IT may be all right TO reorganize
the Democratic party and try some
planks which have not been SO thor
oughly discrediued as others have been
but there is an earnest desire on the
part of the real friends of the party
to do any and all things which may
be needful and not TO commit the
party TO people who have been voting
with the opposition for years. The
kind Of reorganization which they Will
bring does not suit the dyed in the

The suit of Geo. G. Baker against
Ed Herd for possession Of the store

dict Of the jury was that Baker should
have possession Of the room.
Mr.. Herd took an appeal from the

The evidence in the case seemed to
show that Mr. Herds lease expired

was offered more money for the room
than Mr.. Herd was paying, and told
the latter that he could have the re-
fusal OF it for another term, since he
was already in possession. An OPP
tion wasIgiyen, plaintiff says for week
or ten days, and defendenb says for
two weeks, for Mr.. Herd to decide
about taking the rooms. No report
having been made by him at the end
of ten days Baker entered into con-
tract with Nathan We'll. leasing the
room to- him.
Mr.. Herd claims possession OF the
room by virtue Of the option, OF TAX.
ing the room at the advanced rent,
which option he claims was for two
weeks.

BETTER SERVICE.
Peoples Telephone Company
Arranging for it.


Subscribers can soon talk free to Com
nellsyille, UniontoWn ana Browns
Vile Cheaper tolls to Pitlsburg
Local Company Gives Greater Priyi-
Ieges than Guy other.
VIM. e. Glasscock, director in
the Peoples Telephone Company, and
Capel Holland the manager, were at
Uniontown yesterday TO meet direc-
tors of the Tri State Telephone Com
panY Of Fayette County Pa. The OBJ
ject Of the conference was TO make an
exchange agreement with that conl-
pany by which subscribers OF the Peo-
pies Phone here may talk 10 many
more towns in Pennsylvania than can
now be reached.
Judge Umbel, president OF the COM
pany, Mr.. Bird the superintendent,
and two of the directors were seen by
the Morgantown representatives. An
offer was made by them, giving them
more than was asked In return and IL
is very probable that an agreement
will soon be reached, which will en-
able our subscribers to talk free OF
tolls 70 Uniontown, ConneIlsville,
Scottdale, Dawson, Brownsville and
also TO get connection with Pittsburg
at the same rate.that is charged to the
Tri State people. They have no line
to pittsburg, but can connect with
other lines, and have to pay small
toll over those lines for talking to the
city.
The proposition Of our representa-
tives is TO get the same service the
Tri State people use and at no greater
cost To our subscribers than they
have to pay, which will probably be
only the toll from Dawson to Pitts
burg. From there the toll would not
be ~ re than what it is from here.
The representatives. OF the Fayette
County Company considered the mat
ter fayoFably and expect their Conn
panY 70 make the arrangement pro-
posed. There is every reason why
they lould, as the privileges they get
Ia rc51rn are greater than those that
are ASKED by the Morgantown Com
pany.
No other telephone Company In the
county offers as much free service to
the phohe holders as the local COM
pany under its prescott agreements
with other companies. Most of the
companies charge toll for out of town
communications, but il is the policy
of our local company TO give all these
privileges free TO those who rent
phones.
Already local phone holders have
free communication with all the near
BY town, Fairmont, Warrington,
Grafton, Clarksburg, Kingwood, Wes-
ton and many more distant. such as
Parkersburg, Wheeling and others
along the Ohio river and further
south in the state. Considering all
these privileges, the quarterly rental
for the Peoples phone is very reason
able.

Earl a Dead Beat.

The reputation of the Earl OF Var
mouth, VINO has been purchased for
Miss Thaw, Of Pittsburg, is one of
the worst possible to imagine. He is
bum and dead beat of the first wa
ter, and his reputation is well estab-
lished in this country. He has tried
a number of things in which he hoped
to make living on account Of his po-
sition, but he is no good at anything,
and failed to make success until he
went into the fortune hunting bust
ness. Morally he is the limit. Miss
Thaw kncws about him thoroughly,
and to be content to accept aim must
be on about the same plane with him.

The Deceiycrs Tonight.

The bill for to-night's show by the
Manhattan Stock Company is the
three-act society comedy, 90 The De-
ceivers." This piece had very sue
cessful run in MAN. OF the larger cit
les, and was pronounced by leading
critics to be an exceedingly neat and
amusing comedy. The story hinges
on very small and seemingly harm
less joke which grows and grows I'M
Til it assumes such enormous proper
lions as to almost verwhelm its un-
fortunate perpetrator. The piece is
well cast, and the reputation made
by the ManhatUon Company last night
assures US Of good performance.

GLASS COMPANIES CLASH.
Jeanette Glass Company Alleges that
Federated Company Did Not Obey
Court Orders.

Some time ago it will be remember
ed that the Jeanette Glass Company
at Point Marion enjoined the State
Line Gas Company from permitting
tie use of pumps to draw gas from
their lines by the Federated Window
Glass Company. The court issued the
injunction and ordered the Federated
Company to remove the pumps which
they were using.
The Federated people are alleged to
have failed to do this, and to have
kept on using the pumps. The court
issued a rule against them to appear
and show cause why attachment
should not be issued against them for
failing to obey the order of the court.
This is feturnable tomorrow. The
State Line Gas Company is composed
of Morgantown people.
