Judges Archbald and Gunster Listen to Argu
ments oa Two Ap;i:dls.
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.

Decision of .Judg Olayton with Rtgard
to L yuor Ssllers' Bondsmen.
Judge Clayton, of the Delaware
county court, in passing upon liquor
license application a few days ago
ruled that where a person was surety
ou a liquor seller's bond he had to
qualify in ..',000 In each caae. It was
found that some of tbe names as secur
ity ware on ?a many as five and six
bonds. Judge Clayton decided that
where a man was on two bonis he
must justify in $4,000; If on six bouda,
118,000.
All licenses were granted on condi
tion that such justifications bo made
where it was shown that tbe names on
tbe bond wero also on the bonds of
other applicants for license. It this
rnliug stiould be followed by other
courts, it will provo troublesome.

About two weeks ago County Treas
urer IV W. Powell addressed a letter
to Auditor General D MoM Gregg,
asking for definite instructions ou the
question of theatrical licenses, which
is creating ao much trouble throughout
the state, in order to know whereof he
spoke, the auditor general decide I to
submit the following questions to ths
attorney general before answering Mr
Powell:
I As to tbe duty of the county treat
liter In demanding and collecting I lie
liceusu from anv person or persona desir
ing to show, hold or exhibit u theatre cir
cus or menagerie within the Hunts uf this
court.
'J. Should am persou utleuipt lo hold,
show or cxliibil a theutre, circus or
menagerie without baying paid the ie-
quited license, upon wln.ui would devolve
I lie duty of having such defender indicted
for violation of act of May 15, 1850.
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
