Out of dozen or more applicants for
naturalization before Judge Bechtel on Sat
urday but three passed, and very amusing
answers were made TO the various questions
put to the applicants. The case Of John
Hughes, of Mahanoy Plane, presented some
peculiar features He made application for
final papers, but there was no record of his
having declared his intention Of becoming a
citizen. 1t was shown, however, that before
the war Hughes had declared his intentions
in Tennessee and been granted his final
papers, but that during the war the court
house containing these records was de-
stroyed by fire, and also the house in which
Hughes final papers were. He must, there
fore, again declare his intentions before final
papers can be granted. Journal

DISPENSERS DENOUNCED.
Those at Charleston Accused of ViO-
IatinG the Law.

Charleston, S. c., March 6.-The grand
jury of Charleston county made a pre-
sentiment before the court here which
scores the dispensers and the methods en-
ployed by them. The jury accuses the
dispensers of uniformly disregarding
their rules and assert that sales are made
to minors, to people who can't sign their
names, and in fact to any and every one
who will buy. One dispenser is quoted as
saying Damn the law. it is sales we are
after making" and this is asserted to be
the method of which the states business
is conducted here. The jury also says
that cases presented to them We're sup
ported by the most fiimsy evidence, and
reference is made to an important case
which was not brought before them. They
ask Significantly for the reason for this.
Marshal Martin and Sergeant Alexander
are accused of furnishing money to con-
stables with which to make cases, alto
gether the presentment will create a de-
cided sensation.

A LOTTERY ADVOCATED.
A Plan Proposed at Tampa for Relief
From Taxation.

Tampa, Fla, March edward A.
Beals. inspector for the weather bureau
al Washington, has arrived here and begun
an inspection of the observatory in this
city. He will make a number Of recon-
mendations in regard to this office and
also the other offices which he has visited
in the state. His idea is one for the gem
eral Improvement OF the weather service.
Tn Tampa National Building and Saw
ings Association held a meeting yesterday
at which they declared a dividend of IS
per cent. This is the best financial rec
ord of any building association in this
city and il probably has no superior in
the south. The Cuban war has cast a
shadow over the city, but Notwithstanding
this and the prevailing hard times which
is prevalent throughout the country
Tampa has pushed continuously ahead.
The tax problem has been worrying some
of our people and many propositions have
been discussed for a relief Many claim
that the rate of taxation is excessive and
that il should by all means be reduced
even il 1t necessitated the employment Of
attorneys to overthrow the city charter,
or throw the city into the hands of a re-
ceiver. These two plans were thoroughly
discussed and both have now been dismiss
ed, at least nothing has been heard of them
lately
The latest is to obtain by legislation the
right to establish a city lottery, and let
it pay the expenses of the city, An ar
gument as to its advisabihty was heard
to-day, the party advocating IL alleging
that by such a course no taxes need be lev
led which fact would induce the invest
ment of capital. The claim was also
made that the money which is now sent
out of this city to foreign lotteries by our
cuban and Spanish population would be
retained at home and the revenue derived
from the operation of the lottery would
soon enable the city to pave every street
and to put in extensive improvements
which would place her at the head of the
list with other southern cities.
