The contemplated resignation of Hon
Cyrus l.. Pershing as president Judge Of the
county court has been in circulation several
weeks, and it is now said he will throw of
the ermine eafter the licenses have been dis
posed of The Journal says THE resigna-
tion of Judge Pershing early in the spring
will cause the leaders of the two great parties
some anxiety, for that means that two
judges must be elected next fall. Already
members of the bar are grooming themselves
for the nominations on either of the two
tickets. But Judge Pershing's resignation
has not yet been written and those who claim
to be close to him may be mistaken as to his
intentions. Many of his friends contend
that if his health will permit him to go
through with the work of the license court
he will be able to continue to perform the
duties of his ofhce."

WAS II A FORGERY +?
such is the Defense Set Up by Farmer
Evans

Silas Hoofnagle and William Evans are
neighbOrs and adjacent farm owners near
BrandOnville. They are also owners of a
considerable number of cows 1t appears
that some months ago Evans cows, while
pasturing, strayed into Hoofnagle's fields
and as alleged by Hoofnagle, did consider
able damage to his crops.
HoOfnagle proceeded in a summary way
and impounded Evans seven cows. He then
appeared before Justice Staufer at Ringtown
to commence an action for damages against
Evans. The Justice refused to entertain the
suit, But it appears that Hoofnagle selected
three of his neighbors to appraise the dam
age done and they fixed the amount at $50.
This amount he demanded from Evans as a
consideration for releasing the cows. Evans
refused TO pay the amount alleging that
he owed Hoofnagle nothing
Subsequently the cows were released and
HOofnagle sent Judgment note payable in
four months to the Evans home with a re-
quest that the latter and his wife sign it.
This note Evans declares was never signed
by him, or his wife, but Hoofnagle claims the
note became due. He placed it in the hands
Of T. P. Beddall, Esq, of town, for collec-
tion. Last evening the Sheriff made a levy
upon the Evans property near Brandonville.
This morning Evans and his wife hurried to
town and consulted with NJ. NJ Burke, Esq,
who Immediately forwarded papers to the
court at Pottsville for a rule to show cause
why the judgment should not be opened, on
the ground that the note upon which it is
based is fraud and forgery, and that there
is nothing due from Evans, OF his wife to
Hoofnagle.
The case will be watched with interest, as
both parties are almost as well known in this
town as well as in the Valley, and their re-
spective friends will anxiously await a de-
termination of the question of forgery

THE CONTEST COURT.
Judge Dunn Directed to Close by wednes-
day Next

The Lyon-Dunn contest court was in
session yesterday when witnesses were heard
from Tower City, Porter West, Mahanoy
township, Morea, Ashland, Barry, Pinegroye,
Pottsvile and Washington township.
The argument on the question of throwing
out the Fifth ward of Pottsville was taken
up' each lawyer being given half hour to
argue the question. Mr.. Scbalck for the re-
spondent submitted brief, giving a number
of authorities in support Of the contention of
the respondent. He referred to the import
ance Of the Office of assessor. and the great
powers conferred upon them making them
judicial officers. He claimed it was the duty
of the assessor to personally register the
name of every voter in bis district, and that
the work under no circumstances can be done
by an irresponsible party. He declared the
registration was Illegal, and being Illegal,
there was no registration at all, and, there
fore, every voter was required to make proof
of his right to vote.
Mr. Ramsey followed Mr. schalck. He
contended that the registration was legal, be-
cause Assessor Harry H8use had taken the
proper oath of Office, aud had supervised the
work
Before closing the session the court made
an order upon Judge Dunn to close his side Of
the case on Wednesday next The contes

IN FAVOR OF RECIPROCITY
British West India Colonies Set the HON,
Government at Work


London, Nov. 3.-The British ambas-
sador to the United States, Sir Julian
Pauncefote has been instructed to as
| certain the views OF the government OF
the United States in regard to recipro-
city with the West Indies.
1t has been known here for some time
that the West Indian possessions Of
Great Britain were urging the home
government TO secure them all the rec
iprocity advantages possible under the
Dingley act. The initiative was taken
by British Guinea, when the high court,
or colonial legislature. unanimously
adopted a resolution requesting the au-
thorities at London to instruct the Brit
ism ambassadors at Washington to Sc
cure all the advantages offered other
countries in the line OF reciprocity. The
debate IN the high court brought out the
statement that the sugar industry of the
colony, which is the chief one, was de-
pendent TO large extent on the Ameri-
can market, the shipments to the Unit
ed States exceeding those to all the 9TH
er countries combined. Without a reel
pTocity arrangement, it was stated in
the debate, South American Sugar-pro-
ducing countries would secure control of
the American market and the industry
of British Guinea would be crippled, If
not destroyed. Ii was understood that
the other British-American colonies
would take action similar to that of
British Guiana. The instructions now
issued to Sir Julian Pauncefote. are in
response 10 these appeals from the
British colonies.
The British colonies which secured
reciprocity treatie under the Mckinley
law were: Barbados, Guiana, Jamaica,
Leeward Islanjs, Trinidad and Wind
ward Islands. The treaties were nego-
tiated between Sir Julian Pauncefote
and Mr.. Blaine on February IA, 1892. and
President Harrison put them into ef-
feet the same day by proclamation. In
that case the British government acted
for the colonies. but subsequently each
colony passed law caSying the reci-
procity arrangement into effect. The
same procedure would be observed in the
present case. No reciprocity treaties
were made for the British possessions of
the Bahamas, Bermuda or British Hon
duras, as it was found that there were
no articles on which reciprocal exchange
could be made.
The aggregate trade OF these British
colonies is very great, exceeding that
OF some OF the fiTst-class nations. When
the last treaties were made the exports
OF the colonies were S33. 000. 900 annually,
ana the imports about the same The
main shipments 10 the United States
were: Sugar. sS.s5S. 900: fruits $500, 600;
coffee. $4,000; cocoa, $500, 900; drugs and
chemicals sS5S, 600.

The Value of a Reason.
CBy VIM. Woodhouse. Jr)

In a town not thousand miles from
New York is an advertising manager
who insists that whenever bargains are
offered good reasons for the lowering
OF the prices shall be inserted in the
advertisement. The proprietor is with
him heart and soul. and always insists
that the real reason shall be given.
II goods are cut because they are
shelf-worn, he says so; If because
they are on; Of style. ne says so; il be-
cause he simply wants 10 ge; rid of them
he says so. Whatever may be the reason
that reason is stated. There are mer-
chants in that same town-successful
ones. too-whO differ with him They
cay it's best not 10 advertise defects. but
advertise the bargains. and let the peo-
pie find out the wherefore when the store
is reached. These merchants are honest
! am positive, and would not defraud a
buyer out Of single cent. They simplv
are afarid If they advertise the ds.ee;
that people won, buy.
And that is just where they are
wrong.
There are always buyers who will
jump a. a bargain, and who are smart
enough 70 know that there must be
some good reason Why the prices are
lowered. They don't care if the goods
are trifie unused. or shop-worn, or
oft OF style: they're not sticklers for
fashion, and good reason for the price
cutting satisfies them. The before
mentioned advertising manager ana
etorekeeper are jus; shrewd enough 10
know this. The consequence is that
whatever bargains are offered are sold
sold quickly. too, as rule There
isn't store IN that town 50 entirely
free from has-beens and out OF dates.
