Occupy the same pew with her Instead of
standing outside and" bitching on" when
she makes her appearance, as if you were
ashamed to be seen in her company. If yon
•re not afraid to be seen sitting by her side
and tinging from the same book daring the
services, she is not likely to be backward
aboat asking you into her home after wtrv
ice, an J if you cannot recognize bar worth
aud show ,your respect for her in the above
manner, you are not fit to be found in her

to them after the clone of services from the

Doings of Council.
I"i.-i Town Council met Tuesday CYC-L>..G
and as usual the affairs of the whol u-vrn j
•ecmed to come up for their consideration. .
Of the business transacted, that of mo-'
interest to the property owners of the tov.
was the fixing of the tax rate (or ge:i( .
purposes at 5 mills, which with ihe 1 mills
1 special already ordered, and the 1} that i
will be added to meet the intere-'. etc.. on '
the $25,000 of bonds to be sold immedi;.:
ly, will make the tax rate for borough pur
poses this year 10$ mills, and this on an ;
assessment of about two million.- iil
bring in about #20,000.
The $25,000 of 4* percent, bonds are :
be sold immediately, and it is expecte.i i
that the long time bond- will bring some j
premium. The amount realized on the
bonds, the new tax and balance on the
old, and the assessments will give tli<- ;
Council about $50,000 to come and go on
this year.
Mr. Humphrey, one of the Co. Comm'rs.
and Mr. Galbreatb. their attorney, appear
ed in regard to the Centre Are. or Free' !
port bridge. The contract for the '.ridge i
was let last fall, the contractors want to !
go to work, the location of the -treet • ". ;
the west side has not been appealed ft--:.: \
but some of the assessments have beer,
and those assessed have taken the matter
into Court, the people are clamoring f>
the bridge, and both the Co. Comm'r- and
Council are between two fires. Some
ninety feet of Mr. Fullerton's grow; i < :i
the west side are not occupied l>y Ji.
ings, and it was suggested that be ,-houH
be given a bond and the work of bnihii: g
the bridge proceed, but the Council v.unt
to gave money on the fill by utilizing 'i >■ <
diit that will be obtained from the :t ■i. :
Main St. where it croise the Diam<-r.«'.
and to do this the building- ought to • back
soon, aud some of the citizens of Spring
dale are willing to give their individual
bonds for the damages. An effort will be
made to compromise with Mr. Fuller; n
immediately, so that the work of building
the bridge piers can proceed.
The Paving Committee reported that the
P. R. R. Co. had signed for paving <>n
Jefferson St., which gave them more than
the necessary two-thirds of the frontage,
between Main and Monroe Sts., and an
ordinance to pave that part of the street
was adopted. The street from Main to lie- ■
Kean is to be its present width of 30 feet, |
but from McKean to Monroe it is to be but
30 feet wide. Plans and specification
for the paving of the street, and also for
Centre Ave. have been made, and bids lor
both will close on May 12th.
Some of the people of X. Main St. want j
the width of the paving for it changed to | '
30 feet. ' j
The petition for the paving of W. Jeffer
•on St. wu almost completed and the '
Council agreed to meet Wednesday ev- j
ning to consider it.
Petitions for sewering Fairview, Brown ' 1
and Walker Avenues in Springdale wen j
received and granted, and ordinance
ordered to be prepared.
Their presentation brought up the Water I
(Question. The Water Co. wants about j '
SI,OOO a year for flushing, and the Council I
think they can save that money by using |
pring and roof water.
Mifflin St. from Chestnut to lire ad al.-o '■ ,
wants a sewer.
Some parties appeared and asked per
mission to connect with the sewers, but
the sewers have not yet been takan off the {
contractor's bands, and cannot be until
the water question is settled, and the! <
newer* connected and tented.
Some of the water ping* were reported
to be leaking; tbe weather is dry, and the
sidewalk* are obstructed, and tbe iire com
panies are growing nervous.
That "little hump'' on Brady St., and
the grading of tbe sidewalk* on that .-troet j
were talked over. Tbe Borough Solicitor i
•and other attorneys in the Council decided j
that tbe law given tbe Council the right to
require property owners to grade tbeir
sidewalks, and the persons referred to will
be no notified.
The Chief of Police reported that lh<-
woods around the town were full of trainer,
be having counted 18 in one night, and ln
asked that tbe Council and Burgens take
some action in tbe matter.
There were nineteen applications for the
position of Street Commissioner, and the
Street Committee retired and after seven
teen ballots, selected and nominated Mr.
Jerry W. Starr, of McKean St., and bis
nomination was confirmed, and the street,
machine is to be put at work immediately
on the streets.
On Wednesday evening the petition lor
paving W. Jefferson street was grunted unil
ordinance adopted, bids to close May 12.
The ordinance for sewering Fairview,
Brown and Walker avenues was adopted,
bids to close May 12.
All persons living along Jefferson itreei
and Centre avenue are to be notified to
make tbeir water and gas connections im
mediately so as not to interfere with tie
paving of those streets.

In the history of the tiUsliii-SH when criu:ki*rs
were all aliout the same. Om* brand wan Just
about as good an another, and now- a tempta

crackers of the present day and generation are
as dllT<-rriii a* day from night. I here are go.jd
cracker* and had crackers: Iresh crackers and
stale crackers, and of the whole lot, stale
crackers are the worst.
There are some grocers In the country who
sell stale, unpalatable crackers iM-raiiac they
can gel them cheap and make a tilg jirolll on
llieni They think tlielr customers don'l know
the difference, and by and Ijy when their crack
er trade Is all gone and they don't sell a box In
a week, the.v look surprised and say ••Funny
how people's tastes change. They don't care lor
crackers any more."
Don't they, though' I'eoplc doh'l care for j
stale, unwholesome crackers, that's true, but :
they do care for a cracker that U pure and
fresh, and altogether dellglilfnl an an arllcle "r

l'lttsburg. Is scarcely able t/» fill lis order-, li ;
Is (liming out more crackers to-day than it
dlil itcforc. and the trade is si 111 growlin - . v\ liy 1
Is It? It's simple enough. Marvin's crackers are
the best that are made, feoplc who use them !
once invariably want them again, and the
grocer who sells tlieln nlwuy linds that liny
not only prove a good source of revenue to him,
but make his store popular with the people
Marvin's cracker* arc made hy skilled bakers
of the very purest and best materials obtain

from the ovens, and are never rendered tin
