A Building Boom in Washington.

The city of Washington has expert
enced a really wonderful building
boom the past summer. A number of
immense fats have been erected-n-
deed the Capital City may almost be
said to have gone fat crazy. Prices
generally have also caught the inflated
spirit that is born of rosy anticipa-
tons. Rents have been given a rise
varying from 10 to so per cent; the col
ored people who do most of the domes-
tic labor in that vicinity are reported
to be holding their services at a higher
figure than ever before; and the coal
dealers, not to be outdone, have ele-
waited the price Of anthracite 70 s. per
ton. The established price for the rent
of flats is now so per room per month.
This does not include any furnishings.
There are many who believe that build
ing operations have been largely over
done in the capital and that a very
good sized slump in prices will result
before the winter is far advanced.

Financial Loss Of Pan.Americad Exposition

The indications are that the Pan
American Exposition will close its
doors with a good big deficit TO be ac-
counted for The assassination of the
all chance for financial success. The
latest estimates place the total loss at
more than $4,000. 600. The 81 500, 900 con-
tributed by the stockholders will be a
total loss. while the contractors will
suffer 10 the extent Of 81. 900. 600, and 20
per cent. of the first mortgage bonds
as well as the whole Of the second
mortgage Will be forfeited.
y year Of marked prosperity like the
one now drawing to close, is almost
as bad for big exposition as hard
times. Men have been 50 busily en-
gagged in the promotion of profitable
enterprises that they have found little
time to devote to sightseeing.
The management has been able and

great enterprise that has done SO much
to advertise their city. and the people
