A MORE ACTIVE MARKET EXPECTED Indications Which Point to a Re- newed Interest of Investors. SOME IMPROVEMENTS During the past year a trial has been made of the plan of securing from archi- tects, by competiticn, designs for public buildings. It is likely that Mr. James Knox Tayler, the supervising architect of the treasury, under whose immediate super- vision a test is being made of the practical werkings of the law, will have something to report to the Secretary of the Treasury in regard to the advantages and disad- vantages of the law. Possibly Secretary Gage will conclude to submit to Congress reccmmendations with the view of making the law more effective. It will be recalled that a law was passed some five years ago authorizing the Secre- tary of the Treasury to invite the competi- tion uf architects in the preparation of plans for the erection of public buildings. At that time and since then, with the ex- ception of the present year, all such plans were made in the ofhce of the supervising architect, although the current work of the office was in itself, as stated by suc- ecesive occupants of the place, sufficient to take the entire time of the head of the office. Not Worthy of the Nation. One result of this system was a certain monotony in the government architecture, not to say mediocrity, and the feeling was general that the structures erected by the government were not worthy of the dignity of the nation. The law of February 20, 1893, represented in part the effort made to correct this state of affairs. It simply authorized the Sec- retary of the Treasury to obtain by compc- tion amcng architects designs for public builcings. Mr. Carlisle, who was then at the head of the department, was of the opinion that the law was so defective that it could rot be carried out, but when Sec- retary Gage came into office he said that while the law might be defective, the best plan was to enforce it, and in that way make plain the defects. Co-Operation of Architects. In this view he met the hearty co-opera- tion of Mr. Taylor, the supervising archi- tect, who is in favor of some measure of this character. One difficulty in carrying out the law iy that no provision is made for paying unsuccessful contestants in the Proposed competition for time and labor spent in the preparation of the plans. Such, however, was the interest taken by leading architects throughout the country that they decided to take part in the competitions without compensation, in ordcr that the law might be given a trial. In accordance with the provisions of the law, three competitions have been held and the awards made. Plans for an immigra- tion building on Ellis Island have been accepted and a contract made for its con- struction. Plans for post office buildings at Camden, N. J., and at Norfolk, Va., hav; also been accepted. It is thought th sufficient trial has been made of the iaw, and if the deficiencies are such as to make necessary further action by Congress the attention of the body can be called to the subjeci. Buyers in the Market. Business is picking up, is th2 opinion now very generally expressed by real estate dealers and others. When those who so ex- press themsely2s are asked what reason they have for such a belief the response is that buyers are beginning to make their ap- pearance in the market again—or, rather, to some extent possible buyers, as they are mainly people who are inquiring about property. It 1s the belief that thes: in- quiries are to materialize in the near future in purchases. At any rate, whatever sig- nificance {s to be attached to these indica- tions, there is no doubt that a better feeling prevails. It is believed by some dealers that the volume of business this fall will rzach good proportions, and while a great rush is not anticipated, yet it is thought that an en- couraging beginning has been made and that realty will be more in demand during the coming months than has been the cas2 for several years past. The Kind of Property. It is not known, of course, what particu- lar phase the expected activity will take— whether the demand will be for suburban property or for city property, or, perhaps, for both. Some are of the opinion that peo- ple will seek income-paying properties, while others are inclined to the belief that jand having a speculative valu2 will be pop- ular. it is thought that one of the effects of the development of rapid-transit street rail- reads will become manifest, and according to some what is known as the intermediat> property, or that lying between the busi- ness center and the suburban sections, will feel the influence of ths change. ‘The fall in rents is explained in part by the increased facilities in reaching distant points, which, it is claimed, make houses erected in sections formerly remote from the business center now comparatively near. The reduction in rents is also ac- counted for by-the scaling in the rate of living, which has aff2cted everything dur- ing the past few years, It is also claimed that whatever may be said about the ease of reaching” distant points along the lines of modern street rail- roads, still people will not change thir preferences in regard to localities, and so it is urged that what is known as intermedi- ate property will continua to be sought after by those who follow their own inclina- tions in selecting the 1 padia se th location of their Some Improvements.

