The movement IN small real estate
holdings for homes for men which We
predicted last week. basing our hopes
upon the great influx Of gold. has act
ually commenced. In proof comes this
from the New York Herald. concerning
the movement in such values i'm New
York city,
Quite unexpectedly the real estate
market has developed a feature OF
strength at the end Of the spring sea-
son that was quite absent from II earl
ier in the year. This is a greatly in
creased interest in small investment
properties.
Last week. for instance, the sensa-
tional transactions involving amounts
running into the millions were entire-
ly lacking. but there were scores Of
purchases by sn.ssil investors in near
~ every section of the city and of most
kinds OF real property.
Professional real estate men--brok-
ers, operators and builders-regard this
development with the greatest salts
faction. for with the man OF small
meas interested In the market the ac-
tive period may be considerably pro-
nonged'
This il not Providence 10 be sure: IL
Is New York city; but II will develop
here In exactly the same way. Now is
the time to buy yourself home.

A decision given by the full board OF
the supreme court ends absolutely the
sale OF cigars and tobacco in Boston,
or any where else in Massachusetts on
Sundays. But the court has left very
wide open door In its decision. 1t had
before been decided by this court, that
''cigars are not drugs but they may
be medicinal" and "they contain an
element that may be called a drug" SO
now the court inserts into its decision
this saving clause: 1T may be that,
with OF without prescription from a
physician. one may lawfully purchase
tobacco or cigars as medicine at a
drug store on the Lords Day" In the
case before 1t. however. there was no
such pretence. With much humility.
we would like TO ask. II that is what.
by way OF courtesy. we may call le-
gal decision.

The Philadelphia Times gives US
this encouraging outlook: Nothing
ran stop us; American manufacturers
are now invading nearly every branch
of European industry. England awak-
ened to the struggle several years ago.
Germany has just found that American
goods are selling over her counters
cheaper than they can be made in the
empire The report of Consul General
Frank III. Mason declares protective
duty is contemplated that for time at
seast will compel the German people TO

There is some comfort in believing
shat possibly ~ may be true, this from
q San Francisco paper:
The collapse OF two gigantic busi-
ness trusts, and the reduction by a
third OF it's dividend declarations by
half, leads Gunstons Magazine to say
that the instances affirm Its belief that
over capitalization and speculation and
speculative management. under uneco-
nomic combination are more effective
corrections than any possible legisIa-
tion can be. 1t believes that very early
there will be collapse of other trusts.

Mr.. Davies also improvised walls OF

the front OF each coach.
The invention is the work OF Mr.. Da-

atmosphere was serious obstacle to a
moving train, and that the speed was
reduced thereby twenty per cent. He
explained his idea to the superintendent
of the eastern division of the road. and
was allowed TO show what ne could do,
and this was the result:

EpwOrth League. The Third Depart
ment of the Rockville Chapter of the Ep.
worth League gave its fifth entertainment
on Tuesday evening at the Methodist church
in Rockville The audience expected to be,
in part, entertained by some vocal music
from Miss Holden, of Washington, who,
however, was prevented by sickness from
attending.
Mr.. James F. Allen read humorous par
ody on "The Old Oaken Bucket" and then
DIR. w. II. Andrews gave his Talk on
Germs" The Doctor made himself quite
interesting to all present aud won the hearts
of the non professional auditors by the
avoidance, where possible, Of technical
terms and names. He told of many facts
curious and interesting about these organ
isms, and all came away with new respect
for them, with larger ideas of their work
and yet with comfort as they were told of
some germs of good health as well as those
which are the seeds Of disease and death.
The evening was very interesting one,
and all present enjoyed it, and doubtless
were benefited by the knowledge gained
