RIPPER
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Holds
That the Legislatures Powers Are
Snn.anaN 49,

Pennsy1Vanfa supreme COurt hoAus
That the legislatures Powers Are
Supreme.
PHILADELPHIA, May H.-In an ex-
haustive opinion handed down to-day by
Justice Mitchell, the supreme court OF
PENNSYLVANIA sustains the constitution
ality of the famous second-class city rip
per- which completely changes the form
of government in Pittsburg, Allegheny
and Scranton. Justice Mitchell is sus-
tanned in his stand by Justices Fell,
Brown and Potter, but a stormy dissent
ing opinion was filed by Justice Dean and
concurred in by Justice McCullom and
Justice Mestrezat.
The act took out of office the mayor and
other municipal officers and gave the Gov
ernor the right to appoint recorders Tor
the three cities to serve until 1903. Mayor
Moir, OF Scranton, was promptly named
as recorder for his city, at at once began
amicable proceeding in Lackawanna court
to test the constitutionality of the act.
That court decided in facor of the Cover
nor's right to appoint, and it is this decis-
ion that the supreme court has sustained.
Justice Mitchell's opinion holds that mu-
nicipal corporations have no vested rights
in their offices, their cooperative powers,
their charters or their corporate existence.
They are created, governed, and the OK
tent of their powers" he declares, ARE
determined by the Legislature and are
subject to change, repeal or total aboli-
ton, at it's WILL

property is likely to be sold as a whole,
and that purchasers intend laying it
out in lots. This property is very val
liable, and some think it is wanted by
wheeling parties, who expect to move
to this city and build residences here.
This is only a supposition, as others
think it is wanted for a manufacturing
site.
The Independent Hose company will
go to Buffalo, and will have one of the
best organized teams that ever left the
city. The boys will probably enter
three of the races, and will train for
the same. The prizes are not so ar
ranged as to be as attractive as was
expected. and the rules governing the
same have been changed as regarding
the regulation rules. The dates for
the races are August 22d and 23d. lhe
team is not fully satisfied with the
prizes, but will nevertheless enter the
races and try to win all they can. All
the boys need is careful training. and
they will again come home victorious.
The city was full of country people
yesterday, some arriving as early as
six o'clock, to see all of Buffalo Bills
show. All took the rain in a good hui
NOR, and made the best of it. A large
number of people from here attended
the show. In the morning the people
went over to see the parade, and they
learned that there would be no show
lin the evening, and a large number
waited for the afternoon performance.
They came home last evening with a
sufficient amount of Island mud, which
they will always remember, and the
scenes of those who trampled through
the mud will also be always remem-
bered.

The japanese are an essentially gent

ons. Broils in which n man hits an
other are of rare occurrence: blows are
generally the preface OF a death strug-
gle.
The wonlen may often suffer from the
prevailing ideas Of morality, but there

peaceful. A little true p~oliteness on the
part of the foreigner goes a long way,
and almost invariably meets with a
warm recognition.
Our government allowed several
transports with returning volunteers to
stop at Yokohama, and so hundreds Of
American soldiers visited that city and
Toxic. One of them hired a bicycle
and was taking a ride about the
streets of Yokohama when he ran down
an elderly Japanese man.
The soldier rang his bell several
times, but the japanese apparently paid
no attention to it, and the American
found himself promptly arrested and
taken to court, where he was fined 10
''yen" (s5.)
He protested that he had done every
thing possible to avert the accident
and asked why the nan made no at
tempt to get out of the way. The police
man her told him that the man was
blind.
The soldier looked dazed for a min
ute, then felt In his pocket and brought
out a $40 bill. Here" he said, "it's

and he turned it over to the blind
man.
The Japanese were deeply touched
and that same day a delegation of po-
lice hunted up the soldier and gave
him back his fne.-Ainslee's.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial

SYRUP OF FEES, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value OF obtaining the LIQUID laxa-
tive principles of plants known to ba
incidentally laxative and presenting
themi in the form most refreshing to the

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance. and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
OF irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing igs
are used, as they are pleasant to tbs

Freak Clocks.

An ingenious Frenchman named lie
Boullat. who lives at Coutances has
made himself famous for the curious
clocks he manufactures. He can make
clock out of almost any conceivable
material Straw and paper are among
the raw materials he uses. For twen-
ty years he has been manufacturing
freak clocks and most Frenchmen who
want something out OF the common in
that line apply to lie Boullat. A while
ago he turned lot Of newspapers into
pulp, mixed it with hardening sub
stance and carved the clock out of the
compound. Even the wheels and all
the machinery OF the clock were made
of this material Naturally this Curl
GUS clock does not keep very correct
time. but the 'sonder is that it goes
at all. The newspaper clock is one
of Mr. lie Bo,Alat's latest triumphs
Another of his designs appears to be
merely a collecaon of large and small
sticks held tog@ther by wires. 1t is
only upon clos$ inspection that one
sees that it is lock constructed upon
excellent princi les. 1t keeps very
fair time. never varying more than
two minutes in week Now and then
the clockmaker receives commissions
from wealthy Frenchmen for clocks
of unique design in silver or gold, dec
GRATED with precious stones. Some of
these clocks are entirely made of gold.

A LESSON FROM AMERICA.

During the Paris exposition an
American firm obtained permission TO
drive an artesian well in the Bois de
Vincennes near Paris. The city of
Paris has two artesian wells which re-
quired respectively nine and six years
TO be driven. The American well was
sunk to a nearly equal depth, 1886 feet.
last summer in two months The
French were surprised at the rapidity
of the work, as well as by the homeli-
ness and simplicity of the apparatus.
The American company has since Of
fered to donate the well to Paris as
an addition to its water supply, and
some of the French scientific journals
express the hope that the practical
lesson which the new world thus offers
gratuitously will not be without its
fruit

Though, 1t n Sea Serpent.

The inhabitants of Newport Land
ing, Cal. were much excited recently
by the appearance on the shore of
creature which was at first pronounced
to be a sea serpent. There had been
heavy sea for several days along
shore, and when the first beach comb
er went out they saw, floating in the
waves, an extraordinary object. TWEEN
ty or thirty feet in length. 1t was
bobbing up and down, and occasionally
raised a rounded head which seemed
to be covered with hair. The current
was setting rapidly to the south, bear
ing the strange animal. and soon a
number of men and boys were follow
ing 1t. Finally the creature, caught by
a great roller, was sent in upon the
sands, where it was captured and
hauled upon the beach. Here 1t was
paced off and found to be twenty five
feet in length and most remarkable
creature. 1t was as fiat as the blade
OF an oar. of silver hue and looked
more like a gigantic silvery ribbon
than fish. A fin, extending from
head to tail, developed into beautiful
red tufts or fins. on the head. and
these might well convey the idea of
hair. The head was large and rounded
the eye and mouth small. Local sci
entists pronounced the strange animal
sea serpent, and while Newport
Landing has many fishermen and sail
ors, no one could be found who had
ever seen such fish before. This with
good reason, as it was the second
specimen ever seen on the coast. and
by far the largest. The fish was a
r1obon fish, peculiar deep water
form rarely seen. Several specimens
have been taken on the coast of Nor
way. one being found in a net It was
SO large that it required force of
men to lift it out, and presented a re-
markable spectacle as it was borne
along. This fish was not entire, but
was estimated to have been thirty or
forty feet in length, and might readily
have been taken for sea serpent
