There are probably a great many peo ple in this city who are eating' oleo margarine, under tho hallucination that it Is good creamery butter.

The oleo is shipped with the proper revenue stamp nfllxed, possibly In no very conspicu ous spot to merchants here who under stand that they are to talce the con tents out of this sealed package, which will be found to contain prints marked "creamery butter." This they sell as hutter, and for butter prices, and the consumer doesn't know that it is not butter. The agent who operates In this region lias about thirty customers among the dealers here. Tho bes,t grade of oleo costs eighteen cents."; Tiie,, "creamery butter," under whichguise- it is, sold In this city, brings twenty-eight cents, This la u profit which would be considered a bonanza by tho farmer, A very good grade of oleo may bu bought for ten cents, wholesale. i;PBEEDMAN-OKELL CASE.

After making this announce ment, Mr. Nichols said: "I believe tho mine operators held a meeting previous to our visit and fully determined upon a refusal to hold a conference, such as wo hoped would bo a safeguard against Impending trou bles, which must come if no sensible Intercourse can be arranged between the United Mine Workers and their em ployers. "All of them refused point blank to ngree to any conference such as wo proposed, and after a weelc's effort tho committee left, considering our task a hopeless one. The operators evidently held a meeting before our arrival and were prepared to remain firm In their refusal to confer with the miners, some time in March, as wo suggested. "By most of them wo were received graciously. President Truesdale, of tho Lackawanna, was even cordial and chatted with us sociably for some mo ments.

Wllkes-Barro Attorney Whoso Li brary and Household Goods Wero Damaged by Plro Brings Suit to Recover tho Pull Amount of tho Policies, Alleging That His Losses Exceeded That Amount Gave De tailed Statement of His Belongings with tho Aid of an Inventory. Tho trial of the cases ot P. M. Thorn ton, of Wllkes-Baire, against the Se curity Insurance company, of New Haven, and the same plalntlffVagalnst Hie National Assurance Surety of Ire land, was begun yesterday In United States circuit court before Judge Arch bald. The opening for the plaintiff was made by Mr. McGahren. Mr. Thorn ton, ho explained, has been a member of the bar for nine years. When ho was married live years ago he went to live with his wife's mother on North Main street, Wllkes-Barrc. They oc cupied the upper Hats of a, three story brick building. Ten of tho eighteen rooms wero furnished by the Thorn tons, five for their own use and four for rental to lodgers. Mr. Thornton took a great pride In tho possession of a library and had a very valuable col lection of books. In tho early part of last ycnr.Mr. Thornton decided to move to Kingston and rented a house on Maple street. Before moving ho had his furniture and library Insured In the two defend ant companies through the Hoban agency. Tho total amount of Insur ance was $0,000, of which amount $2,500 was on tho library and $3,500 on tho household goods. Half of each amount was placed with each company. DATE OF POLICIES. The policies were dated as of noon April 2, 1001, the day on which Mr. Thornton was to take possession of his Kingston home. Ho moved his goods on this day, the moving occupying from 7 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock at night. Shortly after 0 o'clock, the Kingston house was locked and Mr. and Mrs. Thornton returned to Wllkes Barre to spend the night In his mother-in-law's apartments. Some time after midnight Mr. Thornton was aroused by a messenger with the infor mation that the Kingston house had taken fire and that his belongings had been partially consumed. On reaching Kingston, ho found that much of his property had been destroyed and what had not been destroyed for the most part. had bqen badly damaged by lire, smoke and water from the fire com panies' hose and rain which fell on the goods that had been carried out. In due course of time he submitted proofs of his lobses to tho companies, which he claimed amounted to more than tho full amount of the policies. The com panies failed to pay the policies with in the prescribed sixty days and ho instituted the suits'. The policies and proofs of the losses were submitted- in evidence by Judge Wlllard and then Mr. Thornton was called to the stand, and was still under direct cross-examination at adjourning time, 5 o'clock. MADE AN INVENTORY. March 21 and 25 or about a week be fore moving, Mr. Thornton with the assistance of his wife made an inven tory of all their belongings. This in ventory escaped the lire, and was found in a bureau drawer two months after wards, when tho insurance companies turned over to Mr. Thornton what was saved from tho fire. From this inven tory Mr. Thornton gave a detailed' statement of every book and article he owned and 'afterwards told that the fire caused practically a total loss. Tho question as to what the salvage was worth was being discussed at the time court adjourned. According to Mr. Thornton's inven tory his library contained more than 1,200 volumes valued at $2,984.25. His household goods figured up to $4,065.75. Court will convene at 9:30 this morn ing and at noon time adjournment wll Ibe made until Monday.

