Harrison of the real estate firm of Harrison ft Morton returned Friday from Chicago, where with W. T. Graham he attended the first meeting of the real es tate dealers of the United States for the purpose of organizing a national assocla tlon. Both Mr. Harrison and Mr. Graham addressed the convention, Mr. Graham on the "Value of Organisation," and Mr. Har rison on "Taxation." Mr. Graham was made a member of the committee on per manent organization and Mr. Harrison was put on the executive committee of the association. Mr. Harrison said: "The meeting' was a success In every way and the plan for or ganization practically completed. Fifteen states and twenty cities were represented, delegates being In- attendance from far west as Billings, Belllngham, Washington and other western cities. From eastern cities came delegations from Baltimore, and Philadelphia. One of the first things which the convention did wss to commend President Roosevelt for calling the meet ing to discuss tba conservation of natural resources.. '. - . "The real estate board of Chicago rare us royal entertainment. There 'Was a spirited contest oyer the location of the next cor ventlon.. the cities which wanted It being Seattle. Minneapolis ' and Detroit. As is known, Detroit won out.'" The Omaha delegates did not make any effort to secure the convention, preferring to ask for scynethlng else. Tills was to Invite all the real estate dealers to visit Omaha and attend the National Com ex hibition next December. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Graham did a good line of boosting for Omaha at the convention and were heard from several times In the discussions on organisation. Tbey carried a small trunk of Omaha literature when they went and distributed It generously. The Ralston Townsfte company will se lect ten names for the streets In the new Industrial center, out of 525 sets of names suggested by the people of Omaha In com petition for a lot which the company pro poses to give the one selecting the best nsmes. To the advertisements Inserted In tho papers the company received the 626 answers. The north and south streets In Ralston will be numbered. Seventy-second street of Omaha, being the eastern boun dary of the suburb. From this street the numbers will run to Eighty-fourth street. The town Is now staked out permanently. Ten blocks are allowed for the business dis trict, the streets In this part of the suburb belr. eighty feet wide, while those In the residence district are sixty feet wide. Building restrictions are to be enforced In the residence part of the town and on the most prominent street no home costing less than liioO may be erected. Near the shops there will be no restrictions. NEW OF THE BUSY HOME BUILDERS CASH PAID FOR SEW HOMES In Spite of Money Stringency in East Omahacs Have the Price. DIIAHai BATH EOOM TAKES FIRST PLACE Coal Seattle H Now Heslrlrted to Its Proper Fnartlon and Practically Erery Home Has Porce lain Tab. A remsrksble feature of the big busi ness now being done In Omaha In the way of selling ready made homes." said a leading real estate man, "Is that a very large proportion of the home buyers are paylrg cash down for them In good hard, cold dollars or In equally good currency." Let other sections of the land read and envy Omaha. This city has been the cen ter of the arta of higher barometer dur ing the recent panic which Is reported to have visited the country. Dispatches from New York and other financial centers. It will bo remembered, report a janlc dur ing tlie months of last fall and business Is still at a low ebb. But in Omaha there was no sign of It except as It was re flected in the way of slow payment of money loaned to New Torkers and others n the east. Bjt the cash payment feature of the present home building era Is not only sat isfactory, but very significant to those who keep their eye upon 'he register cf Omaha's prosperity. "A prominent business man," said an other dealer, "to whom we recently sold a first-clean home made the remark. Uiat he had been thinking of buying a home for the last six months, but had deferred doing so because of the unsettled condition of the eastern money market and fear of a reflection of the condition here. But as his business still continues to run along Its former lines and Increases rather than decreases be felt that It was perfectly safe to buy and that further deferment would only result In a raising of the price of the home which he intended to buy. He has bought now and expects to see a 10 per cent profit on his Investment within a year and I believe be will not be dis appointed." Indicative of building activity in Omaha this spring Is the fact that one firm, Hast ings & Hcyden, took out permits on last Thursday for the erection of seventeen dwellings to cost V6.0C0. These range all the way from a frame cottage at a cost of ll.COo to a frame dwelling to cost 14.000. There are fourteen houses of this class Included In the seventeen permits. The other three are to be double brick apart ment houses ranging In price from 16,500 to If.too. "An evidence of builders' belief In an active spring market," said a man who loans money, "is the fact that they have willingly paid 6 per cent for all the money they needed during the last sixty days In crder to have a good supply of houses on hand for the buyers. And their foresight has been Justified. Also judging from the rapid sale of houses so far the builders will have to keep busy all through the summer and well up into the fall In order to supply the demand. Many houses which are only half finished In this cliy have been sold and paid for. That sounds like an exaggeration, but It Is nothing but the plain truth." Bath rooms are coming In for a large mount of attention In the building of elegant modern homes In Omaha. This la shown by the reports of dealers In these fixtures. The day Is past when the ?oal scuttle served the dual pwfpose of fuel receptacle and bath cabinet. It Is now con fined to the former use entirely and the family takes Its bath In an elegant piece of porcelain that rivals the marble lined baths of the Romans. The use of porce lain faced brick, which has been so com mon In Germany and other European coun tries Tor many years. Is