Plans and specifications for the Central
avenue viaduct to be erected by the city
over Union Pacific tracks and buildings
prior to Jan. l, 1891, and in compliance
with the shop contract" were trans
mitted to the council last evening by r.
L. Huntley, the resident construction en-
gineer. The plans were finished in the
best style of the draughtsman's art and
were much admired. There is an argu-
gument in prospect about the approaches
and perhaps on the northern terminal of
the highway. According to the plans the
north end of the viaduct rests on the
Union Paciic's reservation south of the
Cheyenne & Burlington tracks. Several
think it should be even IS far north as
between Sixteenth and Seventeenth.
East end people seem to have a kick com
ing on the rather limited approach facili-
ties from that direction.
Specifications.
Here is a summary of the viaduct spec
i6cations.

Beneficial Orders.


In reference TO the bill before the Leg-
islature trying to do away with bepttlci II
orders aud organizations, l would ask
why some one does not present bill In
our Leg glslatnre prohibiting graveyard in
surance; that is what call it. They say
every one that lnsures is supposed to pass
u thorough examination by their ex p
aminiug physician. They do not do that,
for know people that are insured in
these graveyard insurance and do not
know 1t themselves for the agent will get
husbands to insure their wives and chill
dren without their knowledge. In some
cas-s the wife insurts her husband with.
out his knowing anything about It, and
la case of death If the agent wished to in-
terfere he could say they did no give
their consent to be Insured, and then the
company would dispute the Claim. This
should be stopped. 1t might lead TO
worse murders than the one the woman
committed that is under death Set tence
IN Philadelphia. They say every one
should be examined, but this is not
always done, and Furthermore know of
ope case in Wilmington that this life In
surance has been the cause OF certain
parties applying for divorce.

A New Musical Era.


For the first time in the history OF the
world q musical notation is provided
which brings the principals of the art
within the comprehension of the entire
human race, aud thus inRugurates an era
of universal song There has always
been manifested an eager desire to find or
invent simpler method OF reading In music,
The Tonic Sofia system lately introduced
introduced in the Wilmington College Of
Music seems 10 meet this demand. 1t
began in England purely as q religious
movement, an effort for elevAting the
masses Of The people, with nc thought OF
prophecy OF creating q revolution In
music as an art. Yet 1t Is found that II
accomplishes the latter result, with no
loss to the former. The system is now
taught In all the schools of England, with
the sanction OF the Government.
Mr.. o. Wenham Smith, the organist of
Plymouth Church, writes as follows:
''The sooner American musicians realize
the value of the Tonic Sofia notation as
a means of interpreting difficult vocal
music, the better 1t will be for the must
cal interests of the whole country.
"ihe Tonic Sol Fa societies OF England
master such works as Gounod's Redemp-
tom and Mackenzle's Immensely diff
cult Rose of Sharon through their no.
tation in an Incredibly short time"
Many are the praises and recommends
tions OF the best musicians of the world.
A visit to the College Of Music tomorrow
(Friday), Cos Market street, will inter-
est and give you au Idea Of the method.
All are invited to come between 7 and
8 O'Clock and have one lesson free. SeV-
enty scholars are already enrolled In the
evening class and quite large private
class OF school teachers mee:s In tho
afternoon. Prof, Bachelor OF Phila-
delphia, who is a graduate of the Tonic
Sol Fa College, London, England has
charge OF these classes,
