Justices Appeals.

The last legislature passed an act
which is of vital importance to everyone
who appeals a case from the decision of
of justice of the peace. This law pro-
vides that no appeal shall be entertained
unless the appellant makes affidavit that
he verify believes injustice has been
done. Some justices have not made
themselves familiar with the new law,
and if they had entertained any appeals,
no matter how just, the ends of justice
would be defeated if the opposing coun-
sci went into court and asked to have it
stricken oil. The laws reads as follows:
THAT from and after the first day of
July, 1897, no appeal shall be entertained
from the judgment of justice of the
peace or alderman unless the appellant
or his attorney or agent shall make atii-
davit that the appeal is not for delay, but
because he verify believes that injustice
has been done"

Ballot Law in Court.

The action of the Democratic city com
mittee of Philadelphia against Secretary
of the Commonwealth Martin TO test the
constitutionality of that provision of the
amended ballot law which provides that
the name of any candidate shall not ap-
pear more than once on the official ballot,
was Thursday brought in the Dauphin
county court and Judge Mcpherson
awarded writ of alternative mandamus
returnable at Il o'clock "Wednesday.
The suit is brought because the Seere-
tary of the Commonwealth refused to
certify the nomination of Judges Brogy
Wiltbank, Audenreid and Ferguson on
the Democratic ticket for the reason that
these names already appear on the Re-
publican ticket. The bill sets forth that
the provision prohibiting the Secretary
of the Commonwealth from transmitting
the names of any candidates appearing
more than once by certificate of nomins-
tion upon the official ballot is uneonstitu-
tional; that it is inconsistent with and
contrary TO the laws OF Pennsylvania re
lating TO the conduct of primary elec-
tions, aud further that it is contrary to

Autumn Arbor Day.

Friday. October D, is designated as
autumn Arbor Day in proclamation IS
sued by DR.. Schaeffer, the Superintend-
ent Of Public Instruction. lately. He
recommends that the day he observed by
the planting of trees and by the exercises
designed to give pupils helpful informa-
ton concerning our trees and forests. DIR.
Sehaeffer says:
''It cannot be denied that the observ-
anee of ArbOr Day has helped to create
the public sentiment which is back of our
recent legislation on forestry. A depart
ment of agriculture has been established
in which the grave interests involved in
the care of our forests are intrusted to a
commissioner who is an expert in forest
~. IL is gratifying to note that laws
have been enacted for the preservation
of our forests from fire and for the par
tial relief of forest lands from taxation ;
and that provision has been made for
the purchase of three forestry reserva-
tiOns near the headwaters Of the Della
ware. the Susquehanna, and the Ohio,
each Of forty thousand acres in extent"

A NATURAL RESULT.
a Brief Article From the Pittsburg Ctron-
icle Telegraph Of August 81.

The following insertion was made in
the press of Pittsburg, and while short
it means much more by reading between
the lines:
William X. Gillespie took out build
ing permit yesterday for a four-story
brick wholesale grocery at Ninth street
and Duquesne way, Fourth ward, to cost
,l36.
The preceding is clearly the result of
reliability. trustworthiness, fair dealing
and hustling ability. From very small
start to a building Of his own: Ii speaks
well for his methods. Must treat people
right to grow in a business way. The
wholesale grocery business of w. X.
Gillespie, Seventh avenue, Pittsburg. is
constantly increasing.

WILL BE BUILT.
Contract Let for Summer Hotel on
Tayman Hill
WORK WILL BEGIN IMMEDIATELY.


The summer hotel ON Tayman Hill is a
sure go. The contract was signed Mon
day morning aud to day 10000 feet Of
lumber will be delivered and work on
the immense structure will he commen-
ced Tomorrow morning. The contrac-
tors fully expect 10 have the building un-
der roof and plastered before the middle
of December. and from then till spring
will take their own time To finishing it,
the only stipulation being that 1t be
ready for the reception of guests at the
opening of the season of ls9s, about June
first.
The original plans of the building have
been modified in some particulars, prin-
cipally in the way of dispensing with
costly and useless exterior ornamenta-
ton. The dimensions have not been al
tered and the hotel will cover the great
stone walls already prepared for its re-
ception. The original lines of the build
ing will be carried out, while better
heating and ventilating apparatus has
been provided for. Another important
change made in the original plans pro-
vides for perfect system of baths.
Just as soon as the frame OF the build
ing has been placed in position, plumb
ers will be set at work putting in the
steam heating apparatus and the build
ing will be kept comfortably warm
throughout the winter in order that
workmen may not be delayed a single
day on account of cold.
John Husband * Bro, of Mt. Pleasant,
Pa, are the contractors, and both were
here Monday morning. The senior
member of the firm said to a HERALD
representative that his firm would COM
mence work Immediately aud that moth
ing would retard the work on the hotel,
a great deal of the material had al
ready been ordered and some of it was on
its way. Husband & Bro. have the rep
utation of being hustlers and as they are
contractors of large experience and not
hampered for means ii is probable that
they will have the hotel well under way
before cold weather. Mr.. Husband says
that the building when completed will
be one of the hsndsomest and most SUBJ
stantial structures of the kind in the east
and will be certainly an improvement on
the original plans, which have been de-
waited from only in the way of strength
ening the building and cutting off cheap
ornamentation, that would only rot when
exposed to the weather.
The members OF the Hotel Company
present at the letting Saturday night,
were Messrs. w. III. Koontz, J. NJ. Lou
,her, G. J. Harrison, Geo. III. Taymun
aud w. A. Scott, and as a matter of
course all are ''in high feather over the
steps taken, as the delay during the two
years the enterprise has been under con-
sideraiion has been more or less aggra-
waiting to all of them.
The people OF Somerset are delighted
that all obstacles i'm the way of the Hotel
Company have been removed, that next
season they are to have one of the finest
summer hotels in the country located in
their town, and that from 400 to 500 stran-
gers will spend their summer vacation

What Do the Children Drink

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you
tried the new food drink called Grain-o?
IL is delicious and nourishi2g and takes
the place of coffee. The more Grain-0
you give the children the more health
you distribute through their systems.
Grain-O is made of pure grains. and when
properly prepared tastes like the choice
grades of coffee but costs about las much.
