CAMPAIGN BUTTONS.
A Fad That Had a Lively But Very
Short Existence.

New Orleans Times Democrat
"I became interested a few years ago
in a campaign button manufactory,"
said Mr.. Mark Goldberg, of Chicago,
who is spending a few days in New
Orleans, "and was fortunately just in
time to catch the craze. We had quite
q large plant, and We're able to turn
out 10O,0 900 buttons a day. The device
was printed on disks Of specially pre-
pared celluloid, which were then slight
ly softened and pressed on metal rings
with a stud fastening. That part was
done by a machine which was invent
ed by woman in Iowa. She made
about $4,000 out of her patent. The
first buttons were nearly all political,
but the fad soon extended to other va
rieties, and at one time we made over
300 different sets, each set having some
times as many as forty separate de-
signs. Making the drawing alone kept
a corps of ten men busy. They We're
originally printed in black, but after
a while the demand for novelty forced
us to put in color presses, and some OF
the work was really artistic. Even
tually we used photography also, and
printed from the negatives direct TO the
celluloid. The process was a secret
one, and we had to pay a pretty stiff
royalty.
"There was a great difference i'm the
quality Of the buttons. Some OF them

IMPORTANT EQUITY SUIT.
Throop Estate Sued by New York
Executor.

An equity suit was begun yesterday
by Welles & Torrey at the instance a
Daniel NJ. Stinson, executor of the es-
tate Of Willard Parker, late of New
York, TO recover from the b. II.
Throop estate certain profits of lands
which it is alleged were Jointly owned
by Parker and Dr. Throop.
The land in question is the old Sher-
wood, Spencer and Miller farms in
what was Providence township and
which is now known as the Throop ad-
dition to the city of Scranton.
Parker, it is alleged, originally owned
the land. DR.. Throop secured a half
interest i'm the first named tract and a
third interest in the other two. He, by
agreement, was to manage the proper-
ty. Parker died in 1884 and DIR. Throop
in 1897. In the meantime there was no
accounting, it is claimed. and the Par
ker estate seeks TO recover the profits
of the property in that interim.
AS the land has been divided into
building lots Which sell at good prices,
the amount involved in the suit is ex.
tensive.

UNNECESSARY LITIGATION.
Judge Edwards Descants on the
Foolishness of Wasting Money
in Lawyers Fees and
and Court Costs.

Judge Edwards delivered an opinion
yesterday that might be read with
profit by everybody. 1t is a criticism
Of the conduct Of indiscreet parties who
will insist on running into court on the
smallest pretense. The case in ques-
ton is a fight over a small estate left
by Patrick IL. Brown, late of Danville.
Judge Edwards says in his opinion:
The history of this small estate shows
that much expense and many difficult
ties could have been avoided by the use
of a few grains of ordinary discretion.
Patrick IL. Brown died in June, 1896,
at Danville, Pa, He owned one piece of
real estate, not of much value, and there
was a certificate Of deposit amounting
with interest TO S324.79 This certificate
was in the hands of Michael LOTUS.
There was no other personal property.
There was only one claim against the
estate. This was made by the Carbondale
poor district, who had taken charge of
the decedent and OF his property. The
poor districts claim was finally adjusted
before the auditor and fixed at the sum
OF sl2j. The personal estate, If not di-
Verted TO any other use was amply suf-
fcient to pay the debt. leaving balance
for the heirs. There Were two heirs, both
OF age.
Instead OF amicably settling the estate
without the expense Of administration,
one OF the heirs seeks an attorney, The
heir wanted his share OF the estate and
employed tho attorney for that purpose.
The first step was to secure letters of ad-
ministration. The heir, APPARENTLY, could
not secure a bond. and Mr. Gramer was
selected as a proper person TO admins
ter the estate. Mr.. Gramer qualified as
administrator and proceeded at once and
vigorously TO settle the estate.

THE BEST MAN.
Why He Has Part in the Marriage
Ceremony.


