The following extract from the
Union Signal, the organ OF the Ma
tional w. G. 7. u, is published by re-
quest from the w. G. 7. U. of this
city:
The grand jury OF Philadelphia
lately used the following language in
a report: I'm the performance Of our
duty, we have been deeply impressed
with the fact that r.fifths, If not
nine. tenths, Of the 5000 paupers and
criminals which fill our public institu.
tions are in their pre0ent sad and de-
plorable condition through the in
fiuence Of intoxicating liquors."
The grand jury Of New York recently
made long presentment to the court

forcement of the excise laws, anC
say that nearly all this cases Of homi-

Judge johnson of California, in pass

later the foundations for new buildings
were laid everywhere. The fire, all told,
was good thing for the beauty of the
city. and Chicago Is now one Of the most
beautiful cities of the world.
Chicago men have no hesitancy in talk
ing about the beauty of their city. They
blow about their boulevards. and indeed
their drives will compare with those Of
any city in Europe These boulevards run
in almost every direction from the edge
of the city. They are wider than tho
streets of Washington city, and the Hum
boldt boulevard is 250 feet wide and fur
nishes drive of about three miles. The
Central boulevard is the same width, and
the Washington boulevard, on which
many of the handsome residences are To-
Gated is three miles long, 100 feet wide,
and it's sides are bordered with handsome
trees. Then there is the Western Avenue
boulevard, FIVE miles long; and the Gar
field boulevard which. hemmed in with
'elms, pakes you think of the ride from
the Hague to the seashore in Holland, and
which has a Rotten Row for equestrians
and highway for ordinary travel. There
arc q number Of other boulevards, and
just below the convention hall, along the
banks OF the lake, Is the Michigan Avenue
boulevard, upon which the country dele.

The strnuherrr season.

This Is The most satisfactory season our
strawberry growers have tad for several
years. This has resulted mostly from the
favorable weather, there being no rain
since the picking commenced, but plenty
before. The prices in the city have ranged
from S to 10 cents per quart Thus far
about 1900 car loads have gone over the
Delaware railroad, or some 100000
crates. The crates will return en- an aver
age say S2.25 per crate clear OF freight
commission and carriage, thus thowina
over one and quarter millions Of dollarI
have been divided on the Peninsula be
tween the growers and tbs pickers. 4
quarter of million more will probably b
added to this, without taking Into accoun
the very large quantity sold in the town
on the Peninsula. The strawberry none,
is money that gets into circulation at one
aud its benefit is already being felt In th
channels OF trade.-SmyrDa Times.

Sensible plan 20 Help women.
Albany journal.

Better than to solve the, difficulties
of the needy is it to put them in the
way of helping themselves. This was
the principle on which the New York
Women's Exchange founded, and It
explains its wonderful success. The
New York Exchange, founded 10 years
ago, now has 27 branches in the vari-
GUS states and territories, and through
it's agency women thrown on their
own resources have received $1,000
600, half that sum going to the
women Of New York. The idea OF
having q place for the sale of the prod
uct of womens work first occurred
to Mrs. w. @. Choate. on seeing the
look Of disappointment and chagrin
which passed over the delicate face of
poor woman on receiving paltry
return for some fine needlework which
she offered to a store. The New York
exchange now deals in almost every
product OF female labor. On it's
counters may be found decorative
work of all kinds, table linen, trous.
seaus and all the necessities and deli
cacies of the table.

one to offer for sale the work of three
women for year. The makers Of the
articles put value on them, and the
exchange retains 10 per cent. Of the
price for selling them to meet ex.
penses. Cne woman with family to
support makes a very good income by
selling chicken pies through the ex
change. Another, who failed in max.
ing woolen knitted goods, excels iu
gingerbread, while third earns 500 q
month in making delicious exchange
rolls, for which she has earned de-
served reputation. The wife Of ply
sician, whose income was cut off by
the loss Of his health, last year contri-
buted $500 to The support Of the family
by making babies dresses. The man
ager of the exchange suggests TO appli-
cants lines of work in which they mal
excel and for the products Of whicl
there is a demand.
, The customers are among the bes
families of New York. They go ther

