John Lutz, of West Pittston, con
victed of numbering his wife, is one of
the surliest men ever confined in Jail,
say the keepers. He will speak to no
one and does nothing but eat, sleep and
sit in his cell with constant scowl
upon his face, wearing slouch hat
down over his eyes nearly all the time
He refuses to be interviewed and he is
kept in a padded cell for fear that he
will make an attempt to take his life.
He takes his food without word and
does not even converse with the keepers.
The argument for new trial in his case
will be heard at the present term of argu-
ment court. The main ground of the
application is Juror Koons's holding out
and the statements made.

Mrs. II. Spate was released from the
county Jail this week. She and her
disorderly conduct. 1t is said the wo-
man was innocent of any crime and
when the real facts were brought before
the court she was at once released
and when she arrived there it was found
she was out Of her mind. The thought
of being in prison so prayed on her mind
that she became insane.

lEHIGH VALLEY STRIKE.
Section Men Demand an Increase in Wages
and Quit Their Work.

Fifteen hundred section men and
gravel train employees of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad laid down their tools at
0 o'clock Monday morning, and all labor
in those departments between Mauch
Chunk and Buffalo came to a standstill.
The men quit without any demonstra-
ton and quietly left their accustomed
places of toll to await the result of a
conference between their committee and
General Superintendent Rollin II. VII
bur. They struck for an increase in
wages of 3 cents per hour.
The men have been getting S1.2O for
ten-hour day. Two weeks ago some
of the men went over the line for the
purpose of sounding" their fellows in
regards to making demand for an in
crease to 81. 80 per day. The men were
cordially received everywhere, the
general conclusion being reached that
strike be ordered, if necessary, to
secure the advance in wages.
In accordance with the general
understanding the strike was set for 8
o'clock Monday morning, and promptly
at that hour every man along the line
quit work. The Lehgh coal region
division was not affected by the strike,
as it is mostly foreigu-speaking work
men who are employed here.
Up to the present there is no change
in the situation.

Respo nsible for Congregations Debts.

Judge Craig, of Carbon county, has
decided that Ii. d. Snyder and C. j..
Montz, two of the trustees of the Re-
formed congregation Of Parryvlle, are
individually responsible to the Nathan
Snyder estate, OF Weissport, for debt
of nearly $500 that was contracted by
them as trustees for the congregation
but was never paid. The congregation
was never chartered, and the decision
is based on an act Of the legislature
which makes the individual members of
every unincorporated society, congrega-
tion or association, responsible for any
or all OF the debts of that organization.
A large number of the members and
friends of the congregation have come
to the trustees relief and have con-
tributed large portion of the indebted

Another Treat In StOre.

The appreciation shown for the two
splendid flower pictures given free to
readers OF the Philadelphia SUNDAY
Press this year has led the publishers to
provide third great picture which will
be given free with every copy Of next
Sundays Press June 81. This picture,
which is quite as attractive as the
famous yard of Roses" and Easter
Lilies" pictures, is called "a Basket of
Blossoms" 1t is by the famous Paul
De Longpre, and is one of his best
works. 1t is 90 by % inches in size and
is also noteworthy as being the first
example of new method of color print
ing, which is quite as wonderful as the
picture itself. The publishers guaran-
tee that every picture will be perfect
There is certain to be a great demand d
for next Sundays Press, hence it will
be well for all who want this picture to
order their copy in advance,

BUILDINGS IN DANGER.
Lackawanna Courthouse and Other Struc-
lures May Go Down.

tuFts may pO Down.
Owing to the close proximity OF the
abandoned mine workings OF the Lacka-
wanna Iron and Coal Company in the
central part of Scranton and the crush
ing of props and splntering of pillars
by the erection of heavy buildings, the
commissioners of Lackawanna county
have found it necessary to build up the
coal space in the mines with solid
masonery under the site of the new
$50, 900 soldiers monument on the court
house plot and are asking for bids for
the work.
The Clark vein under the courthouse
square is from eight to twelve feet thick.
The coal from it was mined out. The
coal in all of the veins beneath the Clark
vein-the Clark is nearest the surface
is reserved, and when once this is made
secure all danger will be removed.
The commissioners are also consider
ing the advisability of erecting pillars
under the courthouse, also, as the sur
face is considered very unsafe. All of
the central part of the city is under
mined save few small reservations.
The precautions taken by the commits
sioners now is alarming the owners of
the heavy buildings, and the building up
of the abandoned mines is liable to be-
come general, as the slightest cavern
would destroy an immense amount Of

traced to Seattle. There all trace of
him was lost and despite the efforts of
his relatives to find him he has not been

estate OF $4,000 and he was declared
legally dead so that the daughter can

Porto Rico.

