Kh>m Our Special Correspondent I'HILADELPHIA. May 11—When Cape Mayans speaa. In an off-hand way. of “the city,” It is understood that reference is made to Philadelphia, a city which receive* many thousands of noo-ra*ident buxlness folk and rial tors from surrounding localities daily—a municipality in which so many outside townspeople and even conntry resident* feel that they hare almost a common interest with the citizens themselves. So. knowledge of what is going on in Philadelphia is eagerly sought by a dally perusal of the city paper. Some j surprises have reached the clty-lntere»t«d ‘ residents of the Jersey side of tbe Dels- : ware, not unworthy of special comjpeflt. j Upon the ladle*, more .pa! llCfflarly, be- j gins to dawn tbe fact that tbe long-con-' templated new building at Wanamaker's !s actually in prooes- of erection, the eo-' tire sUucinre to be reared with bat little j interruption of ^nsine**. Work on tfaw uderground section has been going on ar nearly a year, and the upper floors will br erected in quarter sections, with twelve stories above i oaund, and an ‘excavation of 7U feet to accommodate the basement departments, the southeast corner of which, it is said, will be devoted to tbe use «f tbe Rapid Transit Company's offices T .ere will be underground facilities for receiving incoming goods and lor loading tbe delivery wagoss. thus avoiding tbe necessity of loading or unloading goods at

the curb.

Mr. E. 6. Hand, formerly of Cape May, brothtt of County Superintendent A. W. Hand, and who is connected with a large wire glass manufacturing company, laat week closed a contract with Mr. Wanamaker's representative for tbe placing of wire glass to tbe amount of nearly 1800,000. The entire building will be erected at a cost of 16,000.000. It was John Wanamak er who twenty eight years ago Inaugurated the department store system of business or “The New Kind of a Store.” as be terms jt. In Philadelphia, and it U John Wans maker wko still live# to outrival In greatness all other similar establishment* that have arisen since. And the great mass of Philadelphia lady shoppers are longing with anxious impatihnbe to wander through tbe gorgeous aisles of the new “Wanamaker's.” How many more administrations tbe city is to pass through before tbe foul, dis-ease-breeding water of tbe Schuylkill will be replaced by water from a purer source, or purified by a correct filtration system, none can tell. Many millions of dollar* have been appropriated fo> the avowed purpose of remedying tbe evU, bat while the contractor* are presumably growing rich, tbe people continue to suffer disease and death at a fearful rateTha latest discovery of bad Judgment or bad faith, Is tb*t sand from the bottom of tbe Delaware, reeking with tbe filth of sewage, has been used as filter sand though the water sent into the bomca > not dangerous enough already.
