Anil It 1* Aggravating. As a rule most people are intensely exasperating when, after wading through some exciting story in the newspaper which they have devoured with breath less interest, to find at the finish it is only a trap to advertise some wonderful soap or patent medicine. Of course its disappointing, but just consider bow cleverly it's done, and by the way, what a wonderful industry has been develop ed in this mode of advertising. Some of the great medicine firms pay their ad vertising agents as high as SIO,OOO a year and a certain manufacturer of soap pays his advertiser $25,000. Just think of it, and while you are thinking just remem ber that you should see I. Refowich about that fall suit and overcoat.

Powell, of Allentown, asking per mission to cut the main sewer in the rear of his lots on Adams street. The matter was discussed by members of council and the street commissioner, and was finally referred to the street com mittee with instructions to look over the ground and use their own judgment. The treasurer reported having expend ed ¥437.44, and had a balance on the Ist inst. of $1190.60. The report was ap proved.

McCarthy, of the board of health, was present and gave a synopsis of the work done. He urged the council to still further assist the board, financially and otherwise. A MiHimmuri Drama. The name "Burglar" has, doubtless, cost the owners of the play thousands of dollars. The impression created by the title of the play is misleading. There is none of the blood and thunder Bowery style, although one would not think so unless one had seen the performance, it is more truly that style of dramatic composition that in modern stage no menclature is called society drama, and is lightened with touches of pure Thomas' comedy, which comes out so strong in his great play "Alabama." The opening scene is laid in the home of the wealthy. The happiness of the particular home in question is marred by the fact that the husband and father turns out to be a burglar, escapes arrest by compromise, and goes away. He is captured, and in escaping from jail is supposed to be shot and reported dead, lhe wife marries again, and in the second act comes the news that her first husband is not dead. The burglar, bent on plunder, visits the homo of his wife, not knowing it is such, and is discovered by his own little daughter, whereupon ensues one Of the most original scenes ever seen on the stage. The play has been seen here before, and is well-known, being taken from Mis. Burnett s charming sketch "Kdi tha's Burglar." This sketch Augustus Thomas has enlarged upon and turned into a four-act play of great strength, but the interest still centers about "Editha" and her burglar, whom she enjoins to "burgle, quietly," and the third act is consequently the act of the play. John Pecora has opened a tailoring establishment at 81 Washington street, where he has a complete line of samples for suits, trousers, overcoats, etc. lie ' requests a trial order from those who de sire custom-made clothing. For bargains, buyers don't forget Her- . ner's mammoth store. Water for Hazleton. 1 1azleton's councils are considering a project that will give it a water supply for many years to come. City Engineer Celiax recently completed surveys and estimates of the cost of bringing water from the Nescopeck creek, and the plans lie lias prepared are receiving favorable consideration, notwithstanding the fact that tlie first cost will be very large. In liis report tlie city engineer lias two plans. Tlie first provides for an im pounding reservoir three miles west of Hughesville, a pumping station there capable of sending 2,060,000 gallons of water daily to Hazleton, wiiere it would be stored in a reservoir of 10,000,000 gallons capacity, which would be a week's supply for the city. The cost of this plan complete, with distributing pipes through tlie city and all necessary buildings and machinery, is estimated at $216,801. The second plan provides for an im pounding reservoir at tlie Iloneyhole, a distributing reservoir on top of tlie Mill mountain south of the Iloneyhole, and pipes direct then to Hazleton. This would require less than a mile of pump ing, while tlie first plan requires over six miles of pumping. However, the topography of tlie country around the iloneyhole, and tlie present condition of the dam, would necessitate an expendi ture of SIO,OOO to put it in shape for such a purpose, and the water there is not as good as farther down the stream. Complications might also result from shutting oil tlie water from tlie grist and saw-mills. The city engineer recommends the first plan and tlie water committee of tlie councils lias also indorsed it. The past summer lias shown to Hazleton tlie necessity of owning and controlling its water supply, and it is very probable that the plan will be accepted with a few alterations. The County Institute. County Superintendent Harrison has about completed arrangements for tlie animal county institute of teachers, which will begin its session this year in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium on Monday, October 22. Tlie corps of instructors is an especially able one. Among them are: Dr. A. E. Winship, editor of tlie School Journal, Boston; Prof. Charles Albert, of Bloonisburg normal school; Prof. George Twitmyer, principal of tlie seliools at Ilonesdale, and Mrs. Amy Blair, of Philadelphia, an authority on physical culture.

McLaughlin was tried and sentenced in April, 1893, being charged with causing the death of James Gil martin, by striking him with an iron liar while ejecting him from his saloon about two years ago. Application was made for a new trial. The application was denied and an ap peal was made to tire supreme court. Pending a decision McLaughlin had been out on SIO,OOO hail, and had been keeping a saloon at Mayfleld, Lacka wanna county. He will be taken to the penitentiary to serve out his sentence in a few weeks. Wedileil an Actress. Ernest 11. Sclinabet, aged 22 years, of San Jose, Lai., was wedded in Scranton on Monday to May Ilillman, an actress and a member of Scammon's "The Bur glar' company. Neither the manager nor the company knew of the marriage. Miss Ilillman is 22 years of age and was known as one of the "Ilillman sisters." Her real name was Mrs. May liriar, and she is a daughter of George Hammond, of Washington, D. C. Young Schnabet knew Miss Ilillman last season and came east ten days ago, joining his fiancee at Schenectady, N. Y., and accompanying the company until the marri ige in Scranton. PLEAUSRE CALENDAR.
