THE ELECTION LEGAL.
Toomey and Shoemaker Become justices
of the Borough.


Yes erday afternoon Attorney General Nc
Cormick rendered his decision in the contest
over the Borough Justices Of this town and
Mahanoy City, deciding that there were va
caucies in the offices last February and that
therefore the elections made at that time
were legal The HERALD received this in-
formation last evening after our last edition
had gone to press.
This decision makes jeremiah Toomey and
William II. Shoemaker the legal Borough
Justices of town, and Messrs Ketner and
May the Justices in Mahanoy City It is
expected the commissions will arrive to-
morrow, or Monday. They will be issued
for five years.
The granting of the commissions will be
the final act in a series of litigations which
have aroused considerable interest in this
town and Mahanoy City for the past fifteen
months and completes the turning Of the
tables in favor of Messrs. Toomey, Shoe
maker, May and Ketner who were four of
the ward Justices turned out of office in the
spring of 1896 when Messrs. Lawlor, Cardin,
Coyle and Jones claimed to be the only legal
Justices in the two boroughs
Speaking Of the possible passage of law
giving each of the borough ward Justices
again which is now before the Legisa-
ture, A. w, Schalck Esq, of Pottsville, who
has been interested in the cases, said to-day
that it would have no effect on the Borough
Justices, save to give them competition. If
the law should be passed it would give Shen-
andoah and MahanOy City fourteen Justices

Making Birch oiI.

Connecticut farmers have found a comfortable side profit in gathering the twigs, branches and saplings of black birch for the birch oil distilleries. By protecting the young growth crops are quickly raised. The birch brush has brought from S1.50 to S3 n ton. The birch oil has sold at 50 to $8 pound, but is now less. One ton of birch yields four pounds Of oil. Farmers can make tho oil themselves. The distillery may be any rough building, and the machinery is inexpensive. The birch twigs, not over two inches in diameter, are cut in lengths of five inches and thrown into water tight tanks with copper bottoms, in which are coils of steam pipes. Three feet of water is poured in, the tanks are dramatically sealed, and steam is turned into the pipes. The water is kept boiling six hours, and the steam, rising, passes into pipe which runs in the form of a worm into barrel of cold water constantly renewed. The steam is condensed in the worm, and the oil drips from the end of the pipe into q pail 1t was formerly clarified from Q dull brown to light green after this process Now this is done by spreading a heavy woolen blanket over the birch wood inside the tank, and the oil drips out pure and ready for market.

Missionary With Onion Sauce.

A missionary about to be put to death by savage king, whom he had vainly attempted to convert. was greatly as- tonished to find that the king had sud- denly resolved to pardon him. The only stipulation his majesty made was that he should mount his horse and carry a small sealed packet and letter to an- other king some distance away.
 He started off in high glee, and on bis way he met with detachment of English sailors, sent to his assistance. They wanted him to go on board their ship, but be declined, being desirous of fulfilling his mission. But they would not accept this answer, and while the discussion was proceeding an officer ex- amined the packet and the letter.
 In the former he found number of pungent little onions, while the latter contained the simple but significant words in native hieroglyphios;
 "He will be delicious with these. "- Pearson's Weekly.