THE dust and heat Of yesterday
afternoon was gently allayed by the
light rain which fell about 8 O'Clock.
The dust had become more unbear-
able than the heat and fortunately the
rain had a more lasting effect on it
than on the latter, for the heat is
almost as great to-day. The many un-
paved streets and the absence of all
public attempts to sprinkle them with
water make Wilmington almost as hazy
with dust as a country village. 1t goes
without saying that Wilmington has
the vilest streets, both summer and
winter and in fair weather sni fou

cost tho city, all told, more than three
millions Of dollars. In Washington park
there is a meadow, the grass of whish is

Mere, which is very beautiful. and the

II is impossible to conceive the number
Of animals slaughtered every year at Chi |
cago There were enough hogs killed IN
1885 to have given one-half Of hog to
each family in the United States, and the
calves killed numbered SO 600. There
we're during this year over 100000 live
hogs shipped out from the city, and the
pounds Of lard, wool and hides ran high
into the millions. The stock yards Of the
city cover an area which would make
number Of good sized farms. The Union
stock yards comprise $50 acres Of ground.
and there arc twenty miles OF streets,
twenty miles Of water troughs, and fifty
miles Of feeding troughs in them. i
takes FIVE artesian wells 70 supply them
with water, and the stock yards them
selves cost all told, s4,000,O COO
Near these stock ysrds arc the meat
packing establishments. and If the con-
| vension visitors can stand the smell they
/ will find them worth visit. These estab-
/ lishments are factories whose raw ma
terial Is live stock. They take up a COW
or hog and grind it out into hundred
different articles. Every part OF the ami
NAL is used for something. and tho hair
and the hoofs are turned into manufac-
tured articles The work is done very
quickly, and its extent may be appreciated
when 1t is remembered that Armour & Co.
have single establishment which com
prises seventy acres OF flooring and In
which $500 men arc employed. Phil
Armour has made his fortune out Of meat

POSTAL TELEGRAPH SYSTEM,


Wilmington is to be congratulated
upon the speedy introduction OF the
Postal Telegraph Company's service
and the community is under great OBJ
legations to the local Board OF Trade,
to whose solicitations it is due that the
new Office will be opened here. The
Postal Telegraph Company is not en-
gagged in any visionary improvements
and extensions but is a substan-
tiaI and wisely arranged institution,
which unlike the Baltimore and Ohio
has come here to stay. Its presence
will guarantee cheaper telegrAphic
facilities between this city and the
principal cities OF the world than has
been the case here since the absorption
of the Baltimore and Ohio line by the
Western Union, and it is not probable
that the latter will swallow the new
conner as it did its predecessor.
1t is only fair however to say in this
connection that better service than
Wilmington has been getting need not
be expected. 1t is still remembered
that when the Baltimore and Ohio sys
tenn was being introduced how every
body anticipated "a cheaper anc
better service" We got 1
cheaper but hardly a better ser
vice. The Western Union service hal
always been good. excepting as to Ger
tain details, such as the absence of al
operator during a portion Of the night
or course this was defect in its ar
rangements here for which the com
pany, and not the local management
was responsible. Probably the pres
ence of the new company will give
Wilmington an all-night aervic
again.

In this letter want to write Of Chicago
outside Of the convention. The town
changes from year to year, and it is now
q far different place from what it was ten
years ago 1t has population OF about
eight hundred Thousand, and though its
roofs are said to be covered with mort
cages, it is ono of the richest towns of
the United States. 1t is one of the live
liest and most clustering of towns. A
Chicago man never speaks IN a whisper,
and wheu he walks he stamps. With all
his noise, however, lie does lots of busi-
ness
The visitors to the convention VIII see
evidences Of this increase of trade every
where. They will find ten story
buildings finer than many Of the best
buildings in New York city, and the
stock yards and elevators viii make them
open both their eyes and their mouths.
The first lot of cattle that was ever packed
IN Chicago was 200 head that were
slaughtered in 1892 This was only fifty
six years ago, and now the city Is the
greatest packing center Of the western
world It probably kills and packs more
cattle, sheep and hogs than any place on
this Zig round earth, and its establish
ments cat UP every year over seven mill
ion hogs and between one and two million
cattle Suppose the average hog to be
four feet long, and four foot hog would
be short one, put these Chicago hogs
nose to tail and they would make {
single file procession which would reacl
! almost from san Francisco to Liverpool
This is supposing the hogs could wall
upon tho water. They go to Liverpool
however, though they do not walk there
and a great proportion Of the meat prod
ucts Of Chicago are sent abroad.
