There at number of property owner vbe are willing te dk dk peee'bt their properties at geed prices, aad who atand ready te prere tbat eaeta respeo respee tlve property la the beat suited for the par pose. It la generally conceded tbat tba bnlldlng should net be lccaled mera than one block eeutb of Centre Square, nor north of Chestnut strtet, nor west of Prince, nor eaat of Duke street, though a few altea out aide of tbeae llmlta have been anggeeted. It la farther oenoeded that the eat of the ground shall net exceed, 000 leaving 00, 000 for the building. There ara ether con cen con dttlena precedent : Thealxi of the build lng let mnat net be less than 120 by 136 feet, and tba building te be erected mnat aland psrkclly free from all ether buildings must har a driveway all around It It la understood that the government will net buy a alte In tbe centre of a block, because thla would necessitate the buying of land for the drlvewaya en either aide of the building. The alte must be therefore at tbe Intersection of two or mere streets. It Is understood alsetbat properties en the south east or southwest corners of streets are ob jectionable, because the pavements are se often dogged with Jee and snow In winter. CONSIDKRINO) BITES. When all these condltlena are considered It will be aeen tbat tbe eligible altea are net se numerous as might at first blush be supposed. Where, then, shall the building be bnlliT Lreklng; around Centre Square we fall te see a building let of sufficient alss that could be bought for 40,000. Doing up North Queen we see Bhebet's and Gelsenberger's properties, but they would cost tee much. Oa the epp'jalte corner Is -the Lefevre property and the Kramph'a estate, but te secure aufllelent width en North Queen street the fine three story restaurant of Charles Haetner would run up the cost te ever f 10,000. There are no ether corner lets south of the Pennsyl vania railroad, bat en the east alde of tbe railroad, Just above the ptsssnger depot, are several lets tbat might be ob tained at a fair price, and are In every respect well adapted te the purpose, ana being se close te tbe railroad station tbe malls could be received and forwarded much mere conveniently than fromloea fremloea fromleea tlona mere distant. Oa Chestnut street several altea have been proposed : One en tbe northeast oeroer of Prince and Chestnut ; another the old high school building ; tbe Union hotel and adjoining buildings, corner Eaat Chestnut and Christian. Oa North Prince, the old Moravian bury ing ground has been suggested as a very eligible alte, . and tbe property en the nerthweat corner of Prince and Orange,ex tendlng up te and Including tbe residence of R. J. McQrann, has also been favorably named. The Atlee property, corner of Duke and Orange, and the adjscent properties of Ce'. lrerdney and Maj, Rotrer, have been miieb talked about, and apparently 1111 the bill In all particulars except as te cost, and they could probably be bought for 140,000. It baa been suggested that tbe rear ends cf these leta might be purchased, and the building be erected corner et Duke and Marlen alley; but the suggestion has net been favorably received. FAVORABLY BPOKItN OF. A alie very favorably spoken of, al though It baa tbe objection et belng a southeast corner let, Is the Wldmyer prop erty, corner of Eist King and Duke, and the adjoining properties en East King atreet up te Deuiuth'a. These properties are central, are en one et the prlnelpal avenuea and would add te tbe beauty of tne handsomest bloe of buslines build less in Lancaster. If Grant street were opened through te North Qaeen atreet, as It ought te be, tbe Delchler, Demuth and Wiley properties would be made eligible, and the alte would be a very dealrable one If It did net cost tee mueb. Geed light, geed ventilation and geed drainage are regarded as of prime liopor liepor lioper tance in the new building, the ground fleer of whlett will be devoted te posteffloa bu tineas and tbe second fleer te the Internal revenue business. Within tbe paac tsn yeara tbe posteflloe business in this city has mere than doubled, and as large as the quarters new are In the Kepler building the officers are crampsd for room. In se lecting a alte the question of future Increase of business should be considered, and a let should be procured upon which a much larger building than the present peatcifice building can be erected and If possible room left for tbe erection of an nnnex, ' when It shall be needed. If tbe citizens generally could be con cen aulted there Is no doubt tbey would like te have the new bulldlngen one et tbe principal streets, near tbe centre of tbe city ; but the United States postefllce department de net regard this as a very necessary matter. Tbey held tbat Lancaster being a "general deli very" city a comparatively rmall proportion of lbe citlzans are required te call at tbe posteflloe for tbelr mall, and It does net matter therefore whether tbe cfllce is en one of tbe leading thoroughbred or net.

