townsmen proffered the use of their
private conveyances
This feature of the visitors pleasure
included not only the central portion
of the City, hut a ride over the Valla-ti

the local cemeteries. Prom points on

was a novel sight for flllf of the Press

ty enjoyed dancing on the Hat. Coun-cilman
Harry S. Meyer was one of the

capital an entertainer. Nothing was
more enjoyed, evidently, by the guests
than this feature, for Mr. Mayer was in
demand fore and aft port and atar-boaril
all al the same time.
The parly was in charge of Boom

performed his part of the honors bet-tar
than the genial -Captain." The

THE WATER QUESTION
iv. the RECORDER
It is rumored that n charter hns been
granted al Harriaburg to certain oltl-seni
of thll borough In form a new
water company. Is this a fart or is It
simply one of those unconfirmed re-ports
slmlliar to those we are now get-i.
ng from China.
O. K.
A TRUE FABLE
'in the RBCORDHB
One of our residents, n householder,
being grieved because n greedy water
company charged him twelve dollars
a year, bethought himself to drill nn
artesian well and after his contract
with the company expired he would
own his own water suply. So the well
driver came, bored the well ami depart-ed
with one hundred dollars in his
pocket as the result of his labor. The
resident has yel to buy a force pump
and will he al a continual expense to
keep his apparatus In repair and fur-nish
fuel for his engine, to say nothing
of interest on Ihe money Invested.
Another resident began to drop dol-lars
Into a small round hole In the
..■round and had disposed of three hun-
IIRII of them In that way before the
first one struck water.

own nose to spite his face.

- For sometimes past our beautiful
little town has been styled "Canada"
by the residents over the river. The
phrase originated in the iron mills of
that borough, gradually leaked outside
and Anally became general among ev-ery
family In the town. The young

and puts it Into practical use, for when
her beat fellow from Uoxlioroiigh. or
win revei he happens to he from, comes
io . i her she will say "Let's lake a
walk over to Canada, and see how
things are." She perhaps thinks it Is
not so well lighted and not so much
traveled as popular Fayette street, and
there are advantages to boderlvedlrom
these fads. This is all too line, but
the Canadians have not been locked up
