MESHES OF THE LAW.
Tangles That Many People Get lnto-mis'
understanding as to a Lien Law-buiid'
ing and Loan Associations Not Affected

Tansles That Many People Get Into-mis-
understanding as to Lien Law-Buiid'
ing and Loan Associations Not Affected
by II at All.
Some one has made a discovery, or at
least thinks he has. He says:
An amended lien law will 20 into erect on
September !, which provides for recording al
contracts in the county clerks oftice. and re-
duires the contractor upon payment OF the
whole or any part of the sum agreed upon, TO
deliver to the owner of such building the re-
lease of all persons who may then have fur-
nIshed materials in the erection of the build
ing, and of journeymen and laborers. These
releases must be made before any person
authorized to administer oaths. The law Is
hard on loan associations, and will probably re-
suit in every firm of builders having to retain
and even in that case it may seriously en-
barrass operators.
The statement was shown s. A. johnston,
ESQ.,, and he made light Of it, and pulling
down Purdon's Digest and several copies OF
acts of Assembly, showed the inquirer the
legislation on the subject, and it does not
bear out the view taeen by the individual
quoted. By an act 1872, clerks, laborers,
mechanics and servant girls could secure
wages for period not exceeding six months,
and in amount 5000, and landlord coulo
put in for years rent. but no more. THESE
claims were not allowed to impair preyl-
GUS contracts, however, and the claim was
not q lien unless filed in the Prothonotary's
Office within three months after it became
due, and in the same manner as contractors
liens. This law was amended June 8, 1901,
and as there does not appear to have oeen
any subsequent legislation on the suoJect,
it would seem that some people have De-
come tangled in a late decision OF the
Supreme Court on the subject of liens. The
amendment Of 1887 to the act OF 1877 is as
follows:
Provided that no such claim shall be lien
upon real estate unless the same be filed in the
Prothopotarv's Office OF the county in which
such real estate is situated, within three
months after the same becomes due and is
OWING in the same manner as mechanics liens
are now filed; aad that it shall be lawful to
issue scire tacias on any lien, which has been
or hereafter may be filed. as aforesaid, and TO
proceed thereon to judgment, execution and
sale in the same manner as scire facias Is
now issued on a mechanics lien and proceeded
on to judgment, execution and sale.
People get greatly mixed on these sub.
jects, and are continually calling on lawyers
| to get them out OF trouble. When man
exacts waiver of the $500 law, for instance,
a court will only allow the creditor the
pound of fesh-not a drop of blood AS tc
building and loan associations, Mr.
Johnston, who has extended knowledge o
their operations, states that they are not II
any way affected by any late law passed by
the Pennsylvania Legislature.

Wall OF THE CHEF.
The English Women Cooks Are Giving
Him a Very Lively Fight.

Him a Very Lively rIgnt'
Pail Mall Budget.l
The French chefs hate the English cooks,
for most of the English cooks are women.
had chat with chef the other day and
was amused at the way he fell to abusing
women cooks. He did it in broken English.
1t seems that women cooks have been in
stalled in many wealthy houses in prefer
ence to the chefs, very much to the disgust OF
the latter. The women have cut down the
heavy salaries Of the chefs. This is the
sore point. First-rate women COOKS viii
undertake posts for hundred year, which
is hundred too little according to my
friend the chef. Women cooks, he said,
were very wasteful. twice as extravagant as
men, so matters were as broad as long tn the
employers after all. Earl BrownlOw, Lord
Cowper and Lord Burton all keep women
cooks. The chef didn't consider that women
cooks were fitted tor the big position they
occupied. They were reared in the scullery,
and were low persons, he said.
Some noblemen-the Duke of Sutherland
for one-have contracts with their chefs to
provide for every guest at SO much a head.
A guinea a head is sconsidere1 fair terms.
Dinners are not such serious affairs
nowadays as they used to be.
Monsieur said that when ne nrst
came to this country, 20 years ago,
if my Lord So-and-So gave a dinner it
was something to talk about. Dinners were
nothing in these days, he said. About halt
the number of dishes are prepared for din
ner now that used to be, The people don't
stay at the table now long enough to digest
good dinner. 1t was all quick, quick, said
Monsieur. In the season some of the French
chefs 6nd it pays very we'll to go out work
ing by the job. They got about guineas fol
doing dinner. This often takes two days
to get through.