Ha said tbat Industrial cduoatlea was coming i tbat nothing was mere certain and that teachers would be compelled te meet It. Tbey oeuld de one of three things: step aside and tot it pass by tbem, or they could get behind it and help It along, or get in Its way aad be crashed by It. Just as la draw ing tbe object was net te acquire the power of making pictures, ae also tba objeet et in dustrial education was net te make carpen ters and machinists; bnt tba object In both is te Improve our Ideai of things we meet with In life. We get a moon belter Idea of a thing by drawing It than by merely looking at 11. Te Illustrate this be asked all the students present te draw accurately from memory the face or their watches, trying te get the Reman numerals ea a circle drawn en paper J uataa they appeared ea their watcher. Nearly all failed. They gave IV for I1II, or had the V turned tba wrong way, or gave a VI when there was none en' their watches. Although tbey bad seen tbe numbers en the watch at least five hundred times they new bad, by drawing tbem once, a better Idea et what they really were than all their seeing had given them. By drawing we express our concepts received through the eye. By making a thing we express our concepts received through the band, and It is only through the hand that we can get Ideas of solids or of forms et three dimensions. The doctei's talk was very tnueh appreciated, and the students were pleased te learn tbat be had partly premised their principal te return In a few weeks and give them another lecture.

Feist and tba 8a c. acts Us Is Heating With. Herace B. Feuit, agent et the Olgar makers International Union et America, and William Richardson, of Richmond, Va., were at New Helland en Tuesdsy, snd te-day they went le Terre Hill In the Inter est of the union they represent. It Is the In tention of these offielals te visit every town and village in tbe county where clgarmak lng is an Industry, for the purpose of Im pressing upon tbe minds of every olgar elgar maker tbe necessity of forming union. In all tbey will have te visit 78 towns and villages, and it will require about three months' time te go ever their route. In addition te erganising unions Mr. Foust is collecting statistics as te the number of clgirs made, and the nrleea paid for cigars. There are at present 12,000 elgarmakers in the Ninth dlatrlet, and only 1,200 belong te tbe union. By the time he bas gene ever the diatrlet, Indies, tlena are tbat the number of union mem bers will be very large. Mr. Foust Is an earnest worker in tbe cause he represent'. His whole mission Is te bring within the folds of tbe Union every cigar maker, se tbat clgsrmakers will be pro tected. As far as he baa gene In thla county he has met with great auoeess and It leeks as If unions would be established le al most every village of this county, for there are few In whleh elgar-maklng is net tbe leading Industry. Last evening the visitors were entertained by tbe Lancaster cigar makers at Blsslnget'rs hotel. In an Interview had with a reporter et tbe New lira Mr. Foust is represented as having eald tbat within tbe past two years the production of cigars in thla tbe Ninth revenue dlatrlet bat fallen off one-third ; and that he attributed the great falling efl te tbe fact that the cigars made are of ebeap grades end cannot be aeld in competition with better cigars made elsewhere. If Mr. Foust made any such statement he Is greatly In error. During every month for the past two years there has been a constant Increase In the manufacture et cigars In this district. This is shown by the sale of elgar stamps aeld at tbe col lector's cfllce In this city. Collector Mac Mac Genlgle went into office July 4, 1835. Tbe amount received for cigar atampa in Au gust, 1885, was 95,739 62 Tbe amount re ceived In August 1836, was 1123,187 M and tbe amount received Aug. 1887 was 138,883.. 