Both of these persons are still very sick and it may be two weeks before1 the quarantine can bo raised from their houses with safety. All danger of a further spread of the disease Is now believed to be at an end. D BOWLING. I 4 Decidedly the best game rolled so far this series by any of tho clubs In the Northeastern Pennsylvania league were those rolled on Monday night between tho Backus and Green Ridge Wheel men's teams. The total number of pins made by both teams was 5,111 which Is a grand total that Is rolled by very few teams outside of the big ones In New York. Fred Dlelrlck, of New York, the bow ler so well known In this city, still maintains his leadership In the New York Sun Individual contest, his aver age of 201U for eight games being still unsurpassed. John Voorhels, who by virtue of his splendid bowling for years past, has come to be? recognized as the best bowler In tho United States, rolled In the contest last week and managed to make an average of 194 for six games rolled with Arps and Buck, respective ly. City Assessor Philip Rinsland prides himself on being a pretty tolerable bowler and he got Into an argument the other night with Billy Hopkins, of the Backus team, as to his ability. Hop kins offered to bet $10 that he could make 200 more pins In five games than the assessor and the latter promtly took him up, laboring under the belief that he was up ngaliiht a "lead pipe cinch" for 200 jlins In five games is a mighty big handicap to give a man. Rinsland started out gallantly but he became nervous after the first game and "fell down" terribly. Hopkins won out by 274 pins and if you want to get "Phil" real mad these days just say you heard hu'd made nine straight strikes on the Backus alleys. It will be some time before the alleys of the West End Wheelmen at Wilkes Barre will be In proper shape for bowl ing. They were covered with four feet of water during the recent flood and it Is understood that the alleys will have to be thoroughly gone over. There Is a possibility that the postponed games may be rolled in this city. 4 The Chicago Record-Herald Is collect ing a list of those bowlers who have made a 300 score within recent years and claimants are coming In from all parts of tho country. A 300 score Is tho highest that can possibly be made by one man at bowling and it takes twelve straight strikes to make It. As far as local bowling records go It has never, been made In this city, the nearest ap proach to it being a score of 278, rolled up on the Backus alleys sometime ugo by a man from out of town. John Taylor's score of 252 made dulng the first series of the Northeastern lengue Is still the local high score for match games, It begins to look as If Charlie Moore of the Backus team will be high aver age man of the second series. He has hold the place at the head of the list ever since the season opened and If he keeps up his present gait he can't be reached by anyone before the series ends. He made a grand total of GIG last Monday night, against the Green Ridge Wheelmen. a The Backus team has more plus to Its credit so far this season than any other team but Is not in first place. A peculiar hoodoo seems to follow this team In this respect, At the end of the first series it had the highest number of plus but It finished In third place. 44 The games to be playe'd on Monday night are as follows; Backus versus Green Ridge Wheelmen, on the for mer's alleys, and Elks versus Scranton Bicycle club on the former's alleys. The postponed game between the last two teams will probably be rolled next Tuesday or Wednesday night.

