Street Sites.
' filbert street widens to 51 feet begin

(th Ward, find becomes a thoroughfare of
tonsldcrable Importance. East of 8th
street, It Is W feet wldo to 7th street,

M The block between 9th and 10th streets
"H . l ,.., ,l,t Intn nntlm this Week
by the sale recorded yesterday of No.
KO Filbert street, being n four-story
brick building, lot 22x99. Charles TX. and
Window J. Fries conveyed to David C.
JR Humphreys for 120,000.
This property Is assessed for $22,000.
The last transfer of this piece of real es
tate was on December IS, 1891, when It
Hold for J28.O0O. However, It Is now being
improved. A new store front Is under way
and this, with general adjustments, wilt
greatly add to Its value.
The last sale In this block, but of a
smaller property, was on March 21, 1007,
No. 924 Filbert street, lot 16.6x76, which
sold for $22,000. This property Is now as-
tessed for $21,000, and has advanced In
alue over the purchase price. In 1913
Wcrshon Brothers transferred to John J.
Rogers Nos. 925-27 Filbert street, In which
purchase, howover, a country seat of 12
acres at Wyncoto figured sb a part of the
price. This Is now a part of the 8-slory
brick and concrete building, lot 00x140,
Nos. 925-7-9 Filbert street, and Is as
sessed for $260,000.
Between 10th and 11th streets Is found a
solid row of stores and about the same
condition exists on the south side, with,
however, some of the old stores unal
tered near 11th street, Soveral large prop
erties have been recently rented in this
block and tho demand Ib good.
VALUES BECOMING EVIDENT.
The value of Filbert street is becom
ing more evident as the visible supply of
property on the market Is reduced along
the larger Btrect to the south. Jfnrket
street was a very long time coming to
its own becauso owners did not believe
expenditure would be Justified In result.
Today It is a fixed fact that such' must
bo done: and when property is improved
renters and buyers are not hard to find.
Tho expense comes back, or good interest
in tho advance In rental value.
In the part of Filbert street between
Sth street and the Reading Terminal, nine
signs appear upon property Tor sale or
to rent, anil nearly all upon those which,
while in good condition and desirable,
have not been brought up to the high
pitch of newly built property.
From Juniper street, going east, on the
north side we find the Bulletin Building,
lot CO feet 114 Inches by 147 feet 4 Inches,
nsscesed at $000,000, and adjoining a lot
Nos. 1515-17 Filbert street, in the same
ownership, 42 feet by 147 feet, and as
ecsscd at $1CO,000, as a vacant lot. Then
1311-13 Filbert Btreet. 50 feet by 150 feet
belonging to H. J. Justt, also a vacant
lot, and assessed at $200,000. This prop
erty Is next to the fine Hotel Vcndlg. on
the northwest corner of 13th and Filbert
streets tnkli.R In Nos. 1301 to 1309, and
assessed for $SO0,0rO.
aILw n0trn.rd to remember tho old
dwell ngs which Blood upon the lota men-
1m K.ablive nnd the enormous advance
hlch Is shown by the assessments.
IMPORTANT BUILDINGS.
On the south side In this block the large
properties aro Nos, 1302-01 Filbert street,
Horn & Hardart Baking Company, lot
27 feet by 105 feet, and assessed at $15S,000;
Nos. 1S04-OS-10 Filbert street, seven-story
laundry of John Wannmaker, lot 62 feet
by 10(5 feet, and assessed at J3M.000, and
No, 1312 Filbert street, lot 33 feet 1 Inch
by 10(3 feet, B. W. Fleischer, assessed at
1130,000. There are, however, a number of
small properties of an older pattern which
have not yet had anything like a Jump In
value, and It will not come until the break
Is made to better conditions. It Is a fact,
however, that tl'ere Is virtually no prop
erty offered for rent between the Beading
Terminal and Juniper street.
In the 1200 block on the south side the
large property, Nos. 1230, 1332 and 1234 Fll
pert atieet. Is a two-story brick store.
Only the store fronts and some Interior
adjustments hnve been made. It is on a
lot B7 feet by 10 feet Hi Inches, and la
assessed at $159,000. At the northwest cor
ner of 12th street Is the Llpplncott Build-In?-,
lot 30 feet by 107 feet, and assessed at
$250,000; Nos. 1213-15, the Heed Building.
40 feet by 107 feet, and assessed for
$190,000; Nos. 1221.33. next to the Hotel
Windsor, lot 33 feet by 107 feet, assessed
at $130,000.
The future, and very active future, of
Filbert street Is not at all far off, and
purchases being made will be by those
who know. It Is too short a street, now
that It Is to be acited west of 15th
street, and too central a business proposi
tion to lag, with everything In sharp de
mand on Market street.
NOTES ON THE STREET.
More than $150,000 appears (his week In
the list of mortgages recorded loaned by
trust and title companies. Mortgages are
Jr.ore numerous and building societies are
as actUe as ever.
Plans have been filed for an apartmont
house at the northeast comer 22d and
Jalnut streets, to be 12 stories In height.
This was tho residence for many yeara
of the Preston family, and later wai
owned by Henry Gross. The entire va
cation of. Walnut street to commercial
need Is not very far off.
The number of permits for the erection
of dwellings of the two-story brick class
Is increasing. Among- the number are 15
Rest side of Sth street, north of Lycom

