Ist, 1900, which reads as follows: "Moved by Mr. Howard, seconded by Mr. Murphy, that Frank Mundy be elected Chief of Police and Assistant Street Commissioner, to work under the direct orders of the Council at a salary of $50.00 per month" is returned without my approval for several reasoDs. I wish you to understand, gentlemen, that none ! of these reasons should be considered as reflect- 1 ingin any way on Mr. Mundy. as his reputation 1 for strict honesty,sobriety, unshrinking devotion to duty and general reliability are well known 1 and not for a moment to be brought into the ; question. In my opinion one Street Commissioner is am- ' ply sufficient in a borough the size of Emporium ' and even if such assistant seemed desirable, I could not approve of such an anomalous condi tion of affairs as would result in the appointment of a Chief of Police as assistant to a street com missioner who would be liable at any time for duty under the Chief. If, however, the words "Assistant Street Commissioner" mean nothing and it is only intended that the Chief of Police is to do manual labor on the streets a part of the time then the action is in my mind no less objec tionable, for we either need a policeman or wedo not. If we need a Chief of Police at this time we surely need a man who can be on duty a good share of the night, and no man is physically ca pacitated for working on the streets during the | day and serving as Policeman at night, in a man i ner to be worth his salt at either occupation. Membere of the Council have said to me that we , do not need an extra policeman and a man might be appointed to work on streets part of the time, and serve as police only when needed. If this is ; true, then we need no exira police at all, for we ] already have four constables in the borough who : exactly fill the bill. They have other work,to be • sure, but they arc authorized and empowered by | law to serve warrants and make arrests when ever they can be located and called upontodoso, ! and I believe that the services of a policeman serving under this resolution would be of no ! more value to the borough and entitled to no ' more pay than those of a constable. I have been urged by one of your members to acton thismat- I ter at once that something reiiober, reliable man, that he I must wear a regulation uniform when on duty; I that he should toon duty about the middle or I the day and remain on duty till a time not defl i nitely stated, but at any rate till after midnight, J and that he should receive SSO per month. We i were also as ore in the opinion that such officer should devote his entire time to the duties of his office. My opinion has not changed at all since ' our conference and I have been rtady to approve ' such action, within 24 hours at any time since' ; the first of May. I believe, gentlemen, that your ; motive in passing this resolution hasbeena most ! laudable one, the desire to save the borough as 1 ! much expense as possible, but I trust on farther deliberation, 3ou will agree with me that an As- I sistant Street Commissioner is not needed, and < that the appointment of what is prcticably a night policeman who is also required to work on the streets in the day time, is neither wise, eco , nomical nor in the best interest of the tax payers of the borough. E. O. RARDWRLI., Chief Burgess. J Emporium, Pa., October sth, 1900. MESSAGE FROM THE BURGESS. To the Common Council of the Borough of Em porium, Pa. GENTLEMEN:— The President of your honorable body has no doubt handed yon a copy of a notice from the St. Marys Oas Co. to the effect that said Company will cease to furnish natural (fas for street torch es in the borough of Emporium, after Jan. Ist, 1901. The communication states that St. Marys Gas Co."will furnish natural gas for street lamps through Welsbach or similar burners at 25 cents 1 per month for each burner HO long as the supply of gas will warrant and until further notice. We are now paying SI.OO each per month for & r > torches which are very wasteful and the light is 1 not and has never been satisfactory. I believe that we ought to have and can haveabetter light I than these torches afford at less expense. You , will note that we can secure twice as many I lights through Welsbach burners (similar to the ! one in front of the gas office) as we now have at ' just half the expense for gas. You will also note : by the letter from the "Best Street Light Co." of ! Canton, 0., which I hand you herewith, that we can purchase from that firm good, servicable j posts at sl.2s>each and an excellent street lamp ■ of a pattern now in use in many cities at $3.00 each, 112. o. b.. Canton. Add to this 75 cents for a