|TOWNSHIP GOVERNMENT.
SWEEFING CHANGE 3 IN LAWS FOR
FOSTER AND HA2LE.
Artpr ITurcli 11W), Tliey Will Be
Ruled iti t. Mnniiur Similar to Bor
ough.—Tin uo tinier I interne Township,
Affected by the New Law.
The fivo most important townships of
this county will undergo a radical
change in their government next spring.
A law passed at the last session of the
legislature gives to townships having a
population of 300 to each square mile of
its territory a government as nearly
akin to that of boroughs as it is possible
to make it, and students of townships,
which have suffered many abuses of
many and varied sorts in tho past de
cade or two, are awaiting with anxiety
to soe what tho result of the experiment
will bo.
The townships that will be effected in
this county are Plains, Plymouth, Now
port, Hazle and Foster. The first elec
tion under the new law will be held on
tho third Tuesday of next February and
tho new officers will qualify on the first
Monday in March, 1900.
Tho new law divides township into
first and second classes. Those not
having a population of 300 to tho square
mile will bo second-class townships and
will continue to bo governed as at pres
ent.
FIRST-CLASS TOWNSHIPS.
All others are to bo known as town
ships of tho first class, and the now act
proscribes that first-class townships
shall have a board of township com
missioners, the number of whom will
bo not less than five, and wbero the
population is more than 5,000 an ad
ditional commissioner for each 2,000 in
excess of 5,000. Commissioners shall
servo without salary aud shall hold no
other township office.
Tho first board of commissioners will
apportion tho township into districts,
giving it as many districts as it is en
titled to according to population, and
at all succeeding eloctions for commis
sioners each commissioner will be
elected by the citizens of the district
ho represents, as council men in bor
oughs are at present chosen. It is not
necessary, however, to be a resident of
the district in which a commissioner is
to be voted for to make him eligiblo.
POWERS OF COMMISSIONERS.
Tho commissioners will 'organize by
the election of one of their number for
president. Thoy shall meet at least
once a month. A majority shall consti
tute a quorum and the following powers
shall be vested in the board of commis
sioners: To grade, light, pave and re
pair highways; to curb and pavo side
walks in villages; to establish a system
of sewerage and drainage when neces
sary for the public health; to provide
for costs and maintenance; to contract
for tho carrying off of sewerage; to
abate nuisances and regulate the
running of animals at large; to establish
a night watch and police force; to pro
vide lockup; to arrest and confine vag
rants; to purchase lire engines; to
regulate circuses and public entertain
ments; to levy tax; to borrow monoy,
etc. Tho limit of tho debt shall not ex
ceed 2 por cent of tho valuation.
CAN APPOINT SUPERVISORS.
No indebtedness shall be incurred
except by ordinance. All ordinances
shall bo published at least twice in a
newspaper. Tho commissioners can
appoint supervisors and enginoers.
Highways must bo kept cloar. Owners
of property can petition for sidewalks,
the majority of tho owners fronting
highway shall make it lawful to have it
done. Commissioners can require own
ers to grade, pave and curb. If the
owners neglect, tho board can grade
and pave, and file a lien on property
unless paid.
The commissioners havo the elocting
of a township clerk and the salary shall
be fixed by ordinance.
TREASURER A GOOD OFFICE.
The township treasurer shall be elect
ed by tho voters to serve three years.
He shall receive as compensation 5 per
cent of all taxes received or collected by
him, unless a different rato is fixed by
the commissioners thirty days before his
election. The same person may serve as
treasurer of the township and the school
board, but no member of the school
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach tho iliseasod portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
tmd that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un
less the inflamation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will lie destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

hoard, no township commissioner or
township auditor can hold the position
of township treasurer. This official Is
not eligible to succeed himself.
Assessors and auditors shall be elect
ed as at present and shall perform the
duties now required by law.
PURPOSE OF TIIK LAW.
The need of some legislation that
would put a check on the extravagances
and misgovern raeut in existence in most
of the richest townships In tho state has
long been rccognizod as of pressing
importance, but how to best reach tho
difficulty was tho question which trou
bled state legislators.
Whether the proper remedy lias been
found for the abuses complained of re
mains to bo proven, but there is some
little consolation in the fact that the
now order of things cannot beany worso
than tho existing, and such being the j
case, it will bo welcomed by taxpayers
as an attempt at least to got at the
bottom of tho money-wasting and un
scrupulous practices that have boon so
burdensome under tho present laws.
If some legislator would now devise
a better method of governing township
schools the people and taxpayers of
school districts now suffering from the
rule of unscrupulous boards would have
just cause to rejoice.
Welcome Home for Soldier*.
A meeting to make preparations to
welcome home a number of young men
of the region who served in tho Eigh
teenth regular infantry in tho Philip
pines was held at Hazleton Friday even
ing. Captain Giles was selected as

not yet known.

Wilkesbarre Record, Sept. 28, 1809.
The Bon-Ton Stock Company appear
ed to advantage at tho Grand opera
house last evening in a dramatization
of Ouida's novel "Moths." Tho per
formance was interesting and tho act
ing was above tho ordinary reportory
order. Josio Price as Lady Dolly was
natural and effective in this most sin
gular character. Jeanotto Ashbaugh
as the Duchess looked pretty and dis
played hor charms witli graceful abil
ity. Emma Bunting as Fuschfa Leach
was chic and delightful. Mr. Leyburno
appeared to a disadvantage as tho Duke
of Mull, tho part not affording him
scope sufficient. Bert Merget as Prince
ZouraiT and James Durkiu as Lord
Jura were pleasing. The company will
appear this afternoon in "The Census
Taker" and tonight in "Tho Castaways."

A PARALLEL
Sometimes adown the city street.
Where beauty's a forgotten thing,
The voice of some lone bird thrills
sweet
With tidings of the far-off Spring.
So, in my heart, when all is dark,
And patience sickens to despair,
Hope flutters like a prison'd lark,
And pours her rapture on the air.
I cannot tell why this should be,
While sorrow's cup Is yet to drain,
And ev'ry pleasure comes to me,
Like storm-strewn roses, flaw'd with
pain.
But we are one, the bird and I,
In suffering and yearning one;
With memories that cannot die
Of flow'rs, blue ocean, and the sun.
