THE QUESTION OF CONSTRUCTION Attorney Scrasg Says That the Act of 1802 Considered with Its Supple ment ol 1333 Does Not Permit Poor Directors to Give Out Door Relief. Attorney Davis Argues to the Con trary Cases Continued and Settled. iBefori Judges Archbald and GunsUr yesterday arguments were heard on the appeal of the Scranton Po r dis trict from the report of Attorney Rloh in llol .'Hie. the auditor appointed hy the court to report finding! of law and facta with retard to the question of outdoor relief, and on the appeal of the directors of the Scrunton Poor district from the report uf the auditors of the lislrict. Jadt Klwtirds formerly acted iu attorney for the directors anil therefore did DM sit on the bench dur iux the argument of the case. Judi;e Archbald said that when he Waj praoticiog at the bar he was em ployed to urgue one phase of the case as at prtWDt raised, au 1 felt some deli cacy about now listening to argument on it and pissing up m tlitae satus poiuts iu liisjit lici.il capacity. The object of the litigation is to let tie the troublesome tjusstion of whether or not the directors of this poor district have the right to graut out door relief. how utt: qvMUlM was RflfttD Some time ago Mrs. Swan at a meet ing of the poor board asked for a lettal opinion from John F. Scragg, attorney of the board, on the question of out door relief. H decided they had no i power to grant out door relief aud in conformity with thai oplakttD thedis trict auditors turohar;ed the directors with tuouey paid out for out door relief. Au appeal was taken from, the action of the auditors aud the uourt appoiuted Attorney llolgate to pass upon the law I and the facts involved aud report to : court. I His report was to the ett'sct that the board had the right to graut out door I relief after the apnltcatiou had been I approved by two magistrates. From ' this report the district appealed and both of these tppjatt cams up yester , day in argument court. .Mr. Scrag maintained that ths act i of 1889, which is a special one govern ing this district, must be construed as a whole in connection with tlie sup plemental net of ISiJj. If this is done he argues that outdoor relief is not allowable. qPESTlON uf JtrJUBMONOS. He also questioned the jurisdiction of this court to pass upon the matter as the act of 1863 sp?cities that all appeals , must be taken to the court of common pleas of Luxe roe county. He quoted anopiniou of Jndge Handley, when president judge of this county, to sus tain bis position on the question of ' jurisdiction Attorney Usvis, in beginning his ar gument, said there could be no doubt ' that the poor directors always had ti:e power to grant out door relief. To interpret the act a not giving such power would make it necessary to go outside of all canons of construction that he ever heard of. The poor laws, lie said, were not framed to put persons I iu almshouses, nut to mike them self , supporting. I 'nder Section 15 of the ' act of 1863, he held that the board has j the power to give outdoor relief in two (different ways, and it is only by a strained construction and patting Ssc ' lions 8 and 13 tiarether by mans of the I supplement of 1S03 that a contrary con 1 struction can be arrived at. POWER OF TflE CODKT. Mr. Davis sai 1 that if our courts ...... tlia r.owr of annnintino' rioor directors which they have exercised for several years, they certainly have the power to pass upon au appnal arising from their official acts. than care fully reviewed the act of ISoi and its supplement and qnoted a number of authorities to eustain the interpreta tion which be places on the law. At 4 30 the argument was completed and court took the papers. It deci sion will be awaited with interest. The cases on this week's argument list reported settled were: Neil Hackett & Co. ajainst Thomas Lucas and Son, rnle to dissolve attachment.

S. Whal churacter of performances or entertainments Hhouid be dasniiied as theatres, circuses or menagerlest' The attorney general's answer was received by Mr. Powell yesterday. He says that it Is the duty ot the county treasurer of all counties, except Alle tn 1 1 and Philsdelphis, to issue a tbeatrlotl license on piyiuint of a feo of 150 which sum shall be paid to the state for sinking fund purposes NOl' A PROSECUTING ATTORN RY, "But no activo duties in the way of ferreting out al tempted presumable or actual violations of these laws are im pound on the county treasurer.'' con- tin uss the attorney general. "A fail lire, neglect or refusal to obtain a license makes the person giving the performance liable to indictment and upon conviction thereof to forfeiture, fine uud penalty. These. fineH nro to be paid into the treasury of the county. A violation of the set is a misde meanor, which makes the offender amenable to a criminal prosecution. "There the duty of the district at torney of the quarter sessions court begins. Whether or not persons who refuse or neglect to tnks out this li cense shall bi prosecuted hecjtnes u matter of concern to the county com tnissioners, th county solioitor and county treasurer, and they must be guided by their own judgment. "As to the character of entertain ments to be considered theaters, cir cuses and menageriss within the mean ing of the acts minstrel troupes should be classified according to the character of the exhibition which they give. If it includes a fared, burlesque or farce comedy, it is a theatrical exhibition within the meaning of the net. A strictly musical conc-rt, without the introduction of the dramatic, operatic or theatrical element is n it, in my opinion, a theatrical exhibition, what A TBIATRICAL IS, "Any story represented by action performed iu a theater With Btage, proscenium boxes, orchestra, pit or p, liquet and tne galleries, or with scenic representations and with stage machinsry and decorations, is a theat rical exhibition for the purposes of this act. "A to tbe limitations of a license granted to a theatrical exhibition, cir cus or menagerie by a county treasurer, 1 am of the opinion that such license covers the theatrical exhibition or ex hibitions, circus performance or me nageries, for one year within th county."

What a Salesman Must Do to Meat With Success. Salesmen are usually men of re source They meet all sorts and condi tions of people, and must be able to meet them as they stiould be met. This requires a versatility which is commonly supposed to exist only on the stage. But a successful salesman is a good actor. He can adapt himself to any character, lie can be at ease in any place. He can asttune any position, and that without a rehaartal, tor there 1 no tune to ' make up" for the part he is to play, no opportunity to con his lines. Everything is done on the spur of the moment. For instance, lie has just loft a jovial, hearty, hail-fellow. well-met, who) is cordial and friendly eveu to bi re fusal, and he next opens to the oppo site. The laugh, the joke, th happy -go lncky familiarity must be cast aside and tbe actor must at oncn as sume a new part. This is where th tho artittio talesman ihowe his line work. And that is the reason why lii "t class salesmen are not picked up like goods on a bargain counter. Gf course, a salesman who is handling or introducing s mist lung t hat is so good and worthy that it requires little be yond its own intrinsic merit to -lease is not obliged to use the arts which are called into being when the "some thing" needs exterior influence -That Is one rason why the solicitor for The TRIBCNI edition of BrittnoiOA have but little more to do than to nuswer in quiries.
