PENNSY'S Tho forty-flfth annual
R. R. report of the Pennsyl
REPORT, vanla Railroad Com
pany Is out. The operations Of that
great corporation have been bo Inti
mately identified with the prosperity
of Pennsylvania that the marked evi
dences of its wonderful management
presented in the report furnish read
ing that should be interesting to every
citizen.
Those who have traveled this coun
try of ours from end to end can testify
to the fact that even in its remotest
parts people accord to the Pennsyl
vanla the proud distinction of being
the best managed trunk lino road in
the United States. No one has ever
heard its superiority questioned by
anybody whose opinion was entitled
to value or not warped by sectional
prejudice.
We have only to look at the stupen
dous figures representing receipts,
tonnage and passengers to cause not
only admiration! but marveling how
so vast a concern, so ramified in Its
operations and involving such an Im
mense amount of executive ability in.
ltd varied departments, can be operated
as successfully as this one has always
been. Think of a road earning f 135,-
000,000, carrying 130,.00,000 touB of
freight and 80,934,611 passengers. Such
figures literally bewilder, and nat
urally should make every citizen feel
proud, whether Interested as stock
holders or merely as sharers of the
,, prosperity this great aggregation of
money and superior management has
conferred upon the state and country.
Another feature connected with the
Pennsylvania's management Is the
fact that there has ever been nn at
mosphere of honesty surrounding all
its doings. There have been no de
falcations, no embezzlements, and

Tun people are anxiously awaiting
the reorganization of Council. Since
the late election all attention of the
average Councilman seems to be
absorbed by "slate" mnklng. "Fence"
building before election and "slate"
making after It deprives the borough
of considerable service. But It will
go on this way until the people see
tho advantages of a city charter.
A correspondent writes to the
Herald over the signature "Labor,"
asking when the Reading company
will stop stealing from the men their
honest wages. The best answer to the
question can bo found in the editorial
published in the Herald of last
Tuesday evening.
Now that theUnited States Supremo
Court has rendered decisions uphold
ing the MoKinley bill and ex-Speaker
Reed's decision as to what constitutes a
quorum the Democrats will probably
reach the conclusion that alj Republl
cau brains are not absorbed by partW
san politics.
When Jay Gould recovers will he
follow Rockufoller's example and give
a million to charity, or will he pose in
justification of the old couplet?
"When the devil was sick the devil a monk
would be i
When tho devil got well the devil a monk
was ho."
The. Councilmen who figured so
conspicuously as life preservers of the
people in tlie recent election would do
the people a favor by explaining what
part their present "slate" makiug
plays "in the interest of all con
cerned." New Orleans has her Mardl Oras,
but Shenandoah knocks her out with
her you-tiokle-me-I-tlckle-you political
socials. Who wouldn't be a straight
laced, holler-thau-thou politician ?

THE BUSINESS WAS OF A
ROUTINE OHARAOTER.
THE WHITE STREET BUILDING.
The Export Has Not Submitted
His Report-The Building Will
Remain Vacant for an In
definite Time.
OHOOL ehildron who
had the benefit of the
commodious rooms in
the White street school
building will be
obliged to put up with
the temporary quar
ters in churches and
halls for an ind"finito period, probably
until tho close of tho presont term.
It was expected that a roport on tbo
condition of the condemned building
would bo submitted at the meeting of tho
School Board last night, but this was not
done.
Presidont Beddall and Superintendent
Freeman stated that Howard Murphy, of
Philadelphia, had promised a preliminary
report of his examination of the structure,
but for some unaccountable reason it had
not arrivod. Mr. Beddall also stated that
he was ongagod ia making measurements
of tho building to enable Mr. Murphy to
give his opinion of just what should be
done with the structure.
After a brief discussion it was decided to
allow tbo building to remain as it was un
til the next mooting of tbn Board, by
which time Mr. Murphy will bo communi-
Ci'.od with and Mr, Beddall will havo com
pleted his measurements.
All Ihe members of the Board were
present at the meeting. Daniol Ogden oc
cupied his seat on the Board for the first
time as tho succissor of N. J. Owens.
Superintendent Freeman reported that
ho has located tho schools that were forced
to vacato the White street building in the
M. E. and P. M. Sunday school rooms,
tho Presbytorian chapol. Franoy's lull and
tho hall of the Lloyd street building. He
also Btated that the Phcenix Hose Company
very kindly tendered tho Use of its mooting
room but a trial of a day and n half showed
the placo was not largo enough.
An Important Difference.
To make) it apparent to thousands, who
think themselves ill, that they are not af
fected with arty disease, but that tho sys
tem simply needs cleansing, is to bring
comfort home to thoir hearts, as a costive
condition is easily cured by using Syrup of
iigs. Manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co.
An Enjoyable Affair.
The Authors' Tea, held In tho P. M.
church hall last evening under the auspices
ot tne uurisllan Enueavor Society of the
Presbyterian church, was an exceedingly
enjoyahie afl'tir. The hall was filled with
patrons. During and after the supper there
was a unique literary and musical enter
tainment, in which were Introduced
tableaux representing famous authors of
the pan and present ages. A nice sum
was netted by the society.
