A BANKER on REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

In recent communication to which
a Philadelphia banker attached his
name, he speaks of the manner IN
which he has invested recently, and
purposes to continue to invest, if he
has funds, and that part of his in
come which he is able to save. He
has been tempted to put much of this
income into land and has yielded with
out regret to the temptation. Chief
among the reasons this banker gives
for making such investment is his
feeling that there is no danger of con-
fiscation of real property by any legis-
lative enactment or any socialistic ag-
itation. The farmers of the country
in his opinion will see to it that no
political party approaches land in the
same spirit in which some associa-
lions have recently been disposed to
approach the corporations.
No doubt the explanation given by
this banker in part explains the un>
precedented disposition not only in
and near New York city, but through
out many parts of the country, to make
investment in real property. One OF

advantage over a pretty girl who can
only chatter insipidly.
That English beauty is declining is
the impression given by recent exhibi-
tons of later-day portraits. At the
first show of the newly-formed mod
ern ociety of Portrait Painters" the
people who have their likenesses hung
appear to be a very mediocre lot,
judged from an artistic standpoint.
No rivals to the ravishing beauties
who graced the academy wallis in the
days of Reynolds, Romney and Law
renee are to be found at the portrait
shows today. The modern school of
portrait painters appears to have
contempt for mere facial loneliness
and to concentrate its efforts on car
rangement," "chiaroscuro," "drapery,"
etc.
On the other hand, the miniaturists
and society photographs show most ex-
quisite types of beauty, and remind
one that Lady Hamilton and the Gun
ming sisters have still their representa-
tives in England.

Stage and Sta&eland

Frederick Burton, the clever char
acter actor who plays Bub Hicks with
the Eastern college Widow" COM
pany, is full of singular anecdotes.
Here is one of them.
I've only been in Jail once since
becoming an actor. 1t happened in
small town in Illinois. Things don't
often happen there; but this did. 1
was playing the Rube town marshal
with Rube show. However, would
have you know that it wasn't my per-
Torrance of the character nor the
character of my performance that
sent me to Jail, but rather because we
were unfortunate in reaching town
when the hotel and all the boarding
houses were crowded
We arrived from Chicago late in the
afternoon very tired and hungry and
found the entire police force at the
station to meet us. We knew it was
the police force because he showed us
his badge.
"The towns chuck full, and guess
you uns'll find no place to put up"
said the police force.
Notwithstanding this discouraging
information we proceeded to the Roy
al Palace hotel, and after much per-
suasive talk and the presentation of
few passes to the theatre our mana
ger succeeded in having cots placed
in the parlor for the ladies. Being
unable to secure accommodations for
the men, we went to the Op'ry House
that evening not knowing where we
would make our bed.
After the performance the police
force suggested that we sleep in the
calaboose. We accepted his kind in
vitation. The ladies went to their
cots and the actors went to Jail.
Here's another that Burton tells on
himself.
At the opening performance of our
return engagement in Boston this sea-
son, received the following doubtful
compliment:
While was ION" in the first ACT

James Brander Matthews, the dis

plified spelling, was born in New Or
leans, February 81 1852. He was
graduated from Columbia college in
1871 and was admitted to the bar the
same year. He soon abandoned the
legal profession for literature in which
