OUT OF POLITICS.
"a bill could be passed by the Legis-
lature authorizing the city to accept the
hospital under deed of gift. The bill
should provide that the institution will
be governed by board of managers to
be elected by the contributors. Then we
would be able to have a hospital that
would be absolutely free from the influ-
ence of politicians
DR.. McGill is still greatly amused over
the desperate efforts of the City Hospital
Trustees to purge themselves of contempt
of court by surrendering the management
of the hospital after seizing it in def
ance of Supreme Court order to keep
their hands off pending decision in the
certiorari proceedings begun by DR.. Nc
Gill.

Picnic Parks.

Monday is Labor Day for everybody.
Some will labor to enjoy themselves and
others will labor to provide enjoyment
for their more fortunate fellows. In
that latter class are the railroad people,
trolley companies, those who have pleas
ure parks. steamboats,, horses, wagons,
and automobiles, and since everybody
will need refreshment, the businss done
in both solid and liquid eomestibles will
be past finding out.
The town made article will not want
to go to the seashore or the mountains.
The Reubens and Samanthays will come
in the city with mouths open, gaining
information as oysters gain their pearls,
by gaping. All that everybody prays for
is a fine day, and since the clerk of the
weather says there will be showers it is
safe to assume it will be a glorious sun
shiny, breezy, bracing, healthful and in
figorating day.
DEPOTS JAAIMED.
Already the signs of a general exodus
have been seen in the railroad depots.
Last night and this morning the Penn
sylyania, d. L. & W.; Central and Erie
depots were jammed with papas and
mammas and youngsters, anticipating
fun somewhere, young fellows with
smart dress suit cases and young ladies'
with them, too, all bound for somewhere.
Special trains here and special trains
there have been arranged and at cheap
rates, removing every excuse for stay
ing in town on Labor Day.
There's not picnic park in the Coun-
ty which hasn't somebody's association
celebrating its two thousand and oneth
annual picnic, and what with games and
contests, prizes and other things, there
will surely be something doing here and
