In front OF the Sub-Treasury building on
Wall street, at the head Of Broad, stands
statue OF George Washington. The stone pedes
tsl upon which the bronze figure rests is tho
identical stone upon which Washington stood
when he took the oath of Office. 1t was n part
OF the balcony OF Federal Hall. Until 1870 years
AGO there ran along tho limo OF Wall street tho
iortiacations which tho early New Workers
strengthened by bastions. and for u long time
marked tho northern boundary of the city. In
1899 the Notifications were removed to make
way for the erection OF a new City Hall. 1t
was built on the site where the Treasury
building now stands Some OF the stones from
the bastions were used in its construction.
Possibly the very stone now beneath tho
statue Of Washington was one of the stones
from the bastion that over 200 years ago guard
cd the young metropolis from invasion. Tho
Federal Hall in which the inauguration took
place was only the old City Hall improved

Federal Hall remained the seat Of tho First
Congress until the Government was removed
to Philadelphia. Thither Washington drove In

The great monthly magazines have been
publishing many portraits OF Gen. George
Washington lately. All Of these portraits benr
n certain family likeness to each other. and in
a number Of instances might be mistaken for
portraits OF the same gentleman. Many Of
them are very like tho George Washington Of
commerce as seen on tho sickly green postage
stamp. Others are pictures OF him as he ap-
peared before postage stamps came into active
use. In some Of the portraits he looks stern
and dyspeDtic; in others he wears placid, ut
peace with -the-world expression. and In others
still he appears us though he was tickled to
death over some jokelet Of Revolutionary days.
But II tho expressions and the style Of wear-
ing the hair differ in those pictures, there Is
one point upon which they all agree. Every
one Of them represents Washington as wearing
the regulation costume OF a hundred years
ago. The only difference Is that In some OF the
portraits he is wearing civilians dress. and in
others he is sporting tho full uniform Of a Con.
tinental General.

The Perennial Aqua Pure.

For several days after the water
was first turned into the mains a
force Of hands was kept busy patch
ing up leaks in the mains that were
made by defective joints of pipe.
Among the many leaks there was
not one of any great consequence
and a thorough inspection is the
ground for the fact that now all are
stopped. Another thing that re-
tards the use of the water for the
time being is that the water has a
taste of tar, occasioned by its first
contact with the tar coatings in the
mains. At first it had milky hue,
but it now flows as clear as ever
water flowed and is beginning to
taste natural. This taste was ex-
pected at first. From now on it will
be fit for use.
The water now flows directly from
the reservoir in the mountains
through the line, but Tuesday the
tank on Rogers hill was commenced.
Thos. McDermott has the contract
for the tank and says it will be fin
ished in two weeks. 1t is to hold
1000 gallons. When finished the
water will first flow into it and then
directly from it to the mains. The
pressure now is great, but coming
from the tank will make it greater
Persons are having the water put
into their houses as rapidly as the
plumbers can do the work. They
all like the water, too.

The addition of 80, this year, to
the corps is the largest ever receiv-
ed at the beginning of the year, and
is only one less than the remarkable
number (40) which Lieut.. Wilson, a
former efficient commandment, receiv.
ed in September, 1887, nine of whom
were volunteers. This year there
were sixteen volunteers, 1.-TWO have
received appointments since volun-
tcering), nearly double the largest
number ever received before. There
are several appointments yet to be
heard from. Counting probable
losses, the aggregate Of the corps
now is ninety nine, ten more than at
this time last year.
In 1887 Lieut.. Wilson had camp
for the corps and this year Lieut.
Avis has enforced the regulation
which requires cadets to wear the
uniform, and has secured the APP
pointment of Prof j. w. Hartigan
as surgeon Of the corps.
1t is natural to infer that the pa
irons of the University heartily APP
prove the physical training which
the military drill gives the cadets.
Indeed there can be no doubt that
every young man is improved by be-
ing caused to carry himself erect
and to conform to the neatness and
exactness required by military dis
cipliDe.

Of Camden, erstwhile known a.
Briertown. The foundations for the
coal company's dwellings and bust
ness houses are about completed,
and the men and lumber are now on
the ground and the buildings con-
tracted for will soon be going up.
Bennett 4 Talbot have the stone
work Of the coke ovens ready for
laying brick, and if the Glade Brick
Company is not further delayed by
the inability of the B. 4 o. to fur
nish sufficient cars to deliver the
brick on the ground, they will be
piling up the oven walls in great
shape next week. An elegant little
depot will be one of the M. R. R. RS
contributions to the little towns
building boom, and the foundation
for the same is now being laid. The
east side Of the river will not be
big enough to hold all the town, and
the coal company is at present lay
ing out site ON the west side for
$50 or 800 additional houses. In
fact it looks as il the biggest portion
of the future city of Camden will be
on the west side of the river. As to
the company's collieries, Col. Thomp-
son informs US that they will be
equipped with the latest and best
improved machinery for handling
coal and coke, and that the mines
will be lighted by electricity and
operated by electric power. Several
representatives of large machine
works were here this week making
up estimates on the cost of the equip
ment of the plants.-Inde1.

Died.

RIDIwAY-Died, at Scottdale, Pa,
Sept. 8, 1889, of brain disease, Nora,
daughter of John and Priscilla
Ridgway, aged 5 years. Nora was
a bright little child and attract
ed the attention of all whom
she met. Her death was sudden,
being sick only two days. The re-
mains were brought to Cheat Neck
on the 10th, and on the morning of
the 18th the little white casket was
borne to Zion cemetery by four young
ladies, followed by large number
of mourning friends. AS we looked
upon the beautiful little form imbed-
ed in white satin and flowers and
the golden ringlets encircling her
brow, we thought of Him who said,
"Suffer little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not, for of
such is the kingdom of God" The
parents have our. sympathy in their
sad bereavement. sSweet flower,
transferred to a cline, where never
comes the blight Of time"
