WHAT WE NIGHT HAVE BEEN.

A neighboring paper says: The
population of Milford, Pa, which
was 9S3 in 1880, in 1890 was only
793. The decrease has been continu-
Gus ever since and there are now
more than 20 unoccupied houses in
the village.
We do not think the number of
unoccupied houses in town are
more than half the number stated,
but there has been a falling off in
population owing mainly to the
closing of the watch case shops.
The increase in summer guests how
ever has Seen marked, and our pros
perity cannot be fairly measured by
the number of permanent inhabi-
tants. New and handsome resi-
dences are being erected every year,
the capacities of our hotels and
boarding houses enlarged, and the
surrounding country greatly inn
proved. We are not fortunate in
having a railroad, but our sister
town should remember she is a
child of circumstances. In her
early days our Democratic repre-
sentatives, for valuable considera-
tions unto them moving perpetrated
the treacherous act of placing Port
Jervis in the cradle intended for
town in our county, and she has
been nourished on our milk, and
fed on our resources ever since to a
great extent. Pike County has had
no greater or more blighting curse
than her Democratic representatives,
who have ON every occasion offered
sold out their birthright and their
counties interests, for a pass on the
Erie and as much more as she would
give them, which was never a large
sum for they were simply tools of
small guage. Recall the trickery, the
perfdy, the miserable scheming. by
which the thieves who then con-
trolled the Erie, aided by the un-
scrupulous, blatant, selfish and
treacherous men who pretended to
represent the interests of Pike stole
away our rights toa bridge across
the Delaware and a connection with
Erie, and fastened ON the people of
this county a leech which has ever
since been taking double the amount
of blood in tolls then was originally
allowed. Had not the bridge and the
other obligations to furnish connec-
tions been frittered away and the
outrage finally nailed by one who
had been made the recipient of re-
peated honors at the hands Of our
people, we would no doubt to-day be
enjoying the facilities of railroad
communication with the outside
world, and be like our neighbors
measurably prosperous. This chap

COURT HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS

The County Commissioners are
having a place made in the attic of
the Court House in which to store
the old files and unused books now
crowding the vault of their office
and that of the prothonotary's.
More room has long been needed,
and this arrangement will probably
relieve to a great extent the con-
gested state of those receptacles
of county records. They are also
having the walls of the lower story
painted and frescoed, which will
add greatly to their appearance, and
cause our temple of justice to pres
ent more attractive aspect.
Hetty Green the richest woman
in America spent Christmas day
alone. Her two children were both
absent and her husband is sick. Her
lot with her many millions seemed
to be far unhappier than that of peo-
pie in moderate circumstances and
even of the very poor. Riches do
not always bring contentment, but
they are pretty certain to bring care,

claims made by both sides, that it
will be a close fight in the Senatorial

STATE FAIR STOCK AMPHITHEATER.

secretary for the ensuing twelve
months, and that gentleman briefly
promised to put forth his best efforts
in the interest of the society.
Acting on the suggestion of the AS
ISOLATION of State Fair Managers,
which met last November in Chicago,
the Minnesota association named the
week of Sept. ell for holding the next
fair, and it was decided that almost at
once the preliminary work of prepard-
ton be commenced. Perhaps the most
important action taken was the deter
minatiOn to ask the legislature for the
modest sum Of sos, 900, Of Which $4,000
will be expended in the construction
and equipping Of an amphitheater while
the, balance will be used in extending
the city water mains and supplying the
fair grounds with an adequate water
service, not only in case of fire, but
for watering the stock, grounds etc.
A bill will be drawn embracing the
necessary points for such apprOprla-
ton and submitted to the Legislature
in a few days. A. B. Moffat. of Man
kato, was reelected treasurer for the
coming year, and the president named
the following committee on transporta-
ton: Messrs Liggett, Elliott and Nc
GinnisS, who will confer with the rail
roads almost Immediately SO as to be
able to publish plans for transportation,
ETC., in the premium list, which will
be published shortly.
Certain old claims. amounting in all
to several hundred dollars, were taken
up, and passed upon one way or an
other Plans for the Improvement of
the buildings and grounds were dis
cussed in a cursory manner, and will
be taken UP more definitely at the next
meeting.

brought out in full view Of the chill
dren, instead of being compared by
few interested farmers. The saddle
horse competition, the military maneu-
vers, the many different kinds of ath
letic contests, impossible with the
grandstand, bicycle races and all man
ner of special attractions to be found
at an up-to-date fair will all find a
place here.
The arena will be made up with tan
bark surrounded by an eight-lap Gin
DER track for the bike races, and, no
matter what the attraction, the COLI
scum will open at all times to visitors
to the fair and there will be no extra
charge Of any kind for any perform
ance.
A glance at the sketch of the coli
scum herewith will show the arena
with the blue sky for a roof, but with
plenty of rooted space in case Of bad
weather; the tasteful arrangement of
the architectural points, the excellent
accommodations for the vendors OF
wares of various sorts, and being fin ;,
1Shed in quite Well-matched colors, it
premises to be the prettiest as well as
the most popular structure on the whole
grounds. 1t is the present intention
to ask Senator Greer to present the
bill asking the appropriation, and the
idea is to have the building completed
and in shape for the coming fair.
The meeting at which the plans of
the proposed structure were inspected
and discussed yesterday was held at
the Ryan hotel. The new member Of
the board of managers, J. M. Under

he had deserted from the service Nov.

not sufficient to support himself and
wife. Morrow has been at New Brigh-

company, and came to st. Paul yester-
