A place of considerable interest jnst now toreiki estate men i* the new *chool building inArthur place, near the District building. Herenujr be found the books showing the newly-assessed value of property. The work of theassessor*. who have been inspecting the realproperty of the city since the second Mondayof March, is found here, neatly tabulated, inbook* convenient for consultation. 1 he re.il-eatate men. for themselves and their clients,hare been bneily engnged in getting out list* ofthe new assessments and comparing them withthe last assessments. The assessors' books haveonly been accessible during the past week, andonly a few of the large owner* of property oragents of large interests have so far succeededin ascertaining what the new assessments are.It ie therefore not possible, as yet. to reachany conclusion ae to the general character ofthe work of the assessors. One of the leadingreal-estate sgents in the city told a Starreporter that he had procured a list oftne property standing in his own name withthe new assessed value. He found that in com¬paring these values with the assessed value ofthree vears ago that there had been an in¬crease'of from *) to 26 cents on the square foot.Nearly all of his property is located in thenorthwest section, and he said that if the sameratio of increase was maint tined in the assess¬ment of the entire District that the revenuesv ould be greater than the need* of the citydemanded.
. ... I hope," he added, '"that the footing up of
the totals will not show any such increase. Forseveral rears past all the revenue rai sed bytaxation in the District has not been expended,i here is now uearlr a million of dollars of theluonev of the District in the U.8. treasury. Therevenue* of the citv have now reached a sumwhich, with the tlfty per cent contributed bythe government, is considered by CongressiQore than ample to meet all the proper ex¬penditures. If our revenues continue to in¬crease largely Congress may conclude that itl- no longer necessary for the government topay iU share of the expenses of the District,and the entire burden may ag.iin be thrownnpon the shoulders of the people. For thisreason, as well a* because it is wrong to laiseby taxation more than is needed/or public use,1'believe that the tendency ought to be to keeptaxes down rather than the reverse."
WHAT THR ASSESSOR SAYS.Assessor Williams told a Stab reporter that
he had been nnable to estimate the result ofthe receut assessment. Changes, he said, wereliable to be made, as the board would remainin session until the 5th of August. From w hathe knew of the work of the assessors he thoughtthat there would be an inc-ease. He was ofthe opinion that the increase would not be asUrge as many imagined.
-It should be borne in mind." he continued,"that during the past year the value of thea« w buildings erected and improvements made\o < Id buildings, as reported by the building m-ipector. is about *7.000.000. All these im¬provements have b* en assessed, in addition tothe property already taxed. The value ofproperty assessed three years ago was over« HKS.OOW.OOO. In the year 1>«S this amount wasincreased bv the addition of new building* toneariv tllJ.fOO.OOQ, aud tor die year las'J it wasover fll5.000.000. Naturally the new assess¬ment will show an increase, bat from what Ikuow of the methods of the assessors, and fromwhat citizens have told me who have comparedthe new assessment with the one made threeyears ago. I am of the opinion that the in-i-ren-e is not excessive aud will not be so con-sidered. For instance, such nieii as Mr. Ed- jward Temple and Mr. John E. Herre11 ex-pressed their entire satisfaction with the newassessment as far as their own property isconcerned. The books of the assessors haveouly been open duriugthe past week for publiciuriiection. and so far comparatively few com¬plaint* have been received alleging unreason¬able charges."
