The quarterly term of equity court
began yesterday, with Judge Archibald
on the bench. Only one case was taken
up yesterday and 1t will probably con-
sumo the time of the court for the
greater part of today. The Acme Coal
company is the plaintiff and Jacob W.
Strind and George +. Chamberlain de-
PENDANTS.
In 1898 the defendants leased to At
tOrney w. ID. Boyer, Of this city, the
coal under tract of land in Fell
passed into the hands Of the Acme Coal
company. This company did not pay
the minimum amount of royalty re-
uuired by the lease and the defen-
dants took steps to have the leases
forfeited.
The Acme company has invoked the
aid of the equity court to prevent this
action, holding that they have already
paid for all the merchantable coal un-
der the land covered by the leases, al
though they have mined but little of it,.
Tho witnesses examined yesterday
on behalf of the plaintiff were +. D..
Caryl and Charles Wallack, coal in
spectors, and william Griffith, of West
Pittston, who has attracted good deal
of attention by his statistics with ref
erenCe to anthracite coal, He is a
stockhOlder of the Acme company. At
torney s. B. Price appears for the Acme
company and Attorneys w. \. Wilcox
and John p. Kelly for the defendants.

Attorney f.. G. Newcomb yesterday
morning made an application before the
three Judges for a re-hearing in the
case of Edward l3anfield, who was last
week refused license for the hotel
adjoining the odd Fellows hell in Dun
more. Inasmuch as it was an old house
Mr.. Newcomb argued that the court
ought to permit q fun hearing of the
facts before finally denying the license.
Court took the papers and in the af-
ternoon Judge Archibald announced
that the application for a re-hearins
had been refused.

MISS HARRADEN'S NEW NOVEL

Beatrice Harraden's latest novel has
been n Of the greatest literary sue
cesses of the season in England, and in
this country it has had a large sale.
Miss Harradan rather discounted her
early success in Ships That Pass in the
Night by writing several stories which
treated in a commonplace way are ex-
t1emely disagreeable people. 1t was a
surprise therefore when her new novel
appeared recently to find that she had
made such great strides in literary
skill and had acquired SO much COM
mand Of her exceptional our in
satirical humor. Upon her heroine
she has certainly lavished great pains,
yet the girl does not strike one as diff
fering from several other girls of the
same type in recent fiction. The vii
lain, however, is original, and his con-
tentment in establishing a malignant
mental supremacy over a young and
imp~ressionable girl is satanic. The best
character of the book, Nurse Isabel, is
a purely original creation and it is we'll
worth reading the novel to make her
acquaintance. The story shows IA

1t makes me ShudGer to see 4 woman
bite thread or silk with her teeth, and
nine women cut of EN- take that way
OF shipping off ends when they sew.
The dentists have come to recognize
teeth which have been put to such use,
and have Christened them thread
teeth The biting Of thread is n of
he worst abuses to which Il tooth can
be subjected. Just why The habit is
formed would be hard to say, because
every work basket worth the name
contains a pair of scissors, and only
the merest fraction of time is los in
using them. What would matter the
loss of whole minutes when the well
fare Of things which can never be re-
placed is considered? The persistent
biting is literally saving the enamel
off the teeth, and nothing can take its
place; yet | venture to say that every
one of the thread biting mi would
stontly maintain that she takes the
best of care Of her teeth. and cannot
understand why she is forced to pay
such frequent visits to the dentist. He
will not tell her what is the matter,
because he has undoubtedly grown
weary CT giving good advice which no.
body follows. He will repair the dam
age as far as his skill goes, and pocket
his fees like a sensible mar Never,
never expect in this world t. get one
atom of sympathy for the results Of
your own foolishness, fer it will not be
forthcoming.

SO as to pass round each side, the curly
tips meeting in front in a light pouf,

Trade Review. A toque SO trimmed
with two pale-blue feathers is made of
hair-cloth woven Of white and blue.
It is turned up on the left side, where

roses. The same arrangement in
mauve, with a coronet of forget-me-

plumed hats are also beginning to put

very fashionable the coming autumn.
Their elegance and novelty depend
chiefly on the way in which the feath-
ers are set in.

A Cheap Pretty Bed Valance.

Brass beds are incomplete without a
valance of some kind as a finishing
touch. and this should harmonic with
or be of the same material as the other
trappings of the bed. There is a fad
now among fashionable people to
drape beds in heavy effects and rather
dark colorings. a Persian or Indian
shawl being considered most desira-
BILE; but many of us still retain the
prejudice in favor of inviting white
beds, especially where one is not
obliged to make the one piece serve as
a divan by day and "a bed by night.
Cleanliness is a necessary adjunct to
bed fittings, and these should be SO
constructed that they may be frequent
ly removed, shaken or laundered, and
easily replaced. The simplest way of
adjusting a valance is to spread
smoothly between the spring and the
mattress a fairly heavy cotton sheet;
to this is basted the valance, which is
already cut and finished to the right
depth; also fulled on a parse drawing
thread. 1t should be slit up and
hemmed at the corners to admit of its
passing smoothly around the posts of
the bedstead, and in most cases it
need be on but three sides Of the bed,
as the head is generally against the
wall. After being basted firmly it is
stitched by machine, when it is in con-
dition to be removed and done up al
most as easily as an ordinary sheet.
Shield-pins holding it to the spring at
each corner keep it in place during the
daily process of turning the mattress
above it. The fullness allowed should
be almost once and a half that OF the
measurement around the bed. The ma
terials selected may be cretonne, dim
ity or any goods preferred that is ap-
propriate to whatever style of quilt
and shams or pillow roll may be in
use. A simple and pretty one with an
ordinary Marseilles spread is of tam
bour curtain muslin, costing but rs
cents per yard (though more expen-
sive qualities may be purchased if de-
sired). 1t is quite heavy, and the en-
broidered effect is good. 1t also has
the advantage of being finished top
and bottom, requiring only the work
Of hemming the instead of
making the whole thing, unless it is
too deep, when the top may be turned
over, or some tucks put In to shorten
1t and really add to the effect. A sin
gle sham two yards wide Of the same
material is stretched across the pill
lows. the whole giving a fresh, clean,

alteration, since they are in direct op-
position. The other two movements
arc a s~ide-to-side movement, while the
chin is elevated as high as possible.
This stretches out the sides of the chin.
All these exercises will reduce the fat
II make it into muscle which is firm
and small. All of these self-stretching
muscle exercises must be practiced
daily, night and morning, repeating
about twenty-five times each. The
high, close collars and bands must be
removed, the neck being left perfectly
free from confinement of any kind, so
that it can be stretched to the fullest
extent without straining in any way"
1t has been asked whether these
stretching exercises will not make the
outer skin of the face all the more fab
by, but the iexibility of the inner It's
sue is the measure of the possible
stretching qualities of the outer cuti-
Gle, and as this inner tissue is tighter
1t will not yield to the full extent Of
the outer skin, So that while appar-
emily the outer skin is being stretched,
in fact it is not, but only the inner tbs,
sucs and muscles.
