THE HOLY CITY.

A really unique production is that
made by Gordon & Bennett in 1.-The
Holy City," The piece is drama
tization of the Biblical story of John
the Baptist. 1t is now in its second
season and has enjoyed the most
marked success wherever it has
been seen. The list of characters

sight, astonishing for it includes

Pontius Plate; Joseph of Arima-
thea; Peter and John the disciples;
Judas the traitor; Herodias, queen
OF Galilee; Salome; Elizabeth,
mother of John and Mary Magde-
line.

QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER.

Among the notable attractions
soon to appear in Bloomsbury is
the quaint play OF New England
life Quincy Adams Sawyer"
which is now in its fourth season of
unqualified success. 1t is drama
tized from the great novel of that
name and of which upwards of
200, 900 copies have been sold. 1t
is as sweetly natural as the breath
OF the fields, and it may be said
with sincerity that no play has
more o. the qualities which appeal
to the popular fancy without in tin
least diverging from what is whole
some and good. Opera House Mon

STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT WRIT.
Continued from Ist page

Water Company should also not be
held responsible for the muddy
water that at first comes from an
open plug. 1t is certainly beyond
the power of any management 10
provide clear water at once from a
newly opened fire r!ag.
Some comment has also been
made about neglect to turn on
special fire pressure at the recent
ere. This, too, it would seem, is a
structure by some person who knows
very little about the mechanical eud
of the water plant. The subject
cannot be discussed here further
than to say, that special pressure in
the low lying parts of town has not
been used for eighteen years or
more. About everything would 90
to pieces if it were done.
The plugs are invariably flushed
once month during eight months
OF the year. If they were flushed
during the winter months they
would not drain out and then freeze
and burst. 1t is absolutely unsafe
to do it during the cold months of
the winter.
In every instance of flushing
there has never been a plug that
refused to flow properly. If they
freeze they burst or break. There
can be no frozen up plugs as has
been claimed.
Muddy water at first, as said, cam
not be avoided. The Water Com
pany takes every precaution to give
clear water for fires. A filter is
drawn from, the water screened at
the reservoir, and the plugs are
flushed as frequently as necessary.
There may be fire plugs on private
property that have not been flushed
by the Water Company but they
are hardly to blame for that.
1t is common knowledge that the
town has been very fortunate as to
extinguishment of fires. Our fire.
men have done as we'll as the best
OF them anywhere, and to them we
owe the rescue of many thousands
OF dollars; to them we owe all
praise. However, the Water Com
pany has certainly provided means
for them to accomplish about all
the good that has been done.
AS stated, the periodical criticism
of the Water Company's obligations
or undertakings every time a fire
occurs, is INDUCED in and mostly
INDUCED in by those who do not
know, or if they know, will not
reason or investigate. l repeat
that the Bloomsburg Water Com
pany through its directors has
spent great sums to protect this
town from fire, they have at all
times thought first of the great dis.
aster that might follow stinted ar
rangement for fire protection, and
it seems just bit unfair when there
is SO little coming to the Company
IN the way of money that the
Council of this town or individuals
should hold them up for faults not
theirs. Look into it, please.

NEW HISTORY OF WAR
Task for Whoever Will Write Descriptions of
Recent Battles in the East

The Franco-Prussian war had the
quickest history of any conflict, but
then it was quickly fought
Historians and others were writing
about our civil war for more than a
quarter of a century after the surren-
der at Appomattox- Then came the
spat we had with Spain. / am as good
an American as lives, but when We
think of the war which has made jap
an the wonder of mankind we forget
the spanking we gave Spain, and have
to go back to the civil war to find any
thing in our war history worth talking
about The American Revolution does
not look very big now, does it?
THE historians who wrote about
Napoleon's retreat from Moscow gave
US the most dramatic incidents in war
history. / don't know how many were
true. 1 used to believe with all my
heart that Marshal Ney did fire the
last gun as he crossed the Beresina,
and that he did enter the tent of his
master, pcwcer-stained and ragged,
and that he really exclaimed when Ma
poleon asked him who he was: i am
the last of the rear guard of the grand
army And l also believed that Ma
poleon embraced him and said: Bet
Ter Is an my OIL QSeT ny
lion than an army of lions command
ed by deer
Historians of the Abbott school re-
corded these incidents, and they and
other incidents sold books for fifty
years.
But all that has been wiped out in
the last few weeks. 1t has hurt my
business. 1 picked up Victor Hugo's
description of Waterloo the other day
and tried to read it. Maybe my pre-
digested breakfast food was not up
to the mark, but 1 threw the book
aside and found myself reading the
pitiful fragments of censored news
about Nogi's veterans as they hurled
themselves against the Russian le-
gions with the cry: Clear the way.

Earnings of English Railways.

While we are inclined to criticiSe
English railroads with much freedom,
they have a record in one respect
which our own railroad managers
must look upon with respect. The
gross earnings of the English roads
never showed an unfavorable fiuctua-
ton, as compared with previous
year, of over ~ per cent With all
the talk of poor railway management,
of decadent industries and of the
economic evils of war, it is confusing
to find that the commercial develop
ment of Great Britain, measured by
her gross railroad traffic, presents an
almost unbroken record of advance.
Net earnings, however, have been bad
ly cut into by the rise in wages and
by the higher cost of fuel.-Scribner.

Stream Of immigration Into Canadian
Territory.

New England is likely to contribute
this year more freely than ever be-
fore to the stream of immigration
pouring into the Canadian northwest.
For some years the eastern farmers
have gone north and exchanged their
improved farms for a prairie holding,
but the fastener this spring has
caught the infection. and not week
passes but several families from Bos-
ton and it's neighborhood apply for
the certificates of the Canadian gov
eminent that entities them to trans
portation to the northwest at greatly
reduced rates. 1t would, however. be
a mistake to consider them Ameri-
cans, in the full sense of the term.
Many Of them hail from Canada or
England and have come to the United
States with no particular success. To
them Canada is not a foreign land.
and the change of allegiance, if
change there be, comes more natur-
ally than to an American of several
generations standing.-Boston Trans
