WEST SIDE EVENTS.
What Representative Men Think About
the Amendments to the Viaduct Or.
dlnance General Disgust Felt.

Among the public spirited citizens on
the West Side the action of common
council Thursday night in tacking on
raft Of amendments to the viaduct or
dtnance was looked upon with general
disgust. The question is: will the
attention paid to other sections of the
city makes votes for the viaduct meas
ure. or will the additional appropria-
tions asked for injure the proposition
on election day?"
Druggist John ]. Davies, to a Trib-
une reporter, expressed his opposition
to the "tacked on" amendments. Mr..
Davies thought that the people would
not vote for so great an appropriation.
But" said he, do you know that
some people are in favor Of these other
improvements at this time. They
think that by helping the people in
other sections Hyde Park itself would
be benefited; that the viaduct meas
ure will never pass on its own single
merits. but that 1t must have some
spirit Of other than Hyde Parkers."
Mr.. Davies favored style Of viaduct is
the kind built on Market street. in
Philadelphia. This would be q solid
construction of masonry built upon
and taking the place of West Lacka-
wanna avenue. The buildings on the
sides could be SO remodeled that the
viaduct would be to them as the road
was before the change. The second
story, for instance, would be the first
under the new order of things, and the
stories below the top of the viaduct
could be used as store rooms or as
cellars.
H. d. Jones. ex-city assessor, and a
member of the West Side board Of
trade, Is one Of the few West Side
people who favor the tacking on. Mr..
q ahn .hrAx a lrn n
least: THAT Wyoming avenue extern
SION" he said. "ls needed. There is
only one street in the city which is a
direct outlet to the Green Ridge Sec
tion, that is the much ,tumbled up
Washington avenue. BY extending
Wyoming avenue the city would have a
better outlet, as the grade is better"
Mr.. Jones favOrs the viaduct on the
south side of the avenue, according to
the oliver plan. ,...
DR.. w. A. Paine does not believe in
the tacking on business. He pointed
out that Hyde Park did not want the
Linden street bridge; 1t was forced
upon us. What is wanted is the via
duct. that above all other earthly
things.
John H. Reynolds calls upon the
West Side cOuncilmen to unite in Op-
posing any improvement advanced by
any other part Of the city until the
viaduct proposition Is allowed to go
before the people.
T. Fellows Mason, eX-president of
the board of trade. is not in favor of
the punched Improvements. He favors
the Oliver plan.
The plan of viaduct, which is to
cross from Nealis' court to the south
erly end of the Lackawanna avenue
bridge does not meet with much favor.
Quite q number of gentlemen had plans
Of their own. One was to bridge across
from the corner Of Fairview avenue
and Price street to the Scranton end
of the Lackawanna avenue bridge.
Councilman GilrOy was much talked
of. One viaduct enthusiast who paid
his compliments to him, said: He
wants to buy his own property and
have some one else pay an exorbitant
price for it,

pany Is anxious to construct line from
Main avenue to the Back road and to
give u twenty minute service to the
people In the untapped Keyser valley.
Owing to the narrOwness of the first

to have the line opened ON this street
that at the conference yesterday Presi-
dent Clarke in behalf of his company
offered to pave the entire width of the
street for the three narrow blocks for
the privilege Of laying the track on
the side close to the curb stone. The
board did not favor the Lafayette street
line at any consideration and the dis
cussion turned to other thoroughfares.

