was pastor Of the Wesley M. p.

good service for the church. He is
about so years of age, a genial Chris

The Press says: State Insur-
ance5 Commissioner Smith has been
i'll for some time at his home in Rich

has prevailed in the twin cities that
his chance Of recovery was almost
hopeless owing to the fact that his
illness was of chronic nature. His
nephew, R. j. Washburn, who has
been in Minneapolis for several days
in attendance upon the Hoo Hoo
convention, brings the pleasing in
telligence, however, that this is not
the case. He states that Commis.
sioner Smith is now able to take a
long walk for exercise every day
when the weather is favorable, and
expects to be back in his Office with

:. M. Pasteur, the French scien-
tist, who has just passed away from
the scenes Of his great triumphs, was
specialist whom the world will not
soon forget or neglect to honor. He
came from the humber walks of life
and became great scholar and pro
found thinker without the aid of a
university training. His whole life
was devoted to search after truth,
and in all that he did he sought to
minimize human suffering. His
method Of inoculation asa preventa-
tive ofthe agonies Of hydrophobia,
gave him his greatest prominence
butit was by no means the sum total
of his work as scientist. He was
one of the most painstaking OF
students, and his achievements in
the field of bacteriology are second
to that of no experimentor of this
generation.

five years. It had population of

gressional district. Following is the

The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1895-07-20

IF all that is said upon the streets re-
garding the recent School Board committee
desk contract is true, there is ample room
for complaint on the part Of the unsuccess-
full bidders, and the protesting School Di-
rectors are justified in insisting that the
whole matter shall be laid before the
School Board. 1t has frequently happened
that false economy has been practiced by
accepting the lowest bids, but in the
present case it is charged that one of the
lowest bidders offered a better article than
the one adopted by the committee and af-
forded all necessary protection to guard
against imposition, but there did not seem
20 be a disposition to have the merits of
all competitors fully weighed. Under
these circumstances it would be far more
satisfactory to the people to have the
School Board consider the matter fully
than to allow the action of the committee
90 unchallenged. More than this, the
committee should court a full consideration
of the matter and relieve itself Of any
suspicion that might be thrown upon its
action by outside discussion. The com
mittee certainly cannot loose anything by
such a course. If the action taken was
based upon good judgment there are GER
tainly men of sufficient intelligence on the
Board to realize it and add their endorse
ment. If the facts are to the contrary, any
mistake that may have been made in the
committee can be easily rectitied and the
committeemen will ave an opportunity to
show that what they did was done in
accordance with their best judgment at
the time, and not by reason of any i'm
proper motive.
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1895-07-20

IRRESPECTIVE of the merits attending
the claims of the other competitors, it can
be truthfully said tina in awarding the
contract for making the public water works
connections to Messrs. Gallagher and
Lamb the Borough Council has placed the
important work in very proper and re-
sponsible hands, and it is seldom hat such
an important step is taken and more gen
eral satisfaction follows among the people.
There is no doubt that the work could have
been entrusted to any Of the gentlemen in
competition with just as much safety and
promise of favorable results, but there
seems to have been an almost universal
opinion among people in the town who
have taken an interest in the public water
works, that should the contract fall into
the hands of Mr.. e. f. Gallagher it would
be only part recognition Of the almost in
valuable service which that gentleman
rendered in the establishment of the works,
especially last year, the closing year of his
term on the Borough Council, when he
performed service without pay that he
could not improve upon if the work had
been his own, The services he rendered on
the public water works last year gratuit
ously is sufficient guarantee that the con
tract just given him with remuneration
attached will be carried out satisfactorily
TO all concerned. Mr., Lamb is also especial,
adapted for the undertaking, in hat he hai
been identified with the water works sine,
their establishment was first agitated, anC
therefore is qualified to judge the characte
of work that should be performed and i
expected by the people under the contract
We therefore say, with all due respect t
the unsuccessful competitors, that the con
tract could not have fallen into bette
hands.