getting more and more established In this country, and a modern bath room, fitted up as It can be, even at moderate cost. Is a thing of beauty and a Joy forever, and so attrsctlve that It could fairly entice the proverbial un soaped hobo to submit to the cleansing In fluences of the bath. Builders say, too, that bath rooms are considered necessities nowadays In even the I simplest houses. Planning,- home builders ( figure upon having a living room, a ed I room and a bath room first. If there is room for a kitchen well and good and it there Is room also for a parlor and another bed room and a reception hall so much the better. But first and foremost there must be a bath room. An elegant line of porce lain fixtures Is shown by dealers and the beauty of the bath room Is a thing to be marveled at when It has an artistic tiled floor end a pure white porcelaine brick side. Scores at Home Plate Attractive and Inexpensive Homes By ICax Xi. XeitU. There is a great demand these days for cottage homes; homes having the free, easy air of a cottage, but at the same tiny? having practically as much room as a full two-story house. To obtain this low roof type of house, but without too great a sacrifice of space on the second floor, the builders and architects have resorted to the use of larie dormers, many of them a whole room In size, thereby completely satisfying the owner's desire for a cottage home with plenty of room In it. This In genious plan has met with much favor. This house is one of these modern homes which fulfills the specification of "a c t tage home with plenty of room In It." The appearance of the exterior Is very pleas n. It Is a house that will sell well on sight. The porch Is a large one, which Is a de cided luxury. The windows are we'l placed on the exterior and there are plenty cf them. The main dormer on the front Is a predominating feature. The rear Is a de cided exception to most houses; It is fully as attractive as the front, with its two large shingle dormers, projecting bay and stoop. The house as built hss siding on the side walls, shingled roof and dormers and con crete block foundation. It would, however, look very well, Indeed, If the side walls were shingled, or, better still, covered with cement plaster on metal lath, with prefer ably a rough cast finish coat; or a more substantial wall could be obtained by lay It up with concrete blocks, adding the ex tra thickness of wall required to the over all dimensions Instead of taking It off the rooms. ' The hall Is entered through a veitibule, on one side of whioh Is a coat closet, whtcn is almost a necessity In every home, and on the other side is an alcove with a seat, which makes a delightful cozy corner. The hall Is a large one, well lighted and well adapted for use as a sitting room. At one end of the h&ll Is a broad stairway, which 4 v S w r2 j .- .,te'B:iBi. .e- rfl FLAT!

J.) brick manufacturer, for IS.uU) damages In breach of promise of marriage. Ostrander Is over GO years of age and a grandfather. Common experience lias shown that ae cuts a very small figure In such proceed ln,-s. indeed, tne Texas court of civil ap peals remarked on one occasion that "there Is fully as much culpability In breaking a promise ,of marriacc made to an elderly noman as to a young woman," and pre sumably the converse would also hold true. In so action decided In New York some years ago Miss Chellts, aged (7 years, sued Mr. Chapman, aged "i year a, and recovered JS.0OO. It Isn't even ucceaaary, holds the court In another case, that Barkis should ex presajy state bis willingness. Miss Rox celjena Ho man recovered Judgment after notifying her admirer that any carriage rides or Ice cream sodas would be con strued as having been tendered with a view to matrimony. An Illinois Jurist has taken exception to this view, saying: "It "by no means follows beesnee a ger.tlcmoa U 11.. suitor of a lady and visits her frequently that a marriage engagement exlats b tween them. If this were so It would be dangerous for an unmarried man to pay attention to an unmarried woman. Junes always lean toward the woman, and no man would be safe from ths contrivances of an artful and designing female whose company might please him.' Undoubtedly the temperament of the judge la somewhat of a . factor In such caaca. Few have seen fit to adopt the cynical ton of Judge Thayer of Oregon, who spread upon- the records his opinion that "the notion that "women belonged to the weaker sex la eery antertalned by the credulous aad U,s linjppLkwUd." aw Turk Wwld, sscends to the second story by seventeen easy risers in two flights. The cellar stair goes down under It to the basement. The start of the stair Is situated near the pas sage to the basement. The start of the stair Is situated near the passage to the kitchen, so, that It serves the purpose of a front and rear, or combination stair. On the front side of the living room Is a broad group of windows, which give a good view toward the street, while at ths opposite end of the room are the broad bay window and fireplace, so situated with relation to each other that they make a very coxy combination. This room, not in cluding the bay, is fourteen feet wide and twenty feet long. The broad openings throw the house all together" In a man ner which makes It very homelike. The dining room Is pleasant with a projecting bay, which adds materially to its size. A i. M. C. DESIGN NO. S, built-in sideboard, with a "pass," could be easily placed on the wall between It and the kitchen, or a movable sideboard In sev eral positions. The kitchen Is a good-slsed one, with ample room for the range or gas stove, kitchen cabinet and cupboards, sink table and Ice box. The second floor has three good-sized chambers, closets, bath room and linen closet. One chamber In particular Is very large. This house altogether has more closets than we are accustomed to find In cottage homes. As a rule they are most conspicuous by their total absence. These closets are not cut down by the slant of the roof (except on the far end of two of them), but are full height. Most closets built under the roof are usually complete in the accommodations and details which make life at home a Joy and lasting pleas ure. It Is a (2,600 house.
