Light and Police 4 fairs.

The question OF light was taken up by
Frecland council at the adjourned ses-
sion on Monday evening, and the result,
of the deliberations was that the now
applicants were given privilege to erect
lamps in some of the dark territory OF
the borough so the people can see for
themselves what sort Of light the out
side companies can furnish.
The light committee, through Chair
man Kline, read a number Of replies re-
ceived from various towns and cities in
Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey
and Ohio, giving the prices paid and the
conditions upon which their streets are
lighted.
AS the figures varied so much it was
not possible to arrive at any definite
average, and the council agreed to meet
as committee of the whole at Solicitor
Stroh's Office Wednesday Qast) evening
to tabulate the prices and discuss the
question.
Previous to this action, Mr.. Maloney,
of Scranton, representing the Welsbach
Illuminating Company, Philadelphia,
and Mr.. Ober, of the Kitson Company
spoke upon the merits of their lights.
The council decided to allow each to
light up street where no electric lights
are at present and a comparison will
then be made.
The Welsbach Company will light up
Main street, in the Third ward, South
Heberton, and the Kitson Company
Birkbeck street, from Main to Foster
streets.
The police committee reported that in
conjunction with the burgess and chief
of police the charges made by President
DePierro against Officer McNelis had
been investigated and they had decided
that the chief should administer repri-
mand to the officer. The report was
accepted, thus ending an episode which
ut one time threatened to assume large
proportions.

Hazleton Opera House.

All lovers of refined stage art agree
that James A. Herne's unconventional
comedy-drama OF American home life
"Shore Acres" is the strongest play oi
its kind ever produced on the English.
speaking stage. In it there is absolute
truth to nature and the characters in.
troduced upon the scene come and go as
people do in life. Certainly no other
native work has ever shown the age and
body of the time more wildly or faith
fully. The closing scenes of the first
and second acts are extremely interest
ing, and no one who has ever witnessed
the final scene in the play will ever for
get it. A thoroughly competent con
pauy, with the wellknown character
actor, Archie Boyd, at its head, has
been engaged to present ''Shore Acres
at Hazleton opera house tonight.
Prices rs, so, 80 and % cents.

Owing to the cold weather the anthra-
cite coal companies have decided to
make an advance in the price for all
sizes at New England points of 25 cents
a ton, to take effect mmediately, and it
is understood that it is the intention of
the operators to make another advance
within very short time. Owing to the
shortage of cars there is great demand
for all sizes throughout the anthracite
and bituminOus trades and many OF the
mines are being worked only part time
as the amount Of coal produced cannot
be handled and there is no place to
store it.
The new price relates only to coal at
points in the New England district and
does not apply to the city and line and
tidewater trade. 1t is stated, however,
that there will also be an advance in
price along the whole line, perhaps on
the first of the year, although it is not
believed that any material change will
be made in the retail prices.
The anthracite output for the month
of November was 4,S00, 900 tons, which
is 300, 600 tons greater than for the same
period last year. 1t is stated however
that if the different companies could
have secured enough cars the output
would have been considerably greater

THE POWER OF WOMEN.

walks and shops, crowds and is crowded,
and comes home self-constituted wreck
bringing with her something she had
purchased; and as she drags her tired
self along the homeward street, her
dropping eyelids open wide enough for
her to see within the window of her
own town store the same article at the
same price.
Don't for moment think that would
be as foolish as to say it is woman S
duty to buy everything at the local
stores unless it pays to do so, for | am
aware that there are exceptional towns
where the local stores are not worth
patronizing, but | know from experience
that in ninety-nine per cent of the local
towns of fair size, the stores carry goods
good enough to satisfy the reasonab BILE
demands of sensible people.
You have duty to perform, and that
duty is for you to support your town
from progressive motives as well as from
selfish motives.
If your local stores don't carry the
goods you need, the chances are it is
your fault, not theirs They cannot
afford to carry good things in great
variety if you spend your dollars abroad
and your cents at home.
Give your stores the opportunity, and
they will give you the goods.
Spend your money in distant city.
and all you will receive are the goods
you buy. Spend it in your town, and it
will come back to you, not only in the
goods you buy, but in better streets,
better schools, and better everything.
Spend your money away from home.
and you receive back the principal.
Spend your money at home, and you get
back the principal and everlasting
interest.
Read your local papers. It's your
duty to know what is going on about
you. family without local paper is
to be pitied, because it must depend
upon the charity of its neighbors to
learn what is going on.
Read the advertisements of your local
stores.
Keep posted on the business of your
town, as well as upon the social functions.
am aware that some stores misrepre-
sent in their advertising, and l also
know that you can get cheated at the
stores that don't advertise.
All things considered, the store which
wants your trade enough to invite you
to give it to it, Is the safest and best
store to trade at, and this store adver
tises.
The store that advertises is the store
that is known, and the store that is
known is the store that the trade goes to
and the store that the trade goes to is the
store that does the business, and the
store that does the business is the store
that cannot afford to cheat.
So long as there is money there must
be business, and the business of towr
is the maintaining element of comfort
and progress.
The town is yours, ladies.
What are you going to do with it?
