Mr.. Christopher Kuster, an aged
gentleman residing about two miles

ton.

What's wrong with Epworth League
Has it gone under3 We haven't heard
anything Of it lately.
We have not Genius gifted pen
Our thoughts in verse to tell,
Like the gifted Buckhorn poet
Who writes for the Sentinel.
He's sort OF reporter
And a critic, all combined;
And to ridicule our boys
He seems to be inclined.
Now they say it isn't fair,
And it almost makes them sw.ar,
So they're going to talk back
To that poet, white or black.
They hope to his next quotation
He will sign the appellation
That his mother calls him by
Then they'll 60 to Buckhorn station,
And they'll give him an oration.
They will grasp him by the hand
And bring out the Buckhorn band.
And they'll then dsciss his rhyme
And have glorious time!
In writing verses we're not skilled,
With poetry our heads not filled,
So now we'll bid adieu 10 thee
And hope that "Punch" we soon shall see
JUDY.

The case of Mrs. Hirlinger against
William L. Hirlinger occupied the at
tention of the court on Monday after
noon. 1t was an action brought by
the wife against her husband for sup
port. A large number of witnesses
were in attendance, including about a
dozen ladies'. The parties reside in
Sugarloaf township. Mrs. Hirlinger
stated that she was compelled to leave
home by the cruel treatment Of her
husband. All the evidence showed
that it was one of those unfortunate
family affairs that ought not to have
been brought before the public. Judge
Ikeler dismissed the case, after giving
some very good advice to both parties.

He was governed by the principle that
all his time belonged to his employees

entitled to all the work he could do,
regardless of what some fellow.em-
ployee might consider fair DAYS
work. He was one of the best boys

meyer, Esq, and funeral services were
held there at two o'clock on Tuesday,

ket.

DIFFERENCES IN TASTES.

The publication Of the facts revealed
by the dissolution OF the law firm OF
Bates & Harrington, the employment OF
Attorney Levi @ Bird to attend to the af.
fairs Of John Mealey, and the retaining of
Attorney e. August Miller Of Phlladel-
phia 20 adjust the affairs Of the Sharp
estate both Of which cases had been ne
elected, to say tho least, by the hrm Of
Bates q Harrington, caused great deal
Of comment.
The EVENING JOURNAL simply told the
story Of some unusual aud remarkabl
proceedings. If they happen to be un
complimentary to the parties concerned
that Is not our business; we simply told
some queer stories of two lawyers and
several fnanoiers being employed to
adjust financial and fauciary affairs that
should have been adjusted by Batos &
Harrington
II there is nothing unusual, nothing
unprofessional, nothing whatever dis
paraging to the reputation Of the firm Of
Bates Harrington, inasmuch as the
matter has been one Of quiet public com
ment for more than a week, everybody,
even the parties particularly concerned
should thank us for affordlng them the
opportunity Of showing the innocence
and regularity Of the transactions.
People NAV view these matters as
their interests, their foolishness, or
their desire to shield those who accept
trusts and then betray them, may dictate,
but the EVENING JOURNAL simply gives
the news as It is squeezed from those
who are reluctant in exposing frauds,
hypocrites and betrayers.
The EVENING JOURNAL Is not engaged
IN suppressing the truth, either good or
bad, concerning great men or little men,
Of one political party or another political
party, Of rich or poor, high or low, or Of
making any distinctions whatever. We
leave those duties to cur esteemed con
temporaries who have studied the art of
trucking, but so far as we are concerned
we tell the truth, and shame his satanic
majesty without fear or favor. We
have no fear Of the great; no favors for
the guilty. Our tastes do not ebb and
how with those tides
Evening journal., 1891-04-07


In cannot be urged that Bates & Hsr-
rlngton are not intelligent men; that
they are not lawyers; that they were not
conscious that an accounting in the Sharp
estate was due in less than three years
that Mealey's financial transaction was
not complete that they we're not aware
that Mealey's money, borrowed from the
Security Trust and Safe Deposit Company
for special purpose, should not be used
for their private expenses. Considering
these facts there is great deal Of expla-
nation due from them to put themselves in
proper standing as lawyers aud as intelh-
gent, honest men In this community. 1t is
due 70 them to do this fully and candidly
Concealments, suppressiona and silly
effort to blame the newspapers for pub
lshing the truth will not accomplish
that II there were nothing wrong.
then the newspapers would have had
nothing to publish. The newspapers are
generally very convenient when a man
has done something Of which
ne is proud and which he
is anxious that the spublic should
know. Messrs Bates & Harrington
should be anxious to explain il they have
done no wrong; II they have done wrong
they should be anxious to set themselves
right. The newspapers are tho readiest
means for reaching the minds and hearts
of the people In either case
