SCHENLEY PROPERTY.
No General Improvements Until All
the Leases Expire.
FLATS ARE WINNING THEIR WAY.
A Business Man Points Out Good Feature
of Real Estate Investment.
THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY

Speaking of the Schenley estate yesterday,
a member of the firm of W. A. Heron &
Sons said: 1--WE are doing the same with it
as with other properties under our control
sending out the usual notices. So far as
improvements are concerned we can do
nothing until the leases expire. The
longest run until 1897. By that time Mrs.
Schenley will, no doubt, have matured her
plans for the treatment of the property.
Meanwhile we will keep up repairs and collect
rents"

Ground for Encouragement.

That the business affairs of the country are
prosperous and on solid footing is shown by
the fact that the number of failures SO far this
year is nearly 1000 less than during the same
period of 1889. This should reassure the timid
and seal the lips of the croaker, whose per-
verted vision prevents him seeing anything but
disaster. But it matters little what he says SO
long as facts are against him,

Winning Their Way.

Apartment houses have for many years been
a feature OF New York and Chicago, but their
introduction here is SO recent that they are
still in the experimental stage. That they are
growing in popularity, however, is shown by
the avidity with which they are picked up as
soon as completed. Every house of this kind
that has been finished is occupied or engaged,
and the demand is unsupplied. Two out Fifth
avenue, near Dnwiddic street, will be ready
for occupancy by the first of the year. Those
on Colwell street, near Vine, will be completed
about the same time. 1t is likely that quite
lumber will be erected next year. One OF
seven stories has been planned for Allegheny,
a site for which has been secured on North
avenue. Economy of ground is q strong point
in their favor

On the Safe Side.

The following observations by a successful
business man will meet with general accept
ance: 1T is a noticeable fact that the man
who takes to real estate. either as an invest
ment or as a safe way to husband his earnings,
is generally counted among the winners. He
may not be able to count his gains with the
same frequency as does the man who speculates
in stocks, neither is he compelled to estimate
losses as often, nor is he so freque ntly worried
with financial embarrassment The character
istics of the two men are entirely different.
There is an air Of solid comfort and eQuanimity
about the man who owns lands and houses,
while the stock speculator's face and manner
are indicative of his extra hazardous calling"

AN OPIUM FIEND
oners Two Thousand Dollars to be Re-
leased

CHICAGO, July 20.-A woman, found
IN an opium den on Peek Court last
night, offered the officers diamonds
worth at least $1,000 # they would re-
lease her. The den was discovered by
the merest accident. Officers passing
along the street detected the odor Of
opium smoke near basement laundry
kept by Lee Sun.
The place seemed 10 have only two
rooms, one occupied by the wOrkmen
and the otner sleeping room. Ii was
noticed that the rear room had been
divided by a partition OF plain boards
and tnat they had been covered with
old show bills anu newspapers.
A sort of cupboard, or closet, was
placed against the partition. When this
was removed a small door was disclosed
which opened into secret apartment,
richly furnished.
Heavy damask and satin draperies,
rich plush curtains and costly brlc-a-
brac adorned the place. Around the
sides were half dozen hunks. In one
Of these the woman and a man were
found smoking pipe filled with opium.
Ine woman almost tainted away when
the officers entered. She was richly
dressed, rather young and very pretty
Costly diamonds sparkled in her ears,
on her fingers and wrists, and around
her neck. She took the jewels off and
implored the officer To take them and
release her. The man and woman were
taken TO the station and booked under
assumed names. The keeper of the
place and all of the smoking parapher-
MALTA were locked up.

RACE OF A MAD DOG.

Biting Fifty Dogs He l. Killed.

BltluE Il lfty DOGS ne Is hilicu.
CHICAGO, July 2O.-Resde in the
Twenty-seventh ward-the old town of
JefTerson-nad an experience with a
mad dog last night that will probably
lead 70 a more rigid enforcement of
the "dog ordinance" IN that section.
Early in the evening n l&rge bulldog
came tearing down the road from
Niles, swapping at everything he met.
lie crossed the river and ran down the
main street of MOntrose, where a rail-
road man, German, whose name was
not learned, endeavorCd to intercept
him.
The huge beast fastened his jaws on
the mans and mulItated ito such an
extent that amputatIOn will probably be
necessary. He then ran on down the
street. biting a dozen or more dogs in
the neighbOTboOd.
At Irving Park he sprang upon two
boys VINO were playing in the road. One
of them, tile son of Mr.. Klehni, was
frghtfully laceratod about the chest
and was taken to the hospital. The
other. a son of Mr. Guyer, was bitten in
the right hand. By this time quite a
party Of citizens were IN pursuit OF the
mad brute. He was followed out into
an open field, where he turned on his
pursuers. One of the party shot and
wounded him, aud then a man armed
with an ice pick struck him a blow in
the neck. The dog fastened his teeth
on the handle of the pick and was prod
ded TO death with a pItchfoTk before ne
could release bis hold.
Some fifty dOgsSupposed TO have been
in the path Of the rsbid animal were
shot this morning.

examined some OF the theories by which
the power has been sought 10 be eX-

whatever that Mrs. Abbott is a medium
OF uncommon gifts. He went SO tar as
to express the opinion that her dis

of her strength was not honest. He
