I was looking over tho annual report ol
the Rush township auditors the other day
and reading it mado very pleasant pastimo
for a half hour or so. All tho office holders
there aro Germans of the Borks county and
Allentown pattern. They say Pottsictff,
Frackictff and Pbiladelsta, and when thoy
write they follow their pronunciation as
close as they can. One of the accounts
refer to "for communications," "forspiks,"
"fixing roats," and winds up with "we
hereby serdify." Tho tax collectot's
account on the report contains the state'
ment, after reciting the amount of the du
plicate, the collections and tBXOS, "balance
due the collecder 22 sends" As I con
eluded reading the statement I remarked
to a bystander that the Rush township lax
collector stood a poor show to make an in
dependent fortune out of tho duplicate,
The apparently sorious reply was, "No.dat
downshib is not so largo assomooiTde

Mr, E. Davis, of Boston, Mass., camoto

I askod Mr. Davis concerning the impres

tion. Uo answerod promptly that he was
very favorably impressod. Tho road, ho
said, is in a very satisfactory condition and
ovorythintr is working as smoothly as can
ba expected of a new road. "It is equal to
any oloctric road in the country," ho said
it was well constructed and from what I
have scon and hoard I am satisfied tho
company has a lucrative plant."
Mr. Davis' opinion of tho road is well
foundod. Thoro aro many others who are
favorably impressed with tho concern, so
much so that several flattering offers have
been mado by well known capitalists to
purchase tho plant.

Editor Herald : Since the organizt

august body with an impartial oye. Sup
porting them in tho past with both my vote
and yoico, I think I may be granted the
right to criticise somo of their actions.
havo reference to a certain member of the
stroet committee, who is laboring under tho
delusion that be was elected for the sole
purposo of running tho town, and at the
Bame time to care for "his sisters, his aunts,
and his cousins," irrespective of the rights
and privileges of the other fourteen
members of Council. It may be in accord
with human nature to see that one's
relatives aro nursed at tho public tit, yet I
imagine there aro other taxpayors in tho
town who havo rights that should be
respected by their servants. I havo heard
considerable complaint about this self-
stylod Lord Mayor recently, and especially
in reference to placing his brother-in-law's
team doing the majority of the work on tbo
streets. It is titno this man was called
down and glvon to understand his position
1 believe in equality and I also belioyo that

divided. At the organization of Council I
thought tho Republicans were In control
but recent events provo that tbo Lord
Mayor baa tbo upper hand and is tho

of tho street committoo show their manhood
by exerting thoir rights, and not allow tho
man to control tho work of tho committoo,

THE CRAYON FRAUDS.
Many of Our People, Snapping at a Chi
cago Halt.
A few weeks ago this town was flooded
with circulars containing tempting offers
of life-size crayons free of charge. The cir
culars camo from Chicago. Tho only
conditions imposed wero that parties wish
ng a crayon to send on a photograph and
agree that the crayon be suitably framed
and placed on exhibition.
The bait was greedily snapped at and
hundreds of photographs havo been mailod
to tho address given in the circular, tho
wording of which is sufficient to put any
intelligent person on guard.
A "suitable frame" costs several dollars
and as tho "crayon artists" aro to bo judges
of tho suitability of tho frame it is quito
natural that thoy should refuse to givo tho
crayon without one of thoir own frames,
A framo purchasod elsewhere would not bo
suitable to them financially. Tho prices
of the frames are always exorbitant and
cover many times tho cost of tho "crayon,1
which is but fifty cenU.
Tho Herald has ropoatodly exposed this
"crayon" scheme, but tho town is still full
of suckers and every circular fills tho not,
And, strange as it may soom, tho suckers
aro not limited to tho poor and ignorant
classes. Some of our leading citizen? aro
in it."
Any intelligent man or woman must
know that no man or company of men can
afford to flood tho country with first class
crayons lreo ot cuargo raoroiy to aa
yertise." A good crayon is worth from f 10
to (50 and the sucker who lends his faco to
any schemo of tho Chicago kind deserves
to bo mulcted.
THE MURDER TRIAL.

Tho trial of the Kellys for the murder of

yesterday told of the burglary at Lutz'e,
in Barnesville, at 4 a. m. on March loth
the subsequent pursuit of the Kellys and
Blakeslee, and tho shooting of Merget a3
he ordered the fugitives to throw up the!
hands.
While a witness was telling of the cap
ture on Pitch Mountain ono of the Kellys
asked, "What did I toll you?" The
prisoner was silenced.
The trial will probably oonsumo tho bal

appears to bo making a strong case.
A Fairy Story.
Last ovoning two gentlemen who aro
well known throughout tho United States
held a mysterious contorenco In Shamokin,
and it may be that oro long some fugitive
from justice will be captured in this
vicinity. The names of tho gentlemen aro
Captain Linden, of Philadelphia, an
Detectivo McParlan. During tho groat
Mollio Maguire scaro in this region somo
years ago McParlan and Linden did somo
clovor detectivo work and the former is
givon the credit of running to earth th
ringleaders of tho gsng. Last evonin
McParlan camo to Shamokin from Erio
and was met at tho Reading station by
Captain Lindon. Tho movemonts of two
such great dotectivos are always wrapped
in mystery, and tho objoct of their visit is

THE WORLD'S FAIR.
How to Sec It and nt tho Same Time LIvo
an at lloimj.
A few days ago tbo Herald called at
tention to n novel scheme suggested by poo-
o of this place, Mahanoy City, Girard-
villo and Ashland whereby it was pro
posed that a club be formed to rent a
ouso in Chicago with a view to providing
sitors from the towns named to the
World's Fair with comfortable lodging and
good meals during tbeir stay in Chicago on
co-operalivo plan.
Tho scheme has since been discussed with
good results. It has struck a popular chord
and thero aro a score of prominent men
roudy to go into tho scheme, as soon as it
assumes shape.
Tho scheme is to rent a furnished house
in Chicago for six months, the period of the
exhibition, t nd put it in charge of n om-
etent and reliable cateror who can have
full charge and carry out the club's rules
of management.
Tho club can establish a board of trustees-
arid they can seo that all moneys received
aro properly deposited in bank- and ju
diciously expended as roquircd.
It is proposed that sums shall bo paid in
by tho partios becoming members as initia
tion lees and the additional sums shall bo
paid at specified periods so that the whole
amount required of each member shall bo
paid in by May 1st, next.
Tho first step will bo to form a club and
establish rules, which will include the fix
ing of a sum that will secure for each
member first class lodgings and meals
during a week's stay at Chicago.
The sum so paid in by each member
will go into a goneral fund to defray the
cost of renting the house, purchase of
necessaries for the preparation of meals,
and tho wages of such help as may be re
quired to conduct the houso.
Should any one intend staying in Chi
cago two or three weeks ho can make ar
rangements for tbeco-operativo accommo
dations by paying additional assessments
in proportion to those required for a one-
week stay.
Members could be taken in from all
parts of the county and should any one
who has made his payments find it im
possible to go to Chicago a transfer system
could bo arranged by whichtho member
could transfer bis certificate to some re
spectable party, with the sanction of tho
club.
Considerable interest is manifested In the
scheme, but as thoso who already favor it
seem to bo waiting for some one to take
the initiative step tho Herald places its
columns at the disposal of any who may
wish to mako tbo start and will keep a list
of names until an organization is effected.
