 When the commission went in last April. it found about $30,000 in tho general fund and $40,OO0 in the gem eral improvement fund. It costs $12,- 900 a month to run the city.
 The commissioners got busy. They reduced the police force from 95 to 56 men, and the fire force from 74 to 57 and by furnishing up the de- partments got just as good protection as was secured under the old regime.
 Then they went after the money. They got all the money that was coming to the city. For Instance. they got for franchises last year $16,000, whereas on the year before. under the same conditions, the city got but $9,000
 This is the way the collections ot last year and the year before look in comparison:
 Occupation licenses, 1909, $3S,S55,- IA; 1910, $51,45O.45.
 Police court fines, 1909, $6,22S.75: {:

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, April
1S.-John Brady of Nanticoke
died a hero.
This boy didn't die leading a
forlorn hope, or rescuing some
one from a blazing building, or in
any such spectacular fashion. He
died singing "The Top of the
Mornin' A." in a very weak and I'M
certain voice.
That was all John Grady did,
but that seemingly trivial act
marks him as a hero of a higher
and more noble type than that of
the heroes that win their laurels
in the inspiring moil of battle.
The boy was carried into the
presence of his mother the other
day with one leg and both arms
literally burned off by electrical
fires. He was suffering unspeak-
able anguish, but he forgot his
pain in his anxiety for his mother.
He knew how foolishly fond moth
lers are of their boys-how it tears
their hearts to see their boys suf-
fer, ever so slightly. So he
called to his mother, telling her
that she mustn't worry-that he
wasn't hurt to speak of-that
there wasn't any cause for alarm
| at all.
And then, to prove his point, he
broke into the melody of his
mothers favorite song, THE Top
o. the Mornin'."
But the song was never finish
led. The brave voice lapsed to sill
ence-the light died in the boys
eyes.

In Mrs. Henry's case the court

If Mrs. Henry had known of the
