Capt. A. B. Miller, of Philadelphia, an
old reader of the PRESS, was in town
last week and renewed his subscription.
He is hale and hearty and will never die
as long as he can read the PRESS.
A young colored boy was found wan
dering our streets last Friday and when
Questioned said his home was in West
Philadelphia, but it was found out later
that he belonged in Atlantic City where
he was afterward sent.
The Building Committee appointed by
the County Board of FreehOlders to
Superintend the erection of the new
Insane Asylum have voted to adopt
the plans outlined by Architect Hopes,
and have instructed him to complete
them as soon as possible.
1t is probably fortunate for all con-
cerned that the man killed in conse-
uuence of the neglect of the authorities
to properly take care of him, was, most
likely, without influential friends. Ii
some men had been killed under percisely
the same circumstances, the inquest
would not have stopped the matter.
Undertaken Harley l.. Warner spent a
portion of last week assisting his father
attending the funeral of Francis M.
Pierce one of Clay ton, n. J. glass manu-
sacturers. Being one the largest funerals
~ n attended in Glocester TO much
rw nro, e was given Mr.. Warner in the
p -, Y which be conducted the funeral.

The Atlantic City Review Of Friday
said that at the Coroner.s .odleso upon
the body of the man killed 'euhesuay
evening an effort would be L'auu 10
have the authorities censured for aiio"-
ing such people to run at large. On no!
The Jury WASH selected so carefully i'or
any such purpose as that. Quite the
So ts.
There is no truth in the report that
serious stabbing affray occurred here
during a drunken brawl one evening
last week as stated in the Atlantic City
Review of last Friday. We are not so
as that in Pleasantville. 1t
such an affair occurred, the Review got
the wrong location.
DR.. J. Howard Frick of Pleasantville,
besides being a general practitioner. Is a
specialist in diseases of the eye, and was
for several years connected with the
Jefferson Medical College hospital. All
persons in need of treatment tor Their
ewes or suffering from headaches and
poor vision should consult him. His
charges will be very moderate.
That the man killed in front of
a Reading train was poor, unknown and
insane, should not weigh feather in
excusing the neglect that eventually
caused his death. That is all the more
reason why he should have been taken
care of. Station Agent Reed offered the use
of a freight car to the Borough officers for
the detention of the man until his inden-
tity could be established, until he could
he properly taken care OF, but no atten-
=, u was paid to the offer.
Tho se who tLink the killing OF a
buman ,Neing lis of no consequence"
because he was only tramp or crazy
m do well to ask themselves
if that kind O. Philosophy would ap-
nlv if the victim had been a
member of their own family. Prov
erty is no disgrace, and the loss of
reason the greatest of ;nisfortunes. The
latter, alone should be eIough to evoke
a humane and merciful consideration
from those who are elected and
paid to protect the public from annoy
ance and danger.
Pleasantville is to have a brass band.
The boys met last week to perfect their
plans and take preliminary steps to
''raise the wind" We hope to see a

to have two wagons and a stand on

ments, and earnestly solicit a hearty
patronage from all. The following