WHOLESALE PRODUCH MARKET. No Changes in Prices During the Past _ Week, There has been absolutely no chang> in the wholesale produce market during the past week.

Clayton-Bulwer Treat ‘The London Spectator in its issue today says: ‘The United States‘ is learning with in- dignation the details of what its troops had to endure before Santiago and is inclined te make # scapegoat of Mr. Alger. Ob- viously Mr. Alger is not a Carnot, but it is hardly fair to put all the blame on him. The real cause of the misery and muddle was the absurd belief, so widely entertained in America, that you can make war with- out preparation. Amateur soldiering, es- pecially amateur transports and commis- sariat, §s cruel work.” The Spectator argues strongly for the abolition of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and says: “A movement must. soon take place in America which will inevitably cause the United States to trip up against the treaty and make a vehement demand for its ab- rogation. That demand, unless it be prop- erly understood and explained beforehand, might seem here unfair and unfriendly.” The paper argues that America's new eastern possession will make a canal a necessity. The result of the treaty has been a veto of the canal, no company be- ing willing to build it unless supported by 2 powerful government. In case of an Anglo-American war the canal would give America the greatest »d- vantage, but such a war {is not to be con- templated. If England should be at war with another power, the canal in the hands of the Americans would be neutral, where- fore England could quickly use it to re-en- force her Pacific fleet: If the canal should be controlled by Nicaragua or Colombia, in case of war, France or Russia might se- cure possession of it. The spectator suggests that England will not wait for America to ask for the ab- rogation of the treaty, but will arrange a treaty by which England and America will mutuatly bind themselves to allow no power save the United States to make a canal, the Unitéd States to keep it open on equal terms with all nations at peace with the United States. The paper says: “If the diplomats must have a quid pro quo there are a dozen Ca- nadian points which might be set against the tearing up of the treaty.” PRINTERS’ SHORT HOUR DAY. United Typothetae of America Indis~ posed to Act Upon the Matter Now. After struggling through three long exec- utive sessions, during whick the nine-hour work day was the subject of warm debate, the United Typothetae of America yester- day at Milwaukee disposed ef the question for the present at least By the passage of the following resolutions: ne “Whereas the question of establishins a nine-hour work day im the printing busi- ness ‘has been brought to the attention of this convention by committees appointed by the International Printing Pressmen’s and Assistants’ Union and the Internation- al Typographical Union, and “Whereas this conventiom has given the question careful and earnest:deliberation in all its bearings; therefore, be it “Resolved, By the United Typothetae of America, that this body does not deem it practicable at the present time to recom- mend to its members any change in the ate of labor which constitute a day’s work. “Resolved, That the secretary of this con- vention be instructed to forward copies of these resolutions to the president of the International Printing Pressmen’s and As- sistants’ Union and to Mr. W.

Opinion Expressed by the Universal Peace Union at Mystic. At the third day of the thirty-second an- nual convention of the Universal Peace Union yesterday at Mystic, Conn., letters were read by President Love, among them being one from Charles Schley, brother of Admiral Schley and a relative of Miss Jessie Schley, who went to Madrid on an errand of peace. The letter expressed re- gret at and denounced as false the stories published to the effect that the young lady went to Spain without the consent of her parents. A cablegram was read from the Austrian Peace Society, which said: “Bless your work.” At the business session the election ‘of officers resulted as follows: President, Al- fred H. Love of Philadelphia, and seventy- five vice presidents in various parts of the ited States and Europe; secretary, Charles P, Hastings, Philadelphia; three corresponding secretaries, Belva A! Lock- wood, Washington, D. C.; C. V. W. Clarke, Ogden, Utah, and Herbert W. Rathbun of Mystic. ; A committee reported ten resolutions, the substance of which was as follows: That they were thankful that the war was over; that General Sherman was right when he said “War is hell,” and that hu- manity demands that reason and arbitra- tion be substituted for the military system. They were also convinced that war breeds national insanity; that war is the enemy of the poor people, and that war for conquest means imperialism. Attar of Roses. From London