Xncrasted, with dust, yellow with J age, some nibbled by mice, a real j treasure trove of documents has been ; discovered by workmen restoring the ; old state house, the last of the group ; of Independence hall buildings to re- j ceive the city's attention, says a press j dispatch from Philadelphia. The building was the seat of the city government until 1S53. i One of the official papers relates I that Robert Wharton, once mayor of | ! Philadelphia, addressing the select I council on December 10, 1814, de- j plored the increase of "tippling j houses," especially those that sold j ''ardent spirits" to minors in one and '< two cent quantities. Another record j showed that as late as May 9, 1S16, I a resident of that city paid $23.50 as j a tax for being allowed to carry a j watch. In the "tippling house" address of | Mayor Wharton he called the old-time i saloons "vile sinks." - Ga-iing houses also came in for his attack. He declared that many such houses were being operated in the : city openly for ttie destruction of the j unwary, and lamented that there: were no laws against them. A refer- J " ? -LMl! .t. rt j ! ence to a nne or iu snnuug j.ui iuc | unlawful discharge of firearms was j mentioned by Mayor AVharton. He criticized the filthy condition of "certain footways" and recommended fixing the pavements oh many city streets.

"The Diversions of Purley." John Home Tooke was born on June j 2o, 17,^0, and it was not so many years j after that he was looked upon as one j of the political pests of the era. It is ! rather startling that all the public i questions on which' his opinions were j denied mischievous have since been settled in his favor. Tooke was fined and imprisoned for his opposition to England's war with j her colonies. Twenty-three years after j his death reforms in the house of com- j mom? which lie strongly advocated j were brought about.
