operator,
Twenty thousand copies of the laws
are being printed by the Schoen Print

largest editions of a hundred page

thousand copies to be delivered at their

stand their rights under the existing
laws.

TO IMPROVE
COURT ROOM
LAWYERS MAKE PETITION AND
RECOMMENDATIONS.
To Overcome the Acoustic 1mperfec.
tions and Provide More Rooms
They Ask Court to Partition Off
the Main Court Room-Three
More Divorces Granted Lacka-
wanna Iron and Steel Company
Wants Its Assessments Reduced.
Dunmore Sewer View Confirmed.

| 1t Is proposed to divide the main
court room into two or three apart
ments to improve it's acoustics and
provide more office ROOM
one plan suggested is to partition off
| two twenty-two-foot rooms In the rear
corners and another is to divide the
| big room into epual-sized rooms.
The matter of improving the acous-
tics properties has been under consid-
| GRAFTON for a long time: in fact ever
| since the court house was remodelled.
The necessity for more room came
with the appointment or county con-
troller and the expectation of the ap-
pointment of an orphans court Judge.
The lawyers, too, have been complains
ing of the mean dingy little consulta :
tion room, now provided for them, and
have had in mind for some time the
securing of more commodious quar-
terS.
The lawyers appointed Ira II. Burns,
James II. Torrey and Major Everett
Warren a committee to deal with the
matter, and on Saturday this COM
mittec presented to court a petition
from the bar for the desired improve
ments, together with their ideas OF
how the improvements should be
made
In the northwest corner of the room
they would have an apartment par
toned off as a lawyers consultation
room, and have it connected with the
main and Superior court rooms. In
the northeast corner they suggest the
construction of Il similar apartment, to
be used as room for arbitrations and
q ,tit
will greatly improve the acoustics and
possibly make them perfect
President Judge Edwards stated to
the committee that the court has been
for some time considering the sug-
gested improvements and had in mind
the division of the main court room
into two rooms by a partition extend
ing through it's center, north and
south, and the utilization of court
room No. . as lawyers consultation
room.
1t was decided to have County Sur
veyor Stevenson make plans embody.
ing whichever idea the judges favor.
1t is likely the improvements will be
made during this summer. That they
should be made, and made at once, #
only for the betterment of the acoustic
properties of the main court room,
will be agreed on by everyone who has
tried to hear or be heard there. 1t
is an actual and well-known fact that
even in murder trials not little of
the evidence escapes the men in the
jury box because of the abomna BILE
acoustics. Not infrequently jurors
halt the proceedings to complain that
they do not hear the witness answer,
and the court must needs have the
stenographer repeat the testimony
from his notes.

Keepers at Connell Park.

William Lawlor. alias Fitzgerald,

learned from some Of the other pris-
oners that Lawlor edged away when
Phillips back was turned and bolted
across the park toward the north
easterly corner. His escape was not
noticed for about ten minutes. and
then when a keeper followed him no
trace of his whereabouts could be
discovered.
Lawlor was committed n few days
ago for six months by Magistrate Ml.
lar, on the charge of vagrancy. He
served two months early in the year

DIR. sP1EKER's SERMON.
He Filled His Sons Pulpit in Holy
Trinity Church.

Rev. DR.. George Frederick Speker,
OF the Lutheran Theological seminary,
of Mount AIRY, near Philadelphia, oc-
cupied the pulpit of the Holy Trinity
Lutheran church, of which his son.
Rev. c. q. Spickcr, is pastor, at yes
terday's services. Last night he gave
a very interesting sermon, choosing
his text from st. John iii. 10. Art
thou master i'm Israel and knowest not
these things?"
The general theme of his address
was that spiritual Knowledge does not
depend upon intellectual requirements s
nut is rather matter of the spirit
OF grace. This applies strongly to the
case of Nicodemus, subject of the
text lie was a man learned in the
wisdom of the world and high in
earthly power, yet he had not learned
the lesson to look to the Savior, to
open his eyes and cause him to under
stand the great truth
1t is above mere intellectual ability.
but requires a personal intercourse
with the Lord. DR.. Spicker also dis
coursed of regeneration. and referred
to the relations existing between mira
cles and mysteries. "Of our own ex-
pericnces, we often ask how can
these things be, " declared the speak
er, and are mystitied at the WONDER
ful DEVELOPMENTS in natural scienc,s.
In his opinion. man makes n great
mistake in puzzling over and in vain
attempting to solve the intricacies of
the great natural powers, instead of
rejecting that they are controlled by
"the power behind the throne" and are
fnr 10 mir nf ~
to solve.
"The mystery of the Holy Trinity
itself is a wonderful one said DR..
Spieker. "Greater mystery is there
noe. save when we reflect of that
mystery which took place when a
member of the Trinity came to earth
as a child, when we see Him reared
as other children and gaze at the
terrible sufferings he endured And
these two mysteries go ever hand in
hand
"A man must he born again. must
go into a true relation with God in
order that he may lead a holy life,
that he may truly be in earnest in
his struggle in life. And how can
man be born again? Only in Gods
own way. He lifts sinful man up. out
of the slough of sin, and gives him .
new start. to such a life that one
could almost say that if attained. he
would he envied by the angels in all
their bliss, free from temptation and
care"
He concluded his address by uttering
n fervent prayer that the Lord would
make of his auditors "such masters
in Israel"
