A WONDERFUL TOWN.
ITS NAME IS WAYNE, AND IT IS NEAR
PHILADELPHIA.
Pounded by Anthony J. Dretel and Oeorge
W. Child. A Place of Unlet Itesldetiee,
Away From the Marts of Trade Police
men Are Not Needed.
About a dozen tulles from Philadel
phia, on the main line of the Pennsylva
nia railroad, is the wonderful town of
Wayne. The wonderful town of Wayne
is a product of the philanthropy of
George W. ChlldB, who, toother with
Anthony J. Drezel, planned to bring it
Into existence for the benefit of such Phil
adelphlans as yearned for more suburban
life than was ufforded by the shady thor
oughfares and placid highways of their
native city, and ns Kir. Chi Ids unci Mr,
Drexel had unlimited capital with which
to carry out the plan for an ideal sub
urban settlement Wayne was founded
on the firmest of foundations and has
flourished in a manner calculated to
cause the proverbial bay tree to wither
with envy.
Tho inhabitants of Wayne number
several thousand and are all inordinate
ly proud of being Wnynoites. They ure
proud with the pride which flushes tiio
obsequious head salesman of the suspen
der department when tho firm recognizee,
his worth and promotes him to tin' dizzy
altitude of second floorwalker in chief,
and their pride is a thorn in lheidos of
all the snrrouuding settlements and less
ostentatious suburban stations. Most of
them that is,most of the males nre wor
thy clerks under uiidillu ago and blessed
with wives and rapidly accumulating
olive branches, and if they am not wor
thy clorks they are worthy in some other
lino, for none but worthy persons have
ever found a foothold in Wayne, and the
breath of ncandal has never smirched the
polish of its purity. Their wives are as
typical of tho quiet middle fluss Phila
delphia women and girls uh they them
selves are representative of the average
spotlessly conventional Philadelphia
tuuacnliiie being.
Physically regarded, Wayne is as fair
to look upon as it is from a moral stand
point, Jt is an exposition of thooKsencoof
Queen Anne in urchitccluro, tempered
with the colonial and the other popular
forms of rurul residence design which
buve intiie hist decade run riot through
out the length and breadth of tho hind.
There are durk red houses and bright
red ones, there are those which are red
and green, and pink and green, und ca
nary and green, and there areorangeand
white ones, and there are pearl colored
types with dove tinted trimmings. And
there are just as many unconventional
designs in shape as there are in color,
and altogether the woudorful town of
Wayne is a most satisfying spcctaclo to
any one who seeketh the beautiful, the
odd or the abnormally hideous iu inex
pensive but conspicuous dwellings.
Naturally such a settlement is above
reproach iu its government. It has
broad roads, perfectly laid, fine, broad
sidewalk's, a waterworks and splendid
drainage, all of which were provided by
Messrs. Childs and Drexel. and it has a
president and council, a fire engine
equipment, an athletic club and ground
for both sexes, a debuting society, a
series of winter dances, a sewing circle,
a whist club and a lot of other such at
tractions provided by the residents them
selves, and all these things are managed
without a hitch or a jar, and peace
reigns supreme from Jan. 1 iu any given
year uutil the hour of midnight on the
following 81st of December.
Wuyno has no stores of any kind, and
of course a saloon is as foreign to its
confines as a snow-storm would be in an
equatorial jungle. On the other side of
the railroad there is also a Wayne
an old fushioued Revolutionary times
Wayne named after tho American gen
eral who was known as Mud Anthony
Wayne, and there may be found shops
ami stores and saloons and business
offices, but iu the new and beautiful
Wayue such things are unknown and
must ever be unknown unless the laws
of its organization be ruthlessly shatter
ed and the dictates of its title deeds ig
nored. Nor has it any police, but then why
should it have? No one is bad, no one is
other than faultless, the very dogs don't
bark at night, the cats remain indoors
after sunset, and a policeman would be
as much out of place in Wayne as
prizefighter at a little girls' pner doll
party. Hut the sweet sense of security
which iervadcs the place is not without
its insurance clause., so to speak. Even
Wayne might be invaded by a reckless
tramp lient on securing n squnre meal or
(horrible as the thought is to the Wayne
ites) by a nocturnal prowler seeking to
enter and rob a happy home. And then,
too, the business hours of the day find
its adult male population away in the
city, and the women have not their nat
ural protectors at hand.
Therefore each family has a huge tin
born on which a mighty blast can be
sounded as an alarm when aid is needed
to repulse a tramp or to fight the Are
fiend. At first the alarms were frequent,
because the children could not resist
testing the tin horns at unseemly hours,
but a meeting of the council fixed a fine
of 3 on false alarms, and now, through
the agencies of repeated spankings and
also of hanging the horns too high for
the children to reach, no more false
alarms come to startle the community,
Wayne came very near being called
Mentone, which was to have been pro
nounced Me-'u-tony as a pleasant recog
nition of the intimate friendship between
Mr. Childs and Mr. Drexel, but the idea
was abandoned. As it stands now it is
an enduring monument to both these
men, and it has not only fostered their
fame, but increased their fortunes as
well. New York Mail and Express.

