Andrew compose the committee. The
tax levy for the coming year was also
briefly considered and the statement
was made that another building may
be necessary 10 accommodate the large
number of children that may be obliged
to attend school IL the SFarr bill Is
operative. The directors were Of the
opinion that the matter should be seri-
ously considered before the rate OF
taxation IL fixed and action was de-
ferrcd until next Monday evening,
when the board will meet again.
There had been great deal of specu-
!ation as to who would be the officers
of the school board for the year just
beginning and many "slates" were
fixed and broken during the past week.
The result was In the nature of COM
promise. Mr., Barrett professed sur
prise over his election and said that the
presidency was not sought by him. He
said he would try, to do his duties
faithfully and impartlally. The
borough council held a very busi-
ing. All the members except Mr.
Lane were present and President Jones
presided. A petition for fire plug
was presented by number of the
residents of North Main street and It
was referred 20 the water committee
There was also request that four arc
lights be erected on the Ridge. This
was referred to the light committee
A petition asking for the appointment
Of chief and assistant policeman to
do duty on the First ward caused con-
siderable discussion. The council
seemed Inclined to favor the idea, but
hesitated because Of the expense. 1t
was finally referred to a committee
consisting Of the burgess, President
Jones and Councilman Hunt. This Pc
tition afforded an opportunity for Mr..
McNulty, of the Citizen, to make a
vigorous address, In which he sustained
the petitioners and urged the council
to take favorable action on their ap-
peal. His sentiments were endorsed In
the main by President Jones and Coun-
cilmen Behle and Wagner. Borough
Attorney Battenberg. whose opinion
was requested as to the advisability of
accepting the new road leading to
Scott from the southern end of the bor-
ough and OF abandoning the northern
road, thought that the step could be
taken with every prospect of success
and he was directed to do whatever was
necessary to bring about that result.
He also referred to the report Of the
commission appointed to fix the bound
airy between Carbondale township and
Archibald and thought II would be O
good idea to erect marking stones so
that further trouble growing out Of the
boundary may be avoided. This mat
ter was also referred to q committee.
The new ordinances read twice at a
former meeting Of the council, passed
final reading.

Another Complaint.

Eds. "Record-Union": Others have
complained of the manner in which
teamsters have been allowed to abuse
the costly bitumen that citizens have
had laid in front of their residence prop
erty on L. N and Fifteenth streets, and
now l want to add my kick.
To-day 1 could have gathered fully
three wheelbarrow loads of jagged rock
dropped on the pavement on Tenth and
n streets and also along one macadam
block on Eleventh street, caused by
men hauling crushed rock. / followed
one of these wagons for three blocks,
and the jagged stones were dropping off
all the way.
These rock, dirt and swill-laden out
fits could just as well travel the grav-
eled streets, and even there they should
not be permitted to filter their loads
along the roadway where taxpayers
have to drive or ride.
The demand of those who had to pay
for bitumen pavements that they have
some protection from these nuisances-
they might be called outrages-is just
one. TAXPAYER.

ALL HAVE WOODEN LEGS.
A Marvellous Tale Recited About
Judge Henry's Chickens.

Judge Henry is the proud owner of
ten bantam chickens. There is nothing
remarkable about that, but if reports
are true, there is something remarkable
about the chickens.
Last spring, so the story runs, pair
OF bantams Were sent to the Judge, but
by some mishap the rooster and hen
each had leg broken The Judge, with
his Well-known kindness of heart. did
not like to kill them, but had the skin of
the leg raised and wooden splints in
serted underneath. They both recovered,
and in due time the hen performed her
duty as an incubator and hatched out
ten little bantams. And here is where
the marvellous part comes in for the
story goes on to state that every one of
those chickens had a wooden leg and
that the Judge is so proud Of them that
he takes his friends around to see them
SO often that his business as a minister
of Hymen is seriously interfered with.
The truth of the story is not vouched for,
but those who disbelieve it can easily
have their doubts set at rest by inter-
viewing Judge Henry on the point.

PEOPLE FEEL BETTER.
Confidence is Already Beginning to
be Restored.

