The system of auditing the accounts in the various counties of the State has always been a supervision of the acts of county officials that began at the wrong end. The new office of County Controller, to be filled by elec tion in counties containing 150,000 population and upwards, will go a long way toward effecting salutary reforms and the correction of some manifest abuses. The new County Controller audits in advance instead of after the Commissioners have settled contracts and agreements generally,and from the day he goes into service until the close of his three-year term he is a useful and all important individual. The new law cove's the counties of Allegheny, Berks, Schuylkill, Lancas ter, Lackawanna and Luzerne, although under the strict construction of the census of 189a, Berks with 137,327 population, Lackawanna with 142,088 and Lancaster with 146,095 do not come under iti provisions. Since the last census, however, all three have passed beyond the required figure and unless otherwise decided upon 'they are entitled to the benefits the acts unquestionably confers. Berks, by cen sus, Jacks most of meeting the pre scribed number of inhabitants, but a lecent census of Reading shows an in crease of over sixteen thousand in that city alone, and the county easy reaches the terms of the law. By doing away with the old and cumbersome machinery found in the Beard of county Auditors, the county Controller at once es tablishes a form of government of the most valuable character. He passes upon the receipts and expenditures, debts and accounts of every county official. As a check upon the county Commissioners he acts as a public monitor of the treas ury, and no action can Jbe taken nor can any expenditure of money be made without his approval. A de tailed estimate of the revenve required must be made out by him before . the first day of February of each year, and, according to the extent and na ture of his estimate, the Commission ers must base the rate of taxation. The annual county account that now finds presentment by the Auditors at the close of the year, as the result of labors practically amounting to noth ing, is part of the duty of the new Controller, and when it is seen that under the operations of the new law the Commissioners become only a body of nominal powers it is apparent that the new official creates changes in existing usages and customs of the most heroic nature. There is very little left for the Commissioners to do beyond drawing their usual perquisites. By the old methods the Commis sioners made out the warrants,filed the tax rate, entered into contracts, invited bids and propcsals for county work, ran the records in secret to suit them selves and ruled on the order of a close corporation, often to the detri ment of the tax payers. The new Controller now becomes the minister ing power and he must minister open ly. Any tax payer can look over his books and every act must be a public matter. He can have no closed doors to his office and the condition and state of the public funds is always thoroughly known. Nothing can be hid. This will be a revolution in coun ties like Schuylkill, Luzerne and Lan caster, where heretofore the cum para lively unimportant office of 'county Auditor has been much sought after on the ground doubtless, that as a public office it was a private snap. Deals in small fortunes will cease. After the new law becomes generally operative the way will doubtless be come quite clear to an amendment including every county of the State under its benificent provisions Times. Messrs. Sweet, Orr & Co," the makers of the world famous working clothes, which bears their name, have placed the sale of those celebrated goods in the hands of Gidding & Sals burg, who will control the sales ex clusively in this territory.

(From our S;ec'al CorreiponJent.) Chicago June M, 1893. The steadily increasing attendance at the Exposition show that at last the tide of travel setting this way and that the thrc ngs at Jackson Park will no longer consist of Chicagoans. The latter will continue going as often as before but the majority of the visi tors on the grounds will be strangers. Thursday nearly 179,000 persons paid to enter the Exposition. This large attendance was mostly due to the presence of the Infanta of Spain, the Princes Eulalia. It was Princess day. When the princess and her suite entered the grounds at the west end of the Midway at Cottage Grove Avenue a salute was fired by a battery from Fort Sheridan. The royal party passed through the Plaisance and di rect to the Administration building, where breakfast was served at 1 o'clock. Then ihey visited the Woman's build inn, where an informal reception was held. In the evening a grand display of fireworks was given in her honor. The "White City" never showed to so good advantage as it did Thursday night. The basin in front of the Ad ministration building was a sea of fire, while sky rockets were as thick as stars. The principle feature of the display was a massive portrait of the princess composed of ao.ooo separate burning pieces of fireworks. Yester day the princess spent the entire after noon in visiting the Midway Plaixance. Monday she says she will see the "Wild West" as she once witnessed it in Paris, where Col. W. F. Cody was introduced to a number of the Span ish Royality. Nebraska dediciteJ her state build ing Thursday with great enthusiasm. Over a thousand residents of the state were present to take part. The cere monies began ith the arrival of Buffa lo Bill and his cohorts headed by the Cow Boy band. They marched into tr.e grounds at Goth street and lined up along the art callery, the United States troops extending to the Ne braska building. As Col. Cody rode up on a prancing horse, Gov. Crounce and his staff and Commissioner Gar neau appeared on the piazza and the soldiers saluted. Commissioner Gar neau formally turned the building over to the governor of the state. Gover nor Crounse accepted the building in a fine speech. Among the many things he said about the growth of this western state he said: "If Columbus had kindly delayed his discovery a few years, or if the settlement of Nebraska had been started a quarter of a cen tury earlier at the pace she has already set I have no doubt she would have stood high in rank with her competi tors. But time has not ripened her industries, nor has age matured the creations of her enterprise. Nebraska has not an extensive nor varied ex hibit at the Fair, yet I am proud to assist in dedicating Nebraska's modest offering to the Columbian Exposition." Ex -Gov. Furness concluded the cere monies by a happy little speech, in which he said that Nebraska had the fattest cattle, the prettiest women and the sweetest babies in the world. ' Norway's interesting exhibit m the manufactures building was thrown open yesterday afternoon. This ex hibit was delayed on the water many weeks and therefore they are behind. The 9,000 square feet occupied by Norway is on the east side of the main ai6le near the south entrance. Many fine exhibits are shown her.' An in teresting exhibit of the ski (Norwegian snow-shoe,) used for climbing moun tains and shooting down the steep in cline with race-horse speed, is shown in great variety. Norway ships a large amount of wood, pulp and sul phate for paper making to this coun try, and this important industry has an exhibit to itself. Boats, tapestries, various liquors and wines, with some very fine wood car vi rigs, are other - in teresting features. The section open ed with little ceremony. Next week some young women from Utah will show the public, that is, all that care to visit the Utah building, the entire process of making silk goods. In a wide tray beneath one of the windows, hundreds of silk worms will be fed mulberry leaves by a young lady. Another girl operates a hand loom and weave 'sjlk dress goods in sight of the visitors. This will be as interesting an exhibit as one can find in the way of manufacturing on the grounds. Utah has a very cozy little home, and every one feels upon enter ing the doors that here is a place to rest and be comfortable. The recep tion ladies are very gracious to all the visitors and try to make them wel come in every way. The Fair will be closed hereafter on Sundays. The people on the grounds are more than delighted, they will now have a day of rest as well as the out siders. No one seems to care if the Fair is to be closed. Six days is enough of that hubub and din. A Great Bargain.

According to a contemporary this kind of a swindle is being worked in this and adjoining States ; A clerical looking man appears at the house of a prosperous farmer and an nounces he is a minister who is going to preach at a neighboring church. Soon after a young couple ride up and ask the farmer to direct them to a minister, as they wish to get married. The preacher offers his services, the ceremony is performed and the minis ter asks the farmer and his wife to sign the marriage certificate. They readily do so and soon receive a no tice of a note in bank. Fashionable Livery.
