FAv0Rs THE WHIPPING POST

Major D. W. Jefferies of Chester advo-
Gates the whipping post for tramps, lie
says: 'The professional tramp Is a public
nuisance that has long been tolerated.
To my mind, one of the best remedies
would be the whipping post, and little
heroic treatment of that sort would have
a beneficial effect on these roadsters.
They toll not, neither do they spin, and
when they wont work they should not
be allowed to eat at the expense OF those
who do. Women and children are most
ANNOYED bv these fellows, but women
are kinder and more considerate than
men as a rule, and seldom turn the tramp
away from their doors. We arrest them
when they become too troublesome and
send them to jail; but they do not seem
to mind that, and it puts the county to
an expense, and when they are turned
loose they pursue the same even tenor
Of their way, fatter, but no wiser, and
with the same tired feeling that charac-

new YEAR SERVICES.
Rosh Hashonnah Celebrated at Syn
agagues Last Night-Air of
Sadness Pervaded Services.

Services were held in all the syna =
cugues Of the city last night in cele-
hratiun of the beginning of the great
Jewish holiday, ROsh Hashonnah az
New Year. At the Linden street tenn
pie the services We're attended by a
congregation which taxed to the ut
most the seating capacity Of the struc-
ture. Rev A. :. Anspacher was in
charge of the services and preached
an interesting sermon.
This great Hebrew festival is re-
Shrded the world over in Jewish house
holds as day of mirth and enjoyment,
of pleasure and freedom from care.
But there was little of that feeling OF
blithneSS apparent i'm the Linden
street temple last night. The shadow
of the nations great sorrow hung over
the place of Worship and feeling of
depression and gloom prevailed the air.
During the early part of the services,
as each fresh group Of worshippers en-
tered the temple anxious queries were
whispered them as they passed up the
aisle, regarding the latest bulletins and
the news they conveyed Of President
McknloN'S condition, and each sue
rCcding report deeprned the feeling of
universal sorrow.
Services will hc resumed at the tenn
pie at /" o'clock Tins morning.

WAY THE SAD NEWS
WAS RECEIVED HERE
Great Crowds Read the Bulletins
Displayed in Front of The Trib-
une Office Last Night.

If the scene presented in this city
last night when the news that PreSi-
dent Mckinley was dying was filtering
its way into the consciousness of our
citizens, was duplicated in the other
cities of this country, and IL undoubt-
cdly was. then the statesman was right
who said that in no country on earth
is there such a respect and love for
the nations ruler as in the United
States.
When the first news of the presidents
relapse came in the early morning the
public did not take it very seriously.
The citizens at large had been buoyed
up so by the favorable reports which
had come from the sick room ever since
the shooting that it was hard to get
them to believe that the relapse was
serious one.
The bulletins issued during the after
noon telling of improvement tended to
settle any fear which might have
arisen but when word came at o'clock
that "the president is dying there
seemed to be "A general change in the
public mind and the presidents condi-
ton began to be seriously discussed.
The crowd around the Tribune office
began to increase at this time and
| when 7:30 o'clock arrived there We're
nearly 500 people waiting for the Asso-
| ciated Press bulletins which were being
posted every few minutes as they came
| from the wire.
The crowd soon grew to larger pro-
portion until at . o'clock there We're
upwards of 200 persons in the crowd.
| Each bulletin was eagerly scanned as
| hI n
one told that the presidents condI-
| tion was becoming worse and worse
the curiosity turned into sorrow and
deep sympathy.
| 1t was an orderly crowd and quiet
one. 1t numbered among its numbers
some of the most prominent men in
| the city, both Democrats and Republi-
cans. Party lines were forgotten and
all joined in the expression of one
| common sorrow. The slightest attempt
on the part of anyone to laugh or joke
was frowned down by those standing
around the offender. Many women who
scanned the bulletins burst into tears
| There We're several in the crowd
who remained from o'clock until after
midnight, watching the bulletins and
| waiting patiently for one that might
| give ray ol Holt' Ipul lHdl one
| didn't come.
on all the street corners and in the
lobbies of the hotels were gathered
| little knots of men discussing the sit
uation and telling one another of theiI
{, ep respect and love for the man with
the kindly face who was lowering on
tn, border land of the valley of death
out there on Delaware avenue In Buff
| falo. There was an absence Of the
gayety and lightness of talk which is
always so prevalent on the streets
Of this city.
| When the final bulletin was posted
this morning at go announcing that
| the president had died at 2.15, there
were still n number of persons in front
of The Tribune Office who received the
announcement with manifestations o
the most general grief.

In the hearing of the Carbondale
water works case before Judge Hal
sey. yesterday, the plaintiffs spent
most Of the day I'm attempting to show
that the city had entered into such
contractual relations with the plaintiff
water companies as to exhaust any
right it ever may have had to con-
struct a water works of its own.
There are half a dozen decisions by
the Supreme court to the effect that
II a city by its patronage induces a
water company to extend us works
and particularly If It enters into con-
tracts with the company which en-
courage the company to expend con-
siderable money in perfecting a water
system, the city Is barred from there
after entering into competition with
the company.
In an effort to prove that n condi-
| tion existed In Carbondale warrantng
| the application OF these rulings. the
plaintiff companies put in evidence the
minutes of councils and their own ac-
| count books, covering a period of a
| long term of years, by which IL was
| shown that the city has been in CON
slant contract with the companies for
| a supply of water for its hydrants and
| public buildings, and that at frequent
| intervals. the city caused the company
to extend its mains to supply newly
| erected hydrants.
Before entering upon this line o
testimony the plaintiffs put In some
