CROWDS AT SWIMMING POOL
Relief From Hot Weather Found in
Cool Waters.

These hot days. with the suns sim
mering rays holding the mercury above
80 degrees, boys and men in great num-
bers have found relief in the waters of
the swimming pool in Brandywine
Park. The attendance has been large on
pay days as we'll as ON the days when
there is no charge for admission. Few
women have bathed in the pool 60 lar
this season.
Though the days have been hot the
water has not warmed up yet and the
bathers find it rather cool when taking
their swim. But more weather of the
kind which has prevailed for the past
few days, will bring the water to more
comfortable temperature and the bath
house will be besieged by crowds Of
boys eager for q cooling plunge.

QUESTION ABOUT PORCHEs.
May be Taken Up by Street and
Sewer Directors.

A question of several years standing
which probably will be taken up again
by the, directors OF the Street and Sewer
Department is the matter of porches of
residences extending beyond the build
ing line. In several localities of which
note has been made by the department,
the building lines have been encroached
upon.
A year or so ago the matter was before
the board but no action was taken. Re-
Gently it was again brought to the atten-
tion Of the department and no doubt
will be considered in short time.

THE UNPARALLELED CRIME.

On Jan. "a, 1893, the United States
battleshlp Maine was ordered to
Havana on mission Of international
courtesy and good will. She was re-
ceived with Spanish courtesy and as
signed to n government mooring in
the tideless barber.
On the night of Tuesday, Feb. Is,
1898, while the crew WAS asleep, II
government torpedo was disch arged
beneath the ship and 266 American
sailors were murdered i'll their hunks.
This unparalleled crime was tho cul-
mination of Spain's criminal career.
Lying attempts we're made by Spanish
officials to deny the guilt, but no one
believed them. The evidence showed
that they had lured the American sail-
ors to mooring over torpedo That
had been placed there before the ship
arrived, aud Mt Il convenient season
tho torpedo WINS discharged.
Tho Spaniards have been punished
for this act of treachery by the loss of
their colonial possessions, but no one
can recall the story of the Maine with
out feeling that their punishment bore
no relation to their crime. They got
ninety days for murder.
nprino the last month or two divers
have mnlo II thorough examination of
the wreck Of the Maine with view to
raising it, and they have found her
magazines, containing 800 tons of pow
