Within the past six years accidents
to railroad passengers on steam roads
have been reduced by half. The great
Pennsylvania system recently reported
that all Of its passenger service was
operated for full year without a sin

steam roods has become safer there
has been little or no Improvement so

PUBLIC OFFICES SOLD.

The Place. Auctioned to Men Who
Agreed to Accept Least Salary.
1t has remained for East Strouds-
burg, Pa, to set the pace in municipal
reform, the st. Louis Republic says.
This community of less than 5000 pop
ulation is known within only limited
area. 1t goes the even tenor of it's
way and lives at peace with all the
world. Very little of exciting episode
comes from that quarter, but occasion
ally 1t has a new conviction and the
courage TO make it known. This town
does not spend much time debating a
new idea, but tries it to see how it
works. Like many other places, East
Stroudsburg has not been quite pleased
with the way it's public business has
been transacted. Certain offices had
been filled by appointment of council.
but novel scheme has been devised
and trial made this year. The Offices
were put up at auction with the best
bidders getting the jobs.
Bids were invited by the council
for the Offices of water superintendent,
secretary Of borough affairs and bor-
ough solicitor. The places were given
to the men who agreed to accept the
least salary, the council reserving the
right to pass upon the qualifications
of the bidders. To e. M. Walters, who
agreed to perform the duties for $45 a
month, the Office of water superintend-
ent was allotted. Ira La Bar obtained
the office of borough secretary and sol
icitor, to receive $125 month for the
first and $25 for the other Office. After
several weeks trial the citizens are
seriously regarding their device as a
political reform measure. 1t is certain
ly original, to say the least, but 1t
would seem that the salary, II month
ly, is out of proportion to the charac-
ter of the office in a borough of about
5000, or else the officer transacts about
ali the business done. Perhaps the
office OF borough secretary had only
one bidder.

Hunting Grounds for Naturahsts'

Hunting Grounds for Naturaltsts.
Those who are curious about birds
may spend time to great profit In
looking at the poulterers' shops when
game is in season There they will
find many rare and even valuable
specimens that apparently have been
thrown into the hamper by the man
who shot them on the chance of his
receiving something from the London
dealer. A very good museum OF
stuffed birds might be got by simply
purchasing those that through ill luck
have found their way into Leadenhall
market.-Country Life.

IMAM FROM HOME"
tXHALES OPTIMISM
Clever Comedy at Valencia Is
Delighting the People With
4 Its Cheer

Even the most blase of theater goers
admits gladly that in The Man From
Home at the Valencia theater there is
found a comedy, refreshing in its sim
plicity and satisfying throughout. The
humor Of the Tarkington-W Wilson play
is magnetic and infectious, and its dra-
matie theme is sustained from begin
ming TO the end. It's romance is a
pretty love story delightfully."- told, and
in every way the comedy is a big sue
cess Much of the rare charm OF the
play lies in its CHEEKY optimism and
buoyant Americanism.
The fact that Liebler & Co. is
responsible for the production is evil
dence that The Man From Home" is
splendidly staged and that the cast of
principals is in every way adequate to
the demands of the comedy. Many a
star has come to San Francisco her
aided as star of the first Importance.
No such advance glory went before
Henry Hall, who plays the role of Pike,
the lawyer from Kokomo, and the Man
From Home himself. However, Hall
has won a big success and has made a
star out of himself. The play is now
in the second and last week of its en-
ga cement here. and to miss the genial
comedy would be distinct loss. There
will be but one matinee, and that next
Saturday.

THE Banker and the Thief will be
played by Nick Long and Idalene Cot

popular musical comedy artists, will
provide singing and dancing in guam

and dainty little speciality and Wilson
