Permit me to submit a few con siderations upon The Courts and the practice before them, in an en deavor to bring them and the pro ceedings before them into uniformity and prevent the jumble of juries and suitors and witnesses, and un necessary expense and loss of time to all parlies. It is mainly in the hands and power of the Judges, and a little consultation and the applica tion of simple business rules would greatly simplify the entanglement, and relieve the situation. The courts in Pennsylvania with which we have to deal in the ordinary affairs of life and business, are courts attended by a jury and courts to which no jury is sum moned. There are two grand divisions the Civil Courts and the Crimiual Courts. To each of these grand divisions juries are summoned, to one for the trial of indictments for criminal offenses, and to the other for the trial of civil cases and dis putes between citizens. But a very large part of this business of the courts is transacted without the aid of a jury, and if there was any proper distribution and division of it, great saving in time and money would be effected. We all know what a rush and hubbub and scramble there is on the first day of court. Lawyers, Jurors, Suitors, Witnesses, Con stables, Clients, et id omne genus, fill the court room. There are five Courts opened, generally, when the court crier opens his mouth with his O Yez! O Yez! O Yez! to wit: The Com mon Pleas ; the Orphans Court ; IN THE COUNTY Surptu and Undivided Profits SI5O.O0O. the Equity Court : the Ouarter Ses sions Court, and the Court of Oyer and Terminer. The Common Pleas is a jury court ; the Oyer ami Terminer is a j"ry court ; one br?nch of the Quarter Sessions is a jury court. The Orphans' Couit and the Equity Court and the general Quarter Ses sions are not. The first week of every term of the cotttt should be allotted to the 11011 jury busings, to wit: Petitions, motions, bills, answers, arguments, sureties of the peace, cases of de sertion, divorces, audits, sales, re orts on ronds and bri Jge views, constables' returns on toads, hotels, etc.. etc. ; and the great nameless multiplicity of miscellaneous busi ness which takes up time and re quires attention, and is important enough not to be run through the mill as if the Court House was on fire If all the non jury business is set and fixed for the regular quart erly term o! court, one week will be pretty well taken up. and in stead of using up the first Monday of every month, except July and August, and running lawyers and suitors to an argument court the said argument court, which is a nuisance, ought to be abated, as a nuisance. Thus all the non-jury business could be disposed of decent ly and in order. Ou the Monda of the second week, the Grand Jury, and the criminal traverse jury and the de fendants and witnesses and the general jail delivery should appear aud answer as they were bound to do. Then allow no flimsy excuse. See that a continuance is for good cause; try the cast: carefully, with out undue haste, and let even hand ed justice be done. If it takes three days, well and good, if it takes all week, then every case has been heard, and every man is on the way to serve his sentence, or he goes about his interrupted business, Ireed of the fear of punishmeut, and of the law's delay. On the Monday of the third week the Common Pleas jury, and the parties and witnesses aud counsel concerned attend the court, satisfied that nothing is in the way of prompt trials, as per the list of causes. At the present terra, for instance, there are forty three causes. No body pretends that they can be tried at the tail end of the criminal week or even one-tenth of them. And so the most important and business litigation of the county goes over and over, term after term because the time is taken up by the business which must be done, and which is non jury business. No man can tell when the miscellaneous business will be finished. No man can tell when the Quarter Sessions will end at any term of court. Therefore no man can tell when the civil jury business will be or can be reached. The rule is to get' all the miscel laneous and criminal business done Ayers This falling of your hair!

Don't Like to Think About It These cool mornings bring sug gestions of the coming tall, the weather being cool and crisp. Summer's cup is now filled to the brim and the happy harvest days and the long dreaming afternoons will soon be here in earnest. The rank summer foliage will soou be gin to thin out, brown patches will appear in the meadows and a sea son of repose come to the country. Ihe Katydid will soon assert itself and the hoarse monition of the September frost suggests the ap- proacn ot winter. Meat Will fie Cheaper The statement that meat is going to be cheaper a few months hence, will be heard with interest by house kepers. It is made by J. E. Church, lately the president of the National Live Sock Association. He reports that there is a great increase in the number of cattle, sheep and hogs that are being fattened in the West, and that the price of desired meat of all kind is likely to come down soon. Cheap Hovels are Barred The officials of the Pennsylvania railroad company have issued an edict against all news companies, selling, either on their trains or around their stations, cheap edi tions of detective and other novels. They claim, that these stories have caused considerable crime in Amer ica, and they are determined to do all they can to remove this cause. The new order will go into effect at once.

Will Build 150 New Houses. It is understood from good auth ority that Berwick officials of the American Car and Foundry Com pany are giving their sttention to the looking up of plans and specifi cations for probably a hundred and twenty-five or a hundred and fifty new houses which will be erected by the Company in Berwick iu the not far distant fntnre. There certainly is a demand for this large number of houses which the Company expects to build The addition to the steel plant will be ready for occupancy this fall when many more men will be employed. Many of the employees at the pre sent time have their famlies living elsewhere and desire to move there. - . Etcbived Teh-gram Announcing Death- A telegram was received by Wil liam Jones of Pine township, this county, on Sunday conveying the sad intelligence of the death of his son John, which occuritd in Cali fornia. Only meagre details are known, but it seems that the young man was injured iu an explosion on Saturday, and was so badly injured1 in an explosion that his death followed Saturday night. He was twenty-three years of age and left this county about a year and six months ago- for the California oil fields. To those with whom he was acquainted the anncuncement of his death will corneas a shock. A Large Enrollment We are in!orrued that the Liter ary Institute and. State Normal School, at Bloomsburg, Pa , is en rolling large numbers of students in its various departments tor the en suing year. This school is increasing iu popu larity every year. Not only does it attract because of its high standard of excellence, btit also because the school's reputation is so excellent and fat-reaching that young people educated there have the best chance for positions. We advise young people to send for a catalog. Look Out for $5 Counterfeit. Chief Wilkie of the United States Secret Service has announced the appearance of a new counterfeit $5 silver certificate. It is of the series of 1899, Lyons register and Roberts treasurer. It is a poorly executed note, printed on two thin pieces of paper. There are many mistakes in the lettering on the face of the note.
