WILL MAKE A BITTER FIGHT.
People Preparing Petitions to Present ~
the Mayor Regarding the Crematory.

1t really seems that the fight against
placing the garbage-furnace on the lot TO
the rear OF the almshouse Is to be bitter and
to the death-of that institution as far as
the proposed location is concerned. Those
living near the Buchanan-street site. which
was first selected, were unceasing in their
opposition until the Health Committee de-
cfded to recommend and the Council
adopted the lot in rear OF the almshouse.
This site was brought up and acted upon
so quickly that those who would have
objected were probably relieved OF an op-
portunity to enter their complaints until
the matter passed into the hands of the
Mayor.
A number of interested citizens called
on the Mayor on Saturday, and Yesterday
numerous papers were being circulated Tor
signatures in the immediate radius of the
poOrhouse.
GREAT NUMBERS SIGNING.
Between FIVE and six hundred employees
of the Richmond Locomotive and bla-
chine Works have signed one of these
papers, and 1t IS claimed that another per-
son has the names of over thousand resi-
dents Of the vicinity attached.
A DISPATCH reporter yesterday called on
a few of those opposed to the placing of
the crematory in the rear OF the almhouse,
and it only required about a minute to
realize to what depth their opposition ex-
tended.
One well-known gentlemen said: why,
if they put that thing there they will have
to fight the whole city from First to
Seventh street and from Broad street out.
And we are all in arms for the battle"
ANOTHER SITE SUGGESTED.
Just from what source has not yet been
ascertained, but another site has been
suggested There now seems to be SEMI
universal disposition to erect the garbage
furnace on Browns Island. In fact. folks
now wonder why that omni-appropriatee
spot had not long since been chosen and
the crematory fairly under construction
ere this. II is fairly probable the popu-
larity of this suggestion will flicker and
die as in the other cases.
THE MAYOR WILL HEAR THEM.
At present the whole matter is in the
hands Of the Mayor. He may or may, not
think the place selected by the Council the
most suitable one. and it Is his determine
ton to give the question mature and de-
liberate consideration. He has fxed upon
Thursday morning to hear those people who
will send committee to explain their OBJ
jecticns to the crematory as neIghbor.
Should the Mayor veto the resolution the
matter will 60 back 10 the Council. and II
it is not passed over the veto another site
will have to be chosen.

Bottles by MACHINERY.

During the last six weeks the Ameri-
can Bottle Company, whose works are
located at Woodbury., N. j., have sue
ceeded in making bottles by machinery,
being the first successful attempt to do
SO in this country, says the New York
San. The machinery used is an En-
glish invention, which has been used in
that country for two years. The glass
is gathered in the usual way and al
lowed to run from the rod into an iron
cup, which measures the quantity
needed for making the bottle. From
below hollow iron plunger is pushed
up through the bottom OF the cup and
through the mass, and the cup is re-
versed, leaving the glass suspended
from the hollcw plunger. The cup,
which is hinged, is then removed, and
the movement of lever admits small
quantity of air through the plunger,
after which the bulb is fattened at the
bottom and dropped into the mold, which
Is then closed and the air applied. This
completes the bottle, which is taken
while hot to the annealing oven. BY
the old process the ring at the top Of
the bottles neck was made by second
operation. By the machine the bottle
comes from the mold complete. Men
totally inexperienced in the handling of
glass are able, it is said, after six weeks
practice, to turn out as much as an ex-
perienced blower with blowpipe.

Gllmpses of syrian seaport Town.

But it is in the streets Of Syrian cities
that we are most interested Beyrout,
where the Turkish jargon gives place to
Arabic, is our first point of approach.
and sailing down the coast in the after
noon light, the setting of the city is
truly superb. From the rocky harbor
the graceful beach of st. Georges Bay
sweeps around to the northeast, re-
minding one of the Bay of Naples. The
houses, rising on terraces as they re-
cede from the sea, are of varied archi-
lecture, presenting colonnades of slender
pillars cut from italian marble, tall
minarets, or little square dwellings
with fiat roofs. East Of the city rises
to height of more than eight thousand
feet the majestic range of Lebanon,
capped with snow in winter, and to the
rugged slopes cling score of pretty
villages. like swallows nests under the
rocky caves. We can be quite resigned
to the treelessness of the mountain
sides. What delicately tinted crags,
what alterations of light and shade as
the deep chasms fill with evening shad-
ows, what gorgeousness on clouds and
peaks as the sun plunges finally into
the blue waves Of the Mediterranean!
We find Bayrout q city of nearly a
hundred thousand inhabitants. MANY of
whom are Europeans, ane have brought
with them European houses and streets
and shops and costumes. But with the
old city, inside the dingy walls that at
the beginning of this century inclosed
all there was of Beyrout, we can find
the same queer, narrow, crooked streets
and miniature shops as in Damascus or
Hannah.
Landing at the wooden pier by
small boat from the steamer, we met
our friends, the hawkers, in full cry.
Among the jostling crowd of travellers,
soldiers, porters, and beggars, they sell
and tlrive.-,St Nicholas.

FOO Happy for Anything.

1t isn't often that the man who takes
up the contribution in church is nom
plussed and forgets his business, but
such was the case recently, and this is
how it happened: Before singing the
doxology the minister had announced
that collection would be taken for the
foreign missionary work. A young
married couple were sitting in the
body OF the church. When the collec.
ton plate came around the groom.
thinking himself doubly blessed, felt
quite liberal. de put SIS bill in it,.
The man who was taking up the collec-
ton seemed dumfounded. He first
looked at the SIS and then at the giver:
then, whirling around, walked rapidly
up the aisle to the pulpit. He halted
there for moment, took another
glance at the bill, scratched his head
and came back to the groom. He
touched the young man on the shoulder
and whispered in his ear: How
much change do you want?" "Not q
darned cent" said the happy groom
