REAL ESTATE STILL ROOMS
The Record of the Past week Com
sidered First Rate.

Another week of large real estate trans
fers and numerous building permits is gone
while the six days to come give great
promise of being much the same in point
of business. The approach Of fall has, of
course, depressing effect upon building
operations and real estate negotiations. and
as winter approaches there will be large
falling off The number of transfers has
fallen off somewhat from previous weeks,
but still remains considerably higher than
for the same period in previous years.
Building operations have declined some
what and this has consequently less
ened the demand for vacant prop
erty. Suitable sites for stores are
in good demand and a purchaser
can always be found. This demand is par
ticularly noticeable in the suburbs, and is
grounds for great confidence. The total
number of transfers last week was 243, and
the consideration was $3.50. 1872. There
were seventy-four building permits issued,
the buildings to cost S94. 220, OF trife over
81. 900 each. These are mainly residences
in the suburbs. In July there were issued
S72 permits, with 1904, 402 as the estimated
cost of the buildings.
AS a specimen of what push and energy
can accomplish, when backed by a requisite
amount OF nerve, the following story may
not be out of place while speaking of real
estate. Some three or four months ago a
young man employed on one of the city
papers became disguised with the small
salary he was drawing and determined to
make some money. By strict economy he
had saved $50. and this he invested in real
estate. He doubled his money almost and
invested again. A few days ago he counted
his lucre and was somewhat surprised to
find that his $50 had grown to $500. The
most of this he has invested i'll another
deal, paying 5000 down on $4,000 house,
which he expects to sell in short time for
at least SIS, 500. The young man says there
is no money in reporting, and that he never
was infatuated with it anyway.

KNIVES AND ROCKS USED.
Two Italians Injured During

About o'clock last evening party of a
dozen Italians, who had gathered on the
corner of Spring and Buchanan Streets be-
came involved in quarrel and in second
were all in heap, each man working for
himself and striving to kill or mutilate
every one around him. Knives were
drawn and in a short time the fight assumed
serious proportions. During the fracas two
men were seriously injured, being badly
cut. One was nearly blinded and had his
scalp laid open in several places. He was
taken home in the patrol wagon, but the
police were unable to learn his name. The
other injured man is Valentine Lorenzo.
He was severely cut in the back, and will
be confined to the house some time. AS he
was seen to strike another man, he was
taken to the station, his wounds dressed
and himself locked up. Four other arrests
were made. The names of the men are. as

SPORTS AT CALHOUN.

Crowd Rather Slim.

The Events Interesting. but the
Crowd Rather Slim.
The attendance at Calhoun park yester-
day was not as large as could be wished,
many people preferring to remain Oh the
outside and witness the games from trees
and housetops. In fact the trees IN the
neighborhood looked as though huge fiOcks
of crows had settled there. Toward the
close of the entertainment Managers Moul-
ton and Wallace brought the blush of
shame to the face of some of their outside
crowd by throwing open the gates and in
yiting them in free of charge. 1t is almost
needless to say that they came. The first
event on the program was one-hundred-
and-twenty-five-yard foot race between
Lewis West and John Price, West giving
Price four wards start AT the blast Of the
bugle the men started, West running easily
and lightly while Price seemed to be work
ing considerably harder. The race was
won by West by two yards in 1917 seconds.
The event of the afternoon was the
mounted sword contest between Dun
Walsh. and those who witnessed
the exhibition the other day and this one
declared that this was the finer of the two.
1t consisted of nine attacks. with Bronson
Wallace as referee. At the signal the men
came together with a rush. and after little
finiting Walsh scored point In the sec
ond attack Walsh also scored a point by
warding heavy thrust and getting in a
fine BODY blow. The third. fourth and fifth
attacks were won by Ross by clean cuts
one of which was decidedly powerful one
A short rest was taken and again the COM
batants went at it. Walsh scoring point
almost Immediately. Ross, after a long
contest, scored in the seventh attack, and
Walsh made point in the next attack,
which left the score 4 to 4. and one more
attack to be fought Both men were care
full as they came together and several
wicked thrusts were neatly parted by both
men. Finally Walsh made a rush, and to
all appearances scored a point. Almost at
the same instant Ross sabre struck Walsh's
armor with a resounding clash, and the
referee awarded the fight to Walsh. The
contest was an exciting one and was we'll
fought Oh both sides.
During the time the men were resting
after the fifth attack Lewis West and Ed
Moulton ran a foot race of 125 yards,
1t was won by West, in 13 seconds. The
concluding event was some fine club swing
ing by Mr.. Ed Moulton, and his efforts
were warmly applauded.

