The midnight ride of Paul Revere is one of the
most romantic and thrilling incidents of the
opening days Of the American Revolution, and
Boston is to be congratulated on its patriotism
and civic pride IN raising the money necessary
to purchase the old Revere homestead and pre-
serve It as a landmark in the city which led the
way to American independence.

The Winnipeg strikers and their sympathizers
who have been engaged in showering bricks
stones and mud on the streetcars, cutting the
wires and opening the switches accidentally
furnish reason to doubt the truth of Byron's
line:
The cold in cline are cold in blood.

If Assemblynan Campbelrs bill becomes law
and a fine of $3.50 for each twenty-four hours
the subway remains unventilhted Is assessed. II
seems likely that the attempt to ventilate by
means Of office fans at the stations will be dis
continued in favor of something that will ven
tilate
Perhaps It will be found that Minister Whites
resignation resembles that of Chancellor Won
Bulow.

CathedrnI,s Title Chain.

There is one thing in particular in St
Patrick'S cathedral in New York that
you cannot see In any other building
in the city. if indeed in the country. Ii
is framed sheet of paper hanging on
the wall Of the southern entrance that
contains the complete chain Of title Of
the property on which the edifice
stands from the time Ii was first sold
until the church authorities bought IT,.
The only reason for its being there SO
far rs any one knows Is 10 put n stop
TO the old story that the property was
originally purchased 10y the church for
a dollar. To settle this point the chain
of title shows how much was paid for
il in the beginning, and from that
point on each change of ownership is
accompanied by the price il was sold
for

rarity Of the silver dollar of 1904. the
most generally accepted one being the
one which accounts for the scarcity by
saying that they We're sent To Africa To
pay the soldiers engaged in war be
tween this country and 1ripoli There
were only 1880 OF them coined An
other version OF the story which ac-
counts for their rarity IS that a vessel

deals under way that will probably be closed within the next week that will give new impetus to the transfer of property. ]. j. Walker. one of the pioneer real estate dealers of Ensiey in speaking of the continual develop ment of Ensley, states that he has no less than twenty-five inquiries on his register today for houses to rent or purchase and that other real estate men are reporting the same condition.
 sThe matter of renting desirable home in Ensley Is out of the question until more houses are built. and people are seeking homes to purchase out right in order to get a residence in the city. Last year was record breaker in building. but the opinion of real estate men and contractors agree that there will be more building in Ensley during 1906 than ever before. This is a significant fact, if true, and the truth of 1t seems to be beyond doubt There Is a well defined belief that much development in the way of more industrial plants will be started early in the spring. This belief has had it's effect on the investors in Ens- ley property.
