A Literary institute and examination OF

Superintendent Spindler presiding.
The Nail City was we'll represented here
this week with 6rst-clsss business men.
Jos. Coty has made quite change on
his residence, by adding another story to it.
As noticed in the Issue of your Daily OF
the 10Th instant, the agent of the SUNDAY
REGISTER was arrested on Tuesday last
under the auspices of the W. c. I. Union
of this place by warrant issued by Esquire
Mares, under an act OF 1894, in regard to
doing business for gain on Sunday. A
meeting was held the evening previous at
Msyes residence composed of several
ladies, and G. w. CLANCY, who acted for
the ladies by swearing out warrant IN
der the said act Tor the vender of Sunday
papers. But the REGISTER wss :he only
Sunday paper mentioned in said warrant
20 that it was not hard to see the dnimuS.
He (the prosecutor never took any stock
in q Democratic paper, He is q member
of the Republican County Committee and
member OF the borough Council. The
agent of Sunday papers found he could
not stand it to paw the fine of 81 and
costs for each issue of papers as
he would have to contend with
the msjority of the predominant patty. A
compromise was offered and accepted by
which he agreed to quit selling Sunday
papers and the matter was dropped. Then
there was great rejoicing among certain
persons. A member was so much re DICED
chat piece was sent TO Observer" stating
the nuisance was sbsted. We think that
was little premature. as the Sunday pa
pers will still come and be read by the
writer's Peers. We trust that the W. c. I.
Union may 60 on with the reform they
lave commenced. and q good place to
continue their efforts is right among their
own members and n their respective
until sll vice and sin viii hare
ceased their efforts will no doubt blot out
ali the sins Of Old Mother Eve"
1t seems strange that during the war
aud the iBnsss CT Presidents Lincoln and
Garfield that act OF 1894 was overlooked, |
as papers were sold and never q Eori said, |
and the agent of papers brought up copies |
fall kilograms in regard to the condition |
Of the Presidents aud were read By priests,
leacons and members Of ell denominations,
md never a cent was received for his
.rouble, al done On tie Sabbath day. But
Re old Grsnnys here must have some
Hobby" to work We think if they sre
consistent in their profession and would
tudy the Bible and the Commandments
,stter, especially the Eleventh, they would
Tot have the tine to CAD all over town try
ng to find ont who received Sunday pa,
,eEs- The majority Of those who got them
re in as good standing in church and
tate as any in the community and We
on't want them to forget it.
