 The board of warden and burgess es held a meeting last night. War den Rodenbach and Burgesses Free man and Daly were absent and the meeting was presided over by Senior Burgess Reynolds. The reports of the chief of police, tax collector and halth officer were read and approved. The health officer stated in his report that there were no houses under quarantine at the present time. A communication was read from B. c. Barnum, secretary of the water com' pany, to the effect that he had tested the pipes and hydrants in the bor- ough and found them in good con- ditiOn. The matter was referred to the fire chief. The street commit tee reported that as James B. Tay- lar wanted to be paid for the priv ilege of running pipes through his ldHu lOl tue pulpOo ol Cdl ylhS oil surface water, they recommend that the water be turned into the gutter so as to run north to Kennedy's cor ner and there let it run into the nat ural waterway. The report of the committee was accepted. A plumb CTS license was granted Hevey & Spadola. George W. Wigglesworth was granted permission to connect the cave troughs on the Whittemore building on Maple street with the storm sewer. The clerk reported that Elm street was now under the supervision of the borough, as the time set for the completion of the work was November 1. He also sadted that the road superintendent wanted some information about lay ing a sidewalk on Diamond street, in front of the Brennan property. As there is sidewalk in front of all the other places on the street it was thought best to have the work com pleted and it was so voted. The bor- ough engineer and borough attorney were late in making an appearance, as they came in after the board had adjourned, and this was done at S:25.

DROPPED INTO LAW.
The Hotel Man Turned His Court Ex-

 perienee to Account.
 A Missouri judge, travelling on cir cult, once had before him in a small country town a case in which a tavern keeper was held for the payment of a large amount of money which he had not agreed definitely to pay. The court declared that, although his agreement was not on record, it was involved by construction or implied in his partici- patton in business proceeding con nected with it.
 After judgment had been rendered the court adjourned for dinner, and the judge found that the only eating house in the place was the inn kept by the defendant in the case he had just decided. He also found that the de- fendant personally superintended the preparation of the meals and that the food was charged for on the European plan.
 The judge called for two boiled eggs, which, with the other food he ordered, were brought to him done to a turn. He ate them, and at the end of the meal the bill was presented to him. He was astonlshed to read on 1t the following items: Two boiled eggs. 15 cents; two chickens at 75 cents, S1.50.
 Calling the proprietor, he asked: Flows this? I've had no chickens. Why do you charge me for them?"
 Those are constructive chickens, your honor." answered the innkeeper.
 "WhatT"
 "Why. they are implied fin the eggs. you know," the man persisted.
 His honor began to understand and said no more.-New York Times.

the examinations for admission into
the Danish naval academy. There he
spent the regulation four years, far
ing just as his comrades of non-royal
blood Jared, no better, no worse.
Leaving the academy he began his
active career as a midshipman. That
was in 1890. In the years that fol-
lowed he slowly mounted TO the
grade of captain. attaining that rank
only year or so before he was called
TO the throne of Norway Yet he
was well liked by his officers, and the
common sailors were known to hold
him in high regard.
To this day his favorite associates
are men of the navy; he spends much
time in study of naval problems. On
returning from visit to Copenhagen
or a sojourn in England Queen
Maud's home, his first task is to call
in some of the high officials of the
Norwegian navy and engage in long
talks with them. Given his way. his
one subject of conversation is always
the sea and the things that appertain
thereto.

SUBJECTS ARE VERY
LOYAL TO THE KING
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Christina, Aug. 3.-Christinia was
aglow with flags and bunting today
and there was much popular rejoicing
over the thirty-fifth anniversary of
the birth of King Haakon. Addresses
of congratulation were received from
cities and towns throughout Norway
and to these were added the felicita-
lions of all the sovereigns of Europe.
The greetings of the latter were con-
veyed to the royal palace by the diplo-
matte representatives, who were re-
ceived in person by the king
The popular festivities in honor of
the kings birthday afford but an
other proof of the strong hold he has
secured on the affections of his sub
jects. The sincere regard of the Nor
wegians for their king and queen is
all the more remarkable since it is not
yet two years that the young Danish
prince and his English princess were
invited to assume the sovereignty. In
the modern history of Europe no par
allel is to be found. King Haakon's
uncle, Prince George of Denmark, &C
cepted the throne of Greece and has
occupied it nearly forty-five years.

same may be said Of the German
princes who have become the rulers
of Roumania and Bulgaria. The case
of King Haakon, in fact, affords the
only example of an alien ruler who
has been accepted with genuine 10y
atty and taken into the hearts of his
new subjects.
1t is but natural that the strong
characteristics of King Haakon should
win the attachment of his people.
And the winning personality of
Queen Maud and the charm of the
little Prince Olaf, the heir to the /
throne, have further endeared the |
royal couple to the Norwegian people |
But there is one trait possessed by |
the king that, perhaps more than any |
other has pleased the Norwegians. |
This is his love for the sea. Like the |
famed Morse kings of old, King Haa-
kon is a veritable son of the sea.
AS child he was set apart for a
naval career. To this end he was ed
ucated by his father until he was
fourteen years old, when he passed
