It wan old In 1709 te Adam Ketgart at aherllTa sale. The immense representation of a bunch of grapea that hangs by a ponderous ornamental Iren bracket irem the front of the building was hammered out by a Lan caster blacksmith In 17C9. It la a master piece of wrought Iren working, the bunch of grapes being aurmeunte d by a oevorlng of leaves hammered out se naturatly aa te preserve the finest tracoryet a natural grape leaf. During the Revolutionary war the anpreme executive council of Pennsylvania met at tbe Grape hetel.

It was taken in charge a few mentbs age by two young men who materially changed the arrange ments of tbe Inn, but tbclr management teems te have been unsuccessful. Tbe Cress Keys is anotber very old tavern stand. It was brat licensed as a tavern in 173a Tbis tavern was the favorite stepping plaee for Quakers and the early oeurt effl cars et Laucaater county. The famous Sam uel Blunston, tbe pioneer Quaker preacher, was a regular guesi of t bis house, and the landlord, Hamnel Bethel, falling In love with tbe Quaker's daughter, pretty Sarah. en one of their visits, he wen and married her. Wben Bethel dled in 1740, his widow married another celebrated Quaker, Peter Worrall, who becanie the landlord of tbe Gress Keys. He was a member n! the pro vincial legislature or ocunell, from 1747 te 1754, wben be leslgned because he oeuld . net oeniclentlcnaly support the levying el a tsx te carry en tbe French and Indian war, and did net want te oppose 1L This anetent hostelry la new kept by a man named Sailtb, The Sbeber house, en tbe oerner of Orange and North Queen streets, was erected in 1764 as an inscription en a atone in front of tbubulldiegteatifies.

The old Blgn of a fierce crouching leopard tbat was swung from the front of the house tbat year Is stilt In place, bnt tbe colors are almost en tirely obliterated. A new sign, similar te the old one, occupies a position In front of tbe beuse, below tbe relic et tbe tavern's first days. The Bleck Ifeuce anil tbe Indian Queen, the ene epened in 1742 and tbe ether In 17G0, were maintained as taverna until a short time sge, when they wero tern down te make room for modern buildings. The quaint signs that had marked tbe two buildings fS taverns for a century and a qn.rter were destroyed by a thoughtless workman. Tu cooper house is one of tbe anelent hotels of Lanoas'er.

" It was en tbe steps of tbe Cooper houae that Jehn Jtflersen slipped and fell during tbe man agement of the tbeatre and received in. juries tbat resulted In bis deatb. The old atone building at tbe corner of Prince and James streets was a tavern long before tbe Revolution, and during tbat war Gen. Ue9n and a force of troops were quartered there.

Ordleauc.s That Ars Net Enforced. There la much complaint among the people of this elty of the failure te enforce several of tbe city ordinances. This refers principally te the ene regulating the hack men. By thlaordlnanee the drivers are compelled te carry lighted lamps, with the number painted tbereen, after dark. It la a fiet tbat the baekmen de net cirry lights at all and there Is much careleesness or neglect In regard te tbe display et num. bars. The ordinance requires tbe hack men te display a list with their rates of eaargea In tbelr vebteles, but this Is net done by any of them. Anether causa of complaint la concern ing the deg ordinance. This has net been enforced at all and the mayor did net even lssue a proclamation asking owners of dogs te muzzle them during tbe het month of August. Seme et tbe hackmen who vio late tbe ordinances laugh when told It, and aay tbat they are net afraid tbat the mayor will enioree them. Uase Ball N.w.
