From the Wilkesbarre Leader.
BY the severe sentence that he inn
posed on the Hazleton gang of miscreants
Judge Woodward has shown that there
is at least one judge in PENNSYLVANIA
that can be depended upon to stamp out
this carnival of crime that is making the
fair name of LuZcrne county bywOrd
and reproach. For some time past there
has been entirely too much leniency ex-
tended to murderers and other high
grade criminals in this county by the
Judges of the court, not only in the mild
ness of the sentences imposed but by the
benefit of liberal rulings in their favor
in the matter of admission of evidence.
All our judges have leaned so far to
the side of marcy that there has been
some slight feeling among the people
that criminals were receiving more pro-
lection at the hands of the court than
were peaceable and law-abiding citizens
OF course it is better to err on the side
of mercy than of injustice and our
Judges are better informed and have
more experience than their critics. In
the conduct of cases the interests of the
public are in very safe hands when our
Judges are on the bench.
In the case of the three Italians SEN
fenced by Judge Woodward there was
not single redeeming point to be made
in their favor. Their guilt was settled
upon them beyond question, and the
Judge must have been thoroughly salts
fed upon that head although he made
no mention of it in his remarks in pas
sing sentence. Thoroughly convinced
of their guilt he had the courage of his
convictions and imposed upon them the
full penalty of the law. All honor to
Judge Woodward!

water works, gas, electric light public
baths, public tenement houses, etc, in
that city, says an exchange. After
January, 1897, no taxes of any kind are
to be levied on real estate or any other
property, the revenues from these public
utilities being sufficient to bear all the
expenses. With the object lessons of
American cities in enjoying the freedom
of being taxed from . to per cent on
every species of property, the ignorance
and stupidity of the Glasgowites in suf-
tering such oppression and inconven-
icncc is one of the mysteries yet unsolv-
ed! Why, Americans, breathing the air
OF freedom so long, would shed the last
drop of their blue blood and have old
glory trailed in gore rather than submit
to government that refused to tax
them into rags to build up millionaires.
1t is funny how GlasgOwites refuse to
learn from our glorious methods

well in politics next fall if the candidates

ogy is changed into something more
real and not less affecting. Nothing is
more interesting in the nine o'clock bell
and early-to-bed revival now observ-
able than the fact that the word eur

try, is rejected, and for it is substituted
in the west the vital and sibilant ex-

In very handsome little church, not
200 miles from indianapolis, the read
ing platform is adorned by remark
ably beautiful pulpit, fanked by equal
ly decorative chairs. The artistic
oaken pulpit, hand carved in passion
flowers and lilies, and bordered with
trefoil, is almost the "grayen image"
in the eyes of the association of church
women who earned and purchased the
pulpit furnishings when the edifce was
built. Recently a new minister came
into charge of the congregation. He
was little fellow, and one day casual.
ly remarked to one of his feminine
church members: Mrs. Badger, that
pulpit is entirely too high for me;
/ think it had better be cut down tri-
fie." Cut down?" the Mortified woman
exclaimed. Cut that pulpit down?
No, indeed; it would ruin it; it would
be much easier TO get taller preacher"

veloping her in flames The terrified
woman ran shriel<ng into the apart
ments of Mrs. Pasterne, across the
hall way; and in the later's attempt to
relieve the suffering woman, her cloth
ing was set on fire. Then both wo-
men ran into the hallway where they
were found by the firemen, who car
ried them into the street. They died
a few minutes later.

house at the time the fire broke out,
ran up stairs and attempted to put
out the flames, when a second explo-
sion occurred and he was struck on
the head by some substance which cut
his scalp open. He was able to go
home after his wounds were dressed.
