The exact ante of tne in stitution of the camp is June 2, 1SS0, but the anniversary will be celebrated to morrow evening in their cosv camti room in the Schmidt building.

The en tertninment prepared for the anniversary celebration is of a high order, nnd a most pleasant time is anticipated to-morrow evening. V So our Dornuuh Fathers the (lfteen tried and true men who mould legislation for lli.uuu lnlinhltnnts ot the largest town in the county have feasted at the ex pense of those ofilcers who are created by the kind wishes of the Councilmeu and the people. The office of Councilman, at best, is a tunnkless position, and hence no ono begrudges them tho full enjoyment or these festive occasions. Kather would I see them occur seml-aunnlly thnn once in every twelve months, btcnu-e I believe that much good results tuereirom in tue slinne of betier legislative enactments. I am lea to tins uenei oy tnerecorus oipast Councils. It will be noticed that no mntter how bitter may have been the llirht to control the orennization of that body by the representatives of the two political parties, a frendly feeling exhibits itself Immediately following these nnnual suppers, ine eight uomocrnts now in Council have pulled togetlier on every miestion that has come before that body since the organization. Withoutquestiun- lng the notion or the mniority, I ncnevc all will ngiee that it is much better lor the borough that partlsau tecllng should be laid nslde otter tho organization, allow ing their notions to he culded more by the public needs tnan irom a party stana Doint. Now that you have indulged in your annual repast, the wotch word should be, "Get together, gentlemen. ' Tho number of cigarette smoking boys I In this town is increasing nt a rate which Is bound to nil up the cemeteries nt n fearful rate. There mnv be more danger ous things to tne youtu or tins inna tnun cigarettes, but I doubt it. It was ever thus. Woman has all the nrotectlon. and noor man must submit nnd take his medicine. Hecent unpleas nntness in n certain family on Coal street caused these reflections, whereby the wife deserted her husband nnd left ns memento of her past lovo six or seven small children. There Is a law that punishes husbands pretty severely for such actions. Don't you believe It would be nn excellent thing to hao n lnw to nunish wives for the same f I think If there wns we would not have so mi'ny disreputable houses, nnd less divorce cases and murders. A man leaves bis wife, into jail he goes. A woman can de sert her husband, go nnd llvo with nil other man ; poor hubby hns got to put up witn n, unless ue has money to lee lawyers for a divorce.
