st. Georges Complaints.

Mr.. EDITOR 1T is not the object
nor the pleasure of your correspondent
to be public censor, nor does he wish
to publish the shame Of the, town, but
the time has arrived when forbearance
ceases to be virtue and it is necessary
to speak plainly. The way the public
affairs have been mismanaged here is
disgrace to any civilized community
and if there is moi an uprising at the
polls at the next town election it will
be because the . ring y has more fol-
lowers than there are self-respecting1
citizens.
For some months the street lighting
has been miserable, but the past few
weeks have eclipsed even the preceding
period. On several dark, stormy
nights the lamps were not lighted at
all, yet they were most needed on those
nights, and when they were lighted
they invariably burned out before II
o'clock and some as early as 10 O'Clock.
The excuse the town bailiff gives is
that the committee of council allows
him but certain amount of oil per
night and it is not sufficient to keep
the lamps burning later. III the Town
Council can not afford to furnish more
oil, then it would be far better to abol-
ish the street lighting business alto
gether and save the taxpayers the ex-
pense of useless system.
Again-The street committee expend-
ed large sum of monsy for terra Gotta
pipes which were distributed to the
points where they were to be placed in
position two months ago. Not one
of them has been laid and the result is
that to-day not dozen can found in
the town that are in condition to be
used, almost the entire number being
broken.
This same committee has shamefully
neglected to repair public crossings
while they have been busily repairing
the sidewalks fronting their own prop
critics, one of the committee doing
some of the brick-layin5 himself.
Good pavements have been torn up
and relaid aud those needing repairs
have been neglected. Work upon the
street crossing across Delaware avenue
from the creamery to the post-office
was abandoned seven weeks ago when
it was about half-finished, and there it
remains as it was then. The old cross.
ing would have answered better than
the single plank does now.
However, / will not occupy more of
your space in this issue, but unless
there is change for the better ssa1ne.
of our town officials will heaH1

broke out, and NJ and Mime. Roland threw
themselves into the movement with great
enthusiasm. The revolutionists themselves
however, soon divided into opposing part
les, one containing Robespierre, Marat
Danton and other ferocious men, who used
murder and great cruelty TO advance their
cause, and the other the Girondist party,
which advocated princip pies OF law and or
der, to which the Rolands belonged
The former party determined to get rid
of their opponents, and an attempt was
made to prove Mime. Roland and Others
guilty Of plot against the nation. Our
cut shows this courageous woman as she
appeared when confined in the famous
prison Of the Conciergerie, just after her
friends had been sent to the guillotine. In
this prison there was an iron railing sep
arating the part in which she was confined
from that Of the male prisoners, and she
conversed with them through this railing,
encouraging them by her noble sentiments.
Though no treason could be proved against
her, she was condemned TO death for her
faithfulncss TO the cause OF the Girondsts
When Nine Roland was being taken to
the guillotine for execution there was in
the same cart with her a man who was in
much fear. At the guillotine it was con
sideTed a privilege to be allowed TO die first,
so as to be spared the shock of seeing the
blood Of Others Nine. Roland was granted
this favor, but she begged that the man,
who was greatly terrified, might go first.
The executioHer demurred to this, but com.
piled when she said, with a smile, "You
cannot, am sure, refuse the last request
of a lady" When her turn came she gazed
on the colossal statue of liberty that stood
near the guillotne, and exclaimed, "Ah,
Liberty how many crimes are committed
tn thy name"
This heroic woman persisted on the 10th
of November, 1898.

Tire Camp Game.

Good Housekeeping tells how ~ play this
game: Select. two gentlemen as captains
who In turn call the names OF those they
desire to enter their particular camp When
a division Of the company has thus been
made the camps separate, each having one
room. They then select some word OF
words denoting subject or object, as, for
example, the loud pedal of the piano in the
Profile House in the White mountains, OF
the dragon flies painted on the ceiling of
the bathroom in the House Of Pansa in
Saratoga, or any other thing seemingly
impossible to guess.
When both camps have decided on an
object to be guessed, the captain of each
details a person to be interviewed by the
other camp. This person must correctly
answer, by yes or no, all questions, but
must not convey any unnecessary informa-
ton As soon "a the object is guessed the
camp Immediately clap, so announcing
that they are victors, and the individual
who has been questioned becomes a mem
Der Of the enemy's camp. Tho one possess

Florida Camphor.
The new industry Of camphor production
gives promise Of being permanently estab-
iished in Florida. 1t is believed that in ten
years time there will be more camphor
trees than orange treesin Florida, and that
tie camphor industry will be- more profit
able than that Of sugar II is stated that
the camphor obtained from the Florida
trees approaches more nearly to that OF
Japan than to Chinese camphor, since the
odor of safrol is distinctly recognizable. -
