The City Ordinance Adopted
In 1897.
MANY SUITS ARE FILED.
County Attorney Edwards, 1t Is Said,
Has Eleven Thousand Suits To File
For the Recovery Of Delinquent
County Taxes.

When District Clerk Escsjeda retir-
ed from Office recently he filed with
City Clerk Catlin bill OF costs due
him from the city for more than one
hundred and fifty suits filed recently
by the city attorney to recover back
taxes due the municipality during
past years, as late as 1897.
The 1897 taxes did not become de-
linquent until September /. of the pre-
sent year owing to the, delay CODA
stoned by the bond suit and tax levy
which YVES held back to await the out
come of the suit which was decided by
the supreme court in favor of the
municipality.
The city passes an ordinance each
yesr making the tax levy after the
assessor has reported the valuation OF
taxable property.
A few months ago, on account of the
large number of delinQuents and the
heavy financial loss accruing to the
city thereby, the council adopted
penalty to those taxes not paid, and the
city attorney was directed to
institute suiG to recover such
sums as soon as possible.
In compliance with these Instructions
many suits were recently commenced
by him in the district court and many
judgments secured which will force
property holders to pay up.
The city taxes for 1898 have not yet
been levied. although they soon swill
be and an ordinance has already been
prepared to he in readiness when the
time comes for action.

OBITUARY.
Henry Pfaf1e.

Another aged resident of Della
ware obeyed the final summons ear
ly Tuesday morning, Oct. II, and
passed over to the great majority.
Henry Pfaffle was born in Wurtem-
burg, Germany, May 10 1926 His
father was q man of prominence and
largely engaged in the business of
brick making The young man re-
ceived an excellent education, and,
after serving six years in the 8th
Regiment German army having. an
an active mind and seeking a wider
field for exertion he migrated in
1852 to America. On shipboard he
became acquainted with Theresa
King a young lady fromWeisbaden.
On arriving in NY. they were mar.
ried, and she has ever proved a
most devoted and faithful wife and
mother.
After remaining in that city one
year they came to Pike Co., first
living in Dingman Twp. and sub
sequently removing to Delaware
where he purchased farm on which
he resided for S5 years and on which
he died. He was an industrious. in
telligent man of kindly disposition
an obliging neighbor and a happy
indulgent father and husband. Be.
sides his widow he leaves daughters
surviving, Hannah M, wife of An
drew Gunther, Adelaide, wife of Gus
tav Yerring, of Port Chester, N. Y.

BEGINNING A REFORM.

1E0A ~ " INV n &NA1G OANAs
1t is an old saying that ''charity
should begin at home" and 1t is
equally true that keeping ones own
door yard clean is a good'beginning
before railing at your neighbor.
The Democratic papers in the state
are in fine frenzy, and gnashing
their teeth over the short comings
of the last Republican Legislature.
They are filed with objurgations
and condemnations of the reckless
nesses and extravagances of that
body and their effects on the tax
payers. How can this state of af-
fairs, assuming that it is true, be
remedied? The answer is obvious,
by sending men who will have an
eye single to the peoples interests.
Each district is directly responsible
for its representative, and to 1t he
must first account, If he has shown
himself incompetent or untrust-
worthy, careless of the interests he
was sent to represent, neglecttul of
the highest welfare of his constitu-
ents, and so of the people generally,
his district, in justice to itself and
in fairness to all the taxpayers of
the Commonwealth, should not re-
turn him TO misrepreseut it. If
eacn Legislative district would care
fully scrutinize the capacity and
merit of its candidate and his fitness
TO perform the duties of his Office
and only elect men thus qualified
the Legislative body would instant
ly rise to a level of respectability
and honesty, which would rebound
to the credit and prosperity of the
people. 1t has been shown that oui
representative was remiss in the
performance of his duty, in that hC
voted for bill "vicicus" t.
this county, but so far there bai
been no word of condemnation fo
that act in the home organ of TIN
Democracy. It has rallied at tht
Legislature for passing "vicious
laws inimical to the interests of tn,
tax payers, and by it's silence rec
ommends, and by placing his mann
at its masthead, it commends tn
Hon. F. A. Kessler to the people fo
reelection. Does it lie in the mout
of those who are making no effoI
to keep their own dooryards clear
to abuse their neighbors.
If the people of Pike County in
sist on returning man who is con
victed of neglecting their intereots
and of voting without protest fo
laws vicious to them, can they So
aught if other districts, or the RI
publicars, do the same? Remoy
the beam from your own eye befoI
you say anything about the mote
your neighbor's.

LAFAYETTE ARRoR DAY.

Nathan c. Schaeffer, Superinten-
tent of Public instruction, has, at
the suggestion of Governor Has
tings, set apart Wednesday, Oct. 10,
as Lafayette Arbor Day in the pub
lie schools of the state, and requests
that the day be observed by the
planting of trees and other appro-
pirate exercises. This date is chos-
en- because it commentaries the
surrender of CORVALLIS at York
town. Contributions will be taken
in all the schools and colleges in all
parts of the United States toward a
monument to Lafayette to be cree
ted in Paris and to be dedicated on
United States day at the exposition
in 1900. The response should be,
and without doubt will be, both
generous and universal throughout
Pennsylvania. 1t was in this State
at the battle of the Brandywine,
that Lafayette was wounded while
rendering gallant service to the
American cause it was on our soil
that his blood was shed for Amer
lean freedom, and it would be an
appropriate honor to his name tc
plant a tree to be known as a Lafay-
cite tree.

Democratic friends, that Mr.. Mich

Northampton County having exer-
cised the right to name the date of
the Conference, chad no right to
adjourn 1t"
Here the eminent statesman from

the English language. There could
be no adjournment" of a Confer

Northampton merely claimed the
right to postpone for a day, the

the right to name the date. it was
beyond doubt, her right to change

REBATE IN TAXES.

If the owners of timber land in
this county seek the rebate allowed
by the Moore bill, which may equal
forty. five cents an acre, il will make
considerable difference in the
amount of taxes available. Every
acre which has on it fifty trees that
are eight inches in diameter feet
above the ground is entitled to a re-
bate of 80 per centum of the taxes
it has paid for the year. There
are many such acres yet in this
county.
