AN ORDINANCE WANTED.
Public Sentiment Strongly in Favor OF Abolish
ing Fireworks on the Fourth.

1t is gratifying to know that our
article in last weeks issue, on the
subject of passing an ordinance to
prohibit the use of frecrackers, re-
volvers and all explosives on July
4th as we'll as every other day in the
year, has struck a popular chord.
So far as we have been able to as
certain everybody is of the same
opinion. Much additional testimony
has been offered by people who saw
exhibitions of rowdyism, brutality
and cowardice on the 4th, and there
is general demand that this thing
be stopped. An ordinance is in
course of preparation, and will soon
be introduced in the council for its
consideration.
Bloomsbury is not the only place
where the abuse fthe privileges of
! Independence Day has called forth
public denunciation. The Lock
Haven Democrat of last week says:
"If all other pleas should fail to
move the authorities to perform
their duty III the suppression Of the
rowdy shooters who make a pan-
demonium of the public thorough
fares on every recurring Fourth Of
July, the plea of humanity in be-
half of the sick ought not to be I'M
availing. The poor sufferers lying
i'll in city houses ought to be pro-
tected; the nerve-racking explosion
of firearms and cannon crackers
under their windows is an inhictior
attended by the most serious an6
possibly fatal consequences. 1t is
a needless cruelty which the toler
ably well ought not to be compelled
to endure; the exposure of the sict
to the same is a crime"

A SUMNER COLONY.
ArbutuS Park Transformed in.
to a Cluster of Pretty
Cottages.
Ideal Spot for an Outing.

Some years ago small building
was erected by w. B. Taylor out at
the Irondale dam, and the place was
christened Arbutus Park. The cott-
age was small, but from its location
on the side hill it commanded a
beautiful view of the pool Of water
formed in Fishing Creek by the
back water from the dam, and of
the surrounding hills. 1t was at
first used as a sort of club house
where fishermen could go to enjoy
the results of their angling, if there
were any results, and where good
meals were served by Mr.. Taylor to
his invited guests. Later on, the
cottage was made more habitable
and attractive and the owner S
family used it as summer home.
About three years ago the prop
erty was purchased by Robert
Vanderslice, Fred Holmes and c.
H. Kline, who proceeded to add to
its attractions by building a new
veranda, painting and other I'M
provements, and the new owners
have spent one of the summer
months there each year since, and
have rented it to other parties at
such times as it was not occupied
by them, during the hot season.
Others lately discovered the beau-
ties of the place and there are now
three other cottages there. l.. N.
Meyer and 7. J. Vanderslice have
erected double building which is
the most pretentious of them all.
DR.. M. J. Hess has also put up a
very neat cottage and Mrs. w. O..
Holmes has one almost completed.
They are all located on the hillside,
above the B. & S. Railroad, among
the trees where the sun rarely reach
es them, and all command charm
ing views. Water pipes are now
being laid from a spring of cold
sparkling water, and all the build
ings will be supplied from this. A
croquet ground has been laid out,
and fishing, boating and bathing
are some Of the amusements in
which the colonists indulge. There
are two boats on the stream now,
and several more will be added this
week.
The embankment made by the
electric light company at the dam
has largely increased the size of the
pool of water, which not only adds
to the beauty Of the view, bu
affords a much larger space fol
rowing. The removal of a Golfer
dam above will enable the boats tc
go up the stream quite a distance
further.
Altogether this is an ideal spo
for summer outing, and the colt
ayers are enjoying it to the fulles
extent. Those who were there las
week were: E. H. Ent and wife
r. F. Vanderslice and family, c
H. Kline and family. T. J. Wander
slice and family, Miss Mary Veal,
of Hazleton, Mrs. Mintie Wilson

PRIVILEGES OF WOMEN.
They Are Not Losing Them as They
Are Gaining Legal and
Other Rights.

