GOES TO SUPREME COURT.
An appeal to the Supreme Court
has been taken by the plaintiffs in
the case of John W. Goldsworthy and
Peter Lenahan, poor directors of the
CDnyngham and Centralia Toor Dis
trict vs. U. J. Doyle, poor director ;
Frank Brennan, steward, and C. G.
Murphy.
This is a bill in equity filed by
Goldsworthy and Lenahan, asking for
an injunction to restrain Doyle from
acting with Patrick J. Cain as poor
director, to restrain Murphy from col
lecting taxes, for the district and to
restrain Brehnan, steward, from recog
nizing Doyle and Cain as a board of
poor directors. The case was certi
fied to Judge Metzger of William
sport, by Judge Ikeler, and a con
siderable amount of testimony has
been taken. The allegations are that
at the February election in 1895,
Peter Lenahan and Patrick J. Cain
were candidates for poor directors in
Conyngham township ; that Peter
Lenahan was elected, and received a
certificate of election from three
judges of the five districts in the
township i that the board of directors
organized in April 1895 with Golds
worthy and Doyle present, the two
directors holding over, and that
Patrick J. Cain appeared with a certi
ficate of election, also signed by three
Judges of the five districts ; the name
of U nliam Goodman appearing on
both certificates ; that William Good
man alleged that he signed Cain's
certificate by reason of duress and
fear of bodily harm. Goldsworthy
refused to recognize Cain's certificate,
and Doyle refused to recognize' Lena
han's, and Doyle withdrew from the
meeting. Goldsworthy and Lenahan
then proceeded to organize a board
and elect officers, and Doyle and
Cain organized another one. Andrew
Lenahan was elected treasurer and
tax collector of the former, and C. G.
Murphy of the latter board. Brehnan,
who was elected steward by both
boards, is in possession of the Boor
House property, and refuses to rec
ognize the Goldsworthy board. Both
boards are issuing orders,
Judge Metzger filed an opinion dis
solving the injunction and dismissing
the bill, on the ground that in this
proceeding the court had no jurisdic
tion to decide which was the legally
elected director, and from this de
cision the appeal is taken. Messrs.
Wilhelm of Pottsville, and Barkley
and Wintersteen represent the ap
pellants, and Messrs. Freeze and
Scarlet the appellees. The case will
be argued in Philadelphia, the third
week in April.

The Feline Pet of the Onlted State Cratoer
' Jorktown.
Col. John A. Cockerill, the New York
llernld's uneclnl correspondent, writ-
injr from Chemulpo, Corea, seiuls an Jn-
tcreBtinjr etory about the sports of tho
nnvnl officers who happen to be at
tached to the Asiatic squtulron In
Corenn waters, and nlno of the ninacot
of the York town. "Charley." Col.Cock
ercll writes:
1 found the United States steniner
Yerktown hero rldlnjr at anchor a mile
nnd a hnlf out in the hnrbor, and by in
vitation I visited her this afternoon.
She arrived on this Btntion ten days nfro,
and Commnneler Folper nnd nil his
oflleers declare thnt dull ns Chemulpo
Is they prefer IttoCheefoo, China, their
Into billet. The Oetolrr weather here
is Ruperb, and the oflleers of the York
town find the shootiiifr excellent. Hy
poiiip up the river In a snnipun a few
miles they can make a nice bap of snipe,
peese nnd edible birds In a few hours,
(ionic of all kinds is abundant, and fur
ther up the country phcannnts of the
most delicious flavor are plentiful. The
Yorktown, despite her steady years of
service, is in excellent trim, and offic
ers and crew are proud of her.
While on board the Yorktown I wns
presented to the feline mn-spot, "Char
ley," the nioHt famous of eats. "Char
ley" joined the Yorktown in 1889. lie
has traveled something like 150,000
miles In her, and is the oldest meniber
of the crew, with the exception of one
seaman, Martin Folej-. Oflleers and
sailors come and po, court-martialB are
held, desertions take plnce and penal
ties are inflicted, but "Charley" re
mains the pet of the ship nnd the most
exolU'd ent, marine or otherwise, on the
plobe. The hundreds of scattered pco
ulewho have served on the Yorktown
will be delifrhted to learn that "Char
ley" is still "on deck," so to speak. He
has lost his hearing on account of the
heavy firing in target practice, but he
is still amiable nnd lovable.
They tell a funny story about this
famous cat. When the Yorktown was
on llchring sea duty she moored one
day at a dock on the opposite side of
which an Knglish gunboat lay. As
was his wont "Charley" walked out
on the dock to tako a view of tilings.
CHARI.ET THE MASCOT.
Some English sailors, observing his
swagger, remarked that "Ginger"
rfiould be brought out and introduced.
