THE time'is coming, and it is not
in the far future, when only the rich
can afford to live in rented houses"
stated we'll known real estate man
to the Evening Times representative
yesterday. my firm are gradually
making speciality of buying property
and building homes. After while we
will not be induced under any circun1-
stances to let a house out to rent. We
will not be in that business. and with
the march of the time other real es-
tate men are quitting the renting bus
mess. There are individuals who own
large pieces of property who have built
rent houses on it and there win be
individuals who will continue to do
so. but this class of men is becoming
scarcer and scarcer every day. With
the different avenues for the invest
ment OF money, men with money are
beginning to learn that the renting
out OF houses is not a safe investment.
They must figure on the taxes and in
surance, water and the like-on houses
unrented for weeks at a time; upon
the wear and tear-and, by the way,
this Is a very important item, for the
wear and tear on q rented house is 50
per cent greater than the wear and
tear on the house occupied by the
average home owner; and then there
fs the man who does not pay his rent
all these things are being taken into
account by the men who have in the
past rented houses, and many of them
have arrived at the conclusion that
they can find better and safer modes of
investment.
In the larger cities of the country
You will not find nice cottages occu-
pied by renters, as rule. In fact, the
renter occupies places that are out Of
the way and SO situated that it is not
In demand for other purposes and
could not be sold to q man seeking a
home. It will be that way in this
country before the lapse Of a great
many years.
There are great opportunities Just
at the present time for the poor man
who desires to occupy his own home.
He can pay for It with the same money
that he has been paying out for rent.
All It requires is small sum down to
insure deal, to create in the mind of
the dealer the belief that. the pur-
chaser means to keep up his payments
and. along with that, keep up the
place as a home, in order that its
value will not depreciate. These op-
portunftfes will not always be present,
and the man who is now paying rent
should begin to think about owning
his home. II he is the head of fam

Whitelaw Reid, the American am
bassador to Great Britain, was born
near Xenia, Ohio, on Oct. q, 1887. He
! was graduated from Miami university
in 1856. He became city editor of THE
Cincinnati Gazette" but at the out
break of the war Joined the staff of
Gen. Morris. and later that of Gen.
Rosecrans. In 1869 he became man
aging editor of THE New York Trib-
une," and upon the nomination of
Horace Greeley for the presidency. in
1872, Mr.. Reid became editor-in-chief.
When the former died, in the fall of
that year, Mr.. Reid became chief pro-
:prietor as we'll as editor of the Trib-
1ne. Mr.. Reid accepted from Presi-
dent Harrison the appointment of min
lister to France. In 1892 he was NOM
mated for the vice presidency by the
republican national convention. In
1897 he represented the president ut
the celebration Of Queen Victoria's
jubilee, and the following year he was
one OF the commissioners who negoti-
alter the treaty Of peace with Spain. In
1902 he represented the president at
1he coronation OF King Edward VII.

to spend delightful afternoon in it

repairing to it for the purpose OF being
unmitigatedly lazy. The fact is. art
and comfort are not synonymous
terms, by any means. Many an artis-

characterless. because 1t bears no
stamp Of personality. Yet correct
style and comfort can, and ought to,

A Woman's Signature.

WVAA0u 0AS00SO1Cs
Good taste forbids that a woman
should sign herself Mrs" except in
parenthesis, and even this permission
seems TO carry an apologetic air.
Women dislike to use this form, but
without it they are exposed to risk
in correspondence with strangers of
being mistaken for spinsters or for
men. There is feeling Of common
dation, Of Mrs. Lily Langtry's spirit of
independence which has rebelled
against good form and impelled her
to prefix the Mrs. to her name in all
correspondence. There's secret Joy in
seeing others break social rules that
are felt to be odious, but that one
doesn't dare break ones self. And
on the merits of the question, why
shouldn't the name by which a lady
is known when you are: introduced to
her be an appropriate name for her
to sign!

"A rough house in Cripple Creek is a pink tea to Pals" Pals is said to be the greatest melodrama ever written in one act.

 velops enough of the pathetic quality to incapacitate the members of the com pany while rehearsing it, but it is vouched for on no less an authority than Louis Evan Shipman that during the re- hearsal of his latest play, "On Parole, at Lyric hall, New York, Miss Charlotte Walker, who Is to play the leading part, was so greatly affected by one of the scenes in the last act that she gave way to her feelings and wept stopping the rehearsal for the time being.

 The Wallace Show has again bean ea . larged this year, and new noveltiss and features will be seen for the hrs. ,in7e in this country under the Walla, ten.s.
 h past seasons the Wallace Show has been so large that 1t was the equal of any similar enterprise in magnitude, and this season it will be even more bewildes ing foi the laymen, for it has been ma- 'eIialiy increased.
 Many more cars have been added to the Wallace trains. It may be readily seen that the Wallace Circus proposes to re- tain it's place in the foremost rank of genteel amusements. Not only is this true regarding it's size. but also of it's performance. Many exclusively new and original features have been secured and, though the Wallace Show has always pre- sented a fvst-cass performance, it prom ises to present an unusually attractive programme this year.
 In the first two acts of I<law & Er- hangers production of "rhe Ham Tree" Mcintyre and Heath, the famous negro impersonators, appear as minstrels. In the last act, in the development of a part of the plot of the story, they are seen as an Indian rajah and rance.
