THE WEEK IN REALTY

Many sales reported last week showed no falling
off in the demand for properties in the West Side
section above Fifty-ninth-st. There appears TO be
an unusually vigorous demand for parcels in all
lines in this part of the city, and it is generally
thought that it will double in the near future. The
attractions of the West Side above Fifty ninth-st
are many. and they seemingly becoming better
known and appreciated In the course of the week

THE GLoRIEs OF THE PAN"
REASONS WHY NO ONE SHOULD FAIL TO
VISIT THE EXPOSITION.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t one OF the late visitors to the
Pan" that should miss the privilege. The
inspiration Of seeing the ruddy glow, followed by
the full splendor of the evening illumination Is
worth ten times what the trip costs.
The exhibits themselves are in most instances
notable Mexico has done most creditably. having
good displays OF her products in the Mines, Manu-
factures. Agricultural and Forestry buildings and
has sent a competent commissioner and twenty as
sistants to represent her interests. The other
Latin American republics have not risen TO the
occasion well
Our manufactures well shown and
neither the farmer. merchant nor clerk can afford
to miss the uplift afforded by this record of
national advance.
Splendid. indeed is the Electrical Building. Per-
haps there the Nernst filament incandescent
lamp is the greatest novelty.
The Government Building has features added
since the Worlds Fair.
The Filipino settlement. with its shivering
American citizens who do not enjoy cold
autumn mornings 0ittle wonderD, is well worth
study. The poor fellows delighted to find
any American who talk Spanish. Even the
mother with an infant one month old seemed to
enjoy the Que le vaya bien." The whole Midway
seems more refined than at Chicago.
The artistic color scheme of the buildings and the
landscape gardening have been dwelt often
to need reference. They are both happy concep-
tons
In the Manufactures Building the Tiffany and
7 the Gorham exhibits perhaps the best.
A feeling Of deep satisfaction perVadeS even

aside from this there is the patriotic duty in up
holding the hands OF the Buffalonians. from Presi-
dent Milburn down. who have put forth such
splendid effort. Is it reasonable that the lament

away from the exposition? Certainly the beloved

THE KINGS WILD BOARS.
From The London Chronicle.

The Kings wild boars from Windsor have been
scattered 10 the far ends of the earth. and have
created good deal of interest and even excite
ment In some places. The pair sent out to the
South Australia Zoo al Adelaide were confined
In the hippo" house. but while the SOW took
kindly TO her new quarters the boar lost no time
in resenting his confinement. He appears to have
broken his way through bars that were hitherto
strong enough 10 hold hippopotami in check. and
then careered madly up and down the Geological
Gardens Keepers and visitors few up the trees
and over the fences but one man was caught by
the maddened animal and knocked about severely
before he was rescued. Later the boar was
trapped and safely penned up, but the Zoo author
ities arc plainly nervous about their acQuisi-
ton.

USHER LEAVES THE CHRONICLE
La Crosse Editor Resigns TO Enter
Business at Milwaukee.

La Crosse. Wis Jan. S.-The Chron.
icle this morning publishes a card
signed by Ellis b. Ushed announcing
his resignation as editor Of that paper
and as president Of the company
which publishes The Chronicle. The
card intimates that Mr. Usher may
leave La Crosse

Chronicle was ,rganized into a stock
company and among the prominent
members OF the company which pub
fishes II are +. p Hixon. l.. G. Colman,
George +. Gund. State Senator Levi
Withee and Congressman j. j Esch.
Before the formation Of the stock com
pany The Chronicle was a gold demo.
cratic paper. but since it's incorpora-
ton II has been sUalwart republican
organ. The cause Of Mr. Ushers re.
tirement is said to be- that the field

that would Justify large investment
in The Chronicle. It's success Is not

Gently disclosed that railways are as

ON the basis of their mileage ~ the
state, white the average assessment
Of farm property was considerably
less, about 33 per cent, in some
counties hoinE as low as 20 per cent.
This inequality IN taxation resulting
from unequal assessments is often in
voked as a ground for judicial inter
ference.
1T is clear that inequality ii tax

equality in assessment as by inc.
quality in the rate of the tax,
I'm view OF the dit6culties, both IN
the taxation upon value and upon the

most Just and fair method OF taxa
tion is upon the net earnings upon the
mileage basis. Under such form of
taxation the railway company would
