Foreclosures Decline.
1.-THE story Of i've consecutive
years Of declining foreclosures on
non-farm dwellings is probably the
brightest spot In the real estate pic
ture." the Review said In its survey,
stating that such foreclosures
dropped 80 per cent In 1899, as COM
pared with 1884. For tha third sue
cessive year real estate which has
been acquired by savings and loan
associations declined in volume, an
other important favorable factor.
The rate Of increase in savings re-
ported by savings and loan associa-
tions was better in 1898 than in
1887.
Another favorable trend referred
to is the continuous expansion Of
the coverage Of the Federal home
building service plan, which was
created and developed by the bank
board to assist in the proper PLAN
ming, sound construction and ade-
quate financing of small homes.

Still another favorable factor In
the building trend, the Review
article stated, Is the progress being
made In some States toward lower
taxation Of real estate. It said that
at least nine States were now using
an overall limit on the levy to
spread the tax base and to restrict
easy sources Of taxation funds for
unlimited spending" Fourteen
states provide for homestead tax
exemptions, five OF these being
added in 1898.

SCORES BIGGEST SUCCESS
lContinued from Pape

Weber's Der Freischutz," one of the
first great Operas by German Com
poser. Principal singers heard in DER
Freischutz," were Helena Maybe and
Pattie Yates, sopranos, and John Pow
ell, tenor. The act was well sung and
interpreted. The third part of the
programme offered "Das Rheingold,"
by Wagner, the most difficult work
heard. Principal roles were sung by
Ora Wake, soprano; Sarah Mckenzie,
contralto; Eugene Greene, soprano,
and William Richardson, information
ally known baritone. "Das Rhein-
gold' proved to be highlight of the
evening. The final number on the
programme was the second act of
"Erminie," by Jakobowski, and leading
roles were sung by Matilda Birch, sop
rano; Emanule Mansfield, tenor; Lii
liam Harrison, soprano; Jesse Reddick,
baritone, and special contralto parts
by Una McCatty Bell. 'Erminie" won
special favor because of it's large well
trained chorus, its popularity, and the
brilliant scenery and costumes, which
help to make the illusion that is
always expected in an opera perform
ance.
James w. Henderson was stages
director, and John Powell, business
supervisor. Other persons in the cast
were: Vera Hodge, Elizabeth Wheat
