TOWN TOPICS.

One evening soon after the recent
meeting Of the Democratic County
Committee, Gilmore's Band came out
and serenaded certain individual who
claimed the result of that meeting as a
victory. Shortly after that a member
of the band was overheard to say that
the band came out on special invita-
ton of that individual, and that he
gave them five dollars for it. The boys
did perfectly right, and their charge
was a very reasonable one. Their ser
vices can be procured at any time,
whenever any fellow with more money
than brains wants to have himself ser.
enaded, under the belief that he is fool
ing the "dear people" into the idea
that he is very popular and that the
bands and the people all seek to do
homage to him. And so they do, when
there is five dollars or so in it.
The cock fight at the Central Park
Hotel last week Thursday night, drew

The main was gotten up by a
Bloomsbury man and Danville man,
who handled the birds and divided
the admission money at fifty. a
head. The betting was lively, bets as
high as fifty Dollars being made, and
big money changed hands. Those
who bet on Bloomsburg came home
with less money than they went away
with, for DanviIle won every fight but
one.

ST. PAUL'S PARISH NOTES.

The institution of Lent is doubtless
OF Apostolic origin, as many OF the
early fathers attest And the chief
christian authorities of the first three
centuries uniformly recognize its exist
ence as an observance of their times.
lnthe year Of our Lord 3 ? s, the Council
of Nicaa fixed the period of the fast at
forty days, and that has b4en the term OF
its duration down to the present day.
While, however, Lent is no new thing,
the recurring penitential season calls
upon christian people anew, year by
year, to a careful observance of its
claims, to special watchfulness and de-

An Apology

A few days ago m article appeared in these
columns which had the tendency to do an injury
TO the well-known corporation, the Larkin Soap
Manufacturing Company, Of Buffalo, N. Y.
This company sell their product direct to con-
sumers, not doing business through the stores at
all. Further than this, they employ no travel
ing men. Their offers are made direct to private
parties, and some OF these propositions seem so
extremely liberal that instead OF gaining ac-
ceptance at once, as they should do, they only
excite the suspicion OF the person to whom the
offer IA made. In fact the proposition seems too
good to be true. and one of the Journals subscrib-
ers took this view or the matter, and handed in
tho article 10 which reference is made.
On Investigation the journal finds that the
Larkin soap Manufacturing Company is entirely
responsible In every way. 1t has the indorse-
ment OF the at Buffalo. the county
treasurer, the Mayor, and half n dozen of the

ECHOES FROM THE MEETING
Matters that Have Developed Regard
ing the Controllers Estimates.
Extravagant Estimate for the Fire Depart
ment-Rysn's Remarkable Statement
Matters Before the Bard.

Some things are cropping out that oc-
Cured at the meeting of the financial CON-
mittee of the Council. at Mr.. Rassmann's
office, Tuesday night Among them Is the
remarkable statement of Councilman p.
Jasper Ryan. While the estimates were
being discussed, he declared that he was in
favor of leaving the ia levy as 1t is-60
cents-and was in favor of cutting down
the appropriation for street improvements
TO $4,000. This latter statement Is remark
able IN that 1t brings into startling relief
the dense cloud of ignorance that is hover
ing around p. Jasper's devoted head. The
charter says that at least one-tenth of the
money available for city expenses shall be
appropriated for permanent street improve
ments. The appropriation can be made
larger If necessary. but not smaller. One
tenth of the available amount this year Is
S6S. 600. Mr.. Ryan has been q member OF
the Council for almost a year, yet 1t Is
patent that be has not read the olty charter.
AT the meeting the other night Mr.. DOL
len stated that IN the aggregate the esti-
mates could not be cut more than $4,000
and leave sufficient money to RIM the city.
He said for the money required 1t would
take a seventy-ceDt levy. A few hgures
will show a trusting public how economi-
cal this business administration Is. Last
year the fire force payroll Amounted to
S9l Geo and the general expenses 10 S12. 938.
This year the estimate for the ire force pay
roll amounts TO Sll0,270 and the general ex-
penses to S27, 400. There are now In the de-
partment about twenty-five more men than
there were last year. yet the service has
not been as good. In fact, 1t has
been SO bad that not long
ago the Association of Fire Insurance COM
panies of the United States sent to this
city their representative. Mr.. Hendricks,
to find out what was the matter with the
Indianapolis fire department. He found
the condition so bad that had Superintend-
ent Allen, of the local insurance assocla-
tion, not written "a letter to the national order
the premium rate would have been raised.

Councilman Young called, yesterday morning,
to see what had been done about sewer connec-
tions for Hall place. Contracts have been let
for both Of the Hall-place alleys. While talking
over the matter the resolution for the sewer was
examined, and il was found that City Engineer
Mansfield had not followed the curb or property
line, but had run 1t to the curve.

'that you would say something TO US before you
make changes in resolutions"

said Mr.. Mansfield. "because 1t would run into
barns and other buildings"
This is the second time Mr.. Mansfield has been
set down on by the board In this manner.

The Board Set Upon Him.

Yesterday morning Mr.. Frank Dean called on
the Board OF Public Works to ask for an electric
light at the corner Tennessee and Second streets.
1t SO happened that the board had not before
met Mr.. Dean and talked rather sassy to him,
telling him in tones that plainly said, NOW,
make a sneak" that it could DO nothing for
him. To this Mr.. Dean retorted that he was not
much disappointed, as he had not expected to
get any satisfaction out of the board. He stated
before leaving that two years ago he had handed
in a petition signed by all the pr0perty-owner
asking for the Improvement Of Second street.
Clerk Parker hustled around and found that an
order had been sent to the engineer a year ago
to prepare q resolution for improving Second
street from Illinois to Tennessee street. Mr..
Dean was so disguested that he did not wait to
sec what the board intended to do about this
street.
