Lehigh Opens Cutoff.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad has
opened the new cutoff that is to
bring such a marked change in the
west-bound movement of coal from
the anthracite region of Pennsylva-
mia. The cutoff, extending from
East Ashmore on the Mahanoy &
Hazleton Division, to junction with
the main line at Hays Creek, saves
twelve miles in distance and sub
stitutes a downgrade west-bound for
the present descending and ascending
course. One of the principal feat
ures Of the line is the five-span
bridge, 624 feet long and 79 feet
high, over the Lehigh River and
Central Railroad OF New Jersey main
dine. In it are 1000 tons OF steel
and 500 cubic yards OF concrete.
Across the valley on one side OF the
River the line runs upon a "hll"
containing 165, 900 cubic yards of
material. From end to end of the
cutoff the excavation amounted to
775,vO0 cubic yards of which more
than SO per cent was rock.

MOVING PICTURE RIGHTS.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Revolution
of the moving picture business in the
United States may follow a decision
of Justice Stafford, Of the district su-
preme court, to-day, giving a sweep
ing victory to the Motion Picture
Patents company in test litigation
against the Chicago Films company
for infringement OF patent rights
granted to the Thomas A. Edison in
terests.
Millions of dollars are involved in
the litigation and an appeal will be
taken to the court OF appeals for the
district, Justice Stafford granting a
stay OF a week in the perpetual in
junction Issued. In the decree JUS
tice Stafford set forth that Thomas
A. Edison was the ''oroginal, first and
true inventor" of the kinetoscopic
film. The injunction restrains the
defendant company from directly or
indirectly using or selling kinetosco-
pic or motion picture films embody-
ing the Edison invention.
The plaintiff is authorized to re-
cover from the defendant the prof
ii, gains and advantages that have
accrued to it by reason OF the In
fringement."

New Annestnetic Method.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Physicians
and surgeons are awaiting with
keen interest the work, now on the
press, of DR.. James T. Gwathchmey,
anaesthetist of the Skin and Cancer
hospital and OF st. Bartholomew
hospital, and DR.. Charles Basker-
Vile, professor OF chemistry at the
College of the City of New York, who
have discovered a new method for
administering chloroform and ether.
The method has been employed in
5000 cases without a death. 1t is
used by DR.. Davis, of John Hopkins,
Baltimore; DR.. Holmes, OF the New
City hospital, of Cincinnati. and DR..
NJ. p. Benton, OF New York.
The new method is called "vapor
anaesthesia." What the surgeon does
is to apply the yapor OF ether or
chloroform, or a mixture OF both
through warmed water before letting
the patient breathe 1t. Thus, in
stead OF irritating the muscous lining
OF the lungs by coldness, the gases
reach them at blood heat.

FRANCISCO PLEADS GUILTY.

G. l.. Francisco, owner and pub
Usher of the imes-Record, Sayre's<
daily newspaper, accompanied by his
attorneys, Lilley & Wilson, went be-
fore Judge Cameron Friday Just be-
fore o'clock and entered a plea of
guilty, whereupOn sentence was sus-
pended, Mr.. Francisco to pay the
costs.
After hearing the plea of guilty
Judge Cameron, who has well defined
ideas in regard to what newspapers
should and should not print, took oc-
casion to address the men before
him, and his remarks were in the
nature of a lecture which will not
soon be forgotten by those who
heard him.
Mr.. Francisco was charged with
criminal libel by John c. Ingham,
Esq, and Judge Tanning. The COM
plainants were candidates for the
Republican nomination for Judge
and during the campaign before the
September primaries the Times-Rec-
ord printed an article which men
toned Mr. Ingham and Mr.. Tanning
in a way that led to the criminal
prosecutions.
The Grand Jury returned a true
bill in each complaint and the cases
were listed for trial last week, being
continued for a week.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Dec. 27.-With
the hope OF receiving the increase in
salary which the last Legislature al
lowed, George j. Evans, formerly a
clerk in the Office OF Register of
Wills Smith, has brought suit against
Luzerne county. He was appointed
a clerk by the register January /,
1903, and he served until the first
OF September, 1911, when illness
compelled him to retire. While he
was serving as clerk, the Legisla-
ture passed a bill fixing the salary OF
the third assistant, which position
he filled at $500 per year. He new
er received the advance and brings
the action to determine whether or
not he can recover $500, which he
claims is due him.

What a Girl Did With 30 PuIIets.

Miss Eva Storer, of Norridgewock,
Me-, from 80 pullets in a years time
made $140, relates John Taylor, in
the New York Tribune Farmer. Her
plan was her own, and it proved
practical. She had a Plymouth Rock
hen and a White Indian game rooster.
She crossed these, and the eggs from
the hen were set and she got 80 pull
lets, which she raised. These pullets
in September began to lay. The
games alone as pullets prior to this
had not commenced to lay until Jan
uary, and about the same time the
Plymouth Rock pullets would begin
to lay. By the cross she was able to
get extra eggs three months earlier
than formerly. She kept these pull
lets laying through the winter, with
not much let up, and in all they pro-
duced about $500 eggs. Quite a
number of these eggs were sold for
hatcning purposes at so cents per
dozen, and the rest were put into the
incubators to hatch. She was able to
get on the average a hatch of S5 per
cent. When the chicks came out OF
the shells she sold some of them to
cents each. She raised some Of the
pullets and the cockerels she sold in
the fall. At Christmas time she sold
the year-old pullets and commenced
with the new pullets. The feed for
the poultry consisted for the most
part of corn, mashes and green stuff
In the winter she followed out the
same system where it was possible.

Recently the local postoffice receiv-

hardware dealer in Forest City nam
ed Aldrich, who ran a shop in Star
rucca some twenty years before. He
was informed that Mr.. Aldrich is do
ing business here, and a few days
later the latter received letter from
the man inclosing ten dollars. He
said that Mr.. Aldrich had lent him
five dollars twenty-three or four
years ago and the extra five was for
interest. The loan, and the man it
was made to, had entirely passed
from Mr.. Aldrichs mind until he re-
ceived the letter. The borrower, our

bright man, and the inventor of sew
eral devises which have proven of
value, but like many another inven-
tive genius, he failed to reap the re-
