have. here in Philadelphia, . building
grand in size and architectural beanty, in
which Christians and non-believers, the
world over, shall be warmly welcomed
with Christian hospitality.
Such building will cost seVernl hum
idred thousand dollars to erect and furn-
ish. 1t will be raised and the first step
towards raising it has been taken by
holding a great and novel Entertain
ment, exhibition and sale, in this city,
commencing March Goth, and continu-
ing until the oath of April. This en-
tertainment is called "The Bazaar Of the
Nations" and the largest hall in the
cityhas been engaged in which to holdit
A wide avenue will extend tho entire
length Of the hall, and on either side
will be erected houses, accurately rep

Scotland, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland,

These houses will be so substantially
CONSTRUCTED as to render them perfectly
safe. They will be supplemented with
balconies, decorations, signs, banners,
and draperies, appropriate to their re-
spective nationalities.
In each house will be established q
store or bazaar where ladies and their at

will offer for sale, rare, fancy and useful
articles, mainly the productions OF the
countries they represent.

world may be heard on the busy
thoroughfare.
Every effort is being put forth to make
the bazaar the most attractive, interest
ing and instructive "affairS ever brought |
before the people of Pennsylvania and
the adjacent States.
REVENUE OFFICERS COMING TO GRIEF.
The United States Court has been en-
gagged for a couple of weeks trying Ex-
Collectors, to recover alleged deficien-
cies in their accounts. In the case Of
John H. Diehl the claim was for S19, 900
and a judgement of SO, 900 was rendered
in favor of the government
In the case of Samuel NJ. Zulick, the
claim was for 800, ,O00 the amount OF
his bond, although the government
claimed defect Of 1922, 900. The YER
dict in favor of Uncle Sam was $14, ,24S,-
70, which was set aside by the Judge,
md Il new trial ordered that Judgment
'or the full amount Of the bond may be
obtained. II
These collectors have been out of r
office for six years, and as the bonds of \
heir surites were not entered up against I
hem, it is mighty little difference
the government gets judgment
ior 800, 900 or one cent. II the first is s
not cent will be paid, while
4 the judgement was for the latter
AMOUNT, it is probable it would be !
handed over.
1 can regard the delay in no other
light than a six years delay, in order to
How the bondsmen of these Collectors
% get rid of their real estate.
The judgment obtained against Alex
Inder Cummings, also an Ex-Collector, I
vas $19, 900, which will be paid by his
CRuAANANo dOOut kALlO COAhAll IOfOOOs IN
FIRES.
We have been singularly fortunate in '
his city in escaping, during the winter,
arge confiagrations incident to great
mites, but since my last letter was writ
en, we have had two very large fires;
he first was the provision warehouse of
Washington Butcher & Sons, entailng
/ loss of $50, 900, ON the stock of meats
stored therein, and loss of $115, 900 on
heirs and the adjoining buildings. Z
The other was the building occupied
~ the American Paper Box Company,
md the loss by this fire is not less than
$4,000. By it two hundred and fifty
employees arc thrown out of employ
nent, and the greater number of whom
re females. !
The most sacriligious attempt of pick :
pockets to ply their game, was attempted
lere on last Saturday evening, at ST.
Mary's Catholic church. This is one Of
he oldest aud wealthiest organizations
IL this city, and while Father Martin
vas preaching his Sunday evening ser
non, the gas was turned off at the meter. |
It was the belief that the cold weather
lad frozen it, but an immediate exAmin-
ttion by the janitor disclosed the fact of
It's being turned off. Within twenty min
ltes after re-ighting, it was again l
5urned off but not until number of
aides wsre relieved of their pocket
books, was the cause ascertained. The 4
thieves got off with goodly pile of cash.
The ice gorges in the Schuylkill river. 7
nave caused serious apprehensions in
he minds of the Mayor, Col. Scott, of {
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and bust
les5 men along the river, generally.
In order to save the magnificent bridge,
over the Schuylkin, at Girard Avenue,
recently erected at cost of 81, 800, 900,
and the Pennsylvania railroad bridge,
a number of attempts have been made
10 blow up the ice which has backed up
against the bridges. The ice gorge
against these bridges are several hun
dred yards in length, and the strain that
q freshet would create, would seem more
than they would be able to Withstand.
