The School directors had tie vote
ON the question of placing Webster's
Dictionary in each of the schools. We
are informed that the equal vote was
undoubtedly caused by some old fogies,
who got their ''larnin" without ever
knowing anything about a dictionary,
and expect their posterity to be as
smart and intelligent as themselves,
which theory they will perhaps live to
see exploded.

A Oounterfeiter Arrested.

At an early hour Sunday morning
secret service agents arrested Reuben
Palmer, near Troy, Penna. Palmer,
who is horse dealer, ard travels over
the state, disposing Of his stock, is
charged with passing counterfeit money.
For some time the country in the vi
cinity of Elmira, Hornellsvilie and
Troy has been flooded with spurious
coin, and recent Developments led the
detectives to believe that Palmer was
at the bottom Of it. 1t was finally
traced to him, and his arrest quickly
followed.
1t has transpired that he was an as
sistant to the famous James Holden,
a notorious counterfeiter, who has
served several terms in the penitenti-
ary, and was arrested in New York on
Saturday by the secret service agents,
who are now on their way to Pittsburg
with their prisoner. Palmer was
brought before Commissioner Mix, of
Towanda, and in default of $1,000 bail
was committed to the Bradford county
prison. The search of Palmer's prem
ises brought to light complete coun-
terfeiters outfit.

Weak Women.

The more sensitive nature of the fe-
male sex renders women much more
susceptible than men to those numer-
GUS ills which spring from lack of har-
mony in the system. The nervous
system gives way, sick headache is
frequent, the appetite is lost, and other
ailments peculiar to the sex cause great
suffering. Hoods Sarsaparilla is Pc
culiarly adapted for such cases, and
has received the most gratifying praise
for the relief it has afforded thousands
of women whose very existence before
taking it was only misery. 1t strength
ems the nerves, cures sick headache
and indigestion, purihes and vitalizes
the blood, and gives regular and heal
thy action to every organ in the body.

On Thursday. night, January 9Th,
Miss Annie Burton will begin a three
nights engagement at the Opera
house, presenting dads Girl"
"Maud Muller and "Kathleen's
Dream" Her selection of plays is
good, all are first-class. In the first
dads Girl" a drama of the comedy
order written specially for her by E.
J Swartz, of the Philadelphia 7'ele-
gram, she is particularly successful,
and has in the past four seasons played
it successfully in nearly every town
and city in the country.
Speaking of Miss Burton, the Chi
cago Tribune says: In her portrayal
of character she translates the aud
fence from reality to the ideal. One
does not seem to see the character as
piece of acting, but to see the char
aeter itself. Her acting is an inspira-
tlon--a revelation. She moulds her
characters as potter would mould a
piece of clay. She seems to hold the
character in her hands and so fully
dominate it, so completely to permeate
1t, that it becomes an insipid creation.
Miss Burton appeared here about
two years ago and gave splendid per,
formances and to day brings her own

THE LOTTERY QUESTION

As a matter of considerable interest
to those who study the varlons phases
of the lottery question, the following
recent Washington special to the New
York World, is published:
"The Louisiana Lottery Company,
through its agent here, Mr.. Gould, has
instituted legal proceedings to have
the anti lottery law, passed by Con
gress at its last session, declared I'M
Constitutional and void, as will be
seen by the following paragraph prin-
ted in the Critic:
"A motion was made in the Crimi-
nal Court to-day by A. B. Williams,
counsel for VIM w. Gould, to quash
the indictment against Gonld for vio-
lating the lottery laws. The reasons
assigned by counsel are as follows:
The indictment fails to describe the
Louisiana State Lottery ticket which
the defendant was alleged to have
sold. The Indictment fails to allege
that the Louisiana State Lottery is
illegal.
sThe indictment charnes that the
defendant sold and transferred certain
Louisiana Stale Lottery tickets, which
lottery is duly authorized and estab-
lished by the laws of the State Of
Louisiana, and therefore The sale of
the tickets is not within the prohibit
ton of the statnte. Finally, the act
of Congress prohibiting the sale of lot.
terry tickets cannot be held to apply
to the sale of such tickets as are au-
thorized to be sold bv the laws of one

act is Ut constitutional and void

] The City Item says of this news
"A very important bit of news comes
to us from Washington via New York
the correspondents of the New Or
leans papers all appearing to have
been scooped on it. As will be seen
by the Worlds dispatch elsewhere, The
right of Congress to prohibit the sale

Thus it would appear that the lie

-Bulldozing, says the City Item,
has been practiced in East Baton
Rouge for so many years that a gen
Grafton has grown up to regard such
cruelties as almost legitimate sport.
Now the law has laid its hand sud-
denly and heavily on three misguided
men and they were condemned to
twenty years in the penitentiary for a
late bulldozing outbreak, The power
of the State is sufficient for all honest
purposes; and this example, it is to
hoped, will prove sufficient warning
to all who feel inclined to take the
law into their own hands.
