid , If I remember correctly , about $55,000 > for this , and It cer tainly must be worth a number of times that today. The dead bodies were removed long ago , and It Is now a number of years slnco Mr. McLean had a fence put around the lot , and a little summer cottage Inside of It whore ho used tp go at times to medltato on the fickleness and folly of politics and humanity. Cameron mansion. I passbd by Don Cameron'e house today on my way to the White House. It Is where Vlco President Hobart Is now living and Is within almost a etono's throw of the pres idential mansion. I don't know what rent the vice prbsldent pays for It , but I venture It is In the nolghborhood of $10,000 a year , for tbe house cost Senator Cameron $67,000 when ho bought It , and he has added enough to it to run the total up somewhere near $100,000 , The house Is tbe old Ogle Taylor mansion , which was one of tbo social cen ters In the days of Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay. It Is said that Aaron Burr has dined In It , and that nearly every prominent man for the last seventy years has been Inside Its walls. At one time It Is related General Wlnfleld Scott waa among the guestd at a dinner held In It. While the meal was In progress n terrific hall storm came up. Some of the hailstones were brought In. Whereupon General Scott took them and dropped them Into his wine , saying : "Gentlemen , let us cool our champagne with celestial Ice. " In these days property wa not worth a great deal In that vicinity , although It was so near the Whlto house. Tbe lot adjoining , upon which the Lafayette theater now stands , belonged at one time to Henry Clay and bo cold It , BO the tradition goes , to Ad miral Rogers for an Andaluslan jackass which tbo admiral hod brought home from the Mediterranean. The animal was taken to Kentucky and placed upon Clay's farm. Admiral Rogers held onto the property for nome time It then passed through different hands and was finally bought by Dlalne not long before his death , at $10 per square foot. When It waa sold to tbe Lafayette Theater company It was at a big advance , the prop erty forming one of Mr. Elaine's most val uable assets. Stewart's Cnntlc. Senator Stewart has recently sold Stew art's Castle , or , as It was once called , "Stew art's Folly , " and has bought a now property on the corner of Eighteenth and F streets , west of the War department and south of the avenue. He built Stewart Castle In 1871 , when the fashionable northwest was a brick yard. Everyone laughed at the Idea of the city moving out to him , but It has done so , and the finest houses of Washington are now to be found there. Letter's big palace Is only a stone's throw away and the Dlalno mansion Is on the next ccrncr. The now house of Senator Stewart has a large amount of ground connected with It. It has , I think , more than half an acre , and It will some day be very valuable. Just opposite It Is the home of Chief Justice Fuller , the old Carroll mansion , for which the chief justice paid $50,000 , and on the opposite cor ner Is tbo tall , lean brick In which Don Platt lived so many years. It Is now occupied as government offices. Only a short distance above Justice Ful. lor'e house Is ono which , has been pur chased by former Secretary Herbert of thb navy. It Is , I think , the ono which he rented while in Cleveland's cabinet. The other homes of the Cleveland administration have largely passed into different hands. Secretary Lament did not buy property while In Washington although he aided the president in making his purchases. Secre tary John G. Carlisle had purchased a home while ho was In the United States senate. It was a three-story brick on the south side of K street , between Fourteenth and Fif teenth streets , not far from the house which once belonged to General Delknap , Mr. Carlisle paid $24,000 for It. He lived in it during the latter part of Us epeakershlp and while he was In the senate and cabinet , but closed it up when he went to Now York , where he Is now practicing law. Since his departure the house has been practically va cant and tbe vines are now growing over the front door. FRANK O. CARPENTER.
