At present the important question to Bedfordites living in Pitta- burg, to all Pittsburghers.is how to "get there." Traffic in this city--both inhumanity and in freight--has become so congested that the solution of the problem is the daily thought of thousands. Pittsbnrg, which rated by the last at but 321 616, has contiguous popu'ation of nearly a million souls.

The greater part of all tbe business created by this vast community is thrown upon a comparatively small within the city of Pittsburg. Tnis condition has resulted in a packing and crowding of people and their interests which to our forefathers, 1 ting as they did, would have seemed unendurable It has become plainly that this is an evil which tan- not increase much further and for which a relief must soon be found The municipal government bai made a step in this direction by the proposed widening of cerlain streets, to ba done at an immense expenditure of labor and money. TUB officials of the railways are rack- inz their brains night and day to find a means of relief for the congestion of freight in and about Pittsbnrg. Several of the roads, having entrances to this city, have recently placed an embargo on certain classes of freight and have refused to accept any goods for shipment for a period, until the blockade is broken. Each morning and evening there is a rush of humanity between the down town business districts and the resident portions into which one must go, who Almost at the risk of life limb People literally hang onto the trolley Cits.

The congregation pined heartily in singing the doxology and the great concourse was dismissed with the benediction. At the conclusion of each service theorchestra rendered some fine music as the audience dispersed.

The movement for the erection of a new church edifice was started last April shortly after the entrance into the parish of the present popular and energetic pastor. Rev. C. Thomas Coombs, and by harmonious work upon the part of pastor, congregation and other friends of the church, has been rapidly pushed forward until this mag" nificant temple, built for a placa of singing worship to Almighty God, is finished and stands forth prominently as an ornament to the town and a monument to all who have contributed toward its erection. The building is a red brick structure, in style, facing the east, with a rontsge of sixty five feet, including a eventeen-fuot wide tower atthesouth- ist corner, through which is the ntranca to the large auditorium.

The ower, which contains the belfry, is lyramidal at the top, surmounted by a pire and weather vane, the top of which is sixty-five feet from the ground. The entire exterior is painted red and penciled white, the work of Carpenter, of this p'ace. The auditorium is fifty five feet wide and fifty-seven feet in depth, furnished with veneered oak paws, arranged in a semi-circle facing north and gradually elevated in the rear of the room The pulpit platform on the north sida is nandsomely furnished with three artistic oak chairs and a lectern, on each side of which is an upright Nawell electric lamp. The choir and orchestra platform is situated to the right of the pulpit and contains a number of fine oak chairs.

The answer is in Special Correspondence or TBI OAZETM HARBISBUBG, February 11 --The following acts introduced in the house during the past week may be matter of interest to the several school boards of the county. The fl-st, as the caption states, is to protect the public health and prevent the spread of infectious and contagious diseases in this eomm-rnwealth and reads as follows- That it shall ba the duty of the board of directors having control of my schiol building in any county, city, township or borough to adopt and immediately put into operation a ndern mathoi and system of disin- fection, for the purpose of disinfecting such school building, and that the directors shall at regular intervals not exceeding two weeks causa all school buildings under their control to be thoroughly disinfected by of the method and system which they may adopt. The system of disintec tiou adopted must be approved by the local board of health aid where none exists by the state board of health, In order to carry into effect the provisions of this law the directors having control of such builiings shall re'ain out of the fund bi-aniually appropriated by the state sufficient money necesEary to defray the expenses Incident thereto, and further, should the school directors fail to properly enforce the p'ovisions of this law, upon complaint of any person to the courts shall ba compelled to pay a floe of not less than 835 nor more than 3100 This bill was introduced at the instance of the state board of health. CJpon the surface it looks much as though some member of that board was desirous of having adopted his system of disin- fection, as the only proper method, in like manner as the smallpox virus was sent all over the state. Another bill requires the regular teaching of the effects of stimulants and narcotics on the human system and that all applicants for the position of teacher must pass an examination on the same subj set) and the failure on the part of any school district to comply with the provisions of this law shall cause said district to forfeit its state appropriation.

There is an efljrt being made to fix the salaries of all public school teachers at $40 per month as the minimum salary to obtain any state aid. Some, however, think 835 per month wou.d be a fair limit. It was also proposed RURAL FREE DELIVERY. A WORD TO VOTERS, the "Almighty Dollar."

As rur.l free delivery is no longer an experiment bnt has been accepted as a permanent feature of tbe postal service, it is important necessary that the patrons understand same of the rules by which it is governed.

As nu mber of routes have been established in this county the following information will ba of interest to maiy of our readers.

Persons neglecting or refusing to comply with these conditions will be regarded as not desiring rural free delivery and the rural carrier will be directed not to serve them." The fourteen designated boxes in- eluded in the department order of March receiving the approval of the postmaster general, will be accepted as filling within the provisioni) of the statute as above quoted when contracted for or erected in good faith prior to the date when this order goes into effect; bnt on after Ostober 1, 1903, the manufacturers whose boxes have been heretofore approved will be required to conform to the stipulations herein aet forth as to size, shape, material workmanship of boxes Happenings of the Past Seven Days.
