Concerning recent opening at Mid

The Columbia Coal and Coke company a
new organization at Midland, has leased from
the Consolidation Coal company the coal pro-
perty lying between Ocean and the old Miller
mine property, AMI has already opened a
mine about midway between Miller and Mid
land on the northern side of the line of track
which formerly connected the National"
mine with the Cumberland and PENNSYLVANIA
railroad, but which track has teen torn up
for IA number Of years, or since HitchinS Bros
worked out their mine. Preparation for ship
ments of coal from the new mine is beng
pushed rapidly as possible, and the track will
he re-laid on the old road bed to connect again
with the Cumberland and Pennsylvania rail
road, over which coal will be shipped.
w. a. Somerville of this place; Uriah

time during the holidays, and to the
further fact that this organization de-
serves the most liberal patronage Of the
people.
Any girls going to the fair with eyes
on the main chance are also informed
that a fireman who understands his duty
as we'll as the Pennsylvania referred to
in the outset of this item, will be very
apt to make also dutiful, faithful, i'll
dustrious husband. If lie runs from the
altar to Il fire, wait-he'll come back.
The fair Will be opened this Saturday
evening, the Homecoming COrnct Band
according the Firemen the honor of
first night" attendance. The depart
meur, i'll full uniform, will meet and re-
ccive the band at the depot.
The third story hall has been nicely
arranged for the occasion.
After this evening the hall will not be
opened again until next Saturday even
ing. 23d inst, and thence continuous
run of eight more evenings except Sun
days until january 1, inclusive.
Many attractions invite attendance
and patronage. Outside of these the
Firemen'S claims upon the town should
warrant the generous encouragement of
all the people.

Challenge for Plans.

The securing for an abundant supply of
water should be the issues at the next NUM-
cipal election. -Fornnt.
Quoted precisely as printed.
Yet one can see that the burial-vat
and tan-vault organ wants to convert the
need of more water into some sort of
merit for IL Mayor and Council of its
own making.
But what does the Forunt propose:
Rather-ho" does it propose the
securing for an abundant supply of
water:'
Does it want the people to vote for
1.-THE securing for an abundant supply of
water"
Is it not satisfied with the artpsian
well plan of securing for an abundant
supply of water?'
And as that plan for 1.-THE securing for
an abundant supply of water" was not
made ''the issues" at municipal
election" why is it wanted for the issues
at the next municipal election 2"
In short, is the For"m dissatisfied with
the current Council?
If not, why can't the F6r"m depend
upon the current Council for more
artesian wells "for the securing for an
abundant supply of water without
bothering the people about it, as has been
the case for two years?
At any rate, if the town is to be carried
again !" tie HaH,e Of purity, the official
head of the party-the State committees
man, without whimpering il word about
terra-cOttl supplies, should bring for
ward "A party plum for "thc securing for
an abundant supply of water and II
party JIdH for raising the money for 1.-THE
securing for an abundant supply of
water" without reducing any other fund
than that given by the county for ex-
pcnditurc ON annex streets.
As is well known, the JOURNAL is in
possession of "A better, cheaper and surcr
plan than the FOrUm can devise-a plan
that need not be made an isSue--or. if so
made, one that no taxpayer of any party,
in his right mind, can vote against.

Fine Goods Displays.

The front windows on Union street
never looked prettier, and store interiors
are glittering reminders to all people

Many merchants, it is true, do not
think enough of their displays and the
materials with which they are made to
advertise them, yet here is unstinted
praise for at least one exhibition of de-
sire, otherwise unspoken, to have pco-
pie come, see and buy

 Bishop Williams, who died recently, left most of his books and his money to the Berkeley Divinity school, Mid dletown. It was noted at the time that, in spite of the simplicity of his way of living and his ample salary, he had only about $20,000 invested; his unos- tentatious liberality, including many gifts for the assistance of his students, had nearly exhausted each year all he had to spend. Not long after, however, his executors found that for many years he had on deposit in national bank, without interest, more than $10,- 00o Presumably this amount had been deposited and forgotten. It was often suggested to him that he was giving too freely to the poor, but he always replied that he was obeying Gods man. date.
