The Christmas entertainment of the .Viethodist Sunday school was held last night In the church and it proved to be one of the greatest successes they ever had. Notwithstanding the In-clemency of the weather the church was filled and the entertainment was greatly enjoyed. The program con-sisted of recitations, singing, dialogues and different exercises and although the biggest part of the program was carried mil by small children It was <lone in such a manner as to evoke applause throughout the.'ii'ire time. One of the features of the entertain-ment was the reciting of Miss Mary Moyer. of Reading, who held the and ienee spell hound while she was on the stage. She was loudly applauded every time she appeared and too much can not be said about her ability to itold the attention of a large audience. The children of the Sunday school were treated with candy and an orange while the Infant class received books In addition. JOHN KANE HURT. \ peculiar trolley accident, in which Motormaa John Kane, of this borough, was the victim, occurred on the BchuylklU Valley lino at Trooper, early on Wednesday morning.

When the westward bouond car reached Kane's car he Jumped, Intend-ing lo board the fronf*platform of his own car. As he did so he was caught between the two cars and before the west-bound cm- could be stopped Kane was tightly wedged between the two.

Norrlstown, December 18, 1901 We are all Christmas crazy over this way and the town for the past several days has been the land of the sweet ouy and buy. In the early part of the holiday shopping season, the smallpox scare kept hundreds of country folks away. The threatened epidemic hav-ing been successfully conquered, shop-ping has been congested into the last five days before the great Christian festival. Our smallpox scare is over and half the patients in the Municipal Hospital have been discharged, cured. The remainder are convalescing. Some of them will he discharged In tim. ,,, eat their New Year's dinner ai their nomes and all will be sure to be happy participants of ham and eggs on Bias) er morn. The rush of shopping and gratitude over the deliverance from a threatened epidemic have drowned aught else from the public mind. Politics has taken an awful slump. The only thing in the nature of a pleasant digression |„ the way of politics was a visit here on Saturday of Consul to liawson. Henry D. Saylor. He was as pleasant and buoyant as ever. He reads all the crit-icisms on his official career with good grace considering them as a part of an active strenuous public life. He (8 Justly proud of the fact that two pres-idents have recognized his worth to the party. McKlnley by appointing lilm to the Consulate at Mantazas. Cuba and Roosevelt in his Inter appointment to the land of Ice and gold have stifled nil the ill-advIM clamors ngalns I career as a Senator. Hut better than this testimony to his worth as a pub-lic man Is the symposium of his f. How •ownsmen to his career for sterling private character, in which he la hi Id by those who know him best. The Pottstown Dally News on Saturday published two columns of his career In which he Is shpwn to be a person, in whom that town takes great local pride. He was born, raised ther his whole life has been one of study and activity for the welfare of bis fel-lowmon. These traits I have long ob-served In him. The News notes that ho Is a lawyer, linguist, telegrapher and short hand writer. But as to one of these until Saturday I was Ignorant of —his ability to click a telegraph key. Years ago. before he came into the pub-lic eye. 1 heard him talk Pennsylvania Dutch with ease and fluency. I re-marked to him at one time when he was acting as interpreter "all yon Pottstowners talk Dutch." What was my surprise when he told me he had never learned the language until he left school and only took It up as help to afd him In his father's store when he was clerking. A little later in Court one day there was no stenographer present to take down the points In an unexpected turn I- a case before the Bar. Mr. Saylor Who was setting as a spectator volun-teered his services. He was duly sworn and reported the case to the sat-isfaction of both sides. As a volunteer he received no recompense from the llt- Igents. This feat following close upon his acting as an Interpreter when he was a young lawyer. I congratulated him upon his accomplishments, at the time. He laughed the matter off by saying "I only take these thingslip in my spare time." But behind his ap-parent sham of Indifference, i discern-ed the appreciation of a man who has energy and a purpose In life and has the greatest power of all—ability to master whatever he undertakes. ThereJ then sprung up a friendship thai has lasted nearly a score of years, and time has only added to my regard of one who has been so vllllanously assalll I through the mutations of factional pol-itics, by those little acquainted with his personal worth as a lawyer, statesman and man. I am proud of the recognition he has received and feel safe that Montgomery will be honored by one of her sons—tha fur off Nat-ional post. manages nine election districts In I.ow- ■ i Marlon and Thompson three In Op per Providence, it trill be noted by careful observers that these two young men manage twelve more districts than Krai/, evi n did in his days as a reg-ular Republican office bolder, If Kratz would confine himself to managing districts Instead of trying to regulate the affairs of this nation he might be of some force Instead of an unknown reudy letter writer.

