P. Collins-Street Improvements
Recommended and Adopted by
Se1ect Council

There was a change made last night
in the board of health nominations
presented by Mayor O'Neil. At the
special meeting of select council. the
mayor sent the name of Patrick Harte
of the Dundaff section, in place of
John p. Collins. who has declined the
nomination made Il couple of weeks
ago
The nomination of Mr.. Harte was
referred to committee by Chairman
Davis, without any comment. The
other names are still in the hands of
the committee. AS indicated in The
Tribune few days ago, no action was
taken with reference to the appoint
ments.
The street improvements which will
be carried out this year We're recon-
mended to councils last night and were
adopted by select council. These i'm
provements We're observed by the
joint street committees of councils on
its inspection of the city's streets last

The most important recommended
are four sewers. The first is> across
Belmont street. in the vicinity of the
silk MILL This is Il spot that has need
ed draining badly for years and after
every overflow it has been source
of trouble and expense. One-third of
the cost will be borne by the Klots
company, several Of the Fell township
property owners, who will benefit by
the improvement will contribute to
the cost and the city will settle for the
balance.
Another sewer will be laid on Bel
mont street. from Clark avenue to
MaXwelfs corner. Another sewer will
be constructed along Terrace street.
from Ninth to Eight avenues. This is
Il place where a deal Of damage has
already been done after many IL, heavy
rainfall. The other which at present
empties into Russell park will be con-
tnued for some distance emptying into
a small sized creek, where no damage
will result.
The recommendations also call for
cross-walks, ditchng and crowning
and many minor repairs throughout
the city.

ance on third reading was the only

"THE NEW STAR"

Professor Wnslow Upton, in Providence Journal
A little over year ago the most re-
markable New or Temporary star Oh
modern times appeared in the consteila-
ton Perseus. The star was not III any
catalogue, and two days before dlscoV-
ery it was not bright enough TO ne
shown on Photographic plate or the
region containing stars Which nave
hut one one-hundredth of the light CIV

the naked eye. On February 20, TWO
days after discovery, 1t reached lts
greatest brightness, when II was as
bright as Capella, the third star IN Or

it changed color from white to duil RED,
and is now somewhat greenish IN TINT.
The spectrum was at first continuous
such as is given by the light from IA
glowing solid OF liquid body or from II
gas under pressure, then bright bands
were formed, which later assumed the
form and position of the bands In the
spectra of nebulae. All these changes
were expected as they followed closely
the history of similar stars In recent
years.
But within few months most uneN-
pected and startling changes have
occurred which have made the star once
more the chief object of interest in the
sky. The nebula which surrounds the
star, or into which the star has beene
changed, has been successfully photo
graphed at several observatorles which
are equipped with telescopes of great
mower. and 1t contains several centres
of condensation whose positions are
shifting SO rapidly that their motion
can be detected in photographs taken

is 1T TRUE, KONESDALE?
Some Maple City Sports Inform US
That They Have No Team-Tell Us
It's Not So,

A meeting of the base ball enthusiasts
will be held this evening. A captain
and manager will be elected and other
business transacted. If arrangements
can be made the first game of the sea-
son will be played at Athletic Park
on May 3O.-Honesdale correspondent,
Scranton Truth
From what we have learned this
year about Honesdale's base ball en-
thusiasts and her base ball team, we
would say that advertising in this way
for enthusiasts is about as effective a
means, under the circumstances, as
any, to work up interest enough in the
chestnut borough to warrant a team
putting on suits as representatives of
the Maple city.
1t really Jared us the other day when
we were informed by some Honesdale
sport that there was no base ball team
in Honesdale. We We're hopeful of a
game with the mighty Maple city play
ers, for the honors, alone, of playing
with them, even if our excited heads
be lowered to the dust of the base ball

couraging when the Honesdale young
men, and they are active in Maple
city sports, informed us that they
knew of no team that Honesdale had
this year. Shame on you, Honesdale
correspondents. if you have been
kidding us and woe be to you IL you
have disappointed our hopes of the
honor of Il game with you. We pray
once more that it is not so that you
have deceived us and we pray all the
harder that the challenge the Cres-
cents manager mailed to Honesdale II
few days ago will be given some favor

deed be overfowing when the honor
will be ours of playing with the mighty
Honesdale tigers.
The Wayne Independent of the fore
part of this week has an article which
confirm our worst fears. 1t says in
answer to the challenge from the Cres-
cents that a team in HOnesdale is not
II possibility this season: that en-
thusiasm is wanting, that the ball
grounds are in the land of nowhere,

won't have the opportunity TO make us
take the rear seat that your staff COR
respondents so generously pointed out
to US. Too bad, again that we won't
have the honor of playing with your

Queer isn't it, how such a base ball
team, such as this one can go out of
business so quickly in such a lively,
up-to-date place as Honesdale? Queer,
it is, no mistake.
