Miss Annie Scarborough il critically

Mrs. Harry Slack, of south Main
street, is seriously ill.
The population of Bucks county is
7l,sl5, which is 200 more than it was
ten years ago.
The Caroline Lambert estate on
Bridge street, has been sold at private
sale to Michael Herman, who expects
to occupy it in the near future.
The large number of typhoid fever
cases which have developed in town
during the past few days, indicates
that the sanitary condition of the
borough needs attention. The Board
of Health should ferrit out the cause
of the unhealthy odor in the vicinity
of the bridge at Main and Mechanic
streets, as there is undoubtedly nest
of typhoid germs there that should be
removed without delay.

minutes tho Eagle firemen with their
steamer drawn by two largo horses,

turned their attention to the al Joining
part of the mill, composing the boiler
room, bindery and machine room, and
exerted every effort to save it, which
seemed sure of becoming prey of the

The Old Company and the New.

It is not difficult to understand what in
fuences are being exerted to secure a post
ponsment OF action by the Senate on the
pending telephone bill They may all be
traced to a single interest, that of the Bell
corporation now installed here in posses
sion OF the field That company, having
had several years of opportunity to secure
the good Will OF the public. has utterly
failed TO do so. 1t has extorted the maxi
mum OF return for only a moderately
good service; 1t has neglected all chances
to placate Its subscribers; it has defied the
command Of Congress with regard to its
rates, and 1t has thus Invited opposition and
criticism, whereas If ii had pursued a plaza
tory policy even during the past few
months it would now be supported in its
monopoly Of the field by large majority of
the citizens OF the District. Its protest
against the incorporation of another COM
psny. willing to serve the people a a rea-
sonable rate. springs, therefore, from a.
purely selfish motive, without even the
credit OF a decent show Of fair play The
familiar adage about the dog in the man.

more than the non-government phones
maintained at present by the old company.
1t is known for certainty that a very
to the Chesapeake and Potomac service are
on the new company's lists, SO that in case
the latter begins work the discrepancy be-
tween the patronage of the two corpora
tons will be very heavy. Doubtless the
new service will include several times as
many phones as the old. even should the
government continue Its patronage of the
older and far more costly system, which is
doubtful. This calculation does not take
account of the natural growth of the bust
ness incidental to the cheapening of the
rates 1t is not too much to expect that
even If the old company should lower its
rates in an attempt to drive the newcomer
from the field the people would virtually
desert the Chesapeake and Potomac cor
poration in body, obnoxious has that
monopoly made itself in the years of its
arrogant mastery of the field.
This view of the situation should appeal
strongly to the Senate committee and to the
Senate itself. 1t represents the people of
Washington standing practically as unit
demanding relief in this form. Postpone
ment of action means to ignore the wishes
of the people-who are most vitality con-
cerned-and to defer abjectly to the die
tates of corporation which has alienated
every particle of local allegiance and has
never exerted itself to meet the needs of
its unwilling patrons.

New York politics presents most pecu-
liar complication just at present which is
worthy OF study. One of the officials who
was put in Office in Greater New York by
Tammany votes along with Mayor Van
Wyck was Bird S. Coler of Brooklyn, the
controller He was chosen because he was
believed to be honest and Tammany felt the
need of appealing in at least one particular
to the sympathes of the decent voters.
But Coler has proved a thorn in the flesh.
He has been entirely too honest for Tam
many's purposes. He has squelched yari-
Gus schemes of the sachems. has opposed
the mayor in sundry items Of municipal
finance. has kept the tightest of grips on
the public purse and has in general played
havoc with the program of free and easy
expenditure which return Of the Tiger to
power foreshadowed- Incidentally in pur-
suing this course Coler has made himself
very popular with the people who do not
hold strict allegiance to the Hall. even

After a sojourn of a. month, Queen VIC
toria leaves ireland today. Her stay has
been one of pleasure to herself and of great
qualification to the Irish people. She was
received the day of landing with tumul-
tuous acclaim, and her every public APP
pearance since has been the signal for
hearty manifestations of loyalty and good
will Dublin has been crowded with Wis
itors. and they, together with the residents
ot the city. have carried themselves with a
fine spirit Of respectful enthusiasm toward
the illustrious visitor.
This visit will be chronicled by the his
torian as one OF the most striking and beau
tiful acts in the queens long reign. The
suggestion was her own, and equally her
own has been the manner Of its execution.
Hence the delicate nature of the compli-
nlent TO the Irish people, and the generous
program arranged for expressing 1t. Only
& woman could have fixed upon a method
So gracious Of manifesting appreciation of
Irish valor shown in battle in defense of
the empire. and only a woman fit to be a
sovereign would have ventured at eighty
years upon an experience involving so much
excitement and fatigue.
A word of the highest praise is also due
to the people of Ireland for the manner In
which they have met the queens advances.
The Irish gentleman, in his best estate. Is
the embodiment Of heart and good taste.
He is one of the best living opponents of
genuine chivalry. And the Irish gentle
man has been in the forefront for the Irish
people in all Of these ceremonies. He has

The Snltan'A Strategy.

Abdul Hamid the wary potentate of the
Bosphorus. is playing foxy game. He has
measured the American demands according
to European standards and has decided that
the United States is bluffing. So he agrees
to permit the reconstruction of the de-
stroyed college at Kharput and says no
more about paying the claims of the mis-
sionares. 1t Is said that he has heard a
whisper from st. Petersburg to the effect
that Russia will not allow the United States
to adopt measures of force. He Is thought
therefore to be relying upon his great and
good friend the car to protect him In his
procrastnation. But if SO. he will doubt
less find that there is difference between
the United States applying pressure and
the average European power seeking re-
dress. The United States has no prospec-
| tive share in the division of the effects of
| the Sick Man" This country is not a
possible heir. 1t seeks only present JUS
| tice not future advantage 1t is in posi-
| ton, therefore. to pursue its policy of col
| lecting debts without regard for the peace
| of Europe and with no consideration for
| the feelings of the car or any other power.
| Having no alliances, 1t can transact its
| own business in its own way. Russia may
| of course, apply pressure here to prevent
an effort to hold the sultan to his promises.
But there Is nothing on record to Justify
| Russia in proceeding further than to file a
| protest. The United States does not pro-
| pose to take possession of any Of Turkey 5
| territory. 1t claims no ports. Nothing in
| Its demands possibly interfere with
| whatever program of future division of
spoiis the powers may hold in view con-
| tingent upon the collapse of Turkey. For
| Russia to make the sultan's quarrel its
| own would be the sheerest seeking for
/ trouble. which is by no means to be anuci-
pated from that quarter. 1t is cabled that
| the sultan has ordered admiral to visit
| this country to observe the building of bat
| tleships. Coming just now this is a rather
| amusing proposition, which. however. is not
likely to divert the American attention from
| the main proposition of the claims, which
| are virtually certain now to be collected in
| one manner or another.
