BEST KIND OF INVESTMENTS.

IT HE EVENING JOURNAL yesterday print
4 ed fine array of attractive bargains adj
vertsed by the real estate men. Real estate in
this city is a mosr desirable form of property.
There have been heavy movements in real estate
for many months and there is every reason to
believe that the interest in real estate will
tnue throughout he ear There is a large de-
mand for property in Wilmington houses are
scarce and the people find it difficult in many in
stances TO secure suitable homes. Investors hes
itate about building because of the high price OF
material and the cMortions of the lumber trust
which has raised the price of lumber that con
structon is expensive. This increases the de-
mand for houses already erected and they make
a sure and safe investment for those who desire
this kind of property. Then again, prosperous
time, create desire on the part of many citizens
10 own their own homes, and this has enhanced
the demand for property
One thing about the zeal estate men is that they
are able "to deliver the goods" We advise or
readers to consult the real estate agents when
hunting for bargains. Although the demand has
been large the advance in the value OF real estate
has not been such as to make the ownership Of
properties undesirable. AT the present price most
Of the real estate advertised in the columns Of
THE JOURNAL would bring good returns on
the money spent for their possession.

PREPARING
RENT LISTS
Real Estate Men Have Busy
Season Ahead Of
Them

For sale lists are being prepared by
all the real estate agents and nearly all
Of them are busy answering inquiries
from possible buyers. Nearly every
day sales are made for more and more
residents of the city are making up
their minds to quit being tenants and to
become their own landlord. The abnor-
NAL price OF rents is responsible for
this and conditions have now become
such that the workman making moder-
ate wages finds it impossible to pay the
sums asked by all owners. It is far
cheaper to buy house and pay for it
in installments than to pay high rents
year in and year out.
Seldom have there been so many
offices for rent in this city. A walk
along Market street shows a sign on
almost every office building and by the
twenty-fifth Of March there will be
many changes among those at pre-
sent occupying Market street quarters.
The completion Of the largest office
buildings in the city, and the occupy
ing of it by the company that now has
office quarters in almost every office
building in the city is responsible for
many Of the changes. At present this
company has some OF the most desira-
BILE locations in Wilmington and when
they are vacated those in less desira-
BILE quarters will make a rush to get
Into them.
Real estate transactions for the week
were brisk and they are expected to
continue so until after March %. Those

bureau are as follows;

Boys On the Streets.

Editor The Evening Journal.
In permitting their boys 10 frequent
the streets so lave at night wilmington
parents are training their children for
the Jail and the renitentary instead Of
positions Of rectitude and respect in the
community. IL Is greatly TO be regret
ted that 50 many boys, ranging in age
from 10 70 "a years are to be found upon
a number Of the principal sire Is Of the
city as late as II o'clock without older
responsible escorts, and apparently with
cut any purpose except to idle time
Boys who are thus permitted to 80
upon tho streets at unusual hours with
out a definite purpose cannot help but
form habits that viii result to their ulM-
mate harm.
There are scores Of we'll ntentioned par
ents and guardians who desire TO train
their children well, but who, for some
reason, are not successful. Their boys
viii frequent the streets at night in spite
OF all efforts TO prevent them from doing
So But they are the exception. When
the home DIS managed in a manner to make
it attractive and comfortable for the
children, where there is not continual
fault finding and nagging, the boys. as a
rule, will not wish 70 be upon the streets
in the evenings, especially if they are re-
strained from doing So
This ds a serious question for some OF
the homes Of this city, as a glance at our
streets at a late hour In the evening often
demonstrates.
Yours Respectfully,

Editorial Opinion

Deserved Praise for Retiring Senator.
A local Democratic contemporary in
speaking Of Senator Allee's service In
the senate says "he has no doubt from
his standpoint done his best Why
not from any Republican standpoint
We never saw a man apparently trying
harder 10 serve the people. He intro
duced and pushed bills for the eree-
ton Of public buildings in towns which
had long despaired Of ever getting any
buildings. Got double the money for
creeks that were IN some cases locally
asked for. And even humored local
sentiment by having government au-
thorities come down here TO report on
a Joking proposition to dig canal
through miles Of hard dry dirt to Dover.
Why not give a retiring public official
a decent word or none.--Deiaware state

Unauestionably the election of the

is -yerA nreditable selection. He Is
a clean gentleman of high moral
character and integrity, and can be
depended on TO represent the State at

speeches it may be said that many
members Of Congress take very little
part In the daily discussions, and more
time Is talked away there now than the
