The 9 COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. 1 lippincott'i Magaaino for May. 1896. The complete ncrvcl in the May issue of Lidpincotfs is "An Impend-, ing Sword, " by Horace Anncsley Vachell. The hero enters the service of a California millionaire, whose do mestic peace is endangered by the i wiles of a relentless enamv. Some queer entanglements ensue. "Rcsaca," by Maurice Thompson, is a Georgia story of war-times. Carrie Blake Morgan turns from verse to prose to relate a cat's escape "From the Valley o' the Shaddcr." In "Love in the Afternoon," Clata E. Laughlin tells the successful matrimonial adven-: ture of an elderly bachelor. What "The Fiddle Told," through the pen of Nora C. Franklin, was a story that abridged a life-term of imprisonment. The tale of "The Last Duels in America" is told in detail by one of the principals in both, William Cecil Elam, now an editor in Norfolk. He tells it without rancor or bravado, and incidentally throws ' light on a state of society and public opinion now in that respect at least happily of the past. Isabel F. Hapcood writes, out of abundant experience, on "Bed and Board in Russia." The need of "Official Residences for American Diplomats" is pointed out by Theo dore Stanton. "Highways of the Sea and the Steamships which Traverse Them" are described by Clarence II. New. "The Abbey of Gethsemane, to which Allen Hendricks conducts the leader, is the Trappist monastery in Kentucky. "An Overlooked Poet of a hundred years ago is brought to lkht bv F. M. B. The poetry of the number is by Hattie Whitney, Ida Whipple Ben ham, Madison Cawein, and Clarence Urmy. He Isn't Superstitious any More. Centre Reporter: A man who believes in the saying, "See a pin, pick it up, and all day long you'll have good luck," saw a pin in frout of the postoffice the other day. Bending down to get it, his hat tumbled off and rolled into the gutter. His eye classes fell and broke on the pave ment ; his suspenders gave away from behind ; he burst the button hole on the back of his shirt collar, and he all but lost his new false teeth. He got the pin. Who Wouldn't be a Printer 7 A printing office is usually consid ered a rather rough place, and the newspaper worker a rather hard fellow. Statistics, however, do not bear out that idea. Of 2,890 convicts in the state penitentary ot Texas, there is not a printer or newspaper man, while while there are ministers, doctors, bankers, barbers, photographers, bar keepers, cooks, and members of almost all professions and callings The printer gets a bad name because the nature of his business teaches him to detest iham, and he scorns the hypocrite. Bill Nye once said in a lecture A man may use a wart on the back of his neck for a collar button, ride on the back coach of a railroad train to save interest on his money until the conductor comes around 5 stops his watch nights to save the wear and tear ; leaves his 'i' or 't' without a dot or cross to save ink ; pasture his mother's grave to save corn j but a man of this kind is a gentleman and a scholar compared to a fellow who will take a newspaper, and when ask ed to pay for it puts it in the office and has it marked refused. A Sunburv preacher said in his sermon on Sunday that while men sometimes get delirium tremens the women are oftener in a state of deliri um over trimmings. CENTRAL HOTEL, B. Stohner, Prop. C. F.

The Act of Assembly provides that said auditors shall be entitled to receive fl-SO fpr each and every day actually employ. The salary of the secretary Is fixed for Out year and he was not entitled to extra compen sation for attendance at the meeting of ttm Auditors. It Is clear that the directors nad no right to pay the Auditors and Secretary the $88 50 In excess of the amount allowed by law. Having no right to the money the Poor District Is clearly entitled to recover It bade from the directors ot that year. But the Au ditors and Secretary of that year should pay the Directors the amount received In excess to what they were legally entitled. Orders No. 16 and 73, amounting to $7.50 wers given to one of the Directors of the pcor: and part of order No. 88, amounting to $18.00 tn an other Director for furnishing manure for Uni Improvement of the property of the poor dis trict. This Is clearly In violation of the laws of Pennsylvania of 1871, page 180 which pro vides "That It shall not be lawful for any Di rector of the poor In any county In this Com monwealth, where said office exists to be concerned or personally Interested In any con tract for furnishing supplies for the mala tfcnanoe of the poor, cr for the construction or Improvement of property under their con trol." The same law will snnlv tn nannfAi. der No. 40 amounting to $15.50 for carpenter work by one of the Directors on the buildings of the Poor District. Although the Poor 87 District received tho benefit, nr tho omt. nf these orders, yet the transactions were illegal and the Directors who received the money should pay it back to the treasurer ot the district. Orders No. 33 and 58. amounting tn n cm given to pay for the services of two stewards during part of the month of March Inst Th Act of Assembly lncoiporatlng Bloom Poop District provides for the appointment of only one steward. It, would therefore be lllecral to ay for the service of two at tho same Lime, he Directors who appointed and nald forthn services of these two stewards should pay In to the treasury of the poor district IH. belno- the amount In excess of tho regular salary ot the steward of that year. Order NO. KW. for10 to J. A. TTnwnrrt fnr board and care of H. s. Miller up to Sept. isth, 1895, wasglen without authority ol1 law and should be paid to the Poor District by the Di rectors who authorized the payment. The order shows that It was not drawn for the re lief ofR. S. Miller but to pay bills which had been contracted previous to in,, time u.o der was given, the Supreme Court has de cided that, tho overseors of the poor are strlcily limited by the various Acts of Assembly re lating to the maintenance ot the poor and ex cept, in rare and special cases they cannot step beyond the letter of these acts. "This Is auowea in special emergencies only, as where medical aid or other assistance is imnerniivs. ly required before relief can be obtained." Orders 107 and 131, for $107,17 were given for coal for Bloom Poor District. The actual one ot the coal delivered at Bloomsburg was $2.75 a ton, amounting to 193.56 but, the orders worn made up of this amount, nnd of $18.61 fore. peuses during two trips to Kingston to pun chase the coal The bills show that the coal costB$2.75a ton and the, orders Indicate that It costs $.1.15 a ton. This was a mistake and the Director who ipurchased the coal should pay $ 8.61, being th excess ot the actual cost. But he Is entitled to pay for his necessary traveling expenses and bv nresenMno' n Itemized bill the board of Directors should order It paid. orders itw, 138 and 156, for $685 were gives for steam heat at Poor House. If there had been a legal contract these orders could not be questioned by the Auditors. The paper purporting to be a contract, lnnnivnn mriw- ment signed by two Directors without any previous authority from the Board. As an agreement ot this kind Is nnt. hindtnir tna Bleain plant, does not legally belong to the district, and no legal price has been fixed for the payment of the same. According to a line of decisions of our courts a contract of this character should not only be authorized by a resolution passed at a meeting of the Board of Directors, but belnir a matter which should require deliberation and thought the full Boatd Bhonld be present. Upon a careful examination the Auditors bava concluded that the price paid for steam beat is exuruiiant ana excessive, that tne same make and duality can be nut in with a lanm protlttothe contractors for$'8iHess than the amount paid, and that the Director or Directors who authorized the payment, of tills exeesslvo sum should pay the sum of $180.00 Into the treasury of the dlst rlcU we further recommend that the books and records ot the district should bo kept In a dif ferent form That the minutes should be more full and complete, with a statement of each bill passed. That no bill should be named until Itemized, and that the minutes should be Bl gned by t he fcecretary. Tl: .'lie salary of each of the Director for tha ensuing year is axed by the Auditors at sov-enty-nve dollars. h.j. nuss, WM. MATHER, WM.BOGART, I. A DEW ITT, ANDREW L.