27. The receipts et these months are given merely as samples. All the ether months show a corresponding Increase In the sale of stamps, whleh of course prove a corres ponding increase in the manufacture of cigars. The sales of elgar stamps slnee July 4, 1885, in thla dlatrlet are at fellows : At the collector's offiee In Lneuter,l,633 444.19; depnty collector's oillee In Yerk, 1,430,712; depnty collector's office, Har. rlsburg, 280,007.93. Aggregate, 3,415, 974.17. As te lbe statement that the clgara made In the Ninth district are of Inferior quality and cannot be aeld in competition with better cigars made elsewhere Mr. Foust is also at fault or has been mlsreperted. Fer weeks past tbe New Yerk tobacco Journals have been quoting statistics te show that cigar-making has been slipping away from New Yerk and increasing In tbe country districts, notably se In the Ninth Pennsyl.snladlslrlct,and thogreai'eryolthe New Yerk manufacturers has been te "save the tax en clgsra and elgarettes," even If It be reduced te a merely nominal figure, ae that the Pennsylvania manufacturers osn esn osn net send their elgnrs te New Yerk and ether cities, and thus come In cempe titien with tbe manufacturers who are protected by certain trade marks. As will be seen by the new tariff bill recently submitted te Congress these "protected" manufacturers of New Yerk have se far aucceeded In bulldozing tbe committee et ways and means as te hsve It retain in tbe bill a slight tax en cigars and cigarettes. We think it would be sn ad vantage te Pennsylvania elgarmakers and cigar manufacturers te have the cigar tax entirely repealed, ae tbat tbelr elgara oeuld come Inte fair competition with theae "made elsewhere," and then smokers everywhere would bave an opportunity le Judge whether they were better -or werae than cigars made elsewhere. Lan caster county workmen need net fear the scrutiny. liaalb el Mis. F. T. Sellers. Mrs. Annie L. Seller, wife or Faber T.

Chnloeta Letter te Lsncaster Frets Pi es e. "Violets blooming la Flerida, while people ara dying by hundreda with cold in North aad West" said an Orlande (Orange oeuaty) paper a few weeks age. Strange as it may seem te shivering Northerners, who have saver vMtedeur summer land, violets and many ether wild flowers have been growing and blooming every day this winter If It oeald be called winter, with tbe thermometer never lower than 32 above sue, and that only onea. Oaly three alight frosts, none et them heavy enough te injure tba tenderest orange tree, bave been aeea la thla section of Flerida ; tbe weather during the greatest part of the time bas been Ilka tbe soft balmy Indian summer In the North. Darlsg the terrific bllusrd la the North west a few weeks sge, the spray from the " cold wave " was dashed across the frost line Inte Oracgj county, causing about such weather as may be looked for In November in Pennsylvania, with thla dif ference ; we knew we have leaebed the coldest part of our winter, and bave noth ing worse le dread, while you must sbnd derlngly wonder bow low tbe mercury will go befere It gets up again te its present belting place. Many of Flerida's enemies, ( why she bas enemies I will endeavor te explain seen), when they ara forced te concede tbat tbe elltnate is beyond oernpiro comfort them selves by saying, " Yds, you have a delight ful climate, but that is all ; you ea n't beast of any ether advantage." But we can. Anyone who attended the state fair at Ssnferd last week, or tbe sub tropical at Jacksonville, and aaw tbe be wildering and endiets variety et liewer, frulta and vegetables there displayed, will believe that there is nothing that cannot be ralaed in Florid. FRUITS IN AM. VARtRTICS. Lurcieus peaenes, pears and bananas, pyramids of oranges, lemons, guavas, Jap anese persimmons and plums, melons of many kinds, mammoth pine apples, ripe strawberries but enumeration Is out et the question.

