Luzerne County Republicans met in
convention at Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday
and placed full ticket in the field for
the November election. The nomina-
tions were made in accord with the
wishes of the Wilkes-Barre leaders, and
very little enthusiasm was manifested,
the slate going through in perfect order.
For president judge the present encum-
bent, Charles +. Rice, was placed in
nomination without opposition. r. P.
Robinson of Fairmount township receiv-
ed the nomination of sheriff by acclama-
ton. Philip Boyle of Hazleton was
unanimously rendered the nomination
of recorder of deeds. For coroner there
were three candidates, DIR. B. j. Cob
leigh of Parson, Dr. Evans of Nanticoke
and DR.. Cole of Hazleton. Dr. Evans
was nominated on the first ballot.
Ambrose Reese of Parsons was nomi-
mated for surveyor. The convention
then adopted resolutions reaffirming
their adherence to the party and its
platform, approved the course pursued
by Congressman Osborne and expressed
satisfaction with the judicial career of
Judge Rice. The resolutions did not
endorse or condemn the state or national
administrations.
THE NOMINEES AND THEIR CHANCES.
The ticket nominated is regarded by
Democrats as rather weak, though it
may contain some of the materials of
success. On account of the "boss" sys-
tenn which prevails in the Republican
party there was no strife to secure
places. Judge Rice merits the renom-
ination accorded him by his party, and
he will prove strong candidate, particu-
larly so because Of the apathy shown by
many Democrats in not placing any
opposition before him. However, should
some prominent lawyer be named, he
will receive the unanimous support of
the party, and that will insure hard
struggle for the office. The candidacy
of p. r. Robinson for sheriff will prove
an unsuccessful battle against fate, for
Republican sheriff is unknown in the
annals of Luzerne County. Mr.. Robin
son is an American and an ex-county
auditor, who attained considerable noto-
riety some years ago by being appointed
clerk to a Democratic board of commits
sioners. The selection of Philip Boyle
for recorder was undoubtedly done more
on the principle of necessity than choice.
He was nominated for the strength he
would bring to the ticket, and it is
through the old-fashioned bartering
process that the rest of the ticket can
only be elected. Mr.. Boyle is one of
Hazleton's most estimable citizens, but
as his antagonist will also be from this
section and of the same nationality, he
may find it a very hard road to the
recordership. The nominations of DR..
Evans for coroner and Ambrose Resse
for surveyor were made with view of
holding the Welsh portion of the party
within the lines. Owing to the supply
of offices becoming exhausted the Ger
man and English elements were unable
to secure any recognition.

Don't Expect Something for Nothing.

Some people imagine that newspapers
are run simply for the honor and not for
money, judging from the way they have
of asking to insert certain business locals.
1t cost considerable cash and hard work
to equip and run this establishment, and
business locals are inserted at the rate of
five cents per line. We are not the least
bit anxious to give our space to the
public gratis, except as far as news is
concerned. This is said kindly and we
wish the few who thought otherwise to
understand it distinctly. Business locals
are five cents per line.

The Prince and the Page.

About Lord Tennyson's wel-known hor-
ror of publicity 1t is told that once, when
walking in his own grounds, he was in
formed that some euterprising tourist was
looking down on him from tree almost
over his head The enthusiast was soon
brought down from his coign of vantage.
The laureate, however, secured page-boy
to keep off all intruders in future, he being
too shOrt-sightcd TO notice them. Soon
after this youth had begun his duties 1t
happened that the Prince of Wales walked
over from Osborne to see Mr.. Tennyson.
Arriving at the poets house at Freshwater,
hc asked the boy whether Mr., fennyson
was in. The boy thinking he smeled
rat, said. "Aud what's that TO you, If he
Is " "Tell him." said II, II. H., "that the
Prince OF Wales wishes TO see him. The
knowing youth thereupon, not to be
caught, sald "You don't take me to be so
green as thatY' and, to emphasize his re-
mark, he 'plaeed his thumb TO his nose
and spread his fingers outn The Prince,
however, had parleyed sufficiently, so, talk

placed HIM aside and walked into the

constructed In his own home an air-tight
chamber made of pressed brick and comout

especially prepared to resist atmospheric
influence. Ventilating shafts will be in

in which the sterilization will take place by
means of alternate filters of raw cotton,
raw silk and canton flannel, will enter the
room atthe centre Of the ceiling aud extend
to near the surface of the operating table,
