CI TV GROW TH does not seek the lowlands, nor pass natu
ral barriers, like broad rivers. It avoids areas of high taxation
without a return in city improvements, like county jurisdictions. It
leaves the rivers and mounts the highlands. It gathers about public
and educational institutions, with park-like sites, and follows easy
lines of slight resistance, like the straightaway course of a broad
avenue.
I HEREFORE, city growth will reach and greatly advance
the value of \\ ESLEY PARK, for it possesses in ample measure
the advantages of a situation on high ground, near the capital's
greatest boulevard?Massachusetts avenue?in close proximity to
an institution?the American University?with nearly three mil
lions of assets and with two great marble buildings about ready to
open to students, and in the direct line of the growth of a city des
tined to material greatness.

Special Correspondence of The Stkr.
LONDON. May 19, 1906.
The great Interest taken by members of
parliament In the case of Madame d'An
gely (the French woman who was arrested
In Regent street late at night in an unfor
tunate mistake) was very evident, even in
the outer lobbies of the house of commons
yesterday. There was an unusually la^e
crowd of country constituents in search of
tickets for the galleries, and as the day was
warm and tine there was the first rush of
the year of ladles anxious to enjoy the de
lights of tea on the terrace, but members
were too excited by the case to pay their
usual attention to constituents and their
wives.
There was much satisfaction at the an
nouncement of a royal commission, for it
is at last certain that the scandal of the
streets of the west end will now receive
careful consideration and proper investiga
tion, instead of studied neglect and Phari
saical contentment.
Hut although there was satisfaction that
the government had determined upon a gen
eral Inquiry into the state of the streets, it
was felt that this decision was no repara
tion to Madame d'Angely.
That Madame d'Angely should be forced
in order to prove her Innocence to appear
before a commission, which has been ap
pointed to devise a means of sweeping out
the Augean stables of Regent street, is
adding Insult to Injury. In the first place,
she will be obliged to wait a considerable
time before she can jastlfy herself, and even
then she will have no power to proceed
against the policeman who arrested her or
the magistrate who dismissed the charges
brought against her. The case has been
dismissed, and Madame d'Angely cannot
appeal to a higher court.
It may be remembered that the Miss Cass
case of seventeen years ago, which affords
perhaps some analogy to the present,
severely shook the government, which at
first refused to investigate it. The govern
ment would therefore be well advised to
make a prompt Inquiry into Madame
d Angely's complaints, and not to confine
the issue with the investigations of a royal
commission into the sweepings of Regent
street.
The opposition, of course, have swooped
down like vultures on the case of Madame
d'Angely. More than that, society Is full
of it. In every drawing room tnere Is a
buzz over the matter. It is not too much to
say that no continental capital would toler
ate such public flaunting of-Immorality as
can be witnessed not only at night, but in
broad daylight, in several of London's prin
cipal thoroughfares. If the proposed royal
commission really cleanses the streets it
will do much good. No one imagines that
vice can be stamped out, but it need not
be thrust into the face of pure women as
is now the case. Lord Melbourne?who was
an experienced reprobate?once said that
the risks which an innocent girl Incurred
were such as no feminine sinner would
dream of running.
It is feared that the government has
made a mess of the case by not offering a
frank apology to the victim of the police
mistake. The lobby of the house literally
rings with the name of Madame d'Angely.
Next to Mr. Winston Churchill, Mr. Herbert
Gladstone is the member of the government
whose manner is least to the taste of all
parties, and as he seems to be as irritable
as Mr. Arnold-Forster and as susceptible
as Mr. Brodertck, there will pro|jably be
many willful kttnmpts to bait htaft In the
course of the session. To Sir Henry Fow
ler is owed the political adage that "the
best way to Sihelve an awkward topic is to
let a royal commission deal'with It." The
outcome of the whole thing will be a vigor
ous effort to get the police under the con
trol of the London county council.
*
* *
There Is every disposition, I find. In geo
graphical circles to recognize the serious
character of the enterprise which is being
undertaken by Mr. Walter Wellman, who
proposes to attempt to reach the north
pole in an airship. Mr. Wellman has been
in London during the past week consulting
authorities and busying himself with a
thousand and one matters connected with
the organization of his expedition. The air
ship which is belnb built for him in Paris
Is reported to be nearing completion, and a
start will very shortly be made for Spitz
bergen, whence, eventually, the final flight
to the north pole will be attempted.
It may be hoped that the choice of a
starting place is not a tragic omen, but it
is impossible to forget that It was from
Spitzbergen that Andre sailed In his balloon
Into the unknown northern solitudes In
1897, never to be seen again from that day
until this. Mr. Wellman intends to carry
out an elaborate series of experimental
trips before starting for the north po'.e, with
a view to testing the capabilities of his air
ship and motor sledges under arctic condi
tions. If the results are not considered sat
isfactory this season he is prepared to delay
his final flight until next year, and if fur
ther experiment should then seem desirable
he will even wait till the summer of 1908.
Geographers, of course, have no complaint
against the spirit of thoroughness which
characterizes Mr. Wellman's preparations
for his expedition, but they are inclined to
doubt the wisdom of making the attempt
at all. Dr. Andre was no mad-brained en
thusiast, but a man of scientific education,
who argued in favor of his project with
such plausibility as almost to convince his
friends that the success of his experiment
was assured. Yet he had to pay the penalty
of Ills daring with his life. No doubt great
advances have been made in the science or
aerial navigation since 1897, but the jour
neys which have hitherto been made in
airships scarcely seem to warrant an at
tempt to cover by that means of locomo
tion a distance of 700 miles over the polar
ocean, and the addition of motor sledges
to the equipment of Mr. Wellman's airship
can hardly be considered other than a
very slender safeguard against disaster.

There Is no need to minimize the stories
which are being told of bad times on the
London stock exchange and the retirement
of many members. The stories are true,
and yet they are true in a way which pre
vents them to some extent from being de
plorable. Rut generally, and therefore with
the reservations that any general statement
needs, what has happened is a collapse of
speculation from outside. One supposes
that this must mean really healthier times,
though that can hardly be the prominent
feeling when the way thither is painful.
But one might say, still speaking generally,
that the use of the stock markets as a
gambling ground by people who did noth
ing but gamble In it has considerably de
clined. Whether it be from bridge or from
i beauty-culture, or from some other ab

it
sorbing pursuit that gives excitement and
chatter and a false activity, the west end
lias got ever Its stock craze. Prom the
stock exchange point of view the west end
has entirely shifted its Interests and comes
to the city no more.
It has long been obvious to any one wno
has watched recent changes in society.
For one thing, the "runner" has disappear
ed. He was a young man, as a rule well
born and well connected, who was attached
to a firm of brokers. He received half the
commission on the orders he obtained for
his principals. He has not been extinguish
ed without taking hia place in current liter
ature, and the student of a future day who
investigates our social conditions will dis
inter him. Whether the future day will
grasp how lucrative a business It was Is
another matter. During the South African
war especially ttie "runners" did extremely
well. They worked Indeed In a reciprocat
ing, or one might say "snowball" kind of a
way. They Introduced business to brokers.
The brokers thereby becoming rich and
desiring to enter society, the "runners"
furthered thejr wishes. Being In society
the brokers were able to work more easily
with the "runners" and so the game piled
Itself up, and fledgling city millionaires
