Street Paying Act.

The Legislature passed an act, which
was signed by Gov. w. A. Stone on 10Th
ult., and Is now law, authorizing
town councils TO pay portion of the
cost and expense Of grading, curbiug
and paving sidewalks. The act reads
rs follows
"Be IL enacted by the Senate and
House Of Representatives Of the Com
monweath OF Pennsylvania, In General
Assembly met, and IL is hereby enacted
by the authority Of the same, That
the town councils Of the several bor-
oughs In this State may In their dis
erection pay portion of the cost and ex-
penses of grading and curblng land paw.
ing) sidewalks"
We believe the time is coming when
boroughs will pay all expense of build.
ing and repairing sidewalks. That is
the way sidewalks should be kept up
"A certain number Of mills should be ad-
ded TO occupation tax TO pay for the
building and repairing Of sidewalks. IL
is generally the people who do not own
property and do not pay anything to-
wards building sidewalks that howl the
loudcst when the walks are not kept in
good repair. Every person that lives
In a town should be given the privilege
of contributing TO the expense of keep
ing good sidewalks along all the streets
When tho time comes that the bor-
oughs have this matter to look after
there will be no more wooden pave
ments built-it will either be brick or
cement.

lmpudent Chaps.

What is known as tho Little Ger
man Band" made its annual visit to
Reynoldsvillc last week and, II we have
not been misinformed, they are very
impudent when they do not get money
after playing. They travel around the
streets and play and then seem to think
that people are compelled to contribute
literally when the hat is passed around.
We understand that they got very saucy
several places where ladies did not give
them money. The band plays good music
but they should be taught TO know that
people don't have to give them any
money unless they want to- When
people hire them to play they can then
demand pay for it, but when they
play without being requested to do so,
they should be gentlemen enough to
take what is given them without being
impudent.

How to Deal With Professional Beg

were made a vice president OF one OF

many calls from professional beggars
and tramps, whom We thought 1t well
to test before sending them to the
charity building. So we put In one OF
our Office drawers large bag OF gra-

pure cold water, we offered each appll-

will not bear repeating, but we never
found it necessary to buy second bag.
When in Italy, where professional
beggars swarmed, when they surround

take off our own hat and hold it out to
them, and frequently they would laugh
and let us alone. But II they became
too troublesome we would put on a
stern look and give them, in loud

At that time we wore no beard, had
