william f. Haworth. OF Scotland. who has been
soiournlng at the Aldne, speaks OF Glasgow as the
model city OF the Continent Said he: over 3d.
OOO has been spent in giving the city most COM
plete set OF water works. Over twenty Years ago
the eccentric George Francis Train came to elias
cow from this country and offered to build street
railway through the city. In 1870 the city began
the construction OF Its own lines and after COM
p,eting them. leased them to a corporation upon
condition that they pay the city the whole interest
on the original Investment and. In addition
set aside sinking fund that at the end Of the
term would extlnguish the entire debt The road
was TO be kept the best OF order and Will be
turned TO the city during the present year, after
paving an annual rental OF $3.50 per mile. In this
way the city Of Glasgow takes possession soon or
a property worth millions OF dollars that has not
cost the city penny. The leasehold was sold
% the corporation for S75O.ODD and the fare was
limited to 2 cents per mile; all workingmen. how
ever, at certain hours OF the day were allowed TO
travel al cent per mile. During the whole OF this
lease term Notwithstanding these liberal payments
for the OF the franchise, the corporation de-
cared an average dividend OF 10 per cent
The city is also supplied with the very first
quality Of gas furnished by Its own plant the rate
being S. cents per 1900 feet Our population Is
about 100000 just onethird OF the number OF people
in Philadelphia. The net expense for cleaning the
per year is $4,000. but $4,000 ls de-
rived from the sale OF street garbage for farm
fertzlng purposes. and after the payment OF all
labor the net return 10 the city Is from 20 10 30
cents per ton on all garbage sold for farm fertiz-
ing Nothing but the odds and ends are inoinerated.
This may be an object lesson for Philadelphia"

THE PRICE OF GRocERS LIoroR LICENSES


To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Excise Commissioners OF New-fork
have proved that they so much under the In
nuence OF the quor-dealers that they cannot do
Justice TO any other class OF men who nave IL
cense The Commissioners had already promised to
reduce the grocers' license from 500 TO 500 on May
Is but when the Liquor Dealers Association waited
upon them they changed their minds. and refused
to grant the request OF the grocers.
The grocers OF this city who are selling wines and
liquors In bottles are now paying as much for the
privilege the liquor-dealers do for the right TO
sell by the glass This Is injustice TO the grocers
who are selling mostly wines by the bottle for the
accommodation OF customers making only very
small profit on these goods. and do not have the
right to sell by the glass while the quor-dealers
enjoy this valuable privilege, without any extra
cost
It is easier to make $1,000 on liquor sold by the
glass than II is to make 800 on the goods sold by
the grocers In bottles and II the privilege OF sell
ing wines and liquor by the bottle Is considered
worth 500. charge Of 5000 for the right to sell
by the glass would be- more IN accordance with
justice than an equal price for two 10 very unequal

Buying Land Near Elm Grove For Pur-
poses Not Known.
For some time Pittsbnrg capitalists
have been negotiating for land near
Elm Grove-just outside the corpora
tion limits. A few days ago these capt.
tallsts, through J. NJ. Shelley, Of Pitts
burg, as agent, bought the Andrew
Halstead property. This tract contains
thirty-two acres and the price paid was
Sc, 800. Negotiations are pending for
the same parties to buy more land ad-
Joining the Halstead farm, from Edward
Ackison, DR.. William Cracraft and
Henry Hsrvey. II they ouy this land,
which they doubtless will, it will add
twenty-five more acres Of this valuable
land to their tract.
What is to be done with the land Is
not yet officially stated by the new pro-
prietors. 1t has become generally be-
lieved that some kind Of works are to
be located there. At least the new
owuers are to lay the land of into build
ing sites in the near future. 1t is said,
too, that the purchasers will be given
easy terms until they themselves own
the valuable sites.

New Councn OrganIzed.

Monday night the newly elected Town
Council of Elm Grove was organized.
The new Councilman are J. Raab. John
Kiger, Robert Dougherty, George r. <.
Gilchrist aud Wilson Smith. The new
Mayor is Marshall Smith. The Record
err is George Hand. Because of the re-
cent complications In the municipal af-
fairs, much is expected from the new
Council. There was much speculation
and quite q spirited contest between
candidates as to who the new Council at
its first meeting would elect for City
Sergeant, Assessor and Street Commits
sioner. John Anderson was chosen City
Sergeant; VIM. Smith, ex-Mayor, was
chosen Assessor, and for Street Commits
sioner VIM. Wharton was chosen. The
first question the new Council at its
next meeting will take up is to decide
whether the town has been legally in
corpOrated or not.

Paines celery compound is the re-
suit of the lifelong study and expert
ence OF one Of the abest physicians OF
his day, Prof. Edward e. Phelps, NJ. d.,
LII. D., OF Dartmouth college,
His experience was one of the largest,
his scientific knowledge surpassed that

Prof. Phelps first prescribed Paine's

strength TO the weak, that makes the

nerves, that enriches impoverished
blood, that cures rheumatism, kidney
complaints, liver troubles, and all dis