Awhile ago a woman pretended to
have a child, in order to secure a for
tune. She was acquitted, but two male
a%ccomplices were convicted. Who had
that child, anyway" shouted a bystand-
er. Time and again women on trial for
murder go free on evidence that would
hang a man, says Golfers Weekly. If a
woman assumes the privilege of walking
up to a window and buying a railway
ticket, while 20 persons wait their turn,
it is an exceptional clerk who will tell
her to take her place at the bottom OF
the line. when lovely woman stoops to
folly" and divorce results, the husband
frequently assumes the guilt. Women
are gaining rights without losing privi-
leges. Men now treat them as equals in
tellectually, but they do not in return
demand social equality for themselves.
They still hold open the door for them
to pass. The part of the Servian tragedy
which aroused most Indignation in this
country was the murder of the m
The cause of this fine treatment is not to
be sought alone in chivalry.
Woman's modern privileges are due
less to her physical weakness than to her
physical charm. A portrait of a pretty
woman sells for more than double the
price of a male portrait by the same mas
ter. Men, walking for pleasure on our
streets, look at the women, and women,
instead of reciprocating, observe their
own sex. Pretty girls are the pervasive
interest on the stage, in the street, in the
illustrated press, in art, or wherever
there is an answer to the public taste.
Whatever may have been true Of other
times or places, the most charming OBJ
ject to an American of to-day is woman's
beauty. The professor and the mar Of
action discuss 1t, as well as the college
boy and the other women. No wonder,
then, that, the rule of force being abol-
ished, this conquering charm subdues
juries and renders docile husbands and
all mankind. The only male who consist
emily resists this fascination is the Judge.
If the evidence were estimated by the
court instead of by the jury, sex sympa-
thy would give place to rigorous equality.
More women would see the scaffold or the
jail, and such a lovely comedy as the
aforementioned trial would be lost to the
annals of human folly. May the spirit
of chivalry flourish forever in the hearts
of male America-but not at the expense
of justice.

Teacher I'm the BackwOods.

At a small school in the backwoods a
well meaning but misguided instructor
gave her pupils the task of subtractine
500 from $50, 7SS 1889 until nothing re-
manned as a home lesson. On the way
from school the children rejoiced at so
easy a requisition, but once at work their
rejoicing was speedily turned to sorrow.
After working for hours without any
perceptible dimunition of the figures the
youngsters gave up in despair. Parents
then tried, but with no better success.
And small wonder. In order to complete
the task the number given would haveto
be subtracted 1,400, 900 times, leaving n
small remainder. Some indignant parent
calculated that, working at the rate of
three subtractions a minute for IL hours
a day, the task given the children for an
evenings exercise would require a little
more than a year and nine months to ac-
complish.-N. Y. Tribune.

LOOKING TO WALL STREET,
The Administration, Through Secre-
tary Shaw, B~Olstering Up the
DepredatOrs.

There is a chance that now the Wall
street pirates are disagreeing and go
ing to law about the disposal of the
swag that the public may have their
eyes opened about the way they have
been swindled. The history of the Or
%ganization of the shipbuilding trust, as
told under oath by one of the BAR
Elephants, is a picture, doubtless, of the
peculiar transactions that have atten$-
ed the organization of numerous other
trusts. The sale of the Bethlehem
Steel company to the shipbuilding trust
was participated in by the kings of
finance in Wall street and the proper
ton of the steal was as gigantic as the
supposed fortunes of the participants.
The public who were swindled by this
gold brick game have only themselves
to blame, for careful inquiry, or, for
that matter, a cursory glance at the
properties included in the corporation,
would have opened the eyes of the
veriest tyro in financial affairs. The
constant warnings sounded for the
past year of the water-logged condition
OF the. stock market by the honest
newspapers of the country should have
prevented their readers from being VIC
timized.
The attempt of the administration
through Secretary Shaw to bolster I'D
Wall street in its depredations OH the
honest investor by pouring millions of
the public money into the favored
banks, which are VIGOROUSLY allied
with Wall street pirates, is beyond be-
lief. II President Roosevelt n his
cabinet did not understand the condi-
tons In the stock market, with all
their sources of knowledge, they are
totally unfit to manage the affairs of
the greatest government on earth. If
they, or Secretary Shaw, were appraised
OF the pitilessly beset plight of the
trust makers and responded to their
cry for help, they must answer for the
objectionable crime to the victims and
to the nation.
Unfortunately Wall street has an in
direct influence on the general BUSH
ness OF the country, and it is much to
be feared that the effect is already
shown In some of the principal indus
tries and that reduced business and
falling wages may be looked for. for a
time at least.

