Gov't Report . ABSOLUTELY PURE NEWS IF JDS VICINITY PlTfSTON. When the announcement was made some three months ago In these columns that there would be no paving done on Main street "this year of our Lord" the Idea was scouted, but the people of Plttston have since learned that the prediction was not un irrldescent dreRm. As has been contended all along, to pave a street money Is re quired. Unfortunately this, In sufficient quantities, Is lacking and the prospects of receiving subscriptions In the shape of $500 checks from Individuals are about as thin as the atmosphere we breathe. The manner In which the bal lots were constructed in order that the expression of the voters might be ascer tained was of such a bungling charac ter that the loan of 133,300 can only be used for Bewerlng and paving. One can not be done without the other, at least that Is the construction put upon It by persons versed In the law governing such matters. The attempt to use any of the money for paving purposes with out constructing the sewers as well, would Invite criticism and even the pos sibilities of Injunctions being Berved. Mr. Furman, representative of the Bar ber Asphalt company, was here last week, and after making a thorough study of the question In all its details left town Friday night. "No," he said, before leaving, "as matters stand at present the Barber company shall not begin the paving of Main street." Mr. Furman submitted the several ordinances and resolutions relative to paving passed by council to the com pany attorneys, and as the ordinance Included sewering, difficulty might arise in the event of the whole of the loan of $33,300 being used for street paving. In regard to the circular contracts signed by the property holders, which were submitted at the last meeting of council, the Barber company attorneys May they ate not binding. Before the jompany would agree to pave the street in front of Iheir properties, the latter will be requested to sign a contract drafted after the manner of the con tracts signed by the property holders on Lackawanna avenue, Scranton, when the Barber company paved that thoroughfare, the property holders there paying two-thirds of the cost. Mr. Furman says that if a majority of the property holders shall sign the contracts, and the resolution of council Is amended so as to leave the borough clear to pay for the pave without the sewer reservation, the company will un dertake the work. As the contract to pave the street, less the' amount the property holders agree to pay, would Involve an outlay of about $45,000 and the borough can only borrow $33,300 there Is not the slightest danger of the council amending the resolution "so as to leave the borough liable," because for them to do so they would be usurp ing power they do not possess, legally or otherwise.

Graham Is circulating a petition asking the legislature to ap point game wardens or constables, to be puld by the state, whose duty It shall be to see that the game and fish laws are better enforced. The Idea Is good, so far as It goes, but every true sportman will agree that there should be such amendment to the game laws as will protect game birds and animals from the voracious pot hunter. It has been no uncommon thing in the years past for a hunter to slaughter from 100 tc 2.0W pheinant. and as many rab bits, In a single season. The conse quences are Just what might have been expected, and these hunters do well now to bag one-half that number, while the occasional hunter rarely gets a shot. However well the game laws may be observed during the rest of the year, if the game Is all killed in the fall It will be perpetually scarce. Benjamin C.

The last of. the course of lectures on "Shakespeare," given under the aus pices of Archbald University Extension center by Colonel Homer H. Sprague, was delivered on Wednesday evening before a large and appreciative audi ence. The lecture related particularly to the later years of Shakespeare's life the period of Hamlet. Caesar, Lear, Othello and other more romantic plays.' Mr. Sprague spoke at length of the qualities that distinguish the later from the earlier plays of Shakespeare. There was nn improvement in their moral tone, he said, and a reverence for sacred things not evident In his early works.

The plays of Shakes peare, while not entirely free from the flippancy of his time, were less Offensive to refined feelings than the majority of the plays of that, period. Mr. Sprague does not agree with those who consider Shakespeare as a man without religion, and quoted liberally from his plays to support his views. He also spoke of the changes In Shakes peare's style of composition and'of the peculiarities of certain of the charac ters he created. A brief discussion be tween members of the circle followed the lecture. The course of lectures now closed has been 'unexpectedly profitable and' an interest in university extension has been shown that is creditable alike to the members of the circle and the peo ple In general. There were a few who thought that Archbald would not give the movement the support it deserved, but fortunately these pessimists have been disappointed. The course has been a pronounced success. Not a little of the credit for this happy result is due to Colonel Sprague, for it was owing largely to his attractive qualities that the Interest was sustained, and a desire for the study of Shakespeare was awakened.