Public Opinion. Since the emancipation of the Balkan provinces the manufacture of attar of roses has become a great industry in Bul- garia, and has been taken up on a large scale in Germany. We have all been ac- customea to cornect the fabrication of at- tar of roses with Persia and Syria, and even now India and Constantinople furnish probably the largest markets for it; but although the art of making it was discoy- ered in Persia, the manufacture has nearly or quite died out and the center of the business is now the country about Kazan- lik, on the south slope of the Balkans, close to the Skipka, or Wild Rose Pass, famous in the history of the Russo-Turkish war. "The rose-growing belt is situated at an aver- age altitude of 1,000 feet above the sea, and extends to a length of about seventy miles, wita an average breadth of ten miles. On this ground are produced annually from 5,000,000,000 to 6,000,000,000 rose blossoms. The number of varieties cultivated is very small. Ninety per cent of all the blossoms are taken from a bushy variety or Tose, cestor from which the infinit2 variety of hybrid perpetual roses derive a large part sot theirs blood. Of the remaining 10 per cent, a part are gathered from the white musk rose, which is frequently planted as a hedge around the flelis of pink Damas- cena, while the rest are furnished by a dark-red variety of Damascena. Other sorts of roses have been tried, but some yield no attar at all, and others give an essence having the perfume of violets, or pineapples, or hyacinth, rather than of roses. CHILDREN’S MANNERS. No Easy Task to Teach Them to Act Correctiy. From the Philadelphia Times. It is by no means a light task to teach a family of youngsters to comport themse! with decorum at the dinner table, but if the lessons of politeness and good breeding at meal time are early instilled in the elder BTR BE i 0 Se oe | younger ones, who naturally fmitate the example set them. Though a somewhat fatiguing process, | materfamilias should have her young brood | down to dine with her as soon as it is at all | feasible, for she is obviousiy the best qualt- | fied person to train them in nice habits. | Where there is no baby to be looked after | in the nursery, it saves time and simplifies | matters if nurse helps to wait at the mid- | day meal, as she can cut up the little one meat while the other is carving. The } should be hot to start with, for there is nothing more unappeuzing than a half. cold, greasy dinner, and many little ones are very s igishing what is on their plates. While endeavoring not to let the youngsters grow dainty, i think it a great mistake 10 attempt to force matters of diet. To some children, for instance, fat is absolutely repugnant, and to insist on their swallowing it 1s to render their entire din- ner unsavory. If, however, there is only a slight dislike to some food, such as greens or zice, for example, and 2 very smail por- tion is carefully mixed with the seat and potatoes, it is often eatcn unnoticed by the child. Then, too, I have frequently found, if no opposition {s made when a certain article of diet is rejected, after a few days, or a few months, fiuding tha: he is not forced to eat il, the youngster will forget his prejudice, or, as is somtimes the case, tastes change, and what he formerly dis- liked may later on appeal zo his palate. It is important that each child should have a comfortable chair, if there is ta be no fidgeting at table; cushions to raise the height often prove insecure and slippery, while to be seated too low on a chair is dis- unctly uncomfortable. Fer use in the din- ing room there is nothing nicer than a bentwood chair, the long-iczged kind seen in drapers’ shops, and which for the smali- est folks can be bought with side arms and a bar across. After dinner each child should be accustomed to repiec? the chair in its usual place, and before getting down the serviette or feeder should be neatly folded in its ring. ‘Talking to any extent at meal time should be discouraged. The wieiding of the rpoon | or knife and fork demands a certain amount of attention from u child, and if ne or sne is to eat nicely, and goon steadily, so us to be finished with the grown-ups, there is no time for chatter, aad it is far better training to teach the little people to eat in sSitence and let the elders do the talking. A privilege, such as sitting by father’s side at dinner time on Sunday, getting down to ring the bell (young people are al- ways glad of an excuse for moving), or something similar, can be given from time to time to the one who behaves best ct tis to say, wh) eats ail that is cn the plate, finishea the piece of bread with- ‘out crumbling or playing with it, is careful not to use fingers where the spoon or fork is not quite successful ia the work of shoveling, or other minor clinquencies, which every mother will notice for herself.
