Pomeroy, the Joint Committee, or the Bor-

say that Mr.. Pomeroy is right. His advice is

All the talk about conditional contracts for
the construction Of the public water works is
a waste of time. do not believe that any
contractor will undertake the construction
upon the condition that if the courts event
ually issue permanent injunction against
the borough claim for breach Of contract
tractors make agreements with a condition
attached, especially with parties situated as
this borough is, they ask for bond to insure
them against any loss by reason Of any suits.
If the borough is wise it will clean its skirts
of all litigations touching upon the water
works before it awards any contract

I have at hand a copy Of the Reading
Morning Herald containing a report of the
recent trip of the Reading Press Club to this
section. The report is a lengthy one and the
gross inaccuracies with which it is studded
makes it amusing We fear the writer did
not take time to fully investigate his subject.
If he had his opinion of Shenandoah would
not be as it appears in type. He says,
Shenandoah is not much of town to look
at 1t has general air of having come in in
the night from somewhere on a coal train,
and one is impressed, as everywhere in the
coal regions, that the people must have saved
great deal by economizing in paint
Shenandoah is not one night stand and so
far as paint is concerned there is no town in
the county more literally decorated, espec-
tally on pay nights, Why, if the writer had
just glanced at the school building just west
Of the depot he would have seen the first
instalment of $500 worth of paint, When
that scribe visits town again I hope he will
get off the train and look around.

have clipped the following extract from
the Reading World account Of the editorial
visit to this section on Sunday last, with par
ticular reference to the visit to the mines Of
Indian Ridge coliery "The visitors were
lowered by two powerful elevators, first over
300 feet, when the engines, stables and
pumps were inspected. Then the party,
divided into tens, took another drop down
into the EARTH this time about $50 feet All
down the excursiOnists inspected the real
work of digging dusky diamonds, in doing
which they gained considerable instruction,
had lots of amusement and got very dirty,
although the mine was comparatively a dry
one In going up the breasts, walking on the
sheet iron, large number Of the party had
toboggan experiences they are likely to re-
member for a long time TO come. One thing
was made evident by the inspection of the
mine: The visitors all concluded that the
miners certainly earned the money paid
them in their hazardous work, and all are
now satisfied to give a trife more for coal if
the difference is to 60 to increase the wages
of the coal delivers"

Lonely, 9 um and sad.
The flies were uuzzing about him,
Led by "a blue-winged CAD.
Not a customer darkened his portal
Not a sign Of business was there;

About the old mans hair
At last in misery he shouted:
Great Scott I'm covered with flies
And the zephyr that toyed with his whiskers

to do the work, for soap should be used for
this work only on very rare occasions, and

FRIDAY ONCE WAS LUCKY.

The New York board of women man.
ayers of the Columbian exposition are
alive to the mistake of dedicating the
buildings and grounds of the Worlds
fair on Oct. 10. At a recent meeting in
Albany a member of the board made a,
comprehensive statement of the reasons
why the change of date to Oct. 81 should
be made, and said in closing: II would
also like to state, in this connection, one
sentimental reason which am sure will
show very interesting set of coinci-l
dences. Columbus left the Old World
on Friday, discovered the New World
on Friday, left the New World on al
Friday, returned to the Old World on a.
Friday, and the 21st of October also falls
ON a Friday; so we see that for us, at
least, Friday is not an unlucky day."

Fourth-This committee should also
arrange that the citizens celebration be-
made to occur in the afternoon, and
should see that the desired prominence
is given to the free school idea in public
ceremonies. Where no arrangements
have yet been made for citizens cele-
bration this committee might them
selves take the initiative, and organize
the afternoon demonstrations as well as
the morning observances in the school
houses.
Fifth-The greater publicity that is
given to this committee, both in its for
nation and in it's work, the better. Ac-
cordingly, the attention of the people
generally must be gained and their inter-
est secured. Let the people be freely in
vited to give suggestions and to send
communications to the local press as to-
the best conduct of the celebration. /
Sixth-The committee should see that
the editors of the local papers are inter-
ested in the movement, and the people
informed through the columns of these
papers of the celebration and what is
being done to make it a success. J
In one word, this 400th anniversary Of
America belongs to all the people. The
public schools take the lead because they
are the organization closest to the peo-
pie, most characteristic of the people and
fullest of hope for the people.

patent by which they and their customers
are exempted from all further share i'm the

rangement also provides future Immunity
to MeTrell & SOule in the manufacture and
sale of their None Such brand.
This is good news for mince pie lovers
everywhere, who can now eat their None
Such pies in peace. This brand has always
been decided favOrite wherever introduced
and the further fact that il can now be
handled with out the risk of the legal com
plications which attaches TO the other
makes, will doubtless add very largely 10
