The quartet is claimed to be the best one in the -South in every thing except looks. Then there is "Molly" Davis who is claimed to be the best comedian on the stage. A prize consisting of one sitting her is to be given to the -bird who sees Davis in action and not loose control of his face's nervous system.

MAY BUIL) HOMES FOR 35,000 TEN A NTS New York Considers Construction of Houses on 'Muticipally Owned Lots. iNew iYork, April 10.-,Homes flor 35,000 of New York's iharried ten ants to be sold without "down pay ments" on terms far below current rentals, will rise on munlcipally owned vacant lots if a proposal now before the 'board of estimate is adopted 'by the city. Edward P. Doyle, chairman of the budget committee of the real estate board of New York, 'who proposed the plan, 'was requested by the board cf estimate yesterday to take it ilp with the mayor's committee on rent profit eering. It was estimated that if the .plan found favor there it would re ceive city backing. Mr. Doyle's plans call for forma tion of a $30,000,000 building loan as sociation, with which the city would cooperate by furnishing vacant lots on fifty year leases. The city owns thousands of such lots, acquired in delinquent tax proceedings. The association would issue $'5, 000,000 in .prepaid stock which, Mr. Doyle said, real estate investors would readIily buy, and $23,000,000 in intsallment stock which 'would lbe sold to prospectfive home11 purchasers in blocks of 25 shares at $100 a share. The stock wvould be plaid for at the rate of 50 cents per share pe~r month. or $12.50 for the 25 shares. 'The proceedls 'would be used to erect concrete houses to be sold1 for $2,300 each. Thle pourchaser would pay six per cent on the purchase price in monthly instalients of $12.50 which with his payments on his stock would 'bring his monthly outgo up to $25.00. Tro this wouild be added a four' per cent payment to the city as rental for the lot, and an assessment for taxes. 'In 12 year's, the (1ues paid on t'he stock would amount to $1,800, and which wvith eni'ners accredited to the stock, would pay for the house. T1he pur chaser could thenm at his leisure pur' chase the lot from the city. FINAL SETTLEMENT.
