PROGRESSIVE SOCIETY'S VALUE IN
IMPROVING A TOWN.
How n LeaKue Warn Started In Am
bridge, Pa., and the Tonn denned
Ip Much (iond Work Done In a
Short Time.
How a town may profit if It has a
good civic league working for Its Inter
ests la shown in the following article:
Organized less than half a year ago,
the Civic league of Anibridge, Ia., the
thriving town, almost city, just across
the line from Allegheny county, in
Beaver county, has already taken a
strong hold on life, made Itself nearly
indispensable to the 0,000 or more citi
zens of the town and bids fair to rival
the achievements of anv trade bodv in
western remisylvanla In Its own terri
tory, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The idea of an organization similar to
a board of trade In Ambrldge first
came to Rev. A. W. Kinter, a preacher
of the town, about the beginning; of the
year. He spoke to others, and a small
meeting resulted, which was informal
and attended by only a half dozen
nromlnout citizens. The suggestion ap
pealed to all of tliein, and the project
was set under way at once.
The pulse of the people, as represent
ed by leading citizens, was sounded,
and the proposition looked good to a
great majority. Accordingly letters
were mailed to all the business and
professional men of the town and to
the heads of departments In the Ameri
can Bridge company on Jan. 0, 1000,
calling a general meeting a week later.
About 100 men appeared at the meet
ing, and the business of organizing the
movement was taken up with a rush
that presaged results when the body
was In working order. Officers were
elected, a meeting place named and one
evening every month set aside for meet
ings. In its brief existence the league
has grown considerably, nnd its mem
bership now numbers about 150, every
one of whom is Interested in the wel
fare of the body and at nil times look
ing after its Interests.
Under the central body of officers
the league has a board of directors
and three separate and distinct depart
ments, which have their own officers
and organizations. The board of di
rectors is composed of the officers of
the whole league and the officers and
directors in the three departments,
making twenty-one in all. The plan
of the organization of the body is sim
ple after its workings are understood.
and the results already obtained by
tue league are so gratifying under the
plan that the league could never be
persuaded to change.
The departments are called "muuict
pal affairs," "industrial development"
and "education, social science and art"
ana really correspond to appointed
committees in other bodies of similar
purpose. However, the officers of the
departments are not appointed, but are
elected by the members of the depart
ments themselves, for when a citizen
Is admitted to membership be Is given
ciiolce as to what department he will
enter. Thus membership in the league
really means membership in two or
ganizations. Business that comes be
fore the league as a whole is referred
to one of these departments when it
Is deemed advisable to act at all.
The object of the league is not differ
ent from the purpose of other trade
bodies. Its motto. "A hicrhnr nnhlln
spirit and a better social order," indi
cates its ambition, the uplifting of the
community in which it lives. In its
brief existence it has already done
much good work, and the end is not yet.
Thus far the department of educa
tion, social science and art has done
the most effective work. For months
the vacant lots In Anibridge were un
pleasant to look upon and anything but
pleasing to the sense of smell when
the wind blew across them. The league
decided to change this and started to
work with characteristic energy.
(sinking Its hand down In its own
treasury, the league drew out some of
the resources of its Infantile strength,
organized gangs of workmen and nut
them to work at cleaning up the town.

Ambrldge for certain, and the people
generally, including the none too by
gienically careful workmen In the
mills, took to the idea, and some of
them helped In the work. Contractors
and builders of the town did their part
by lending wagons, horses and driv
ers. A general dav of clo.ininir TO
declared, and the lovers of the virtue
that is next to godliness rejoiced.
As the amount of dirt was great, all
of It was impossible to cart away and
burn in one day, and since that event
ful first day the carts and horses aro
about the streets again once a week.
A few cesspools that had collected
were drained, and now the town is In
good condition. It is the aim of the
league to teach by campaign of prac
tical education the foreign workmen
and their families to burn all the
refuse.
The industrial development depart
ment is already In communication with
several companies which are going to
move ineir present locations, and It is
promised that this department will a
much to increase the population as
well as the resources of the town.

was the first to get into action, and
tne members found themselves In the
midst of a fierce fight soon nfror tho
officers were elected. There were
when the league was organized many
"speak easies" in and about AmhrM
and the profit from the sale of illegal'
liquor was great. The league at once
started for the proprietors of these
spots and told them to shut nn thai.
shops. The request was declined at
first, but pressure was brought to bear,
and when it was seen that rh ipncmJ
was determined the proprietors eithel
uiovtxi on or reformed.
FROM PUGILISM TO UPLIFT,

lie started out to do this with tho
same enthusiasm that led him to vic
tory against Jimmy ltrltt and Young
Corbett, and It Is predicted that "rough
house" times aro In store for those con
servative persons who oppose his
strenuoslty.
"I'll put this town in shape If I have
to lay out cold the aldermen and all
the prominent citizens," said the young
pugilist just before he inarched upon
Alderman Moyullian at tho head of his
committee of public spirited citizens.
Nelson recently returned from a two
years' fighting tour of the west, and he
remarked as lie aiigiiteil at mo Ulugy
station and saw the unkempt streets,
the general hopeless and decaying as
pect of the place, that It was no place
for a white man to live In and lie would
get busy.
The lighter had saved money and In
vested It In two houses. This may
have had something to do with his
awakened interest. At any rate he
started a quiet campaign and found
many M illing to join him. Ho did more
in a day than most reform organiza
tions do in a mouth.
In tho afternoon he called a mass
meeting of all the young blades who
were pitching quoits behind the black
smith shop. lie also took in a few bar
tenders who were not busy, tho grocer
and the postmaster. He announced
that the Hegowlsch Improvement asso
ciation was launched and had himself
elected president. Losing no time he
appointed an executive committee and
started out to visit Alderman Moynl
han. As he marched down the street
at the head of his committee crowds of
boys took up the trail, thinking that a
fight was about to be pulled off behind
Mahoney's barn. Alderman Moyullian
was peacefully trying to keep cool In
his office when he looked out of the
window and saw the pugilist approach
ing. "Don't be afraid, Mr. Alderman,"
said Nelson, as he pushed his way luto
the office. "We have lust conm dnwn
to give you a few suggestions for the
good of this town. Wo aro going to
nave a place to live in after this or
know tho reason why." Alderman
Moynlhan wriggled as the fighter's eye
fastened upon him In a fixed, determin
ed stare.
"Anything you want, Mr. Nelson;
anything you want," he murmured,
appeasingly.
"We don't-want' much," said Nelson.
"I have a list of things here which we
offer as a beginning." He unrolled a
large paper and read in a solemn
voice:
