Mr. Blaino represents one side and

Quay and handed tho application to
the Postmaster General with tho ex
pectation that the appointment would
be immediately made. This was somo
weeks ago, and tho Pennsylvanians

Judge Yerkes' Decision.
;iE SATS CON8TAIir.ES ELECTED LAST 1T.I1
RCAnV IIOLU OFFICE FOR THREE
YEARS.
Doylestown, Jan. 27. Judge Yr
kes this morning decided the question
whether the constables shall servo one
or three years, po far as Bucks County
is concerned, by an opinion handed
down in whtob ho holds that the tram
ers of the Act of February 14. 1889.
intended that tho law should go into
effect immediately and that the otlioers
elected last February were elected sub
jeot to said act.
After citing many ref-rences in sup.
port of his opinion, Judge Yerkes
says :
"From the ciroumstauoe that tho
statute names the third Tuoidiy, the
established day for hoMing the elec
tion, it is a fair presumption that the
main thought in the Legislative mind.
as to the timo when tho enactment
should operate, was the next eleotion
at which constables oould bo voted for
to-wit : the next third Tuesday in Feb
ruary. "From a hasty examination of the
laws we couclude that tho constables
Were not required to give notice ot tho
terms of ollieo of the' persons to bo

turned to know the law, as contained
in a statute, from tho moment of its
approval, the presumption is that the
voters, when thoy votod, knew tho
law to bo that the constables theu
elected would servo for throe years.
Therefore notice of the change of t-rm
was unnecessary.

Our season for selling winter
goods is getting short. We
must carry over stock or "extra

'lecitlj by a timely sacrifice to
convi-rt goods into cash, by
giving this unusual discount :
, Ttj:nty per cent, off from
regnLtr marked trices, which
gives the buyer goods at net
cost.
During thirty-three years of
business it is our proud record
to have won a reputation for
avoiding an misrepresentations
and keeping all our promises,
( and this is not one low bait
' price to catch average profits,
but is a well-defined h

This 20 per cent, discount
includes our entire stock of