The Court's opinion In compelling the trolley company to place guard wires In Conshohocken will be com-piled with at once. It Is the general opinion of those skilled In trolley ex-perience that there Is less dnnger In unprotected trolley wires. The reason Is that the two guards frequently be-come disarranged, and broken and fall-ing atop the trolley wire are excellent means of bringing the dangerous elec-tricity to the street, or worse still, communicate It to other wires of a harmless nature.

"And the borough furthi tnal the Roxborough chestnut 11■-1; and Norrlstotwn Railway opera'- at upon the Btreets of the borough without having first obtained the mun-icipal consent to do so. and that such operation without consent Is unlawful. FINDINGS OF FACTS I The Conshohocken Railway Company, one of the defendants, was Incorporated under the act of May 14. 1881 P I. -11 to construct and operate a street passenger railway from Con- ■hohockea and over township roads in Plymouth township to the borough of f i town. ih. Conshohocken Company ob-onaenl "f the municipal ■in.' township authorities, constructed 'ed its cars in the '"••ken and town ship of Plymouth. The ordinance of the borough of Conshohocken granting '■sent provided thai (he fare for a continuous ride within the borough limits should not be more than five I la. The ordinance further provided mat two guard wires be placed above said trolley wires to protect the same from other falling wires." 3. The Schuylklll Valley Traction t ompany was incorporated undr- the act of Assembly of March 22. 18s. p. L. S. This company leased th« li..e of the Conshohocken Railway. Il also leased other lines, and Is operating a al system' of passenger railways i Mending through Norristown, 11 nort and Collegeville. "4. The Conshohocken Company constructed Its line on Fayette street from, the borough limit on the east to Marble street on the west. It also laid its tracks from Fayette street south-ward on Rector street to Walnul ilector street In two squares east of Marble street. In addition to this con-struction within the borough of Con-shohocken a continuous line was built In Plymouth township, from the bor-ough limits, eastward to Harmonville. and tie nee northward to Norristown. "5. The Roxborough, Chestnut Hill and Norristown company constructed • continuous line from Chestnut Hill to Norrlstown, passing through tha vil-la!-, of Plymouth Meeting. The I pany also build an extension from Ply mouth meeting to Harmonville. there-by coi : h the Conshohocken Railway. Hy this connection Hi bor-ough of Conshohocken has a continu-ous railway line to Chi itnul Hill, as well a- to Norrlstown, the two routes ing at llarnionville. 'a.. \n agreemeul was mad.- ii..- iwiin tin Roxborougbi Chestnut inn and Norrlstown Company and thi BchuylklU Valley Traction Company. whereby the former was to sappl and men to run from Plymouth ing to Conshohocken. TI tti id provided. "Whlll -Hpon the tracks of the Schuylklll Valley Ti. i lion Company I ro id Hi mon-vtlle, and i*i return thereto, they shall in all respects be subject to the man-agement of the Traction Company and the men subject to its rules and dis-cipline. "The receipts on these can w iplled to the pavement of the mot- 0 and conductors on the car; and to the payment of one half the b charges on the original cost of con-structing the extension from Plymouth Meeting to Harmonville, and the bal-ance was then to be equally divided be-tween the two parties to the contract. 7. Under the management just cit-ed the cars of the Roxborough, Chest-nut Hill and Norrlstown Company were run over and upon the tracks if the Conshohocken Railway, from Harmon-ville to Fayette street, but do not go up and down Hector street nor do I hey run to Norrlstown. They run di-n- ei to Plymouth Meeting. The Trac-tion Company still runs Its cars from Walnut and Hector Street! to Norrls-town. bill runs no ears from Marble street to Hector street on Fayette. ex-cept aa far as the Roxborough cars are under Its control nnd management. i ""a In fact, one fare will carry the passenger from the foot of Fayette street to Plymouth Meeting or from iicctor and Walnut streets to the Pennsylvania Railroad beyond Har-lle, A person desiring to go to .Norrlstown from the corner of Fayette and Marble sereeU can take a car at that point, ride to Harmonville. change ears, pay an extra fare to the Pennsyl-vania Railroad or by walking the dls- '. in " of two squares he can take a car " Hector street and ride to the Penn-sylvania Railroad for a single fare. "8. The Roxborough, Chestnut Hill and Norrlstown Railway has no inunl- < pal consent from the borough of Con-leken to construct or operate a railway within the borough llm-lls. The same Is true of the Schuyl-klll Valley Traction Company, except 0 in as the consent to the Consho- B Railway Company insures to its le "9.

