its. beg leave to report that the work asked for

Chairman Committee on Drainage.
Report received.
The special committee appointed to consider
the advisability of the city's owning and operat
ing the Scavenger Department after expiration
of the present contract, beg leave to report that
after careful inquiry ami consideration they are
of the opiulon that the department can lie or
ganized at an outlay of not exceeding SB,OOO and
operated at an annual cost of not exceeding
$13,300, including salary of superintendent and
rent of stables, which annual cost might be
diminished as much as SI,BOO tty continuing to
raise hay and oats on city Springfield lands
heretofore occupied and planted ny the con
tractor. Your committee believe that more
w ork could In thus manner be accomplished than
by the contract system. To properly serve
their purposes the wagon bodies should have no
openings in the bottoms and have sideboards at
least four inches higher than those now in
use. Much of the garbage might he
burned without furnaces; by using fur
naces all might, be burned. Inasmuch as
other cities are experimenting in this matter,
and will likely attain satisfactory results during
another year, delay In the construction of fur
naces is advised. Your committee would rec
ommend that the Committee on Health and
Cemetery be authorized and requested to have
prepared necessary ordinance and to contract
for suitable stables, mules, wagons and other
necessary outfit of the scavenger service, to be
owned by the city and operated under the direc
tion of the committee.

His Girl’s Picture in a Pocket Coin.
From the Philadelphia News.
“I gave you a silver dollar for seme
cigars half an hour ago. Will you look over
your money-drawer aud see if it lias been
passed outt”
It was in a Chestnut street cigar store late
Saturday afternoon. A well-dressed young
man was the speaker. His face wore a
worried and anxious look and betrayed con
siderable perturl>atiou of spirit over the loss
of the silver dollar. The dealer found that
he had just eleven of the coins and he spread
them in a row on the counter. The young
man took them up one by one, weighed each
in turn in his hand and an expression of
vexation overspread tiis face as lie laid the
last down very carefully and murmured
“l knew I couldn’t tell that way.”
Then he went at them again. This time
he grasped the dollar firmly with one hand
and pressed his nail upon the letter “E” in
“States.” At the eleventh dollar, to which
he applied the nail of the little finger, all the
others having been broken in the fray, there
came a sudden change in the Rppearance of
the coin. Half of it slid one way and half
the other, and in the lower half, covered
with a flat crystal, was the miniature of an
extremely pretty girl. The young man
heaved a sigh of relief, laid down a green
back in exchange, and left the store rue
fully regarding nis broken finger nails.

Me*>rn. Commit it CKitmuin:
Oarers—The RANGE AND BALTIMORE
HEATERS plaowl by your Arm in my residence
ittr giving satisfaction.
The RANGE Is perfect in its workings, and in
addition heats the dining-room and chamber
above.
With the HEATERS I can warm either of the
rooms above that which the HEATER is In, and
with les Del than I could one room with an
open grate® I believe that the saving in fuel
will soon repay one for their cost, without speak
ing of their cleanliness and convenience. I take
pleasure in recommending your Arm to all who
wish anything in that Une. Truly yours,

FINANCE
\ GOOD, JUDICIOUS FINANCIER, who goes
slow and sure, looking after his or her own
interests, will not and cannot, in justice to them
selves, fail to note how much they can save by
purchasing their Clothing, Hats and Furnish
ing Goods of APPEL & SC HAUL, the One-Price
Clothiers, who mark each and every article iu
plain figures—no deviation whatever. Their
style of doing the one-price plan, PLAIN FIG
URES, is sufficient guarantee that the goods are
marked as low as can be legitimately sold for,
as it is a well-known fact that a strictly one
price plan of doing busloeaa cannot bo success
ful with fancy figures.
Then again, buying your Clothing of us you
do not run the risk of meeting some friend or
acquaintance with the identical Bulfc or Overcoat
bought at the Fame place at different prices.
You can send your child to us, who will re
ceive the same treatment a* yourself. We never
misrepresent any article, ua we give a memoran
dum slip to every cash purchase, entitling the
purchaser to return the article purchased in ten
days if uninjured, and full amount of cash re
funded.
We have our own Tailoring Department on
second floor, where we make all alterations
necessary to a perfect fit or no sale.
We merely mention these few facts to show a
few of the benefits derived of us, and respect
fully invite those who have not given us a trial
to do so, ami we assure you, after getting ac
qua in ted with our style of doing business in gen
eral, you will favor us with your continual pat
ronage. We have in stock now and are recelv
ing some special novelties for the approaching
holidays, to which we call especial attention.
