Lively times are predicted In the
next legislature over a proposed bill
to provide that every man must se

on tho subject of Sunday funerals
ln a small nutshell as follows: "Tho
only wny to get them to stop de

tho liverymen to double their
charges for Sunday carriages ond
tho sextons to double theirs for Sun
day work at tho cemetery. Then
tho Sunday funerals will fall off.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
AlwHt Those Tlglitlcs Bathers.
Editor of The Citizen:
Let me commend you on your edi
torial in n late Issue of The Citi
zen on the bathing nuisance nlong
the shores of our rivers. Also, the
(8hores of the Lnckawaxen arc In
vaded by hordes of naked savages
most any wnrm summer day. These
men nnd boys nlways succeed in at
tracting attention to their presence
by shouting to ench other In lan
guage betraying n vile mind In their
naked bodies.
What Influenco of church, school
nnd parental education do these
boys reveal? Do they not prove that
wo are rather arrogant In sending
large sums of our money to foreign
missions for the uplift of savages
of other races, with so much to do
nt home?
Is thero no remedy? It Is certain
that to plead publicly through tho
press for the cessation of bathing
nakedly in public will remnln with
out effect on such minds ns are
betrayed by their possessors' ac
tions and utterances.
It seems that we get scant police
protection for the taxes wo pay.
Has It never occurred to any en
terprising citizen of our town that
It might be profitable to establish
bathing pavilions on the spots most
tempting on the shores of the Dy
berry and Lackawaxen rivers and
extend thereby the pleasure of open
air bathing to many now deprived
of it?
A SUBSCRIBER.
It has been suggested by a think
ing citizen that It would bo well to
print some day the names of these
skin-tight bathers, also the names
of some of the woman that watch
them. Ed.
-The Citizen Is improving.
