AN UNSIGHTLY HUMP.
An 0pportune Time to Improve Penn.
sylvania Avenue.

There is very ugly hump on Prnnsyl
vania avenue between the B. II ..
| bridge and Woodlawn avenue. 1t was
understood that it was the intention of
the Street and Sewer Department to re-
move the hump and bring the street 30
city grade three or four years ago but
as yet it has done nothing and the hump
is still uIsightly to behold and the steep
grade found an impeachment to driving.
As the Peoples Railway Company is
about to cross Woodlawn avenue, it
would be Il very oporlune tim" To have
the street put down to city grade and
the hump taken off II, the same time.
1t has been suggested that if the Street
and Sewer Department cannot see its
way clear at the present time 10 make
this expenditure the Peoples Railway
Company might be induced to remove h"
hump and bring Woodlawn avenue To
grade and the Street and Sewer De.
partmrnt could later reimburse the com
pAny
Should the Peoples Railway Company
put down its tracks on the street in its
present condition. it would later on c"~r
the city double the Hmount Woodlawn
avenue could be brought 10 grade at al
present as then the railway tracks would
have to be contcndcd with 1t would
probably be in the interest of economy
to both til" city and the railway company
to have the work done at the present
time.
WooIlawn avenue should also be put IN
shape for driving purposes. This avenue
is the only one that can be used to cni rr
North Rrandywinc Park from Union
street to Rising Sun Lane and is at the
present time the only entrance to Wa.
waSsrt Driving Park. Tn" hump being
on Pennsylvania between the bridge and
Woodlawu avenue is an impodment TO
the entrances TO both parks and also a
very ugly eye sore.
1t would be to the interest of the Pco-
pies Railway Company to bring Wood
lawn avenue to grade, MS it would induce
people to build along the street and as
II result would bring moro people along
IFS line and mean increased trolley lraf-
iiv.

THEATRE GOSSIP

The necessity punctuation, or rather
the lack OF careful observance of it, was
never 80 clearly demonstrated as in a
letter recent y ADDRESSED to William H,
West, the minstrel.
Far be it from the writer to stir I'D
any marital discord in the West bIissiul
domesticity, but careful perusal of a

fears which might arise in the readers

the devotion OF the yonng woman was
not, as may be supposed, brought to an

ton occurred, Mr.. West was the recip.

So persistent were the requests for
reply that Mr.. West fell unawares, as it
were, to the caprices OF Dame Courtesy
and expressed his pleasure at the young
lady's appreciation OF minstrelsy as pre-
pared by the West aggregation.
Like unto the fate OF lots wife, whose
untimely end has undoubtedly saved
other wives from go salty leave taking

was abruptly discontinued by the ab-
sence OF mere comma. The following
letter received the other day is self ex-
planatory:
"My Dear Mr.. West:-No doubt you
will be surprised to learn that Miss
Blank and Mr.. G- were married
last week. They did not leave town on
the same day although the knot was
tied at 5 p. m. Some of the girls and |
went to their room in the hotel and
turned everything upside down by way
OF making things lively for them. |
think brides are foolish to remain in
their own home on their wedding day.

once"
Sincerely yours,
And although the answer has not vet
been sent, Mr.. West is still wondering
what she meant. Mr. West will appear
at the Opera House on August 5.
