A despatch from Harrisburg quotes
Gov. Pattison as having said that he
could see no necessity for calling an
extra session of the Legislature at this
time. "This apparently sets at rest the
rumors that have prevailed that the
House and Senate would be convened
in extra session for the purpose of re
vising the Mercantile Appraisement
laws and the laws granting fees to Ger
tain county officials in addition tC
their salaries" The Governor said
that no laws could prevent officials
from being dishonest.

There are two sharps said to be work
ing some of our neighboring counties
by watching the papers for estray
notices. Then one of them goes to the
person who as taken up the animal,
and after seeing it, says it is not his,
and goes away. After a short time his
partner puts in his appearance describes
the animal and offers to sell it to the
person who has it in charge for the
reason that it is 50 far away from home
that it will be troublesome and expen-
sive to get it back. When a stranger
calls TO see an animal which you have
taken up, make him describe it before
seeing it, and prove himself a respon-
sible person before buying it from him

Accident on an Elevator.

In one of New York's largest hotels they
have three elevators and OF course require
very powerful machinery to run them. One
of the guests who had gone to the theatre,
fingered for q nice little private spread at
Del's. and as the steak was particularly good.
"you know" and his best girl in lovely
humor (who by the way was his wife) the
gentleman remained so long with his charm
i.g companion over his Mumms, that when
he reached his hotel the colored attendant of
the elevator had gone up stairs and falleninto
the arms of Murphy or Morpley, I'm not
sure which. Our friend believed in fresh air
dina lived on the floor nearest the sky, so of
course he.was disappointed to find the elevator
closed for the night. He muttered something
to his wife and gave wrench al the IRON
door leading to the elevator car. IL opened
and he laughed, and although his wife at hrst
refused to enter, he finally prevailed and
chuckled to himself as the elevator started
upwards, TO think how he outdone the house,
and how the darkey's eyes would stand out In
the morning, when he found the elevator at
second floor from the top our friend thought
he might as we'll try to slow up little, out 10
his astonlshment he found he could not
check the unmanageable elevator. The pros
pect of a drop of nine stories flashed before |
his mind also his wifes at the same instant: I
result, a tremendous yell from the gent and |
shrill scream from the lady. The attention OF |
a gentleman on the floor below was attracted; !
he jumbed to the elevator and giasped the
wire rope, holding with all his strength land |
he was strong, as he had lived IN Iexas Tor |
twelve years. and he finally brought the ele.
vator to stop just in time, as it was found |
on the following day that only one small
strand Of the heavy steel wire remained in
act, but our neighbors were saved. Iney
were profuse in their thanks ana when they
met the gentleman recognized their old |
friend, J. Nj. Emerson, of San Antonio, Texas,
and he told his wife that he had such con.
wait until he went to San Antonio for the /
earrings and baby buggy. Moral: If you
want anything cheap and good, go to Elmer
sons. Emerson keeps everything and you
will be a customer for life if you deal with
him once.

come to the board total stranger to
Capt. and Mrs. Lane, yet he felt GER
tain sense of superiority to them be-
canse he could, were he so disposed, tell
that young matron host of ugly things
about her first husband. ...
Of Lane himself he knew little OF
nothing beyond the fact that the pro-
ceedings of courts martial of which he
had served as judge advocate were al
WAYS correct. That he was known in
the fighting force of the army as brill
liant and gallant soldier, who had been
through many hard campaign and had
twice or thrice been wounded, was of no
avail in LAWYERS eyes. That might be a
very proper thing in its way, but did
not interest him. Just now he was cast
ing up in his mind the probable cost of
the dainty feast and wondering what
means Lane had outside his pay. Miss
Marshall, being from Cincinnati, would
doubtless know something, and he pro-
posed to put her on the witness stand
forthwith, but, lawyer like, to lead up
| to the matter by adroit circumlocution.
Yet at the first clumsily essayed compli-
ment she had looked up into his face, a
merry light in her big, dark, scrutiniz.
ing eyes, and he became instantly sus-
picious that she was quizzing him.

enforced. 1t generally requires an
arrest or two to convince them that
the law means what 1t says and that
the officers will execute it. When
this is known and fully understood,
then all the trouble is over. With
out a strict, rigid, positive enforce
ment, the law is farce.
The resolution passed at the stock
holders meeting a year ago, prohibit
ing the selling of the pooling privl-
Ieges and forbidding betting on the
grounds, has simply had no trial at
all. To placard few posts mo bet
ting allowed" and then stand by ana
'aIlow" it, is a nockery OF the rule
and an injustice to its advocates.
Mr.. John LOchridge, the Marshal
of the grounds says, that with the
assistance of half dozen determined
men who are in sympathy with the
rule, backed by instructions from the
proper authorities to use whatever
means may be necessary, he can and
giU prevent all public betting on the
grounds at the next Fair.
In behalf Of public morals, in lie
half of the stockholders who when
they subscribed never supposed II
would degenerate into a common
gambling race course, we appeal TO
the Association to give the rule an
other and fairer chance.
Another argument We meet is, that
some of the breeders and many of the
owners aud drivers say they VIII not
come any more unless pool selling is
allowed. They said this before, but
the entries were larger than ever.
This is simply another bluff. But
suppose they do not come. Then IL
the conditions are such that County
Fair cannot succeed without becom-
ing a common betting ground, with
out licensing a shameful evil, with
out demoralizing the youth of the
country, then in the name OF chris
tianity and good morals, let the
County Fair become thing OF the
past.
Another argument is that fast
| horses are raised for the track; that
without pools and betting the races
| would not be sustained and the stock
interests would suffer. Wedo not be-
Iieve this to be true; but if it is, II to
encourage the production OF line
stock we must raise up nation OF
gamblers, then by all means let's go
back to the common roadster and let
| the fast horse perish.
We are told that the Legislature
has recognized pool selling as privi-
lege and made it legal by law. SO
much the worse for the country that
our legislatures have not a higher
sense of good morals. There is no
consistency whatever in licensing
pool selling and decrying faro deal
ing and poker playing. They are all
wrong; none of them do any manner
Os good; they encourage idleness,
they produce poverty, they bring des-
titutiOn aud Indebtedness where
there would be happy homes, and no
man ought to cOuntenauce any such
simply for the sake Of a little money
gain, either for himself or for his
Association. Good morals are far
preferable to riches or fast horses.
