"Acme" of absurditieS and nnisanseS.
To suppose that our wives and daugh-

every house does not have servants,)
shall, when the Sop man sees proper to
ring his bell, carry sinking slop to
him. or it must rot, when in rarely any
case he would not have to take over
twenty-five steps to take it from its
place in the yard. Certainly in no case
shall my wife carry slop to the front,
aud if must do it will roll the slop
barrel to the curb the night previous, or
let the sop stay on the curb stone and
then it will be ready at all times for
the gentleman to empty it when he may
want it. The writer of this has no

has no side ward, etc, so the curb stone
is the only place luf it. suppose the

War Down Town.

Last evening quite an excitement was
caused in Lord street, which originated
from dispute between TWO neighbors,
as to whether they were depe ndent upon
the American people for their living.
The question was discussed in all its
bearings, and some of the disputants
lost their temper. BY eleven o'clock
some Germans had become involved in
the controversy, and the street was in
feverish state of ofexcitement, some taking
one side of the quarrel and about an
equal number asserting that Il q oppo-
site was the correct view of the matter.
A woman with sandy hair, who was a
champion of the negative, obtained a
Knife, and proceeded to settle the mat
ter satisfactory to herself, and was only
stopped by being thrown into an entry
and the door locked. At ll.3O O'Clock
all had quieted down.

PILOTS MAKE COMPLAINT.
THEIR ASSOCIATION MEETS At
CAPE NAY YESTERDAY.
They Objec to Pennsl vania Laws
and Complain that They are
Losing Heavily.

The pilotage fight in all it's aspects IL
becoming very extensive one. Many
points have been raised on both sides,
and a number Of remedies have been
suggested by way of 3, ttling difficult
ties Several of them have been adopt
ed and partially entered upon. The
Philadelphia Port Warlens have decid-
ed that no pilot shall be again IL
censed under the Pennsylvania law, who
abandons his Pennsylvania license and
accepts one under the law of the State
of Delaware. This was done partly to
offset the general break on part of the
resident Delaware pilots to the Della
ware Board of Pilot Commissioners,
and partly to retaliatc on the Della
wareans for passing the pilot law,
This was followed up by the passage
by the Pennsylvania Legislature of a
new bill, intended in some respects to
hurt the Delaware Break water pilots.
Later came refusals on part of vessels
bound for Philadelphia to take Della
ware licensed pilots. On this last point
alone two cases are now pending in the
United States Courts-one in Philadel-
phia and one here
But the latest grievance OF the pilots
is that caused by the new law of the
State of Pennsylvania. The pilots find
that the reduction Of pilotage fees made
by the new statute is so great as to Ina-
terially interfere with the business. A
to consider this matter was
h Id at Cape May yesterday.
What was done at this meeting
is stated in the following soeci4i de-
spatch from Cape May:
"The Delaware pilots find the Penn
sylvan,a laws so Oppressive tnat they
have determined to take some action
A meeting was held to-day at the City
Hall, with Captain Henry 5 Virden in
tie chair, in which fifty of the hundred
and three pilots We're present. A Com
mittee of two from each Of the six boats
in the Association reported
that since the new law of the State of
Pennsylvania, passed two months ago
vest rlay, the net loss of the six boats
had been eleven hundred dollars.
Under the rev law the tees for out
ward bound vessels wel,4 reduced from
30 to 40 per cent and this had material
ly reduced on" of the sources of income
of the boats on station, and it was
thought necessary reduce the number
Of boats in commission. twas finally
voted to keep all the six on, in the hope
that the rest of August would bring
with it a larger income. II the boats
should still show loss it would be
necessary to lay off three, leaving only |
)ne- half the whole number in commits
sion. The meeting voted to accept the
report of the Committee and to adopt

icit it should be said that the tonnage

Philadelphia contractors have Just
commenced the bronze railing which is
to adorn the outside balcony OF the
second story Of the palace which is now
i'll course OF construction for Mr.. VIM.
FL. Vanderbilt in New York. The
value of this railing alone is $4,000
Some idea of the money which is to be
on the palace may be derived
from the fact that the ontside bronze
work, including the upper railing,
lamps and pillars, and a lower railing
and gate to match, which are now
being constructed, will cost, according
to contracrprice, no less = sum than
$42, 600.
