MILK IS BELOW STANDARD.
Inspector Widmnyer Has Many Com
plaints to Make.
Food Inspector Widmayer Is kept
very busy these days with the milkmen.
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.

AND STILL MORE DELAY.
Instead of Signing tho Company
Only Agrees to Sign.
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.

ARRANGEMENTS ARE
GETTING ON NICELY
HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL FHOM
FIREMEN'S POINT OF VIEW.
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:

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.

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.

reported progress, though Mr. Spruks.

Tho life-sized pictures of ex-Chief P.

was agreed should be rallied off nt the

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

Two boys appeared at the Home for

they had actually picked tventy-flv
quarts of berries as their gift to the
home.
To say that their efforts were appre

WORRIED ABOUT
THE FINANCES
HARDEST PROPOSITION CON
FRONTING CARRIERS.
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.

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.
