Mew that Lancaster la te have a govern
ment bell in (J te cost 1100,000, tba qUMllea
of Ita Blta la being vigorously discussed la
various quarter?. 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.

Millkxsyillb, March 7. Prof. Theenis
K. BaUlet, Pa. P., auperiaWadaat of the
schools et Readlag, aad nparuteadeat
lector SptlegBeld, Mass, spent Meaday
aad Taasday at tba Millers villa Nermal
school, aad gave ea Taeaday foreaeoa a
laetara before the whole school upon the
subject et "Industrial EJaoatlea aad
DrawlBg."
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.
Dr. Lyta then called upon Senators Steh-
man and My) In, who were present. Beth
responded with a few appropriate remark.
INTERNATIONAL CIO AnHlKKB) UNION.
Tba BUiten at Hersce B. 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.

"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. Northern men who went
through tbe building were lest In wonder
ever the fresh vegetsbles, banks of flewerp,
and tbe tens and tens of wonderful sub
tropical fruits, as well as tbe familiar kinds,
tbat leaded tbe long tables, all of which had
been growing out In the open air In mid.
winter.
This exhibit was honored, en February
25, by being Inspected by President and
Mrs. Cleveland. Tbey redo te the grennde
in a carriage fringed snd garlanded wltb
orange blossoms, and were or course tbe
observed of all obaervera as tbey moved
from building te building, which were
everywhere decorated wltb flsge and gar
lands of red, white and blue flowers. The
orewd, whleh wsa wild with enthusiasm,
was excluded from each building as tbe
presidential party entered It, except exhib
itors and prominent citizens ; aetbe second
president who bas ever condescended te
Visit Flerida had a favorable opportunity te
examine some of ber finest product?.
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.

Last evening Geerge O. llruthsrten'a
company appeared In Fulton opera house
and presented, for tha first time in this
city, Sydney Reseuleld's operatlo comedy
entitled "In the Swlrr," The audience
was large, compared with the majority el
theae tbat have been seen at public enter
tainments recently, yet the ep6ra beuse
was by no means full. Laat night was but
the third public petformance el the piece,
which was put en for the lltat time In Nor Ner Nor
riatewn en Saturday evening. The story is
of UercuUi Tedd, a rich batter who haa
made bis money by bard work, He baa
two giddy daughters, who are engaged te
be married. Their chaperon, Afrs. Glass, a
dashing widow, who Is sweet en Tetltt, lu
duces bin te give a party lu order te get into
the social awlm. Thla he does and be gets
Inte troubleef all kinds but finally comes out
all right. Tbe play has many amusing
altoatiensand plenty of geed musle Is in
troduced. The songs are catchy and will
become popular. The ptcee at timer, es
pecially In the last set, drags and tires an
audience, and much el tbe alleged fun falls
flit. Befere It is a success it will need a
great deal et trimming ent, as all anon
pieces de. The play has net been suffi
ciently rebearaed ami several of the poeplu
arenet familiar with their lluer. The premp
ter was kept very Uikv last evenlng, and
he ceu'd be distinctly heard all ever the
front of tbe beuse.
The company which Mr. Ilrotherten bas
putln tbe piece in com posed of welt known
people, several of whom had the prlnelpal
characters lu tbe "Llttle Tycoon." R. K
Grsbam plays the pert of Tedd, and he
makea everything out of the obaraeler that
Is possible. He Is a capital aoter and bis
ctlerts te please last evening were at most
times successful, although he bad a rather
big lead le carry. His singing of "They
Never Can Tell Why," In the second act,
pleased greatly and sccured for him a num
ber of ree4lls. Miss Allce Harrison played
thepart of --lftxaiKfrina, tbe fresh domestic,
In ber usuil rnllljklng manner. Her
drinking song, In the third act, wasoneof
best features of the play. This lady Is a
very olever seubrette and this was the first
time she has been in Lancaster alnce she
and her brother Leuis played "Photes"
here. Miss Elms Dslare made a buxom
Widow Olast, and did all abe was able in
the part. Mlaaes Meredith and' Wilsen, as
Tetfd'adaugbters, ploased. Harry Molten as
Dick Merrill and WilL U. Maye as Piper,
wereaoceptable. The company as a whole is
strong, being composed et gecd actors and
singers, and If tbe plsy was anything like
as 'geed as theso who produce It, there
would be no doubt of Its success.

when they bsd tbe opportunity. An en
trance te the kitchen was elleeled by taking
out tbe fash of tbe windows and It was
found stsndlngen the perch sgslnst tbe pest
The thieves proceeding te make them
selves conferlable by turning the damper
in the stovepipe te make it burn
and by seating themselves around the
stove. Tiiere were seven persons in tba
honse, as is proved by there being seven
chairs standing sreund tha stove In a
circle. There were net many chairs In tbe

tbat tbe thieves came from the Welsh
