Small Business for a Cent. The' time Is not far off before a Chinese wall will be built around Pottsvllle. The people down In the Mountain City are getting very exclusive of late and small things do not escape their notice. A poor Italian pretzel baker, who was too poor to own or hire a team, peddled his pretzeU on a push cart and sold them, the pretzels, to school children two for a cent. The Chief Burgess swooped down upon the Dago and threatened him with arrest it he continued to sell hU pretzels on the streets. Of course, the poor fellow quit, but fakirs and others who are continually allowed to pull the wool over the eyes of the people are allowed to carry on their business. Strouse's watch charms are elegant and reasonable in price. A Thriving: Industry. The Shenandoah Manufacturing Com pany has grown Into a most thriving industry. Its factory Is like a bee hive and over fifty girl operatives are kept busy turning out cap of all designs. Mr, John S. Housenlck, tho secretary of the company, always receives visitors In most cordial manner and takes pleasure in showing thorn about the plant. There are also twenty men connected with the factory. This la quite an Item in the way of employing the surplus labor of the town and would be, perhaps, more fully realized were the works shut down. One of the very interesting features of the plant, is a paper box factory. The com pany makes all its own boxes, and as its trnde has spread to large proportions this department is kept very busy. Strouse Is the leading jeweler. Mr. Yost Departs.

IC flfti lEM 1UUU AHEAD LUUflUL DliUDbS llliU 111b PIPE SHALL BE SUBJECTED TO HYDRAULIC TEST. Uractor (mln: Contractor Qulnn Raises a Question as to Six Thousand Dollars the Borough Has Wlthheld-The ReservolrtVbe Repaired. A special meetinglRit the Borough Council was held last ornlng to consider matters pertaining to tuV public "water works. The members In attendance were Messrs. Meluskey, Kane.LMcElhenny, Boehm, Straughn, Kerns, Ggble, Hand, Reese and McGulre. Mr. Meluskey said that Contractor McAdam was ready to test tlft water pipes as soon as he could hear fropi, Con tractor Qulnn and the latter gentleman had stated mac ne couiu muse me iesb ou three days' notice, but he wanted Council to sny whether it would be ready to pW to tho pipe manufacturers the 80,000 H has reserved as soon as the pipe is tested; The committee recommended that the test be made by hydraulic pressure. Mr. Gable favored the test recom mended, because it would require the use, of a gauge which would tell at once whether or not any leakages existed lu the pipes and, on Mr. Boehm's motion, the test was decided upon. After somo discussion about the fO.000 It was decided, upon motion of Mr. Straughn, that the water committee bo empowered to consult with the borough's counsel and net under their advice as to the test of tho pipe and the payment of the 50,000. Mr. Gable said the secret of the trouble at the Brandonvllle reservoir Is that the foundation stone of the wing wall is split and the water makes its way through to tho clay. He believed the re pairs could ba made for betweon $50 and 570. The matter was referred to the water committee with power to act. Mr. Meluskey said Martin Mullahy was willing to haul coal from the Brandon vllle railway station to the water works tor 44 cents a ton. The borough is now paying 50 cents a tou. On motion of Mr. Reese.the water committee was instructed to again advertise for bids for the work. Mr. Gable thought n test should be made at the Davis' Run plant to see if a saving of coal could be made and the matter was left to the water committee with power to act. The object is to run the pumps with and without the con densers and measure the quantity of coal consumed In each case. All watches repaired by Strouse guar anteed for one year. PERSONAL.
