THE CHRISTENING
SUIT WITHDRAWN.
BOTH PARTIES REPRESENTED
BY ATTORNEYS.
MEETING OF BOROUGH COUNCIL
Street Echoes of the Election
Contests in the Second and
Fifth Wards Talked Of-The
School Building.

The suit of Daniel Jones against Rev.
Floyd E. West, rector of the Protestant
Episcopal church, was brought up again
before Squire Walker last night Rev.
West was represented by s. G. NJ. Hollo-
peter, Esq, and j. II. Pomeroy, Esq, ap
peared for NJ. Jones.
Mr.. Hollopeter raised the point that the
case was not actionable as criminal pro-
ceeding, as there is no Act of Assembly
that makes the christening of child
against the wishes of the father crime.
Mr.. Pomeroy agreed with that version
and stated that had he knowledge of the
proceeding in the first place he would have
advised against it. He asked that the
squire dismiss the case and said his client
could seek remedy in civil suit The
case was thus disposed of.

WILL THERE BE CONTESTS ?
Reports Concerning the Second
and Fifth Wards.

Reports of contests which have been
smoldering since the borough election of
Tuesday last seem to be breaking into
flame. The report that the election in the
Fifth ward will be contested on the ground
of illegal voting is confirmed by residents
of the ward, among them several German
Democrats.
In the Second ward there is a report to
the effect that there will be a protest
against Councilman -elect Stout taking his
seat. A specific charge of illegality of
considerable weight is made. 1t is said
that at about II a. m. on election day
| George Folmer, Sr., presented himself at
the Second ward poll and said as he handed
in his ticket, "Russel Stout" The
vote was recorded as being cast
by Russel Stout and was numbered "54" "
At 6 clock in the evening Russell Stout
presented his vote, but it was rejected on
the ground that he had voted in the morn
ing. Mr.. Stout denied this, but the clerks
and other members of the board sustained
the Judge of Election in the statement that
Russell Stout cast ballot No. 54 in the
morning. Parties who we're at the poll in
the morning summoned Mr.. Folmer, who
stated that he voted under the name o.
Russell Stout by mistake, having the nams
of the candidate in mind when he voted
Mr.. Stouts vote was then taken and re.
corded.
1t is contended that, although the matter
was clearly mistake, Mr.. Stout's election
is invslidsted for at least two reasons q,
that if Mr.. Stouts vote could be taken al
all it should have been under oath, and moi
upon the mere statements of Messrs. Fol.
mer and StoSt; (2) that the alteration Of
the election records-the changing of vote
81 from the name Of Russell Stout to
George Folmer-was in itself an invali.
dating act.
The reports of these contests are creating
considerable uneasiness among the friends
Of those who would be affected by them in
case they should be sustained.

An Appeal for the Band.

To the members of the Board of Control
and Grant Cornet Band
GENTLEMEN "A business man of town,
owing TO some petty spite, or jealous
inspiration, is endeavoring, by misrepre-
sentation, to poison the minds of a charita-
BILE public sgainst contributing towards the
fair now being held in Robbins opera
house for the benefit of the band. While
l and, probably, others may have expressed
objections to the band for not giving us
more street entertainments for the money
we have been and will continue TO contri-
butte to their support, take this means of
publicly acquainting you of the under
hand method adopted by this man to
cripple an institution which, while it may
not be necessity, is q source of unbounded
pride to lovers of home organizations,
to know that their favorites are the
peers of any in the state. The Grant
Band of Shenandoah, as everybody is
aware, is composed of "boys" who earn
their livelihood by the sweat of their
brow, digging coal in the mines; and its
mem bership are representatives of almost
every nationality in the town, who, by
hard work and comparatively little aid
excepting the past year) built reputation
for themselves as musicians second to none
in the state, as they are rapidly ascending
the ladder of fame, which fact is evidenced
by long smouldering of jealousy now
ignited into fame of hatred in the breasts
of rival musical organizations, not alone in
this county, but throughout the interior of
the state. Shall we, as lovers of good
music and home organizations-a patriotic
public-allow the Grant Band to be abused
by prejudioed and ungrateful persons
Shall we stand Idly by and see our friends
abused, and not raise hand in their de-
fense? Emphaticslly, mol And now
would suggest that you call meeting
of the Board of Control, band, and their
friends, and protest against and condemn
the actions of this prejudiced and under
handed individual who is stopping at moth
ing to injure the band and draw up reso-
lutions to that effect; and appeal to the
public for the protection ofan organization
that has endesred itself to almost every
man, woman and child in Shenandoah.
Hoping your fair is a success, am
A GooD FRIEND OF THE BAND.

