golns to do about It?
The newsboys during the past few days have
bad a One chance to test their voices. They have
improved their opportunities well, as any one can
testify.
W hy are the front cars of the ontgolng German
town trains not so good as the others? Because the
Improve ments are not yet far enough advanced.
The year llMiO will not be a leap year ia most
places, lucludirig America and Eugland, though It
can be divided by the number four. This is because
Pupe Greg. X three eyes said that It should be so
three hundred years ago. Of coarse the Pope must
be obeyed. This is rather rough on the ladles, who
will have to work pretty bard in 1896, which Is the
last leap year, with Its ladles' opportunity, nntill9iit.
A lady who is just nltout right la the eyes of men In
189d, and loses her chance that year, will Hurt herself
pretty well on lu the thirties la 1.04, and with but a
?oor show. For such, however, a chanca remains,
'he year 1900 will oe a leap year lu Greece and
Kuesla, where the Gregorian calendar is not ob
served. Here an asylum Is opened for the unsuc

In the Eummcr cur park on moonlight nights

touch of colder weat.iier It is viHtted by but few, and
ttiey leave early. Tea o'clock nowadays, in the
most pleasant season of the year, dnds the park en
tirely deserted. The hapless strayers after that
date, after meandering their solitary course to the
Brown street gate, are surprised to find the beer
garden closed, Hie last car gone, and all lu darkness
aud desolation. They have then thu choice of
threading the doubtful ways of Brown street to the
depot, of walking the Heading Railroad track to
Coates street, or of retracing tlulr steps Into the
park In order to reach the same goal by a round
about way. One would naturally think that this
would not be so. . Does not the cool weather give
better advantages for wrapping two pers ms la the
same shawl or of coming close together to keap
warm? Perhaps It does. Then, alas! It mast bo
that bat few want to some close together, or be shel
terud try the same shawl. Or, perhaps the same
thing can now be done with comfort within doors,
which before could not on account of the hot
-weather. If this be so, or course it Is unnecessary
to trouble oneself to go as far as the park. The ad
ntag a of scenery are but as one in the scale.

Each lodge was accompanied by a full band, and In
a courie 01 instances tne tnnsio was ironi msiru-
ments in tne nanus of colored men. i ne oanners
of the different lodges were borne In barouches,.
There were mary attractive features in tne line, and
among them all there was nothing to give offense to
ine most lasuoions.
The banners were all of the handsomest kind.
and among the more prominent were the following:
That 01 Liberty and independence Loages con

on the latter This is our guide." That of Joshua
Lonce bore a run lenetn portrait or josnua com

of Montgomery Lodge was tue ark or tne covenant.
and on the reverse a portrait of General Montgomery
mounted.
Washington Lodge, of Wilmington, Del., also car
ried a full length portrait of Washington, with the
Inscription. "First In peace, first in war, and first in
the hearts of his countrymen." The banner of Star
or Bethlehem Lodrre was a representation of the
child In the manger. Israelite Lodge's banner
contained the Inscription, "Justice to all men,
and this we will support," That of
William Penn Lodge represented the treaty
grounds on the banks of the Delaware. Those of
Philadelphia ana fennnyivauia contatnea respec

while that of Moses Lodge was a flue painting of

Among the many other features which served to
break the monotony of a long line of men were

bladders tied to a buck.
The display or the Juniors formed the Interesting
part or tne turnout, ana tney aeserve great credit
for the care which has been taken In completing
their arrangements. Tliey were represented in
strong numbers, and had their forces divided about

A New Cakpipatk for tiib Lkoisi.atuke. In
the Fonrth Legislative District, now represented by
the lioH. Samuel Josephs, a formidable Candida'
has been put In nomination, pledged to legislative
reform. Colonel Christopher Kletuz Is the opponent
of Josephs, and although the latter Is supposed to
have a hereditary right to this position, the recent
downfall of the Kmporor Napoleon III has struck
terror in tne Hearts or the adherents or Josephs I, and
the expectant legislator, now aged ten, is not re
garded with the same favor as before by his juvenile
playmates. Colonel Kletnr.'s military record Is ex
cellent, as he recruited Company K, of the 6th
Cavalry, Pennsylvania Volunteers, at the breaking
out of the Rebellion, and served with that organiza
tion until October 80. 1862. Owing to his bravery In
the action at Fort Magruder, Virginia, he was pro
moted to tne majority or tne regiment, and on July
1, lbfis, he was appointed lieutenant-colonel on
the recommendation of General Hantz. and th?
other commanding officers. lie assumed the com
mand or tne regiment, ana remained with it nntll
the close of the war, when he was honorably dis
charged. He was severely wounded on the
7th of October, ISM, at the battle
of Boydton Cr"ss Koads and on other occasions,

had not been deprived or tne vote or the Kennbll-
cans by some underhand means. The Republican
candidate this year has already, or soon will be,
viitntirawn, ana tne majority or koo Democratic
votes be divided. The opposition to Josephs is deep-
seated, and has its origin In his legislative career,
where he has always been found a toremost advo

Superintendent of the Star Nickel Plating Works'
has been the recipient or a magnificent present, in
the shape of an elegant gold watch and chain and
certificate of stock in the United Nickel Company of

so prominent as the United Nickel Company, owners
of all the patents for the new art, and comprising
some of the wealthiest and most distinguished citi

compliment. In this connection, the following let
ter irom one of our own most prominent citizens,
is an excellent endorsement of the value of nickel
plating business qualifications of the Superintendent
of the Philadelphia Works, and a convincing proof
to the Mew York company that their compliment
was wen merited ana wen bestowed :
