REAL ESTATE
Prices are Not Altered
Materially.
Chinese Looking for New Locations,
Banks Not Leaning Freely.
Lumber a Factor.

Real estate prices. so the dirt sellers |
state, were firm during the week, no
appreciable tendency TO go mp. nor any
noticeable attempt % shade prevailing
figures. some of'the dealers were Of
the opinion that enough transfers OF
real estate had been made 10 prove that
there is a steady market for property
both city and suburban. Inquiry among
the principal brokers however, does not
develop a particularly lively market.
The main purchases appear To be in the
districts where cheap lots can be OBJ
tanned. KewalO district at present
seems TO have the lead for speculative
and for immediate building purposes.
| When attention was given 10 prop
erty in this and outlying districts. large

on the instalment plan; some Of the
original purchasers bought in this man
ner and have sold recently at a cOnsid-
cradle advance. II is believed by the
/ real estate men that now Is the time
| to buy, and they aver that no better
opportunity than the present will offer
before prices begin 10 rise. When
figures advance. anxiety 70 purchase
seems to be the rule. The prices are
reasonable at present and certain prom
inent brokers assert a rapid advance
is directly in view; the opportunity
however, to take up these offers is de-
ferred.
So far however. as the real estate
market is concerned. one firm stated
that it depends largely upon the con
uauon of the banks and their DISPOSE
Ition to loan money. Just at the present
time the dirt sellers figure that thes'
ImOnied institutions are not in position
to loan money as freely as previous L
the plague outbreak. AS soon as thu
present inactivity in commercial cir
cles slackens. there is no doubt in thei
minds as to the loosening up Of the cir

AGUlNALDo's EXPERIENCE.

According to official files and records
in the various departments at Wash
ington, Aguinaldo has had an expert
ence with this government he will not
soon forget, even if he lives to remem-
Der it.
First, he was hunted up by American
officials in Singapore. promised the ma
tional independence of his people, if he
would reorganize his army and help
us fight Spain; he called his people to-
gether and induced them to enlist by re-
peating to them the promises made by
our authorized government representa-
tives. whose agreements were subse-
quently ratified by the state depart
ment at Washington; then Admiral
Dewey advised him to set uD a civil
government, after which the insur-
gents were armed and accepted as al
lies by the commanding officer of the
American forces; the services sought
were rendered faithfully and satisfac-
torily by the Filipinos under Aguin-
aldo: after the war was over General
Merritt, acting upon instructions from
Washington, deliberately snubbed and
studiously ignored Aguinaldo and our
allies; the presidents message-whieh
General Otis. aware that it would be
accepted as a challenge to war, edited
and softened-got to the natives finally,
in the harshness and selishness of its
original tone. and the result was ex-
aetly as Otis fOresaw; since which time
our troops have been shooting the late
subjects of Spain. our late allies, down
like jack rabbits, chasing AguinaldO
over Luzon. taking captive the women
I OF his household and otherwise causing
him to wonder, no doubt. why we didn't
fight our own battles with Spain in
stead of hunting him up in Singapore
and making promises to his people
through him-promises that a dishonest
administration has never shown the
/ least disposition to fulfill.
no wonder Republican newspapers
have frequently asserted, since the pres
ent administration came into power,
that the government is in control Of
thieves and imbsciles who have no
sense of national honor, and believe
that questions of patriotism can be fig
ured up by a bookkeeper and settled
with a certified check"
The Infamous aggregation at the
head Of our national affairs" has not
the remotest idea Of patriotism or IN
selfish devotion to country here, in
South Africa or in Luzon-and we can
cite Republican authority for this dec
/ larati0n, too.

HEALTH AND LIBERTY.

There are those who evidently be-
lieve that smallpox can be cured by
eating onions or taking a bath: there
are others who do not believe in medi-
cal treatment for typhoid OF in paying
more attention to scarlet fever than to
collie: others contend thar sanitary
precautions are acts of tyranny and
that quarantine regulations are an in
fringement of individual liberty.
Why should healthy children be com
PEELED to remain at home because a
brother or sister has the scarlet fever
OF diphtheria? they ask. Why should
healthy children be vaccinated when
an epidemic Of smallpox is threatened
/ inquiries another. And those who do
not believe in medicine or physicians
claim that sanitary laws and quaran-
| tine regulations are contrary to the
constitutional guarantee of religious
freedom. just as compulsory vaccina-
ton or confinement in the pest house
are violations OF the law Of personal
liberty.
It may be well 10 explain that
religious liberty in this country does
not carry with II any exemption from
the penalties Of violated law. Neither
is the right OF personal liberty recog-
nized beyond the point where it begins
to interfere with the general welfare
or to assert itself in opposition to the
precautions taken for the protection of
7 the general public against any threat
ened evil.
Under our system Of government
every man is absolutely free to believe
anything he pIeasas and to advocate
any. cause he believes in. but he must
not violate the law. he must not dis

