The exceptions which were filed to
the petition asking for the opening of
Forrest street from Fifth avenue to
Tenth avenue in this borough have
been withdrawn, and a decree will now
be made by the Court declaring the
street opened as petitioned for with-out
further opposition. The only ob-jection
to the opening of the street was
by parties who will likely suffer some
damage by the opening, grading, curb-
Ing and paving of the street This,
however, is no legal objection to the
opening of the street Whatever dam-ages
are sustained can be recovered by
the parties after the Btrect is opened.
The opening of Forrest street be-tween
the points named Is a necessity
us It Is In one of the principal resi-dence
s-ctlons of the borough, and nu-merous
Improvements will be made
Immediately upon the street being
opened and put In good condition.
There is no one thing improves a bor-ough
so much as good streets, and this
one, being in such a desirable location
and so close to the main street of the
borough, should have been opened to
public travel long since in order to
keep up with the Improvements and
progress of the borough.

MEDICINAL SECRECY
SHOULD BE KNOWN
TO the Recorder:—
"The science of medicine is not In
touch with the public nt large because
the profession has kept the public in
ignorance of Its work as much as |ios-slhle,"
recently said a prominent phy-sician.
"There IB. of course, no such
thing as a race of doctors, but Ihey
form a very close corporation, and
every member of it shows what looks
strangely like an instinctive desire to
perpetuate the mystery which Increas-ed
the dignity of the profession In lays
when It had little except mystery with
which to command respect They write
extremely simple prescriptions In the
fragments of a dead language Inter-mixed
with cabalistic signs, they re-sent
criticism, and even lay descrip-tion,
of their work, and as much as
they con keep up the silly pretense
that the opinions of followers of the
same "school" never differ. Yet those
of us who occasionally get hold of the
medical Journals and other literature
of the profession have little difficulty
In understanding what we read, and
we look In vain for the big secrets
Which the doctors wear the air of con-cealing.
They should forget the fact
that their not very remote predecessots
dabbled with what they Imagined was
the supernatural. Medlcino is a great
and noble art, and better men than the
majority of its practitioners do not ex-ist
but they have some antiquated
Ideas about professional ethics and dig-nity,
and their belief that the modern
public could not understand their work
Is a delusion. The modern public could
not do that work, to be sure, but it has
a perfect right to know as much about
It as it chooses to learn, and the less
mystery is made of It, the less will be
the suspicion to which the physician
referred.

This Is the season of the year that
the Assessor Is abroad In the land. He
goes about not "like a raving lion
seeking whom he tnuy devour," but
rather lie sits at home copies the last
assessment on sheets of partly printed
papers and lets one, or is supposed to
let one with every tax payer so that
he may see what his property Is sup-i

THEY PACK THEIR RELIGION
INTO LENT"
This is a slur that is constantly cast
at the Church people, and It Is not al-together
undeserved. There are far
too many people who do this very
thing. You will note how the congre-gations
were miserably small at the
morning Services until the beginning
of tent, and then how immediately af-ter
Baater tiny Ml off. I do not say
that this Is peculiar to this parish, but
it Is certainly a feature of It Other
Rectors complain of it; and it is very
widespread; and It Is a great evil. One
can not expect to grow In his spiritual
life as he ought to grow if he gives to
its cultivation the few hours that are to
be found In Lent
Supposing that you have attended all
the daily services and those on the
Sundays of Lent, you have had in all
only something like sixty hours in six
weeks' lime; and if that Is all that you
will give to the welfare of your higher
life in tlie rear, I greatly fear that that
life cannot grow as It ought. When you
see the large congregations in Lent,
and bear their fervid responses, you
think how very religious they are; but
when Lent Is over, and the Church Is
half full, you wonder where those god-ly
people arc. And OCR NEIGHBORS
HAVE Till: SAMI: WONDER; and so
have all godly people.
If Lent has been of any real advan-tage
to you. it. will show Itself In a
more regular attendance al all the Ber-i
the year.

these birds of passage flit to the south,
but at the Brsl bursl of warm sunshine.
they flap their wings and mount the
■Iniler bedecked railroad platforms and
start for the land of gardens and sod-turned
fields. Local railroad men de-dal
e that the belief here that there will
he no tramps this summer is away off,
for the reason that the railroads of the
SOUth are reporting that they are being
bothered with them by the hundreds
i.i.oly. and all of them are bound
north. "The rules of the southern
roads are not as strict as those of the
north with regard to carrying passen-gers
free," said a local railroader, yes-tenlay.
In speaking of the tramp prob-lem,
"and as a consequence the south-ern
railroader does not bother himself
It the front end of his train is covered
With ill-clad passengers. Here In the
north much more care must be exer-cised
or some one's head will drop off.
id i don't know of a railroader on

FRATERNAL CONCERN GOES UP
A number of ConBhohocken men will
be sorry to learn that the Massacbus-etts
Insurance Commissioner has ap-plied
for a receivership for the Mas-ons-
fraternal Accident Association of
America, u corporation which Bought
its membership In the Masonic order
and attracted patronage by its title
long after its original character as fra-ternal
organization had vanished and It
had become a proprietary concern. It
was organized in 1887, and as late as
1889, bad 9,329 members.
Several tines in the last few years
the state Kv ami in r had criticized the
management of the society. Last No-
\ember he complained that $10,336.50
expenses wore scheduled for which
there were no vouchers. The associa-tion's
assets were then only $14,500 and
Us liabilities in round figures $30,000.
Now the examiner declares that ex-travagant
management, costly equip-lack
of ability to get new bus-iness
heavy lapses, delay in the settle-ment
of Just claims and an Inadequate
premium income are the causes of the
nt condition of the association.
The directors of the association have
been vainly trying to sell out the cor-poratlo
n to some other organization.
They will not resist the application for
a receiver. Two thousand aggrieved

HAMLET ON FREE PEWS
The following article which appear-ed
in several Church papers lately, is
not as much needed to be read In this

reading.
To pledge, or not to pledge—that is
the question.
Whether 'tis nobler In a man to take
The Gospel free and let another foot
the bill.
Or sign a pledge and pay toward the
church expenses!
To give, to pay—ay, there's the rub
—to pay.
When on the free pew plan a man
may have
A sitting free, and take the Gospel
too,
As though he paid, and none be
aught the wiser,
Save the Society's Committee, who—
Most honorable men—can keep a se-cret!
"To err Is human." and human, too,
to buy
At cheapest rate. I'll take the Gos-pel
so!
For others do the • ann-— a common
rule!
I'm wise. I'll wait, not work; I'll
pray, not pay,
And let the other fellows foot the
bills—
And so with me the Gospels free,
you see!
That Straw hats'il soon be on top.

That aw ise brain an S I loeed mouth
er usilly found in thei one head.

That many a man owes his downfall
ter another one's slippery tongue,

That black berry Ice cream will soon
be invented be a darkey undertaker.
That its better ter embrace all oppor-tunities
even if ther should bo female.

That ther feller tbit looks fer trowb-bil,

That a girl cant write an edukatld

That ther dirty kid'll soon be in ther

That most wlmen talk behind yer

That ther soda water flendll now
