LUNCH FIENDs.
Hnu thu Rozs Ware Fonlsd.


For some time past the proprIetors of the
Metropolitan hotel have been setting free
lunch IN their bar-room at 11:3O daily. The lunch
was really q good one, .and, as was to be ex-
pected, had many regular customers. The boys
who pstronized II best would get to the hotel
about II, glance quietly into the bar and, If too
early, take q seat In the lobby, or stand on the
front steps, pick their teeth, and anxiously
await the coming Of the provender, and as soon
as 1t did arrive they would rush in, seize plate,
knife and fork and eat to their hearts content.
Yesterday morning the brigade were on hand
as usual, and st the proper time the waiter
entered the par-room, spread the cloth on the
table, deposited the plates and knives and forks
on the side-tsble. busted himself about the room
for a moment and then darted into the kitchen
as the anxious gentlemen supposed 10 soon re-
turn with steaming lunch.
They waited awhile neryously but no lunch
appeared; they whistled old tunes, held mysterl-
Gus conversations, picked their teeth, looked In
and out of the room, and still no lunch. Then
they walked to the corner, stood there for mo-
uDfianked by the vtands. Something was eyi-
IDENTIFY wrong, but how to solve the mystery. It
was, after q few more vhisperings, decided to
hold q meeting, and as result Of the meeting

A subscription was taken up and the price Of .
glass Of beer handed him, with which he entered
the bar-room and boldly called for the beverage
which was handed TO him in good style. Then he
cleared his throat and, with the most determined
effort at nonchalance Witnessed In that section
for year, inquired, What became Of the lunch
this mOrnipg?" His voice trembled and so did
his hand as he raised the beer to his mouth to
drink while awaiting the answer. "The ranze Is
out Of order, replied the barkeeper "Eh p and
anxious friends, and together they departed, re-
GREETING the necessity Of doing without lunch,

BUILDING PERMITS
A Fine Day Down the Potomac.

Last Sunday the steam yacht Star, with Drs.
Gibbon and Boge and Engineers Davenport and
LePpor, and others, made tine run down to Gun
ston, where the party landed to stroll over the
fields and pick blackberrles, where they were as
thick as Falstaf's compulsory reasons. After
making "a day Of it" in the groves, fields, and by
cool springs, they embarked again in the evening
and started up the river for home, with the wind
stiff aheRds but the little craft dashed along all
the same. She tied up few moments at Marshall
Hall, where there was found jolly party, the
SaDgerbundeTs, enjoying themselves well. Here
too, were the fine sailing yachts Americus and
TreadUell, ready to start for q contest sail to
Washington, and they got off pretty evenly.
soon after the Star united and steamed after;
the wind was nearly dead ahead, but all
moved gallantly and smartly up the stream in
close company, until, little above Fort Foot,
some break or other accident caused the Tread
well to succumb and cast anchor near Virginia
shore to repair damages; but the Americus shot
along 10 near the Alexandra light when the
Star took the lead and reached Washington in
good time, safe and sound; the Americus follow
ing after in the dim distance, beating about with
head wind, as best she could.

The Philadelphia Ledger says: There was

l0el1, $50 tons 10 corresponding date last year-a
decrease Of 3,61o,021 tons. The bituminous ton

Schuylkill region Is sending coal forward freely.
The tonnage by both road and canal last week
amounted TO lis S07 tons, while In the correspond
ing week last year II was but l. 40 tons. The or
ders for coal come In freely for all sizes except
those Of lump and steamer. The demand for
these sizes is slack, because Of the great prostra
tion Of business in the manufacturing districts
and the limited consumption By our steam
marine. Unless there shall be some revival In
the pursuits named the demand for coal will be
materially shortened from what II would other
wise be. The quantity Of coke and coal trans

night when che left her moorIngs for the ffth ex-

But II was the great number Of pretty children on
board that formed Its most attractive feature.
These are the excursions on which the children
go, because there are no landings, because the
boat returns 1t q seasonable hour for the street
cars, and because there is not drop of liquor on
board. These things make them safe for chill
dren and for ladies, even II without escort The
