Thursday for sentence. 'What has
become of the woman in the case?"
asked Judge Lynch, who remembered
that she had not been called to trial
1--WE will place her on trial at the next
term" said District Attorney Martin.
"Well, then, we will let this case
stand responded Judge Lynch, 'until
we see what becomes of her case. We
don't want to punish the man and let
the woman escape-make fish of one

Augustus Pitou's new play, 1.-The
Gunner's Mate" was greeted by an
audience that filed the Grand opera
house on Friday evening. The public
responded cheerfully to the local man
agement's efforts to have a good play
well patronized, and the guarantee
given Mr.. Pitou was assured by the
receipts before the doors opened. Au-
gustus Pitou, Jr,, who is business man
ager of the company, was well pleased
with the showing made by the town and
promised to aid in securing other high
class plays for Freeland.
Owing to the smallness OF the stage
quite lot of the scenery could not be
erected. In order to place that which
was shown all the house scenery had to
removed, as well as the grooves and
other appliances used in that part of
the building.
The play gave good satisfaction. 1t
opens tonight in the Grand opera house,

Knights If Malta in Court.

An interesting case to members'of the
order known as the Knights of Malta
and Others who lelong to secret benefi-
cial societies is the suit in equity brought
by the Ancient and Illustrous Order
knights of Malta against the American
and Independent Order knights of Nal
ia, which is now being heard in the
courts of Philadelphia. 1t is the desire
OF the Ancient and Illustrious Order to
have the other ganization, which is of
recent origin, prevented from using the
work and ritual adopted by the parent
body, and with that end in view an in
junction was secured some time ago
restraining the younger Organization in
carrying on it's work.
From the testimony which has been
given by many members of both socie-
ties, including many men high in the
ranks of the older concern and who
have come from different cities to give
their testimony, it appears that there
has been serious split in the order.
What the decision in the case will be
may not be known for several days,
although prominent mbers of the
order are of the opinion that the bulk
of the testimony is in favor of the new
order

Strangled by the Standard.

The Standard Oil Company has,
through its own peculiar system, pur-
chased the interests of the Mineral Oil
Company in Wilkesbarre, Scranton and
other places. The company was owned
by j. c. Bright, of Pottsvile, who has a
number of plants. The price paid in
connection with the Wilkesbarre and
Scranton plants is said to be $1,000
Mr.. Bright has also sold to the Standard
his plants at Pottsvlle, Reading and
HazletOn.
The sale of Mr.. Bright's interests is
forced, as the Standard wouAd have
come into the field as a more aggressive
competitor. Mr. Bright's holdings have
been growing gradually and now COM
mand a good trade, and this makes
them dangerous to the Standard.
A year ago Mr.. Bright was compelled
to sell his plants at Mifflinville, Blooms
burg, Williamsport and Watsontown.

uETrY GREEN'S RICHES.

"Hetty Green's wealth consists largely
of government bonds, railroad stocks and
mortgages" writes Leigh Mitchell
Hodges of 1.-The Richest Woman in
America, " in the Ladies' Home Journal.
She says she is not so fond Of govern
ment bonds since the finances of the
nation have become polluted with politics
Good mortgages of any kind are nov
her favorite forms of investment. II al
the mortgages she holds We're forecloss.t
tomorrow % churches Of various denomi-
nations, in almost as many states, would
become hers, and four cemeteries woult
be ssadded to her real estate. Besides
these there would be blocks of great busi
ness buildings and splendid city .houses
theatres, livery stables, and hotels, coun
try residences, farms and ranches, fac
tory buildings and thousands OF acres Of
valuable land in all parts of the country
Several years ago she made tour of in
spection of all the property on which she
held mortgages. She spent two years
travelling and stayed at 40 hotels in as
many cities. Since then she has added
largely to her holdings of this kind.
The most conservative estimates place
Mrs. Green's wealth at so, 0O0, 900, but IL
Is probably more. She, herself, won't
discuss the matter, except to say that II
Is overs tated."

The taking of the census began yester-
day all over the United States. Some
fifty thousand men will be engaged in
the work, which is not confined to a mere
enumeration of the inhabitants but aims
to gather great many social, vital,
manufacturing and business statistics.
Some of the questions asked will not per-
haps be altogether agreeable to the ques-
toned, but they must be answered. 1t is
the law and the law must be obeyed; else
the delinquent will suffer severe pen
atty. 1t must be borne in mind, however
that the disagreeable questions and their
answers are not for publication, they are
simply data which the census officials will
use as basis for computing general de-
auctions. Any disclosures man makes
about his business or a woman about her
age, will not find their way into the
census tables. Only the enumerator and
the tabulator will know about them, and
they are sworn to secrecy.

The st. Louis street railway troubles
appear to be practically as had - ever.
On Wednesday night four of the employees
of the company who had taken places OF
strikers were shot, two OF them
badly wounded The sheriff Is organic
ing q posse of Z, 500 citizens, who are to
be armed and instructed to keep the
peace. Service on this posse Is regarded
as so perilous that great many citizens
are getting medical certificates of disa-
bility In order to avoid 1t. A citizens
committee Ia trying to bring about a
compromise between the company and
their men. but at last accounts very little
progress had been made in that direction.
The strikers ask that their union shall be
recognized, that all non-union men that
have been taken ON to supply the places OF
the strikers shall he discharged, and their
places given TO the latter, and that future
differences shall be arbitrated. The citi-
zens committee have decided to recon-
mend to the company the acceptance OF
the first and last Of these propositions,
but not the second without some modifi-
cation. But there is little prospect that
the company will accept any of them.
So far as the differences between the conf
pany and the employees are concerned,
they are matters clearly within the right
of the parties to settle. The com pany
cannot he compelled to recognize the
union If 1t does not see fit to, neither can
it be forced TO arbitrate; except by the
pAfh
ties are clearly within their rights under
the law, when one refuses to concede the
demands of the other and the other re-
fuses to return to work unless its de
mands are complied with. Those differ
ences might cause vast Inconvenience to
the public, without the public having
any legal redress. But when one party
undertakes by force to prevent the other
from operating its property, then the ag-
gressor has passed entirely beyond his
moral or legal rights andsbecome vio-
| lator of both the moral and the statute
law 1t is only the truth to say that st
Louis is terrorized today by stri kers and
their allies who are acting entirely out
side the law and in defiance of 1t. 1t
makes no difference what were the merits
of the original controversy which
has brought on this state o.
things; even had the company
acted in the most heartless anc
cruel manner it would be none the les
the duty of the state to suppress the
present outbreak of violence. 1t Is the
public that is being outraged now. II
Is contest now between law and law
lessness, between law abiding citizens
and ruffians, and not between the street
railway company and its employees.
