BfOmo Missionary.

Mrs. G. Kutz, wife of Rev. Joseph Kutz,
of Reading, Pa, visited our city this
morning, for the purpose of soliciting
contributions for the Friendship Horne
Missionary, located at Tenth and Cot
ton streets, in Reading, Pa. When the
Mission was organized five years ago,
three police officers were required to
preserve order, but the influence ex-
erted has led to such change that one
can keep down the disorderly element
without the least difficulty. The
church is nearly paid for, and only a
few contributions are needed to place
it out of debt. Mrs. R. will spend to-
day in our city and tomorrow at New

vocal and instrumental music, a dia-

rendered their psrts with ease and ef

"ever so much like the real thing. 1.-THE

At 5 per cent. the interest on this
amount would be $500 annually, tha
being no more than the present cost o.
supplying the city with water. If the
water was taken from Rockland the cost
would bs about half as much more than
if taken from Rockford.
This plan would not interfere with
manufacturers along the creek below the
dam, and they could extend their works
and build new ones, increasing the
wealth of our city, for the Brandywine
would then be natural drainage. The
plan of getting water from Rockford
dam or higher up the stream must soon
be adopted, for why should fifty or more
thousands OF people suffer from disease,
debility, devastation and ruined con-
stitutions, by being poisoned on account
of little cost that would injure no
one?
A thirty six inch main from Rock
ford dam would carry nine million
gallons of water daily to the proposed
new basin, being over four times as
much as used at present, and If the pipe
was continued on to Rockland about
eighteen million gallons would be
brought down to the basin. Then We
would have pure water from near the
fountain head, as it runs from off the
mountain tops and hillsides Of Eastern
Pennsylvania and from the Northern
part of our own State, ripping and
flowing along the base Of hills, over the
IN ossy rocks and glades without stag
nant pool or anything to tarnish it's
purity, as pure limpid and clear as ma
ture's God gave it, flowing into our
houses.
We have q city built principally of
brick on the hills overlooking the beau
tiful river Delaware for miles, and the
no less historic streams of Christiana
and Brandywins rivers flowing and
coursing their way through our city, al
