10 Approaching. and One Publisher An
nounces His Plans,

= o
The every.o.her-year city directory
season Is approaching. and the publisher
otone, Mr.. W. L. Calm, has announced
his plans for the 1895. work. In addition
to the ordinary directory OF names NJ
phabetically. AIR. Calm will introduce
ar! innovation, which he explained to an
Intelllgencer reporter yesterday after
noon. Said Mr., Calm:
= THE streets will be arranged In alpha
beacal order, regardless OF their loca-
ton, with the numbers on each street
numerically arranged. showing after
each number the name OF the occupant.
By this means you can tell at q glance
Just who resides in any particular
house. The value OF such a compilation
to a. business man Will readily be seen,
for 1t Is often embarrassing to ask 3.
customer for his or her name, especially
when Il happens to be some one you
know, but canont for the moment recall
! the name. By the aid Of the street d.
rectory portion OF this work, however.
| II you get the house number you have
the name at q glance"
!. In connection with his street directory,
Mr.. Calm speaks OF the need OF council
taking action regarding. the systematic
and thorough numbering OF houses on
the Island, and In other parts OF the city.
where there is distressing ,dearth OF
house numbers, AT the same time coun-
{ Gil might provide for placards bearing,
ing the numbers or names Of the streets
on corner houses. Visitors Ia Wheeling
often refer TO the difficulty they ex-
pericnce in finding persons on account OF
the almost entire absence OF these signs
or placards.

"But now the demonstrations ARE get

republicans, who would quickly turn these
demonstrations into anti-dynastic or anti
monarchial demonstrations, or at least up
