FOR CIVIC RETIREMENT
last DAY OF NATIONAL MU-
NICIPAL LEAGUE.
Notable SIeakers on Methods of
Controlling Public Utilities.
Elections.

PITTSBURG, November 19.-When the
last days session of the National Munich
pal League and American Civic Associa-
tion's joint convention convened here this
morning there was still considerable bust
ness to be transacted However. the
cloCk-like precision that has character
lied the three preceding days was again
in evidence, and indications were that
all matters would be cleared away for
the great banquet tonight.
Methods of controlling municipal public
utilities were discussed at the morning
session of the National Municipal League.
Among the speakers were DR.. B. H.
Myers. president of the Wisconsin COM
mission; Thomas Nj. Osborne, former
mayor of Auburn y. Y. and a member
of the New York public utilities COM
mission No. ., and Joseph B. Eastman,
secretary of the Public Franchise League
of Boston. In his address DR.. Myers
said:
THE Office of the commission is de-
VelCplnS into a sort of clearing house for
all kinds of information relating to utili-
ties between the municipalities. the COM
panles and citizens. The operation of the
law has resulted in these advantages. in
addition to the advantages of obtaining
reasonable and just rates and reasonably
duequaie service: f1fSt, IL mas taken all
public utilities out of politics: second. it
tends to eliminate feuds between the utili-
ties and citizens and municipalities; third.
by making the published rate the only
lawful rate and by abolishing all dis
ordinations it raises the standard of
public and private morality; fourth, valu-
auhA and accounting compel sound and
progressive business methods, causing a
revolution in many arrangements of utili-
ties; fifth. it tends to make investments
in securities of public utilities more at
tractive.''

The CITY Beautiful.

AT the morning session of the Ameri-
can Civic Association 'City Planning
was the subject discussed. Among the
speakers were John Nolen, Cambridge
Mass; Frederick Ford. Hartford Conn
Henry Hornbostle, Pittsburg, and John
Quincy Adams of New York
Viewing the city beautiful as check
upon wastefulness and extravaganza. Mr..
Ford, city engineer of Hartford. Conn,
said:
''One of the greatest problems confront
Ing American cities is that of finance. of
finding ways and means of meeting legit-
innate current expenses without excessive
and prohibitive taxation. The curse of
this nation lies in the wastefulness and
extravaganza of it's people. due to the
unnecessary sacrifice of human life from
preventable diseases and accidents; due
to the disastrous fire losses; to the river
flooding nuiSanceS, and to the dishonesty
incompetency and ineficiency in the ad-
miniStration of city affairs.
The solution of the tuberculosis problem,
which costs the United States $1,000, OOO,-
coo yearly. largely depends upon the sou-
ton of the tenement problem. Millions
of persons are huddled together like cat
tie in tenement houses unfit for human
habitation. breeding places for disease
immortality and crime.
What We need more than anything else
TO help solve the many municipal prob
lens of the future are men-men who are
years of their lives to the public service
men who can detect right from wrong
and who will insist upon a high standard
of public morality"

Perhaps not, Hal, but I'm a good

minutes ago."
"Never speak to me again." she
commanded, as she flung away.
"Neyer is a long time, Hail." said
the young man. Better make it a

him over her shoulder. Il never was

her. Besides, 1t doesn't happen to
be true except for the moment
You're going to love me just as soon

Il wouldn't marry you If you were
the last man on earth" she cried.
The tilt to Miss Hallie's saucy little
chin became a trifle more accented IL
possible Apparently she had wiped
Jack Robinson of her map.
That young man smiled in n large
content. He had been impudent, of
course, and overbearing, perhaps, but
he had a divination that what Miss
Halle needed was a little of the Pc
truchio business. At the most It
could not eventuate in worse failure
than the scrupulous overweiyhted
courtesy Of the past year. lie had
heard that women liked cavalier WOO
ing. Well, there was rothing like
judicious experimenting.
AT the expiration of an hour and a
half Jack went on search for Miss
Darrell. He had seen her down at
the beach struggling unayailingly to
launch the boat. Proving unequal to
1t, she had disappeared In the woods.
He found her under tree In the
heart of little grove. She was star
ing straight before her, and appeared
to be having a heart to heart com
mune with herself.
When Jack spoke she did not hear.
He spoke again and she continued in
dustriously not to hear.
II merely want to say that we shall
have to leave the island pretty soon or
be late for dinner" he said suavely.
Miss Darrell regarded the scenery
with fond interest.

to speak unless you so desire. II you

me on the return trip you may meet

FIRE IN THEREAFTER.

