Report Of Common Council.
EDITOR OF RECORD:

wish TO correct wrong impress
sion which the Report of Common
Council In last weeks issue seems to
convey.
Referring to my objections to the
franchise asked for by the Delaware
and Atlantic Telegraph and Telephone
Company it states that was opposed
to the granting to the Delaware and
Atlantic Telegraph and Telephone
Company, the right to have their wires
pat underground in this city, whereas,
what l do object to is the fact that
there is no provision made to put tie
soires underground 1t is simply a
matter of giving the Company THE
RIGHT but does not state or make any
provision COMPELLING them to do so.
If the Company is DESTROYS OF
placing their wires underground why
not state that TACT in the franchise and
give the City guarantee, that within
FIVE or ten years, they will remove all
overhead wires and poles and have
their underground system complete
within the specified time or forfeit their
guarantee to the city.
l for one would be pleased to see
poles and wires removed from the
streets of our city, which mar their
beauty but there is absolutely no guar
antee of such good luck in the fran
chise asked for by the Delaware and
Atlantic Telegraph and Telephone
Company.

Woman is often referred to by man as
doubling his joys and halving his sorrows"
That may be complimentary but it would
seem TO be rather hard on the woman. For
in plain terms it means that where things are
going well with the man his wife makes them
go better But when things are going i'll
with him, he expects the wife TO share half
his burden. And there's more truth than
poetry in this presentation of masculine self
ishness. Men don't appreciate the fact that
the strain of motherhood alone is burden
bigger than all the loads that rest upon male
shoulders They see the wife grow thin, pale
nervous and worn without a thought that she
is over-burdened. Among the pleasant letters
received by DR.. Pierce are those from hus-
bands who have walked up before it was too
late to the crushing burdens laid upon the
wife, and in the search for help have found in
DIR. Pieree's Favorite Prescription restora-
tive which has given back to the mother the
health Of the maiden and the maiden's hap
piness. "Fsyorite Prescription" always helps
and almost always cures. IL has perfectly
cured ninety-eight out of every hundred wo-
men who have used it when afflicted with dis
eases peculiar TO women.

More Robberies,

Two more robberies have been re-
ported as taking place Saturday night.
The pantry of Thomas Mcnamara, at
43 South Main street, was entered
during the night and everything of an
edible orderswas taken. AT Gilboa
quarries, short distance above this
city, the tool chest of Wi liam Fields,
carpenter, was broken open and all
the tools taken away. The chest was
locked up in the tool house, the door
of which was forced open. An italian
known as Louis Long, of Stockton,
was arrested in this city Monday
morning by Officer Patrick Lynch as
being the party who took the tools.
He was placed IN the city lookup aud
will have hearing shortly. Some OF
the stolen tools we're found in the
vicinity of the boarding house of
Long, and the officers have hopes of
locating the entire outfit soon. Long
had been employed at the quarries
for some time. but had declared his
intention of quitting and going away.
He came to the company's office in
this city Monday for his pay, when he
was arrested.
The dwelling of Patrick McAuliffe,
Delevan street, was broken into at an
early hour Sunday morning by two
unknown persons. Entrance was of.
fected by forcing the dining room
door on the side of the house. The
noise awoke the son, Frank MoAuliffe
who sleeps over the dining room, and
he quickly aroused the family, and on
making an Investigation they found
the contents of Il sideboard scattered
over the floor, but the burglars had
fled. Mr.. McAuliffe short time ago
sold his property and Saturday after
noon he was paid the purchase money
and the supposition is that some one
saw the money paid and was after it.
Two persons were heard by neighbors
to come into the yard and go up on
the porch and try the door, and in
short time to hastily leave the yard,
avoiding the brick pavement and run
ming on the grass.

repartees This little sketch is enter.

furnishes very attractive act.
One of the big hits at the Trent last