FLOniDA.'B TltADUCERH. New, wby has a state with auch a oil ma te and aueh productions any enemies;? Well, they are hostile for various reasons. VJotlmseftbe "city let" advertisements, who find their supposed "valuable prop erty" te be out In some lake, or in an Im passable swamp, or a tract of worthless "scrub," feel that they bave tbe right te denounce a country where they have been thus swindled, and de ae In unmeasured terms, blind te the fact that there are beautiful locations In Flerida which might have been tbelrs bad they taken the pre caution te see their land before purchasing, or te deal with a rellable agent. Much has also been said against Flerida by people who bave dipped Inte the north ern part el tbe atate, grumbled a few days ever tbe peer soil, peer feed, and peer people In tbat aeotien, and returned no wiser cencerning: tbe real Flerida tban when they slatted, (ihcugh probably sadder.) There are favorable locations In the north ern counties, but tbey cannot be seen with out time, money snd unprejudiced judg ment ; much less can you form any estimate of tbe vaat orange belt aoress the peninsula until you bave been near enough te Inhale tbe fragrance et an orange grove In bloom, and te see at tbe same time long rows of trees, with branches leaded te the ground witb golden fruit. Disappointed people who expected te live here without work, pick oranges all the year around, never see a dsy colder tban 70 in the shade tbey, tee, are disposed te abuse Flerida, for they find If quite Im possible te real I r. 3 any such conditions. Flerida Is a work-a-day piece, like the reat of the world, and neither ae geed nor ae bad as It bas been pictured, Tbe Idea tbat because the winters are warm the summers are unbearably het Is tee deeply rooted te be gotten rid of till a summer In Flerida bas Battled tbe matter; I will simply state, however, tbat the ther mometer does net register as high in sum mer as in any ether state, as shown by offi cial reports. Tbe ocean and gulf breezss are wbatteiiper tbe aim's rays se delight fully. ERR7NKOUH NOTIONS. Seme et tbe notions people bave of our sunny land are really absurd, and most exasperating te residents, who In vain con cen tradlctthe statements made from deeply, rooted but erroneous Impressions. Flerida la a large state ; what Iti true et one part of It Is miserably I also when applied te another part ; for Instance, many belleve Flerida te be full or malaria, simply beoause we have awampa here. There la no mere rmlarla in Flerida tban In twenty ether atates ; and there are no threat diseases, no whooping cengb, no lung diseases, except tbote here te be cured, no catarrh, no cold weather epidemics of any kind, and no aunstrekec Fer a person of moderate tastes and small Income, (If It la net tee small) there Is no healthier, happier home en earth than among the pines In Flerida. Here in the little town of Chulneta live a class of Intel ligent, refined Northern people, hospitable te atrangers and oengenlal and friendly te each ether. Cbulueta Is five miles from Ovllde, tbe present terminus et tbe Seuth Flerida railroad, wblcb Is te be pushed en te Indian river via. Cbulueta In a very abort time. The fact tbat this region had tbe best fruit and vegetable exbUit at the state fair will show what It is capable of. Askoueef our citizens wby he came te Flerida, and be will tell you "I get dis gusted with tbe cold weather, and wltb working all aummet te live through tbe winter ; came down bore te leek around ; found tbe land cheap and geed, bought a place, cleared It, sent for my family, and here I am ; wouldn't go back for any thing." Ibal Is tbe reason most often given. We bave all wen our homes out of the primeval forest ; and it is the pioneer home tbat is always loved tbe bast, and looked back te with tbe slncereat regret wbea changing scenes take us te ether dwelling places and mers pretentious sur roundings. At present, the thermometer registers GO degrees above sere, whleh IndlesUs tbat the blltxarda are probably raging with re newed fury la the North, swelling the Hat of victims already repotted. Meanwhile, tha violate bloom en In Flerida, resea brighten many a deer yard, the snowy, waxea orange blossoms perfume the air, and tbe glorious sunshine lingers overall, In this land of perpetual summnr.

Tbe play has many amusing altoatiensand plenty of geed musle Is in troduced. The songs are catchy and will become popular.
