Consul Stephan at Annaberg, Germany
reports that he is informed from British
sources that the Germans are making
progress in their trade with Nicaragua.
This is probably on account of the demand
of Germans resident in Nicaragua who
prefer goods made in their old homes.

THE TRIUMPH OF JUSTICE.
1t Was Tardy. but 1t Overlook This
Kansas Baggage Smasher at Last.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Station Agent Cotton, of the Missouri
Pacific at Ottawa, has probably been
thoroughly cured of the habit of tossing
trunks around as though he had a gruge
against their owners. For several weeks
Mr. Cotton'S wife had been visiting
with her mother in Missouri. She came
home the other day without announcing
her coming, and when her husband was
jerking baggage out of the car onto n
depot truck he had no suspicion that
any of it belonged to his family.
Here is a heavy one" said the bag
gageman, as he trundled a big trunk
to the door.
II should say So" responded Cotton,
as he tugged at the trunk and edged it
along where it would slide down on the
truck. "Durn the cuss, anyway, who
tries to put a freight car load into one
piece of bagg'age!" with which he vici-
ously toppled the trunk over and let it
fal with smash on the platform.
That night the first thing his wife
said to him after her kiss of welcome
was: "NoW, Tom, make the drayman
handle my trunk awful careful, for it
is filled with fruit jars, which mamma
put up for US"
The next morning despair had its
abiding place in the Cotton family, fol
it was discovered that the trunk which
Tom had smashed belonged to his wife
and no less than forty-two fruit Jars
| had been broken and their contents
/ spilled, While Mrs. COtton's blue sill

FACT0RYVlLLE MAN TOUCHED.
Two Wcli-Drcsscd Strangers, Ht
Saws, Picked His Pocket.

says, Picked His Pocket.
Tavern Keeper d. t. Howell. of Fac
tCrEville, came to town last night in
quest cf two chaps, who, he claimed
played him sharp to the tune of $50
yesterday afternoon.
About O'Clock. he says. two well
dressed strangers came to his place and
engaged him to drive them to Dalton,
a distance Of two and one-half miles.
He wanted to send one of his men
along, but they insisted on having him
for their driver, and after some pro-
testing gave in and agreed to go along.
Arrived at Dalton they tondcrcd him a
S. bill in payment for the ride.
When he reached for his pocket
book to make change lie discovered
that he was monoyless. but supposing
he had left his wallet at home, thought
nothing of it and after changing the
five dollars in a saloon and pocketing
SO Of it for his pay returned home.
Arrived there he forthwith looked for
his pOckotbooli, but 1t was not be found
in any of the places that he was wont
to geCretc it.
This set him to thinking and before
he had thought to any great extent he
| recalled for certain that he had the
pochetbook with him in his trousers
| pocket when he started out to drive the
well dressed strangers to Dalton II
did not take much more thought tC
convince him that they had picked his
pocket, and so sure was he OF it that
he came on to Scranton hoping to run

He described them to the police al
headquarters as follows: One of then

INDUSTRIOUS LACKAWANNA LADS.
Full Rebate for Labor Allowed on the
RefCrmatory Bill.

Lackawanna's bill from the Hunting
don reformatory for 1897 was received
yesterday by the county commission
ers from the managers of the institu-
ton, Samuel McCamant, A. G. Morris
and Alexander Post. 1t amounts to
$65190, which represents 2,l73 days
maintenance at 80 cents a day. Credit
is given for $65.19 for labor performed
by the LackaWanna inmates. This
shows that all cur colony at this insti-
tuition worked steadily, as the full re-
bate of 10 per cent. is given.
There are at present eight bows from
this region in the refOrmatOry, not
counting Charles Burke, the little col
ored lad sent there Wednesday. These
eight are Albert Gurd, William Joyce

SOLAR ECLIPSE COMING.

One Of the two annular eclipses of the

few minutes after the sun has sunk be-
low the horizon, 1t will be barely visible
N Scranton According to the Philadel.
phia Ledger, the path of the annular
eclipse sweeps across the northern part
of South America and the South Pacific
ocean, and just grazes the northern eN-
tremity of New Zealand, ending at sun
rise about midway between that island
and Australia For the few people in

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
1t is to be hoped that the legislature
Will speedily correct the defects of the
present compulsory education act so that
1t may be executed without further fric-
ton. The state has been rather slow in
enforcing the attendance of children at
school. Many states had adopted com
pulaory education statutes long before our
legislature was prevailed upon to enact
the law of 1895. The experience of those
states can be drawn upon in revising the
existing Pennsylvania law. IT is very in
eXpedient to keep laws on the statute
book which, for any reason, have become
dead letter. The compulsory education
law should, therefore, he made enforcea-
bly, by revision or repealed entirely. Pub
lie opinion, it is believed, is ripe for the
acceptance of an efficient law of this
character, and the Legislature will doubt
less respond to the public desire. The
Pennsylvania law is not as rigorous in
some of its details as the enactments of
the other states. 1t exacts sixteen weeks
attendance of all children from to 10
years of age

\ number of the states exact twenty
weeks attendance. The age limit varies
considerably, with the maximum age
higher than Pennsylvania in most of the
states The penalty for non-attendance
is quite low under our law. 1t is 50 for
the first offence and $5 for each subse-
quent offence. These are the maximum
figures. In Maine the maximum fine is
$25; Vermont, so to $50; Massachusetts
$50 for each offence; Nevada, first Of
fence, $50 to 500; subsequent offence,
500 to 5000 No state imposes a lower
maximum fine than Pennsylvania. In
certain states fine or imprisonment is the
alternative. In New York the imprison-
ment alternative is fixed at thirty days
The only states which have found it ex-
peGient to adopt this severe alternative

no fine is eXacted unless school attend