Knew What He Was Going to Say.
d..

There is suburban youngster who is
evidently intended by nature for lawyer,
if nature can be said ever to have intended
a man to be lawyer. He has two prayers
that he says at night-Sometimes the one
and sometimes the other. One is the dear
old Now lay me, and the other prayer
that this boy calls The Good Shepherd. -
The other night his older sister, who was
putting him to bed improved the occasion
by giving him little lecture on the omni-
presence and omniscience of the creator

know just everything that we are going to

SERMON FROM NATURE.
The Scandinavian Workingmeuss
Picnic-.Speech by Judge Rand.

The Scandinavian Workingnlen's
Picnic--Speech by Judge Rand.
The Scandinavian Workingmen'S Union
picnic at Lake Forest yesterday was largely
attended and was a great success. The
train arrived at Lake Forest at $50 a. m.
The Normanla band, playing a beautiful
march, headed the delegation from the de-
pot to the picnic grounds close by the lake,
and there the Minneapolis people were
royalty received by the Scandinavians of
that part of Washington county. Various
parties then engaged their row and sail
boats and trip was taken around the
lake, and On their return they were greeted
by the band. After returning to the
grounds circle was formed, and the presi-
dent of the order, Mr.. Along, stepped for
ward and said:
lin compliance with the universal wish
of all present, l ask Judge Rand-whom
we regard as our true frlnd, and who, in
my opinion, is true friend
of any and all well founded labor organi-
zations-to favor us with speech Judge
Lars NJ. Rand then stepped forward and
spoke in the interest of labor and this order
for nearly an hour. He commenced by
saying:
while generally believe that the Sab
bath should be spent in church. or other
places of worship for the moral elevation of
mankind-for no one has a higher rever-
ance for the Sabbath than have-yet, in
these times, man who tolls for his daily
bread is compelled to work six days every
week from early morn to late at night,
and many OF you in closed mills and
badly ventilated shops, i'll order
that he and family may live
l believe that one Sunday in the year can
be most probably spent in listening to
sermon preached by nature, for indeed she
speaks to us at the present time and spot
in most beautiful language"
The speaker went on describing the in
spiration received from the sky-blue lake,
green hills and the beautiful surrounding
and was listened to with rapt attention.
Then the speaker in a logical and compre-
henSive way discussed the labor question.
its present enemies and opposing evils, and
the proper remedies that would do away
with them and advance the cause of labor.
In conclusion the speaker eulogiZed the
order OF Knights of Labor and appealed to
the Scandinavian workmen to cooperate
with that order. for he believed it to be the
best order for the labor cause now existing.
After an hour or so devoted to various
kinds Of amusement the society took the
train for Minneapolis. where it arrived
about s O'Clock. The order is rapidly
progressing and is doing good work in the

her, it is natural that this little American
princess should have all unusual wardrobe.
but more than once custom house officers
have been astOunded at the number and
character of the trunks carried by the party,
and the last time Mrs. Sharpsteen arrived
in New York from Europe with eighteen
trunks she found herself, to her great aston
lshment, suspected of being a famous
female smuggler for whom the officers
were on the lookout. To begin
with, Miss May has passion
for dolls, and she had picked them up in
every foreign country where she has been,
and not dolls only, but dolls wardrobes and
every conceivable thing that can be thought
of for doll housekeeping. She has German
dolls, and French dolls, and Flemish
dolls, Swiss dolls, and japanese dolls,
blondes, brunettes, brides, peasants, and of
all Sorts compilations. and sizes. Then
she has everything in diminutive that fair
