box locked it again. There is nothing by
which the burglars can be traced Mr.
Hutchins has kept the burglary a secret

A WORD FOR JUDGE RICE.

10 commencing the Hon. Charles E.
Rice, President Judge OF Luzerne county,
to Governor Hastings for appointment to
the bench Of the lew Superior Court the
bar of that county makes thr-e strong
claims in particular. These are that Judge
Rice is conspicuously able, impartial and
upright; ttat he is a Republican, twice
elected in a Democratic county, but no ore
hes ever ha6 reason, from any judicial
action OF his to know to what party he
belongs; and that the great anthracite
counties, in which a peculiar business is
carried ON that furnishes much and i'm
portant litigation, ought to have represen-
tation on the lench OF the new court
The first two of these stated reasons will
hold without mentioning them In this
county, where Judge Rice has occupied the
bench during the illness of our own PIesi-
dent Judge, he made very favorable i'm
preston on the members of the bar, liti-
fants, jurors and others, and his integrity
of purpose, impartiality and ability as a
jurist were forcibly shown. He is man
in the prime of vigorous manhood, has
great capacity and disposition for work, and
he is known as an arbiter who carefully
considers all questions before rendering a
decision thereon. His judgments and opin-
ions are, therefore, remarkable for clearness
and strength,
As to the third claim, in reference to the
need Of the anthracite region for repreeen-
tation on the bench OF the new court, that is
a matter which the anthracite counties
have tried to impress on state convention
after state convention, when judges were to
be nominated for the Supreme Court and
upon governor after governor, when Judge
was to be appointed thereto, and without
effect, This region has always been ig-
nore7 ard it is now given as a suggestion to
Governor Hastings and is one which will
distinguish hlm above many of his prede-
cessors, if he will only grasp the oppor-
tunity and appoint Judge Rice to the new
NOuA0 AOA IhlS ldutCl lCpoOh uc VIGIL as AOI puS
general fitness of the man.
In this connection it is gratifying to note
that the Schuylkill County Bar has uDani-
mously petitioned the Governor to make
Judge Rice one of the seven appointees this
new law gives him. The Governor will be
wise if he favorably regards the wishes Of
the lawyers Of the anthracite counties in
behalf of Judge Rice.
