DOWN IN THE POINTS.
An Order Given to Clean Up That
Part of the Town.
NOTICES SIGNED "MANY CITIZENS
ARE POSTED CALLING UPON THE
PEOPLE TO REMOVE THE GAR
AAGE AND REFUSE.

Notices have been posted throughout
the Points calling upon the property
owners of that section of the town to
clean up their premises and remove all
garbage and refuse which may be lying
around. Ten days time is given for com
pliance with the order, which is signed
MANY Citizens" No one will deny
that there are some portions of the Points
which should receive the attention of a
vigilance committee or some one with
authority to enforce such an order
AS the Points is the most conspicuous
part of the town to strangers who arrive
on the train the property Owners should,
for their own benefit, make it as present
able as possible to visitors, and they
will, at the same time, be guarding against
diseases which are liable to arise from
the present condition of the place. Af-
ter the first hot wave strikes the town
some portions of the Points are almost
unbearable, and the citizens will confer
blessing upon the whole community if
they will obey the notices.
A much more easier way to remedy
the matter would be by having the en-
tire district annexed to the borough.
The people of the Points could then have
their say in improvements, and those who
are negligent in sanitary matters would
be compelled to have some respect for
other folks. AS it is now, it is almost
impossible, except by coaxing or intim-
idation, to have some people take any
interest in the welfare of the town.
The Points has several progressive
citizens, men who are willing to keep
abreast of the times, and in conversation
with some of them this week it was
found they are favorably inclin d, some
even anxious, for annexation. 1t is be-
coming more apparent every day to the
residents Of the whole town that the
greatest obstacle to Freeland's progress
is the present way of having two-thirds
of the town in the township, without any
municipal government or any legal
means of making the improvements that
are necessary for such a large body of
paopla

The following is what the report says:
While blasting rocks in the deep cut
above White Haven, Michael Greening,
a Lehigh Valley Railroad foreman, met
with thrilling experience. After firing
blast in quarry he climbed upon the
ledge of rocks to note the effect the shot
had taken, when, to his horror, he found
the shot had uncovered den of huge
black snakes, and before he could real
ize his position he was surrounded by
nearly one hundred snakes varying from
three to seven feet in length. He had
no chance to run and to Jump down was
impossible, as he was over 80 feet from
the track. But Mike is possessed of
cool head and an abundance of pluck,
and with nothing but small stick which
he carried he attacked the snakes. At
ter 20 minutes of hard fighting he sue
ceeded in getting down to the track after
killing AZ of the snakes, the largest of
which measured seven feet four inches.

John NJ. Coyne, in the Scranton
Diocesan Record, gives to the memory of
Ario Pardee all it deserves in the follow
ing: Ario Pardee, the millionaire coal
operator, was buried in Hazleton the last
day of March. On the day following
there was nothing to indicate that such
an important person had died at all.
There were no signs of mourning visible
and men in conversation with each other
seemed to ignore the fact of the death of
the man who made millions of dollars
among them but gave nothing toward
the endowment of educational or char
table institutions, which might in any
way benefit the poor people, who toiled
and labored that his boards might be
increased. Acting under strange i'm
pulse, one time, he gave to the Lafayette
University, at Easton, $500,000 His
name, through this, may be memoralized
for time but it will be only the dry skel-
eton of a name that might be made
bright and lasting had he given half the
amount to those who needed 1.-THE poor
wage-workers who had the greatest
claim upon his sympathy, and who may
never see the outside walls of Pardee
Hall, even. Ario Pardee was kindly,
courteous and familiar with his slaves;
but he was, nevertheless, avaricious and
graSplng.

Hazleton and Hazletonians have be-
come so notoriously slow that the atmos-
phere of the town has Rip Van Wrinkle
effect upon visitors to the so-called
"city," and in order to rescue the
thousands of fremen who were to have
paraded there next fall from such a
sleepy fate meeting of the executive
board of the State Association has been
called to convene at Harrisburg to-mor-
row. The objections against going to
Hazleton are in from all sections of the

Fosters Financial Affairs.

Foster auditors began work upon the
accounts of the township officials on
March IA, and although they have labor
ed steadily since their work is not yet
completed. On account of one of the
auditors, Frank Dever, being a school
teacher, they discontinued the day work,
and meet only in the evenings. The
expense incurred in Strengthening out
the financial affairs of the township will
be greater than ever, and many of the
taxpayers and citizens of the Points,
South Heberton and Birvanton would be
only glad of the opportunity to break
away from Foster and bring these places
