Regular Session Held Last Night
City Attorney Worten is Eligible
Street RAILWAY Ordinance Referred-Coun-
cImen Can Get Extra Pay, Say the
Aldermen.
AN ADJOURNED MEETING THIS EVENING

The regular meeting of the board o.
aldermen was held last night at thu
CITY hall with all the members pres
ent.
After the usual preliminaries Presi
dent Noble stated that the question Of
whether or not City Attorney worter
was eligible to the position on acooun,
of his being vice president of the
News Democrat had been raised, but
that his decision was that Mr.. worter
is eligible, as he was elected under
the third class charter and not the
second. Under the second class char
ter he would not be eligible.
Attorney worten was present and
said he would sell his stock in the pa.
per in few days.
Mayor Yeiser suggested that the
street railway franchise ordinance be
referred TO committee as section
STIMULATING that the franchise as ex-
tended pursuant to the request Of the
company may be sold to no one else,
is unconstitutional President Noble
ssid he would appoint committee to
report on it at an adjourned meeting
this evening.
Chairman Boone, of the finance
committee, read the bills. and stated
that there was some trouble about the
pay to councilmen for called meetings.
The increase in firemen's salaries was
refused because they were appointed
to Office under the third class charter,
but the council claimed pay under the
second class charter.
Attorney worten attempted to make
the point that the salary was not in
creased under his decision, as the
charter authorizes only one meeting a
month, the same as before. President
Noble informed him that there were
two meetings provided for. There is
state law which says that the "srl-
airy" shall not be increased. and an
other which says the compensation"
shall not be increased.
Alderman Boone moved that the
counoilmen not be allowed pay for
called sessions.
One alderman said he did not think
the councilmen were entitled TO pay
but that if the attorney thought they
were he would vote for it,
All voted against the motion to re-
fuse pay except Mr.. Boone.
The regular bills and payroll were
allowed.
Alderman Grief wanted the matter
OF paying the fremen under the pro-
visions OF the second class charter re-
ferred to the mayor for an opinion,
but was induced to Withdraw by
Mayor 1eiser, who said the fremen
We're privileged to bring in an appeal.

Bruin at a Ball.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 Hazleton, Pa.-South Heberton, twelve miles from here, has just gone through an exciting experience with a tame bear, until recently the property of Hugh Mall loy who bought the animal from a circus.
 The bear behaved well while in Nal loys care, but the latter had no particu- lar use for Bruin, so he was disposed of to William Gallagher, a Councilman, who owns a saloon. Gallagher fasr week hau a shooting match for the bear which was won by Henry Krause, a tavern keeper at South Heberton. Krause chain ed the bear in his barn, where he had intended to keep 1t until summer He conducted a dance at his place Saturday night, but the music disturbed the bear. and, breaking his chain, Bruin entered the dance hall on his hind legs. Cor stable Ludwig and Lorah Schwabe. l. of the dancers. attempted to get hold of the part of the chain the bear dragged but they were knocked down and rem dered unconscious The animal then att tackled Krause, who, with Winchester killed the intruder.

 Some speculation exists as to the reno vation of the coronation chair. Before the coronation of Queen Victoria there was an expressed wish that this chair should be restored to something like its pristine beauty, and hope again prevails that the present year may see something done. In the jubilee year the modern might be done for the coronation. This chair has suffer ed so much from mutila- ti.)n that one wishes Edward l. had car ried out his original idea and made it of bronze It is improbable that school boy would then have been able to carve on it the legend, "P Abbott slept in this chair, July, 1S00."
 For many coronations it has been the custom to cover the chair with a cloth of gold. but ancient drawings and the remains of it's fine work show that at one time it required no such clothing Its excellent workmanship is a credit to Wal ter of Durham, who finished it in 1301,' and was paid according to the wardrobe ac- counts of Edward I. 100 shillings for it's manufacture, with a further sum of 13s 4d for carving. painting and gliding the leopards. A little later Master Walter was paid e1 19s I'd for making step at the foot of the new chair. in which is the stone from Scotland, in pursuance of the order of the king" The present step, like the lions. Is modern.

Under the Divine Wings.

My text has it's strongest application for people who were born in the country, wherever you may now live, and that Is the majority of you. You cannot hear my text without having all the rustic scenes of the old farmhouse come back to you. Good old days they were. You knew nothing much of the world for you had not seen the world. By law or association you cannot recall the breeding hen and her chickens without seeing also the barn and the haymow and the wagon shed and the house and the room where you played and the fireside with the big backlog before which you sat and the neighbors and the burial and the wedding and the deep snowbanks and hear the village bell that called you to worship and seeing the horses which, after pulling you to church, stood around the old clapboarded meeting house and those who sat at either end of the church pew and, indeed, all the scenes of your first fourteen years, and you think of what you were then and of what you are now, and all these thoughts are aroused by the sight of the old hencoop. Some of you had better go back and start again. In thought return to that place and hear the chuck and see the outspread feathers and come under the wing and make the Lord your portion and shelter and warmth, preparing TOT every lHlIB that may come and so avoid being class ed among those described by the closing words of my text, "as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not" An, that throws the respon- siblity upon us. "Ye would not" Alas for the would nots," If the wandering broods of the farm heed not their moth CTS call and risk the hawk and dare the freshet and expose themselves to the frost and storm. surely their calamities are not the mothers fault. "Ye would not!" God would, but how many would not?
 When a good man asked a young wo- man who had abandoned her home and who was deploring her wretchedness why she did not return. the reply was; T dare not go home. My father is so pro- voked he would not receive me home.' Then" said the Christian man, "I will test this" And so he wrote to the fla ther, and the reply came back. and in letter marked outside Immediate" and inside saying. Let her come at once; all Is forgiven" So Gods invitation for you Is marked Immediate" on the out side, and inside it is written, "He will abundantly pardon" Oh, ye wanderers from God and happiness and home and heaven, come under the sheltering wing.
