THE CROWN JEWELS POSSESSED BY THE
SUTHERLAND SISTERS.
The Marvellous Trsssss in which They May
Glory. and the Manner in which Their
Luxurious Growth was Produeed-How
the Golden Key was Found-opticai Evi-
dsncs OF tho Claims They Make.

Ever since Mother Eve was driven ont
OF the Garden of Eden-and probably
before that unhappy event-women have
considered their hair. when they had
any 10 speak Of, TO be their GROWING
glory. There are noble families to-day
in Europe whose ancestors obtained their
patents OF nobility because they arranged
so exquisitely the coi6ures OF the queens
and princesses of the centuries gone by.
and it has always been and always Will
be a crying vanity of a woman II she
have fine head of hair TO let the fact be
known.
And that is one OF the reasons why the
fierce tides OF travel which ebb and flow
on Fourteenth street always pause and
longingly eye the window at No. Is
west, for behind that crystal is to be seen
the crown jewels of woman's GROWING
jewel-the wondrous locks of the Seven
Sutherland Sisters, the finest heads OF
hair in the world-which have bowed
before the monarchs Of every country In
Europe.

then by drawing from The surface we
would get nearly clear water. The cost
would be about $3.50, 900, including the
purchase OF the site. I hope that at
least proper steps may be taken to Sc
cure the land, which can never be pur-
chased any cheaper than now, and the
work could be constructed at some
future time-whenever the Council felt
justified in making the appropriation.

Died I'm the AlmshOuse.


Among the deaths reported at the
weekly meeting of the Bureau of Chari-
ties and Corrections yesterday at the
Blockley almshouse was that of Henry
c.. Spalding, whose name is familiar in
households throughoutthe United States
and Great Britain as the inventor of
"Spalding's Glue" Mr.. Spalding was
born in Vermont in 1926, and was
at his death sixty-three years of age.
Early in life he went to Boston
and engaged in business in that
city. He afterwards came to Phila-
delphia and invented n special kind of
coach-varnish, waterproof fluid for
lining casks and barrels, and several
other things of considerable commercial
value. He was at one time worth $50, 900,
but he was one of those men who could
not stand prosperity and he went down
owing to hisacquired Incorporate habits.
His only daughter. who resides in
Boston, made every effort to re-
claim him, but without success.
During the present winter she wrote
beseeching him to come to her and
give up his drinking habits. She sent
him $50 to pay his expenses, but he
spent the money in debauchery, and
failed to take her advice. 1t was her in
tention to keep him in comfortable cir
cumstances if he had complied with her
request. Spalding was admitted to the
Philadelphia Hospital January 20, 1888,
and was suffering from typhoid pneumO-
MIA when he entered the institution. He
died on Sunday.

MARRIAGE FEES.
MOROsINI.
" All want is TO be let alone !"

Gan | want is To be let alone -
So spoke the father of Victoria Moro
SIM a few days ago to a reporter who
called upon him to find ont where his
wavward daughter had gone.
Don't ask me, be shouted, ego
away. let me alone don't know and 1
don't want to know"
He was wild with excitement and the
recently published stories that he has
spirited his daughter away from her hus-
band cut him TO the quick. l know
nositively that Morosini has not done
ANYTHING to aid his daughters escape
from her coachman husband, nor has he
ever listened to one word looking toward
a reconciliation with the erring girl.
A few weeks before Victoria ran away
from her husband an effort was made to
bring father and daughter together. 1t
was managed by an eminent lawyer, a
friend of the family. Victoria was
brought down town TO the law-oflice and
put in an adjoining room. Then old
Morosipi was sent for. Tenderly and
manfully the old lawyer told him what
he had done. Morosini listened in ST.
lence. AS he rose to go the lawyer threw
omen the door that separated father and
daughter. ,,,, e.,
"There is your lost child !" he said
dramatically.
Morosini looked mp. His eyes fell on
his daughter. Then he turned TO the
lawyer and said: =,

rive her. ] am mad. have pistol.

Annual Report Of Superintendent Boiling
Plan for & Large Storage
Reservoir.

The following has been submitted TO
Mayor Darlington, who will in due sea-
son transmit it with his annual message
to the City Council:
OFFICE OF THE CRY WATER-WoRKs,
January /, 1888.
respectfully submit my third report,
showing the operations of the Water De-
partment for the year ending December
81, 1887.
The annexed tables exhibit in detail the
receipts and disbursements, quantity OF
water pumped, and all the work done
during the year 1887. The receipts
amount to Sll1,024l7; the disburse-
ments, S57, 9S9.l9. Twenty-seyen thou
sand six hundred and twenty-one
dollars OF the amount expended
was applied to pipe-e1tensions, fire
hydrants, meters, and house sup
plies. The increase in the net revenue
over the preceding year amounts to S20,-
2SS.S7. There have been laid during the
year &c, 621 lineal feet of pipe and &c
stop-valves, % fire hydrants, n meters,
and 500 new taps or house supplies put
in, which shows an increase over the
number of taps put in the preceding
year of nearly 80 per cent, sufficient
evidence in itself of the rapidly lncreas-
ing demand for water on the part OF our
citizens
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1888-02-12

The water has been uniformly good
and healthy, though at certain periods
unsightly and uninviting on account of
its color. With three or four days of
settlement the water is greatly improved,
but still is discolored, owing to the cha
rscter of the soil of some OF the counties
through which the James flows. The
river was muddy for 1S9 days of
the past year, the largest continuous
period being 20 days, which was
from April 24th to May ODD, the worst
conditions of the water being in the
early spring and in the month OF July /;
it was generally clear during the fall.
As have before advised, | am sure the
water would be greatly improved by
constructing a large storage lake along
the canal above the New pump-house.
l have described the plan TO several
prominent engineers and others who
have given the water question careful
study aud this plan has received their
approval. Such a lake would store
200, 100000 gallons, or twenty days
supply, which would meet the average
periods OF muddy water, and even II il
was as long as twenty mine days the lake
could be filed with muddy water, and
