JERMYN AND MAYF1BLD.
The communication from tho Jermyn
and Rushbrook Water company to tha
borough council which was read hut
Friday night, giving notice that for
each fire hydinnt In use nfti-r July 1
twenty dollars per year would be charg
ed, has created a feeling of Indignation
against tho water company nnd all
sorts of suggestions nre advanced, All
agree that we must have tho fire hy
drants, but ns our taxes arc now as
large as peorlo can possibly pay, It Is
suggested by some that wo do away
with tho arc lights on the streets nnd
let the money we pay for light go to
ward paying for fire protection. This
suggestion is gaining In popular senti
ment every day, nnd It Is possible that
the council will act on that line soon.
Then there are those who favor going
ahead with the borough water works,
notwithstanding the decision of tho
courts. As near as wo can learn there
is no law at present thnt prohibits tho
borough from going on with the work.
There Is a higher court yet than tho
Lackawanna county court thnt has not
yet ruled on our cose. If, when there
were two water companies here, water
could be furnished for four dollars and

PEARLS OF GREAT PRICE.
The Taronlor Gem drought $550,000
In Arabia.
From the New York Herald.
Five hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars was the price paid for the great
Tavernler pearl. It was originally
owned at Catlfa, In Arabia, and M.
Tavernler made the trip from Paris
to the desert city of Arabia for the ex
press purpose of purchasing the pearl
about which so much had been said
and written. Ho went prepared to pay
any price, from $5,000 to $500,000.
It was thought that he might suc
ceed in closing the bargain for about
$125,000, but this proved to be a great
mistake. Tho sum first offered was $50,
000, but the deal remained open for
some days even after that offer had
been Increased to $375,000. Finally the
bargain was closed for J550.000. Pearl
connoisseurs declare that It Is not only
the largest, but also the most perfect
gem of Its kind known, being exactly
two Inches in length, oval and of
spotless luster. Among the crown Jew
els of England there Is a pearl over an
Inch long, antl egg shaped, which cost
the government not less than $500,00.
ODE TO THE MAM).
He brought them up to Harford,
Ills leetle German band,
And when they struck the bchool grounds,
Their eyes witc full of sand.
Oht they were rare musicians.
And they played divinely sweet;
Their faces smoothly shaven,
Their uniforms were net.
We little country damsels
We lost our heads complete.
We'd laid cur hearts and potketbooks
Most gladly at their feet.
Charley, with his golden hair,
Mlkey with his smiles,
Willie, so bewitching,
The Prof, and Tommy Miles;
Patrick, cute and funny,
Chaimlng one nnd all, '
Played tl'o horns divinely,
Hut couldn't quite play ball,
O huntry lot of fellows.
(But we must eat to live)
They had to drink cold water.
It was all that we could give
Wo parted after supper,
Oh! sad and sorry bccno!
And the picture they took with them
Wecplg maidens on the green
Then our manager sr:ld gallantly,
"Girls, If you've any sand,
You'll mount that lumber wagon
And follow up the band."
We gave three cheers for Matthews,
We tumbled Into place,
Were Jolted, Jarred ad jumbled.
But we smiled with sweetest grace.
Wo thought we'd reach the station,
We thought we'd have seme fun,
But we were disappointed
"Our Maud," sho couldn't run.
We heard the screeching whistle.
We heard the driver yawn.
Wo heard him say quite calmly:
"I guess th-t tialn Is Rone."
Could we have tern him frcm his seat,
We would have slain him there,
And taken to his waiting wife
A lock of grizzled hair.
Wed stamped his vvugou Into bits,
And torn his robes in two,
Rut we're planning out a big revenge,
And this Is what we'll do:
We're going to tako that horse of his
Somo night when there's a fog,
Weil lead her down tho hollow
And tlo her to a log.
Weil cut her lovely tall clear off, '
Must our revenge to gain).
Weil put her eyes out, clip her cars,
And wo won't forget tho Maine."
Weil let her wander back alone
With burdocks round her feet,
And we will smile exultantly,
And say "Revenge Is sweet."
