To my friends who are farmers in Prince

who may be interested:
Having been tobacco buyer on the Farm
vile market for a number of years, and my
own interest cOmpe.s me TO notice carefully
and critically the Leaf Tobacco offered on
our market for sale, as to it, quality, color
and texture particularly during the present
season. a. there has cen large proportion
Of dingy cOlOred. coarse, bOny tobacco Of

and color, as general thing than other
tObaccOs sold on our market. And as far as
my observation goes, makes "A much better
and more suitable tobacco for general pur
poses than tobaccOs heretofore sold on our
market.
The above statement is written without
being solicited. and is given as my own
opinion, and hope may prove TO the best
interest Of my friends who are farmers in
this and other counties as well as to the
tobacco trade generally.

LITERARY NOTES.

In a neat volume of 424 pages Rev. L.
Edwards of 636 Tilghman street Allen
town, formerly of Minersville, Schuyl-
kill county, has recently published the
essay which took the 5000 prize offered
at the Worlds fair eisteddfod in Chicago,
in 1893. 1t was the authors intention to
put this volume within reach of the
public at an earlier day, but the business
depression of 1S9i-5 interferred. As now
offered, the book has suffered nothing
from the delay, for in addition TO the
main essay there are seven interesting
appendices, ali dealing in topics supple
mentary to the theme of the principal
treatise, namely "Welshmen as Civil, Po-
ltical and Moral Factors in the Forma-
tion and Development of the United
States Republic" Rev. Mr.. Edwards
has dedicated his volume to "his life
long acquaintance and friend than whom
few Welshmen are more highly and de-
servedly esteemed" Benjamin Hughes,
esq, of this city, and offers an excellent
portrait of Mr.. Hughes as the frontis-
piece. Among the numerous other por-
traits in the volume we note those OF
Hon. II. NJ. Edwards, Hon. Morgan B.
Williams, and Daniel Edwards, esq, as
possessing special interest in this local
ity. As for the subject matter of the
book, II is not too much to say that 1t
embodies in the most succinct from the
clearest resume which We have seen of
Cambro-America influences and agen-
cies, and to all to whom this theme ap-
peals it can be cordially recommended.
A Corner of the West is the title of
the new novel by Miss Edith Henrietta
Fowler, the sister of the brilliant author
OF "a Double Thread" and Concerning
Isabel Carnaby." 1t Is issued by d. APP
pleton & Co.
"The "Reminiscences Of a Very Old
Man, 1S0S-lSI7," Is the quaint title which
the distir guis he'd eT Rraver, the late John
Sartain. gave TO the attractive volume
soon to be published by the Applotons.

Copyright Kinks.

- ONE TIME AGO Lord Rose
~a berry, the English statesman,
~ collected for publication in
book form a number of
speeches which he had delivered at
various times. He used in part the
stenographic reports printed in the
London Times at times of delivery,
and the publishers of that journal
promptly claimed a copyright over
these reports and sued to restrain
Lord Rosebery's publisher.
The contention of the Times was
sustained by the judge, and the pub
Usher enjoined from issuing the book
without settling with the Times for
the copyright. The court held that the
person delivering a speech or address
had not proprietary interest in either
his ideas or his words, unless he had
reduced them to manuscript before de-
livery. Inc copyright rested with the
person who reduced his ideas and
words to writing. Lord Rosebery had
spoken ex tempore, or at all events
had failed TO produce evidence of his
having written his speeches before de-
livery, therefore he could not transfer
to another what he did not own him
self
This queer decision did not suit his
lordship's publisher, who appealed and
has just won a reversal before the ap-
pellate court. The court of appeals
very sensibly holds that a mans ideas
are his own, whether expressed orally
or in writing; and that the man who
reports those ideas, If by a phono-

Lee and His Prisoners.

General Sheridan destroyed so many
supplies going forward from Rich
mond to Lees men in the Wilderness,
in 1854, that for while the latter were
in danger of starvation. At a confer
ence in Lees quarters one of his gen.
erals became greatly excited over the
matter and said hotly, as General Lee
turned toward him:
II was just saying to these officers,
general, that If I were in command
of this army would notify Grant that
I had no rations for his prisoners, and
If he wanted to save them from star
walton he would have to send some to
them"
Lees eyes flashed and his rebuke
was sharp.
'The prisoners that we have here,
General -, are my prisoners" he
said; they are not General Grants
prisoners. and as long as I have any
rations at all I shall certainly share
them with my prisoners. Saturday

An Excellent Example.

" UDGE HALSEY, of the Luzerne
bench, as we learn from the
Wilkes-B Barre News, has taken
~ a salutary position with refer
ence to the habitual requests of lazy
attorneys for continuances of cases
which could just as well be carried to
trial if the attorneys would bestir
themselves. Our contemporary thus
narrates a recent episode in that coun-
ty:
Judge Halsey was on the bench and a
case was called. The defendant not be-
ing present, bail was forfeited and the
next case on the list was taken up. 1t
had not proceeded far when the attor-
ney in the first case hustled into court,
up to the bar, and as though expecting
everything else to be dropped for his ac-
commodation, said: May it please your
honor, we are ready to proceed"
Your case has been disposed Of" said
Judge Halscy. THE bail has been for
fcited"
The lawyers countenGnce indicated his
amazement. THE case has been called!
the bail has been fOrfeited!' he gasped
as though struggling to catch the mean
ing of the words-"but ] was at my Of
thought the court would send for me-"
Judge Halsey cleared his throat and in
a distinct voice said: THE court is sit
ting for the disposition of the cases as
they come, and they will be disposed OF
without sending for anybody. 1t costs
the county $500 per day to run the courts.
and much valuable time cannot he taken
up in sending to Offices for attorneys.
The attorneys ought to know when they
1,.,,r In Iiet ln ro1 20,
answer when they are called. Too much
time has been wasted in waiting for de-
PENDANTS to appear when they pleased.
They were held in recognizance to an
Swer and II was their duty to do So
Hereafter when defendants are called, If
they fail to answer, their bail will be for
feited and a Caplas will be sent out to
bring them into court Furthermore, a
forfeiture of bail in the future will mean
just what ii says-the bOndsmen will be
proceeded against and the bail collected
unless very good reasons are given for
its remission. And in this connection it
may be stated that the court has agreed
not to accept lawyers as bail in the flu
ture, as they make more trouble than
anyone else when forfeiture Is demanded
There has been rule of court prohibit
ing lawyers from going BAIL but it has
not been enforced. Hereafter the rule

over. forfeiture of bail will not be the
farce that 1t has been in the past
The particular lawyer referred to heed
ed the lesson intended. and so did his as
sociates who heard the judges words
Since then there have been but few con-
tinuances asked for. and, when granted,
good reasons We're shown.
The practice which Judge Halsey
vetoed in Luzerne county is by no
means unknown in Lackawanna. 1t
costs just as much to waste the courts
time in Lackawanna as it does in Lu-
zerne-about 81 a minute. There is no
reason why avoidable waste should be
permitted. The local judges now
have the advantage of a good example
and can earn just credit by tightening
the reins.
