The annual term of the United States
Circuit and District courts opened III
this city yesterday morning with
Judges NJ. w. Acheson. of the Circuit
court and Judge Joseph Burlington, Of
the District court, on the bench. The
Circuit court list was first called and
the Anna Dickinson case. which was
No. 1, was continued by agreement.
An application was made for the con-
tinuance of the case of the Traders
National bank against the Fidelity ana
Casualty company. of New York, a case
growing out Of A. b. Williams rela-
tions with the Traders bank as
cashier. After some argument it was
continued until the May term at Pitts
burg and is to be placed at the head
of the list
The Circuit court then moved over to
the Superior court room in the county
court house and the ejectment case Of
Mrs. Emma Plummer against the Hill

LackaWanna Coal company, limited
was called for trial before Judge Ache
son. Ex-Judges Willard and Jessup

underlaid by coal. Mrs. Plummer
claims title through her father, Sam
uel Calender who in turn got his title
from Edward London, his father-in-
law, who became the owner early in
the present century. A considerable
portion of yesterday was taken up
reading the testimony of Samuel Cal
lender taken at a previous trial. Mr..
Calender Is now dead. 1t is likely that
it will take several days to try The
case.
In the district court which is held
in the federal court room the grand
jury met and was sworn, after which
Judge Burlington named Henry Divel.

Where there is such a wide range OF
variety, it certainly should not be hard
to make a choice. Especially so, as
these are properly priced. This stock
has been most carefully gathered for
regular Spring trade, and comprises all
that is new and desirable in pattern,
shade and quality. Many novelties
lmong them, and mostly one waist pat

what that means if you are a careful

In city like Scranton there must

Giving MONKEYS Electric schocks

A man who went to the circus in
Chicago the other day shocked the
monkeys. He was an electrician, and
he took his battery with him and tried
1t on the unsuspecting beasts. He
pOked the two electrode handles be-
tween the bars OF their cage, but for
some time the monks fought shy Of
them. Finally the bravest monk in
the cage came up and, selling the
handles, started in to pull the wires
out by the roots. But the electrician
was too quick for him and turned on
the current. The monkey squealed
and tried 10 let go, but he couldn't
His hands trembled and his arms be-
gan curving up and inward. He gave
one ear-splittlng shrek as the current
was turned off, and, dropping the han
dies to the floor, jumped TO the tallest
perch In the cage and proceeded 10
massage his arms and hands from
shoulders to finger tips
All the rest Of the monkeys had re-
treated TO the furthest corner OF the
cage, leaving the electrodes lying on
the floor. In a few minutes the monk
ey that had been shocked descended
and, Selling can OF cold water, he
poured the entire contents on the two
"h0t" handles, evidently with the idea
that they were on fire and needed TO
be put out.

In the museum In the SchlnkelDlatz,
Berlin, where Prof. DR.. Fleischer has
collected the marvellous royal collection
OF musical instruments, the old spinet
used by the composer Bach ia still pre-
served. The instrument has kept its
tone remarkably through all the years.
The little thorn" U.atln, spinal or
sharpened quill. with which each brass
or steel wire Is thrummed, is more dur
able than the cork or felt hammer OF
the modern plano.
Bach's first preludium, as played by
Dr. Fleischer on the occasion VI a re-
cent visit to Berlin, sounded most beau
tiful on this little instrument. The
composition was harplike In character,
and could well imagine that many Of
Bach's and Hayden's productions might
be better adapted to rendition on the
spinet than on the modern plano.
Bach's instrument has two banks OF
keys and stops at the side to reinforce
each tone by its duplicate, octave and
double octave. Mozarts travelling spi-
net, no larger than a cello case, lay
open near Bach's splnet.

them as denoting almost perfection
The physical fact that there is no dis
parity in size, that they look level into
each others faces, and see In eacn
other those gifts of beauty which they
are accustomed to hear their elders SO
frankly praise, combined with those
qualities of daintinesS and refinement
for which they themselves have no
name, but which they value at their
true worth, makes an irresistible APP
peal to their love- Children who are
so happy as to enjoy such companion
ship live in a kind of fairyland. They
have almost the reality of the fairy IN
their friend, and fancy and Imagination,
intensified by the suggestions Oh the
other mind which uniteS in make-be-
heve. supply the rest. These cases OF
love at first sight between children 90
not lead to camaraderie of the enter
prising kind, or partnerships for actlvl-
ties in games, or gardening, or romps,
but are contemplating and quiet. They
are content and happy to be IN eacn
others company, are often almost en-
barrassed when they meet, love walk
ing together hand in hand, and ma
more to say of each other when parted
than to each other when together.
When the ages are different the spell
of beauty is no less potent, and is ac-
knowledged in the frankest and most
delightful manner. Very little children
who are beautiful are adored by those
a. few years older, and nearly always
return this in kind. The whole of the
old pictorial treatment of the subject
of the young ST. John and the 1nfant
Christ. though it is in the form OF re-
ligious alteration, has for real motive
this mutual recognition of beauty ana
the instant kindling of love between
two young children. See, for instance,
in Leonardo da Vincis Our Lady OF
the Rocks" or in less degree IN the
