W. C. King Esq., of William
sport, who has been performing the
duties of Major of the 12th Regt.,
N. G. P., for some years, has been
appointed by the President a cap
tain in the volunteer army, for ser
vice in the Philippines.
The New York Sun has just
completed a compilation of the loss,
killed and wounded in all the bat
tles of modern times. According
to its research the greater losses
were suffered at Gravelot and Get
tysburg. The battles fought in the
recent American-Spanish conflict
were only mere skirmishes com
pared to the two above mentioned.
Judge Woodward on Tuesday
banded down an opinion in the case
of J. H. Mahon against the County
Commissioners of Luzerne county
for a perpetual injunction to restrain
them from erecting the new court
house on the square at Wilkes
Barre. The Judge ventured the
hope that the Commissioners will,
without further litigation, place the
court house elsewhere than on the
square. He says in primitive times
it was customary to have the court
house built upon the public square,
but when all the business of a pro
gressive city is centered on the
same square, it is no longer the
place for the court house.
Could Speak of the Don-
What is the truth about
the
whole Philippine situation ?
What caused the war ?
Who is to blame for the failure
of General Otis' campaign ?
What should be the policy of the
United States towards the Filip
inos when the war ends ? Are they
fit for self-government, or must we
hold them as a subject people ?
There is one man to whom this
nation would listen with the pro
foundest respect were he at liberty
to speak fully in answer to these
questions. His judgment would
be taken as decisive by nine-tenths
of his fellow countrymen.
That man is Admiral Dewey.
Were President McKinley to free
the Admiral from all the customary
official restraints and formally in
vite him to address the nation with
entire frankness on this subject,
about which he knows more than
anybody else, the President would
do a timely and a very wise thing.
The censorship has withheld
facts which ought now to be put
into the possession of the American
ocople, who must in the end be the
t , to Pass upon what has been
fie and 'to determine what shall
be done hereafter.
Let Admiral Dewey speak.

Nearly 2,000 Illegal Vottu.
At til 3 election of November,
1895, P. M. Dunn, of Miuersville
(Democrat), was declared elected
Judge of the Orphans' Court of
Schuylkill county by a majority of
- over his Republican opponent,
T. II. 13. Lyon, cf Mahanoy City.
The latter believed Judge Dunn's
election illegal and 011 November j
30, 189?, started a contest. Gov j
ernor Hastings appointed Judges K.
R. Ikeler, of the Twenty-sixth ;
Allen Craig, of the Forty-third,
and Allen Y. Khrgood, 01" the Forty-second
Judicial districts, to de
termine the justice of Mr. Lyon's
claims. The trial of the case con
sumed nearly four years.
On Tuesday the contest court
filed a, voluminous opinion with the
Prothonotary, declaring Judge Dunn
elected, his real majority having
been 157 votes, or 81 more than his
election returns in 1895. The re
sult of the investigation shows that
more illegal votes were cast for
'Judge Lyon than for Judge Dunn,
Lyon having received 1,033 illegal
votes as against 952 by Judge
Dunn. The Judges place the costs
of the contest, which amount to
nearly $50,000, on the county.
After Judge Ikeler's death Judge
Herring sat in this case, and Judge
Little has been one ot the commis
sion since he went on the bench.

