FOR BETTER Government
Solicitors Of Third Class Cities to
Meet Here Next Month.
WILL AMEND THE ACT OF 1880
Call for the Convention Issued BY Prcsi-
dent Torrey. OF This City. and Sec
rotary stuart. Of CarbOudaIc.
An Important Session.

One of the most important conven-
tions with which this city has been
honored Is scheduled for May 10, when
the solicitors of all third class cities in
the state of PENNSYLVANIA will assem-
bic here to discuss proper and needed
amendments to the act of 1889, under
which such cities are governed.
This convention is the outgrowth of
the convention of representatives of
cities of the third class held in Read
ing on March II last. 1t was found
then that convention such as that,
composed OF councilmen. city solicitors,
city engineers, city clerks and the like
was too unwieldy for actual business.
so 1t twas agreed to submit the affairs
of the convention to a committee COM
posed of the city solicitors who should
formulate report to be presented at
the next session, which is to be held in
Williamsport in the early fall.
City Solicitor James II. Torrey was
made chairman of the committee and
City Solicitor Il. T. Stuart, of Carbon
dale, secretary. Yesterday they sent
out the following circular. reminding
the members of the committee of the
time and purpose of the convention:

son as may be selected by his city, which

changes in the municipal law as may be
directed by the convention. and $ uch
other changes as may seem best to the
convention. and to report to an adjourned
meeting of the convention.
That the delegates from each city be re-
| quested to transmit to the committee rs
soon as may be practicable any sugges-
| tions they may have to make as to amend
| to the act of 1889. If any such proposed
| amendments are, in the opinion of the
| committee, in conflict with the constitu-
| ton, they shall so report to the next meet
| ing Of this convention. If practicable
| the committee shall have their report
| printed, and copies sent to each delegate
at least two weeks prior to the next meet.

about the alleged healer:
August Shrader. who calls himself

his appearance in Eastern cities, is well

claim in the East is that he made thous-
ands Of miraculous cures in the West.
But while he was In the West his cures
were always made in some other town.
Ia the latter part Of July he was in
Dallas. Tex. and there hc asserted at
first that he was Francis Schlatter. Then,
finding that that statement might get
him into trouble. he said that he was
not Schlatter. but that he had performed
many miraculous cures I'm Denver. In
