THE Gun Boar WHEELING"
Seventh Ward" Makes a Suggestion or
Two About Colnrs.

Seventh Ward" Makes a Suggestion or
Two About Colors.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-A citizen of the First ward pa
triotically suggests that the ladies Of
our city furnish the cOlOrs Tor the gun
boat Wheeling.
We know little about gunboats, but
we had some good advice given us
about colors once. An eX-member Of
the Chicago Board of Trade told me
that a friend promised TO name a new
lake vessel after him if he would furnish
the cOlOTs.
Our friend Wilbur assented. thinking
il a fine thing TO see a trim little vessel
with his name emblazOned on her,
steaming forth from port 10 port. He
intended TO do the handsome thing, and
have the cOlors made Of the finest silk
with bullion fringe.
Go ahead and name her, I'll furnish
the colors. said Wilbur.
Next day he received a telephone
message asking if it were all right to
place the order for colors in his name.
of course" said Wilbur, but say,
about what will they cost?'
About seven hundred and fifty to
eight hundred dollars.
Say. then don't name that vessel at
ter me-name il after some one else.
Our friend was under the impression
that a vessels colOrs and the colors Of
torchlight procession were somewhat
similar, merely a flag on pole instead
of a line of bunting that would reach
from Dan TO Beersheba.
If the complement of colors of the
gunboat Wheeling are TO be like those
of other vessels of the high seas, and
especially war vessels, our ladies had
better sail right in to work at once.
There's the big white elephant on the
red flag of Siam TO be stitched IN; an
ugly green dragon TO be embroidered
ON the yellow flag of China; the big
white scissors on the red Morocco flag;
the spreading peacock on the Persicn
banner: and bars. stars and crosses IN
Vulnerable for the nations OF the earth;
then there is the complement OF all
these in pilot flags for each IT,. ectiye
nation. then comes the international
signal flags: then a score or more OF
our own official pennants, and then
some
We think this a little severe upon the
ladies. when we consider the vast
amount of toll to be expended, not in
Guiding the expenditure attached. and
moreover, the government furnishes
C0lOrs.
Why not. to accompany the silver and
china service. to furnish the required
table linen. handsomely embroidered
nv the fair fingers of Wheeling's noble
daughters?
This suggestion is offered by a citi-
ION of tho SEVENTH WARD.

PerSOnally-COnd Tours Via Penn

1t would be hard to find any condition of
human ailment that n Winter visit to Florida
would fail to improve, while those who en-
joy good health cannot realize, without ex-
perience. what true enjoyment there is in
life passed under the golden skies of the
Land of Flowers"
In order to give the public an opportunity
to VISIT Florida ut n very reasonable cost, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has arranged
for series of tours to Jacksonville. Since
the system of personally. conducted tours in.
augurated by that company has been in effect
none but words of commentator have been
received. Its uneXceled train service, ex-
perienced Tourist Agents and Chaperons, and
above all, its modern charges, leave nothing
10 be desired.
The tours to Jacksonville, allowing two
weeks stay in Florida. will leave New York
and Philadelphia on January 2S. February
4, IL, 49, and %, and March 3, 1896. The
rate, including transportation, meals en- route
and Pullman berth on special train. is $780,
from New York, and $4S.00 from Philadel-
phia; proportionate rates from other points.
For further information apply to Ticket
Agents, or address Tourist Agent, 1876 Broad

Station, Philadelphia, to whom application
for space should also be made.