Republican members of the House
of Representatives who should oppose
the Porto Rican bill lately passed by
the Senate would take upon themselves
crushing responsibility.
Enough has already been shown to
prove that on the part of the Demo-
cratic party in Congress the desire to
relieve the people of Porto Rico is
subordinate to the hope of catching
the Republicans in some dilemma Of
legislation. They would rather sink
the Republican party into helplessness
in politics than lift the Porto Ricans
out of their present helplessness in
poverty and industrial stagnation.
If the present bill fails no one can
forsee the speedy passage of another.
And if it should fail disgust at that r,.
suit would be far more intense than
any personal interest in fne-spun
theories as to the greater value or vir-
tue of giving Porto Rico free trade at
once or of giving it, as this bill pro-
vides, 30 soon as she herself says she is
ready for it.
To Repu blicans thinking of casting
votes against the bill the advice o.
American patriotism and fellow feeling
for the citizens Of Porto Rico will be

and 60 about mile and half, when
he would come to the place.
He did 80, and came to clearing,
where he found little farm, a neat log
house, and fl urishing garden, and
the inevitable chicken house. Ten or
twelve little negroes were playing about

work in the garden, dropped his hoe
and came running towards him crying,

NURSERY COOKERY.
GENERAL CARE OF CHILDREN IN
ILLNESS.
CONTINUED from last week.)

BY Christine Terhune Herrick.
Even with the aid of these devices 1t Is
often difficult to give proper nourfsh-
ment to the child who is afflicted with
total want of appetite or with nausea.
Sometimes the mothers heart Is wrung
by the necessity she Is under Of keeping
the child on a certain prescribed diet, and
she must summon up all her strength to
enable herself to resist his pleadings for
food that would be harmful to him. A
recollection comes to me of the pitiful
coaxings Of a child who was suffering
from an attack of nephritis, and whose
recovery depended upon his confinement
to a milk diet. Against this his poor lit
tie stomach revolted and he longed un-
speakably for solid food He was the
most tractable of children, but his crav-
ing could not be silenced.
Just a little crust of bread, Mamma"
he would plead. Just little tiny bit of
a crust Darling Mamma! / will be so
good, so very good. Won't you give your
little boy just a little bit of tiny, tiny
piece of a crust?"
When a mother stands firm under such
circumstances she ought to receive tho
Victoria cross for conspicuous bravery
against overwhelming odds.
1t is not always easy for the parent
to keep her private worries and anxieties
to herself when she is in the sick room
especially when the illness is long con-
tinued. The nervous strain tells on her
after a while. There returns to me very
clearly the case of one woman, usually
a model of calm composure, who became
so irritated one day by constant inter-
ruptions that her temper got the better
| of her self-control. She threw down hel
pen and rose from the desk where she
was preparing a club program, with ar
angry stamp of the foot.
ut does seem more than can bear t
be broken in upon In this way all the
tlme!" she exclaimed.
And tie little sick child she was nurs
ing end who lay in his bed the other sid'
Of the room, hid his head under the GOV
ers and cried his heart out, yet softly
that he might not be any further inter
ruption to his mother.
Such instances may be rare, but NOR,
common are the furrowed brow. TIL

seems to have ceased to shine.
Such disorders as gastric and intes
final disturbances, malarial fevers ant
other comparatively non contagious dis
eases are far less trying to either nurs
or patient than those in which the lat
ter must be isolated. In these a traine
nurse seems to be taken for granted Fl
any serious Illness, but there are still
mothers who will depute to no one els
the care of sick child. They will tel
you frankly that they reserve the nurs
ing for themselves less on the child
account than on their own. Some on
else might quite possibly take as goo
care of the invalid as his mother bu
what would become of her own peace o
mind if her child were in any hands bu
Acrs?
ITO be continued next week.