Neither thfConshohockenRall-inpany nor Its lessee.theSchuyl-kill Valley Traction Company put up guard wins as stipulated In the bor-ordlnance of January 10. 1894, The defendants express their willing-ness to put such guard wires In place. The plaintiff was not solicitous about these wires. The road Is In operation for some years and no formal demand made upon the defendants prior •o the present controversy and the fil-ing of this bill. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW. "1. Guard wires must be put in place as provided by the ordinance of January 10, 1894. A reasonable time for their erection must be given. Un- ■ V are put In place within forty-five days from this date the plaintiff is entitled to an Injunction restraining the operation on the'defendants. "2. The Schuylklll Valley Traction Company did not enter upon any sir. its or highways in the borough of Conshohocken for the purpose of con-structing a street railway. It is the lessee of the Conshohocken Railway nnd operates, as a part of Its system, tli" road constructed by the Cons!,u-hocken company. As the lessee of the latter company It may operate the rail-way without and Independent tmunl-clpal consent. The ordinance of Janu-ary 10, 1894, contains the municipal consent for all that was done by the Conshohocken Company and Its lessee. "3. The Roxmborough, Chestnut hill and Norrlstown Railway Company did not construct a street passenger railway In Conshohocken, nor In the company operating a railway within the borough limits. "4. The Conshonocken Company, by its les- 'e, Is using every portion of the tracks located within the borough and tne right to use such tracks is not for-feited by any amendment; the compa-ny has fully complied with the ordin-ance giving the municipal consent ex-cept as to the erection of guard wires. "B, The bill must be dismissed if the defendants will put In place the guard wires within the time above specified, otherwise an Injunction will be awarded. REASONS IN SUPPORT OF OUR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS. pany under its lease with the Consho-hocken company may operate the Con-shohocken lines as far as they are within the borough limits. The Roxborough, Chestnut Hill and Norristown Company under Its agree-ment with the Schuylkill Valley Trac-tion Company Is not operating its cars within the Borough of Conshohocken. The undisputed evidence Is that the cars are under the control and man-agement of the Traction Company, and they run on the Traction Company's line. The name of the car Is Immater-ial so long as the fact remains that It Is operated by the Traction Company's The traffic arrangement does not prove that the Roxboroegb Company oper-ates a road In Conoahohocken borough. A Reading Railway car may be carried over the lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad, hut In such passage It 1B not operated by the Reading Company. "And now. December 2.1rd., 1901 the bill now will be dismissed If the Con-shohocken Railway or Its leases will within forty five days from the date of tiling of this opinion erect the guard wires provided for In the ordlnan.II of January 10. 1894. otherwise an Injunc-tion will be awarded as prayed for In the first prayer of the bill." Hy 4he Court. Aaron S. Swartz, P. J.

When I he Horough of Conshohocken gave Its •onsen! to the Conshohocken railway, the latter received the privilege to build id operate a passenger railway In obooken and to exercise all the right! and powers of a street railway. I In borough could not abridge these witlioui the consent of th? rail-way company. One of these powers was the right to lease Its road to a traction company. The borough may not destroy this leasing power by de-manding a new contract from the les-see.

"It Is claimed that the Schuylklll \ alley Traction Company's lease with the I 'oushohoeken Company is not val-id becauae the lines of the latter com-pany Is not confined to streets, but oc-cupy township roads, that traction companies may not lease passenger railway companies whose lines are on township roads.

HER COLLAR AIDS THE DOCTOR "Yes, I know. Another cold," said the doctor. "I do not know what med-ical men would do if it were not for you women." And he turned to the creature of furs and wraps, smiled one of his apprec-iative smiles and continued: "Remove your boa. please. Do you realize that the high collars that wom-en wear around their necks are respon-sible for nearly all the colds that your sex gets? It Is so. "Winter and summer alike you will insist upon wrapping up your delicate necks in high silk, velvet, linen, or chiffon covering. If It be not this, why It is a yard or more of ribbon tightly drawn about the neck and naturally the neck gets tender and over sensi- ..ve from the fancy bandages and swathing that are forever about It With the first draught there la o cough. "My advice to you as friend and phy-sician Is to go straight home and win-. you cure this cold throw away your ribbons and other neck traps. Leavi the neck bare. Never mind what the other woman does. "You will find your health much im proved If you give your neck a chan. to get acquainted with the natural or-der of things. My advice docs not ap-ply to you alone. "It Is Intended for all women Who wear chokey neck stuff and endanger their health by forever catching cold. You may not like my frankness now but If you follow my advice you will bless me Inside six months and your coida will be few and far between the bargain." Beef Is not regarded as fresh unless the lean when freshly cut Is bright red, easily compressed, elastic and of fine grain. The fat must be yellowish white and firm. If the lean is coarse, tough, elastic and of a dull purplish color, the fat scanty, yellow and moist, beef Is looked upon with suspicion. The same tests apply to mutton, ex-cept that In good mutton the fat is white and not yellowish. In unwhole-some mutton the fat Is decidedly yel-low. "DONT'S" FOR YOUNG HOUSEKEEPERS t same day. P.
