SIss@7 III paper detailing the
IYEH8 experience of q Shen-
v y lra, andoahte IN his first
n! 5!s.S,-,ts,s $500 trip to the city. The
81 7 lD2$<,,ry+ young man is p years
MY. Es of age, and his brother
p. " prominent knight
of the rAz)r." Ho has lived here all his
life and never was away from his fathers
house until his recent trip to Philadelphia.
He had never seen a city, or a ship, or a
big river He wanted to see it all and he
did. In three days he had been on sailing
vessels and steamships and had enjoyed
sail in one of the little cat-b boats on the
Delaware in a squall and he didn't object
out loud when the sail lay in the water and
he was riding on the bottom of the boat
with his legs in the wet He seemed to
think that was the proper thing to do. A
trip to New York, u visit to the Bowery,
the slums and Central Park was made. He
crawled into a big cannon al the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, and wanted to try dive from

masthead OF ship, and he complained be-
cause he couldn't find balloon in which
he could ascend higher. Then he went
back to Philadelphia, and after seeing
about all there was to see went to Glouces-
ter and bet on 'sure tip" a ten to one
shot, and won. For young man on his
first trip to the city he did very well, and
has been entertaining his friends since with
his new experiences.

Sometime last winter a leading Philsdel-
phia newspaper started fund, asking the
public to contribute their mite, for the pur-
pose of bringing home the body of the
murdered sailor, Charles Riggin, which
now lies under the unfriendly soil of Chill.
1 have been asked by several parties what
became of the project, whether the under
taking had been abandoned. In view of
the tact that several contributions from this
town were made to the fund, l think the
paper that exhibited its patriotic sentiments
in devising plan to bring the body to It's
native soil might throw some light upon
the question. Mr.. Editor, you have the
floor. Speak, or forever hereafter hold
your peace.
The contrast between the School Board
and the Borough Council, so far as the
interests of their constituents are concerned,
is greatly in favor of the former. One
looks to the personal gain Of certain mem
bers and their political advancement, while
every action taken by the other body is
for the benefit of the school district and the
advancement of the educational facilities of
the town. Then, again, there is not that
bitterness exhibited in the School Board that
is so noticeable on the part of few mem
bers of the Council and the minority is
treated courteously in all deliberations.
trust the controlling element among our
Town Fathers will soon come to realization
of the importance of a better feeling among
them. 1t would be better for themselves,
for their constituents, and the town in
general

Several parties in town have recently
called my attention to the fact that certain
young men are in the habit of making
raids during the night for plunder. Our
efficient police force broke up the Flynn
gaag in this town, and these parties will
meet the same tate unless they mend their
ways. On Tuesday night certain young
man living at Turkey Run was caught by
an employe entering the stables Of the
Cambridge colliery, and given chase. The
young man is known, and the probabilities
are, if he does not cease his midnight visits
to that place he will surely be boarding
at the county Jail shortly. The horses of
this company have repeatedly been taken
out during the night and driven long
distance, and other depredations carried on.
Be careful, young man; a diligent watch
is now placed at this colliery.

The Republican National Convention
and the approaching special election are
two leading topics of discussion in town.
The Democrats are as busy discussing the
probably action of their national eonven-
tion as the Republicans are in the discussion
of the work at Minneapolis. The local
Democrats are divided in their opinions.
Some want Cleveland, others shout for
Hill, and the third parties wink and say
that Pattison will run beth out

On the water question there are frequent
lively discussions, but when the direct
question is put there are few who will say
