OBE,s OBSERVATIONS.



What He Sees aud Hears During His
Travels.
"Nawkshemaush, John" said / to a man
who was working in a sewer trench in one Of
the streets Of town the other day This, it
should be explained, is the Cheswickiau ex-
preston for the American "IGowd'y"
"Dobreyawktshemoush,' replied the man.
"Any Poles working here?' / asked.
"Me no Polishman," said John, as he let
something escape between his teeth which is
unfit for publication. "Hevera man work
here Oestriche- Hoongara man. Dis koom-
pana a Oestriche Hoongara koompana."
One Of the Chicago papers has this: "sano
Agippa, an Arabian merchant of IIazleton,
Pa, found his fugitive wife in the Midway
Plaisance. The circumstances are interest
ing. The merchant heard the sounds Of
Arab music and went into the Show He
saw his wife doing the undulatng Oriental
dance which is i'm such great request She
was advertised as La Belle Shcridida The
merchant lost no time in trying to regain
possession Of his wife and the Columbian
guards were called i'm to quiet the dispute
which arose. Man and woman were arrested
but subsequently, discharged by q magis-
trate, the woman being ordered to go with
her husband. She left him two years ago to
follow the fortunes of am itincrant Algerian

The ougiuemeu of the Pennsylvania Rail
road have had their attention called to the
fact that too much coal is being consumed
in the engines, aud they have been requested
to be more careful about the waste Of steam
and having strong fires coming in ON the end
of a trip. This order gives an idea of the
detail Of the work of big corporation
The quantity of coal necessary to run an ell
gino is known to the pound and to the ex-
pense of every pound of steam is calculated.

The threatened taxation of the electric
poles and wires in town provokes frequent
comment. One gentleman suggested last
evening that a tax on the birds who rest ON
the wires and people who lean against the
poles would make good source of revenue
| for the borough. A man who heard this re-
marked "Shuro it's enough weer taxed al
ready and it's against the poles we must lean
/ to bear up under the weight"
Six months ago skilled mechanic left
Sl2 a week position i'm town because he was
not satisfied with the wages which were,
perhaps, none too good at that time He
applied for his Old position week ago, and
was gratifed at being able to secure it-at s.
a week. He will not vote for the Democratic
ticket next month. He has had a change
and does not like the taste of it,.

have often tried to fix in my mind how
it is that the deaf and dumb organ grinders
and other beggars always happen to strike
| this town on pay day. They keep better
track of them than many men blessed with
all their senses.

A man swora like trooper yesterday
| afternoon because q uorth-bouud electric car
did not stop for him at the lower crossing,
and the conductor enjoyed the outburst of
anger immensely because the same man had
lectured to half a dozen passengers ON a trip
earlier IN the day ON the amount of time
that can be saved by having a system for
stoppages along the line.
A number Of people have said that if the
School Board should designate a day for
Ipublic inspection of the new school building
on West street they would take advantage of
it, This has already been suggested to the
school authorities and they say such a day
will be fixed in the near future.

The whims Of some women are fully as
queer as Bret Hartes famous Chinaman.
The other morning woman hurriedly
scrambled up the steps of car at the Lehigh
Valley depot with pug dog held close to her
bosom and left her toddGng daughter to be
assisted upon the car by brakeman. And
yet we hear of people complaining Of the
life of a dog OEE.
Thousands walk the earth to day who
