to be anxious for an opportunity to air
their views in public. Some speakers OF
national reputation will also be
secured.

MAGAZINE NOTES

"About the best in the whole lot' of
rural diversions, "and something city
folks don't have is Firemen's Tourna.
ment" Eugene Wood tells about it in
the October McCiure's and he will carry
host Of readers in city and country with
him over familiar road back TO dear
dead days, long gone but not forgotten.
In the vernacular nf those who make it
and these who zee it the author describes
the Tournament with realism that is
impressively funny. The turmoil Of pre-
paration with all Of the little intimate
details, the coming of the crowds, the
great event itself with its keen rivalry
and stress Of contest, the final departure
and the close OF memorable day all are
described, but they are small part OF the
story. Its strength and humor lie In the
drawn-to-life character sketches of coun-
try folk on pleasure bent. Most of US
know them. Many of us have been
there. For all here are pages of rare de.
light.
There l. no truer axiom than that all
real reform and progress in the world g
effected by compromise. The Liquor
Problem is one of the most. momentous
that the human race has to-day to face.
Between the rigid abstinence and the be-
levers in the doctrine of Iaissez-faire,
Mr.. John Brisben Walker comes with a 4
remarkably well-thought-out plan of COM
promise, the working Of which seems
practical and pregnant with benefit. 1t |
is stated in an editorial in the October |
Cosmopolitan.

aARoUND THE HILLS TO THE POOR
HOUSE,


The superintendent and trustees Of
Farnhurst visited the AlmsIonse of Ches-
Ger County, Pa, on Wednesday.
Some months ago the trustees of the
Chester County home, as they call it,
visited Farnhurst. The delegation left
on special trolley for Kenneit Square
about 9. so A. NJ. The run was delight
full There we found hacks in waiting to
convey us to our destination, which was
seven miles away. We passed the birth
place of Bayard Taylor, the American
traveller and poet. Owing 10 some deten-
ton we did not arrive at the alnshouse
until o'clock A splendid dinner was in
waiting and as soon as the stains OF travel
were removed we were invited to table
loaded with good things. The most of us
did ample justice to the dinner for theride
had sharpened our appetite. After din
ner we went on tour of inspection. The
almshouse is large and commodious, and
although built in 1855 is very modern.
Every room was as clean as new pin,
and the inmates have bright and CHEEKY
quarters. and everythingpossible is done to
make them comfortable. We then visited
the insane asylum, an imposing brick
structure which was completed in 1900.
There We found the equipment Of mod
ern institution. The granaries and stables
were also objects OF interest. They have
about fifty cows which are fat and sleek.
About 400 acres belongs to the institution.
The superintendent and trustees accorded
us every courtesy and did all in their
power to make our visit pleasant and prof
table. The institution and its manage
ment reflects credit upon Chester County.
The trustees Of New Castle were close OBJ
servers and doubtless gained new ideas
which will be useful to them in the future.
Before We left several short speeches were
made by both hosts and guests, and our
visit is now pleasant memory. DIR.
C. T. Wyatt was the guest of Mr.. J. c.
Parker on the trip.

who would consent to appoint as
Secretary of State a man whom
the Unionist should name, has
some good features. If a com
promise on the ground shall be
secured it will indicate that a
question of barter entered into
the negotiations, a condition from
which the Regulars have held
aloof. AT the same time it must
be understood that a basis is al
ways necessary upon which to
effect any agreement. If the
Regulars can get a man for Gov
ernor whom they know to be
steadfast andstrue, who has all
of the embodiments of Regular
Republicanism, who has strength
of character and is not backward
in enforcing his views, and who
can be depended upon atall times,
in all places andsunder all condi-
tions, does it make any material
difference who shall or who shall
not be Secretary of State? There
are Regular Republicans of this
stamp. The administration Of
John Hum must not be taken
for an example. If he has prov
ed himself to be pliable tool at the
hands of Addicks and his follow
ers, it does not follow that any
body else would do the same

NEW COUNTY BUILDINGS.
Couuty Conmissiosers Decide to Erect
4 Sheritf:s Residence, Jsil and Boiler
Rooa. Plans Of E. j. bonobae Of
St. Peal Wll Govern.

A. the recent meeting OF the county
commissioners it was decided to erect
q sheriff's residence and jail and a
new heating plant in the court house
lot. Bids will be advertised for for
the purchase OF and removal Of the
houses that are now occupying the
site OF the proposed residence and jai
and also for the erection OF the new
buildings.
The speci cifications for the .combina.
tioD residence and Jail, cali for the
very best of material in all respects.
The finish OF them will be in the best
quality of Dickinson pressed or MUM
Der six Menomenee pressed brick with
trimmings OF cut stone. 1t will be
two stories with large loft and full
basement, and fitted With the most
modern conyeniences.
The residence will face on Third
avenue south and the Jail will occupy
the rear OF the bull ling. The plan OF
the first foo: will include: At the
entrance large veranda or porch
with stone steps approaching and tile
floor Immediately in front of the door.
A large vestibule will open into a
spacious reception hall which in turn
connects with a corridor that has di-
rect entries to every room on the
first fOr with the exception of the
pantry, cell rooms and jailors and
prisoners corridors
The arrangement OF the rooms on
this floor are as follows: TO the right
of the reception hall is the parlor, .
large and well lighted room, eleven
feet four by thirteen feet, nine. This
connects by large double door with the
sitting room Of practically the same
dimensions. There is no connection
between this room and the jailor's
chamber which is next to it. This
last room is however the means Of
entering the jailor's corridors and cell
rooms.
On the south side of the reception
hall, the first is the dining room
which is but 2 trifle larger than the
parlor. This room has large side
board and drawers built in the west
side and connects through large
pantry with the kitchen which latter
is the largest room on the first floor,
measuring thirteen by thirteen nine.

wood and the doors and window cas-
ings are to be of quarter sawed white
oak and the floors Of white maple fin
ished with two coats Of varnish. The
sheriff's office will be in the south side
of the building at the end and to the
left of the main corridor, 1t will be
finished similar to the rest Of
the interior ia most instances
except where it differs from the style
OF residences and Office tinishings.
The Office will be in direct COM
munication with all parts of the
building by means of speaking tubes
and electric buttons with annunci-
atoS
The Jail room on the first floor will
have a jailors and prisoner corridors,
four cells, shower and tub baths,
lavatories and closets.
On the second floor there will he
four chambers with large closets. a
large hall, bath room and laya'ory
and the juvenile cell ia the residence
portion of the building.
In tho Jail section the arrangement
will be much the same with the eX-
ception that there will be two cells
for the retention OF female prisoners.
The fittings and construction of the
Jail section will be of the most up-tO
date pattern in Jail construction
sanitation and ventilation.
The boiler room and heating plant
will also be Of the most approved
pattern but lack of time forbids the
present description Of this part Of the
new construction which will be made
this year.
