The Story of a Town.


A municipal debt contracted
wisely for permanentimprovements,
is not always the worst thing that
can happen town if it has ordi-
nary resources. At least that has
not been the experience of Williams
port. The story of the debt burS
dened village, growing in a few
years into the splendid city, is told
as follows by the Bradford Era:
Some twenty years ago Williams
port gained the unenviable motor
iety of having the most burdensome
municipal debt in proportion to its
population of any town in the State.
and possibly in the country. 1t was
astounding and upon the shoulders
of Peter Herdic, who had manipu-
lated Williamsport city affairs
anathemas were heaped. Williams
port then a lumber town strictly
a town of one string. Herdic was
an enthusiast, and he succeeded in
getting Willamsport to provide it.

streets, and all sorts of things that
go to make modern city.
When the time came to take stock
of themselves and see where they
were at the debt appalled, them.
They foretold the downfall of every-
thing and universal bankruptcy.
Peter Herdic failed and dragged
other men with him. Then Will
Transport groaned again. Peter
Herdic died, and men still said
mean things Of him.
Now 1t so happened that Will
Transport had grown to be wonder
fully pretty. The nice streets and
modern conveniences that Herdic's
folly had built attracted attention.
Capital came that way. At the
present the city does a manufactur-
ing business of almost thirteen mil
lions of dollars a year, and less than
onn-forrth ~ ~ A. '.-.s-. 'as.s
uct. Wllllamsport is such a deslr-
able place to live in that it has
grown to be a large place compared
with what Mr.. lIerdlc knew. It's
population increased forty-three per
cent. from 1880 to 1890. The debt
now does not scare anybody, and
some folks who cursed Peter Herdic
in 1913 are preparing to laud and
glorify hls memory now. ole

now.
And this is the story.
Had Wllliamsport been without
man to hustle it, 1T would still be
like Lock Haven or Renoya. It
was the nerve Of Peter lIcrdic that
put the place on its feet to-day. 1t

SAM JONES DAY.
A Large Crowd Greets the Great
Georgia Lecturer at Mt. Lake Park.

Large STOWu ATeetS CTl9 0F9dt
Georgia Lecturer at Mt. Lake Park.
Thursday was known as Sam
Jones day at Mountain Lake Park.
The management of the Park and
the Baltimore and OHIO railroad
had extensively advertised the in
formation that Sam p. Jones, of
Georgia, would deliver several lec-
lures at the Park on the 18th. This,
together with the fact that Sam
does not get around in this neigh
borhood very often, and the further
fact that he has national reputa-
ton as preacher and lecturer, at
tracted very large crowd of peo-
pie to assemble at the charming
mountain resort.
At the Park in the forenoon the
Smith sisters, known as the Ariel
Sextette, gave a fine concert, con-
sistlng of vocal and instrumental
pieces, which were handled with
masterly skill to the qualification Of
the large audience present, but the
special feature of the day was Sam
Jones lecture to be delivered at
$50 p. m. About | O'Clock the
seats began to fill. and by 1.30
nearly all seats were taken, and at
:, the auditorium, said to seat one
thousand five hundred, was packed.
The subject of Mr.. Jones lecture
was sect There" but as he stated
at the outset not of the ELI kind,
as he WIS opposed to slang.
We cannot undertake to give the
lecture in full, but will say that it
was in matter, style of delivery and
as a humorous treat was certainly a
rare one.
Sam Jones kept the audience in
constant litter, or a roar of laugh
Ter for about one hour and half.
The preachers laughed, the grave
old dcacons laughed, old men and
young men, old ladies and young
ladies, and little children laughed.
And to use a tigurative expression,
it would make a dog laugh. If
laughing makes good digestion,
then the Mountain Lake Park dim
ners and lunches Thursday must
have been most thoroughly digested.
Sam censured Christian people,
from preacher down to the lowest,
in an unstinted manner, because of
Their human weakness, but he did
it in such a good-natured way, and
nailed his arguments with SO many
good may be done by making peo-
pie think more about their ques-
tionable acts, and thereby try to
mend their ways.
1t may be gratifying to those
whom Mr.. Jones handled without
gloves to know that Mr.. Jones lives
in glass house himself, that is
while he was berating humanity in
general and christians in particular
because Of their greed for money
and the influence Of money he is
evidently influenced by the same
power himself, us it is currently re
ported that Mr.. Jones does not lee
turc or hold meetings without re-
ceiying big money for his services.
Mr. Jones shows rare abilities as Il
lecturer and his visit to Mt. Lake
Park Thursday can be put down as
grand success, and Sam got there
sure enough.

neighbor Dana's omnivorous ONCE cat. In
a tustiiable assault on Mr.. Roosevelt
Roosevelt, and another assault on the
President-as to the justifiability Of which
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Dana may argue
among themselves-the Sun honors Mr.
Henry White, the ex-secretary to the
American embassy at London, by referring
to him as "a particularly experienced Office
holder in American diplomacy" who had
been removed in order that his place and
its agreeable honors might be conferred
upon Mr.. Roosevelt" In another para
graph our dissatisfied contemporary insists
that Mr.. White has certainly had a long
enough term Of Office and that his re-

Brooklyn's decent citizens are engaged in
a desperate struggle with a municipal
ring the like Of which has not afflicted
any city-always excepting New York-for
many years. Corruption has been manifest
in the dealings of the city council and the
city officials throughout the whole Of Mayor
Boody's term. Law and equity have alike
been disregarded when the principles of
either promised to interfere with the plans
of those who believe that active participa-
ton in practical politics should be the chief
end Of man. The ring" having registered
every venal creature within its reach, Is
now devoting its attention to seeing that
the thousands of criminals and loafers 1t
has colonized shall not be interfered with.
There Is chief Of police In Brooklyn and,
being sane being, he is undoubtedly aware
of what is going on. but he will not move a
foot to assert the dignity Of law because
he has not received ORDERS to do so; and
as any orders on that subject could come
only from the boss himself-Hugh Nc
Laughlin-int Is the least probable
thing that could be easily imagined. Or
dinarily the police do not wait for orders
when they see an offense being committed
but in Brooklyn they do. II seems, Just
what the ring wants them to do. WASH
ingtonians should be grateful that such a
state of Misunderstanding to a greater or
less extent in every city where votes are
purchasable-cannot be duplicated here.