From the Women's Home Companion.
While we smile at the wife-stealing
propensity of the savage or half-saVage
nations, we cherish as our dearest
form a custom that had its direct orig
in in this very self-same practice. The
best man." who plays so important q
part in well-regulated marriages that
nowadays have any pretense at all to
the fashionable, once on time in Swe-
den occupied a position that was use
full as well as ornamental. In the old
days the Swedish groom found it de-
sirable, in fact. to have several best
men," to defend him from the assaults
of rivals and prevent them from carry
ing away his bride. The Scandinavian
warrior of ancient times was Tar loo
lofty in his ideas to condescend to plea
for a maiden's hand. SO he patiently
waited until some other man who was
more gallant had obtained the fair
ones consent. Then when all the de-
tails had been nicely arranged, the
proud warrior with a body of WELL
trained retainers, dashed down on the
wedding party, and, if strong enough,
carried away the bride. The best
men" (and it was very essential that
they should be the best men in those
days., therefore, became necessary fix
lures 10 the marriage ceremony and
they were so well esteemed and their
popularity became so permanent that
when the reason for their existence
was removed they were still retained
Hence, the custom is preserved in the
"best man" of today.

played out, OF course, a few are still
sold, but not hundredth part as many
as We're formerly called for. We

demand for buttons bearing portaits OF

that shows some vitality is the per.

own portrait or that of ones sweet
heart. 4 great many Of these are
made TO order. We sell to the dealers
and they dispose of their wares TO the
hawkers. Nearly all the buttons in the
market are pcddled on the curb"
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-01-12

The first step was to secure the de-
posit in the bank. 1t had been there for
years drawing only two per cent. inter-
est BUT Mr.. LOTUS had the certificate.
He refused to surrender it to the admin
istrator. claiming a right to the money
either for himself or the other heir whom
he represented. The administrators then
brought an action of replevn for the GER
tifiCate, resorting to arbitration. There
was not a day lost. He also presented
"a petition to the orphans court, and OBJ
tained an order for the sale of the real
estate, which sale was duly advertised
in the newspapers and by posters.
The sale was for the purpose of paying
the claim of the poor district and the eX-
penses of administration. Before 'he
day of sale Mr.. LOTUS attorney petit
toned court to stay the sale. This was
allowed on condition that Mr.. Lotus pay
into court the sum of 500 to cover the
costs and the poor district claim, which
at that time was supposed to be about
$500. The money was paid into the clerk 5
office and an auditor was appointed TO
distribute the fund to the parties le-
gally entitled thereto
After half a dozen sessions before the
auditor, at any rate, some time during
the proceedings, Mr.. LOTUS agreed 70
surrender all claims TO the certificate of
deposit, allowing the administrator to
take the money and the claim of the poor
district by agreement of the parties
was fixed at $l25. But in the meantime
the costs and expenses had been accu-
mulating at very rapid pace All the
machinery of the law had been put in
motion to accomplish that which could
have been done in the beginning without
any expense and wniCh, after wasting
over two hundred dollars, was done
finally by agreement Of the parties them
selves. After the last skirmish of the
legal battle was ended, Mr. LOFTS
through his attorney objected TO some
of the items of costs presented by the
administrator and his attorney.
1t was seen that the luxury of such
litigation was expensive to everybody
concerned. The auditor very wisely re-
duced some Of the charges. Exceptions
were filed 10 the auditors report. 1t is
these exceptions that are now before us
for consideration. They are filed on be-
half Of Mr.. Lotus. II may be pertnently
said here that had Mr.. Lotus promptly
surrendered the certificate of deposit 10
the administrator, fully two-thirds Of the
costs would have been avoided. lie made
q mistake. II left the door open for the
administrators to proceed against the real
estate and to bring the replevin suit.
The zeal and promptitude shown by
the administrator and his attorney are
unmlstakable and fully meet the highest
demands OF the law. We have examined
the items of the account as stated In the
auditors report with considerable scru-
tiny and we have succeeded in finding
only one item which should not have
been allowed. The administrator claimed
five per cent on the 500 paid in court.
The auditor allowed him two and one
half per cent. The money never went

Requisition Papers Have Been Asked

RosMoZVITcH ARRESTED.
Wanted in Luzerne County for Rob-

Tuesday an order OF court was made
for the release of such prisoners at
the county Jail as had had the bills
against them ignored by the grand
jury. lgnatz Rosmozvitch, who was
charged with completely in the Austin
Heights outrage, was among them.
Yesterday he was TO have been set at
liberty but he did not gain his free
dom. County Detective Leyshon had
him held on the strength OF a warrant
sworn out before Alderman Donahoe. of
Wilkes-Barre. by James O'Bricn, Le-
high Valley detective, in which Ros-
mozvitch is charged with robbing
freight cars AZ the l.. & B. junction.
Detective oBrien came up last night
to take Rosmozvitch down to Luzerne
county.

into the hands of the administrator and
it will be paid out by the clerk of the
court who is entitled to poundage on It.
The auditor erred in this particular. The
exception to the allowance OF $3.50 per-
centage on the money in court to the
administrator is sustained. All the other
exceptions are dismissed. The amount
to be distributed 10 Michael LOTUS is
s6Sl.70 instead of s66420. Thus modified
the report OF the auditor is confirmed
finally.

