BLOOMSBURY, PA. FRIDAY JULY l2 1896

the question of such increase to the
electors of the municipality, is sub
stantially re-enacted by Sec. 3, Of June
9th, 1891, P. L. asa.
1t is plain upon the face of the con.
stitution and these statutes that the
only question to be submitted to the
electors of municipality is the in
crease of the public debt thereof
above the gross or total amount of the
existing debt, and that by express pro-
vision the existing debt will include
any floating debt or obligation of the
municipality as we'll as the bonded
debt. In brief, the question voted
upon must be upon a specific increase
over and above any and every form of
existing pecuniary obligation, less the
amount of money in the treasury, &c,
as above cited. 1t follows that the
submission now made to the electors
OF Bloomsburg is unlawful as we'll as
unfair, by its inclusion of several ques
tlons relating to the present debt along
with the question of increasing that
debt by an electrical light investment,
and requiring a single affirmative or
negative vote upon the whole. The
constitution and the statutes very evil
IDENTITY do not contemplate or author
lze combination of distinct and sep.
arate questions in one vote, SO that an
opinion held by an elector on one
question shall control his vote upon
the whole.
1t is idle to expect that electrical
works to light the streets of Blooms.
burg, spread as the Town is over an
extended surface, can be secured at a
cost OF SEQ, mean works suffi-
cient for their purpose and fitted to
endure. The first investments of the
Town will no doubt be doubled after
ward, as in the case of the Blooms
burg electric light company which be.
gan with plant of $4,000 and has
expended twice that amount in chang
es, renewals and improvements. And
il will be found that the cost of run.
ming the Town plant and works, in.
cluding fuel, skilled and other labor,
oil, waste, with an estimated ten pei
centum annual depreciation Of the
working plant, added to interest upon
the investment will considerably ex
ceed the amount now paid for lighting
the streets of Bloomsbury. Finally
every intelligent person understand:
that it is highly inadvisable to charge
upon Town authorities the manage
ment of water works, gas work, steam
heating works or any like bushes:
employment on behalf of the Towr
whenever it can be reasonably avoid
ed. Local patronage is thereby in
creased, disputes are created and fost
cred thereby, the selection and change
of employees depend upon flucuating
annual elections, and more or less oi
abuse in management may be expect
ed. 1t is found by experience thai
such business is best conducted by
individuals personally interested in the
due and proper management of the
same. x.

one morning of an equipage coming up the
thoroughfare at a trot. 1t bore armorial
devices familiar to everybody.
1t was driven by a coachman recognized
as the servant of Prefect Gourko, who per-
sisted in being wigged in defiance of his
masters orders, to the great merriment of
the other st. Petersburg Jehus; and on
each side rode the regular escort of six
mounted Cossacks, each holding his lance
in rest and wearing his ball of forage slung
over his shoulder, more as if he were cam
paigning on the Don than engaged in
police service in the streets of the capital
General Gourko and his escort-for the
guardian of the peace had easily recog-
niZed and hastily saluted his chief, the
new Prefect of Police-made their way to
the massive Winter Palace. and the general
alighted and rang. To the doorkeeper-
and officer of the bodyguard-he briefly
sta ted the object of his visit; he desired an
immediate conference with the Czar. The
hour was early, but his business brooked
no delay, for it concerned the safety of
Alexander himself.
The janitor was at first inexorable, ex-
postulating that his imperial master had
been in bed only an hour, but at last he
yielded. Up the broad staircase they went
together, pausing in their ascent only
when they had reached landing giving
access to one of the capacious saloons. At
this point General Gourko was instructed
to wait. AT this point, too, the Cars
guardian seems to have repented of his
decision.
Closely scrutinizing the Prefect of Police,
and proceeding in the direction of the En-
peror's sleeping apartments, he did not
arouse the Gar at all. What he did was
to descend to the guardroom and dispatch
a messenger. During his absence the Czar
calmly slept on.
A quarter of an hour later the messenger
returned. He had been sent to General
Gourko's residence, and he brought back
the information that the Prefect of Police
was at that moment in bed. The early
visitor, therefore, was an impostor.
He was something more; for from his
pockets, after he had been seized and
pinioned, was drawn forth six -barreled
revolver and a two-edged hunting knife.
The Cars life had been saved, yet it
had hung for few minutes in the balance.
The made-up Gourko-the Prefect of
Police initiated down to the minutest de-
tails of hair, complexion and wig-might
have deceived even the Car himself.
Not whit less perfect was the art which
had reproduced the Gourko coach and
escort.
Only the sham Prefect was secured,
however; his confederates escaped. Stimuli
taneously with the arrest guards had
rushed from the palace to seize them, but
their equipage had gone. No sign of
them was ever found.
AS for the chief actor in the plot his
personality has never been disclosed. He
is the one mystery which the Nihilists
themselves have never been able to pene-
trate. His secret remains with him, and
he keeps it to the present moment, for he
is st1ii-or was at last accounts-a prisoner

