Tuesday over the Mayor's veto. On the

the purchase of n small corner lot at

But the real scheme is the acquisition
of an entire city block and the construc

Ileal estate agents say the speculative
possibilities are enormous. This explains
the fi antic mustering of a vole big
enough to override the Mayor's veto of
the preliminary bill.
Tho scheme will cost Philadelphia ,
nearly $2,r0.Vhi unless it is blocked. Tin-
price of the land needed will exceed

price up another SSW.CW.

Beating Minnesota to Fort, Ho is

The battleship Minnesota has been

is happy. Since yesterday he has been
conjecturing as to Its whereabouts, for
he came here with much speed from
Washington to hoist his flag, but there
was no ship In sight
Word reached the navy yard this after
noon that the Minnesota would arrive at
League Island nt 5 o'clock, but ns there
Is many a slip between the dock and the
ship, the Admiral Is going to stay right
nt the Bellevue-Stratford Until he hears
that she Is In. The Admltnl had a
wearisome trip around Leaguu Island
yesterday looking for the boat.
It Is possible that the Minnesota had
to dodjjc some alien warships, which
would account for her delay, but no one
at the yard knows why It Is taking her
so long to come here from Hampton
Roads.
The hlp will be here late this afternoon,
unless she lores her way In the Delaware.
Mie paed the Breakwater many hours
ngo Friends of the admiral say they nro
not urprlcd to hear that he beat a

a man of uulck action.
' I'm not answering conundrums," ho
said at the door.
The vote by which the opening wedge
was forced through over the Maor's tcto
was that of Dr. William D Bacon, a
Penrose supporter and noted gang man.
Judge Audenrled declared ho had no right
to a seat In Select Council, after a re

'BOSS, A BLACK BEAR,
DOES NIGHTLY DUTY
IN PLACE OF POLICE
Besides Having a Mighty
Punch in Each Paw, This
Watchman Does Not
Sleep Soundly.
There is n black bear doing rollce duty
in i:ddington, Pa.
Rddlngtnn docs not know Just what to
think of Its foice. but tome persons, espe
cially the chlldien, nro enthusiastic over
it. Others regard the rorce with suspi
cion, but all tie.it it with the gieatcst re
spect. It weighs in the neighborhood of
200 pounds and has a mighty punch In
cither paw.
The bear wan sent to D. C. Hanna,
manager of the Philadelphia Pure Kye
Distilling Company, from tho Maine
woods ns n Joke. But the bear was no
Joke. Mr. Hanna decided that as a little
pet at his home. 42S2 Parksiile avenue, a
bear would not he a hit among the neigh

a night watchman at his plant, so ho
named the bear "Boss" and gave him
The distillery covers nearly in acres of
land, and "Boss" patrols all that. At

as large as a Newfoundland dog. Ho has
an amiablo disposition nnd plays with the
cats of the dlstlller. hut he has nn in
herited aversion to dogs. Hooks, the bull
dog nt tho plant, he chases, and Malt, the
Irish terrier, he ignoreu.
It w.ib decided yesterday that a bath
would not hurt Boss. "What la more, tho
bath was deemed .almost Imperative. Cap
tain Albert Quigley and John Hart, Gov
ernment omcers detailed at tho distillery,
nnd John Rlghey, the engineer, escorted
Boss to a pond on the company's prop
ertv. Boss waded in one side of tho pond
and out the other and disappeared In the
underbrush.
Captain Quigley, Hart and Rlgby gave
pursuit.
It was an hour later that they met a
Negro walking along one of the roads.
He was looking anxiously over his shoul
der and walking as if In a hurry.
"Ah jou lookln' fo' a dog. ah maghty

"We are looking for .1 bear," returned
the rescue party.
"Mnh goodness me, dat was him, tint

hurtled along without fuither explana

hod located the Delaware River and was
having a swim. Rib Rlgbey called him
and tho bear came ashore. Ho climbed
a tree and there he stayed until he was
dry. Many a bear has had o man lift
