It was divided, despite a tlunrous
opposition on the part uf Mr. Itoehe. to
have prepared an amendment cultliiK
out that flection of the now bill which
pi events thn mayor fiom holding imv

period of two year after the end of

The other members of the committee
didn't nltoKCther r.wet with Mr. KHI-r
on this point, and it compromise
.intendment was dually decided upon,
providing for tho election of both the
iccelver of taxes and city .solicitor by
l he people.
That feature of tbc new bill which
tlxeH tho number of common council
men nt one for every J.OOfl taxable,
and which provides that where a ward
lias not 1,000 tnxables It .hnll .be
joined with another ward, came in for
1,-eneral condemnation. The ciimmltlce
MBi-ped with Mr. Itoche that this enuld
ie f.o arranged in this city ns to prae
Hcally frhut out a minority repicspii
latlon in the common branch entirely.
An amendment offered by Mr. C'hlt
dendeii met Kllh prencnil approval. This
lroiilcn that ever' ten years the court
of common pleas shnll so divide the
w.iul lines of the city lis to include, as
nearly an possible, 1,000 tnxables to a
ward, this clause to be substltutetl for
the one above mentioned. Mr. Chitten
den stated that this would eijuullze
matters and pievent a ward having
'.'.Oiifl or mote tnxables from liuvlntr
merely the k.iiuo representation in
outKll as a wind bavins: only 700 or
Mm.
When the committee came to the
piovlslon i fR-ai-diiifC the election of r
lect councilmen there was u truuernl
argument, and no two membeis seemeu
to imvo tho Batne vlcnvs. The new bill
Piovldes that tho entiie select council
.-hall be elected lit lan;e.
NO MINORITY.
Mr.Rocho opposed tills on tin. jjiound
Hint It would undoubtedly mean that
that branch of councils would always
ne or ttie same political complexion,
and that Ihete would bo no minority
leprescntallon. To thk somo of the
other members replied that the pro
vision was wise, because It was better
1 have men who would represent tho
city nt largo than men who would onl
represent it certain ward.
Mr. Koche contended in teply that
theoretically councilmen elected nl
large would represent the city nt lnrprp,
but that practically ihov would repte
sent und work for the interests of the
particular ward In which they llv-d, as
do the members of the prevent Keb'ct
ouncll.
Colonel Hitchcock believed that n
be.ilthy minority representation In
i otinc.ll was a booiI thins and he of
feied an amendment piovldliiK that no
voter could vote for mote than two
Thirds of tho candidates for saleet
uum.ll. This plan, he said, would al
ways Insure n minority representation.
'Mr. Itoche wouldn't URree to this lit
nil. Ho wanted the helect loinu-tl
elected as at present from each ward
and In this he was backed up by Mr.
Norton. This question wus according
ly left open for future discussion.
The claiifco of the new bill which
provides that no policeman or fireman
shall bo dismissed except on a licarlnit
of charces before n court of Inquiry
consisting of members of the depart
ment of which ho Is a member and
Klvlnt? thu dltoctor of publlo safety
power to appoint the members of this
court came in for a Htiont,- protest fjoni
Mr. Hocho.
llu contended that theie could only
be tho semblanco of justice In such a
mode of procedure. The director, who
would be tho one who would dlsmlks
tho policeman or fireman, could easily
)ack the court, ho said, and secttte
it verdict of guilty Against the ac
tused, no matter which way the evi
dence went.
COUNCILS TO INVKSTICIATK.
He favored an amendment which
would give councils the power to np
point tho Investigating committee. Tho
oilier members didn't favor this idea
nud said It wns merely n military
uile and that police and tiro forces
should bo governed ns nearly ns pos
sible uccoidltig to military regulations.
Tho coinnutteu will meet again to-Hioriow-
night to decltlo finally upon
ihu Hinendiiients.
City Solicitor Voabure stated yss-
tcrdAy to a Tribune man that amend
ments should b prepared prescribing
and limiting the corporate powers of
tho city. The new bill repeals ovcry
second elnss city law now In exlst
nce and makes no attempt whatever
to define the city's powers. They aro,
of course, Implied, but Mr, Voburg
bnlleves that It would bp wiser to have
thorn etpreisly stipulated.

