up over Mr.. Stuart's victory and his
tones betrayed it. Mr.. Stuart defended
his course and reputation vigorously,
and the alteration had proceeded so
far that the terms applied were get
ting dangerously close to the line
where dignity is dropped, when some
one took Mr.. Roberts arm and led
him away. The two debaters were

electric road system in Easton, spent
Faster Sunday In this city and was
greeted most cordially by his many old
friends. The line of which he now
has charge has been greatly improved
IN the past year, fully $l50,000 having
been expended in bettcrments. Speak
ing of Easton's refusal to accept Mr..
Carnegie's offer OF s5O,C0O for library
building for that city. Mr.. Flynn said:
Most of the residents of Easton are
up in arms over the act of the coun-
ellis. The rejection grew out of petty
jealousy AMI spite existing among
some of the city fathers, who have
been roundly denounced in many
quarters. All progressive people will
sec the benefit and advantage 1t is
to a town to have a fine library. Such
an institution is u thing for everyone
to he proud Of. If Carbondale has
been made an offer by Mr.. Carnegie, it
should be taken up at once, Us such
chances come very seldom in the his
tory of q town."
