HOW GIRLS BATTLE.
The Way in Which Females Splash
Around in the Free Swimming Bath.

Inc way IN which Females Splash
Around in the Free Swimming Bath.
Philadelphia Times
Complaint has been made to city
missionaries, doctors, ministers and
others, from time to time that the
Delaware free swimming bath was
losing great many of its more mod
est and respectable bathers by the
conducts of many who have not re-
ceived proper training at home, aud
although the charity which called
the institution into being had made
every effort to make the place a sue
cess, yet its usefulness was greatly
impaired by the disregard of the COM
mon laws of modesty shown by the
more promiscuous class of bathers.
The bath is located at the foot of
Almond street. 1t has the appear
ance of large barn constructed of
rough boards, colored with paint of
dull brown color No windows are
visible in the sloping roof and sides.
The door of the place is in the side,
and is reached by shaky temporary
stairway, or swinging ladder which
though apparently insecure, presents
no danger to the careful. The place
is open to women and girls ON Mon
days and Thursdays; on other days
to men and boys.
Across the middle of the bath is a
low partition of upright piles which
divides it into two equal parts. The
end next the shore is deep pool for
adults, the other q shallow one for
children. All around the structure
is yard wide board walk protected
by railing. Over each pool from
side to side is light bridge. Around
the bath, opening upon the board
walk, is row of closets for clothing,
properly numbered. The floor is of
logs, through which the water flows
constantly and which is strong and
high enough to prevent accidents.
On women's days the place is in
charge of Mrs. Kate Ryan, whose
business is to take charge of the
wardrobcs of the bathers, quell disor-
der and keep away intruders. Here
on Mondays and Thursdays, women
of all ages congregate, the older ones
chiefly in the morning and evening,
the younger through the day. The
bathers are mostly persons who dc
not have access to bathtubs at home.
They come from the little streets
and alleys in the neighborhood-
though all parts of the city are rep
resented. Many of the girls are
bright, healthy and respectable in
appearance. When a lady reporter
Of the Times visited the baths Thurs
day afternoon the water seemed to be
alive with graceful forms darting
about in all directions, jumping, div
ing and splashing in great glec. On
stepping inside the enclosure
she was Immediately surrounded
by bevy Of playful girls, who stared
at her and capered about totally OBJ
livious of the fact that they were un-
incumbered with clolhes Of any sort.
A policeman is stationed at the en-
trance to the wharf to prevent men or
boys advancing further than GER
tain distance upon days allotted to
women

ment of the final expenses of the
tenth census ($540, 000); appropriat-

distribution ofsceas (under the direc-
ton of the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture) to people in localities over

statutes so as to extend to foreign
vessels the provisions of inspection

Deuster bill'' and the "Head Money
bill'' {; the knit goods bill.

Nothing has been done to relieve
the people from the burdens of tax
alton. Upon the contrary, it has
seemed to be the object of the domi-
nant party to squander the money
now in the Treasury and inaugurate
system of so-called improvements
which would continue to absorb all
the surplus revenue for years to come.
The knit goods bill, passed in such
shape as to make its validity
doubtful, increa ses the cost of
blankets, &C., from 80 to So per cent.
end the proposed little revenue bill,
if passed, would only have served to
put additional amounts into the
pockets of patent medicine vendors,
and afforded no relief TO the tax-rid-
den public. Millions for creeks and
ponds, but not measure of relief,
worthy of the name, for the people.
One hundred million dollars of in
creased appropriations, not one
cent of TAX reduction. Such is the
work of the session which has just
closed.

Mr.. Fox, the father of the orator Chas
James Fox, trained his son from child
hood to share in the government Of Eng
land. This anecdote shows the child S
precocity; While the elder Fox was
Secretary of State he used to allow
Charles to read all his dispatches. One
day, when the boy was only ten years
of age, the Secretary brought home 4
paper which he had very carefully writ
ten-an answer 10 be sent to foreign
Government, with whom England had
good cause to find fault. He gave the
paper to Charles, and asked him to read
it. The lad did so.
"What do you think Of it?" asked the
parent, earnestly, for he thought it ex-
tremely good.
The boy shook his head. Then he
looked into his fathers face; then he
Strengthened himself to his full height;
and shifting his little fist upon his swell
ling breast, he exclaimed:
30! make it stronger! make it--big'
make it-7make it-ENGLIsH.
Fox caught the inspiration from the
look, the tone, the words of his boy
He threw the paper into the fire, and
then sat down and wrote again, and pro-
duced paper which electrified The
country.

CARRIAGES in Washington.

The landau is the most popular ve-
hicle in Washington, as 1t can be easily
changed from an open 10 close carri-
age, and nearly every Senator owns one.
The handsomest belongs TO Don Gamer
on, who has team Of dark bay horses.
Mrs. Senator Miller goes out shopping,
calling, or driving in pretty little cou-
pelette. which is the envy of those less
fortunate. Senators Van Wyck and
Grover both have fine teams and landaus,
and are talking Of adding saddle-horses
to their stables. Senator Johnston, OF
Virginia, is also partial to a landau.
Senators Morrill, and Bayard own the
bay teams and landaus in which they
take their after-dinner airing while
Senator Edmunds not only owns bay
team and a landau, but has two saddle
horses besides. Senator Pendleton has
a private stable stocked with four
horses, two bays and two blacks. He
keeps an English landau, and his coach
man wears a handsome livery. Repre-
sentative Wood, who has made millions
by the manufacture of his patent now
ing-machine, has an establishment that
will not be eclipsed during tho corning
season. He owns dogcart in which
he drives pair Of handsome bays in
tandem. The gold-mounted harness for
this team cost FIVE hundred dollars
alone He has an English landau with
large bay team These horses arc al
SO arrayed in gold-mounted harness
which cost six hundred and fifty dollars.
Besides all this he keeps horse 10 pull
handsome coupe. Representative
Russell, another millionaire manufac-
turer, drives a stylish pair Of horses and
has an elegant landau. Representative
Robson, formerly Secretary Of the
Navy, keeps two horses, a victoria and
two landaus, one for day use and one
for night He uses the victoria when
riding on the avenue, and handles the
reins himself. His well-known face and
figure make him q conspicuous object
to strangers promenading on heavenue.
Representative Archie Bliss loves a good
pair Of trotters perhaps as well as any
other member Of the lower house. He
drives pair of black mares, and does
not like to be behind any body on the
road. President Arthur has commo-
dious carriage and pair of light-step-
ping horses, but he prefers to take q
dashing drive in the suburbs in his wag-
on and fast trotter, which was my Lord
Roscoe's fayorite way of taking the air.
David Davis rides in herdic on horse
car, but is contemplating the purchase
Of one-horse coupe. The army officers
all have good horses, which are fed at
public expense. EX-Congressman Alley
drives a pair of fine horses to landau.
and paid six hundred dollars for the
harness. DR.. Loring is also the posses
sor Of a handsome team, and some
times goes out in coupe and some
times in buggy. Washington Cores