Mr. Williams said that the assessors werecompelled to assess upon what ther consideredto be "The true value of property. ' This term'..as generally construed to mean what propertywould bring at a forced sale. The assessors,he said, were under oath and bond to faith¬fully perform their dutv, and they could not.a. pleasure, increase or decrease property valuesexcept upon the basis above mentioned. Mr.Wdliams said he thought that while the assess¬ments would show in many instances an in¬crease m the valuation of land, he thoughtthai tht practice bad been generally followedof rating improvements at a decreased valua¬tion. which was generally acknowledged to beright and Jnst

On Thursday next a notable erent hi the his¬tory of the venerable 8i Paul a Bock Creekpariah will be commemorated. Fifty year* agoRev. Dr. Thick, the rector, was consecrated apriest in the Episcopal church. He had Justgraduated from the Episcopal theological sem¬inary in Alexandrlr., nnd among the member*of his class the following survive: Bishop Wil->u< r of Alabama, Rev. Dr. Nelson. the dean ofthe Washington convocation, Bev. T. W.Leaveil of West Virginia, and Bev. Dr. Scott.With the exception of the first named, all willbe present to take p»rt in the exercises whichcommemorate tho golden Jubilee of Bev. Dr.Buck. The clergy of the District and a largenumber of the older church people have beeninvited to be prevent. There will be religionsservices iittlie morning with the celebration ofcommunion. Rev. Dr. Kelson will deliver ahistorical sermon and at the close of the scrviccsa reception will be held in the rectory.
du. buck's cabeeb.Rev. Dr. Buck has spent all but thirteen years
of his pastoral life as rector of St. Paul, and inpoint of service he is the oldest minister in theDistrict. His pastorate extends over a periodot thirty-seven years, and during that time hehas witnessed many changes in the churches aswell as in the families in this city. His lifework is identified with the parish, whose his¬tory goes back for nearly a ceutnrv and three-quarters, antedating for a long period the or¬gs nixation of any church in this part of thecountry now in existence. In fact 8t. Paul isone of the pioneer church organizations in thispart of the country.
as iNTEBEB-rnvo HnrroBY.From the rare historical researches made by
Rev. Dr. Bock some interesting facts havebeen obtained in regard to the old church.What is now known as St. Paul's Rock Creekparish was once the parish church of PrinceGeorge's parish, which included all the terri¬tory between the Potomac "and the Patuxentrivers and the northeast fork of the EasternBranch and extending indefinitely west. Thiswas many years before Montgomery countywas formed or the District of Columbia thoughtof. On September 18. 1719. Rev. JohnFrazier.rector of St. John's parish. Prince George'scountv, Md., called a meeting ol the inhabit¬ants for the purpose of raising funds to builda chapel in the Eastern Branch and Rock CreekHundred. A number of donations werereceived, but the largest was the giftof Johu Bradford Gent of Prince George'scounty. Md., who gave 1,000 pounds oftobacco and 100 acres of land. The gift was, ofcourse, accepted, and the land is that which to¬day constitutes what is known as the glebe ofthe Bock Creek parish. About one-half hasbeen laid off for the Rock Creek cemetery, andthere the old church stands. There have beentwo church buildings. The first one was builtof wood, and services were held there by Rev.John Frazicr, the rector of St. John's parish.Maryland, who officiated in this region as earlyas 1710. It remuined a c) La pel but a few years,when, in 1726, it was designated asthe parish church of Prii.ce Georgeparish, Prince George's county, Md. 81John's parish was one of the original thirtyp:irishes into which the province of Marylandwas divided. Prince George parish covered alarge extent of territory and in a few years achapel was built near Rockville, some 12 milesfrom the parish church. In the course of timesome twenty parishes have been carved out ofits territory, leaving the old parish churchwith about 6 square miles. As it had beenknown popularly for some time as the RockCreek parish instead of by the proper name,l'rince George parish, {hat name was takenwhen its metes and bounds were defined in1866.
THE SECOND CH0BCH BtJItDIMO.The original church building remained stand¬
ing for some fifty years and then bccame use¬less through decay. The order for buildingthe second church building whs passed in 1768and it was still unfinished at the breaking outof the revolutionary war in 1776. The wallsthen built are still standing. They are builtof brick brought from England and are twenty-two inches thick. The building was 40x60 feeti.nd the ceiliug was 26 feet high. It remainedtor many years without a roof and for manymore without either floor or ceiling. In 1820the vestry tfiought thechnrch building was toolarge for the accommodation of the surround¬ing population and it was concluded beat tobuild
AN INSIDE CHCRCH.Availing themselves of a ledge in the walls
twelve feet from the floor, left for a gallery,girders some forty feet long were procuredand stretched across and then lathed and plas-ti red. From the west end twenty feet was oatoff for a lecture and school room. Thusthey had within the old walls two rooms, one40x40 and one 40x20. In 1840 another changewas made by removing this temporary ceilingand building a gallery in the west end, whereau organ was located. Originally there werethree doors to the building, one on the southfront and two on the west. There were onlytwo aisles in the church and no robing-rooinfor the clergy. The vestry, however, decidedto enlarge the church by adding a chancel, or-gaa and vestry room 011 the north side. Thewest doors were also closed. The two rangesof windows were made into one and filled withstauied glass, new pews were put in, and the in¬terior as well as exterior beautified andadorned, as those who visit the old church to¬day may see.
