TO REMODEL THE CLAYTON no USE.


Inspects the Clayton House and Deter
' mines That 1t Must Be RemodeIed.
A committee of the Banking House Cor
poration, comprising George S. Capelle,
Joseph L. Carpenter, Jr., James p. Win
chester, Lewis C. Vandegrift. George w.
Bush and a. James Belt, went over the
Clayton House Wednesday on a tour of in
spection of the big hotel which is the prom
eIty OF the corporation.
They came to the unanimous determi-
nation that something must be done to
relieve the building Of its gloominess, an
architectural defect which has been the
criticism Of the public for years in regard
especially to the first floor. 1t is the in
tention Of the committee in charge to have
the building made more attractive. They
propose inviting the opinion of a pro-
fessional hotel architect in order TO ascer-
tain what may be done to remedy the de-
feet. The trouble is altogether with the
first floor and the basement. The upstairs
rooms seem all right. They are very
cheerful, attractive apartments with high
ceilings.
The intention is to have the front of the
building modernized and all of the first
floor. One of the directors remarked last
Thursday I'VE are determined to do some
thing. 1t will never do the way 1t is" The
committee think the property well worth
Independence and that if suitable changes
are made, doing away with the impression
OF gloominess which is gained on first i'm
preston, the Clayton House may be made
a hotel worthy of the city of Wilmington.

When visitor to the Chicago Fair
several weeks ago asked to see the Kill
kenny cats in the Irish village some one
cruelty referred him TO the lady man
ayers, but it is probable he avenged the
insult and continued his Investigation
no further. Just what became of the
individual is not definitely known, but
certain it is he was sorely disappointed
at not seeing the Kilkenny cats.
This stranger was probably brother
TO the individual who desired To know
in what building hes could find the
Ferris wheel, but when q rural Worlds
Fair tourist asked another if he could
see the Liberty Bell in the Delaware
Building the colored janitor was seized
with fit. : II was with the greatest
difficulty he could lie resuscitated.
Another fellow strolled into the
Worlds Fair Puck Building and stood
gazing at one Of the young men in the
front Office. When the latter INQUIRED
whether he could do anything for him
the stranger asked:
"Be you the man who makes the
jokes l see in Puck 'casionly ?'
When informed by the person thus
addressed that he was connected with
PLck's humorous department, the be-
lated stranger replied;
well, lswan. You don't look funny"

The Junketers.

The Board of Railroad Assessors
passed through this city Tuesday af-
ternoon. While 1t is supposed that
this Board is out on q business tour,
from the outside 1t looked to the HER
AID more like pleasure party. This
annual inspection OF railroads by the
assessors is a relic of the past that
should be done away with, and more
especially when as this year the trips
are turned into junketing tours
for the assessors, their families and
intimate friends, No man or set of
men can or will ix taxable values OF
railroads justly after trips Of the kind
that passed through here.
The train was one of the best that
the company could get up, Had a
dining car and Pullman, and went
through the county at a high rate Of
speed, The people Of this section ex-
pected different methods of doing
business OF this nature than have been
pursued III the past, and will no doubt
condemn the assessors for accepting
any favors from corporations, more
than the law requires. The Topeka
JOwRdt says Of a similar trip made
over the Santa Fe last week.
"Ihls matter of riding over the
railroads to inspect them IS largely
buncomDe anyway. The tax commls
sioner of each road presents the road
with full list Of all property aud
makes Il sworn statement as to the
value OF each item. From these
sworn statements the assessors take
the figures by which they make the
assessment, aud the trip over the
lines IL not for the purpose Of count
ing all the ties, making list of the
tools in each section house, listing all
the hand cars and extra headlights,
or investigating the truthfulness Of
the report of the railroads tax COM
missioner as to the number OF cog
wheels in each turn table on the sys
TEN. These little details do not
bother the average board OF assessors
and from their behavior on this pleas
nre excursion over the Santa Fe last
week the present hoard OF assessors
is not any better than those that pre-
cpded it. AS matter Of fact. the
board of assessors stopped just 40
minutes in Argentine. where the
Santa Fe has 30 miles Of side-track,
thousands of cars and one Of the big
gpst COLLECTIONS Of rolling stock in the
United States.

A Scene Behind the Bars !

by an Eye Witness,
Today PhIllipsburg can boast Of
having three kinds of time noun
tain Tune, central time, and hi of
a time. The latter took place in the
county Jail Thursday, the 18th. The
contestants in the skirmish were, as
commonly: known, Hop Tea Shorty"
and "Bunco Bill" A lively combat
ensued for al least ten seconds in
which "Bunco Bill" was sorely de-
feated.
Hop Tea Shorty's" left upper cuts
landed firmly on "Bunco's" Jaw, but
did not have quite the desired effect,
owing to the luxurious growth Of side
whlskers on the latter, The first
round ended in favor Of "Hop Tea
Shorty" and as providence had
wisely ordained, the first round was
the only one. The rattling Of tin
pans and breaking chairs added to
the fluent flow of profane language,
soon brought to the scene our worthy
jailer, accompanied by at least twenty
pair Of anxious, eager looking eyes,
the former demanding an explana-
ton consisting Of the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth. He
was informed that the difficulty arose
from-strange TO say--a difference Of
opinion. He arrived just in time to
hold an inquest over the silent re-
mains Of n dilapidated chair and to
see "Bunco" draw himself up to his
full height and with earnest endeay-
ors proceeded to discuss his superior
muscular power accompanied by
never-failng stick to-lt-ive ness. Gate
receipts were handed over to the ref
cree, and again peace prevails.
In many cases We could prevent
A disposition to resent
But natures way IL not to try,
But grub chair and lot II fly.