LANSING ON BEFOBMATION OF' OBIMINALS. In a. Sermon Preached Last Night Ho Declared That the Modern Prison System Is Old and Antiquated and Thnt There Is Need of a Complete Reform in Present Day Methods if tho Number of Criminals Is to Be Beduced Discussed the Causes Which Produce Criminals, "Church Federation and Civic Right eousness," was the topic of a sermon delivered last night In the now' Grace Evangelical Lutheran church by Rev. Dr. iBiiao J, Lansing, pastor of tho Green Ridge' Presbyterian church, who spoke In it broad and romurehcnslvo manner on the great question of the reformation ot the -criminal clement. In society, thnt society Itself may be saved from ultimate destruction; Dr. Lansing, In beginning his re mni'ks, stated tho practical fact that what is most wanted of every citizen In every community Is right conduct and that all Christian churches, no matter what their doctrine or dogma, are agreed upon those things that are right and those things that are wrong. He declared that a community, too, has a moral existence, just as the Indi vidual, and may be moral or immoral. The distribution of taxes and the man ner of their collection must be moral or Immoral, as well ns the administra tion of police departments, jails, hos pitals, etc. "All coincide," said he, "that man should live a right life and society, as Gladstone said, must make it easy for man to live such a life. If a man Is expected to live morally, ho has a right to demand that those about him also live morally, so that he can. Society Is largely responsible for what Individuals are. The large majority ot us are as good as the nverage, and no better. The thing for us to do is to raise the aver ago. MEN WHO TAKE BRIBES. "In enlarging upon this subject, I might refer to councilmen who sell their votes for tho passage of gas or other franchises, at tho rate of $300 to $500 apiece, or I might draw illustra tions from the connivance of the police of some cities with crime and tho notorious infamy of many public ofll clals. I choose, rather, to consider the essentially criminal population which peoples our jails and which represents the extreme of civic unrighteousness. "The criminals of this country num ber two per cent, of the entire popu lation, but only one In ton of them are convicts. The majority of them aro young men and young women between the ages of 10 and 26. There are twenty times more men than women, and this fact may be directly traced to the other fact that twice as many women as men are regular attendants of tho chuic-lies of this country. "These young men and women cost the people of this country $600,000,000 a year to take care of. The publlo schools of this country cost us less than $200, 000,000 a year, and all education but $300,000,000. All the churches cost far less than $300,000,000 to support and maintain. Isn't this comparison start line? "It has been stated that $180,000,000 of this $600,000,000 could be saved every year In this country it we gave proper attention to the reformation of crimi nals. We are doing almost nothing to stop their manufacture, jeur by your. Wo dread, fear and avoid criminals, and they keep going on In their crime without our attention. Their number is rapidly increasing, according to statis tics, and Increasing in proportion to the relative population. What aro we doing to stop this increase? Practic ally nothing. We pent them to prison and they come out worse than before, only to be sent back once more. It can be proven by figures that where an In telligent, rational and scientific etfort has been made to reform criminals, plghly-flve out of every hundred have been cured of their criminal habits and sent out to live decent, respectable lives. CAUSE OF CRIMINALITY. "What Is the cause of the criminality of this two per cent, of our population? Some say, 'Oh, they're worse than other people,' and let it go at that. They aio not worse than other people by nature. I've got over bragging about how good I am, because vl know that nine-tenths of our Christian people would be cilml nals themselves If they were brought up among the surroundings of the criminals of this and every land and faced the conditions they have faced. "One reason for the criminality of a certain number of our population Is that they were born of criminal par- New Open Today Ladies' Tailor Suits Silks and Dress Goods Dress Trimmings and Laces White and Wash Goods Hosiery and Underwear 3 a US Customers will find X Goods of the best quality.

Eighty per cent, of the convicts of France are Illegitimate offspring, and seventy per cent, of tho criminals ot this country either don't know their parents or wero born of parents who were divorced. "Another reason Is tho evil education which the young malefactor receives by being cast Into prison with older of fenders. Wo have a fashion of doing that here In this city and state, and it's a burning shame that it cannot be stopped. "Another reason is the management of our prisons, which is placed in tho hands of worn-out, low-down hacks ot politicians, whose only qualification is a political pull. These Institutions should bo managed by men who have made criminology a study nnd who would be able to make a practical ap plication of their knowledge. "Then there Is tho system Itself. It Is old and miserable and has not ad vanced one stop beyond what It was a hundred years ago, except in a few scattered instances. Instead of turn ing out reformed men and women It turns them out, as a general rule, worse than uhen they entered. If a physician were treating us for a dis ease and If, Instead ot curing us. his treatment made us worse and caused a spread of the disorder among our household, we'd tell him to get out In short order. And yet, crime is being multiplied every year and only a few have aught to say about the wrong methods In force for the cure of crime. THE LIQUOR EVIL. "Then there is liquor, which, ac cording to the lowest possible estimate, has caused fifty per cent, of the crimi nals to commit crimes. Who Is re sponsible for the selling of this strong drink? You and J.' Who pernjItH If? j All or us. It is, figuratively said that because of the great cost ot maintain ing the German army every German citizen carries a soldier on his back. It can be said, with equal truth, that every honest and industrious American citizen carries a druimon man on his back. "I wish we could all feci our Indi vidual responsibility In this matter. God Isn't going to send all the people who go to Jail to hell, but He is going to send to hell a good many of tho people who helped send them to jail. "The, problem ot tho reformation ot criminals is a vast one. It's too big to be solved by a few people going Into a jail, saying a few prayers, singing some hymns and distributing (lowers. That's all very well in Its own way, but its appreciable effect Is not great. I should like to state briefly a few things that will bring about great re sults and that a federation of churches can bring about." The first thing that Dr. Lansing ad vised was the separation and isolation of the known criminal men and the known criminal women, so that they could never have children. He offered no suggestion as to a method for tho accomplishment of this. He advised the Incorporation of more religion and moral training Into the education of children in the public schools, and the establishment of a prison system which would have for Its basis the reclaiming of the men and women convicted of crimes and which would keep them confined until they gave proof of their reformation.
