A Testimonial From Rev. Father Bray

Testimonial From Rev. Father Bray.
 T take great pleasure in recommend ing to the notice of all lovers of sweet sounds the Emerson upright piano, one of which have purchased for my own use at Loomis' Temple of Music. The quality of it's tones and the excellent and perfect mechanism of the instru- ments are unsurpassed. It would be a most delightful acquisition to any fam ily. The sweetness, fullness and soft ness Of it's tones are enough to banish sorrow, and infuse feeling of joy and happiness. Rev. Father B. W.

SUNDAY CLOSING.
An Effort to BE Made to Limit Business
On the Sabbath.

1t is understood that an organized eff
fort in behalf of Sabbath observance
will be made in Wilkes-Barre. Here,
as in other cities and towns, certain
classes of business are conducted on
Sundays as on other days of the week.
The drug stores, ciga= stores and con-
dictionaries are the principal places
that remain open seven days a week.
Other places of business Dire, as a rule,
closed on the Sabbath. 1t is said that
a larger proportion of the saloons are
really closed in WillIes-Barre on SUM-
days than in any other city of equal
size in the state. How true this is the
writer does not know. Rev. Mr.. Dony,
who created such a stir in Scranton q
year ago, preached on Sunday observ-
ance in the Fr0nklin Street Methodist
Episcopal church yesterday morning,
and it is understood he will direct the
m ovement for Sunday observance here.
A canvass has already been made of
the drug stores, and 1t is said all but
two agreed to limit their Sunday busi-
ness to the compounding of prescrip-
tions and the sale of medicines. The
soda water fountain will probably prove
to be the stumbling block here as it did
in Scranton in the memorable crusade
last year. The Law and Order society
now being organized by such men as
John Willis IIollenback, William L.
. Conyngham, Morgan b. Williams, G. S.
Bennett, Charles A. Miner, George p.
Loomis, J. b. Woodward and Others,
will encourage and assist in the proper
enforcement of the laws, but Mr.. Dony
will depend more largely on the aid Of
the pastors of the several churches.

THE WATER QUESTION.
A Long Suffering but Very Patient Com
rnunity Still Patient.

For years the people of Wilkes-Barre
had a standing complaint against the
companies supplying the city with
company secured possession of the
great reservoir at Huntsville it was
confidently and hopefully predicted
that the water problem had been solved
and that thenceforth the city would
have an abundant supply of excellent
water. The supply has been abundant,
undoubtedly, but the quality is vile.
The water has been analyzed repeated
ly and found to contain nothing that is
injurious to health, but 1t smells bad
and tastes worse. The company has
for several months been engaged in the
construction of filters, but they are
not yet completed, and will not be be-
fore July. The filters are said to be
the best that can be constructed and
will thoroughly purify the water, but
unless they also improve the smell and
taste of the fluid the complaints will
continue. The Water company has eX-
pended vast amount of money in its
endeavor to supply this city, but it has
not succeeded in giving the people good,
palatable water. Hundreds of citizens
purchase their drinking water from
wagons, and lively trade is carried
on in water brought here from Glen
Summit and spings elsewhere. Those
who cannot afford this luxury are COM
PEELED to use the vile water that comes
through the Water company's pipes.

AS TO QUAY COUNTY.
Some Townships That Should Not Do In.
cludcd in the New One.

cludcd in the New One.
The people in the Hazleton region
had some justification for wanting q
new county. They are not conveniently
located to do business at the old coun-
ty seat. A visit from Hazleton to
Wilkes-Barre involves the travelling of
about a hundred miles and four hours
in the cars. Now when the managers
run the lines of the proposed new coun-
ty they should be mindful that they do
not inflict upon the people of other
sections the same inconvenience of
which they have so long complained
themselves. 1t is understood that they
contemplate taking into the new coun-
ty the townships of Salem, Union and
portions of Newport and Conyngham.
1t cannot be denied that the people
of these townships are located much
more conveniently to Wilkes Barre
than to Hazleton, and doubtless nine
tenths of them do not want q change.
1t Is apparently not necessary to come
so far up the river to secure the nec-
essary 400 square miles. A few more
townships might better be taken from
Schuylkill, If necessary. Schuylkill
has nearly as much territory as Lu-
zerne and could easily give up say $50
of its $40 square miles.
