Hakrisbuko, Dec. 10. Governor Pat
tison received an application to-day from
Judge Mcllvain, asking him to remit the
fine of S100 imposed bv the Judge in the
case of each of the 21 butchers and grocers
of Washington county who violated the
law prohibiting the sale of oleomargarine.
Judge Mcllvain, in a letter to the Governor,
savs:
At our last term of court 21 of our mer
chants -were lutnrned under theactof May
2L ltSj.for unlawfully telling oleomargarine.
and to the indictment of tlio grand jury
pleaded nolle contendere ana were sen
tenced to pay the costs of prosecution and a
fine of $100 in each caso. After plea and mo
tion for judgment by the District Attorney
the counsel lor defendants asked the Court
to enter a "stet" on pleas, and to allow the
defendants to go without a day upon the
payment of the costs.
This implication was suppoitcd byxtatc
ment to which I was inclined to give a
Killing ear, but on reflection concluded
there m.is no nutlioiity inlaw justifying
feuch action on the pait of the court,and
that to do so would be a usurpation of tho
authority vested in the Executive. I theie
tore commend them to your clemency, be
lie ing that vou w ill give them all the relier
which they inay show themselves entitled
to and which I could not give in opposition
to the motion of the District Attorney for
judgment upon the defendants' pleas:
In a petition of the merchantsto the Gov
ernor, they say: That in the prosecution of
their business they have been engaged in
the sale of butter, and the supply from the
surrounding country not being sufficient to
meet the demands of their customers, they
were compelled to purchase from the whole
sale dealers, in Pittsburg and elsewhere.
Some of the consignments trom these dealers
contSined packages of the product known as
oleomargarine, or butterine. In a majority
of cases this product was soid to them as
dairy butter, and a large number of them
were not aware that they were engaged in
the sale of an article other than butter.
The prices paid lor the product were the
same as w ould have been charged at that
time for dairy or country butter, and in
most cases it was represented to them as
ueing uairy uuuer uy me piuw iivm
whom it was purchased.
The first knowledge they had that it was
not as represented, was when they were
called upon by officers of the internal rev
enue to take out licenses under the statutes
of the United States, which they did rather
than go into suits with these officers. The
petitioners say that of thos2 who have been
lined, a large number are not able to pay
their fiues, and that if the sentence should
be enforced against them they will be com
pelled to go out of business, and a few, at
least, would have to be imprisoned.
The Governor will probably take action
on the application and publish next weeli

Ifo Sunday Opening of the State Exhibit at
tho "World's Fair.
HAEKisntntG, Dec 10. At the meeting
of tire Executive Committee of the World's
Fair Board to-day, over on hour was taken
up by the various clergymen of the State,

the'opening of the World's Fair on Sun
day. No one was present to urge the open
ing of the gates on the Sabbath. The
board, on its final vote, records itself as
favoring the closing "of the gates on the
Sabbath.

duction Of the State Capitol buildings and
grounds, a model Pennsylvania farm and a
large-sized topographical map of the State,

appeal of Lew is Emery, Jr., for a proper
consideration for the oil and gas industry of
the State. Under the rules of the National
Commission, he said, no adequate exhibit
could be made Highly inflammable mate
rial was prohibited in the buildinjrs, andean
exhibition of well machinery in operation
would not be permitted in Machinery Hall,
and no derricks are to be allowed on the
rounds. Mr. Emery said the oil and gas
production of this country was the third in
value, the third on the list of exports, and
represented hundreds of millions of dollars,
but these facts were not known to the Na
tional Commission. Messrs. Emery, Bigler
and Hasson were appointed to attend to the
matter.

