wintry weather that yet "lingers in the
lap OF spring" has had its rough edges
worn off. Real estate dealers are ex-
pecting lively times during the ensuing
summer, and doubtless their expeecta-
tions are well grounded. While trans
fers of realty in business and populous
residence districts are by no means in
frequent, greater degree OF activity
prevails in the outlying places. Every
few days some new subdivision is OPEN
ed and put on the market. Several
California operators are here engaged in
the business. VIM. B. Krutz of Los
Angeles has been handling Chicago
subdivision very successfully for more
than year. And now comes J. P.
Carthy, formerly of Los Angeles, but
now of San Francisco, and buys large
tract near this city for subdivision and
sale.
The market value of ground in the
business heart of the city is still ad-
vancing, and where it will stop no one
knows, except that there is likely to be
a reaction soon after the Columbian
exposition closes. Let me mention one
sample of land values on good business
corners. A few montha ago small
piece OF ground at the northwest corner
of Dearborn and Madison streets, dag
onally opposite the Tribune building,
and on which the Inter Ocean building
now stands, was cold by the square
inch. do not remember the price paid
per inch, but it was enormous. Any
how, gentleman who likes to figure
out such problems has discovered that
had there been an acre of that ground
at the price paid per inch it would have
cost, in round numbers, 5000, 600. This
sum would buy $4,000 acres of the best
farming lard in Illinois, at 500 per
acre, which is nearly double what such
lands are worth on an average. When
men can afford to pay at the rate of
$8,000,0 900 an acre for the privilege of
doing business on certain piece of
ground in this city, no wonder that high
buildings are put up and streets made
dark. RALPH T.. HoYT.

Special Correspondence to the HERALD
CHICAGO, May 11.-Another months
experience in Chicago confirms my i'm
preston OF last winter-that the people
of this city and adjacent towns are more
interested in getting information about
California than they have been before
in the past five years. California grows
in favor more and more with eastern
people, as they come in possession OF
additional facts concerning our country.
Those who have never been there are
favorably impressed by what others say
who have visited the Pacific coast. At
least, such is the rule, though of course
there is an occasional exception. A
very few from among the many persons
who have returned to this city recently,
after visiting California, speak unfavor
ably of it; but such cases are rare and
always result either from personal dis
appointments, or erroneous impressions
hastily formed, or perhaps from COM
bination of these. The recent earth
quakes in the northern portion of our
state caused some unfavorable comment
here, as was to be expected. / met
several men who spoke derisively OF Cal
ifornia on account of those "shakes."
But it was an easy matter to squelch
such critics by simply mentioning the
undeniable fact that more lives and
property are destroyed in one state east
OF the mountains every year by the
deadly cyclone or by lightning than
California during a period of nearly
eighty years. This statement, which
they cannot deny, makes the croakers
look silly. Ii | am not mistaken the
travel from the east to California will be
kept up lively and to an unusual degree
as to numbers this season. For grad
ually it is dawning on the
minds of easterners that California
is pretty good country to spend
summer in, as well as for winter re-
sort. Many are also finding out that
now is good time for buying homes
and fruit lands in California, and that
the longer they delay the more they will
have to pay for the desired property
when they do invest.
Overland travel on the Santa Fe route
continues good, and indication are favor
able for further continuance of it, even
through the summer months. People
hereabouts have heard OF the Santa Fe's
"kite line," Arrowhead hot springs, the
"fan-shaped track" leading to seaside
resorts, and other attractions of South
ern California identified with the coast
end of the Santa Fe system, and they
feel sure of being able to enjoy them
selves at any time OF year by the fscili-
ties offered on that popular line.
Chicago continues to boom, in the
most thoroughly modern style, except
that the brass band element in real
estate sales is lacking. But that will
probably be provided when the cold.

Driving Nails and woman's Equality.

Driving Nails and Woman's Equality.
The last nail which is to be driven into
the Worlds fair Woman's building is
to be composed of gold, silver and copper
from Montana, and is the gift of wom-
an. The hammer is to be an equally
beautiful and representative offering
from another state, designed, made, and
presented by women.
But the real test of the equality of the
sexes will be the driving of the nail by
the president. Mrs Palmer. If that
precious nail be driven straight and un-
deviatingly to its place, if the sacred
hammer does not strike the fingers of
the woman who wields it, then the men
might as well give up the contest and
let women have the ballot, and the trou-
sers, and the privilege of standing up in
the cars, and all the rest of it. She will
have them anyway if she decides to, and
how much more graceful to proffer the
favors than to yield them from necessity.
Contributions of a representative char
acter are being sent from the different
states and women's associations to the
famous building and the New York
Women's Press club is agitating the
question of presenting the door of the
main entrance. New York Sun.

II don't see why shouldn't have that

brothers new trousers came home from

"But it's for trousers" said her
brother.
"That's no reason why a girl shouldn't

answered.
1t was soft gray, with tiny stripes of
darker gray and hair line of black

The result was plain from that mo-

A Princess Palm.

The Princess Mary of Teck, like most
young women of high and of low degree,
has been to the fortune teller. She be-
lieves in palmistry, and more than three
years ago had her hands examined, not
by a professional, but by a woman well
known in society and famous for her
powers as chiromancist. Among other
things which the latter predicted was
that the princess engagement would
greatly depend on the manner in which
she acquitted herself during the few
years following (Which have now passed),
and that her marriage would raise her
to high rank, in which the greatest
tact, care and policy would be required.
The princess believes in palmistry now
more than ever, and thinks of studying
it for herself. f.-London Star.

A Novel Idea.

Some member of tho Berean Mission
Sunday school on Manhattan avenue has
hit upon novel idea in the way Of a
general birthday reminder 1t has been
pleasant habit in the Berean Sunday
school to endeavor to recognize in some
graceful way the birthday of every Off
Ger and teacher of the school, but this
endeavor was often frustrated by the
natural modesty of some Of the intended
recipients and the equally natural for
getfulness of the other members where
SO many dates had to be kept in mind.
In order to remedy this and to make
it certain that no one can by any pos
sibility be forgotten, a reminder has just
been printed on cards and distributed.
These cards contain the names and
ages of every officer aud teacher, to-
gether with the day of the month on
which they were born. Brooklyn Let
