NEW COTTAGES,
Preparations for New COmers---A
Building Boom in Residences.

An ARGUS man was invited last week
by Capt. J. \. Plum to take drive
through the city and note the many new
cottages that are being erected. The in
formation was accepted if for no other
purpose than to enjoy a ride behind the
captains famous horse, an L." the
greatest 20-mile horse in the territory, so
the captain says, ''for," he added "He
never begins to trot until he has trav-
eied twenty miles, and when he starts
have to tighten the reins as much as
possible and fasten 'em to a ring on the
floor of the cart. Before l had the ring
placed where it is | used to hold him but
l dislocatcd both arms at the socket and
wore out three bits, so 1 rigged up this
ring. 1t doesn't prevent him wearing
out the bits but my arms are safer"
Driving up the Washington street
grade we turned to the left past the
pretty little cottages being built by Mr..
J. f. Fuge directly on the bluff and 9TH
ers on Franklin street belonging TO
Jones & Lipsett. These cottages COM
mand beautiful view OF the harbor as
well as the mountains, and are the most
convenient to the business center ef any
of the rev ones. They were rented di-
rectly the foundation was laid. Turning
ing to the right the Captain drove over
by Morgan's hill, and new residences
10 m
nearly every block, and with but few ex-
eeptions the designs were modern and
very pretty. We learned that a majority
| OF TIE houses are for sale. To the writer
this seems a mistake. For not ali OF the
residents wish 10 purchase, and nine
| tenths of those who will arrive here dur
| ing the summer will want to rent. We
cannot think that to build and rent the
houses would not be capital invest
ment. Continuing our drive through
the Plummer, Hastings, Eisenbeis
Morgan and Pettygrove additions anC
Kuhnville, we found a number of beau
tiful homes. In Hastings addition on
i attention was attracted to the floor of /;
building, and on our return from shor
drive out the Discovery road, we fount
at the same building the builders wer,
making preparations to put in the win
dow frames. This is almost lightniL.
speed, but none too rapid for the de
mands of the people. In the short driv
of an hour and half the writer countet
rs cottages in course OF erection. @
the houses recently completed, tha
OF ex-Auditor Charles \. Dyer is perhap
the best arranged, and anyway the mos
elaborately furnished. Mr. Dyer has a
eye single to the comfort and conver
ience OF ''the women folks" The hous
is centrally located, being on Adam
street, but a few feet back of the zig-zal
The exterior is tastily painted in gree
with red trimming, and from any OF til
windows one may have a most enchan
, ing view of the surrounding country.

Important improvements.

Among the enterprising business men
OF Philadelphia with whom it is at any
time pleasure to deal is that wholeheart-
ed and deservedly popular gentleman,
Mr.. John Griffith. We took occasion to
drop in at his place OF business, No. 100
North Second street, during his opening
OF new and handsome furniture on Tues
day last, and the display was truly capti-
waiting. The entire stock was new and
variety apparently endless, all of the la
test styles and patterns; there is absolute
ly no old stock. His display Of chamber
and parlor suits, lounges, marble top ia
bles, mattresses, bedding, upholstery, etc.,
is marvellous. Twice during the past few
years Mr.. Griffith has been induced by
his rapidly growing business to enlarge
his facilities.
Mr.. Griffith has further improved and
made the building almost entirely new,
with new front, etc. Strangers are well
come and made to feel at home, as Mr..
Griffith takes pleasurein showing his stock
whether visitors buy or not. He has
marked his prices full 10 to 80 per cent
lower than the the same quality of good:
can be bought elsewhere. His expense:
are less and he therefore puts his good:
out at less cost than others. He is alsc
sole agent for 1.-THE Standard" Folding
Bed. Call on him.

A Washing Match.

Something quite new in industrial con
tests took place lately at Geneva, Switzer-
land, in the shape of Coatest for prize
between washerwOmen. Geneva is quite
celebrated for its laundresses, who wash
their clothes in the open air and in the
water Of the River RhOne and Lake
Leman. 1t was quite natural, therefore,
if there was TO be n washing match any
where, for it to be held in Geneva.
On the day appointed an immense
crowd lined the shore of the lake. and
the laundresses, having rolled up their
sleeves, began washing at the word of
command. They soaped and rubbed the
clothes, and rinsed and wrung them and
hung them up to dry, while the crowd
looked on in breathless interest.
The first prize was won by Mdlle. lie
fevre, Partisan laundress only 10 years
old, who went through the process of
washing and wringing a garment and
hanging it up to dry in exactly six min
utes. And, Us the prize took into con-
sideration the thoroughncss of the work
as well as its rapidty, the prize winner
could not put through her washing
with a lick and promise"
After the contest banquet was spread.

spectators sat down.
