The Christmas (December) num-
ber of the Delineator is also the Thrift
eth anniversary number. To do JUS
tice to this number, which for beauty
and utility touches the highest mark,
it would be necessary to print the en-
tire list Of contents. 1t is sufficient to
state that in it the best modern writers
and artists are generously represented.
The book contains over 230 pages,
with "a fullpage illustrations, of
which 20 are in two or more colors.
The magnitude of this December num-
Der, for which 72S tons of paper and
six tons of ink have been used, may
be understood from the fact that 81
presses running IA hours day, have
been required to print it; the binding

There is a demand for labor here
this fall that has not been experienced
for years. Farmers are having trou.
BILE in getting their corn husked, wood
choppers and haulers are not equal to
the demand, carpenters are having
more work offered than they can do
and all tradesmen are busy and no
laborer who wants to work is idle.
The continued rains, bringing damp
ness and mud has retarded corn geth-
ering as well as all other fall work, of
which there is an unusual amount
this season. Corn is turning out well
making from sixty-five to seventy-fve.
bushels to the acre.

MUNICIPAL WATER
GETS ANOTHER BLOW
Judge G.. s. Halsey Dismisses the
Exceptions to His Original
Opinion in the Case.

Judge G. s. Halsey, of Luzerne coun-
ty, yesterday filed an opinion with Pro-
thonotary John Copeland, in the case OF
Earl N. Peck, Frank Hollenback, Ell
f. Hendrick, Andrew Mitchell, Alfred
p. Trautwein and the Delaware and
Hudson company, taxpayers, the Crys-
tai Lake Water company, Fall Brook
and Newton Water company, the Lack
awanna Valley Water Supply COM
pany and the Consolidated Water Sup
ply company against the City Of Car
bondale, and John w. Fitzpatrick, May
or and Nicholas L. Moon, city clerk Of
CarbOndale.
The matter considered were excep-
tions to the findings and decree nisi
of the court with reference to estab-
fishing municipal water plant in
Carbondale. The opinion follows:
We have gone very carefully over the
Noluminous exceptions filed to our find
ings and decree in this case. The hear
ing covered a very wide latitude in in
vestigating the contention of the plain
tiffs and the answer of the defendants.
We examined as closely as possible the
facts adduced from the testimony, and
reached our conclusions only after very
careful consideration of the testimony.
Having determined our findings of fact.
we examined carefully the argument of
counsel upon the one side and the other,
as to the application of the rules of law
and fact, and after such consideration
our conclusions were reached.
Since the coming in of the exceptions.
we have gone over the case again, taking
into consideration the argument of coun-
sci representing the exceptions and the
briefs submitted and we are unable to
change the conclusion reached on the re-
port as filed. We are therefore con-
strained to dismiss the exceptions filed
and to confirm nisi the finding made by
us in our report filed Jan. 2S. 1902.
The exceptions are all overruled and
the decree nisi confirmed.
The original opinion was against the
municipal water plant. The opinion Of
yesterday settles the matter in this
court. An appeal can be taken to the
higher court.

"This doesn't look very much like a

f. II. Clemons of the Seventeenth
ward entered the room, at the same
instant as the gentle patter Of foot
steps could he heard descending the
steps leading to the corridor and Coun-
Gilman John p. Qunnan and Thomas
OBoyle hastened to join a group at
the doof.
There's whole knot of them
down at the door" remarked Mr..
Clemons. Bring them up and well
have our quorum. We only need two
men," There was a murmured con-
sultation among the faithful men. and
then some one remarked: Move we
adjourn

other voice, and an instant later the
council chamber was clear of all save
Clerk Lavelle. The councilmen present

A Point to Insist On,

There are endless numbers of travel
ing people who go regularly from New
York to Chicago and vice versa several
times month, who have never gone
over any other road but the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, because
this road is good enough for them. It's
good enough for anybody, the fastest,
safest, most convenient and most COM
Portable road in America. Once Won
travel over the Lake Shore and you will
not want to experiment with any other
road. People who know the comforts
and discomforts of travelling. and what
they have right to expect. always
insist on their tickets reading by way
OF the Lake Shore. So should you. ..
