That Pipe Connection Be Made Before

the attention of owners Of property

streets are torn up in the course of re.
euffacing. He said yesterday: After
the contemplated improvements Of these
streets they will be without doubt the
finest thoroughfares in the city. To have
the streets cut up by making connection
between buildings and sewers. water

Increase of Whales.

IF whales were as profitable as they
formerly were fortune could now

of Cape May, recently. "A few days ago
several whales appeared in sight Of
Cape May. I was at Santa Barbara last
year and the school of whales protected
by the government has so increased in
numbers that it is seldom some of them
are not in sight of land. In both the
Atlantic and the Pacific they are not
uncommonly seen as far south as the
usual lines of ocean travel. Compare
lively speaking, they have been left
alone since the. general introduction Of
petroleum, although a limited number
find ready market at fairly remunera-
tive prices, but the oceans are not
hunted over for them as in former
years, and it is remarkable how rapidly
they have increased. The captain of a
schooner told me he had sighted FIVE
of the monsters only few miles from
Observation-Disclosures Star.
