tHe claim or the T,ipperites' that the
hill will effect "A great good, or the
counter-claim of the antis that 1t Will
work n great injustice. What we
want. is the Muehlbronner Ibill. To
get it We n.aB. acccde to the ripper
clause. If the ripper clause Is not
right IL can be disposed of entirely
or modified into equitable shape by the
court. II the ripper clause stands,
well. no great harm can possibly come
of it. IT it does not stand. we still
haVo the bill. / say, let us get the
Iill and leave II to court TO take care
of tho ripper clause. Leaving Scran-
toms cXpedienCy out of the question,
I believe I could bring myself without
suy great EFFORT to favor having the
court pass upon the question OF the
justice and dcsirability of the ripper
lther than that It should be decided
10y n less enlightened, less conserNa-
1.-Two and biased legislature"
Already Mayor Moir and Assistant
Solicitor Davis have accomplished
what half a dozen others have failed
iu--the conversion of two Quayltes'
who had privately declared against
tho 'rlpDef ana WllO NSEt eNpSS'~'
every minute to come out In an open
declaration that they would not vote
for tho Muehlbronner bill. They are
the kind of men. too, who will stay
converted. They asked that their
rlcdge be not published, as 1t would
mean no end of annoyance from the
persistent, brow-beating and threat
Cuing Ilinn crowd.
Philadelphians Arrive.
County Commissioner Ryan and
Democratic city Chairman Donnelly,
of philadelp lphia. arrived here on an
early morning train and took a suite
of rooms at the Bolton. Mr.. Ryan and
MIR. Donnely delivered to the Quayites
the votes that were necessary to pass
the Philadelphia court bill. In consid-
Grafton Of this they were allowed TO
dictate the appointment of the minor
ity Judge. There are those here,
among the knowing ones, who make
hold enough to whisper 1t about that
Messrs Ryan and Donnelly Will take
hand In helping along the ripper"
Iut then there are always persons
who are given TO unwarranted specu-
lation.
TX-Democratic state Chairman John
Garman, of Luzerne, is also here and
Is credited with doing a friendly turn
for the ripper" Il. J. Duffy.

The New County Bill.
A new county bill was introduced In
the house today by Mr. Haworth, OF
Luzerne. The bill provides that when
ever any county shall attain a popu-
lation OF 100000 or more, or that has
already reached that population, it
may be divided and new county
erected therefrom upon consent OF u
majority of the qualified electors of the
proposed new county district voting at
an election to be called for such pur-
pose. Mr.. Haworth was the author OF
tho bill creating a county out of por-
tions of the Luzerne and Schuylkill,
with Hazleton as the county seat,
which was negatived by the house
committee on new counties and town
ships.

Stale Bread.

All bakers, wholesale and retail. seek
to produce at their several bakings
through the day only so much as may
be required to supply the wants Of their
trade, but in making sure to provide
enough there is likely to be some left
over to get stale. There is some demand
for stale bread for household uses-for
making toast and for cooking purposes
but the demand is limited. Such stale
bread as may remain unsold in this
manner is never wasted; it is sold 10
farmers and market gardeners, who
drive into the city with produce to sell
and who buy more or less supplies here
to carry back to feed stock. When final
ly disposed of thus, it is sold by the bar
rel at so much barrel, the price be-
ing very low but depending somewhat
on the surplus stock on hand on the day
If sale --Nnw Work. Snn

The Fascination of Gold Hunting.

Once you have seen color" in the
bottom of a pan with the black sand
following it around like faithful serv-
ant, you can never again be deceived
by the false glitter of any other parti-
cles. You would know it if you saw it
between cobblestones in Broadway or
If it were no larger than a pinhead at
the bottom of a trout pool. q.
For the moment the yellow pile makes
you feel like seeking a claim of your
own and harvesting its treasure for
yourself. But when you look at the
miry path along the base of the noun
tain by the creek side and think of fol-
lowing it with pack on your back un-
til it is no more and wilderness be-
gins; think of passing on over the
mountains until you come to what you
consider likely place and thawing
through 80 feet Of earth at the rate Of
foot day in the haphazard possibili-
ty of finding ''pay dirt, you conclude
that the poetry of the thing can be bet
ter appreciated by sitting on some one
else's dump. - Frederick Palmer in
Scribner's

The Brave Bull, the Cruel Spaninrd.
The trumpet sounds again, and the
espada takes his sword and his muleta
and goes out for the last scene. This,
which ought to be, is not always the
real climax. The bull is often by this
time tired. has had enough of the sport,
leaps at the barrier, trying to get out.
He is tired of running after red rags,
and he brushes them aside contemptu-
ously. He can scarcely be got to show
animation enough to be decently killed.
But one bull that saw was splendidly
savage and fought almost to the last,
running about the arena with the sword
between his shoulders, and that great
red line broadening down each side Of
his neck on the black. like deep layer
of red paint. one tricks oneself into
thinking.
He carried two swords in his neck
and still fought. When at last he, too,
got weary he went and knelt down
before the door by which he had enter
ed and would fight no more. But they
went up to him from outside the bar
rier and drew the swords out Of him.
and he got to his feet again and stood
to be killed. Saturday Review.

When the man whose haircut showed
that his wife had peculiar notions as to
the way @ man should dress his hair
quit giving advice, one Of the listeners
said:

good hider in the house, but her talent
in that line stops there Now, she had
the brilliant idea that I should put the
envelope containing my money under
the swaziland Of my hat. Highway
men would never look there and would
never rob man of his hat. After she
had made this suggestion about 40
times 1 accepted it. l went home as
usual on the elevated. had a slight
attack of vertigo in the car, and the

the window. In doing SO he knocked off

Good Friday In England.

Many quaint and some grotesque OBJ
servances of Good Friday have prevail
ed in various localities. In Brighton
the custom of skipping the rope on that
day led to the use Of the term "Long
Rope day" Six or eight adults. with q
long rope. skipped at one time In the
Sussex villages men and boys play mar
bles At St. Bartholomew church.
London. 81 old women appear and be-
fore crowd of curious onlookers bend
their stiffened. aged knees to pick up 81
sixpences.
This latter custom had its origin be-
fore the great fire, when an eccentric
woman left her property to have 81
sixpences laid upon her gravestone in
St. Bartholomew church, which were
annually to be picked up by aged wild
ows.
At the Church of All Hallows tho
youngest boys of the Blue Coat school
are enabled. by the will of Peter Sy-
monds. dated 1887, to divide 60 new
pennies and 60 packets of raisins among
them.
In London and all over England the
eating of "hot cross buns is the special
feature of the day. The original home
of this English custom is said to be in
Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire.
There, wherever the old Roman roads
crossed. stood the altar of Diana of the
Crossways, to whom the Romans offer
ed their sacred cakes.
