Seeing and KnOWipZ.

An eminent lord chjef, justice who
was trying a risnt of way case had be-
fore hiv'~d witness, an old farmer, who
was proceeding to tell the jury that he
had "knowed the path for 60 year, and
my feyther towld | as he heard my
Granddaughter say
Stop cried the judge. 1--WE can't
have any hearsay evidence here"
"Noiw exclaimed Farmer Giles.
"Then how dost know who thy feyther
was. 'cept by hearsayT'
After the laughter had subsidized the
Judge said, '1n courts Of law we can
only be guided by what you have seen
with your eyes and nothing more nor
less"
"Oh, that be blowed for a tale" re-
piled the farmer. 81 ha' got bile on
the back of my neck, and never seed
'un, but be prepared to swear he's
there, dang 'un"
This second triumph on the part OF
the witness set In a torrent of hearsay
evidence about the footpath, which OBJ
tanned weight with the jury, albeit the
Judge told them it was not testimony
of any value, and the farmers party
won.

POteen.
POteen.
This wild west Of Ireland Is the nat

This wild west Of Ireland Is the nat
ural home of "poteen," or Illicit whis-
ky. This is because the loneliness and
remoteness of the spots chosen Tor
making it, almost inaccessible through
the mountains and boys save to those
who know something about the coun-
try, are all in favor of the smugglers
escaping detection, while its network
of mountain lakes and small running
streams affords the necessary cold wa
ter for condensing the distilled fumes
into spirit during the cooling process.
Dear beyond any parliament whis-
ky"-by which expression he denotes
that sort which has paid the tax impos'
ed by the brutal Saxon government
is this fiery fluid TO the heart OF every
true peasant son of Connaught, ana
daughter, too, for that matter, for the
fair sex. especially if at all up In years.
takes its fair share. And, in the inter-
est of truth. 1t must be added that
those who inhabit the coast counties
from Kerry to Donegal, inclusive, are
also fully alive to its seductive merits.
Indeed, many doctors-local. of course
will tell you that well made poteen
is better in sickness than the adulter-
ated whisky usually met with in the
small public houses in this region OF
poverty, for in the COnnemara country
at any rate the Illicit whisky Is made
of pure malt. though rumor has 1t that
the less particular palate of Donegal,
for instance, is satisfied with a fire
water mainly made from molasses, po-
tatoes aye, sometimes from almost
any other rubbish you please.-Cham'

III. B. SturUevant returned Saturday
evening from several months visit
in the west. While away Mr.. Sturte'
want visited the new mining districts
of Colorado. Wyoming and Utah and
feels very confident of a bright future
for that country. In particular he
mentioned the find recently made by
Messrs. Dear and Lerch formerly

mense body of iron ore known as ''Iron
Mountain" and says the name does
not belle the situation. The proba-
bilities are he will return To the

Monday evening delegation of his
old employees at the Pioneer

dence and presented him as token

tions from among the men at the
mine. Coming as it did, the momento

~ beauty and its intrinsic value is
compared as nothing beside the value
Of the testimonial of the men to their

In 1897 George w. Price r ,,ade bis
homestead entry on the IL nd in oues-
ton, and in September 1898 he died
January Is, 1900, AZ cert Bawden filed
a contest against the property, alleg-
ing that Price had not complied with
the homestead entry laws before his
death, nor had his widow who sue
ceeded him. The contest notices,
however, were not issued on the same
day, and were not delivered to the
contestee until January Is at 2:3O
o'clock. About two hours before the
delivery of the notices of contest,
Mrs. Price appeared at the land Office
and relinauished her claim to the
land, upon which Homestead filing
was Immediately made by Charles H.
Maginnis, under soldiers additional
right. 1t appears that Mrs. Price was
4 pdiu UO1OOU " uCA AiShCo
The local Office allowed Maginnis'
filing subject to the pending contest
brought by Bawden. The issues rails
ed by that contest are what have just
been heard.
| Considerable evidence was offered
On the question at whether Mrs.
Price knew of the Bawden contest
pending when she relinquished her
claim. Subsequent to Mr.. Maginnis'
filing he decided nearly all the land to
Robert Whitesides and the balance
to Mrs. Price. From the evidence it
is learned that there is considerable
timber on the land, but in view of the
fact shat the parties fighting the con-
test have been expended more than
81, 900 to obtain title there is strong
probability that it contains iron.
Bawden makes the claim that he be-
came entitled to a preference right of
entry on the filing of the relinquish-
ment by Mrs. Price. The decision in
the case will be watched with some
interest.

With view of always being first to
give the public the worth of its
money THE NORTH WESTERN
LINE has again passed all previ
Gus efforts in the way of train equip
ment in the new cars for service on
the Duluth, Superior and Chicago
Fast Mail. Cars all wide yestibu!e;!.
gas lighted, steam heated, and fresh
from the Pullman shops.
The combination cafe, observation,
lounging and buffet car seats, IS at
table and % in observation end.
Stained glass windows, mahogany
and quarter-sawed oak and interior
finish with empire dome, olive green
and old gold color scheme makes
this the finest car of the kind in the
country.
Its only rivals are the other cars of
The North Western Line in service
on the North Western Limited.
The club comforts of the men are
counterbalanced by the luxuries and
conveniences provided for the women
in the magnificent dissection drawing
room car. The reclining chair car, is
fitted with chairs that really recline.
The comfortable, bright new day
coach, has first-class section and
smoking compartment.
The equipment of this train stands

In the Upper End.

A telephone message from Wilkes
barre at 2 o'clock verifies the former
reports that no coal is being mined in
the Wyoming valley today. Our repre-
sentative states that only five breakers
in the entire valley are working, and
these are preparing coal mined and
loaded on Saturday. The breakers are
the Hollenbach, South Wilkesbarre;
West End, Mocanaqua, and three
operated by the d. L. & w. Company.
Wilkesbarre's streets are filed with
thousands of idle mine workers, but no
disorder has yet been reported nor is
any looked for. The men are deter
mined to win, and while many rumors
of propositions from coal companies and
operators are in circulation no authentic
statement has yet appeared.
Pttston, Scranton and Carbondale
report the same condition of affairs as
exist In the Wilkesbarre district. All
of the miners are idle, number of the
collieries having shut down Saturday
morning.

The Lower Regions.

Reports from Pottsville say that the
Reading Company is hampered by the
strike great deal more than its officials
expected. The strength of the union at
several of its collieries has resulted in a
big falling off in the number of men who
reported for work. The feeling there
is that the men should be solidly on strlke Q
by Wednesday If the Lehigh region
comes out.
Mahanoy City reports a general sus-
pension of work in that section. Mes
sages received there up to noon from
Columbia and Northumberland counties
report that nearly all the mines in the
Shamokin and Mt. Carmel districts
started this morning, but so per cent
of the men were out of the mines before
10 o'clock