John Sarara and Charles Men
acase fought out a feud Monday at
Mount Carmel. The two met and
after many hard blows had been
struck on each side Sarara delivered
a terrific upper-cut, which landed
squarely on Menacase's lower jaw,
breaking it and knocking the man
out. He fell across the curbstone,
fracturing his leg. Menacase was
carried to his home, where doctors
dressed his wounds, while his an
tagonist was removed to the Miners
Hospital.
A New York syndicate has an
nounced its intention of erecting a
big paper mill in Williamsport,
The buildings will cover 16 acres
of land. The plant will employ
300 men and will run day and
night. It will cost $500,000 to
equip the plant. A deal has been
consummated with the local . lum
bermen whereby all the offal lum
ber turned out from the score of
saw-mills in that city will be sold
to the paper mill people. This will
amount to thousands of dollars an
nually. A novel "continuous chain"
plan has been started by the Young
Men's Christian Association, of
Wilkes-Iiarre, to influence against
profanity. Printed slips have been
issued which read : ' ' Will the one
who receives this write one or more
copies and make this same request
to thus continue tbe chain. Then
upon the other side of the slip ap
pears these words :
' ' Important One of the blackest
of all sins is that of profanity.
Men curse God, and most always
thoughtlessly. But this will ex
cuse no one. Will all who are ad
dicted to this terrible habit stop to
reason ? God 111 His infinite mercv
has spared you until now, but you
will not doubt his power to cut you
on without warning. May you
learn to revere that holy name and
honor God, who is the author of
all our blessings here, and from
whom we expect more in eternity."
The moral influence of this move
win probably be considerable, as
there are a few of those addicted
to profanity who are not so through
force ot habit and unmindful that
at times it may jar upon the ears of
others.

Admiral Dtvrey's Cousin
While Admiral George Dewey is
sailing homeward to be honored as the
greatest hero since Grant, his cousin,
Miss Ida K. Dewey sits in the window
of a Brooklyn shop sewing all day as
an advertisement for children's clothes.
She is a dominie's daughter, born in
Montpelier, Yt. She came to New
Yrk two years ago to begin a stage
career. She had little success until
the battle of Manila,, and then, when
the nation was clamoring to know all
about George Dewey and his family,
the newspapers discovered Miss
Dewey, wrote of and interviewed her.
She got a prominent place in the "Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" company, but
it did not last. She became ill and
had to do something to earn her living.
Miss Dewey is 22 years old.

Health Rales for Bicyclists-
The Wheel and Lawn Tennis Combined Fur
nish the Best Ail-Around Exercises.
'To those persons seeking exercise
there are features in bicycling that
especially commend it tor worthy con
sideration, writes hdward B. ar
man in the August Ladies Iloim
Journal. "It incourages sobriety,
gives steadiness of nerves, requires
quick perception and decision, and
promotes deep breathing. During
Hie summer months I arise at 5:30 a.
m. and mount my wheel for a little
run of fifteen to twenty-five miles, first
warming my stomach with a cup of
clear coffee. Returning, I take a
sponge bath of cold water and a thor
ough physical exercise for ail the mus
cles of the body that have not been
brought into play while cicyling. Then
my bath: and as I need no breakfast
I take none. Having no feeling of
exhaustion I settle myself for the lit
erary work of the morning, with a
dear brain and a body unencumber
ed by food.
"Whoever rides a bicycle should
bear in mind that while he is develop
ing leg muscle and lung capacity,'and
is assured of chest expansion, it may
be at the expense of arm, shoulder,
neck and chest muscles; therefore
special exercises for the upper part of
the body should always supplement
the use of the bicycle. An excellent
combination may be secured in all
around development by use of the
'wheel' and lawn tennis. But whether
indulging to any extent in bicycling,
golf, lawn tennis, croquet, rowing,etc,
exercises which are apt to cause pro
fuse perspiration, never neglect fol
lowing the same with a suitable bath.
A sponge bath of salt water, when
possible, will be found the best."

How to Keep Flowers
Harper's Bazar for the current
week gives some excellent ideas on
the preservation of cut flowers. Merely
putting the stems into water is appar
ently not sufficient, and with a little
more care even the most perishable
blossoms may be preserved.
"All leaves should be removed from
the part of the flower stem that is to
lie underneath the water," says the
Bazar, "otherwise these sodden leaves
decay and make the water offensive!
Every day the flowers must be care
fully lifted from the water, and the
eighth of an inch cut with sharp scis
sors from the end of the stem. The
vase must then be emptied, washed
out, and refilled with fresh water."
