One is Needed.

The press and people of this county
are clamoring for revival of the Con
trollership of which they weresdeprived
by the Act est ablishing the office being
declared illegal One paper very wisely
and truly says if the county had a Con-
troller years ago there would not
now be a stirring up OF filth and mire
that is the result of Investigations.
For the few months during which
Mr.. B. r. Severn acted as Controller
the county affairs were conducted in a
manner that bespoke an era of general
reform and good government. People
of all political factions regretted that
there was a flaw in the Act that created
the Controllership, and they hope to day
that the Legislature will restore this
Office. In such an event it would be but
an act of justice to install Mr.. Severn as
the Controller, for the first term at least
He is still n political life and would no
doubt be glad to carry out the excellent
system he inauRurated when elected as
Controller by an overwhelming majority
in 1893. BY all means give us Con-
troler.

We are informed that new wrinkle
has been introduced with coffee drinking.
The formula runs thusly: Before you
put your square of sugar in the cup rub
it briskly on the outside of lemon, Get
the six sides of the lump in contact with
the lemon peel When it dissolves in
your coffee (the sugar, not the lemon) you
will find that an almost imperceptible
fragrance fingers about the liquid that
will carry you into land of flowers and
fruit and perpetual sunshine" The word
fragrance is very tempting and the orig
inal article is no doubt very good, but
just at this time the six sides of the
lump" are very acceptable without the
lemon in the coal region. There are hun
dreds of families who would most cheer
fully foregs the pleasure of the wrinkle
in return for a supply of the raw material

Mrs. Edward T. Westervelt, who died
at Hazleton on Sunday, last, appears to
have had strong presentiment of death.
Mr. J. j. Kelly, of town, who is her hus.
bands uncle, called on her at Hazleton
last Tuesday. The lady was then suffer
ing from what appeared TO be a slight
cold, but she said to Mr. Kelly, "Uncle, /
will not live long" Mr.. Kelly advised
her to see a physician, and Mrs. Wester
velt did so. The physician said the
case was one of slight cold and
danger could be averted by proper
care, but pneumonia Immediately de-
veloped in acute form On Thursday
Mrs Westervelt requested that her rela-
tives be notified. She felt convinced that
death was at hand and in no way could
her mind be diverted IRON the belief.
Her death, as already stated, occurred on
Sunday, five days after the presentiment
when she appeared to be healthy and
strong enough TO battle with the strongest
of diseases.

come. But, OH, Charles, you do not
know yet what 1 have to tell you. 1t
belongs to us now; it is ours"
What is ours?" he asked in amaze
ment.
"What-you say
.Yes, see, here are the bank notes you
sent me! Two Thousand seven hundred
francs! And here is some more l earned
myself, putting 450 francs out of anoth-
er pocket
You know" she explained, II did not
stay in the hotel because l felt just as i'll
there as did in Paris. So got work as
a governess in an English family. Not
only have I not spent our three arms of
the mill, but have saved a large por-
ton of the fourth.
But had to leave because I was too
i'll. Anyhow, here are $3.50 francs With
the 1000 you have we can buy our mill
at once. Kiss me, dear, again-and
again"
And Claire tainted away.
Poor girl, you have killed yourself"
said Charles, taking her in his arms to
a carriage. They went to druggist and
Claire came back to consciousness. She
was able with great difficulty to stand
upright.
Thus far she had deceived herself, but
now that her dream was about to be
realized, and she was with her husband
again, SHE knew and recognized the
gravity of her position. She knew that
she was going to die.
They carried her into a hotel and put
her to bed, and sent for q doctor. All
they could do for her, however, was USE
less.
She grew daily weaker and weaker.
One evening, feeling her life slipping
AWAY from her, she took her husbands s
face in her hands, which were already
growing cold. '"
"Adieu, Charles" she murmured; do
not cry. shall die just the same. You
know, it Is impossible to cure consump-
tion. Do not cry.
DO you see the mountains yonder?
How beautiful they are tonight Take
me nearer to the window so that l can
see the snow and the great precipices
and the forests and waterfalls.
Charles" she added, in a voice that
grew feebler every second II must be
buried in this beautiful country; in the
shadow of those mountains. And you
you must buy the mill her voice al
most failed her "and live there al
ways; and in the evenings you must
gaze on the great mountains and think
think Of me; won't you, Charles?"
So Claire died, and in the far distance
the lights of the sunset touched the big
shoulders of the Pyrenees and shone on
their slopes of everlasting snow.-From
the French.

Saturday Reflections.