A Philadelphia Husband Dispenses With

A newly married man, who had never
had much experience in doing small
jobs about the household, told several

gain his wife's approval by doing ia

said he. "Well, I purchased fine lit

he could get at about the house and
nearly worried my wife's pet cat to
death. Then she suggested that get a
carpenter to build a pen in the yard for
him. But was strong on the economy

12 feet of wire netting. 1t was the kind

evenings and finally completed it.
Then called my wife to bring out the
pup, and also expected to receive her
congratulations. Triumphantly placed
the dog inside the Enclosure and then
waited to have my wife bestow her
praise. The pup walked around the in

up the coarse netting as easily as il it

outside, and he's been at large ever

The thing created always speaks OF
the Creator. 1t proves the existence of
Creator, and more than that it tells us
much of His character and His power.
God created the natural world. In the
beginning God created the heavens and
the earth. " Naturally, therefore, we
would expect nature to speak of God,
and that much about God could be seen
in nature. This is the fact The inyls1-
BILE things are seen by the things that
do appear.
1. In nature we see proof of Gods
existence. The existence of the world
proves Gods existence. A thing created
must have had a creator. Every effect
must have had cause. The world IS an
effect. There was q time when 1t dld
not exist. Science as well as Scripture
teaches this fact. 1t must have had
beginning and a creator. The adapta-

Tho Valley of Shadow.

In various places and ON many occa-

in this life-at the cross, in the sacra-

and now once again He appoints us a

Shadow, where, in the quietness and
seclusion as in the lovers glade, He will
expect us one day. Is there any spot on

not been transformed by love? Are there

THIS TO PREVENT sEAsIcKNess.

New York Doctor Prescribes Mixed Pep
tone, Sherry and Cracked Ice.
A New York physician has originated
anovel preventive for seasickness, which
has the advantage of being simple and
seemingly sure. At all events, it was
tried with marked success upon young
woman who is always affected by the
comparatively slight motion of sound
steamers and railroad trains. In her
case, after two doses. she was able to
bear without inconvenience tho rolling
beyond Sandy Hook and the subsequent
tossings of the voyage.
The remedy is the administration
every half hour of two spoonfuls of pep
tone in sherry, cooled by pouring over
cracked ice. The theory of this is no
less interesting than the dose itself The
young doctor argues that the swallow
ing of frequent small quantities of pre-
digested and slightly stimulating food
produces a sedative effect upon the
stomach and counteracts the jouncing
brought about by the incessant and vio'
lent motion of Il ship at sea.
Other doctors have quite lately in
vented seasickness cure consisting of
cocaine or bromides, the latter in large
doses, these being given with the design
of dulling the stomach, as it were, and
so preventing nausea But it cannot be
learned that any actual results have
been attained in this way--New York

Breathing an Atmosphere of Purity Wards
on Deadly Disease.
The loss of pure air, sunshine and
other free goods and their effect on the
physique of city jewellers are not ade-
quately compensated by hygienio re-
forms of town life itself, while the in
creased number and complexity of SEN
Stations impose greater strain upon the
nervous system. The nervous degenera-
tion which thus accrues may perhaps be
checked in time by further hygienic i'm
provement of the town and by gradual
readjustment between the nervous sys-
tenn and its changed environment. But
meantime grave physical injuries arise
directly from those very economic
changes which have raised the economic
condition of the great mass of the work
ers and have probably reduced the
quantity of purely economic poverty.
When we reflect that the physical in
juries of town life, attested by tables of
mortality and impaired muscular act1v-
ity, fall most heavily upon the poor, we
shall see grave reasons of industrial and
social life arc generally favorable to the

or the residuum-that is to say, whether
he gets any net vital advantage out of
the higher rate of real wages which he
obtains when he is working.
When we also bear in mind that each
year higher proportion of the workers
are living in large towns, where the
duration of life is about 10 per cent less
than in the country, and that the age of
enforced retirement from regular wage
earning is, by reason of the strain OF
competition and the regulations Of trade
organizations, considerably earlier than
it was formerly, and that an increased
irregularity of employment is diseerni-
BILE in many of most trades, we may
hold it doubtful whether the average
worker of the lower order makes total
life wage which is any higher than he
made formerly. The conclusion applied
by Charles Booth to the whole body Of
workers that ''in one way or another
effective working life is ten years longer
in the country than in town" has an
important significance when we remem-
Der that each decennial census shows a
growing proportion of workers subject
to the conditions of town life. -Contem-