THE GREAT PACIFIC.
Him Advantage iiM'ireln Hullliigon nn Area
of Water Nn Vast,
Tho Pacific Is the great ocenti of our
planet. In coinpariiion with it tlin
north Atlantic id n mere utrait nnd tho
Indian ocean nothing morn than Hid sub
merged bench of n congeries of drowned
islands. Along tho lino of 70 degrees
south latitude the width of the Pacific is
131 degrees of longitude, over one-third
of the cirenmference of the globe. Be
tween It and the south polar continent
nothing Intervenes. Its northern ex
tremity was probably at one time round
ed off by tho country which is now di
vided between Alaska and Siberia.
When tho glacial masses moved to the
pole, the polar current clovo Its way

Behrlng son between tho Pacific and
the polar ocean.
It presents every form of ocean geog
raphy. At the two extremities It Isshnl
low. There is a bench running along
the Aleutian islands into tho gult of
Alaska which comrs within 100 fathoms
of tho surface, with occasional holes so
deep that no apparatus can find the bot
tom and be recovered without breaking
tho wire, and there is a corresponding
bench in the southwest portion of the
sea west of the meridian of 180 degrees
where 100 fathoms is nUa the average.
Between this last bench and the latitude
of 88 degrees north there Is a rsngo of
tibmnrine rocky mountains with steep
cliffs and sharp descents. Three or four
distinct mountain ridges with from two
to three miles of water between them
have been counted between the Ha
waiian Islands and AtiBtrnlia.
On the Pacific can bo found every va
riety of temperature and meteorology.
Out of Bnhring sea pours the icy cur
rent which cools our slioro In summer;
from the equator flow mi miner currents

Whilo the current which sweeps around

Ilerlln Public Kitchen..
A public kitchen for tho working
classes wus inaugurated in 18110 by a
German woman, Han Morgenstein, She
has established many of these kitchens,
each one having a public dining room,
comfortably warmed and furnished and
supplied with the daily papers. Each
kitchen, supplying perhaps from 300 to
400 people with daily meals, is managed
by a local committee, the wbolo scheme
being under tho control of a central
council. All the paid cooks aro on the
premises by 0 in tho morning, and tho
vegetables and meat have been brought
In heforo them.
Waste of any kind is strictly forbid
den. A subscription of fit, 950 was suffi
cient to start this scheme; tho reserve
fund set asido for providing new kitch
ens increases each yeur, whilo the
council pays fair wages and ia nblo to
pension off its old servants. For a sum
varvimr from 11 to fl cents tlm rwiin

A Peep Into the Famous Kngll.h Palars of
the "Kingmaker."
Ono could spend days looking at tho
pictures nt Warwick and ntthosculn
turo and curios. There Is a table, the
dab of which is tniido of fine marble
mosaic, lapis lazuli, and precious stones
which belonged to Mario Antoinette, In
the red drawing room are rare speci
mens of L'monain enamels, also Bohe
mlnn glass and Venetian crystals. This
room leads to tho cedar drawing room,
whose walls are 10 feet In thickness.
One of the many valuable and beautiful
ornaments In this room is a bust of
Proserpine, by onr American sculptor
Power.
Tho "living rooms" of the castlo ex
tend 830 feet in length, and each win
dow gives charming views of the
grounds, in one of these rooms, the
gilt diawing riHiin. Is a Florentine mo
aio tablc.enriched with precious stones,
brought from the Grlinani palace in
Venice. Its vnlue is fl0,000, which,
pleaso remember, is f 50, 000 of Yankee
money. Tho Gritnani arms, tho pope's
triple crown, lion of St. Mark, doge's
cap, keys of St. Peter nnd cnrdinnl's
hat are illustrated in jasper, onyx, am
ethyst, nialucblto and cornelian on its
surface,
A moment after leaving the gilt draw
ing room nnd we are in the state bed
room, where good Queen Anne slept,
and in which her big dreary looking
bed still stands. We don't seem to know
much about Queen Anne's belongings,
thus her bed and traveling trunks at its
foot arouse our interest. In these trunks
wero her majesty's clothes. They are
sens! bio, ponderous trunks, covered with
brown leather and studded with brass
nails. Even an American baggage
smashing porter would have found
Queen Anne's trunks "too largo an or
der" to destroy. Oeorgo III presented
this bedstead, with its faded crimson
enrtuinsand its 19 feet high posts. Over
the fireplace hangs a fine portrait of the
queen herself painted by Sir Godfrey
Kncller. It is in this state bedroom
that Queen Victorln slept when she
visited Warwick castlo with the lato
prince consort. 1 don't know whether
she occupied Anne's bed, but if so I
hope it was moro comfortublo than it
looks.
From tho bedroom is a boudoir, lit
erally crammed with paintings, llere
is Holbein's "Henry Villi" "A Boar
Hunt," by rtnbens; "A Dead Christ,"
ou copper, by n follower of Correggio;
"Charles II 'a Beauties," by Lely; a
"Han Sebastian," by Vandyke; "Card
Players. " by Teni as, und a Snlvator
Hosa landscape.
Tho castle's stato dining room was
burned out in 1S71, hut it lins been re
produced on tho old lir.es and is n truly
royal upai tment. On cither sido of tho
massive fireplace, wliero many a Yulo
log has slowly burned itself out to white
ashes, there are gilt Venetian figures.
Above tho fireplace hangs Ruben's
sketch of lions. Thcro is also in this
room a droll portrait of George III in
tho arms of his mother.
Tho castlo bousts a Shakespeare room,
designed and added by tho bite earl,
and to which the county of Warwick
presented tho Kcnilworth buffet in an
cient oak. Into this room have been col
lected nil procurable Shakespeare rel
ics, nnd resting on an old claw tooted

ndmirablo edition of Shukespcaro of
the lata ilnlliwell Phillipps.
Tho placo has been called tho castlo
of tho kingmaker. Who can visit this
