The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1892-06-30


that the Commissioners will hear a most
vigorous and healthy kick" Another
paper blurts out, "Pottsville should see
that that Commissioner is bounced. Over
s., 600 600 increase in the assessment of
Pottsville, because it is Republican town,
will be resisted by all classes of property
holders"
The tables are turned and our people
may now smile at the Pottsville dukes
while they are tossing about in the sea of
anger. Some time ago when the HERALD
made vigorous protest against the pro-
posed increased assessment, and when the
citizens of this town met and gave County
Solicitor Minogue the rszzle-dazzle the
county seat papers could not control their
merriment over what they thought was a
ridiculous struggle against the majesty of
the law. Shenandoah acted in time and
tried to deter the Commissioners from
taking the action the county seat now COM
plain of and not town in the county
stood by her. Had some OF the other
efforts to convince the Commissioners of
the unreasonableness Of their intended
action might have succeeded The Potts
vile people had their laugh. Now Shen-
andoah, reeonciled to her fate under the
assessment-sn increase of over 81 ,0O0.O 900
smiles vocferously over the kicking
going on at the county seat

Yesterday was babies day on the electric
railway. A number of ladies, charmed
by the delightful weather of the afternoon,
concluded to charter an open car Of the
road and give the babies ride to Girard-
vile and back. The novel idea is said to
have originated in the brain of Mrs. Mary
A. Parrot, of North Jardin street. At
$3.50 sixteen mothers with infants on their
arms met at the corner of Main and Centre
streets, where an open car was in waiting
Screaming, laughing, fat, thin, jolly,
tricky and funny babies we're on hand and
congratulated each other upon the thought
fulness of Mrs. Parrot. While the car
was being arranged for their reception one
| .
the drug store asked, MON, have yer got
der bottle slong2 You know us kids can't
go out on racket of dis kind widout one."
His mother assured him that she had made
all preparations. Say, mom," exclaimed
another babe, "hsve yer got any cigarettes
slong?7 This brought forth reproof from
the mother, but the two-year-old only re-
torted, IF l am TO be dude must have
them" At this moment baby girl put in
her six. x.pence and asked her mother how
her bangs looked and the little fellow who
wanted to be dude shouted, 20, you're a
daisy"

The ride to Girardville and back was q
delightful one and the mothers and babies
seem greatly refreshed by it. There we're
no incidents of moment during the trip
OF course, some Of the babies tried to
punch their fingers into the eyes of Others
some got their fingers tangled in the hair of
their neighbors, and occasionally a little
girl had her finger bitten by putting it in
the mouth Of little boy beside her to see
how many teeth he had, but such matters
are considered triaes by mothers and no
reports were made to the police.

people, they selected Shenandoah. Messts.
