MODEL HOMES.
The Glrard ESTATE WIN But
Houses for Workingmen.

The GlrRrd Estate Will butto
Houses for Workingmen.
Unique in every way will be the one
hundred residences which the Glrard
estate will erect during the coming
twelve months In South Philadelphia.
Not content to provide homes Of the
customary type for the city's wage
earners, the trustees have Just approved
series of plans, which, while not en-
tlrely original, are now, for probably the
first time. applied to city operations.
Porter street, between Eighteenth and
Nineteenth streets. is a part Of the Gil
rard estate, and on this site the trustees
have determined to erect one hundred
houses, which, when completed, will
rent for from s25 to S2s per month each,
Something entirely new to Philadelphia,
though. in successful operation in many
of the suburbs, will be introduced by
the trustees of the estate. whose pur-
pose is to provide heat and electric
lights from their own plant. These Will
be furnished 10 tenants for the nominal
sum of 50 month. In addition to this
landscape gardener will be employed
to keep in perfect condition the gardens
which will be laid out In front Of every
house In the row. This innovation will
not only beautIfy the premises, but, 1t
Is predicted. will materially enhance the
value Of the property. The services OF
the gardener will be at the disposal Of
those occupying the houses free Of
charge, and It will be his sole duty to
beautify the parkings under his
charge.
The houses are to be built OF brick and
stone, two and one-half stories front.
on lots 1876 feet deep. The private arChi-
tect for the Girard estate made the
drawings, but the contract has not as
yet been given out. Directly opposite
this proposed block Of ideal modern res
licences will be located the Girard Park,
which will add greatly to the attractive
ness and deslrabllIty OF the property for
residential purposes. Improvements,
such as paving the street at their own
expense have already begun, and no
effort or expense will be spared by those
having the matter in charge to make
this property popular with tenants pos
sesslng only moderate incomes.-Phil-
adelphla North American.

Where the frost is on the Stubblc
And the woods are cold and gray.

With his knees before the blaze,
And his pipe has yelled the ceiling

There are douEhnuts smoking hot,
And pile of rosy apples
From the twenty-0cre lot.

Though the aSlds with dead are planted
And the hArvestS fire and steel;
For a wave OF starry splendor
Breaks above the wasted cane
Where Old Glory spreads Its colorS

For that fiag that hles ABOVE US.

southern west Virginia.


stories Of the marvellous activity that
prevails throughout West Virginia only
show their ignorance OF what is going
on in the state. They are the kind of
people who would not believe the wind
was blowing unless cyclone struck
them. But it is a fact, nevertheless,
that the state is stridlng along at a
wonderful pace. and no other common
wealth is rcaping richer harvests from
the tide of prosperity that is sweeping
over the country than West Virginia
is securing. And the development is Of
kind that is permanent, a foundation
upon which a stu grander advancement
viii stand. Cumulative evidence Is
coming to hand every day in substan-
tiatIon Of these assertions. and in no
section of the state is the song of pros
perity more vigorously sung than in
the southern portion. 1t is fact that
there is not mill or industry OF any
kind south Of the Kanawha river that
is idle, and in every locality the demand
for labor vastly exceeds the supply,
while many projects are postponed for
the lack of men to do the work. A
great building boom is on in all the
towns throughout this section with the
artisan and the mechanic enjoying
fuller rewards than have come to them
in years past.
AS a sample of this extraordinary de-
mand for labor Flat Top coal operator
is reported as saying: Five thousand
more miners 1re needed in the coal
fields along the Norfolk & Western
railroad. A number Of mines are now
almos. idle from the simple fact that
miners cannot be secured" Reports Of
a similar nature come from the timber
regions along the Big Sandy. Twelve
Pole Guyandotte and Coal rivers, A
number of timber concerns on the GU
yan are now paying laborers In their
camps as high as 50 a day. and would
employ more men at the same figures II
they could be had.
Keeping pace with all this industrial
activity railroads arc not only being
perfected hut are being built. One of
100 miles in length has already begun
to stretch itself from Huntington to
PInevlIle, wyoming county, penetrating
the counties Of CabeIl. Lincoln, Logan
and Boone and opening up a new tim
Der and coal region equal to any in the
state.
The Chesapeake & Ohio railroad
shops at Huntington are now employ
ing 1900 men, decidedly the largest
number in their history, and still some
departments are at least six weeks be-
hind with their work. A similar NUM-
Der Of men are at work In the plant of
the American Car and Foundry Com
pany in that city, with orders booked
ahead for hGif-year's run. All the
large conterns In Central City, suburb
OF Huntington, are in full blast day and
night. and there is cry for more labor
ors on every hand.
All Of these things are coming 10 US

policies have given confidence to tImld

The Nation to-day viii bow its head
in Thanksgiving to the Oliver Of all good
things. AS 1t was promised that right
eousness would exalt nation the
United States to-day affords no finer
exemplIficatlon of the verify Of that
scrlptural trulsm. It's institutions and
its people stand to-day for the greatest
progress and development among the
nations Of the earth since the beginning
Of time, and wherever Its dag
has been carried will be
found the most happy con-
tented and upiifted peoples. Under Its
benehcent folds dwells the real power Of
the Universe; under its protection civil
lisation has gained Its most conspIcu-
GUS victories. and through the inhu-
ences and genius Of American ideals
the world has been made better
To-day the republic of American
states stands flrmer than II ever did.
AS a friend Of humanity and the ensr-
getIc advocate OF freedom and liberty
it has at one bound leaped to q pima
Gle never before mounted, gaining The
admiration and respect Of continents
and peoples who were wont to scoff at
The battles of Manila and Santiago
are as significant to US as were Ira
faigar and the defeat OF the Spanish
Armada to England. Those splendid
victories of American arms not only
helped the speedy subsection of Spain
but lifted the flag Of American suprern-
acy at the very gates of the far East.
The smoke of that battle had hardly
cleared away before we saw the shadow
OF the great American republic flung
vast, benehcent and far over the troPic
isles and populous coasts Of Asia. Thus,
ina new and unexampled sense, Amer
lea has become a world power And
the people have clearly expressed their
unalterabie purpose to remain such.
its vigor and virtue.
Our humane interference in Cuba has
brought US responsibilities that we're
not dreamed of. but having been given
into our keeping there has been no
Sinking Of duty that was committed
to us by wise Providence. Prosperity
has come to the Nation after years Of
trial. distress and depression. There
has been a harvest Of plenty, there is
now occupation for all who seek to be
occupied. The forge. the loom, the
mart, the mine. the factory. and the
field testify to His benefcent and
gracious favor. The wealth Of other
countries is coming to our shores in ex-
change for our products, while In our
own midst dwell peace and plenty.
1t is united country. fractional anil
lnosItles are no more. The asperitIes
arising from the war between the states
have been softened; there is now a
community OF interests between the
north and the south, and forever on
this continent but one flag will ny SUI
preme-the stars and stripes. We arc
now on the doorstep of new century,
and In all humbleness and humility
while giving thanks for our present
creature comforts and secure autonomy
as a nation, let us not neglect to render
tribute to the source Of all gifts. and
reverently implore continuance Of His
guidance in the future.
