How to Make a Breeze.

The citizen who from necessity or
otherwise clings TO his city haunts in
the height of summer is coming TO
realize that a great compilation has
dropped into his life in the snape of the
electric fan. The most enterprising
BARRIERS are fastening To increase the
comfort of their customers by installing
these fans in their saloons. and they
fini their business stimulated TO an un-
precedented extent. The proprietors of
restaurants are also falling into line,
and the man about town is not slow TO
show his preference for resort where
he can fulfill the wants of the inner man
in perfect comfort. though the ther-
mometer may be climbing 10 record
breaking heights.
\ new restaurant that not many weeks
ago was opened i'll part of Broadway
thickly studded with such establish
ments is already doing a phenomenal
business, while its neighbors are desert
ed. lis success is simply owing to the
fact that throughout its length a gentle.
even motion of the air Is maintained by
electric fans. One has TO look more than
once TO discover the source of the CRATE
full breeze. The fans give an almost i'm
peTceptible sound and are fitted to an
entirely new attachment Instead of
the usual permanent fixture a globe of
metal is suspended by three chains from
the roof near one Of the walls, and in
side this globe is the motor that works
the fan. Three fans suffice to keep
the whole restaurant delightfully."- cool.
When the small cost of such an arrange
ment is considered, it is surprising that
the electric fan should not be universally
adopted by those who cater TO the hun
ger and thirst of the public.

Superintendent Elliott, of the North
Cedar Hill cemetery. Frankford. has for
many nights past noted that his chick
ems We're mysteriously disappearing.
They were choice fowls, raised at great
expense, the envy of neighbors the
country around.
There is a pond short distance from
the superintendent honse, and near the
ride of this house are the chicken coops
Mr.. Elliott resolved to remain up all
night and keep watch over his property
The evening wore slowly away with
Dut any developments, but toward ?
b'clock in the morning his attention was
attracted by a rustling in the grass near
the coops, and on hurrying quietly there
was surprised 10 find that three 4-foot
water snakes had entered the coops
and seized upon "a many Of his choicest
fowls. The snakes had coiled around
the necks of the chickens, strangling
them, and were endeavoring to reach
the edge of the pond with their victims.
The superintendent succeeded in killing
all Of the snakes.
The water snakes were the largest of
their kind ever seen there. II is well
known fact 10 those acquainted with
the habits Of water snakes that they are
as fond of chicken as the traditional
country preacher Philadelphia Times.

Chat IL commits them to the support of
any proper prohibitory Act for the
Whole state which NAV be presented To
Inc next Legislature for its action. To
SNOW Inc binding character of this OBJ
nIs"tion IL is only necessary TO state
clearly the conditions under which ths
election on prohibition was held.
The Prohibition Convention snhmit-
iSs 1ea as It's conditions two propositions:
me hrSt, addressed to the Democrstic
VOTERS OF the State, was that they should
express by their votes at the first nri-
mary their will for or against prohihj-
Cioh as means of aScertaininv what
was the sentiment of the people of the
Whole state on this subject. This re !.
quest was responded to with a mani.
nlty so unexpected and remarkahIe
tnat our opponents have not vet rpcovo
ed.
The other proposition of the Conven-
tlon was addressed to the candidates for
the Legislature, urging that they should
before the election, declare their atti.
tude for or against prohibition in Or
der that It's friends might know wneth-
er to vote for or against them at the
primary. "A few candidates in the sew
eral counties announced their position
for or against the measure, but in most
instances they declined to do what the
Convention requested, but voluntarily
on their own part agreed to abide the
result Of the vote In the prohibition box
and support or oppose the measure in
the Legislature as the majority in the
boxes should determine.
with such pledge, voluntarily as
sumed by him, It's beyond belief that
any selt.reSpecting man who should be
| elected could, by any process Of evasion
bound to vote for prohibition in the
next Legislature. Certainly no such
na one can refuse to act with the Prohi-
bitionists and expect 20 retain the res

entS.