Welsbach burner and we have a good, durable J street lamp with post and burnerall complete for i $5.00. Fifty of tuese will cost $2.50.00. Gas for ; fifty burners at 25 cents each per month will cost $150.00 per year. $20.00 will more than pay all j repairs for a year and we have fifty lights at an expense for the first year of $420.00, just what we now pay for 35 flickering, unreliable, unsatisfac tory torches. After the first year we can have, if we choose 140 lights at the same price for gas i that we now pay for 35 lights. I have no doubt < but that the arrangement made with the Gas Co. for torches at #I.OO each per month was as good a bargain as could have been made at the time,but j owing to the enormously increased lighting pow- j er of gas developed since that time by the inven- I tion of the Welsbach and similar burners, that old contract for torches has long since ceased to ; be advantageous to the borough and in my opin ion it should be dropped now that we have the i opportunity, just as fast as we can drop it. It will be borne in mind that the street lamps ; above mentioned are suitable for any kind of gas, gasoline vapor or kerosene and should the gas ! supply fail, other lights could be putin at once with almost no expense. In this connection I beg to call your notice, gentlemen, to the para graph in the letter of the Best Street Light Co., before refered to, in which they offer to send one of their vapor gas lamps on trial, to be returned if not satisfactory. It seems to me that it might be a very good idea to have one of these lamps on trial for a week or two, and then we could intelligently compare and contrast the two lights and estimate the exact cost of operating them. E. O. BARDWEM., Chief Burgess. Emporium, Pa., Nov. 6th, 1900. The Sibley Vote. Mr. Sibley carries Venango county by 1900, Warren 1500 and Cameron by 25. Mr. Emery had 1400 in McKean county and defeated both Republican Representatives. Mr. Sibley's majori ty in the district is over 2,000. A Halloween Party. As a finishing touch to good old Hal loween and the marriage of Mr. J. L. M. Mason and Miss Florence Hackett, on Oct. 31st, a party of merry makers, consisting of Miss Ella Hackett, of Em porium, Miss Minnie Barrett, Miss Alice Thamn, of Smethport, Miss Net tie Kissel, of Sterling 'Run, and several more of our townspeople repaired to the prospective home of Mr. and Mrs. Mason to await their arrival, intending a grand surprise, but as the bride and groom went a different route to their home the party was at a loss to under stand their non-appearance The hours passed wearily by, while Thos. Lyons btoke the monotony with his blood curdling snores, and the lamentations of several other dejected and time-worn subjects with the "sand man's" trade mark on their facial ex pression. As the gas meter struck twelve, Tom Law raised the false alarm of the approach of the wedding party, but it was only the gas making another tally on the meter. The occupants of the house lingered until 2 o'clock, a. m., when a sad and disappointed pro cession wended their way, through the chill of the night, homeward, and not until morning did they learn that Mr. and Mrs. Mason had quietly repaired to the home of the bride where they passed a quiet night. *** Also Climax * • • Brandy of drape. The superior vintage of 1878 Brandy, introduced by the Speer N. J. Wine Co., is highly spoken of by physicians eow August Flower. "It is a surprising fact," says Prof. Houton, "that in my travels in all parts uf the world, for the last ten years, I have met more people having used Green's August Flower than any other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged liver und stomach, and for constipation. I find for tourists and tor salesmen, and for persons filling office positions, where headaches and general bad feelings from irregular habits exist, that Green's August Flower is a grand remedy. It does not injure the system by frequent use, and is excellent for sour stomachs and indigestion." Sample bottles free at L. Taggart's, Emporium, Pa. Sold by dealers in all | civilized countries.

Devoe lead and zinc— that's the name of our paint that lasts twice as long as lead and oil— is made of white-lead, white-zinc, its color, turpentine dyer, and linseea oil. If any chemist finds anything else in this paint, we'll pay his bill and SIOO besides. It's nobody's business what we put in our paint, of course; but we want it known. For lead and zinc and linseed oil are the stuff to paint with and lead alone is not. We want it known that one word describes the best paint in the world; and that word it Devoe. Are you going to paint? Yours truly, 10 F. W. DEVOE & Co.