One of them went on board the Eng
lish gunboat and brought out "Gin
ger," a lusty cut of lofty British preten
tions and aristocratic mien. The two
cats met on the dock and touched noses
in a disdainful way, when, all of a sud
den, "Charley" let fly his right paw,
striking the Briton on the jaw and
knocking him overboard. This act
performed he strutted back to his ship
as if to suy: "Did you Bee me do Mm?"
His performance was cheered by the
Yorktown jackies and that cat's stock
rose 50 per cent, then and there. The
picture of the Yorktown's pet which ac
companies this is in tho possession of
nearly every officer Rnd sailor on the
ship. Scores of them have been sent
home nnd thousands of people in the
United States know about the York
town's feline muscot. All such will be
pleased to know that "Charley" is fat
and hearty, despite his weight of years,
and the most beloved cat afloat.
THEIR OWN SURGEONS.
How Animals Doctor Themselvrs When
Hick or Wounded.
Animals, when wild, constantly die
a lingering death from injury to the
skin, whether cauRed, as usually hap
tK'ns in, tropical countries, by wounds
aggravated by insects or by cutaneous
disease. Hence the pains which they
take in making their toilet, and in the
use and selection of "cosmetics."
Among birds, the salt-water species
often seek fresh wuter to wash in; dif
ferent lund birds choose different
earths in which to dust, and also wash
in water, nnd nearly every tropical ani
mal, including the tiger, buthes either
in water or mud.
Perhaps the best known mud-bathers
are the wild boar, the water buffalo and
the elephant. The latter has an inex
pensive advantage over all other ani
mals in the use' of its trunk for dress
ing wounds. It is at once a syringe, a
powdering puff and a hand.
Water, mud and dust are the main
"appliances" used, though it sometimes
covers a sun-scorched bock with grass
or leaves.
"Wounded elephants," writes Sir
Samuel Baker, "huve a marvelous power
of recovery. When in their wild state,
although they have no gifts of surgical
knowledge, their simple Bysteri is con
'fined to plastering their wounds with
mud, or blowing dust upon the surface,
Dust and mud comprise the entire phar-
.macopocln of the elephant, and this is
applied upon the most trivial and the
most serious occusions. They have been
seen, when in a tank, to plaster up a bullet-wound
with mud taken from the
bottom."

LIVE QUE8TI0NS.
Every public question, of whatever
nature, is an issue of itself. Because
all men do not agree in opinion as to
the public weal any issue may pro
duce in a community at large when
crystallized into law, is no evidence
that any of them are corrupt, dishon
est or villainous. It is but natural
that some men should differ in opin
ion ot any measure that should be
binding upon all the people. The
manifest degeneracy of our public
men in our age, is alarmingly preva
lent in the respect and courtesy they
regard their equals and superiors,
which fact is very evident the rank
and file of the masses of our people
are becoming contaminated with the
same spirit of bigotry in according
pure or lalse motives in the public
acts of our public men. That the
chief magistrate of our nation, and,
those in high authority, should be as
sailed and villified by the vilest of
names, by the peoples representatives
whom they choose to make laws, can
there be any wonder that the people
themselves should take up the strain
and also ignore, despise and vilify
those in authority over them ? But
mark you ; no fool was yet ever
chosen as the chief magistrate of this
nation ; nor ever will be. No per
son who has so stullified himself in
villifying a chief magistrate by villain
ous comparisons and representations
of vile names has yet ever been chos
en as chief magistrate of this nation ;
nor ever will be. It is very easy to
abuse and vilify public officials in
high authority 5 but the effect always
falls with double force upon the per
petrators. If our public officials
show no respect or courtesy for their
equals or superiors, how can it be ex
pected that the common people will
long show respect and courtesy for
their equals, and superiors. Such de
generacy will lead the nation to no
enviable condition, morally, nor po
litically. We have heard that men
who have used such bitter denuncia
tions and hurled such shameful
epithets at the chief magistrate were
on the highway to the chief magis
tracy of the nation themselves. Many
people applaud and approve of such
shameful and demoralizing conduct,
and those indulging in it may think
they merit such approval and ap
plause, and even promotion at their
hands. But mark the point ; no
Joseph C. Sibley, Senator Vest, or
Tillman, or anv of that inkling, will
ever grace the chair of the executive
mansion. The low depraved nature I
of any public man will flow from his
corrupt heart when denouncing meas
ures not in line with his view of think
ing. However much they meet with
public approbation and admiration,
the people will never entrust a man
with the chief magistracy whom they
do not regard as honest, upright and
incorruptible. But trace the line
of Presidents, from Washington to
Cleveland, and there was not one
blackguard, nor foulmouthcd man,
among thein. The class of men
above may amuse and tickle the peo
ple, like a clown in a circus or men
agerie, but later on may learn that
they paid too dearly for the show.