Towanda (SpeciaD A panic was
prevented when a fire occurred on
the stage of Hale's Opera House by
the ready tongue of man in the gall

There was a shower of sparks on
the stage, burst of smoke and a
mass of burning scenery fell from
the loft, having been thrown on the
stage to prevent 1t setting fire to 9TH

Instantly the audience was on its
feet, there were cries of fire, the cur
tain was lowered. A panic was i'm
minent, when a loud voice in the gal
lery was heard saying:
Keep up that curtain, we want
to see you put out the fire"
Others took up the cry, there was
laughter and applause and the cur
tain was raised Actors and stage
hands were seen beating out the
blaze, and the audience, with its con-
fidence restored, sat down and watch
ed them doing 1t.

between her lessening sobs. You
treated me-you know how, and then
you went away. IL hate you"
That's all right, Halle. You may
hate me If you want to, but you've
got to love me whether you want to

and shook him, not wholly in fun.
How dare you talk that way to me,
sir?"

of his hands and made her look at
him. She tried to turn her eyes from
him, but he compelled her gaze. 1T

second of speech.

His smile was complacent, and con-

or at least you are trying to-that
you don't care for me. think that's
about it,"
Miss Darrell looked at him in Of
Tended amazement. "Well, upon-my-
word Jack Robinson, you astonish
me-"
He was astonishing himself good
deal, for that matter.
I'm the new man emancipated

He put his arm around her, caught

DYNAMTERs AT WORK.

Hamburg (Special) James Fran
els, of this borough, has become
greatly alarmed because three unsuc-
cessful attempts have already been
made to injure or destroy his prop
erty by the use of high explosives.
Two of these explosions took place
on Sunday evenings. during the
hours of church services. The loud
reports were heard throughout the
borough, causing considerable excite
ment.
Small fragments OF iron pipe were
discovered scattered all over the back
yard, while at the point where the
explosion occurred a hole was torn
in the ground. Mr.. Francis has en-
listed the help of local and State
authorities to ferret out the guilty.
1t is believed that the pipes are load
ed with dynamite and powder. In
one instance the fuse failed to ignite
the charge and the pipe and danger

A Religious Despot and His Rise.

The amazing story of Elijah"
Sandford and his sect of Holy
Ghosters" is told at length in Har.
per's Weekly. 1t is an almost in.
credible story-the story of a relig-
ious fanatic who has built a fleet of
ships and acquired fortune for the
propagation of his faith, and who
numbers his followers by the thou
sand. What is the secret of his re-
markable rise? 1t is. answers the
author, F. l. Anderson, immense per.
sonal force.
He is," says Mr.. Anderson, "in-
sistent, persistent, despotic. He will
brook no opposition to his will, which
is absolute law at Shiloh-which has
been absolute law since the day. fif-
teen years ago, when he turned the
first spadeful of sand on the hilltop.
His whole life has been one of in.
tense inditidualism. In his baseball
days he was the absolute boss of the
team; in his college days his com.
panions had to stand with him or
fall with him. When an idea obtained
ascendancy in his mind, he worked
1t out to its conclusion as he saw
the conclusion. He did not seek, nor
did he accept, advice. Coupled with
this intense egoism was the develop.
ment of the belief that he, like
Moses, Mohammed and Jean dare
was diyinely inspired and had direct
communication from the Deity. The
psychology of the contagion OF faith
that met him is not difficult of an
alysis. 1t is a state of mind common
in country communities, similals
