Praise of lola.

London, Feb. 23.-The editorials of
the morning papers, based on special
dispatches from Paris, pay enormous
tribute to NJ. Zola's splendid courage
and public spirit when fighting against
the heaviest odds.
The Daily News, in commenting on
the sentence, which it characteriZes as
Savage and brutal" says it is a con-
demnation not only of lola, but or the
republic itself. adding:
1.-The jury yielded to the military die
tation which now over-rides law ana
France is virtually in the hands or a
military government
The Times saws: The sentence is an
appalling outcome of the whole AFFAIR
which must cause the profoundest mis-
givings among all Frenchmen capable
of serious reflection"

1897 This Is case growing out of the
late Judge Handley being president of
two companies; sole owner of one and
five-sixth owner of another, and being
appointed by the latter to strike a bar
gain with the former. The latter was
not satisfied with the manner in which
the ex-judge struck the bargain.
In the case of the commonwealth
against p. J. Mclaughlin, the appeal

Mclaughlin was prosecuted for SELL
ing on Sunday and selling to minors.
In the first case he was acquitted and
the costs put on the prosecutrix, Mrs.
Kate Shaw. In the other case the
costs were divided. Some of the wit
nesses for whom costs were taxed up
appeared in both cases and some APP
peared only in one case. Mclaughlin
made an objection to the manner in
which the costs were appartioned and
succeeded in securing a re-taxation.
Mrs. Shaw appealed from the re-taxa-
tion and her appeal is now sustained.
In his opinion Judge Archibald takes
occasion to remark "As the evidence
ought to have convicted him beyond a
question he has gotten off contrary to
his deserts"

A grand double bill is the order at
the Linden theater for the first three
days of this week. The curtain raiser,
a one-act comedy, rs Marriage a Fail
ure," was given by Miss Alice Kemp
and Charles H. Mckinley in an excel
lent manner. ]. F. McCabe and Frank
Carlton were favorites. The little skit
"A Bachelors Troubles" by Bartling
and Robson, is excruciately funny.
Percy Frutchey, of this city, whom
many have heard of as a trick bicycle
rider, astonished everybody by the
wonderful dexterity with which he
rides his wheel A description of the
things he does with a wheel are
hardly to be believed. He kept the au-
dience busy applauding him. Percy is
the champion trick bicycle rider of
Pennsylvania.
The bill ends with delightful four
scene comedy entitled "Uncle Joshs
Troubles" which is at once very anus
ing and highly pathetic. Mr.. Mckinley
was Uncle Josh and Miss Kemp, little
Dot. Manager Brooks announces that
he Will give one of Bittenbenders
Scranton Special bicycles, '9S model, to
the most popular lady in Scranton.
The ballots are handed to each person
entering the theated to be deposited in
a box as they leave after they have
written the name of their candidate
thereon. The contest will last two
weeks and the progress of the voting
will be announced from the stage each
evening.
