Pasturare is very poor and the best of milk Is none too good. Poor milk therefore Is decidedly poor and casei aro far from infrequent where It is found to bo considerably below tho ntandard. The regulations require that milk shall show 12 50 of solids. In five tesi made yesterday only two came tip to tho standard. The markings were: 12.01, 12.2S, 11.95, 12.57, 12.52. The fact that the milk Is naturally thin at this time, coupled with the fact thnt somo milkmen are wont to put the Ic3 on the Inside of tho can accounts for tho Inspector's hustle.

Another hitch has occurred In the South Side sewer preliminaries, but It Is one that. It Is thought, will be easily straightened out. For the past week the citizens' committee which Is deal ing with Contractor Koons has been waiting for the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company to sign tho waiver of the lien Irregularity. Yestetdny the company was heard from but what they agree to do Is not satisfactory to Assistant City Solicitor Davis, who has tho city's end of the affair In band, and the contract conse quently Is not yet executed. Instead of signing the waiver as was expected of It, the company, thiough Oeneral Manager Wehrum, drafts and signs an ngreement promising to sign tho waver when nil other property holders have signed or the committee of citizens mokes provisions for tho assessments of those who refuse to sign. These conditions have already been compiled with, so it Is very likely tho company will sign the waiver with out delay. Mr. Davis called up Jessup & Jessup, the company's attorneys, yesterday af ternoon and laid before them the con dition In which the matter now stands. Judge Jessup said he would transmit tho communication to Mr. Wehrum. Contractor Koons is bringing up his paraphernalia from Kingston and hir ing men so that he will bi ready to be gin the construction work as soon as he gets tho word. i LANGSTAFF ELECTION CONTEST.

Not Much Business Dono But tho Committee Meetings Aro Ilopleto with Delightful Scraps Prepara tions Are Over a Month Behind, But They Can Bo Taken Care of 'When It Is Fnally Decided Who Is the Properly Accredited Repre sentative of the Centurys. Probably the public In general would bo Interested In knowing how the ar rangements for the firemen's big state convention are piogresslng. Here's how. At tho lust meeting of tho conven tion committee Secretary William Tannler, who was clerk to Chief Hlckey, and continued In that posi tion under Chler Walker, claimed that he was the duly elected representative from the Century company and that cx-Chlef Hlckey, who It appears had held ofllce on the executive committee ns chief of the fire department, and not as a member of the" Centurys, nnd no standing in the meeting. He also contended thnt C D. Wogman first lieutenant of the Hlckey faction, was not a regularly accredited member of tho committee, and refused to call his nnme at roll call. A previous effort had been made by the HIckeyltes to oust Tannler from the secretaryship. It was a case of tho worm will turn. Last night, when tho executive com mittee was called to order by Chairman Hlckey Rt 8 o'clock announcement was made that the convention arrange ments were more than a month be hind and that only a little more than two monthu remained in which to catch up. WAY THEY CAUGHT UP. This Is tho way they proceeded to Catch up: Mr. Wegman "" !;?, ,().:. ":;! ?-! ;:'!'() ?'!.(,.: Secretary Tannler :'..!- I?.(.Q?&. ?-,(). . :"!;-??& ;!.'!. ,()?-?