THE LIST OE HECTORS.The first rector was Rev. George Murdock,
who was commissioned by George Calvart, thegovernor of Maryland, to take charge of theparish upon the recommendation of the lordLjshop of London. The ve«try Jnnuarr 10,l«27, invested Mr. Murdock as rector and hese rved in that capacity for thirtv-four years.The next rector was Rcr. Alexander William¬son. who was sent to the parish by the governorof Maryland, remained as rector tor fourteenyears. He was followed by He v. Thomas Reed,in 1776. whose pastorate continued for thirty-eight years. The time covered by the threefirst rectorships was eighty-six years. Duringthe seventy-three years since there have beensome ten rectors, and. as the present incum¬bent lias served for gome thirtv-seven years,the average of the terms of the others "is notmore than four years.Daring the rectorship of Rev. Mr. Reed he
lived in or near Rockville, and. in consequenceof the nlmost abandoned condition of the pan.-hchurch, hu and the lay delegates from thech.pel located there were rectived into unionwith the convention of Msrvland in 17b4 asrepresenting Prince George parish, of whichSt. Paul's Rock Creek churc h was the legiti-mi te parish church. The plate and records aswell as th« uauie »eru taken possession of bvtb< chapel and efforts were made to sell anddivide the glebe. Mr. Francis 8. Key. aidedby Mr. (/has. II. Wiit^ierger and others, cameto the rescue and prevented the execution ofthis purpose. Aft< r Mr. Reed's time the firstrecord of ministerial s rvices in St. Paul's is in1820 by Rev. < . C. Austin, whose term was short.He was followed by liev. W. D. Addison. RevA. T. McCormick came in 1828 and Bev. R. Ashin 18.30. and he was followed by the Rev. Chris¬tian Wiltberger in 1831. In"l83« Mr. D. M.Miller was lay reader and as rector in 1887.Rev. K. J. Stewart wa.i rector in 188!>, and Rev.W. A. Harris in 1841. He was followed by Mr.Wood and he by Mr. Kerr, the first in 184;* andthe second in 1851. Tho present incumbent,Rev. Mr. Buck, next came to the parish.
Hot Weather Maxims.From the Boston Transcript.The Listener has three tried and trustworthy
maxims for hot weather conduct, aud outsideof them he knows no trick or device by meansof which the dog star can be circumvented.These maxims are:
^L Wear as light and loose clothing as you2. Take plenty of exercise, but in a calm way.3. Drink no alcoholic or effervescent bever¬
ages.The clothing question is easily solved. A
sign in a Washington-street clothing storewindow says: ,-Vou can dress like a gentlemanif you have #14." Perhaps vou caa dress likea gentleman for that amount, whether you candress as oue or not. But with *15 a man canat least get certain articles or clothing that willmake him very comfortable on a hot dav, asfar as clothing can go. In exercising, the greatCint is not to be atraid of the heat, but not ate same time to choose violent diversions.The youth or maiden who is in the habit ofplaying base ball or lawn tennis and quite ac¬customed to the exercise, mar play it on a hotday as safe Iv as ever; and people who are inthe habit of walking a/air amount have noth¬ing to fear, but every&ing to gain from keep¬ing up their customary exercise in summerBut exceptional physical tests should eertalalybe avoided under a burning sun.