TO REMOVE BODIES FROM
OLDEST BURIAL GROUND
Friends Will Make Eoom for De
mand of Improvements.
Considerable interest has been aroused
by arrangements madu today for the re
moval of bodies from a portion of tho
oldest burial ground In Philadelphia, at
3d nnd Arch streets, to make room for a
proposed addition to the Friends' book
store, at 301 Arch street. It Is not known
when the work will bogln. While plan3
call for the erection of an addition to the
book storo on a plot of ground In the
rear of tho store, It was said today that
It was not known when the removal
vould be made, as the contract for th.j
building had not been nwarrtod.
For the last CO years the ground In the
icai of the book store nfljointng tho
burial ground has been used as the back
jard of the store. No interments havo
been made there for 104 years. It is ques
tionable whether any traces of any of
tho few bodies that are burled beneath
the yard will be found. The bodies that
will be found will be relnterred In the
Friends' Burial Ground at Darby Town
ship, Delaware County.
The original patont for the burying
ground given by William Penn, In 1701,
Is still In the hands of the Society of
Friends. Records show that one of the
first persons to be burled there was the
wife of Governor Loyd. William Penn
spoke at her grave when she was burled.

A BOARDWALK CROWD.
It Is a Joyful, well-dressed crowd It
remind? one of the Uonrdwnlk pamde nt
the shore. Just ns the Boai-ilwnlk nnd
Chestnut street have their characters, so
has CSIrnrd, I'rnnkford mid Kensington
atonuos.
Atlantic City for years boasted of n
cd flannel nliirtf-d hcto, who wns reputed
to hnve saved many lives In the surf
In summer he paraded tho beach ns a
life saver. It Is true he did not wear
a bathing suit, for he accepted many In
vitations at the bars, nnd tho bar In
question were not the ones which wreck
ships off the Atlantic City coast.
In winter he wns always found
patrollng Chestnut street or Market
street. In hl blue flannel, life gunrd
short, and ho always was near that spot
that would be lighted up when the cafe
doors swing. Tho old "cap" took no
chances of being overlooked. For a
drink the captain would tell a tale of
his icscues. He did this for years until
he finally wns voted n nuisance.
He no longer struts, the Atlantic City
beach. Ho still haunts the cafes, where
for old times' sake, and his Munchausen
reputation an occasional nod Is given
him nnd the captain takes the look of
recognition ns an Invitation nnd loses
no time in raising his rheumatic left foot
to the brnis rail and with ills right hand
safely pilots the glass to his lips.
HKROES nicnn, TOO.
Kensington and Richmond have their
heroes. They haven't got Market Btrect
Old Captain Clark, but they have Jimmle
Dunn. Jimmle never claims to bo a hero.
Ho Is Just one of those work-a-day fel
lows who lost a hand In a hosiery mill.
He claims nothing for himself. Ho will
explain that he was a little careless in
chnnglng a gearing, or something, and
he was mighty lurky ho did not lose an
arm. He does not want iharlty or sym
pathy, but Is thankful If one makes a
purclinse of buttons whkh suve bachelors
worry by sewing themselves on to a pair
of trousers by steel teeth. For his women
patrons he carries a line of thread nnd
needles.
INTRODUCING TOM.
There Is Tom Martin. Sometimes he
sells peanuts, sometimes (lowers. Ho gen
erally can bo found near Front and York
stieets. Tom Is an affable old fellow and
likes a wee nip at times. He got a bullet
through the shoulder during the Civil
War. Surgery In those days, wns not at
Its best. In consequence, the left arm of
Tom 1 useless. livery three months Tom
gets i'J) from the Got eminent as a pen
blon The pension l a mark of apprecia
tion of the I'nlted States to the man who
wns willing to lota an arm In Its service.
What makes Tom popular Is the man
ner In which he is willing to spend his
pension. When the pension Is spent the
veteran brings forth ills peanut basket
and lives precariously, but happily, by
gorging men with peanuts they do not
want. He explains that live cents' worth
of peanuts will obliterate a breath trail
that some suspicious wives are looking
for when they throw their nrms about
their husbands' necks on a Saturday.
STREET FAKERS GALORE.
Street fakers, who ply their profession in
the streets near the markets during the
week, go to Kensington and Richmond
on Saturday nights. They glibly tell
of being a boy of the old North
east, and the holiday throng always stops
to listen and generally to buy.
Kensington and Richmond are proud of
their stores, proud of their Institutions,
of their pretty girls and boys in tho mills,
and are loyal to tho street venders who
have been crippled at their work.

There is no guesswork when a musician buys

That so many discriminating musicians have
the Henry F. Miller Piano in their homes and

The musician rinds in the Henry F, Miller a
tone sympathetic and vibrant. A piano having
behind it half a century of experience; made
throughout for lasting worth.
The Colonial Upright gives you Henry F.
