THE USE OF SOAPS.
How the Skin Is Injured by the Cheaper
 Kinda.

Kinda.
 Even in perfect health, the skin may be said to be one of the most sensitive of the bodily tissues, and when it is naturally irritable and harsh it Is lia- ble to be seriously affected by the sim plest of external influences.
 The skin is roughly divided into two layers; the deeper one, or the true skin, being the vital portion, and for the most part responsible for the health of the whole structure; while the exter- nal layer is more of the nature of horn. and serves as protection for the tis- sues underneath.
 The natural function of the true skin, which is to excrete the precipitation. tends, in normal con ditions, to lubri- cate this horny epidermis, as it is called, and to keep it always soft and somewhat moist.
 The precipitation is, in the main, com posed of watery and fatty sweat; and in determining the suitability of any cleansing medium, it is its relation to these substances more than anything else that we have to study.
 Soap, as we all know, is made by the action of alkalies, like potash and soda, upon fats. There is generally, even in the best of soap, greater or less amount of alkali above that required to transform the fat into soap. It is this free alkali that becomes prejudicial to the skin, as it not only acts as an ir- ritant, but combines with and removes the fatty sweat. By its continued ac- tion the skin is rendered harsh and dry.
 We may guard against the danger which may attend, in some cases at least, the free use of soap in either of two ways-by limiting ourselves to articles made by reputable firms, or by using soap which has an excess of fatty matter in it's composition, like that known as castle"
 Cheap soaps, while they may appear all right to the sense of sight and smell, are generally perfumed highly to hide the presence of free alkali. and their is always to be discouraged.-Youth's Companion.

REASONS FOR A NEW TRIAL.
They Were Filed with the Court in the
Case Of the Commonwealth Against
Franz RcZck

Reasons for a new trial in the case OF
Franz Beck, convicted last week of the
murder of Maria Kerzic, were present
ed to court yesterday morning by At
torneys Colborn and Watson. They set
forth that the court erred in admitting
the revolver and cartridges in evidence;
in admitting the testimony of Philip
Williams, c. /. Bergen and Fred Mar
geureifder; in refusing to admit the evil
dence offered to show that the defend
and was confined in an asylum at Lie
bach; in refusing to admit the testimony
Of John Kerochins; in striking out the
answer of Anthony Kranz to the ques-
ton, How did he act?;" in rejecting
the offer of the defendant to prove by
Anton Burshnak that Mr.. and Mrs. Kra-
mer bought the ticket upon which the
deceased girl came to this country, for
the purpose of contradicting the testi
mony of Mrs. Kramer upon that point.
Other specifications are:
The court erred in that part of his gen.
eral charge in which he stated flight is
considered evidence of guilt. 1t is your
privilege to look upon this testimony in
that light; it will bear that construction.
You may also look upon it as evidence Of
fear on the part of the defendant" 1t Is
for the jury to state whether it will bear
that construction and not for the court
to instruct the jury that it will bear that
construction
The court erred in that part of the gen
eral charge to the jury in which he stated
that ''the evidence to sustain this conten-
tion of the defendant appears to me to be
meagre." This language no doubt had
weight with the jury in considering the
question of the insanity of the defendant,
it being while discussing the evidence on
that point that the court made this re-
mark.
The court erred in suggesting that the
testimony of Mrs. Kramer or Rosenfelt be
read before the jury, when the jury asked
for the testmny showing the condition
of the prisoners mind at the time he
committed the act of shooting. The tes-
timony Of all the witnesses should have
been read before the jury.
These reasons will be discussed at
argument court.

PATRICK DEAN RELEASED.
Judge Gunstcr Decides That lie Shall n
Longer he Restrained.

Judge Gunster made an order yester-
day discharging Patrick A. Dean from
the insane department of<the Hillside
Home, where he has been confined for
two weeks. DR.. Evans, the resident
physician, informed Judge Gunster that
Dean was harmless and that he did not
think he would be benefited by re-
naming at the home.
Dean was committed to the asylum
at the request of his brother, John
Dean, who said that Patricks mind
was breaking down. His attorneys OBJ
tained writ of habeas corpus and last
Monday a hearing was held. AT its
conclusion Judge Gunster decided to
hold the case under advisement for a
week. The Deans reside at Providence,
and Patrick is an inventor He Is un-
married and is 80 years of age.

AFTER EIGHT YEARS.
Patrick Sweeney, of Mnooka, Home from
Long Visit at Cherry Hill,


Clerk Of the Courts John II. Thomas
received Tuesday the legal document
from the officials at the Eastern peni-
tentiaryat Philadelphia, signifying that
Patrick Sweeney had served his term
of imprisonment and had been released.
Sweeney and his brother, Terry, who
was also convicted and sentenced to
the same term, but who died six years
ago in the penitentiary, used to live in
Oak hill, small hamlet below Green
wood.
They were miners, but that was too
slow an occupation, and they entered
upon career of robbery. Their first
offense was cow stealing, which they
carried on to wholesale extent. Next
they became .highwaymen and commit
ted many depredations. They terror
ized the southern part of the county

they stopped Paymaster Robertson, of
the Katydid colliery, near Moosic; he
covered them with his revolver before
they could demand his money and held
the drop on Patrick until some one ar
rived and captured him. Terry escaped
but eventually was also captured They
were tried and sentenced to nine years

NOTED ABOUT TOWN.

Complaints are being continually
made, and not without reason, of the
unmtigated nuisance caused by wag-
ons being backed across sidewalks in
various parts of the city, compelling
pedestrians and others to go into the
dirty streets, which have during the
present week been more unfavorable
than usual for this compulsory exercise.
A city ordinance passed in 1866 pro-
vides, IF any horse or horse teams =
shall be found standing on any crossing
or sidewalk, or tied with line across
any sidewalk = it shall be the duty
of the chief of police or any police Of
ficer to seize and retain the same until
the sum of 81 be paid by the owner"
BY virtue of this ordinance the power
to act is in the hands of the police. An
instance of this nuisance occurs daily
on Eighth street, where the sidewalk is
blocked by wagon and horses. From
every section come complaints of
the serious annoyances and inconveni-
ences caused by the infractions of this
ordinance.
Secretary Atherton of the board of
trade, who Is keen observer of COM
merclal fluctuations, and qualified to
give an opinion on the important ques-
tion of trade interests in Scranton, is
quite confident that this city is now on
the verge of boom in local trade
which will make things hum" for a
considerable time.