The royal agricultural (how at Windsor thisweek ia the objective point for *11 Londoner*.Thi» ia tha great midsummer event in England,and aa it ia attended by the queen and royaltyin general, of course it is a fad, and you areconsidered next to nobofy if you do not go.Windsor and the neighborhood of the shownow wear* its prettiest dress. The wild rosesbloom in luxurious profusion in the hedgea,the poppies nod their pretty heads to eachpassing breeze, the foliage of the trees ia de¬lightful. and the fields are rich in verdure; thelazy Thames glides on ita peaceful way tosmoky, grimy and busy London and the sea.There are miles and miles of shedding con¬taining the best specim ens of horseflesh thakingdom affords (and they are all flue animals),ana there is a daily parade of cattle andhomos which stirpasses anything I have evorseen. Thi n you can inspect the two royalfarms which contain the stock owned by thequeen and hor large family. The farming im¬plements and machinery is also a very ffue dis-plav. * Then you can go to the queen's pavilion,a delightful rustic house, well planned andwell fitted up for the visit of her majesty, luthe rear of this pavilion are the picturesquehouses devoted to the council, stewards audmembers. The rost of the immense inclosureis occupied with sheep, a large horse ring,stands, farrier's shop, fodder yard and exer¬cising grounds. There is a superb displayof butter and clicese-making devices.There in one machine of Swedishmanufacture which makes butter instantly; alsoa cream separator worked by a hot, whichturns out milk on one side and cream on theother. The 1loyal Agricultural society wasorganized in 1839. It was formed by "loyal(and royal) subject* for the general advance¬ment of English agriculture." The queeu hasalways been a patroness of the society aud isnow its president. The queen's Shorthorns,Here fords, and Bcotch cattle, and her famousbreed of pigs from the farm at Windsor aregenerally among tho winners of prizes. OnJuly 2 there will be a sale of the stock on thefarm of the Prince of Wales, which will be at-tended by a largo number of Americans. Alto-gether the show this year is the finest displayever made by the society, which is now fiftyyears old.
ksorhoub tbattic on wheels.To the casual wanderer through the streets
of London there is no sight more astonishingthan its enormous traffic on wheels. You canthus gain a faiut idea of the dense mass of peo¬ple within its comparatively narrow limits. Inall the world I doubt if there is such a sight tobe seen as the Koval Exchange at noon, orKegent street and Picadilly later in the day.unless it be the Strand or Fleet street at allhourti. One wonders where this vast mass ofhumanity lives considering the area of Loudonand its suburbs. And then the cabs! Turnwhere you wilt, you meet cabby, and you brushagainst his horse a hundred times a dr.y. Asfor the 'busses, they run everywhere and areeven endangering the cabman's career. Everv-one travels by 'bus. It is cheaper than walking.Four cents will take yon iroin one end of Lon¬don to the other, vnd you can travel over threemiles for two cents.
a Losdon carbt.A short notice of the London cabman may be
interesting. The average cabby has to payabout *5 a day for tho hire of his cab andhorses. This means long and weary hours ofexposure in all sorts of weather (and it isprincipally a bad sort in London) and tho exer¬cise of great shrewdness. He is thereforeobliged to be lyux-eyed, and as the rates offare are very reasonable (63 cents an hour or25 cents tor the first 2 miles and 10 cents eachadditional mile) he must pick up u great rnaoypassengers before he can even p*v the ex¬penses of his outfit, to say nothing "of food,rent i.nd clothing for himself and family. It isa vital part of the unwritten law regulating cabhire that a driver has a right to expect some¬thing beyond his strictly legal fare, andwoe betide the unfortunate passengerwho refuses to recognize this fact.I have made it brief study of tho cab systemduring niy visit, and from what 1 have seen orthe streets of London I should say that a word-cor.test between a cabman and the passenger isquite sure to end in tho discomfiture of the lat¬ter. Jarvey lives by his wits, and he has a ile-.cided advantage in the matter of free and easyconversation. One evening I was standing atthe entrance of Terry's theater when a cabdrove up with a gorgeous swell and his ladycompanion. On alighting the passenger ten¬dered his driver what was probably the rightsum. Cabby looked at it, turned it over, andthen iu a loud, but benevolent tone, exclaimed:" 'Adn't you and the lady better get in agen,
