among the proprietors of the costlier French
fats Such habitations became suddenly
fashionable five years ago. and until 1888
they could not be built fast enough to supply
the demand. Suites of ten or twelve rooms

houses; that's, from $1,000 10 IS, 900 a year.
Investments in that kind of real estate
yielded frequently fifteen per cent. clear.
But the limit was reached last spring, and
is this fall past. Prices of the best class Of
fats have fallen considerably, many
Of tho new houses seem likely to remain
empty, and the boom is over.
The present liking Of moderately wealthy
people is for apartment houses, which arc
midway between fats and hotels. They are
divided into suites of two to five rooms each.

monthlies superior to what may be found in
the dailieS For this reason the former place
their chief dependence for popularity on their
pictorial merit, which Is certainly very APP

art, but without these attractions, however,
they could not compete with the

may be added that its latest issue con-
tains an article by J. 7. Headley. This once
popular writer has falleu out OF notice 20 such

subject OF fre-escnpes, was inspecting a build
lug on East Woodbridge street which had
Just been equipped with balconies and lad
dcrs, and he summed up his opinion with:

At l o'clock Saturday afternoon this same

arose, and an alarm was sounded for the

like frightened sheep.
The eminent citizen lost his legs as soon as

THE BABY DODGE.
What Happened to n Traveller while
Playing Peek-a- BOO With a Little
Dazzling.


tSt. Louis Post Dispatch.l
The very latest style of confidence game is
the baby racket, which was played oil a Chi
cage merchant who came Town on the g.
& A. to witness the Yelled Prophets and
Trades procession. The trick was played by
three young men who boarded the train at
Chicago and left 1t ut some point unknown
&c any OF the passengers. The Chicago man
bad a very fine diamond stud adjoining his
shirt front. This was not the last thing the
confidence men saw and ho was soon
marked" Shortly after the train left
Springfield one Of the young men walked
forward, carrying a laughing baby in his
arms. Saluting one Of his pals" the
confidence man remarked what u nenrt-
less thing 1t was to abandon such a
pretty child. The a~ccomplices stood up and
in a few moments the Chicago man was on
his feet chucking the infant under the chin
and playing peek-a-boo and tootzie-wootzie.
The little thing laughed in great glee and the
Chicago man plnyed monkey while the tenn
porary nurse held up his charge for the ad-
miratiou of the crowd and incidentally passed
his haud under the child's clothes and over to
tho Chicago mans shirt bosom, which was
soon relieved OF its headlight.
The man with the child then started back
to get Il drink OF water and soon returned the
child to its mother, from whom the mice
gentleman" had borrowed it to show his wife
in tho next car. Like all Chicago men, this
particular visitor from the city by the lake
''squealed" and modestly requested that tho
detective force be laid off for u day to hunt
up his diamond. On a description. Tucker
and Browning arrested two Of tho men this
morning, but the Chicago man had goue home,
and the confidence men had 10 bo released.
The baby escaped.

MoDJEsKA AND HER SON.
TIE Young MAJ to BECOME an Ameri-
ean and Engnse In business

philadelphia Times.1
This u Modjeska's last season professionally
In America and assurance is given that the
announcement means what 1t says. The ad-
mirable artistic, however, will not entirely
lose her interest IN this country. 1t has
greatly attracted her, as well a. her son.
Ralph Modjeska, who is about 10 years OF
age. he is an eleve OF the Ecole Polytech-
njque, in Paris Last sprins he graduated,
taking the highest honors in the school. Ths
second po<tion was won by a native of Japan,
who was being educated there at his gov
erDment's expense, and the third by a Scotch
man. Thus in the best preparatory school
or France a Polander, a japanese and a Sco
carried away the hvnors.
Young Modjeska will settle In this country
and pursue his chosen profession, which is
that OF civil engineering, his special study
being roads and bridges. A new country is
clearly the right place for the display of such
talents as he may have in that direction. He
has been spending his vacation in California
and returns to Paris in about a week TO com
plete his studies and graduate at the highest
school In France in all departments of en-
gineering, St Cyr, where the high standing
he obtained ut the Polytechnique gives hin
the privilege Of becoming a member. Two
years at the St Cyr will finish his education
and then he proposes to como to America to
stay, although he Will be the sole heir to a
fine property in Poland and a few hundred
thousands OF his mothers dollars This is all
that he inherits or will inherit from his
mother, except her features. and love for
music. He is a very fine pianist, but here the
romantic in him ends. She is all romance
and imagination. A few years in this coun-
try will make him a good Yankee, and as his
English is now almost faultless, by the time
he has built his first bridge no one will ever
suspect him OF being ever SO remotely con
nected with the European aristocracy.