This lasted for about forty minutes. It was nil about Secretary Tangier's refusal to lead Mr. Wogman'r: name In the roll. Mr. Wegman wanted to know whether or not he was :i mem ber. Chief Hlckey held that he c.i talnly wa i; Secretary Tannler argued that he certainly wasn't- that he was simply an ex-olTlcio membsr. Mr. Hall, from the Franklins, tried to mako peace and succeeded very extensively In creating more bother. It wound up by tho seivetarv belns directed to correct his roll by insert ing the name of C. D. Wefman as rep resentative of the Hook and Ladder company. It was first proposed to elect Mr. Wegman, but that wouli never do. It would be admitting that Secretary Tannler was In tho right. The coiueption arrangements wic Ft 111 over a n'. nth behind. Mr. Hall wanted to know what right tho Centurys had to two representa tives on tho committee. At the last meeting, he pointed out, the secretary had presented credentials signed by tho company's president, Emll Bonn. Where were Mr. Hlckey's credentials? Now Mr. Hall was not seeking Infor mation. He knew all about the creden tials and his questions were slmoly n wedge for opening up a whole lot of good, old, volunteer-fireman fun. Mr. Hull represents the Franklins, be it again noted. HICKEY'S CREDENTIALS. "Here are my credentials," said Chief Hlckey, as he eagerly searched through every pocket but the one he knew they were In. Bringing forth, finally, a large envelope he extracted an official looking paper therefrom and read that P. J. Hlckey and no one else was entitled to represent the Cen tury Hose company on the state con vention executive committee. I Then Mr. Wegman, who Is chalrm'in of the general committee, got up with a that-just-remlnds-mo nlr and plck Ir.p un a letter of which the reporters had been furnished udvanced copies read: Headquarters Century Hose Company, No. 10, S. F. D. Rprnntnti Tn Tuli. 01 icnft Sir. C. D.Wegman.'Presldent Fliemen's v-uiiveiuion Lommittee. Dear Sir: At a meeting of our com pany, held last night, a matter of no little Import was brought before the attention of it, which cause 1 a painful surprise. It was learned that at a re cent meeting of your body tlk light to recognition of Mr. P. J. Mil-key whs nuestloned liv Mr wiiiinm Tm,i. when the former arose to participate In u uiseussion. The company further learned that later the right on the floor of Sir. Tannler was challenged, nnd ho In response presented credentials pur ported to have been issued to him by the. Century Hose company. When the meeting of last night be came acquainted with these facts the matter was fully Investigated, and from a very reliable source It was as certained that Mr. Tannler. through false pretense, obtained from 'Mr. Emll Bonn, president of the Century Hose company, the alleged credentials he with such defiant effrontery offered at the session of your body above referred to. We, the undersigned, appointed a committee to express the sentiments of the company In this matter, deslr to state that the action of Mr. Tann ler Is regarded not merelv ns a fraud, but a gross Insult to your body, as well as to Mr. Hlckey and the Century Hose Common decency should have prompt ed. Sir Tannler to be the first to ac cord Mr. Hlckey tho courtesy ho nas so nobly meilted by his untiring and renseless labor given In behalf of tho fire department of this city during his fifteen years of active service, nnd es pecially so for tho grand results his efforts during tho recent f.iir brought about. Let in assure vou that tho manner In which Mr. Tannler has nct'd In this matter Is keenly felt bv our cornpanv, and that Indignation Is unanimous. We urgently request your body to tnko cognizance of this mnttr and nieto out Justice to whom It Is di" We have the honor to be, sir, Respectfully yours, John J. Gordon. John A. Milter. Jr.. John W. Hartman. DANNEn'8 VIEWS. Mr. Dannor thought that the matter belonged to tho general committee and Mr, Dlvtley, to whom Mr, Hlckey had temporarily surrendered the chair, co incided, The matter was, therefore, referred to the general committee, which meets next Fuldny night. Tho convention will then bo less than a little more than two months off. There wns a wholu lot of talk about the general mix-up In tho matter of correspondence, there being no central point for receiving and answering com munications, many etteis In conse quence being answered unofficially and erratically or In some Instances not at all. Other minutes of tho meeting follow: The finance committee, through Chalrmnn Danner, reported progtess. Tho souvenir programme committee reported progress, though Mr. Spruks. Through Mr. Molr. the olllclnl pro gramme committee reported progtess. Progress was reported, through Mr. Newman by the committee on badge.

Tho life-sized pictures of ex-Chief P. J. Hlckey and Admiral George Dewey, and a lot of mfnor articles, such as pianos, silver tea sets, cooking ranges, rubber-tired carriages and the like, which were left over from the fair, It was agreed should be rallied off nt the picnic which Is to be held In connec tion with the convention parade. FACTS ABOUT THE CENSUS Contained in a Circular Received by Supervisor John E. Ed ward About the Enum erators. Attorney John R. Edwards, who has been appointed supervisor of the cen sus for Lackawanna, Monroe nnd Plko counties is nlreudy overrun with ap plications for positions by persons who are anxious to do tho actual work of enumerating which will begin June 1 of next vear. Tho enumerating Is to be done In a month nnd the enumerator Is to be al lowed a compensation of not less than $3 or more than $0 per day of ten hours. It will require about 230 enum erators to take the census. Mr. Edwards hns obtained from the census department a circular which contains a great mass of Information about the employing of enumerators and other matters In connection with the census. Some of the things it contains are: The supervisor must consult with the director of the census In regard to the sub-division of his district for the purposes of enumeration. He has the power of appointment of the enum erators for the various sub-divisions within his district, subject to the ap proval of the director. Ho must thoroughly examine all re turns and must use great diligence In correcting all mistakes. He must send In to the director the accounts showing the amount of compensation due ench enumerator. He Is to assist the director In sub dividing his district. The law pro vides that no enumerator have ' any district assigned to him with over 4,000 Inhabitants. It also provides that enumeration commence on June 1, 1900, and the returns of each enumerator must be In the hands of the supervisor by July 1 of the same year. In cities of over 8,000 Inhabitants the returns must be In within two weeks from June 1. The appointments for the office of enumerators must be nonpartisan. Tho appointees must be active, energetic persons of good address. It Is advl.ied that physicians living In the country would make good enumerators. Post masters In small offices are to be given a certain preference. No person directly or Indirectly con cerned In the assessment of property shall be appointed. Persons under 21 years of age may be appointed If desirable. Women may also be appointed If deemed advisable. The rates of com pensation to be paid enumerators will bo nnnounced later. The schedule of Inquiries covers four points: Population, mortality, agri culture and manufactures. The supervisor is to receive $123 and In addition thereto SI for each thous and or majority fraction there of enum erated. He Is also allowed actual and necessary traveling expenses and an allowance for subsistence not ex ceeding $3 a day when absent from his usual place of residence. He Is also allowed cleik hire when deemed advisable by the director. GIFT OF TWO BOYS. They Picked Twenty-Five Quarts of Huckleberries for the Home.

