McClees, residing oil West stree t,have
sold portion Of their Philadelphia
real estate, situated on Delaware
avenue nenr Race street, to the Penn.
sylvania Railroad Company, for $l25,
600 cash. Tho sale was made by Mr..
George b. McClees. This property
was purchased some twenty-five years
or more ago by their brother, Edward
b. McClees, who carried on the lumber
business there for a number OF years,
He paid some Sl2 0C0 for tho property
and on his death he willed 1t to his sis
tors, some fifteen years ago. The
property In that locality has been con.
stantly on the increase owing to It's
close proximity to tho water, and the
constant increase OF water fronts by
the different railroads. It Is said, a
Wilmington real estate dealer had o
hand In the doal, but his modesty. to
publicity made him deny all knowl

STOVES

Are Invaluable and should be investl-
gated by careful housekeepers.
About l,200 are in use in this cityand
the number would be greatly increased
II their merits were fully understood.
AS Cookers they are unrivalled and
are far superior to coal or wood stoves
In cooking meats or vegetables.
As water lIeaterse and "Ironers"
they are most useful, especially when
the weather Is too warm to use the
ordinary stove or range.
AS heating apparatus that can be
m owed from room to >om in a few
minutes by the housekebper they are
HI ost convenient.
As assistant heaters In rooms where
furnace OF steam heat will not aecend
on tho windwarG side they have given
great satisfaction.
As permanent heaters In rooms that
cannot be reached by heating ilue5 they
hay given much comfort,
AS intermittent heaters, where heat
Is wanted only an hour or two at q
time. they sre economical.
! For offices aud stores, when the
weather Is rather warm for furnace
fires, they may prevent sickness.
For spring and autumn use, when
mild days make furnace fires oppres
slve, troublesome and expensive, they
are comfortable and economical.
As fires that can be started in min.
ute and extlnguished in less time, they
are most satisfactory.
As heaters that avoid ASHES. COAI
GAS and DUST they are valued by pru.
dent housekeepers.
Modern Gas Stovas are not only use.
! full. but are ornamental.
The gas, the stoves, the fixtures and
the putting in are quite inexpensive.

A lady and gentleman. residing in
our city, recently visited Ocean Grove,
n. j., and In the afternoon concluded
to take a bath In tho ocean. They nc.
cordingly procured bathing suits, and
after disporting themselves in the
brlny waves until they were fully sat.
isiied with the enjoyment, they deter
mined to resume their normal condi-
tlon, when the lady suddenly remem-
hered that she had not taken the num-
Der of the bath house In which she had
left her clothing, and was consequent
ly In very awkward predlcament.
She had but one recourse, and that was
to call at the different bath houses
until she could find the right one. In
the persistence OF her search sne be-
came somewhat annoyed, and some OF
the parties regarded her as crazy, but
finally succeeded In finding tho right
place, and after procuring her robes
she was extremely happy,and resolved
never to be caught In such fix again.
The next time she takes bath sLe will
remember the number of the bath
house.

Tho correspondent OF the Baltimore
Sun writes as follows:
All the repoi ts which have been re-
ceived In this city In the last few days
concerning Mrs. Harrlson's condition
have been OF the most encouraging ma
ture, and 1t Is now generally believed
here she Is on the road to recovery. As
has been stated, her severe, in fact
dangerous Illness has created the
greatest anxiety on the part OF her
friends.
As to the nature of the disease there
Is great difference of opinion. Shortly
after she was taken sick tho trouble
ach. This report doubtless arose from
Mrs. Lord, who died about two years
ago, was said to have been afflicted
with this dread disease, and although
this has been denied by intimate
friends OF the family many times, such
widespread currency was given to the
report at the time OF Mrs. Lords death
that 1t finally came to be somewhat
generally credited.
From this alone has arisen the ru-
NOR that Mrs. Harrison Ia suffering
from cancer, which must sooner or
later prove fatal While tho rumor
cannot be positively denied, owing to
the refusal of those who aro In posi-
ton to know to give out any intorma-
concerning it, 1t can DO stated that IL is
not generally believed here that Mrs.
Harrison is suffering from mnlady
which PLACES her life in immediate
danger.

ATnstIdious Young Woman.

A young woman called at residence
In the upper part of our city last even
Ing and made engagement to assist In
general house work. AS other parties
had called and were waiting OH tho
porch, the gentleman of tine house
stepped Into tho room and suggested
to the young woman IL she had no
objections he would let her pass out of
the alley gate. She assented to his
proposition. but on reaching her res
idence she wrote note expressing her
dlspleasure and saying she had been
accustomed to going In and out of the
front door, and not through the alley
like colored girl. and further she had
been allowed to use the parlor to en-
tertain her company. The indignity
she had suffered led her to break her
engagement, and In doing SO she ex-
pressed the hope that tho lady might
find girl who would, like darby, go
In and out of the alley cute and take
her meals in the kitchen without q
complaint The next thing we shall
hear that "the help" will demand the
use of the plano. and all privileges
enjoyed by the most favored members
of the family.
