A GREAT NEWSPAPER IN FULL
MANHOOD.
The Philadelphia Record in the Prime
of Its Strength at the Age OF 80.

The Philadelphia Record in the Prime
of Its Strength at the Age OF 80.
That big newspaper. the Phi1adel-
phia Record, few days ago passed
the thirty-ninth milestone, and thus
reached, according to modern calcula-
tions the full prime and glory of its
manhood. Still lusty with the strength
and lofty ambitions of youth it is yet
steadied and firmly balanced by long
and varied experience, and there is
to-day in the United States no news
paper more solid, careful and just in
all it's dealings with the public, nor
at the same time any that is more
alert.
Representing the opposition in a
city overwhelmingly given over to the
dominance of the Republican organi-
zation of the State, it nevertheless has
still, as it has had for many years,
the widest circulation in that city of
any morning newspaper. This pre-
sents curious problem, the only ex-
PLANTATION of which seems to be that
The Record Notwithstanding it's poll
teal differences with the majority of
the people of Philadelphia, is recog-
nized by them as the best newspaper.

as to the advantages and disadyan-
| tages of the Bell Telephone Co. get
| ting a franchise.
Mr. Cattell gave half hours talk
on the past history of the Bell COM
pany, and what may be expected if
they get a franchise and every word
counted, as those who were opposed
to Mr.. Cattel1 speaking, even Council
man Doolittle, said he felt that Mr.. G..
was an outsider and should not inter-
| fere, acknowledged he had been en-
| lightened and asked Council to give
! Mr.. G. a vote of thanks, which was
done, while the young man who had
set the price on eggs left the room.
BENZ. G. Paul gave his views on the
matter and told how money was raised
on a franchise and believes in getting
something more than promises from
any telephone company.
Postmaster Gill was asked to give
his views, and started in on the re-
porter first, then got settled away and
trouble, why that telephone company
has made him more trouble than ten
mothers-in-law Mrs Gill told us he
has "a nice poles on his property with
braces out in his fields 10 feet inside
his line and he has no redress, nor
receives any money for them, not
even a match. 1t is plain to be seen
that the Bell Co. have done great
deal of fore flushing in this borough

There was only one game at Aala
Park yesterday in the afternoon, as
the Alohas did not turn up to play and
defaulted to the Kewalos, but that one
game delighted the large crowd OF
spectators and brought well-deserved
victory for Lieutenant Bowen IS players
over the leaders, the Aalas.
Bolun pitched for the winners and
twirled a grand game. He kept the
hits well scattered and was strong
right up to the very finish.
The Aalas scored in the first, max
ing two; but the roadpounders tied the
score in the second. Then the Aalas
came back and scored two in the third,
one in the eighth and one in the ninth.
It looked like cinch for them until
those soldiers came up in the ninth and
turned defeat into a scintillating vic
tory by scoring five in the last-chanee
inning.
Directly after the game, Scorer Tin
Chong received a message, calling him
out of town to visit a relative, who is
very sick, and he had no time to leave
the score-book at this office before
leaving. For this reason it is impos
sible to publish the official score and
details Of the game. These will be pub
ished as soon as Tin Chong returns.
