FOR HOME
COMPANY

Attorneys who have examined
the contracts made by the Home
Telephone company with local mer-
chants and business men say that
the contracts are not any more
binding than the contract made by
Mr.. Sumner with the local unions
and ignored by him. In fact, the
Home contracts are not as binding
as the contract made by Mr.. Sum-
ner with local unions, as he volun-
tarially pledged himself to hire
union men in consideration of ia
vors already received.
The Home company is not doing
as much work now as they were
some time ago. 1t had at one time
nine men working, but at last &C.
counts was only working four or
five. The action of the city coun-
Gil in refusing to investigate as to
whether or not the company is
complying with the terms Of it's
franchise has seemingly given Mr..
Sumner and his company con-
fidence that no further action will
be taken towards compelling OBJ
servance of the franchise.

DECLARES WAR
ON TH|STLES

Street Foreman Tillish will soon
start a campaign against the Rus
sian thistle that during the past
two years has spread over the
city, particularly that portion
around Ash street and Eleventh
avenue.
Ex-Commissioner Handley sound
ed the first alarm. He first no
ticed one lone thistle in that Sec
ton of the city two years ago.
Soon after he noticed more or
them, and on account of their dry
ing up and tumbling he, with
others. thought they were mere
tumbllng weeds. He is now con-
WINGED they are Russian thisles,
as he knows of cases where peo-
pie have been stung with the stick
ers and poisoned.
There is one place near Sixth av-
enue and Ash street where these
thistles have grown clear over the
sidewalk. 1t Is Mr.. Handley's opin-
ion that these thisles were first
brought to the city in baled hay
shipped In from infested sections.
He says that if the thistles are
cut down when young and green
the spread will be stopped.

Genet street, South Scranton, per-
mitted himself to become involved
in an argument at a Polish wedding

of his scalp. his face and hands.
He was taken to the state hospital,

GOOD LAW FOR
EVERY STATE

DANVILLE. ILL.,, Sept. 15.-The
man who eats in restaurants need
no longer suffer from the horror Of
sitting down at table bearing an
unclean cloth and unpleasant re-
minders of the breakfast of the
previous guest.

pared by the state board of health
and sent out over Illinois making
it a misdemeanor for any public
eating house proprietor to allow
dirty linen, dishes or cutlery to be
on his tables. The ordinance also
provides that the employees of the
restaurants shall dress clearly and
neatly.
A fine of from 81 to $50 is to be

BROWN IN TROUBLE

The case against Frank Brown,
charged with stealing a $40 watch
from Carter Kelly, a logger, at the
New York bar, wasn't very clear to
Justice Hinkle this morning, so he
discharged Brown, but gave orders
that the prosecution should file a
complaint for vagrancy.
On the witness stand Brown be-
came tangled and said he had
touched" the watch to see what
time it was, but that he hadn't
taken 1t out of Kelly's pocket.
Brown made a few slips, which led
the court to believe him a profess
sional vagrant.

QUAKERS GETTING
TOO GAY

RICHMOND. Sept. 15.-At the
Indiana meeting of the Hicksite
,Friends a serious discussion was
had regarding the tendency to dis
card the distinguishing features Of
the Quakers in speech and dress.
Attention was called to the fact
that the use of thee" and chou"
was much less frequent than in
the past, and great regret was eX-
pressed at the evident divergence
of the church fom the original con-
ceptions of the founders.
1t was also declared that men,
bers of the sect should not use
the ordinary names in designating
the days of the week, as the names
in common use were taken from
pagan gods. but should say first
day" second day." and so on. The
younger generation was censured
for fastidiousness In dress, and
youthful Quakers are urged to
cling to the simple garb of days
gone by.

LABOR
TURNED DOWN

of King county, turning down
William Blackman, formerly state

Jan. 20, 1906.

Jan. 20, 1905.
The Senate Committee which
is looking into the Panama
Canal affairs has gotten it,
self into bad tangle at the very
outset of its labOrs. 1t has a re
calcitrant witness OIL its hands in
the person of Mr.. POultney Big
Glow, d magazine writer of some
reputation. Mr.. Bigelow was a
college class mate of Emperor
William of Germany, aud a close
friend of President Roosevelt be-
side Icing traveller, "a good all
around sportsman and a writer
of International reputation. Mr..
BigelOw, it will be remembered
some time ago wrote a magazine
article saying a number of un-
pleasant things about the Pana-
ma situation. He was singled
out by Secretary Taft as the one
writer among great many who
had been saying unpleasant
things about the canal, for a
spirited reply. The Secretary al
legged that Mr.. Bigelow had only
been on the isthmus % hours and
knew nothing of what he was
writing about. However, that is
more or less beside the mark.
POultney BigelOw's article was
no more or less severe than a good
many others had been but he was
an author of some reputation and
therefore good man to make an
example of. The Senate Com
mittee undertook to cross Ques.
ton him as to his sources of in
formation, and why he should
dare to write anything against
the canal. Now, being a friend
of the President, it is not likely
that Mr.. BigelOw was actuated
by any personal malice in the
things he wrote. And it has been
proven a great many times that
newspaper and magazine writer,
are not given to betraying their
sources of information under com.
pulsion. The Senate has been ~
against this sort of recalcitrancC
at least once in the past few
years in the case of the Suga

To Use the Dip Net and in

Law.

a numerOusly signed petition
will be sent to the Legislature in
favor of the present fish law for
this county, which now fOrbids
any kind of fishing in our waters
from the fifteenth of April until
the first of June. A petition has
been sent to Annapolis seeking
to have law passed against the
dip net. Many of the old fish
ermen are opposed to this bill.
Whilst they admit that SEEMING
and stir nets should be excluded,
they see no harm in the dip net
as it does not destroy the fish
beds or the young fish. The
signers to the present petition
want the old law to remain and to
be enforced. This law allows the
dip net.