"Attorney William J. Drcnneu ex
pressed some decided views yesterday
about the new charter legislation In
troduced In tho state senate by Sena
tor Charles A. Muehlbronner. of Alle
gheny. Mr. Ilt'cnncu does not appnive
of the 'tipper' clause, but that Is nit
neatly his whole objection to the bill.
He thinks It undemocratic, and ob
jects to It on general political and gov
ernmental principles. I am not in
favor of the present system.' said Mr.
Miennen. 'because I think It does not
allow the people enough participation
In the MMcciion of municipal olllcers.
With charter reform In view nothing
could be worse for that purpose than
this Muehlbronner bill. Its Ideas of i

TUR MOOT OF THE MATTER.
He Oarad Himself of Sarloun Stomach
Trouble Down to First Principles
A umn of targe affairs In one of our
prominent eastern cities by too close
attention to burlness, loo little axer
clso and too many ulub dlnnors, finally
began to pay nature's tax, levied In
the form of chronlo htotnach trouble!
tho failure of bis digestion brought
nbout a nervous Irritability makln it
Impossible to apply hlmwlf to bis
daily business and finally dsrHnglng
thn kidney und heart.
In bis own words ho says: "I con
sulted one physlotau after another nnd
each ono seemed to understand my
case, but nil the same they each failed
to hrlng about thn return of my for
mer dlje.stlon, appotltn nnd vigor, rot
two years I went from plllnr to post,
from one annltailum to nnother, I
gave up smoking, I quit coffee nnd
even renounced my dally glass or two
of beet, but without any marked Im
provement. "Friends hod often udvlscd me to try
i well known proprietary medicine,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and I had
often perused tho newspaper adver
tisements of the remedy, but never
took imy stock In ndveitlped medi
cines nor could believe n fifty-cent
patent medicine would touch my case.
"To make a long story Mioit I finally
botmht u couple of packages ut the
nearest drug store and took two or
Ituce tablets ufter each meal and oc
casionally n tablet between meals,
when 1 felt any feeling of nausen or
discomfort,
"I was siii'piImmI at the end of tho
first week to note a marked Improve
ment In my nppellte and general
health and befoie the two packages
were gone I was ceitaln that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets was going to cure
completely and they did not disappoint
me. I can eat and siel and enjoy my
corfee and cigar and no one would
suppose T had ever known the horrors
of dyspepsia.
"Out of friendly curiosity T wrote to
the proprietors of the remedy asking
for Information as to what the tablets
contained and they leplled that the
principal Ingiedlents weie aseptic pep
sin (government test) malt diastase ,
and other natuinl digestives, which
digest lood legnidless of th- condition
ot the stomach."
The root of the matter Is this, the i
digestive elements contalred In
Stunrt's Dyspepsia, Tablets will digest
the food, give the overwotked stomach '
a chance to recuperate and the nerves
and whole syr.tem receive the nourish
ment which ran only come from food:
stimulants and nerve tonics never give '
teal strength, they give n fictitious
strength, Invariably followed by jeac
tlon. livery drop of blood, every norve
tud tissue Is mniiufactmed from our
dully food, und If you can lnsute Its
prompt action and complete digestion
by th- legular use of so good and
wholesome a remedy of Htuarfs Dys
pepsia Tablets, you will have no need
ot neive tonics and santtnilunu.

Some Great Cheapness in
Household Linens
Our linen Hunter has just returned, briugiug some big bargain game for the eco
nomical home-makers that fix their faith in the price and fibre of Connolly & Wallace's
L'nens. It should be a gratification that Table Linens, Towel and Napkins can be had
cheaper in Scrauton than in Europe (where mott of them are made. This achievement
s only possible in great trading, Abroad the manuf tcturer is expected to carry the re
tailers' stock. This is not the American idea, We buy so largely that in many cases
the reduction in price will pay both duty and transportation.
