 In view of the ban put upon the use of these vehicles on the Chicago bouie- wards and in the city parks by the park commissioners, the following state ment of regulations adopted in France. which has been transmitted by Consul General Gowdy from Paris. is of in (erest:

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Sooner or later the world comes round to see truth and do the right Hillard.
 There is n0 substitute for thorough going, ardent and sincere earnestness- Dickens.
 Not to be able to bear poverty is & shameful thing, but not to know how to chase it away oy work is a. more shameful thing yet-Pericles.
 It is by the goodness of God that we have the possession of three unspeak- ably preeions things freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence of using neither of thems--- Mark Twain.
 Some men are very entertaining for first interview, but after that they are exhausted and run out; on sec~ ond meeting We shall find them very flat and monotonous; like hand or gans, we have heard all their tunes.--- Colton.
 If religion is to be tried by any out ward test, that is surely to be found iR the answer to the questicm, not hoy R man dies, but how he lives. It wils be well for those who believe in Chris tianity to leave no advantage to the sceptic in that species of ~gument.-- Principal Caird.

LoNpoN,s TUNNELS.

6triking Examples of Ignorance and Con-
 tempt for Hygienic Science.
 Could more striking example be exhibited of the ignorance and con- tempt by hygienic science than is shown by the condition of the tunnels of the metropolitan railways of Lon don? Probably in no other city in the world would the characteristics of the atmosphere of the tunnel between, say, Praed street and Kings Cross, be tol- erated for one single week; great part of the existence of this filthy attribute of the subterranean railway system of London may be charged to the imper- fections of the steam locomotive, says the Engineering Magazine. This in- dictment could be heightened. but enough has been stated to prove that, although we cannot fail to gratefully recognize the influence that George Ste- phenson's invention has exerted in am- eliorating the conditions of the life of the industrious masses. it still in its high state of development possesses fundamental defects of very serious nature. The beneficent science of electricity graciously offers us a means for tractive and propulsion work, to move cur trainloads of passengers or of merchandise, by which, in addition to the removal of all the serious disad- vantages to great degree inseparably associated with steam locomotive rrac- tion and already enumerated, We ob- tain qualifications that have made the sometimes irksome necessity of travel. ing a real pleasure. if not a liberal edu- cation.

Tremendous Power of Cyclones.

Careful estimates of the force of cyclone and the energy required to keep full-fedged hurricane in active operation reveal the presence of power that makes the mightiest efforts Q. man appear as nothing in compari- son. A force fully equal to 100000 horse power was estimated as devei- oped in West Indian cyclone. This is about fifteen times the power that is creatahle by all means within the range of mans capabilities during the same time Were steam. water, wind mills and the strength of all men and all animals combined they could not at ali approach the tremendous force exerted by this terrible storm.

sCHUYLKILL BOND SCANDAL.
Decision in the Matter Is Expected
This Week.

Pottsville, Sept. 5.-At this weeks
session of criminal court, Judge Mari
will hand down his decision in the in
junction obtained by Controller Null
doom and the Taxpayers league re-
straining the county commissioners
from issuing the new county bonds to
II. II. Pearson, of New York. 1t is al
legged that a bonus was offered to cer-
tain officials for their influence in ef-
fecting the loan. 1t was also said that
a certain person was paid $4,000 for his
efforts in this direction. These were
vague rumors and the testimony taken
did not implicate any one.
1t is alleged by the Taxpayers league
that the amount due the county from
the tax duplicates of 1899 will be suffic-
lent to cover the temporary loans of
S17S,O00 without having recourse to n
| bond issue. II. o. Bechtel, counsel for
the commissioners, and r. II. Koch,
attorney for Mr. Pearson, contend that
the new bond issue will save Schuylkil!
county thousands of dollars in interest
annually as the new bonds bear a
much lower rate of interest than that
now paid by the county to the banks
| for temporary loans.

WYOMING COUNTY.

One of the best things about the
firemen's convention at Tunkhannock
from the firemen's point of view are
the good opinions that find expression
from the people of the town now that
the affair is over. The impression
seemer TO prevail among the people
here that there would be a great deal
of drunkenness, fighting and that there
would not be much left of the town
after the boys had finished with 1t.
But, to the credit of the companies
that We're here, it should be said that
while this was the largest crowd that
has ever visited our town, it was at
the same time the most orderly. The
firemen were out for a good time and
had it. and in the having of it. Of
course, created a racket, but drunken
ness and lighting and other like amuse-
ments We're conspicuous chiefly by
their absence.
