LTyELY THROWING OF MUD.

Delaware river tugboat men are in a
happy frame of mind at present, there
being a good demand for tugs from the
various dredging companies doing
work in the Delaware river to tow
scows. About seven local tugs have
been chartered. and four more are
wanted. There is a vast amount OF
dredging being done at presnet in the
river. It is not very long ago that sew
eral tugboat owners stated they were
not making profits. The chartering OF
these tugs by the dredging companies
will leave fewer of them to tow incom-
ing and outgoing vessels, so that all the
tugs will likely be kept busy for some
time to come.

More barks and brigs, especially the

trade principally to the West Indies
but at the present time there is not
much doing for this craft in that busi-

claimed two historic tayerns-the
George ". and the Black Lakeland the

There is the usual difference of opin-
ion as to the actual building which
Dickens had in his minds eye when he
wrote The Old Curiosity Shop" The
novel itself does not give any trust
worthy clew, and the distinction has
been claimed for "a Fetter lane, which
was pulled down early in 1891. The
preponderance of opinion inclines to
Portsmouth street, which is in a neigh
bohood replete with associations of
Dickens.
The street, which originally bore the
queer name of touches building, takes
its present name from Portsmouth
house, built by lingo Jones for the earl
of Portsmouth, the front of which is still
standing, but the interior has been en-
tirely transformed to meet the require
ments of modern days. The quaint old
house we illustrate is believed to be the
remnant of the dairy house of Louise
de Kerhouel, duchess of Portsmouth,
the "baby-taced" beauty, who so long
held the susceptible Charles II. in
thrall. Thus :he name of the street is
sometimes derived from the duchess
Sather than the earl.

Sold His Stories.
Will n. Harden is galloping grace
fully in the magazines now, says the
Atlanta Constitution. In early youth
Harden was fortunate enough to have
dozen stories accepted by a certain
leading magazine" He gave the
writer of this note a glimpse of the
checks for these stories, while he ex-
claimed, enthusiastically: Il feel like
1 could jump over six chairs!" That
was ten years ago, and his literary Ia
bors since then have sprinkled the gray
plentifully over Harben's black locks,
but, alasl not one Of those stories has
ever appeared in print! Letter after
letter to the editor who purchased them
brought only the response: 1--WE are
crowded" Finally-as Harden had put
his best work In the stories, and was
naturally anxious to have them add to
his reputation-he addressed this note
TO the editor:
"Wi1l my stories ever appear
The associated editor answered:
There is a conspiracy here to hold
them until you are dead, as they would
naturally have greater interest then
How is your hea1th2"
