The tale would not BE- believed if the

indulge in such conduct disgrace their

their roughness is in their truth Law

PREUISUr rHE CITY
smaller r,scrlpu Dh,rrct. wanted


Now that tho smoke OF the late political
battle has cleared away it IS a good time
for considering the proprioty of districtjng
the city into precincts. In his last
annual message Mayor MaoGonigIc,
referring to this subject, said It.
has become evident to the most casual
observer that additional polling places
should bc provided in nearly all tho
wards Of the city. Ono of tho strongest
arguments used Tor making nine wards in
the city out Of tho old four divisions, was
that theTo were too many votes cast at one
polling place. The smallest ward in tho
city now, on a iull poll, has nearly five
huudred votes, the largest nearly nine
hundred. Ia any case the number IL too
| great The trainers of the new con
stitution wisely provided, Article 8,
Section III, that districts in cities
OF over 100. 900 inhabitants, shall be
divided by the courts of quarter sessions
having jurisdiction therein, whenever at
| the next preceding election more than two
hundred and fifty votes shall have been
pOlled therein and other election districts,
whenever the court of the proper county
shall be of the opinion that the convenience
of tho electors aud the public interests will
be promoted thereby These small sub-di
visions mako the detection of election frauds
and the preservation of order on election
day more easy. Three hundred voters for
any ono poll are plenty. The additional
expense would DO of little Importance.
commend the matter to your very serious
consideration"
The votes cast for mayor in each ward
at tho recent election were as follows lst
ward 405, ID ward $50, 81 ward, 548, 4th
ward $40, 9th ward 57S, 9th ward S22, 7th
ward 7O3, s.h ward SO2, OH ward 752
There never was greater occasion thar
now for the precnctng to be made. The
first five wards might have but two pre-
cincts for the present, but the outside -four
should DO divided into threo precincts
each and the matter should DO brouy yh'
to the notice of the court at once, 30 as t.
DO accomplished before the fall election.

ASH WEDNESDAY,.



To day is Ash Wednesday, the first day
of Lent. 1t is observed with great cere
mony in the Catholic, Episcopal and other
churches, its name being derived from tho
custom, still in vogue in Catholic churches,
of sprinkling tho heads of the penitents
with ashes, the injunction being made at
the same time by tho priest Remember,
man, that thou art dust, and unto dust
thou shalt return" The practice of oh
serving Lent is very ancient one aud is
thought to have reference TO the forty
days fast of the Saviour in the desert,
although there are some who believe it
refers to the 40 years wandering OF the
Jews, or to the 40 days granted tho Nine
vites for repentance.
With the devout Lent Is a period of fast
ing and prayer in preparation for tho
Sayiour's resurrection a. Easter. 1t Is
marked by q cessation in large part of
social pleasures, and in olden time by a
very strict system of fasting. The ancient
Tigor in the lattor respect has been con-
siderably modified, although to this day
able bodi ed Catholics are expected to eat
but ono meal day, except on Sundays,
and at but few of the week days is per
mission granted to eat meat at the mid
day meal. Services were held last evening
and this morning in the Episcopal churches
aud this morning in the several Catholic
churches OF tue city.

The MILK I'm the Cocoanut.

The proposed merger Of the United
Pipe line in the National Transit COM
pany, which is simply transfer by the
Standard oil company from one pocket
to another, excites attention because 1t
is wondered what the Standard is
driving at in the apparently objectless
transfer and several probable theories
are advanced TO account for the per
formance, which is understood by COM
mon consent to point at steal of some
kind. One explanation Is that the
United Pipe lines have never declared
dividend yet, because 1t would have
carried heavy dividend tax to the state
and that now transfer OF the whole
concern as IL stands to the National
Transit, which is said to be a foreign
corporation, will enable the spoils OF the
United Pipe lines to be carried out OF
the state for division. That would be a
very pretty scheme and would account
for the niger in the wood pile,
il the facts are as stated. Then, again,
it is said that the Standard people are
looking ahead to a time in the near fu-
ture when the Pennsylvania oil fields
will become exhausted and their pipe
lines I've without oil to carry and, there.
fore, valueless. Contemplating this con-
tingency, they think it prudent to take
out a portion, at least, of their stakes ;
and they have therefore determined
to water their pipe line stock, which
now pays fifty to hundred per cent, so
that it will still pay ten per cent. for q
while, and be sufficiently attractive TO
secure buyers. In other words, the
Standard proposes to sell nearly dry
orange before its skin becomes 50 visibly
shrunken as to betray its condition IL
the deluded purchaser.
That explanation will do, too, if the
facts be as stated, Meanwhile, let it be
noted that all the explanations offered
are unanimous in their Inscriptions of the
Standard as band of thieves.
