TelreSS MARKET.
The story of the Austrian Count
Monnch, who is being sued by syn
dicate of money lenders to recover
money advanced to him to enable
him to marry fortune, should, but
probably will not. open the eyes of
rich Americans whose daughters are
wooed by foreign noblemen.
1t does not seem to be denied that
the loan was made for the distinct
purpose of matrimonial speculation;
the defense is that the money was
borrowed to enable the count to mar
ry 4 certain lady, whereas that lady,
not being an American heiress, re-
fused him and he had to look else
where.
The point is that he deliberately
set out to marry fortune, and, nav
ing failed in Europe. turned his at
tention to the United States, where
he succeeded.
There Is no particular occasion for
regret or sympathy on either side.
The count won a fortune with his
bride; the lady bought a title with
her husband; both got what they
wanted.
But such proceedings are disgrace
full from the American point of view,
which contemplates love as an essen
tial element of marriage. They are
an oftense to the American sense of
honor, and all true Americans are
ashamed of them-Philadelp In

we do not expect the impossible, off

are, they had better retire to the lots

FROM THE FIRST WARD.

Memorial day was celebrated in ne
cordance with the programme. We
notice the ranks growing thinner each
year, and soon these old veterans will
all be extinct, and the glorious grand
army will be no more. These men
represented one of the grandest arm
les that was ever martialed upon this
or any other continent, and many of
them carry the marks and wounds of
the severe struggles which they pass
ed through in the dark days of the re-
bellion. The pensioning of these old
vets has always been practical con
troversy, and now while | have the
spare time, wish to present II few fig

Soon the glorious Fourth of July

seems like back number. In years
gone-by the town of IambertYille al
ways celebrated the day with appro-
pirate ceremonies, had public speak
ing, and the band to enliven the oeca-
sion, but now all those who wish to
enjoy this national holiday must
leave town, as about all the reminder
we have of this Independence day is
the usual display of fire water.

two games played last week.
Thursdays affair, when Black $ Cam
den Club made its appearance, was de-
cidedly ragged. The locals apparent
ly had a first-class case of fright, "
and they performed accordingly. Cam
den, no doubt, would have won even
if our error list was nought, as they
secured eighteen hits, which is suffi-
cient to win two average games.
Jordan twirled good game, except
in the fourth inning, when he was
touched mp rather lively. Jakeman
was hit hard and often. Verga, the
third baseman, securing five of the
bunch of swats, credited to his col
leagues.
The attendance was very good, and
it is hoped the Thursday games will be
so we'll patronized that it will not be
necessary to cancel them.

June Meeting of Common Council.

mon Council was held Friday evening
June 5th. All the members were pre-
sent, and President Solliday called
the meeting to order at 8 o'clock.
The first matter brought up was a
request from the Union. Fire Co., ask
ing to be given release from a debt
contracted some thirty years ago. 1t
seems that at the time, the city loaned
the company thousand dollars, and
some years later, similar loans were
granted other fire companies. When
the Union got its loan. it gave the city
hose, which was its exclusive property,
and the understanding was that it
would be taken in lieu of the debt.
The records of the Company which
should contain record of the trans
action were destroyed in the fire at the
7. X r. shops, having been kept there
by Mr.. Jones who was the secretary of
the Union Fire Co. at that time.
Mr.. c. A. Skillman and Mr.. j. l..
Coryell, who were members of the fire
company at that time, gave their opin-
ion of the matter, and stated that it
was the understanding that the above
agreement was made but were unable
to find any record of it.
1t WAS finally disposed of by the
council, i'll their referring the claim to
tha finonoa oopnpn ittaa CO.. ,nvo,t;ro
ton, and also to include the matter of
the other loans.
An ordinance WAS passed upon, to
prevent the pollution of cutters in
front of residences, as some of our cit
lZens have very cnrelessly done and
In warm weather creating nuisance,
besides the unsanitary conditions like
ly to be produced
When the ordinance relating to the
manner of conducting places licensed
for the sale of Intoxicating liquors was
passed upon, quite discussion en-
sued. The trouble arose from the fact
that one of our hotel proprietors has
a license for pool table, and the
question was as to whether the ordi-
nance should not include the closing
of the pool room as well as the bar, at
II o'clock. Mr.. Bovine finally offered
an amendment to the section, so as to
include the pool table.
The third section of the ordinance
forbids games of all kinds. Here it
was found that once more the pool
table had not been considered. MIR.
that the words excepting pool where
same has been regularly licensed, :"
should be introduced in the section.
and this overcoming the difficulty was
passed.
The final business was the request
presented by the Board of Engineers,
asking the council to appropriate $50,
to pay the expense of band, ON the
occasion of the annual inspection.
Mr.. Bovine thought that the state of
the finances of the city would hardly
warrant an appropriation, as the city
WIS already borrowing money.
Mr.. Guillick gave his opinion that
the city could stand the twenty dollars
without any serious results. 1t was
finally put to vote and the request
was granted.
There was nothing done with the
automobile restrictions as the State
has already passed law covering the
matter, and the only thing the council
need do is to see that the law is not
violated.
Council then adjourned to meet the
1st of July.