A PRINCETON PLEA.
L. P. Schilling Knocks Out Harvard's
v Extravagant Claims.
THE FOOTBALL TEAMS COMPARED.
James J. Corhett Out With Lots of Money to
Fight Mitchell.
THE POOL CHAMPIONSHIP CONTEST
Louis F. Schilling, of Princeton '93, has
written the following interesting letter to
this paper regarding the claim that Har
vard's football team leads others on the sea
son's work. The letter is a reply to a spe
cial dispatch from Cambridge, which ap
peared in this paper a few days ago, making
the claim for Harvard. Mr. Schilling is an
authority on the matter, and what he says
is of importance His letter is dated Prince
ton, December 7, aud is addressed to the
sporting editor ofTnn DISPATCH. The
letter is as follows:
Attacking Harvard's Claims.
"I notice in The Dispatch a special
telegram from Cambridge which goes on to
explain how Harvard is 'on top' at the close
of this football season. I also noticed
something of the same nature in connection
with the baseball championship last spring
after the seasomwas over.
"Now, this sort of thing mav do first rate
to console a beaten and chagrined college,
and may also go down with some of the out
side world who know nothing about foot
ball. However, for the latter reason, we
cannot help but infer when observing claims
of this kind made by Harvard that they are
falling far below what they would have the
public believe they are in "regard to a true
sportsmanlike spirit. What they fail to
bring forth in muscular power they try to
make up for by their inventive powers.
"Well, as to the Cambridge statement. I
should just like to bring before the public a
few facts which the Harvard men wish to
ignore
Some Wrong Reasoning.
"In the first place, it seems not out of the.
way to look over the teams that met Harvard
this vear as compared with those that met
Princeton and Yale, and in doing so, we
find them to be a few of the smaller colleges
and athletic clubs, a number of preparatory
schools and lastly some high schools, while
the Princeton nud Yale contests were between
onlv the larger colleges and athletic clubs
in the East. Now, had Harvard met the
teams that Princeton and Yale did, her
scored points might have dwindled down to
Eretty nearly nothing, while on the other
and, had .Princeton and Yale met the teams
that Harvard did, their scored points would
without doubt have been several times what
Harvard's were .
"The telegram from Cambridge simply
mentions the number of points scored to their
credit at the close of the season, and totally
ignores the fact that Harvard had 22 scored
against her throughout the season, while
Yale stands without one against her and
Princeton is also free from such an en
cumbrance, with the exception of the 19
points scored against her on Thanksgiving
by Yale. The points scored for and against
Harvard up to the end of the season show
plainly the loose play ol her team as com
pared with that of Princeton and Yale
A Childish Argument.
"There is not much doubt but what sev
eral smalle.- colleges could be found that
have scored more points throughout the
season than Harvard has, and are we, ac
cording to Harvard'stbeory, to regard them
as standing ahead of Princeton, Yale and
Harvard without paying any attention as to
who they scored the points against, or how
many points have been scored against them?
This is a childish argument and the sooner
Harvard throws such things aside the bet
ter. It is very pleasant to havo plenty of
points to one's credit but how those against
one can so easily be forgotten is something
that is a little hard to conceive.
"I trust this may throw the proper light
before the public and impress Harvard men
to some extent that it would sound better,
at least to those acquainted with the sub
ject, to tell the whole truth instead of only
part and brag only when there is something
to brag about. As your paper is widely
read by football admirers and athletes in
general, I trust you will publish this."
THE BIG POOL HATCH,
Powers and Clearwater Begin Their Con
test In Presence or a Large Crowd.
There was a large crowd at tho World's
Fair billiard hall last evening to see A. G.
Powers, champion, and W. II. Clearwater
commence their match for the continuous
pool championship of America. Beside
being large the crowd was enthusiastic
The contestants were in good form and
the local man, Clearwater, surprised every,
body by tha excellent manner in which he
played. He pocketed the entire 15 balls
several times, and so did Powers. But
Clearwater nlavcd better nool thronn-hnnr.
than the Chicago man, and the evening's
plav finished with Clearwater 150 and Pow
ers 117. The local contestant has n fairJead
now, bnt Powers is very likely to show up in
his best form to-night, and if he does there
will be some great playing.
