Since the days of the glacial epoch, when
the megalosaurus sneczed boiler explosions
and the ichthyosauri hiccoushed railroad
collisions, there has never been divided
amongst the descendants of Abraham such
cold as has settled down upon us with the
staying qualities of the canine docinus (?)
and the constitutional effect of q dissectlng

The one place of all others which does not
satiate the tourist is Mauch Chunk. He
who has never been up the Switch Back must
indeed be most prosaica soul ifhe does not
possess burning desire to see where Switz
lands ideal picturesqueness is photographed
upon American soil. We know of those
who go TO Mauch Chunk year after year and
yet claim that they never tire of beholding
the wondlous beauties of nature.
The ride up the elevated plane is alone
worth the price of the entire trip.

Advice 10 Country Girls.

City life is not all that it is painted. 1t has
its pleasures and conveniences, but it also
has its serious drawbacks. Before making
the plunge iuto life in the city, country girls
should ask themselves what is really to be
gained BY it, Perhaps in their quiet rural
homes some stray advertisement has reached
them, promising young ladies high salaries
for light work. Hundreds OF advertisements
are framed for the very purpose of deceiving
the unwary. They accomplish their purpose
however, and large numbers Of young girls
rush up to the city, dazzled by the general
profusion Of promises A girl from the farm
answers one of these advertisements. Life
may have been slow at home, but there was
always good food aud plenty, and there was
some one to care for in the old farmhouse.
When she goes into the big city she finds
that the light work consists in working all
day in badly-lighted and ill-smelling work

Fall Fashions.

The Autumn number of Strdubrtdge 6
Clothier's Quarterly, just received from the
publishers, contains an unusual quantity
and quality of fashion news, instruction and
entei eitainment for the ladies of the land.
Harriet Prescott SpoffoId contributes "The
Ice Storp," wich is well-written and natur-
ally-told tale of a poor but proud family's
struggle with adversely. The eolored front

signed By Janet, of Paris; this is a practical
| fashion-plate for we see that the number of

are given in the description of the plate. The
voluminous fashion gossip with it's many
illustrations will be source Of satisfaction
to the many readers who want to be shown
and guided along the proper fashionable way.
In addition to these fashion pages, their are

autumn is at hand. The needlewoman and
the home decorator will find much of inter

Home WORK.

In the detailed announcement made Satur-
day last, of next years great exhibition to
be held at Manchester. England is found the
statement "a large award is offered for the
best solution Of the problem how cottagers
can earn money by home handiwork." The
citizens of Manchester have subscribed a
guarantee fund of 10000 for the purposes
Of the exhibition.
There has been strong movement in this
country, especially in the larger cities nota-
bly, in New Nork against the prosecution Of
certain businesse O. in tenement houses. Cigar
making, chiefly of the cheapest grades OF
cigars had fallen almost entirely into the
hands of home workers until the Unions put
their veto upon the practice. Undoubtedly
too very large share of the clothing bust.
ness, tailoring and dressmakinR, is ascom
plished at the homes of the workers.
1t is probable however that the director,

Wider Streets.

When Wilmington was in her infancy she
copied many things, good and bad, from her
big sister Philadelphia
Among other things thus adopted were the
plan and gauge of the streets. Philadelphia
had her streets laid out in perfectly rect
angular manuer, so Wilni gton, fortunate
ly copied the same. Philadelphia had narrow
streets, and Wilmington, unfortunately adapt
Q | most of iler thoroughfares to similar
gauge.
Now this is the point we would like to
consider.
Every one must admit that wide, open
street is healthier, prettier and more conven-
lent in all respects than a narrow one. Most
of our streets are forty-nine feet in width.
This is too narrow. In winter when the snow
is removed from the side walk and piled up
on either side of the street, room is left in the
track for the passage of only one wagon.
If two vehicles meet one must incur
the danger of an upset on the snow bank
while passing.
The street is also too narrow allow large
water mains, gas pipes and sewers, and
also the passage OF supply of pure air.
If street car tracks are ever laid upon then
the trouble increases.
How much better in every respect is {
wide street with none Of the above mentioned
disadvantages. with wide side walks on eacl
side
Our city fathers, however, for the las
twenty years have not been indifferent t.
these advantages, and we congratulate then
on their wisdom.
I For though the older streets are with
d few exceptions, too narrow, yet we find th
a newer streets are on considerably wide
plan, that is, about sixty feet
! We would prefer to see most of our stree
+ sixty-tive feet in width. This with the az
Ia dition of six inches, is the width of Mark,
and of King streets, and we think all wi
n agree that such is about as good staudar
u as can be followed.
Il 1t would take away the cramped appea
\. Gene characteristic Of them and would len
an air of freedom and grace.
IN Another fact in connection with the SUI
,e ject, and one which we gladly see ber
h. adopted, is that of setting the houses bac
. from the building line, thus allowing roo
n for porch and garden, adding greatly to Il
rs convenience and beauty of the dwelling
r. In some Of the deeds conveying land '
find condition running with the land, th
Il no building shall be erected upon the sar
i'll nearer than fifteen feet, or some such d
ne Jance from the building line. The 60
an effects of such "a provision can be seen
by several parts of the city, notably upon t
north side of Delaware Avenue where roc

THE CENTRAL UNIONS INTENTIONS.
The Company Will Hold the City Responsible
If Any Patron Claims Damages.

There were no developments in the telephone
troubles yesterday materially changing the as
pect Of the situation. Mr.. Wallick, in speaking
of the action of the Common Council in abroga-
ting the franchises Of the Central Union in this
city, stated that it was the purpose of the COM
pany to carry out all its contacts, and if pre-
vented from doing this would have recourse
against the city If any patron should claim dam
ages. Many additional applications for private
lines have been fled, and the company believes
that Notwithstanding the repeating ordi-
nance. it will be able to furnish
service of this character. Public telephone sta
tions are to be established at different points in
the city for the use OF patrons whose instru-
ments have been removed, and charge of not
moro than 10 cents will be made to persons using
the service. This, however. is simply an ar
rangement which will not be guaranteed longer
than June. The work of taking out the tele-
phones Of patrons whose contracts have expired
still continues. F1fty-nine instruments were re-
moved yesterday, the names of the subscribers
