They'll Have Club to Look After Their
interests.
Another meeting to organize a South
Side Commercial club will be held this
evening at Cedar Camp hall on Two-and-
a-half street, near Cedar avenue. The
call Is signed by the leading business men
of the South Side, and all interested in
the development of that section of the
city are urged to attend the meeting
There is feeling that this portion of
the city has been neglected by the city
council, the park board and the school
board. More schools are demanded. the
boulevards need attention. better street
lighting is required, and it is wished to
abolish grade crossings. The results OBJ
tained by the North Side Commercial
club furnish a striking example of what
can be done by concentrated and intel
ltgent effort.

Fetch out the old-time joke book.
The puns Of '6S,
The feeble, ancient, toothless wit,
Bewhiskered, bald Of pate.
Oh, punster, stir your weary brain,
Hoopskirts are rolling in again.
Fetch out the old time fashion book,
Ye fashion artists all,
With maidens, simpering. pale OF cheek,
Wasp-waisted, slender, tall.
Draw female forms in shapes insane,
Hoopskirts are rolling in again.
Fetch out the all-time pocketbook;
Ye papas of the girls.
Dig up, cough up, pass up your coin
Until your poor brain whirls.
The daughters joy. the fathers pain,

The PHILADELPHIA Steal.

The more the Philadelphia gas steal
is examined the more atrocious do its
infamies appear. The actual and bare
proposition to give away the gas
works of the city, which today pay
a revenue of $650,O00 a year, and
which, before the end of the present
lease, will be paying upward of mil
lion dollars a year to the city.
The excuse for making this new
seventy fve-year lease is that the city
needs $25,OOO,OOO to spend Immediately
on public improvements. Instead Of
borrowing the money or raising it by
taxation, the council gives the gas
works for it, The infamy of the job
is in the fact that the city council can
get the money, and knows it can get
the money it needs, without resorting
to such an expedient.
The day after the gas steal was an
nounced, the Philadelphia North Amer
lean exposed it and made a counter
proposition. The North American
offered to subscribe $5,OO0,O00 to a
syndicate which would advance to the
city $25,OOO,OOO, and take the revenues
of the present gas lease as their guar
antee for the repayment of the sum-
principal and interest. The North
American plan would not disturb the
present lease Of the gas works, which
would revert at the end Of twenty-five
years to the city, with all the improve,
ments made by the leaseholder. Under
the other plan. the city would absolute
ly give away its rights in. the gas
works and bind the people Of the city
to pay dollar thousand for gas un
til 1880. .~.--, 49,.
The Philadelphia is pretty sub
servient animal, but he appears to be
aroused. 1t is poor year for gas
deals, with the New York experts dig
ging up astounding facts about the low
cost Of making and distributing the
article.

GUY WETMoRE CARRYL AS A CARL
cATURlST.-Even among those who
knew him well during the last two or
three years Of his life, there were very
few persons who are aware that the late
Guy Wetmore Carryl possessed gifts as
an artist which might have won him high
reputation had he ever seriously turned
his hand to caricature says the Bookman
for May. But most of his sketching was
done in his Paris days, among the scenes
which he depicted In "Zut'' and 1.-THE
Transgression Of Andrew Vane." He drew
merely for the amusement Of himself and
of his friends and for the expression Of
the whim of humor Of the moment. The
accompanying caricature Of his own fea-
lures is typical, and any one who knew
him personally, will be struck by the mar
Vicious comic likeness. It was presented
by Mr.. Carryl to George Barr Baker, an
American Journalist in Paris, and under
meath the sketch was written: -