The business of newspaper is neither
more nor less than to print and sell the
news. This Is all that 1t bargains to do
1t Is all that the public has any right to
expect of IT.. 1t Is quite as much as 1t can
do, properly; although the generosity of
publishers may superadd certain things
to this fundamental commodity, such as
general reading and opinion. The news
of newspaper may be good or i'll, but in
either case it Is its commodity; 1t is what
it buys and sells, hoping to make a profit
In the transaction. The man who asks
the newspaper to step aside from it's news
selling to help along his cause, or a cause
I'm which he is interested, asks this. If he
know the circumstances, not as a right, to
be exacted without ever "by your leave"
but as a favor. All aid extended by news
papers to charity is in the nature of
donation, a favor n something over and
above and apart from the fundamental
mission Of the newspaper which Is, as
Charles A. Dana once said "to buy
white paper at cents pound and sell IT
at ten"
The newspapers of Scranton, apart from
individual donations Of their owners, con-
tributed to the Kirmess probably not less
than 81. 200 altogether in the form of free"
advertising. For contributing something
like $500 to the Kirmess, each paper, un-
dersand, got two 75-cent tickets per night,
or 80 worth for the week. and 1t Is said
that these were begrudged upon the the
ory that the newspapers were trying, as
one lady expressed 1t, to "bleed" the man
ugement. This disparity between service
rendered and Acknowledgement received
is not a point that / care anything about
No paper regrets what 1t did, nor would
do less. had It to do 1t over again. The
circumstance merely illustrates how much
the aid Of the newspapers is taken for
granted as u matter Of course, and how
little, as a rule. that aid Is valued at Its
exact worth in dollars and cents.
One occasionally meets a man who is of
the opinion that all taxation should he

Now and then the reputable newspa-
per worker encounters persons who have
such radically wrong conceptions of the
and who are led by these misconceptions
into such entirely incorrect conclusions,
that 1t becomes almost necessary to try
to rectify these errors. Perhaps the most
annoying single delusOn prevalent in this
community is one which airily assumes
that the newspaper Is primarily phil
lanthropic enterprise, conducted for the
general good and therefore in duty bound
to give valuable space upon every occa-
sion to any enterprise which masks itself
behind the guise of charity. The ninety
and nine times in which newspapers re-
spond to these demands are passed ovcr
with scant If any gratitude; but woe be-
tide the luckless publisher who once fall
ters or forgets this kind of sight draft
upon his generosity.
Most publishers, am glad to say, do not
begrudge any reasonable contribution of
space or energy to worthy cause, albeit
that space means money to him Just as
certainly as. and in precisely the same
manner that. shoes mean money to the
shoe dealer or hats to the halter, or bread
to the baker. But. operating a business
Just as the merchant or the banker or the
broker operates one, he naturally feels
II he Is not, in the course of his business
toughened against feeling Of any kind-he
nevertheless feels, say. that he ought to
get the same credit for donation to
charity that is freely accorded to the shoe
dealer who gives shoes or the baker who
gives bread. He does not like, any more
than the shoe dealer or the baker likes, to

PARKHURST'S CENTER SHOTS.
From His Chicago Address.

II
The sense of personal responsibility for
the quality and trend of the municipality
one may happen to belong to should be
counted the axis of all civic virtue.
You cannot reorganize rot. When NOR
tification has begun to set in, the most
considerate thing that can be done is to
hand the remains over to the offices of
the undertaken.
Our police and yours, l see, are cut from
the same cloth, they are so sorry to have
people do wrong that they are self-sacri-
ficing enough to do all the wrong them
selves so as to save others the bother of
the iniquity.
1t is a long, bitter square fight that
will be the means of giving into your
hands a city that you can generously be
proud Of and if you do not do it, some
body will have to, or your city will go ut
terly to the bad and sway the whole coun-
try along with it.
The whole question that confronts you
just now is a question of righteousness
versus iniquty, honesty versus knavery,
purity versus filth; and if the clergy cam
not come out en- masse and take a direct
hand in the duel, what under heaven is
the use of having clergy, anyway?
You cannot live on the force of a resolu-
tion, but if your machinery is to be kept
running to the end of the trip, level
grade and up grade, you will have to
keep replenishing your fires by solid
chunks of combustibe motive. Enthus-
iasm is good, but it takes a constant sue
cession of motives to keep it up.
We have only begun yet in New York
All the cartoons of dead tigers with which
our illustrated journals have fooled their
bn iyth nf lact ln
are simply the product of an overheated
imagination. And even if the tiger were
killed, there is a whole menagerie of
other beasts which, If more respectable
some of them are just as bloodthristv
and keep their inclsors in just as good
trim.
If you have a mercenary judge or n
blackmailng police officer, displacng him
does not touch the heart of the matter
Bad municipal conditions can put new
corrupt judges on the bench just as fast
as you can impeach the old ones. Lop-
ping off the tops does not embarrass the
roots. There is very little use in doing
anything unless you are prepared to do
the whole. Spasms of virtue / think are
quite as racking to the system as chronic
iniqu!ty.
A live preacher, if he only gets far
enough away from his study and his
Bible to know the world and what is go
ing on in it, cannot watch the footsteps
of the prophet statesmen who swung
the destiny of the people of Israel 5000
years ago without feeling that the in
spiration still vouchsafed to the man OF
God is never designed to be employed eX-
clusively in fitting men to get out of this
world respectfully and to live beautifully
in the world to come.