WORSE THAN FIRST SUPPOSED
Jersey Judge Measure Has Passed
the House.

The new federal district dilemma is
even worse than at first supposed. The
substitute measure, framed by Con-
gresham Parker, of Newark, provid-
ing for IA third circuit judge with head
quarters in Newark. instead OF a third
district judge with headquarters in
Scranton, has not only been reported
from the judiciary committee, but has
passed the house.
So Congressman Connell regretfully
informed the new district boomers
yesterday. 1t was introduced and sent
on its way through the house while Mr..
Connell was confined to his hotel with
la grippe, and it was not until he had
recovered and was able to resume his
seat that he discovered the work OF
the Jerseyman. The measure will be
attacked in the senate.

AT TER GRIP

There is no denying the serious
fact that there is a great amount Of
sickness from the grip; that over
worked men and women now suf-
fer more than at any other time of
the year from lassitude, headaches,
slight chills and fever and other
symptoms of imperfect health; that
people fall sick more readily now
than at any other time of the year !;
and that whenever an epidemic
does appear it invariably plays
havoc with those who are run down
and out OF condition.
The utmost caution should be
taken to keep the blood pure and
the nervous system in healthy tone
There is no more excuse for the
prevalent symptoms of stagnant,
impure blood in the body than
there is for the barbarism Of filthy
streets in a city.
The relaxed and sluggish action
of the excretory organs loads the
body with waste material that pois-
ons it and brings on headaches,
rheumatic pains. sleepless nights
and proftless days, due solely to
the circulation in the blood, or de-
post in the tissues, of these waste
matters which Painc's celery COM
pound alone will quickly drive out.
When the arms. hips or back feel
the twinges of acute rheumatism it
is high time to relieve the kidneys
and bladder from the strain that So
often brings on Bright's disease,
gravel, dropsy and complications OF
| diseases with other organs whose
health depends upon the purity OF
the blood. Prompt use OF Paine's
celery compound will save the
weakened parts from yielding to
disease.
In its peculiar ability to invigor-
ate the body, to make new blood
and to regulate the nerves, lies the
great value OF Paine's celery com
pound in all wasting diseases anC
disorders of the kidneys, liver and
stomach.

ton to fit it; it is not a secret |
remedy.
But it is, first, the result of the |
lifelong study of the greatest ply
sician America has produced, a
man whose reputation was world
wide years before he had ever ar
rived at this formula which has
done so much good; a man who
has received the highest degrees
from the best colleges, who was at
the time OF his discovery a pro-
lessor at Dartmouth and a lecturer
in other universities, a scholar, a
member of a family which has
made its mark in every department
of public life in America. 1t is
remedy the formula Of which has
been furnished to physicians in
good standing always, and which
physicians we're prescribing long
before the present manufacturers
put it up for public distribution; it
was discovered by Prof. Edward L.
Phelps, M. D., IL. d., and was
first prescribed with wonderful suc-
cess by that eminent group OF prac-
titioners who have made American
physicians known the world over,
and of whom he was then as now,
undoubtedly the most famous.
The best test that can be applied
20 Paine's celery compound is to
use it.
If one is run down." feels with
out energy, lifeless, useless, fretful,
take this great remedy, and note
the change. Constipation will no
longer give one disquieting
thought; the appetite will come
back; sleeplessness and headaches
will be things of the past. This is
the experience of men and women
in every part of the country.
General good health depends up
on the perfect action of the nervous
currents, the vigor of the circula-
ton and the quality OF the blood.
The history OF Paine's celery
compound has been made familiar
20 every intelligent household in
| he land. In the clearest and most
lircct manner conscientious men
md women have told OF their rapid
recovery from disease by the use
IF this remedy.

)roached by any other remedy for
