Ball Has Been Removed and He Is More
Comfortable.
Latest reports from the Lackawanna
hospital agree that Anderson, the col
ored man who was shot, will recover,
Yesterday afternoon the surgeons re-
moved the bullet that penetrated the
mans body, below the heart. The mis-
sile was discovered close to the skin in
his back. The bullet in his left arm
was also taken out. Anderson Is very
weak, but still he is conscious.
AS yet the police have got no trace of
Holt, the assassin. Advices from
Will1es-Barre, Nanticoke and Bingham
ton state that the police of those towns
had not seen him.
Holt may be the same man who fig
ured as the wounded principal in a
shooting affray at Smlthvllle last jan
uary and fingered at Deaths door in the
Pittston hospital for three months, but
finally recovered and was discharged
on April 10,
He gave his name as William Holt,
age 90 years, single, and his residence,
Charleston, S. c. He has a record, it
is said, of having killed two men in the

SCOTT KNEW THE LAW.

lie Gave Judicial Opinion and the Coro'
ncr's Jury Thcreupon Refused to Give
Its Verdict for publication-0wenB Biglin
Is Opposed TO Scoops.
Dunmore sets the pace.
Lackawanna county has had many
curious coroner's juries in it's time, from
the one at Carbondale which decided
that a man died from mechanical
violence superinduced by atmospheric
contamination" down to the recent
Noonan jury, but 1t remained for the
six good men and true who are trying
to ascertain who Is responsible for the
death of Francesca Conforti, who was
killed at Bunker Hill Sunday night, to
make new record.
The jurors held an adjourned session
last night at the office of Justice of the
Peace Robert ]. Scott, on Chestnut
street, Dunmore, who is one of the
Jurors. The Others are DR.. ]. r. Muir
ply, Patrick Cleary, owen Biglin
Peter Petersall and Anthony Regan.
After celebrating for some time they
agreed upon a verdict, but when a
Tribune reporter asked permission to
copy it for the benefit of the public, he
was refused point blank.
Chief Justice Scott interviewed his
law books and %aye 1t as his opinion
that the jury could not divulge the
contents of the verdict until it was
placed in the hands of the coroner
That settled the matter.
1t was explained to the jurors that the
coroner was in Carbondale, and as IL
had always been the custom to give the
verdict for publication as soon as pre-
pared, the jury would only be following
an established precedent. Argument
was lost on those Jurors, however.
I'VE know our business" remarked
Mr.. Scott, as his eyes wandered
towards "Binn's Justice"
you bet we do" echoed another of
these distinguished gentlemen.
You can't get no scoop through lis
for your paper" shouted Owen Biglin
who evidently can't appreciate journal
istic enterprise.
When the sense of responsibility and
Importance that is now bearing down
so heavily on these worthy gentlemen
wears away an anxious public will
probably be enlightened as to what
form of verdict the prodigious intel
lects of the jurors has evolved.
No doubt 1t will be wonder.
1t is time that the present coroner's
jury system was abolished. 1t is q
farce at best, and very expensive one,
too.

Druggist d. S. Ryan to deliver up the

explained that he had given dollar for
the hawk and would give Mr.. Price his
property In exchange for the dollar. The
matter could not be settled amicably and
a summons was issued by Alderman
Wright yesterday in "trover and CONVEX

Perhaps the most successful attempt
Of this kind was that made in this
country on the occasion of the mete-
oric shower in November, 1867. The
Jightninglike rapidity with which
the meteors darted through their

Ancient Ventriloquism.

Ventriloquism was undoubtedly
known both to the Jews and to the
Egyptians. TWAS used by many per-
sons for purposes of deception. The
wizards who employed it declared
that their familiar spirit" resided in
the abdomen. whence the voice was
supposed to proceed. The Old Testa-
ment Scriptures abound with de-
nunciations both of persons who had
these familiar spirits and of those
who went to seek their advice and as
sistance. They were treated as though
they were in familiar intercourse
with the evil one, and according to
Jewish law received no mercy. In
stances, however, are very frequent
in much later history of deception
being successfully practiced by per
sons having this peculiar gift.-St.

Early Use of Sugar.

