DUPLICATE HOUSE NUMBERS,
The Confusion They Cause-A House
Keeper Proposes Remedy.

"f you wish to do the public service" said
lady, the head of family, few evenings
since to STAR reporter. you will call atten-
ton to the duplicating Of house numbers on
some OF the streets. 1t generally comes from
the change Of front of corner lots. As the city
has'grown and land in the thickly populated
sections increased in value corner lots are sub
divided, and what was the side of a deep lot
becomes in some cases the front of half a dozen
lots or more. Such lot which was originally
intended for but one dwelling, is now occupied
by six or eight narrow buildings, fronting
where the side of the original house was
When it comes to numbering the residence 8
on these subdivided lots it often happens that,
beginning in the usual way, starting from even
hundreds, numbers will be used which are
already on houses further along the block and
confusion is the result. My experience from
this cause has not been a very pleasant one for
when 60 shopping my goods are often deiiv-
cred at the new number the same as mine, but
nearer the corner. But if the other family have
bills sent to them they will in majority Of
cases reach my house. Sometimes nv girls in
vite their friends for an evenings enjoyment
and the girls at the new number are called upon
to explain to callers that they are not receiv-
ing that evening; 1t must be at the same num-
Der furt her along. Don't you see what confu-
sion results from this jumbling Of numbers.
THE NUMBERING SHOULD BE CHANGED"
the lady continued, .'even IL il should take some
time for the families on the square to get the
hang of the new arrangement. Then there is
the cost don't think it right for the man
who builds the houses on the corner lot to take
our numbers and put us to the inconvenience
OF changing at our own cost too. The owner
of the new houses might use fractions for his
houses. IL he has six houses on the corner lot
let him number by sixths-thus: 1-6. IA IL,
rs and so. He will thus keep pace with his
neighbors. If he will not adopt this course
and We have 10 change our numbers. then, as
he Is the one WHO causes it, he should do no
less than pay the EXPENSES"

Two Heirs to Millions Elope.

Miss Mae Lester, the pretty blonde nineteen
year-old daughter of John T. Lester, the s10,-
100000 board of trade operator, has eloped
with young Phil Armour. They loit Chicago
yesterday and their whereabouts are unknown.
The marriage of the young couple was to
have taken place soon and great prepa-
rations had been made for the event. The
lovers probably went TO Milwaukee. John T..
Lester, the father of the bride, is i'll in bed.
He admitted last night that his daughter had
left the city, but professed ignorance as to her
whereabouts,

In conclusion, the public should bear
I'm mind this one significant fact: THE
STAR does not rely upon empty boasts
to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA-
TION is SWORN TO; its PRESS
ROOM Is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED
by any one having an interest in thei.
examination. These are CRUCIAL
TESTS, which few papers invite, sna
which those that boast NEST are lsasa
able to stand.