THE COLUMBUS CULT.

How the Worship of the Discovcrer Is
Spreading op this Continent.
The Columbus cult on the American con-
tinent is constantly extending. Quite re-
Gently the Geogra, hical Society of Buenos
Ayres proposed the erection, at the expense
of all the South American States, of colos-
sal Columbus monument on the pointed
rock which rises at the entrance to the port
of Rio de Janeiro, which monument Is to
serve at the same time as lighthouse
much as the statue of Liberty does in the
port of New York. The Brazilians have
received with much ENTHUSIASM this fatter-
ing proposition, which the Geographical
Societies of Chilli anI Peru cordially ap-
prove of. The Inauguration of the monu-
ment is to be made the occasion of uni
yersal festival of differentiation among the
South American nations. In this connec-
tiou it may also be mentioned that the Pro-
yisional Government of the Brazilian Re-
public which has abolished all the temporal
decorations created by the Empire has re-
Gently founded an Order OF Columbus,
which has already been conferred upon q
900 Brazilians and foreigners.

Like Our Own Citizens, They Complain Of
High Priced Natural Gas.
SHELBYvILLE, Ind, August 22.-The
citizens held another big meeting tonight
to take steps against the exorbitant raise in
natural gas rates. A report was made that
a new company would be formed, with
Major Doxey at its head, to pipe gas here
either from Carthage or Fountaintown.
Several hundred citizens signed notices,
which will be delivered to the present COM
pany tomorrow, notifying them to remove
the mixers from their houses after Septem-
ber l. Committees were also appointed to
CANVASS the different wards and solicit sub
scribers for gas in the new company.
The war is bitter and the outcome is a
mystery. The City Council will next Tues
day night pass an ordinance regulating the
rates for gas The citizens are determined
to return to the use of wood and coal before
they will yield to the demands of the pres
L.ent COMPANY.

Little Chief and Short Horn Bring Back
$500 Won at Poker.


$500 Won at Poker.
NEW YORK, August 22.-Little Chief
and Short Horn, who returned the other day
from Buffalo Bills Wild West show on the
steamship Ems, told General O'Beirne
yesterday, through Interpreter George
Crager, what kind of time they had
abroad. Little Chief said that No Neck,
who gave the show a hard name when he
arrived here several weeks ago, was a bad
Indian and great liar. The only objection
that Little Chief had to Buffalo Bill was
that he was ladies' man. He treated the
Indians we'll, but his subordinates were
harsh to them. Buffalo Bill supplied them
with new cards when their old ones got
ragged, and for this Little Chief said he
was profoundly grateful, as he generally
won from his fellow red men. He
and Short Horn, unlike No Neck, were
good Indians. They brought over about
$500 between them. This wasn't their ac-
cumulated salaries, but the salaries of a
dozen or more of their noble brethren, who
had an uncomfortable passion for poker.

An unusual phenomenon was witnessed
on Neville Island Thursday. During the
heavy thunder storm shock Of green corn
in a Iot- fvw<sEseS from Squire bhanks
residence was struck by lightning, and, TAX
ing fire. instantly burned until it was en-
tirely consumed, the flames rising several
feet above the top of the corn. The corn
was not only wet by the shower, but was en-
tirely green, having been cut but few
hours.
People who witnessed the sight were re-
minded of the story of Elijah's competitive
test with the prophets of Baal, the fire COM
ing down from the sky and consuming
pile fully as wet as was the sacrifcial altar.
Several people in the vicinity were some
what stunned, but not seriously injured.

Manufacturers Want Their Employees to

FALL RIVER, MASS, August pal
though the mills have only been running
four days and several are now shut down, it
is agreed that the 60-hour curtailment has

Some of the millmen argue that the help
should now share in the hard times, and q
cut down of wages is talked Of.
The Progressive Weavers' Association
last night enforced the efforts of the manu-
facturers to curtail the production, and sug-
