The Reynoldsville STAR, OF Wednes-
days date announced that the regular
monthly meeting of the town council
would be held that evening, after which
it would adjourn and the new council
would organize. According to the eloc-
tion laws of Pennsylvania, the terms of
borough incumbents in most cases, com
mence on tho first Monday in March
and continue for the period now fixed
for the duration thereof by existing
laws. This law relates to councilmen
and the Reynoldsville citizens are Il
trile ahead Of time. Dubois came near
making the same mistake In the organ
ization of its new council, which duty
has been postponed until the evening OF
the day their term ences.-DuBois
Express.
Up until few months ago the council
OF this borough always met on the first
Monday Of each month and the new
council was always organized the same
night the old council adjourned sine de,
and that was why the new council came
near making the mistake of organizing
too soon, but the Act of Assembly was
referred to in time to avoid this, and
the new council did not organize until
Monday evening of this week.

The proposed law in regard to bicycle
paths in this state, which will soon be
brought up for second reading in the
Legislature, should be of great interest
to bicycle riders. If the bill is passed
it will make 1t possible to construct and
maintain side paths along the highways
in the townships of the Commonwealth
for the use Of wheelmen and pedes-
trians; bicycle riders, however, are to
have the right of way thereon. AS the
entire expense Of the new idea will be
borne by bicycle owners, the new law
imposing tax on wheels for the pur-
pose named, and as the act will be OPP
erative only in counties that petition
the courts to appoint Side Path Com
missioners, thus relieving the wheel
men OF any county wherein sidepaths
are deemed undesirable, there can
hardly be found any sensible reason why
the law should not be unanimously ap-
proved. The fact thata cycle path is
the only solution to country riding, dur
the lives of the present generation, in
this section of the state at least, is be.
yond question; and with the passage oi
this act we will be enabled in a few
years to have side paths on all main
roads, making it possible to take coun
try rides during nine months Of the
year, instead Of three or four, as under
existing circumstances.

matte spring washer, wants the readers
Of THE STAR to investigate the ma
chine, also the business of selling it.
The Automatic is perfect in every re-
spect and is great seller, and any live
salesmen could not embark in a more
lucrative business than handling this
machine. Mr.. Hartwick is always will
ing to give exhibitions, public or pri-
vate, and explain to anyone his manner
of transacting business. He is citizen
OF the town and Is deserving OF great
praise for his straightforward methods
Of dealing with the public. A lengthy
notice in this weeks issue OF THE STAR
shows the success he has met with
while here, which illustrates forcibly
that the machine must possess all the
merits claimed for it.
House-cleaning time is near and you
surely ought to have an automatic
washer to wash your bed clothing with.
The automatic spring washer is the
only perfect washer on the market and
every household should have one, for it
saves labor, time and clothing.
w. G. Hartwick gave a public wash
ing on Main street Saturday afternoon
to large and interested audience. All
who witnessed the work speak in praise
of the Washing Machine. To see this
machine operate is enough to prove all
merit claimed for 1t.

will pay, just secure an agency for the
automatic spring washer. For particu-
lars and terms to agents, address

Anna Mabel is a prime favorite in Juneau, Everybody was supposed to wear a calico dress, but there were some failures in that re- spect. Anna is but thirteen years old and she made her own dress, but we do think she is a better singer and jig dan cer than a dress maker.

 ] People in Douglas are not lacking in public spiritedness, and when called on for anything for the good of the town are quick to respond generally, but there are some who have not caught the Alaska spirit of enterprise. Every one should labor for the good of the town even though intending to remain but few weeks or months, for, as Rev. Wirt said some months ago in a sermon at Juneau, the most of you are here for gold, perhaps to beautify some home, or to make q new one back in the states; that is all right too, but you should re- aIize the fact that some of you will be here five years from now, some of you ten years from now, some of you will die here. Hence everyone should help improve and beautify and in every way make this town desirable place in which to live The man who comes here for day may become perma- nent settler, and the man who comes to locate may move away tomorrow. Make yourself at home and perform your share of the public duties, be they social, educational, municipal or relig- iouS.

peror William displayed great interest
in the conference with Cecil Rhodes
asking many questions as to the latter's
schemes, without however, going into
details or revealing his own views. He
was especially keen regarding the tele-
graphic portion Of Mr.. Rhodes projects,
and he said he had not yet renounced
his hope OF visiting Egypt to see with
his own eyes the work that has been
accomplished there.
In the course of the interview his
majesty said: DO not miss seeing the
marble statues in the Sieges-AlleQ
(Avenue of Victory)." He also ex-
pressed the hope to see Mr.. Rhodes
again before he left Berlin.
The emperor dined with Prince Ho-
henlohe, the imperial chancellor, yes.
terday, after receiving Mr.. Rhodes,
with whom he had conversad FOR three
quarters of an hour.
Mr.. Rhodes is continuing his visits to
high officials and financiers, and the
general belief here is that his efforts TO
obtain the kaiseT's adherence TO the
project of a railroad from the Cape to
Cairo, passing through German East
African territory. will succeed.

Romance and crime are strangely

tor. 1t is dated Lincoln, Neb., and,
after referring to personal matters,
says:
"As I think I stated in my letter to
Mr. Flower, I am in favor of the in
itiative and referendum as far as it can
be applied to our conditions. and assist
ed in the adoption of such a plank in
our state convention, but I believe an
attempt to give that such prominence
as you seem to give it, means harm
rather than advantage to the other re-
forms upon which the people are ready
to act. 1 may be mistaken, but such is
my opinion. In your letter you add the
subject of government ownership of
railroads. although your circular does
not mention this. You are in error IN
supposing that 1 have advocated the
government ownership of railroads. l
have been so busily engaged in the
study and discussion of the questions
which have been Immediately before,
that have never had opportunity to
examine into the effect of the govern
Dent ownership of railroads in other
countries. Events have forced certain
issues into the foreground and the peo
ple are ready to act upon them. To
invite them to pass over these ques-
tions and take up new ones Will be a
confession that we were wrong last fall,
and weaken the force of our arguments.
II note what you say in regard to the
desire of those whom you represent to
support me in 1900 I think 1900 is too
far ahead for us to know who may be
most available at that time. We are
entitled to the most available man,
whoever he may be, and the events of
The next three years will be needed to
aid Us in selecting him. Those who are
trying to overthrow the reign of pluto
cracy inaugurated by the Republican
party will have to do the best they can,
each following his own judgment, and
I trust that our forces may be concen-
trated upon certain reforms held in
common, rather than divided when the
next battle begins.
