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.

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.

OBE'S OBSERVATIONS.
What He Seen mid lleurs During Ills
Travels.
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

behind. That thief's coat vorily covers a

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.
