NEW YARDS
FOR R. R.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany Is now at work on its new
yards near Edge Moor.

ing constructed by Contractors A..

be situated east of the main tracks.
WorEmen on Monday began its
construction. Work also has begun
on the incline for the east yard anC
is directly over Shellpot Creek The
incline for the west yard will be at
u point near Marsh Road.
The east yard will be completed
in the course Of a few weeks but
west side or sOuthbound tracks
will not reach state Of completion
before October Other work is to
follow and the finishing touches
will not be added within a year
The yards are to be lighted by elec.
trlcity and a large signal tower is
to be erected. Other buildings will

.yardmaster.
A loop track will be built from
the yards to Todd's Cut, where the
repair shops and roundhOnses arc
to be located. Work on these
structures has not begun, but it is
understood that plans and specti-
cations are being prepared by the
railroad for their construction. II
is probable that the freight yards
will be finished before work OF
them begins, however.
The improvements of the rail
road company has altered the ap-
pearance Of the section round about
Edge Moor to a great extent. A
large area of marsh has been con
verted into a level surface of gravel
This has required months of work
and thousands of tons of earth have
been brought by trains for the pur.
pose.
The yards are divided into east
nOrthbOund and west sOuthbOund
and these are sub.divided into re
ceivjng and classification places.
The body of the yards properly be.
gins at Edge Moor and extends south
east towards the Delaware river
being one mile in length, The
north and sOuthbound tracks are
divided by two tracks for through
freights. Besides these two track.
there are thirty entering the yards,
6 receiving and s classification tracks
in each.
Present operations are confined
prin ipally to the east northbound
yard. Eight tracks have been laid
and the others are being placed in
position by large number Of track
men while many more are engaged
in grading. Tie work of filing in

the colonial troops, and he was eager
that his people" should be in some
way compensated for their disappoint-
ment because of the postponement Of
the coronation.
The king received Queen AleXandra's
report of the review with much pleas
ure and he was immensely pleased
later in the day when the sounds Of the
cheers from the Indian troops, given
for the queen as they marched past the
palace, penetrated the sickroom.
The kings grandchildren are allowed
a brief visit daily to his bedside, while
Il scarcely less welcome and even more
enthusiastic visitor to his majesty is
his pei Irish terrier, Jack, which is al
lowed in the kings room a short time
every afternoon.
Yesterdays review of the colonial
and Indian troops ut the Horse guards
parade was the first recompensc Lon
don had for the deferred pageantry OF
the coronation. The military spectacle
was brilliant in the extreme, and pOpu-
lar enthusiasm found proper vent when
the queen appeared in person riding in
the first carriage in the royal process
sion ut the parade grounds.
The temperance of Queen Alcxan-
dra as Il participant in this public ccre-
mony practically marks the end of the
period of anxiety caused by King Ed

The queen was seated in an open car
riage. Beside her was the Princess Of

the Princess Victoria and Princess
Charles of Denmark.
Among the interesting onloOkers was

The troops quickly marched past the
queens carriage, the Prince of Wales
receiving the salute, The queen then
drove slowly in and out of the lines,
and the Prince of Wales closely in
spccted the troops and dismountcd and
conferred medals and crosses on those
who had mcrited the honor, shaking
hands with the recipients Of the Vic

THE Board of Education on Mon
day evening at special meeting
fixed the salaries of the different
teachers for the ensuing year. 1t
was deemed advisable not to in
crease Prof. Berlin's salary, as a ma
jority of the members considered
$1,000 fair compensation. Miss
-Craig's salary was reduced from
$1,000 to $1,000. She is one Of the
Oldest teachers in our public schools
and has always been considered Il
most efficient teacher. Some of the
teachers salaries remind lis of a
case where superintendent was
engaged at large manufacturing
plant and paid higher salary than
any man who had before held the
position. The superintendent was
offered another position and an i'll
crease Of $4,000 in his salary. He
resigned and left for his new posi-
tion, where the firm employed three
men to take this one mans place,
paying them more salary in the ag
gregate than they had previously
paid to the man who filled the posi-
ton. The Board of Education has
before this repented the experiment
Of getting cheap teachers.

The city taxes are now due and
all property owners will save five

man of the finance committee of
City Council, that the new method
Of collecting city taxes will swell
the amount That part of the new
system has yot to be tried before
any perceptible increase will be
noticed. The city received the mon
ey IN the past collected by the city
tax collectors, and we cannot see
where the city will benefit a single
dollar by the new method adopted
for the first time this month. The
city is looking for some $50. coo iu-
crease in the amount over that OF
last year by the increase made in
the assessed valuation of property
by the extra asseSsOrs. We expect
to hear numerous complaints from
those who have had their asses5-

THE man or woman who buys a

The trouble is that some men don't
know how to take care Of an am

tract q disease, they do not take the
proper care Of them and then want
the seller to take them back or make
good the money pail for them
In some cases horses have been doc
tored and sold a, sound to uusOph-
isticated persons, who, after they
have had the animals for several
weeks, find out that they have pur-
chased what IS known as dOctDrri
animals, often paying the price Ior