THE School Board is now under
Democratic control by majority of
one and the prospects are the Board
will remain under Democratic admin
istration for some time TO come. The
chances for that majority being in
creased by at least two are exceedingly
bright. Bachman's term expires next
year and the Democrats of the Fifth
ward declare that no Republican
School Director will be elected in that
ward again. This declaration is
backed by an overwhelming Demo
cratic majority. Gable, the Fourth
ward member, is serving the last year
of his term. That ward has elected
Democratic members to the Board the
past two years. For this situation ol
affairs the Republican party is indebt'
ed to the weak-kneed people who have
remained away from the polls, lest the
exercise of their right of suffrage
might ipjure the chances Of their rela'
tives holding positions as school
teachers. FOrtes fortuna ,jatUdt.

THE vote polled on Tuesday by
Frank Q. Reese, who was a candidate
for Borough Auditor, was highly com.
plimentary to that young man. He
ran considerably ahead of his ticket
and made neck and neck fight. Mr..

man, and has friends who are legion.
Congratulations are in order, notwith-

THE victory scored by School Direc-
tor Davenport in the Third ward on
Tuesday was a brilliant one. His
opponent was strong man and the
fight was an uphill one. "Bobn has
proved, for the third time, that he is
popular with the people of his ward,
who are evidently well satisfied with
his service in the interest of the pub
lie schools.

THE DEAL, The HERALD has
THE sHUFFLB, repeatedly warn
and ed its readers to
THE OUT. beware of the
4s...,nl,, rrnllinn

THE CUT. beware OF tne
men who are continually yelling
"Stop thief "
At no time has this Injunction been
more appropriate than at the present.
Some time before the election GER
tain office seekers in this borough laid
great stress upon the necessity of hav-
ing the people vindicate them. At
that time the HEBALD sounded the
warning to beware of the "stop
thief!" cries. The warning Is sound
ed again, as surprising events, the
shadows of which were cast before the
election, are gradually drawing to a
focus.
The boast made before the election
that certain Republican members of
the Borough Council would have no
use for certain Republican member
in the formation of the new Council,
was well bolstered up. The boast was
well backed by gigantic deal, a deal
that accounts for the defeat Of the Re-
publican candidate for nomination for
Council in the Second ward, the Re-
publican candidate for School Board
in the same waId, the Republican can
didate for School Board in the Fourth
ward, and the Republican candidate
for Chief Burgess.
To consummate this deal but one
more man is needed and he must be a
Demo erat.
The surprising feature of the busi-
Eess Is that some of the would-be
M'Leods interested in it are men who
so vehemently denounced Councilmen
Gable and Portz for cooperating with
the Democrats in the organization Of
Council last year.
The only conclusion to be reached is
that some Of our holier-than-thou Re
publican friends have at last been con-
erted to the belief that everything is
,ir in politics and that they have the
right to presume the people of the
town have given them carte. blanche
to do anything they may deem proper
to "down the gang"

MIL nry Men of Fiction,

Armies in fiction are much moro
interesting ard consistent than they
are in reality, the Listener thinks.
In the first place, officers of the Same
grade always have the same general
characteristics, so that one can see at
a glance the part they are destined
to play in drama or story. Here,
for instance, is your general of fiction.
He is always very grand; hasn't very
much to say, and generally wears
mustache and white sde-whiskerS.
He Is not, however, 20 strongly indi-
yidualized as your colonel. A colonel
in story-is always very tall,
spare, elderly, and generally stiff in
the knee-joints. Sometimes he is i'll,
naturcd, but is capable Of great mag.
nanimity and generosity. Always
bestows his blessing on young people
at the right place-and is frequent
" imposed upon by them. He inya.
riably has resources outside of his
pay, and is Leyer dissipated. Your
major of fiction, on the other hand
there are no lieutenant colonies in
noyels-is bad egg in harmless
way. He is much given to the flow
ing bowl, and always has a forid
eountcnance as a result. lie is short
of stature, and given to strutting. Is
a terrible talker, brags a good deal,
and says "Egad" on all occasions.
He fights, but in a comic way: he
sneers at civilians, and is always in
need of money. Captains are of two
sorts, in novels. One sort is the
somewhat elderly captain. who does
not get on very well in the service.
He is always bluff, generally good
looking and frequently dissatisfied
with things. He is of medium stat
ure. The other kind Of captain is a
dashing young fellow, a sort of glori-
fed lieutenant. The rank of lieut.
tenant is the most important in fic-
ton Economically, heroically, the
lieutenant outranks the field mar
shall. In point of physical beauty he
Gurpasses all the rest of the army. In
battle, the duty of 'leading charges"
falls upon him in special way. He
is generally poor, but always wears
good clothes, of course. In horse
manship and magnanimity he cxcels
all other grades in the service. Wom-
en- seldom fall in love with any officer
but lieutenant, though the major is
the prey of designing widows AS
for the non-commissioned officers,
there are great differences between
sergeants and corporals. Sergeants
are H. ,-witted and solemn and cor
porals efficient and witty. Armies
could not get along at all without
corporals One gets the impression
that they rather run things, and that
commissioned officers are merely for
social purposes and for leading
charges Thus the army in novel
and DRAMA pretty picture on the
whole.
