Complaint, was. made that UndertaKer
Snyder had made a burial without pro
caring a .permit frpm the, "Board of
Health, and that the sexton ot tne untxu
anlau cemetery bad failed lo exact a
permit. It was decided to notify the
undertaker and sexton' to appear before
the next meeting ot the board and show
cause why ,the, .lines prescribed by the
rules Bhould not be Imposed. It was at
first suggested .hat summary action be
taken, as the undertaker was before the
board once, before and promised tq
observe the rules strictly.
The board is evidently determined to
hereafter. handle, without gloves, all peo
pie who do not observe the rules, as, the
board ha) been in existence long enough
and notice of the regulations has been
sufficient for the public to know what is
required. More than this, the summer
season will not allow any laxity in sanl
tar measures.
Health Officer Miles made a very
lengthy report, in which he showed
good month's service notwithstanding
the winter weather had not sufficiently
broken to admit very effective work. The
report,' showed that, the officer abated
thirty six nuisances. He had six privy
wells, ten asa bins, five yards, two cellar,
two hog pens, a stable and three houses
cleaned and improved and required the
abatement of a number ot general nuis
antes. The officer found a West Centre
s.reet dealer offering for sale dressed
poultry that was not fit for use and jiad
the" stock removed. Disinfectants were
used by the officer in two houses in which
diphtheria had existed.

A Decision by Judge Livingston Allow
ing Them Full Swing.
If Judge Livingston, ot Lancaster
county, is correct In his ruling and I
presume he knows what he is talking
about "Dick" Amour1 and the other
detectives will be out of a job, so far as
their positions relate to arresting peddlers
for doing business In this commonwealth
without a state license. Four persona
were before the Judge In question charged
with peddling. In his decision, dismissing
the defendants, he held that the peddler
had a legitimate right to ply their voca
tion In any part of the state, under the
provisions of the Interstate commerce
law.
V
I am nlmost led to believe that Judge
Livingston has been misquoted, on account
of the Injustice bucU a ruling inflicts upon
the legitimate businessmen., The latter
are compelled to pay ttaxes,, mercantile
licenses, high rents and other incidental
expenses, while the peddlers have free
range ot territory without paying a cent
into the coffers of the state for the prlvi
lege. It the decision will stand the test
ot the Supreme Court ruling, the business
men should petition the Legislature for
some remedial legislation that will give
them the proper protection. This action
should be taken before the adjournment
of the present session, otherwise they will
bo compelled to wait two years at least,
During my stroll around town one day

fashioned hospitality, and the proprie

gressive citizen is ot the best. Politically,
Mr. Morrison Is very liberal in his views,
knowing no faction or ring and always
voting for the best men in county and
local elections. On national questions he
has affiliated with the Greenback party,
but I think he is iioy a bimetalist

dnalrea. well knowlnir that to refuse would
endanger their'' chances for sechMn. a
renewal the fojlo.wteg year.; .The pl'an.M
Is said, gives general satisfaction. Such
a course, if pursued by our judges, would
make, a great change for the better in this
county.
The people of, the United States .are
itching, for a war, and it does not matter
much which way the guns are pointed 'so
that they are fired oil and mal$e a noise,
Germany, England, Hussla, bpaln, any
country or anybody, will do, just so there
is death, devastation and carnage. Our
beautiful White Squadron must be given
achancoiotry Us prowess; that's what
I they are built for.
P
A war just now would be a.blcssing to
many. A call lor several nundreu tliou
sand men would be quicky responded to.
It would, provide ,ror , ne jflrge. army
of .Idle men, and at the same time start
up all the Idle manufactories. War
ehould be avoided at all times, but Pt
present the American people are crying
for it as much so as the children cry' for

The Play.
A large and, fashionable audience wit
nessed the production of "Antony and
Cleopatra" at Ferguson's theatre last
eveulng by MUa Lillian Lewis and dm
pany and was highly pleasgd with tb
performance. Miss Lewis' Cleopatra was
a very conscientious piece of work and
she was very ably supported, especially
by Charles B. Hanford, who portruyed
the character ot Antony. The scenic aud
general stago effects ot tbe play were
excellent. The living picture following
the pay were also well appreciated.

Wages Today.
WORKING
TIME'
. i i .
REDUCED.
ALL THE COLLIERIES OF THE COMPANY
WILL BE IDLE ON MONDAY AND '
START AGAIN ON TUESDAY.
The Working Schedule for April Will
be Considerable Smaller Than
That la Force the Past
Few Weeks.
The employes of the Philadelphia &
Reading Coal & Iron Company in this
district received tneir pay today. As the
pay was a pretty good one It Bhould make
business in town a little more brisk than
It has been the past week or two.
With tbe closing down ot the collieries
tonight the steady three-quarter lime Will
end. At loast this Is the Indication. None
ot the collieries will be operated on Men
day. They will resume operations on
Tuesday morning and It Is expected that
the resumption will be on a reduced
working schedule, probably three-quarter
timo for four days a week.
This supposition is not based upon any
information given out at headquarters,
but solely taken from discussions among
people who seem to know something
about the coal trade circles. Notwlth
standing the absence of official informa
tion on the outlook, it seems pretty cer
tain that the working time for April will
be considerably less than it has been the
past few weeks.
One of the causes for tbe reduction of
the working time is the Ailing of the
stock yards. There is hardly a market
for coal .aud the continued war between
the companies prevents an opening
Nearly all the coal the P. & It. company
has been mining lately has tound its way
Intb the stock yatds, and the yards at
Mahanoy City are now filled. The work
ing time for tbe next month or two now
seems to be entirely dependent upon the
termination and result ot the war between
the companies ad to the pro rata of
tonnage. ,