The sugar cane and its uses have
been known in India, its native home
from time immemorial 1t is perhaps
the earliest source from which sugar
was produced, and all other modes of
manufacture have been borrowed
from or based on it. The early elias
steal writer's knew sugar vaguely as
honey of canes" To the Greco-Ro-
man world the sugar cane was the
reed Which the swarthy Indians de-
lighted to chew, and from which thew
extracted mysterious sweetmeat.
1t was the Arabs-those great car
rlers between the east and west
VINO introduced the cane in the mid
die ages into Egypt, Sicily and the
south OF Spain, where it fourished
aoundantly until West Indian slavery
drove it out of the field for time
and sent the trade in sugar to Jamai-
ca and Cuba. Naturally you can af-
tord to undersell your neighbors
when you decline to pay any wages
to your laborers. Egyptian sugar
was carried to London in Plantagenet
times by the Venetian feet. where it
was exchanged for wool, the staple
product of medieval England.
Early in the sixteenth century the
cane was taken from Sicily to Ma
delra and the Canaries. Thence it
found its way to Brazil and Mexico,
to Jamaica and Haiti. Cane sugar
was well known in Italy about the
second century and has been com
mon in England since the Tudor pc
rod, The spacious days of great
Elizabeth had sugar for their sack,
and ginger was hot i the mouth, too,
as we all well remember.-Cornhill

RICHARD THE LION HEARTED
The Remarkable Career and Conquests of
the Crusader Monarch

The Remarkable Career and Conquests of
the Crusader Monarch.
The success of King Richard Lion
Heart, though not complete, was all
the more remarkable. When he
landed at Acre in 1871, he already
had in his gift kingdom nearly as
large as that which King Guy had
lost-the island of Cyprus, conquered
by English soldiers sailing in an Eng
lish fleet, which the Latins had never
before attempted to take from its SO
called emperor" Isaac Comnenus.
1t had the same strategical value
then that it still possesses as ''place
OF arms"-to use military technical
phrase-or base for attack on Asia.
The reconquest of Palestine in
face OF a united Islam under vic
torlous leader, who was respected for
his austere religious conduct and
trusted on account of his skill and
genius, was no easy task, but it was
necessary for the prosperity of the
great Italian trade and demanded bv
the public opinion of Europe. sThe
French and English were enemies at
home, and their friendship in the
east was hollow. With such unwill-
ing allies, and in face of forces from
Egypt and Arabia. Syria and Meso-
potamia, King Richard succeeded in
wrestling from Saladin half of his
conquests in Palestine and in restor-
ing to the Templars and Hospitallers
all the lands and castles which they
had lost in the plains.
His treaty, made after the French
had deserted, when he himself had
won a great battle, had taken Acre
by assault and had chased the Mos
lens out of all Sharon and Philistia
to GAIA, brought about a condition
OF affairs which endured for a CEN
fury after. Cypress represented an
addition to the Latin possessions equal
IN extent and superior in fertility to
the lands which by this treaty Salas
din retained, and though the jealousy
of French and Germans led to King
Richards two years captivity at a
time when his presence was sorely
needed in England he was recognized
as the champion of Christendom, who
alone of all the leaders of the time
had shown himself equal to Saladin,
and he became popular hero in Eu-
rope and among the Moslems as we'll.

Prevention of Disease.

1t is claimed that every attack of
disease is just so much against the
future health of the patient. 1t is as
though a given amount of endurance
We're parceled out to the individual.
and as much as this store is drawn
from justso much less remains. Ger
tain theorists maintain that if the
system could be protected from at
tacks of disease 100 or 200 years would
not be a long life for the average
man. They also insist that it is pos
slble for persons SO to situate and care
Tor themselves that their liability to
such ills is reduced to a minimum.
For example, we must not drink
water containing impurities. This
may be avoided by distillation and
proper tiltering. Food should be kept
free from contamination and thor
oughly cooked. Fruit should be
washed, and all articles that have
been used or handled by persons at
ticted with any form of contagious
or infectious disease should be burned
or carefully disinfected. With these
precautions and ordinary prudence
as regards accidents there is no rea-
son why people should die of disease.