SHORT SKIRTS FOR THE STREET

When the mud is on the crossing and
the clouds are in the sky, it is time to
talk Of trailing skirts and to ask wo-
men why in the world they don't unan-
imously adopt the short skirt for street
use.
This is not question of looks, or of
modesty. or OF fashion, but Of health
and comfort. It is a matter that de-
serves consideration in dry weather as
well as in wet weather, and there is no
season when long dresses, reaching to
the ground, are either healthful or at
tractive. They may be graceful, but
who, while admiring the trail, does not
shudder at the thought Of it sweeping
the filthy walks. either at intervals OF
all the time, from one end of town to
the other?
The trailing skirt, the dress that
touches the ground as the wearer
walks, is a veritable dust machine that
lessons the comfort and threatens the
health of every woman.
Dust is DANGEROUS to health, and the
most dangerous is the dust Of our side
walks intermixed with microbes, for a
rigid enforcement of MISREPRESENTATION
ordinances is an impossibility. Through
this loathsome dust women, who should
be the personifcation of cleanliness
drag their dresses. stirring up a Cloud
Of bacilh to swarm upon themselves OF
those who are so unfortunate as to be
walking behind. 1t is nc uncommon
thing to see well but not wisely dressed
women trailing through the streets fol-
lowed by little children. who. open
mouthed and needless, inhale the germ
laden dust stirred up by their equally
Needless but strictly prudish or modish
mothers. Whatever the trailing dress
is or however it may look, it is a men
ace to health, a drawback to comfort
and should be superseded by the short
skirt, at least for street wear.

MORE MEN THAN WOMEN.

A correspondent inquiries if it is not
a fact that there are more women than
men in the world; whether men or
women predominate in Utah: and if the
Increase Of women is not greater than
that Of men in our population.
According to the latest census re
turns men outnumber women all over
the world.
There are more men than women in
Utah. According to the census Of 1880
there were 11O,46s men and 97,442
women in the state. Mere recent
figures show a lack Of about twenty
three women to each 100 men IN Utah,
and a shortage of five women to every
100 men in the nation at large.
Thousands Of Irish, German and
Scandinavian iassies are landed on
our shores every year, looking for
homes and mates, but in spite Of this
it is estimated that only a little over
half Of the single men Of the western
states are able TO find mates while the
number who could but do not marry
Is also alaImingly large. II California
there is a shortage of forty women to
every 100 men; in Colorado the short
age is forty-six; in Wyoming fifty
eight
According to the census returns of
1880 there mas never been a decade in

HATS OFF, IN CHURCH.

Women viii now remove their hats,
so everybody in the house can see the
preacher said the Rev. Joel A. Smith
at the Methodist revival the other
night.
The removal Of headgear in theatres
is a well established custom in this
state. Moreover, it is required by stat
ute, enforced by policemen or eOnsta-
bles, and infractions of the law are
punishable in court
This law was framed, introduced and
championed by a woman legislator, too;
and men look upon its operation in the
pIayhouses and pronounce It gOod.
But the removal Of female headgear
in churches is somewhat of an innOva-
ton. Tt has been tried in Evansville
and Muncie, Ind, but without any
marked success. There may have been
benefits accrued to the churches in
which the rule was enforced, Sut the
congregations of other and more lenient
denominations were swelle1 perceptibly.
But why should women wear their
hats in church since men are not per
mitted TO do SOP People want to see
the preacher Of course. That is one
reason they go to church. Then they
want to see each other. and the wo-
man who imagines that people attend
religious services for the so,s purpose
Of contemplating the plumes dead
birds and gaudy colors picturesquely
grouped upon her head needs must hold
them in contempt as savages.
However it may be with women, men
like to look upon the preacher when he
talks.
Let women remove their hats after
the opening hymn. BY that time they
viii have been sufficiently serutinized
and envied. Then the sermon viii be
heard as if by an assemblage Of de-
vout and civilized wors1ipers. The
mothers of the early Christian church
probably never thought of such a thing
as wearing their bonnets to meeting,
any more than the men would wear
their helmets or palm leaf sombreros
during prayer.

Strange Trick at Cards.
Mew York TribuneJ

Il saw a man do a trick with cards
once, said Godfrey Ashton. of Atlanta
Ga. at the Gilsey house, (which. all
though he assured me was wholly a
trick and that there was no second Sighr
or mind reading connected with it, has
always rested in an unexplained cuuFi
ton in my mind. There were four of Us
at supper and the man in question sent
for q pack of cards, and. handing them
to the man next him, told MIN 10 select
a card in his mind; not to take it f-0m
the pack, but to tell the other two men
what card il was he was then To
shuttle the pack and pass It TO the other
two men, who were each to thoroughly

iarge napkin had been tightly bound over
the magician's eyes and his dress coat
hung over his face with the tails tied
under mis- chin, so that his head was to
all intents and purposes. in a bag He
by his direction. was led TO the pack OF
cards and his hand placed upon il. He
then proceeded TO scatter the cards about
or four feet in diameter. He called for

drove il through and affixed one of The
scattered cards Removing his heddgpar
he asked what card my friend had
chosen The answer being the ten Of
diamonds, he turned the knife toward

of diamonds transfixed upon the point

Of me- / can not see how il was done
None of US was in collision with him,

it exactly as / tell you. Pray, Row did