Origin of a Trick.

Mr. Charles Bertram, the famous con-
1urer, says that some Of his best tricks
have been invented as the result Of some
unexpected incident which may not in
itself have been altogether desirable.
Thus, once when he was giving an exhi-
bition at Brighton a trap gave way sud
denly and he disappeared through the
floor of the stage with very unpleasant
results. But the audience took It as
part Of the performance, and later on it
actually became so, Mr.. Bertram term
mating his show by a disappearance in
this way from beneath a sheet.

ANXIOUS ABOUT HANNA.
President Roosevelt Declares for the
Ubiquitous System of the
Ohio Senator.

When President Roosevelt wrote that
letter to Secretary Shaw, approving his
intention to stump Ohio and other
states and congratulated him upon
having the chance to do your share to
secure not merely the triumph, but the
decisive and overwhelming triumph of
Senator Hanna and the cause which he
represents" he took a great step back
ward against the cause of the people.
Flo n who is supposed to be an ar
dent civil service reformer that was
an extraordinary and unusual promul-
cation and might be taken as an in
vitation for all government officials to
abandon their official duties-like Sec
rotary Shaw, and put their entire eff
forts into effecting "the triumph" OF
Hanna or any other republican candi-
dates. We are thus likely to see in the
coming campaign this fall and in the
coming presidential election, the ut
most political activity of the federal
office holders, the very thing that the
civil service reformers are supposed to
be opposed to.
But Hanna and "the cause which he
represents" what is it? He is openly
favoring the ~ship-subsidy steal; and
President Roosevelt was supposed to
be opposed to that iniquitous and
wicked attempt to tax the people for
the beneht of the Morgan steamship
trust.
Another cause which Hanna repre-
sents in Ohio, and elsewhere for that
matter, is the unequal taxation of the
railroads and other trusts and corpor-
ations, so that the farmers and other
tax payers have their property, real
and personal, assessed at over go per
cent. OF its value and the favored cor
porations only pay from 10 to 20 per cent.
Does President Roosevelt favor that
unequal taxation?
Hanna is openly fighting reform of
the tariff and secretly opposing Cuban
reciprocity. Is President Roosevelt in
accord with him on those propositions?
The cause that Hanna represents in
clude many other iniquitous PROPOSE
tons and his well known corruption of
those voters or legislators that money
will buy, to advance his cause, is SO no
torious that it was supposed that Pres
ident Roosevelt favored more clearly
political methods. Unfortunately we
have his written word for it that he is
anxious for the decisive and over
whelming triumph of Senator Hanna
and the cause which he represents.
No other president has ever
espoused such a cause before; they
have been wise enough to abstain from
openly recording their approval of dis
reputable causes that some of their
partisans have maintained.

Such is the reverence in India for GER.
tain birds and beasts that wealthy Hin

lums are decorated and feted by natives,
who travel long distances for the priv
ilege. One of the established sights OF

overcomes the rs per cent. advance they

News-Democrat.
Mr.. Roosevelt is quoted as being In
favor of a currency commission" This
plan has two merits, viewed from the e.
o. p. standpoint. While the people are
watching the commission the financiers
may slyly push through their little
scheme, and the commission affords fat
places for a few party pensioners.-The

Naturally MI. Shaw, being secre-
tary Of the treasury, would be expected
to talk about the finances. There is,
though, to be no legislation on the
finances at the coming session Of con-
gress. So Mr.. Shaw talks about the
tariff. But there is to be no tariff legis-
lation, either. Mr.. Shaw should take for
a topic the weather or the fall styles in

the south coast of England in Queen
Elizsbeth's reign the duke Of Medina
Sfdonia, admiral of the armada, was

cumbe, a beautiful mansion, viewed
from the sea, that "he resolved it for
his own possession, in the partage Of
the kingdom, which the Spaniards pre-
conquered in their hopes and expec-
tation." But as the author quantity OBJ