Visiting Cards of Royalty.

Paris has had the monopoly of supplying
the monarchs of the world with visiting
cards ever since they became a social
necessity under the Second Empire.
The use of the Christian name only is a
prerogative which Kings and Emperors
share with servants. The other day a
royalist in Paris showed correspondent a
visiting card inscribed philippe under a
crown. Ten thousand of that sort We're
ordered by the Duke of Orleans before his
fathers body was cold. The candidate
for the throne intended to appeal to his
supporters, or those whom he would like
to win over to the cause of the lily banner,
by posting them his visiting card.
The Emperors of Germany and of Aus
tria on their visiting cards follow German
custom and print Fart of their title. Ac-
cording to fashions dictum their cards
should either read '.Wilhelm" and Franz
Joseph" respectively, or 'Deutscher Kai-
ser" and Kaiser Won Oesterreich."
The Prince of Wales, always most cor
of cards, the one reading Albert Edward, y
the other ''Le Prince de Gales" the
French term being more often used in
royal circles than the other. French being
the universal language of royalty, all
monarchs have their visiting cards for gen.
eral use inscribeds in the Gallo tongue.
Some princes use cards which give their

"The" in front of royal or princely
title denotes that the person is sovereign,
or, at least, the head of his family. In
England it is employed in addressing a
peer. for instance. The Right Honorable. -
Only one Englishman of non-royal rank
makes bold use of the prefix "The" on his
visiting card and this eads, 1.-The Duke

Napoleon's visiting card was two and a
third inches long, and half as broad. The
ex-printer to the Tuileries still has a sam
pie, which be intends to present to the
National Museum. 1t retains up to this
day its white and glossy coat, which was
due to a special tincture of arsenic. These
arsenic ilnpregnated cards, it was thought
at the time, caused good deal of illness

San Francisco CALL has made into popu-
larity under the management of Mr.. Short
ridge that gives us more satisfaction than
the fact that he was country" newspa-
per man. San Francisco's dailies had
grown hidebound and desperately provin-
cial. They could see nothing outside of
San Francisco and had nothing but sneers
office, and what was there dictated was
bought either by straight coin or business
given. The CALL has taught the other
papers a lesson, and we now have hopes
that San Francisco will once more grow

1t is great satisfaction in these days of
degenerate journalism to give credit to
any movement of reform. The morning
CALL of this City has gained ground with
the self-respecting by excluding lottery

largely curtailing detailed reports of sem
sational crime. 1t is also matter for con-
graduation that its popularity increases

Most Confirmed of Mysogynists.

Probably the most confirmed misogynist
who ever lived was wealthy old bachelor
who has just died in Vienna. After his
death a bundle of documents was dis
covered among his belongings labeled :
Attempts made by my family to put me
under the yoke of matrimony." In this
packet were sixty-tw0 letters, the dates
ranging from 1845 to 1898, sufficient
proof of the tenacity of his relatives So
afraid was this strange min of even sitting
near woman, that whenever he went to
the theater he booked three seats, in order
that he might have one on either side of
of him empty. When travelling in rail
way carriage he was always careful to
smoke a large, foul-smelling pipe to keep
away intruders of the female sex. In his
will he said: 81 beg that my executors
will see that 1 am buried where there is
no woman inferred either to the right or
left ofme. Should this not be practicable
in the ordinary course of things, l direct
that they purchase three graves, and bury
me in the middle one of the three, leaving
the two others unoccupied. london
