Gov't Report W0 4 .XL v yggzgaS BSOLUTEEY PUCE NEWS OFJHIS VICINITY TUNKHAMOCK. The John Lee tenement house on East Tioga street Is undergoing rcpalva A poor relief committee representing the three principal churches in town has been appointed to look after the needy. The members of the committee are Mrs. Itufus J. Northrop, Mrs. Pun derson A. Miller and Mrs. G. C. Miller. Some of the enterprising people of the town are advocating the purchase of a large plot of land just outside the borough limits and converting it Into a public park. The projectors of the scheme are willing that the borough shall own it, or that It shall be the prop erty of a stock company, as may be deemed best. A base ball diumond, tennis courts and Other facilities fur public amusements are among the sug gested attractions, but no horse racing Is to be allowed. The desirability of such a park cunnot be questioned, us there Is no pluce in the borough where public sports may be inudlged in, and none outside except by courtesy of landholders, who may cut oft the priv ileges at any time; but as a borough property it is out of the question at present. If private capitalists want to put their money in It nobody will ques tion their right, but for a town without ten rods of sewer pipe to talk of a public park Is the height of absurdity. It Is suggested bv those who have churge of the tour of William Keynolds, neiu secretary or the International Sun day School association, that he come to Tunkhannock and speak to our peo ple on Wednesday, Dec. 12, but owing to the teachers' institute and other mat ters it is hardly probable that that date can be given him. Rev. J. C. Kep hart, secretary of the State associa tion, would come with him, und ns both are men of wide exoerlence. it would give our people great pleasure to listen to them.

Besides the games, which were all new and in teresting, there were two special con tests; in the tlrst the ladles were pro vided with aprons of various colors, and the gentlemen with bows of cor responding colors. The object was for each gentleman to find the lady with the apron corresponding to his bow, and then to hem the apron. A prize was to be awarded to the person who should hem the apron in the best man ner. The prlxe, which was a thimble, was awarded to Professor 11. U. Cap well, of Starrucca. In the second con test, all the young people were masked and robed in white from bead to foot, and each person was numbered. After a march of about ten minutes, lead pencil and paper were furnished and a prize was offered to the person recog nizing the largest number of his masked companions.
