TESTING WEIGHT
In MARKET

Pursuant to action of council Mark
ct Master E. s. Miller Saturday morn
ing weighed the butter that was ex-
posed for sale in the curbstone market.
Although q few rolls were found
slightly short of what they were rep
resented to weigh yet the result on the
whole was sufficient to establish the
fact that as far as it relates to butter
the patrons of the curbstone market
are getting about what they pay for.
There had been some complaint on
the score of short weight. On Satur-
day the week previous roll of butter
was placed in the hands of Mr.. Miller
which it was claimed was deficient in
weight. 1t was reweighed by the
market master and was found to con-
tain trihe less than fourteen ounces
instead of full pound as represented.
The man who sold the butter ex-
planned that it belonged to a neighbor
woman and that he was merely selling
her butter as an accommodation, He
put in good word for the woman S
honesty, explaining that he believed
that her sole mistake consisted in u.s.
ing a spring balance or some other
kind of scales not wholly reliable. The
market master accepted the explana-
tion as plausible and the matter was
dropped.
To determine how the weight would
hold out generally it was decided to
reweigh the butter offered for sale
last Saturday. In the majority of in
stances the butter not only held out
but slightly over1an in weight. In
several instances. it is true, it did not
hold ont, but the deficiency was so
small-only the fraction of an ounce
that it did not seem likely that there
was any intention to defraud. Under
the ordinance the market master could
have seized the butter found deficient
in weight; but after giving the parties
little friendly admonition he per.
mitted them to retain the butter.
/, The farmers seemed to meet the
market master in the right spirit, ap.
proving seemingly his efforts to en-
force the rules and regulations OF
market The market master says he
feels convinced that in the majority
of instances the weight slightly over
ran. All of which speaks very well
for the venders as a whole. Tests here
after will be made regularly.

TO REGISTER
AT WASHINGTON

x-RepTeseutative J. Il. X. Scott, of
Philadelphia, WHO will be returned to
the next Legislature from the Four
teenth ward, will introduce in the
next legislature a bill providing for a
personal registration commissioner,
whose duty will be to register Penn
sylvania employees in Washington.
There are about 300 Pennsylvania en-
poyed in the various departments at
the national capital and since the no.
pass law went into effect many have
not been able to make the necessary
trips for registration and voting. The
registrar will be empowered to regist-
er men from all over the state and for
ward the registrations to the respec-
tive polling Iplaces. The army and
navy men who maintain residences in
the state will be permitted to take ad-
vantage Of the proposed amendment to
the personal registration law.

Threatens to Make Arrests.

The second car load of Icrushed lime
stone has been placed on the drive
ways OF the new park within a few
days past To complete the work an
other carload will be required and this
is expected to arrive in a day or so.
Meanwhile Street Commissions L.
S. Miller has difficulty in keep ing
things in order about the park. The
rule most difficult to enforce is the
one that relates to walking on the sod.
People, it seems, dislike treading up
on the limestone placed on the drives,
and in passing through the park in
variably walk upon the sod. In a short
time a great deal of damage Will re-
suit, if the practice is not stopped.
The street commissioner threatens to

.PLASTERBRS
begin WORK

The plasterers will begin work at
the hospital for the insane this week.
In the second story of the building
for the acute insane male patients the
bricklayers completed laying mp the
two-inch tile on the inside Of the eX-
posed walls last week, and it is there
that the plasterers will begin work as
soon as they arrive. This week the
bricklayers will lay up tile on the first
story and have that portion OF the
building ready for plastering as soon,
or before, the upper story is complet-
ed.
The plastering will be in charge of
a foreman that will arrive from Buff
falo today Although the wall surface
to be plsstered in the aggregate is
very extensive, yet it will not be ex-
pedient to employ very largeH force
of plasterers,at one etime-probably not
more than ten or dozen; otherwise,
the carpenters and bricklayers finish
ing up before them will not be able to
keep out Of their way.
The skaters last week finished work
on the building for the acute insane
female patients and this week will be-
gin stating on the corresponding build
ing on the male side where plastering
will be under way. 1t will thus be OBJ
served how rapidly this building is
approaching completion, the design
being to have it ready for occupancy
the first of fall, to the end that patti
ents may be transferred TO it from the
male infrmary while the latter build
ing is being remodeled, yet this fall.
The carpenter work on the female in
firmary is being carried rapidly TO
completion. The artistic observation
tower that now surmounts the roof is
a new feature that strikes the eye of
the visitors and adds very much to the
building from an architectural point
of view.

Gave Party for Pastor.

The delightful reception rendered
their pastor, Rev. Chas. Heffner,
by Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Moser, of which
mention was made in these columns

This time it was Mr. and Mrs Ed

who made the excellent host and host
ess by pleasantly entertaining num-
Der of their CO. workers in the church
and few other friends on Friday
evening Of last week. This time not
only the pastor but all the other guests
were completely "puzzled' and for a
while everybody seemed to be hard at
work trying to solve one OF the num-
erous ingenious mechanical puzzles of
which Mr., Oyster seemed to have made
a hobby 1t was really amusing TO
hear now and then a shout of triumph
as a guest had solved his or her puz.
zle, while gloomy dispair on their
faces, others reluctantly save up the
struggle. A great relief, however, came
to such when the guests were invited
into the dining room to take part in
solving the greatest puzzle of the even
ing, namely, now to make disappear a
sumptuously laden table, and verify,
every one proved a master in this form
of magic judging by the way so many
juicy chickens were made pass out of
sight. The rest of the evening was
spent in further vi sitting and singing
after which the quests took leave of
their generous host and hostess, again
all unanimous in their verdict that
they had spent most pleasant evening
together, Those present were: Rev.