There are still skepticS who are slow
to acknowledge that the election OF Nc
kinley has restored confidence in busl-
ness circles, and that much money IS
already being invested all over the
country. These people have read the
telegraphic news in the columns of the
Record Union both on Thursday and
Friday, and there have learned that
large numbers of men have been put
at work in various parts of the East,
the stock exchange is picking up, and
confidence is restored all along the line.
But they have read it with Indifference,
and men have been known to simply
laugh at the idea and say, "Oh, that IS
all bosh! These things would have been
done, any way"
Perhaps these same skeptics will be-
lieve what has happened nearer home.
The Cashier of a certain bank said yes
terday that although few knew it there
was a steady run on his bank all last
week of persons who wished to With
draw small deposits and place them in
safe deposit vaults. One depositor drew
ut $4,000.
AS soon as the result of the election
was announced these same depoSitOrS
have been busy carrying their money
back to the bank again. In fact, they
have been actually falling over each
other in their hurry to get it in again.
A certain wholesale house on election
day held two orders for goods which
were not to be filled if Bryan was
elected. At this same house a country
merchant came in yesterday and pur-
chased a bill of S400 worth of goods.
which he said he would not have been
justified in doing had Bryan succeeded.
These are true stories and can be
proven to be So

BIRTH OF THE FLAG"
The Historical Painting Now on Exhi-
bitiOn Here.

Weisgerbers historical painting,
'The Birth of the Nations Flag" wall
ued at $4,000, is now on free exhibition
at the establishment of Weinstock
Lubin q Co. The firm procured the
Painting for a. season from the artist
two members of the house having seen
1t when on exhibition at the Worlds
Columbian Exhibition
1t is shown in the shadow box with
maroon trimmings, and under incandes-
cent electric light in a room prepared
Tor It. 1t is very large canvas and is
exceedingly strong in color. Its chief
artistic value is in it's figure work. 1t
introduces full length portraits OF
George Washington Robert Morris and
Colonel George Ross and Betsy Ross"
The portraits are excellent, the fig
ureS strong, easy and natural. The
scene is Betsy Morris sewing room
She is seated with the neW-made hag
lying across her lap, and with both
hands she is just lifting the upper end
OF the flag to show its blue field and
circle of thirteen stars.
Washington and Morris are seated
and Ross stands respectfully behind
them. Washington extends his hand
approvingly, his countenance petokens
admiration and Morris is nodding affir
nation Ross wears a pleased and
proud smile while Mistress Betsy is
grave and smileless as became her in
the august presence that had honored
Der humble home.
Through the small white curtained
window at her back the sunlight
streams in in a rich flood and baptizes
the flag bringing out it's colors glori-
ously The floor is Uttered with Betsy's
scraps of red, white and blue, and her
work basket, in the order of disorder,
its silken skeins depending over it's edge
Is at her side on low stool in front of
her work table. The room is scrupu-
lousy neat, and on the ledge of the
half open window is a pot of flowers,
Indicating the taste of the patriotic
woman of the revolution.
The painting is very rich in colors,
but these are so harmonized and bathed
in such a rich, warm light, that they
tone down, producing a charming ef-
feet 1t is a noble picture and inspires
patriotic emotion in whoever looks upon
it. The story of the birth of the flag
is told by the artist at length; in brief,
1t is this:
III IL ~ 1OHSIeSS appointed a cOln-
nnittee to devise a flag. The Kings
Colors" were resolved upon or the
Union Jack" combined with stripes
o. alternate red and white. This sig
nifed that while the colonies were
united against injustice, they still ac-
knowledged the sovereignty of Eng
land. Later, Congress appointed Wash
ington, Morris and Ross to report a flag
for adoption. They took Elizabeth
Ross, who was a skilled needlewoman,
into counsel. Washington drew a de-
sign and the lady set to work, first
having her own way as to the stars,
which she insisted should be five
pointed instead of six as Washington
had designed.
When the flag was finished the COM
mittee called to see 1t. and this scene
forms the subject of the picture. The
committee adopted Betsy's work, re-
Ported it to Congress and that body
confirmed it, and SO the flag of a free
people was born.