taxed. Such men, fortunately are scarce;
and the Kirmess may help to explain why.
The Kirmess will net several thousands cf
dollars for the Lactawanna hospital; but
there will also be q large bill of expense.
There Is no reason in logic, why friends of
the hospital should not pay over their
money-whether 5000 or only rs cents-to
the hospital directly, and thus save time
and expense in the collection of that
money. But the real fact is that they will
not do It, 1t isn't human nature. Some
artifice of indirection is needed to WOO
them round to it. They will pay to 60 to a
benefit show when they will not pay IL
there Is no show. To be sure It is utterly
Illogical and ridiculous and all that. But.
my friend. 1t is the nature of the beast,
Direct taxation may be right in theory,
but in practice 1t Is out of the question
Men must be taxed on the sly.

AMONG THE LAWMAKERS.

A proposition to establish state ere
matory for the incineration of human
bodies after death is one of the new fals
that is talked of in the Minnesota leglsia-
ture.
one of the bills before the Wisconsin
legislature requires the railways to give
212-cent passenger rates, and sell 1000 and
1900 milage books, transferable, at .
cents.
A measure has been introduced in the
Michigan legislature which provides
terms of Office of members of the leglsla-
ture from two TO four years, half the mem
bers to be elected every two years. by
this arrangement the legislature would
never have less than one-half its number
of inexperienced members.
1t cost the state of New York $50, 2lS 7i2
to maintain the public schools last year,
and Pennsylvania paid out $lS5S6,75l in
like expenditures. Here are two great
commonwealths. having a combined pop
ulation of ll,255.SG7, eXpendng the enor-
nous sum of S3S ,igS in a single year
in the cause of popular education. 1t is
significant of the trend of the times.
The fish supply In Lake ontario is sub
stantlally exhausted and the supply in
Lake Erie Is going rapidly. Fishermen
have caused the fish famine by selling for
fertlizlng purposes the small fish caught
In the nets with those of eatable size. The
Ohio legislature is trying to devise n law
for fish protection in Lake Erie, and hopes
to receive the cooperation of all ad-
jacent states.
A bill has been prepared for submission
to the New York legislature which will
make a number of radical changes In the
regulation of the LIQUOR traffic. In cities
of the first class that is. in New York,
Brooklyn and Buffalo, saloonkeepers and
hotel bars are taxed $1,000 for a license
for one year. Keepers of restaurants who
serve liquors, wines, beer. etc, only with
meals, are licensed for 1900. incorpora: :el
clubs and associations permitting sales of
strong drink on the premises must also
pay $500 yearly. Drug stores selling liquor
on physicians prescription. not to be
drank on the premises, so. Saloons where
beer and ale only are sold are rated at
800 license fee. There is a provision
which requires Il person desiring to open n
saloon to post a notice on the building in
tended to be occupied, ten days prior to
filing his application for license, and If the
owners or lessees of either of the adjacent
buildings object the license cannot issue.
Another provision limits the number of
saloons in any city or town to not more
than one for each 500 population.

Illinois and outside of Cook county, the

party. and as the State convention Is 10

the preliminary work of the silver men

Ii is admitted by the gold-standard men
xhat the convention will put through a
I6-to-l platform with flying c0lors and
It is said to be the intention Of the rank

the party TO make all the trouble they
can for the Federal ofiice-hoders and
other so-called gold-bugs. IL is UNDER
stood to be the programme mapped out
by Governor Aligeld Secretary Of state
Heinrichsen, and other leaders Of the
Illinois Democracy. who have nothing 10
fear 10 make an open fight on Senator
Palmer and those who represent the
Federal anti-siver element. Numerous
Chicago Democrats, who expect 10 be ap-
pointed to Federal offices. and others
who are controlled by personal interests,
will stay away from the convention, on
account Of the hot weather. The office
holders under Altged intend 10 introduce
a resolution i'm tine convention condemning
the Presidents monetary policy. Eleven
counties. ordinarily controlled by men
holding Government positions, have dell
nitely declared for free coinage.
