PREPARING FOR THE CAR.
HIS Expected VISIT To PARIS THIS
MONTH HAS AROUSED ALL FRANCE.
Paris. August II.

Palis. August II
The coming visit of the Emp ror ana Empress
of Russia causes genuine satisfaction. 1t graft
fes French pride, il adds to the prestige and
popularity Of President I.oubet ana it strength
ems the Waldeck- Rousseau Cabinet. which. by
the last week in september, when the Franco
Russian f5tes may be expected to be at their
height will have been longer in office than any
other Ministry of the Third Republic. Since the
first visit to France of the Emperor and En-
press of Russia. in October 1896 there have
been many changes in the respective vantage
grounds of nations. due To the Spanish -Ameri-
can War. the South African War, the allied
campaign in China, BOkhara complications, the
proposed renewals of commercial treaties be
tween the powers forming the Triple Alliance
and The desire of France to secure complete lib
crty of action in regard tn Morocco
For the Franco Russian alliance to- retain an
effective value in the French mind. it became
urgent that the compact symbolzed by the ex-
change of visits Of the Car and President Felix
Faure should be confirmed by meetings between
the car and President I.oubet. After the de
parture of the car in September. il is highly
proba BILE that President Loubet will return the
visit by going to st. Petersburg in October or
November. In financial circles it is already
predicted that these visits will be followed by
still another Russian loan. and every effort is
press upon the minds of French merchants and
manufacturers the great possibilities that are
open to them iii Russia. French economists are
studying tine wants and fancies of the Russian
markets. and at the Ministry of Commerce
every effort is being made to supplement- the
political alliance with Russia by Franco-Ru
sian commercial alliance.
The diplomatic success of bringing about the
s., ond visit To France of the Emperor Nicholas
III is due To President Lo'Ibet himself. The OF
fetal negotiations only lasted fortnight. but
the personal negotiations began six months ago
The President received visit at the Elysee
Palace from the Grand Duke Vladimir Presi-
dent Loubet spoke frankly of the disappont-
ment that had been caused because the CZar
had not been able to come tn Paris during the
exposition of 1900 and asked the Grand Duke
Vladimir who ENJOYS the full confidence oi
his nephew. the Emperor. whether the coming
autumn would not be propitious time for

NEW APARTMENTS.
,ANY HANDSOME STRUCTURES BUILD
: ING, But TIE DEMAND CONTINUES
TO EXCEED TIE SUPPLY.


These are busy days in the real estate Offices
where West Side apartments are a specially
There are hundreds of large apartment houses
in the district and and palatial structures
are in course of erection. but the demand seems
to be far in excess of the supply. and in many
of the houses which will not be finished for sew
eral months the best and most expensive fats
are already rented. The houses which were con-
sidered modern few years ago but which
are not provided with the most recent improve
ments, not sought after eagerly as the
newest buildings. but even these have rented
readily this season, and at prices which sat
isfactory to the owners.
"It is no easy matter to deal with the custom
ers who crowd the real estate offices at this time
of the year" said busy agent Many of them
know just what they want and recognize il when
they it. but a large number of fiat dwellers
know only that they are dissatisfied and want
a change and find fault while they make their
bargain. continue to do after they have moved
in and keep ii up until the year has expired and
then they begin over again.
I'VE have had people take up time off and
on for weeks, and finally agree to take an apart
ment and then back out and look further be
cause there physician to their liking in
the neighborhood or because they told that
the prices in the nearby market were higher
than they were in the district where they We're
then living. These people who incurably
afflicted with the moving habit. not trOu-
blesome in respects. the people from
the country who about to take their first
degree. They have never lived in apartment
and everything is new to them. and the ques-
tions they ask would disEel the good nature of
anybody except a veteran real estate man"
But the modern apartment house has devel-
oped a new class of patrons for these business
men. They want the best that can be procured
and in many instances price is object This
class has increased steadily. and houses have
been built to meet the demand. until there
to he nothing more to add to make them
comfortable and beautiful Among the apart
ments which will be ready for occupancy within
a few months there many which will range
In price from $1,000 TO 5000 a year. Many
of these are already rented. and the owners have
no doubt that all will be occupied soon after the

houses are completed. In all of these houses the
heating. ventilating. lighting and cooling plants
are of the most modern style they have studios
and roof gardens the top and automobile
storage and charging plants in the easements
There are apartments with large conservatories
and in some houses there are great rooms in
which tenants may entertain guests at a ball or
reception for which their own rooms would be
too small. The bathrooms are roomy and the
tiles which cover walls ana floors are covered
with plate glass. The floors are all inlaid ana
the woodwork in the various rooms is mahog-
any. oak. white enamel and birdseye maple. The
halls wainscoted and many of the dining
rooms finished with ceiling beams and high
wainscotng. in Dutch style. Every apartment
has telephones to the office and for long distance
service; there fireproof safes in the main
bedroom of each suite and glass lined refrig-
orators. supplied with cold air from the ice
plant, make ii unnecessary to keep ice in the
place. large part of the house is divided into
sleeping rooms for the servants who cannot be
accommodated in the apartments. and for these
there bath and dining rooms. and servants

rooms in the basement to the roof. In several
of these houses the garbage is through

there the garbage in the form of ice is loaded
and carted away.
Besides the improvements in the apartments
proper. these houses contain also many luxuri-
Gus features which are common to all occupants
of the houses There are restaurants for the use
of tenants who do not keep house." and gor-
geousy appointed dining rooms in the houses
where there is a hotel annex. In of the new
houses in upper Broadway such a dining room
will be the tenth floor. 1t will be a great
garden. commanding fine view of upper New
York.
There is class of people in New York for
whom the polished marble. stained glass and
FURNISHED metal in an apartment house have
no attraction. They prefer lofty. cheerful rooms
cleanliness and perfect sanitary arrangements.
To meet the demands of these people. the Astor
estate has erected fine building near the other
large Broadway houses. with apartments of
seven to twelve rooms They comfortable
and roomy. and built with a view to the
home rather than the hotel effect and the fact
that this class Of apartments is also easily rent

NAMED unsxpended ID should be re-
turned 10 the candidates" The candi-

Douglas. On October 81, 1891, each
Of these three gentlemen had returned
to bin three dollars and fifty cente.

being handed bis three dollars and
hay cents, said 1t would buy
him 8 pair OF new shoes,

he had something left froia tbs wreck" The
cost Of this primary was $3.50 for foar pre-
eincts Now we have FIVE, two in the Third