sir, and 'ave your money's'worth? I could 'avedruv ye anuther twenty or thirty yards forthis," looking contemptuously at tlie money inhis hand. 'On another occasion two middle-aged ladiesof vinegar temperament and miserly aspectengaged a hansom. When discharging cabbythey pBid their fare in pennies. He counted itcarefully, and in replv to a tartly-uttered ques-tion by on#' of tbe Indie*, answered:"Well. no. mum; it ain't right, but as you must'ave been a long time saving hup for this yerehaiinual treat, I won't bo 'ard upon yer."And he drove off.Yesterday I v. as driving along Oxford street
in a hansom at a rapid rate to catch a train.As wt were turning a corner another hansomrun into our near side with just euough forceto laud its horse's head across our horse's back.I expected a stroug and impolite shower of in¬vectives from my jarvey, but it came uot.\\ ith withering politeness he observed to theother driver:'.When your 'oss 'ave seen all 'e wants to see
across my 'oss's back, p'raps Vll git down.But bless your 'art, there ain't no 'urryPThere is no love lost between the cabmanand the 'bus driver. Each seems to regard theother as his natural enemy, and often the cab¬man has reason on his side. On a wet, coldday I have seen a cubby just about to pick up asmall fare, after following the passenger for ablock or two. and just when his patience wasabout to be rewarded a 'bus driver, with"room for one inside."came along and suappedup the pedestrian. A smart aud sulphurousexchange of compliments followed betweenthese vehicle rivals of the street.Last week I was on top of a Bayswater 'bus
seated by the driver* A rival 'bus had. ior sometime, succeeded in "keeping the roud" and pre¬vented our pasting bv. Finally we drew upaud were love! witu it. The driver of the rival'bus was rather poorlv clad, aud this »aet didnot escape tho lynx eye of the conductor. Heshouted to his driver: "I say, Bill, what priceihat suit o' clothes? 'E ain't too tlashy in hisgit-up, is 'e?""O, 'e's all right, poor chap," retortedBill, with a pitying look ut his opponent, "itlun't his fault. His missus keeps a second-handcluthrs shop, and 'e's got to take the stock-in- 1trade out for an airiu."One cannot w.ilk a square in this great citywithout witnessing mauv interesting iucidciitsand curious sights, especially among tin poorerclasses. Passing over Hirekfriars bridge, late jone night. I sadly counted fifty persons oi both
sexes endeavoring to sleep upon the cold stoneseats erected on the buttresses of the bridge.Phis is a common sight aud it is a sad reflec¬tion that several hundred people are nightlyglad to accept the little comfort afforded by anadamantine bed, outside the very doors of thephilanthropist.
AN 1XTEBNATI0NAL TENNIS MATCH.The contingent of tenuis and newspaper m-jnwho came over in May for the purpose of in¬ducing some of tho leading foreign players tovisit the United States this summer have been
partially successful in their mission. Negotia¬tions nave been concluded far a series of threematches between Mr. Oeo. Kerr, Irish profes¬sional. and Mr. Thos. Pettitt, American profes¬sional, aud the former will return with Mr. H.A. L)i.sou about tlie uiiddio of July. Mr. Dit-son has perfected tho arrangements with MrJackson, editor of Fnttinir, the leading tennisorgan of England, for these contests. Theformer lias offered a prize of *250 for the win¬ner. Whether or not other players will ac¬company Mr. Ditson cannot yet be determined.The all-England tournament at Wimbledonwill occur early in July and the subject willthen be canvassed. It is expected, however,that several of the leading players will crossthis summer and thua inaugurate internationaltenuis contests. This will place the game inAmerica upon a firmer tooting and increase thestrength of onr players. Should their wider-taking fail this year there is no doubt that theprofessional match bstween Pettitt and Kerrwill awaken such an interest in internationalcontests that another year will witness ita ac¬complishment H.W. a*°ttosr."Wsli, did you get that situation asoffice boy?" .Little son."Nope.""What was the matter?"»W» know.
