Bpectftl IlKiut.i) correspondence.
PoTTBVlLLli, Jan. 23. Thcro Is consider
able discussion in progress liero over tho new
theatrical license law, which requires each
traveling company to pay an annual license
fee of $50 for etch county in tho state.
Theatrical advanco men who have visited
this town denounce tho law in unmistakable
terms and declare that If It is enforced it
will practically close the theatres outsldo the
large cities, or counties whoro thoro are
several large towns. Companies that may
wish to comply with tbo law will bo obliged
to iqueezn eight or ten days into each county
in order to mako tbo average feu for each
performance eoniowhere near a reasonable olo
and any one with tho slightest knowledge of
the theatrleal business must know that it
will be almost impossible to do that. Tho
booking of companies does not depend
entirely upon the managor of tho company,
that is the arrangement nf dates. Ho may
have two weeks ot empty dates on his hands
whsn arranging his tour and to fill them be
oblljod to make two or thrco for Schuylkill
county, then iump into New Jersoy for two
or three days, then go into Lackawanna
oounty, and then jump to Now York. He
inuit go wherever ho can 6 1 euro a theatre.
Now it might happen that these few dates
would be all a manager would need to fill
the season and it is not probable that ho
would willingly give $100 for the privilege.
It i much more likely that ho would decide
to bold off and wateh for accidental openings.
In this way Pennsylvania would lose many
attractions.
On the other hiuid, soma pooplo think the
law is a good one, in that it will drivo
"barn-stormers" out of tho field and leave it
to the legitimate companies
County Treasurer Dochert was asked the
other day if ho proposed to enforco tho law,
He said ho had been advised by his counsel
not to do so until ho can learn tho rcsnlt of
the test cases in Berks, Lancaster and York
counties, where tbo authorities have at
tempted to enforce tho law, but the theatrical
companies refuse to pay up. Tho hitch is on
the question of how tho collection of the
license is to bo made, and tho Attornoy
General's decision on that point has not been
rendered.
Athough several months must elapse before
th nominations for tho fall election can bo
made, politicsarebeginn'ugjto boom, Among
tli. early birds looking for the worms is Hon
Ellas Davis. He has declared himself o
candidate for Sherilf and he has met with
grsat encouragement from all parts of the
county. Davis is a good-natured fellow and
oaunot help making new friends dilly.
Major S. A. Losch is seeking nomination
for a State office. Should ho full In that ho
will ask to bo returned from the Fourth rep
resentative district. He may bo disappointed
in both, as thcro arc a number of men in his
district who want a chance at the shinny,
among them Earl Whitman, of Schuylkill
Haven, the Major's home; Seth Orme, of St.
Clair, is als.ia candldato for the Legislature.
Ex-District Attorney Whltehouse has tho
Congressional bee in his bonnet and oxpects
to start for Kline township in a few days to
eco how many will stand by him.
Major Finney's candidacy for Senator in
the 30th district means more than itthows on
the surface. If he can get the nomination
his election will bo assured. It is a big un
dertaking, but many here lielieve it is in the
little fellow's bones to "get there." Bun,
"ih. Wlckluu- l'n.tiiiau."
Now that W. J. Scaulan is a memory of the
past and that Jew Murphy has retired, the
crities and the public both declare Eugene
O'Hourke to be the coming Irish comedian.
He will shortly be seen in Shenandoah In his
new play, "The Wliklow Postman."

TO TRY AGAIN
For the Iletlef ot liiild Volunteer Fire
men,
W. F. King, of Mt.Garmel, piesident of the
Pennsylvania State Firemens' Association,
has Issued circulars stating that the Associa
tion intends toie introduce atthenext I.cgls
laturc the bill to pension fireman. Ho says
"that during theeeadou ut ihe Legislature of
1SB3 a determined effort was made to estab
lish a fund for tho relief of firemen disabled
in the performance of their duties, and fur
the widows of those killed outright. Had tho
bill become a law, it would have enabled us
to maintain our permanently disabled com
panions comfortably fur the balance of tin i r
lives. It would also have enabled us to pro
vide-libcrally for the widows of thoso killed
in the service. In order to thoroughly un
derstand this subject, it should be known
that the proposed fund was to be created out
of tho taxes levied upon foroign fire insur
ance companies doing business in the State of
Pennsylvania. Not one penny of tho tax
payers' money in any city, borough or to u
hip in the ststo was to be applied to this pur
pose. Tho plan was to dlvido tho two per
cent, tar, now paid to tho statoby the foroign
firo insurance companies, and havo ono per
cent, of it go Into tho treasuries of the cltlos,
borough and townships, whero tho business is
dono. Tholocal nuthorlties could then apply
tho money received from this source to tbo
improvement of tho firo service, audtboro
maining ono per cent, could be paid as now
to the state. By this method neither the in
surance comr allies nor any other interest
would suffer. Tho money would come en
tirely from the state, and as tho state appro
prlatee annually millions of dollars to our
hospitals and charitable institutions, it was
thought this pittance, (it amounts to but $75,
000.00 rer annum for the whole state), might
havo been grunted, more especially as tho
firemen aro saving tho Insurance companies
millions ol dollars annually."

A mooting of tho joint committee having
the Soldiers' Monument project in charge will
bo held in Refowich's hall at S o'clock this
evening, promptly.
It Is hoped tho representatives of every
organization Interested will bo piesent.
For several months this matter has been
dragging along listlessly and the inactivity
of tho committco has caused anxious inquiries
by the individuals and organizations that
havo contributed to tho fund.
I It is tlmo that those people.srould be given
satisfaction. If the pooplo elected to serve
on the committee cannot or do not wish to
do so let them resign ai1 mako room for
others who can and will put somo life into
the movement. Meetings of the committee
have been called repeatedly, but adjourn
inents havo srwedily followed because of the
absence of too many representatives.
There is no doubt that the movement can
bo made a success if the proper mon are at
the helm and no douVt at the mee.ing this
evening it will bo plainly sttod that men
suffering from "that tired feeling" will eon
(er a favor upon the eop!e if they will re
quest their respective organizations to apglnt
their successors.
Tho movemeiit Is now over a year old
but by no moiini too old to bear fruit. Tho
peop'o of Pottsvlllc were at work nearly
fifteen years beforn they were ready to tin

A few years ago, and for many years
previous, tho Seotiuien of Shenandoah aud

was sung for seveial days after. But timet)

secma to have become very faint. Tho anni
versary was to have been celebrated at the
Smith residence on East Coal street last
night, but It wss not. Mr. and Mrs. John
