The Philadelphia Record thinks Miles
must have voted the Prohibition state
ticket last fall.
The Scranton Republican is in favor of
making the position of teacher of public
schools moro permanent than it is at
present.
The Pittsburg Telegraph calls attention
to the fact that while national and state
debts steadily diminish, the reduction of
city debts is rarely heard of in the land.
Harrisburg hust be a very pleasant
place, says the Hazleton Plain Speaker,
but it is not worth three thousand dollars
q day to the taxpayers of the state to have
two hundred and fifty lawbreakers in

The Harrisburg Independent observes
with pleased surprise that Attorney
General Cassidy seems to be getting along
in his Office without calling in other coun.

They soon found that it wasn't the year
for "resting quietly" on the part of
those who expected to "come to the
fore' thereafter. They may as we'll
understand this, too, at the outset this

one and every man is expected to do his
duty especially the "leaders ;" and if
they don't, when they undertake to
''come to the fore and take a hand in
the formation Of the national ticket"
the party may take hand and lead
them to the rear. The Democratic
leader who falters this year will not have
a front seat reserved for him when it
comes to " the formation of the national

LOVERS Of base ball cannot help being
thrilled with delight at the rapid strides

Philanthropists, young business men, a.

pursuits, and all grades and varieties of
politicians, confess its allurements. Indeed
90 absorbing has the baseball issue become
that it would be unsafe for either of the
great national parties to antsgonize it in
the presidential campaign that is near at
hand. 1t has even been asserted that one
cause OF the failure of the telegraphers'
strike arose from the fact that public
attention was 60 COZ o,ntrated on baseball
that the grasping greed of monopolies
failed to secure the condemnation it would
have otherwise obtained. All this proves
clearly that baseball has q strong hold
on the national heart. But the widest of
enthusiasts would scarce have dreamed of
the inroads the game has been making of
late with the gentler sex. Tennis, croquet
and archery, it was thought, would keep
the feminine muscle sufficiently busy, while
horny-handed man retained exclusive con-
troll of the diamond. But this state Of
affairs is to exist no longer. On Saturday
last, a. Pastime park, Philadelphia, the
new era of equal baseball rights for woman
was ushered in, by the appearance on the
field of two mines, composed of the
daintiest little maidens srrayed in the
most bewitching costumes. To be sure,
during the course of the game they de-
veloped remarkable agility in getting
out of the way of swift balls, but all
things must have beginning. 1t may be
confidently predicted that in the near
future the horrid men will be driven
from the bases and their places occupied
by tho woman that is to be, who will then
have discovered her true mission. In those
gladsome days of which the future is

colored eyes will be mora valued than

Probably one Of the handsOmest and

A socket in the forward part is fitted with
a small main mast, to which is attached u

its being 30 placed that in case of an

ONE of the obvious difficulties which
we forecast when the judicial apportion-
ment bill was under consideration, has
presented itself up In Mexican county.
That county, with the constitutional
population Of over 10000, was made by
this bill q separate district, and is enti.
tied to its own judge under the consti-
tuition. Nevertheless the Legislature
attached Potter county to it and under
took to say that Judge Olmstead, who
lives in Potter county, should be the
Judge of the Mexican district, until his
term expires. Judge Olmstead, like
every other constitutional lawyer in the
state, has doubts as to his right to hold
court and do business in a district in
which he does not reside, and things
have come to q stand still. 1t would
not be at all surprising If the people of
McKean would take 1t into their heads
to elect q judge of their own; but mean
time the processes of justice are blocked
and the advocates of an unconstitution
al and improper judicial apportionment
may sec some of its beauties In a differ
ent light than that in which they were
% lately presented.
In Huntingdon q question also pre-
sents itself and the lawyers there are
puzzled, 1t seems, to know whether or
not they have constitutional Judge and
district. Altogether 1t is manifest that
In HyinR to ills they knew not of, the
members of the Legislature who passed
tho judicial apportionment, did them
selves no credit and the commonwealth
no benefit.

At 600 about 50 pers0ns wended their
way to Shank's mill, about 2 miles from
camp, where, in the stream, Elder Getz, of
cambridge, baptized, by immersion, four
converts added to the church at this camp
meeting. The ceremony was solemn and
very impressive. The regular prayer
meeting usually held at the same time
then took place and was conducted by
Elder A. 81. Long. At the regular even.
ing services Elder Thomas Neal preached
the last sermon of the camp to large and
deeply impressed congregation, taking his
text from Luke xiv "a ; theme "Grcat

revival meeting took place, when many

joined hand in hand and marched through
the camp singing "We're Marching
through Zion ;" all then remaining silent
while Rev. E. L.. Hughes, of the United
Brethren church, New Holland, delivered
the last farewell address.

into history as an event crowned with the
highest measure Of success in every parti
cular.

Alice Akers of 329 North Christian street.
There was no evidence whatever to convict
the man with the larceny of the lamp. As
to the umbrella it was shown that the
defendant walked into the house of Mrs.
Akers on the day that Forepaugh's circus
exhibited here, and took an umbrella, but
upon seeing the lady he returned and hung
it up in it's place. The lady who lost the
umbrella stated that she did not bring this
suit, but it was the alderman who conduct.
cd the affair. She was merely subpen ned
to appear at the bearing as witness. In
charging tho jury the court took occasion
to severely criticise the alderman for en-
the bringing Of patty cases just
for the purpose of making costs for them
selves and officers The jury rendered
verdicts Of not guilty.

With malicious mischief,a q verdict
Of not guilty was taken.
