WITH all the hue and cry Of bad drink
Ing water, Philadelphia seems to be about
!as healthy as any Of the large cities. There
4is no doubt but that the people thrive all
night on the water they have had furnished
them daily for the last half century from
sthe several reservoirs by tho Water De-.
}partment Probably the Water Depart
iinent is being conducted like the Gas De-
partment, which the city recently sold to
the United Gas improvement Company,
which is making thousands of dollars
every month by furnishing the citizens Of
the Quaker City with gas. Like every
thing else, tho citizens have gotten in
the habit Of growing and their papers
having taken it up, serve it all summer
,nd when winter sets in forget all about
the horrible drinking water until the next
summer. II half the money spent in
erecting tho new public buildings had been
used In improving the city's water supply,
At would have been a wiser expenditure of
money Health Is preferable to riches,
ias 1t Is about the only thing riches willnot
buy. Good, pure and wholesome drink.
Ing water is aGod send to any city and its
Inhabitants.

i THERE ia one thing certain and that Is
that II the leaders in the Republican party
! think they can do as they please and play
fast and loose with the people, they will,
at the coming election be doomed to defeat
90 crushing that they will never be able to
exert influence enough to hoodwink the
,svolers again as long as they live. Lots Of
leaders, who were powers In their day in
I our little Diamond State, have passed away
and are nearly forgotten to-day by the
\ masses Of voters. Like time they have
passed away forever, and others taken
their places who may or may not be as
capable of leading the party to victory.
The new REPATRIATION laws were intended
to do away with padded elections and thus
give Delaware fair election on its face,
the hope being that colored Republicans
4 would be disfranehised, by making 1t as
hard as possible for them to qualify. Then
again 1t was thought many white Repub.
; licans would not take enough interest in
! the elections to get registered. Dssension
has again stuck its hydra-head up to be
whacked by the voters at the corning cleo
tlon. The Kilkenny cats" are still! about
/ and have their claws sharpened for another
conflict and will gladly welcome one. The
actions Of some men remind us of Jack,
the Giant Killer.

Affairs at Dover,

Miss Margaret B. Buroheneal, daughter
OF Joseph Burcheneal, died yesterday Of
typhoid fever. Miss BurcheneAl was a
popular young lady Of 10.
Postmaster Casson has received his com.
mission and will assume control Of the
office OH next Thursday.
At the new State house work Is pro-
crossing rapidly.
On the first floor Is the offices of the
Governor, SECRETARY of State, State Treas
urer, State Auditor and the library. They
are all handsomely furnished with very
comfortable dark green leather furniture
and woodwork Of walnut
and House chambers. The House is 1ine
large room taking almost the entire floor
and Is furnished with thirty fine walnut
desks, rcd carpet and dark woodwork. On
The walls hang the pictures Of all the Gov
ernors mp to the present.
On this floor In the back part of tho
building Is the Senate Chamber, which is
finished In dark green three quarter ouk
furniture with everything to match. One
advantage III the alteration Is that Sena.
tor or Representative can go to and from
each chamber without going into the cor
ridor, BY going through the cloak rooms.
The third floor comprises the clerks
and Is also finished in dark wood with fur
niture to match.
After the building is flnishei the people
who previously frequented The Safe
House would hardly know 1t as every.
thing is changed and presents , different
appearance. The outside IL to be painted
almost the same as before The walls are

Threatened Shutdown Prevented.

1HFeHleueu SHUTDOWN TreVeHIeOs
Hazleton, Pa, Aug. 25.-seven hun
Gred men employed at the Audenried
and Honey Brook strippings of the Lee
high and Wilkesbarre Coal company
went out on strike yesterday, and those
who did not strike were told to go home
by the company officials until the
grievances which caused the difficulty
are adjusted. The Inauguration of the
strike is said to be due to the dis
charge Of two Hungarian night shift
laborers in the No. 1 stripping, whose
discharge, the men claim was unjust.
The company officials state that the
men were incompetent for which reas-
on their services were dispensed with
and two other laborers engaged. Sup
erintendent Richards posted a notice
at the colleries to the effect that if the
men did not return to work at once the
mines would be shut down for the bal.
ance of the year. The strikers held q
meeting last night and decided to re-
turn to work this morning.

BUILD BALCONIES
A Good susgsatisn TO Owners Of Apart
msnt Houses.

4 Good susssatisn to Owners Of Apart
mont Houses.
Why are not all apartment houses
furnished with balconies? A man that
owns or rents house can sit on tho
doorstep and enjoy the cool Of the
evening; but what boon balcony
would be to those that are now stided
In fats.
The poets are with you. When Tom
Clinch rode stately through London
streets to be hanged,
The maids to the doors and balconies
s4ran,
And said, Lack-a-day! he's a proper
young man.
The loving wife of Mr.. John Gilpin
spied him from balcony. Byron
compared Venetian danes leaning
over the balcony" to Venuses Of Titan.
There are instances galore. O balco-
MES, guitars, serenades, the fall Of q
handkerchief or rose, stock incidents
Of operetta! And 1t is indeed a Joy to
oAoAS Ro0SoAuAy IAuo Dubpcuucu III
air after shutdown, dropping matches
or tobacco ash on those passing under.
Then the close presence OF the adored
one in the dusk; with murmurous
conversation, with the sense of isola-
ton!
But there are coarse, prosaic men in
petty authority who look askew at bal
comics save for purposes of revenue.
Thus at Munster in Westphalia tho
town council has decided to put tax
on balconies-$50 for those which pro-
ject beyond the walls, and $3.50 for
those that are less ambitious. 1.-THE
Council has decided that the balcony
is frivolous, lends itself to idle gazing,
spirit Of criticism, and tendency to
impractical irritation" This sounds
as though 1t came from the Connecti-
cut Of earlier years. But our friend
the Classical Scholars assures US that
the owner Of the first balcony built in
ancient Rome taxed personally his ten
ants. "Maenius," Roman citizen, let
his house to the censors, Cato and
Flaccus. He then built out a balcony
and came into personal residence there,
In order to keep an eye on them"
