Now Powers Granted to the Mu nicipality. Wonia weeks ngo John J. Coyne, of Mlnooku, uppllcd to the eountv uoin mlK.sIoners to prncluhu Lackawanna a township of tliu first rlasH. under the provisions of the net of 1S98 und tht suppleincnUiry net of 1001, The com nilsslouers promised to consult their nttorney regarding the application, nothing further was heard from them by Mr. Coyne, nnd yesterduy, accom panied by Hon. C. P. O'Mnlley, of WU lard, Warren & Knnpp, ho went bo fore Judge Edwards and asked for n peremptory mandamus to compel the commissioners to Issue the proclama tion. The mandamus was IssuimI forth wlthuiidwlll bo published this morning Thu Immediate action of the court Irf due to the fact that the law demands that tho pioclaumtlon shall bo inado before the Hist of the year to make It effective for the year, und leaves no discretion lo the court or commission ers when It Is hIiovvii that the township is entitled to the classlllcatlou. Lackawanna Is the llrst township in this county to take advantage of this: net. Luzerne has several townships of the llrst cluss. The law stipulates that a borough is entitled to become llrst class when n census shows It has a population of BOO to the square mile. The form of government will bo into effect In Lackawanna tomorrow. lis new officers will be elected in February and take charge the llrst Monday in March. A township nf the llrst class having a population of .",000 is entitled to live commissioners, and one extra commis sioner for each additional 2.000 popula tion. Lackawanna has a population of D,i2!l. They serve two years, without salary und are not eligible lo bold any other township office. A treasurer is to be elected to herve three years. There is no provision for ii tax collector. Mr. Coyne, the peti tioner, is the tax collector, and will as ,i result of the granting of his petition be legislated out of office. An assessor is to be elected for three years, but the Incumbent assessor is permitted to serve the term for which he was elected. Three auditors will be elected for ihree years to take office at the expira tion of the term of the present auditors. The two supervisors are legislated out of office. The board of township commissioners may appoint a superior of highways or township engineer to tlo the work now performed by the sup ervisors. The commissioners serve at large at first but after that must designate the districts they are to represent. Lacka wanna having only four election dis '.licts, some provision will ha-e to be made for ve-dlstrictlng tho township. The comin's-bioners meet for organiza tion at tho oldest established polling place in the township. After organiza tion they can llx their place of meet ing anywhere In the township. The new government gives a town ship many municipal privileges hereto fore enjoyed only by cities and bor oughs. The commissioners can appoint a highway supervisor and assistants and a township clerk (not a commissioner); they can open and grade streets, lay sidewalks and gutters, construct sew ers and drains, supply light, enforce sanitary regulations, prevent tho run ning at large of animals, establish po lice and tire lighting forces, build a lockup, and If necessary borrow money to make possible their exercise of the powers conferred on them. All township money must be ex pended only by orders on the treasurer and signed by the president and sec retary. The treasurer receives five per cent, of the money ho handles, and may be the treasurer both of tho township nnd the school district, but can not succeed himself. No commissioner, school director or auditor can be treas urer. The above are the main provisions of tho act of 1S99. In the supplementary tict of 1901 It is provided that the tovvn bhlp may establish schools for teaching the mechanical arts, make contracts with private parties for sewering or supplying water, and arrange to con nect the township sower system with the sewer system of an adjoining mun icipality.

The London Engineer says that In a process for compressing fluid steel Ingots, Introduced by. Boutter In the steel works of St. Etlenno, Franco, pressure Is uppllcd to tho Ingot from below, and there Is no cover to the conical chill, so that the effect of the pressure ts to force thu Ingot further upwards, with the result that the lu pered sides of the mould bring luterul pressure to bear upon tho fluid inelnl Within, cavities arc prevented, and thn metal Is forced Into the head. Uy this process siipcrllclal 'fissures are pre vented, the scrap is reduced to I per tent, porosity ittul Internal strains arc prevented, liquation Is reduced, nnd the molecular condition nnd morhnti leal properties are Improvrd. Tho re duction lu wnstc causes a saving of 25 per cent, of the cost of the raw steel, but from this must be deducted tho cost of compression, which amounts to about S marks per ton. tmmmmmmmmem ical I Theatrical TODAY'S ATTRACTIONS.

You need a trained mind. A trained mind is a necessity In these times, be cause of the strong competition lu every department of hurnnn activity. Cul tured men and women are everywhere at a premium.

PUEPAIIE to teach: prepare for college or busi ness. But do not do any of these things without preparation, It doesn't pay, Preparation means opportunity. Every person with a trained mind will some day havo an opportunity to use his knowledge and skill. The saddest spec tacle Is to see opportunity come to him who Is not prepared for It.

ATTEND THE LlTEUAItY INSTI TUTE ANIi STATE NOUMAL SCHOOL, AT BLOOMSBUKG, PA. This Is the best place to get the nec essary training. Tho best place; is tho only right place for you. Cheapness should not lnlluence you lu the matter. Quality is what counts. If you havo only $10 to spend on your mentnl train ing, spend it nt u good school. Ten dollars at a good school will give you more training than $100 at a poor school. Quit when your funds are gone If you must, but remember that train ing Is the important thing, not time spent in school. Our charges are low, considering the advantages offered. HAS THE BEST FACILITIES. This school has the best facilities for training young people. Here is the cen tral truth of the whole matter. This school has a line equipment of build ings, apparatus, laboratories, library and modern conveniences for students. Our passenger elevator, and the plan of serving meals by individual order, ns In a first-class hotel, deserve emphasis, THE FACULTY. This school spares no expense to maintain a faculty comnosed of men and women of broad scholarship, suc cessful experience, und established Christian character the cream of the culture produced bv the best colleges, universities and training schools. THE GRADUATES. This school prepares teachers. The record of the Bloomsburg graduates Is u proud one. This probably has more graduates than any other Norma! school in the state, and It Is a rare thing to find among them a poor teacher. They are found in every state, and almost In every country on the globe. PREPARATION FOR COLLEGE. The school maintains an excellent preparatory collegiate department. Col lege presidents testify to the thorough ness of this department. Our boys and girls In college attract attention be cause of their high standing, and seem to take more than their share of prizes nnd honors. They prepare here for all courses, classical, scientific, technical, medical, and law. MUSIC DEPARTMENT. The school maintains an excellent music department. This is Important even to those who do not study music. No person is properly educated who has not learned to enjoy good music. The many recitals given by pupils and teachers, the numerous nubile occa sions when tho school orchestra plays, are all conducive to this end. No charge Is made for class Instruction In vocal music. See catnlogue for course. The college preparatory and music depart ments are maintained by bpcchil pro. vision of the state charter and huvo been In existence since 1S6G. ADVANCED STUDIES. Your education continues at this school from tho point where It ended elsewhere. High school graduates and others here do not have to go over studies ugaln that they have completed elsewhere.