Arrangements for the Big Conven tion to Be Held in This City in Sep tember Aro in Good Shape Now D., L. & W. Offlclnls Willing to Lend All the Assistance They Can to Make the Convention a Success. Chairmen of tho Reception Com mittees. There was a meeting In tho oillce of Colonel 13. II. Ripple Inst night of tho general committee thnt Is In charge of the arrangements for the convention of letter carriers In this city during the first week In September. . The principal thing thnt Is worrying the members of the committee Is the seeming of sufficient funds to enter tain the delegates In a proper manner. The financial committee Is working hard and hopes for tlie best but would appreciate a more general nnd generous response. It was reported that the strike has Interfered to a considerable extent with the work of tho finance committee. It has made business bad and collections difficult and business men who were expected to contribute liberally have given small amounts or stood tho com mute oft entirely for the present. According to the original plan It wns tho Intention to have n general review ing stand on the east side of Washing ton avenue from Linden to Spruce street and a reviewing stnnd for the distinguished guests on the west side of the avenue over the grass plot ad Joining tho government building on the south. ONLY" ONE STAND. Last night It wns practically decided to abandon th Idea of constructing the big reviewing stand on the cast side of the street and to erect the re viewing Btand for the distinguished visitors over the rldewalk In front of the postoffieo building. It wns nlso decided to abandon the Idea of big arches at street Intersec tions and in their place substitute arch es made with electric lights. It Is be lieved tho effect nt night will bo much better than would be obtained from the use of tho nrches at ns first proposed. Business houses of the city will be asked to use electrical effects In their decorations ns much ns possible. Harry U. Hopewell was appointed a commit tee of one to visit tho merchants of the city and nscertnln from them whnt th"y wll do In tho way of decorating their places of business. Tho question of canvass to cover the walks leading to tho court house on which lunch will be served to the vis iting mall carriers after the Labor Day parade has been satisfactorily solved and the matter that Is now worrying the entertainment committee Is where they arc going to get 4,000 cups to supply coffee to the carriers. It would exhaust every crockery store In tho city to take that number from their stock. WLL CARRY OUT PLANS. It wns announced that sub-committees had waited upon the new' Dela dare, Lackawanna nnd AVestern com pany officials to ascertain their views with reference to carrying out plans for visiting the mines, etc., made while the old regime was in control of the local affairs of the convpany. They were given the most cordial kind of treatment and assured that the new officials will help to carry out any plans made with tho consent of tho for mer officials nnd stand ready to do what they can to ensure tho success of the convention. It was nnnounced that Major T. F. Penman has been appointed chairman of the general reception committee. Mrs. G. M. Hallstead will be chairman of the ladies' reception committee. Miss Mnmo Campbell Is president of the ladles' auxiliary and Mrs. William Mo ser Is secretary. There will be another meeting of the committee next Friday night. CANDIDATES FOR AUDITOR.

VAUDEVILLE IN DISFAVOR. Great Bend, After One Experience, Decides to Draw tho Line. From recent reports: It does not look as though that lively hamlet known as Great Bend will bo liable to pose before tho world ns tho home of burlesque. A few night ago a troupe fiom Blngham ton visited the town and prepared to show the rising and tho risen genera tion something genuine in tho way of high class vaudeville. Tho patronage was generous enough, but the gienter portion of tho audience seemed desirous of taking part In the performance. Be fore the show was half over some ono tore down the sheet nt one corner of the hall which divided the dressing room from the nudituiium. Following this the lights went out and a free light took plnco In which neary everybody was forced to Join. There were many broken noses and bruised cranlums when tho smoke of battle cleared away and tho "Amlgos" fared almost as badly as the warlike patriots. Tho burlesque company left the town In sections), carrying 'tho remnants of their wardrobe In bundles, never to return. The town authorities of Great Bend nre willing to encourago almost anything In the amusement way ftotn a church festival to a wild west show, but In futuro they will draw the lino at burlesque. Anything In the popular meydy nnd living picture class that hereafter Is allowed to sell tickets In Great Bend will be obliged to travel Incognito. ELM PARK SUNDAY SCHOOL.
