Republican convention next Satu

In Allentown on the 4th inst, a
saloon proprietor, angling after for
eisn trade, decorated his house with
foreign flags. His action had the
opposite effect intended. The patri
otic and thirsty citizens boycotted
him and compelled him to take down
the obnoxious flags. The legiala-
ture recently passed law making it
an offense punishable by fine for any
body to display any flag but the
Stars and Stripes except on build
ings occupied by officials represent
ing foreign countries. That saloon
keeper might have gotten himself
into very serious trouble if the
people had known Of the new law.

The contes court opened on
Wednesday afternoon, in Tunhhan>
mock, Judges Archibald and Searle
being on the bench, Judge Rice hav-
ing retired from the case by reason
of his appointment as President
Judge of the Superior Court In
view of the fact that the Act of
Assembly specifically states that the
contest court shall be composed Of
the three President Judges residing
nearest tho most populous county
in the district and as this court is
not at present so constituted it Is
believed by the attorneys for the
contestants that this court cannot
make any decree that will be binds
ing either as to which of the judges
shall be entitled to the seat as Judge,
or as to costs, and on the convening
of the court on Wednesday afternoon
they filed a motion protesting against
going on with the contest until such
time as the court shall be legally
constituted. Judge Woodward, Of
Luzcrne, having recently been COM
missioned as President Judge and
residing nearer to this county than
any other President Judge would
seem to be the proper Judge to act.
This motion was overruled by Judges
Archibald and Searle and the contest
continued, the respondents finishing
their testimony yesterday forenoon
and the contestants taking up their
rebuttal and finishing it by noon.-
Wyoming Dem.
It would appear by this that the
contestants are ready to quit, and in
fact we are given to understand that
the attorneys for Judge Sittscr have
requested that the proceedings be
auashed and the cost be placed upon
the two counties of the district.
This, Judge Durham refused, as in
the opinion Of his attorneys the
costs will fall upon .he petitioners
! who inaugurated the contest.

it relieves the fears of those who
have been anxious about the supply

A Harrisburg dispatch says that
one of the laws of widespread inter-
est in Pennsylvania signed recently
by the Governor is that fixing 2,240
pounds as ton of coal. Dealers
who sell less than that can now be
fined. In some parts of the state
dealers have been given only 1000
pounds for ton, and the complain
ing housekeepers could not easily
get redress. Nov the exact ton is
fixed by law, and coal dealers will
have to look sharp least they tumble
into trap by giving light weight.

his antecedents
But he was there, and all the -Four
Hundred looked on and wondered, es
peclally those that wero not invited.
II turns out now that this hearty old
DUCK OF humble origin, small beginnings
and unbounded aspirations got his invi-
tation to the wedding through Count
Boniface dc Castellane, the bridegroom.
As everybody knows, Count Bon iface
had very little money prior TO HIS mar

He was forced to borrow.
he was short of collateral or other
material security, but his social position
