Patriotic Sormon.
flKlnE delightful weather
'& WU" yesterday brought the
people out la droves
nml there was a grand
display of spring and
cummer style s by both
sexes. In the after
noon tho pcoplo flocked
on tho mountain sldo
at tho north end of Main street to hear tho
sacred concert by tho Grant Band. So great
was tho crowd many peoplo woro unable to
get within soveral hundred feet of tho place
where the band was.
The concert was an excellent ono. Tho
selections wcro of a patriotic and sacred
order and picked from tho compositions of
some of the most famous composers, and all
were rendered by the band In a brilliant
style. Unfortunately the position taken by
tho band was in a hollow and this together
with a stifl wind blowing uud clouds of dust
speeding in all directions made the concert
somewhat a disappointment to many. They
.rc unablo to hear the selections dis
tinctly. But thoso who were fortunate
enough to get near the baud and had fa
vorable locations were aflbrded a raro treat.
Many carriages dotted tho hillside. Some
peoplo drove from Ashland, Girafdville,
Frackvillo and Mahanoy City to hear tho
concert. Tho hand will bo urged to givo
another in the near future, but in a more
suitable place, probably at tho old Columbia
park.

The Councllmcn had a good laugh at tho
meeting on Thursday evening and at Chair
man Betteridgo's oxpeuso. At a previous
meeting Councilman Gablo took a scat out-
stdo tho Tailing in tho Council chamber and
when he arose to speak on a motlou Council
man Finney raised tho point of order that
Mr. Gablo was not In u position to discuss tho
question, as ho was not within the Council
chamber, Tho chairman declared that tho
point was not well taken aud that Mr. Gablo
was properly seated. Last Thursday cvontng
Councilman Schcifly took a seat outsldo the
ratling and when ho arose to Bpcak on a
motion a point was made that Mr. Scheifly
was not properly seated In the Council
chamber and could not enter tho discussion.
Chairman Bettcridgo declared tho point well
taken. A roar of laughter followed and
notwithstanding his attention was called to
the ruling at tho last meeting, tho chairman
stood by the decision,
Councilman Schelily notified tho wateV
committee, verbally, on Thursday night that
ho wants tho first $20,000 worth of water
bonds which tho borough proposes issuing.
Ho said ho did not wish them himself, but
had been requested to mako tho application
in behalf of other parties.
Tlicro is a difference of opinion among
somo of tho Councilmen as to who should
receive water bond No. 1. There aro many
applicants for it.
Tho projierty owners of West Centre
street who aro interested in the proposed
sowerage Hue to run from Pear alley to tho
Kohinoor colliery have taken steps at last.
The pipe for tho lino has been ordered and
work on It will probably begin next week.
A littlo girl told mo tho other day that one
of our charming young school teachers has a
in the church at 7:30 o'clock this evening to
make arrangements for the funeral.
Narrow 'cape.
Tbo seventeen-month old daughter of
Patrick Gibbons, of East Oak street, had a
narrow escape ycsterdiy. It got hold of a
bottlo of washing blue and swallowed some
of tho contents before tho mother discovered
tho act. Dr. Spalding was summoned. He
gave the child a strong emetic, which caused
tho poisonous liquid to be cast off the stomach.
The child Is out of danger.
A Denial.
Editor Herald: I notice by yesterday's
Sunday Kcict that I was reported as having
offered to fight a cocking main for $500 a side.
I wish to say that I have authorized no such
statement and unless tho News will retract
the statement In its next issue I will bring a
prosecution. I do not propose to bo held
responsible for such an unlawful publication.
Moreover I know of no such arrangement, as
that statement.

During the past few days this town has
been flooded by circulars printed in the
Lithuanian language and many people have
been greatly aroused by tho statements of
certain parties who claim to have had them
translated to the effect that the circulars
declare the Lithuanians have a majority in
this town and propose capturing the majority
or all of tho borough offices next spring.
Tho fact is the circulars have nothing to do
with local politics but aro intended to arouse
protests against the recent treaty between
the United States and Russia.

Councilman Lamb made a hit at the
Councilmanic luncheon in Scheider's tho
other evening. Councilman Scheifly was so
seated at one of the tables that his back was
turned toward a large looking glass and those
who occupied seats at an opposite table, by
looking up at the glass, had a splendid view
of the large bald spot on tho back of Scheifly's
head. When tho luncheon was fairly under
way Councilman Lamb chanced to look up at
the gloss and saw the vacant spot, "Say,
boys," he exolaimed, "it Is time for all of us
to go. The sun Is rising." Ode.
