A Chapter of Very Interesting Points on Various Subjeuta. Now Method for the Con sideration of LIconses. Special IlEitAM) correspondence PoTTSVILbK, March 2". ufltuwJ HERE nro two matters which has been treated of at length in this corrcfiMiudcnco which now require but pass ing nnllco and then. I hope to bid tliem ndleux forover, or at least mention them only when necessity requires it. Tho first is tho condition of our chief amusement hall or building with its concomitant rooms used for business purposes, known as tho Union Hall building and academy. At last the ninusgt rs havo awakened to a realization of tho truth of tho strictures occasionally published con cerning their care of this valuable property and havo commenced tho much needed repairs. In justice to them it must he recorded that a now floor has been placed in tho post otlico and tho leslaurant iloor in tho basement has been patched in spots where it was mobt needed. But little innnoy has been expended so far, to bo suio, but something has been done at any rato which shows some signs of life among tho managers and for which they should receive the thanks of the public. But their good work should be followed up by continued repairs and im provements until thero remains nothing to bo complained of. As tho consummation of tho new opora houso project is so very far off and may bo dropped entirely, it is highly important that tho Academy of Music directors should pay thoir attentions to the approaches of tho theatre and every room occupied or visited by tho habitues thereof, so that tboy may bo mado iuviting, safe and comfortable Tho rents ami profits of a year or two would make all the improvements necessary and the management should not hesitate to devoto tho money to tho purposes mentioned. Till! ELHCTMC MOHT CjUESTleiN, Tho other subject is that of lighting our streets by tho Edison Illuminating Company which lias the contract for four years longer and which has not given tho borough the 2,000 caudle power contracted and paid for. At tho last meeting of tho Borough Ceiuueil tho report of tho Investigating committee came up with a bill for the lighting aud it occasioned a lively tilt resulting in a tax payers' defeat. Upon tho mcro assertion that wo are getting as good a light ns a 2,000 can dle power proiuiso carries with it the com pany's bill was paid, enough members being found ready to follow the Icaderahip of a member who, until recently, was a stock holder In the Illuminating eVnpauy, to squelch all further opposition to tho coin pany. And so again havo tho reformers been balked iu their attempt to get fur tho bor ough what it contracted for and piys for. They should "pick thoir Hints and at 'em again," and not despair over one failure Wo havo a few good Counoilraon and too many poor ones as, I suppose, is the cae In all boroughs where the average intelligent voter takes so little interest in borough mat ters. When peoplo learn to take as much in terest in municipal matters as they do in national affairs many things will bo cor rected for the welfare of the public. .V SKW LICEN8K mai'UNSAKY. Mention was made in a reoent letter of tho advisability of relieving law Judges thiough out tho state of the onerous, dlsagreoublo anil undesirable task of having to grant liquor licenses and it was urged that a new method or plan would be acceptable. Here is ouo which has some new and commendable features iu it, that Senator Hackenburg pro poses to oiler next ivcok. It provides for districting tho state into twenty-four dls1 tricts, live of which shall be in Philadelphia and Schuylkill and Carbon counties slull form one number, 13th district. Tbe bill provides for the appointment by tho Gov ernor of ten Commissioners to be paid 5,000 per year and traveling expenses. They are to be leai lied iu the law aud called license judges. Five of them mutt be appointed from each of the two largest political parties, which now would mean five Democrats aud five Republicans. They are to be commis- sionei for ten years aud not be eligible to re-election, aud they are to be so ooumiis ioned tbat oue Judge of each party shall retire every two years. The sittings or meeting will, if the hill becomes a law, be held at Ilarrisburg ou tbe first Mondays of Jauuary, April and Octo ber of each year aud then the amlgumente of Judges to tho different districts will bo made and the hearings will lie by petition, remou strance and testimony of witnesses, the Judges having previously visited the premises aud made a thorough investigation into the uece-sity for tbe license and the character of tho applicants. Tho license fee is the same but $5 is added for the use of the Commonwealth. Iu this district it Is provided that tbe applloatlous miwt be iu on April let. These are some of the very good features in the new proposed law. NOTKS. NtebobM J. Keeker, of Palo Alto, is auuounoed for Register, mbkiet to Deinacnttle whw. I an Md tut would wak oh iaallat eMnl.

Tho burglar case before 'Squire William 011 Thursday night brought up again a dl camion of the place of confinement whtdk tho borough maintains for prisoners, uepeo tally females. The woman In this case wm unabloto furnish bail and the! only alternative was tho lockud. Tho Justico and othor olll clals were In a quandary. They knew ami said tho lockup was no place for a woman, of whatover character she might be, and It Win only tho generosity of tho constable that saved tho woman in tills case. Whilo tho matter was under discussion in tho Justice's otlico tho sentiment was unanimous that tho borough officials should mako arrangements for the separatu confinement of female prisoners, especially those with any preten sions of respectability. The present place U certainly not fit to bo occupied by any womaa who is oven respectably dressed nnd it is question If tho borough authorities would not be liable to prosecution if tboy forced a femalo prisoner to occupy 0110 of the cells. Women above reproach and of tho most sen sitive nature are liable to becomo victims of circumstaiicos and be arrested whilo on a visit to this town, aud if they wore unable to secure bail and no one wished to assumo charge of them over night what would bo the result of confinement in tills mlserablo lock up in the midst, perhaps, or at least ill a cell adjoining those of a dihroputablo crowd of arrests. There should bo some clean atul separate plnco of confinement for femalo prisoners and until such a placo can lo pro vided tho Borough Council should make a provision whereby tho Council Chamber can bo used for tho purpose Brother Tiloy, of tho Ashland Telegram, announces that ho has received a box of lovely cut llowers from a lady in Chester county. Wo don't know whether or notour frieud Tiley is married, but wo do know some editors in this county who would be bald-hoaded within twenty four hours after making such an announcement. A clothes line belonging to n Bowers street resident was rubbed the other night, but singular enough tho thief only took under wear and left several other valuables pieces behind. That thief's coat vorily covers a multitudo of sins: Some foolish housewives are making com plaints about a young follow who went about town recently offering to enlarge pictures for fifty cents, and throwing in a pound can of baking powder as a premium. Tho com plaint is tbat the young fellow has made calls for second payments. We rogret to say W cannot sympathize with people who allowed, themselves to bo duped by such fakes. We have certainly sounded the warning oftea enough. Obb. USE DANA'S SAKSAP ARILLA, IT9 "THE KIND THAT CURBS." Nntlco to tlio I'libllo.
