In the matter of the Judicial contest.
the Judges 'hearing the case met at
Lapoi te the latter part of the week and
reviewed several phases of the ques
tion, flnully adjourning until Wednes
day, Jan. 9, to consider a motion to
quash the whole proceedings, on the
ground that the allldavlts attached to
the petition are defective In that they
did not follow the language of the stat
ute. The Judges were not clear on
that point, and desired to look It up.
The motion was made, of course, by the
attorneys for Mr. Dunham. They also
Introduced another motion to quash the
proceedings on the ground that Sulli
van county 'had no Jurisdiction to try
the case; that If tried at all it should
be In Wyoming. The court was divided
on this question, but the majority
finally ruled It out. Tho committee ap
pointed to collect the ballot boxes were
instructed to open them In the presence
of representatives of both parties and
to seal t'he allldavlts and papers, and
place them in the hands of the pro
thonotary for safe keeping.

"Hold up, there," commanded the pad,
"Hold up what?" Inquired tho citizen,

"Hold up your hands, of course."
"What's the use?, Aren't you holding
me up?"
"You do what I tell you, or I'll blow a
hole In you!"
"What's that for?" Inquired the citizen,
plaintively. "Do you think you can drup
a bullet In the slot and pull out a national
batik?"
"Come off, -will you?" exclaimed the pad,
In an ugly tone.
"I can't, but I wish to thunder you
would go off and leave me alone."
"This gun will go off pretty soon if

Four Survivors of the Kmrcror's
(irunJ Army-All Ccntcnariuns.
One of the French pnpers which have
been devoting a great deal of attention
to Napoleon Bouapurte of late has been
entertaining its readers by having a
census mnde of the survivors of Nupo
Icon's grand army. Four of these men
only are now left.
The eldest Is Jean Jacques Sabatler,
who was born on the'lOth of April, 17112,
at Vernoux l'Ardeche, where he has
lived In retirement for many years.
Then come Victor Baillod, Jean Bous-
set and Joseph Rose, aged respectively
101 years and 1 month, 100 years and 1
month and loo years and a few days.
It Is said that ull are as hearty and
vigorous as can be expected. In spite
of their experiences as long as eighty
two years ago In that terrible retreat
when the beggarly remnant of the
greatest army the world has ever seen,
worn out with cold and hunger, angrily
called to the victor of Marengo and
Austerlitz to get off his horse and share
In the miseries of his men.
COULD HARDLY BREATHE,
Catarrh of the Nose, Throat and
Stomach Life Made Miierable by
Headaches, Pain and Cough. ,
Llda McCanUleHS, 1230 South Thirty
fifth street, Philadelphia, In conversa
tion with a reporter, said: "I had a
very bad caBe of catarrh of tho nose,
throat and stomach, with frequent
headaches, pain under the shoulder
blades and a horrible cough. I had to
keep my mouth constantly open day
and nlKlit to breathe, and felt as miser
able as one poBslbly could. I was ad
vised to try Munyon's Catarrh Cure. I
am happy to. say that from the begin
ning 1 felt relieved and continued to
grow better until now I am entirely
well. I am so thankful that this re
markable remedy was ever discovered,
and hope others will take advantage of
my experience."
Have you catarrh? Are you willing
to investigate a treatment that oures
Catarrh by removing the cause? If so
ask your druggist for a 25 cent bottle of
Munyon's Catarrh Cure and a 25 cent
bottle of Catarrh Tablets. The Catarrh
Cure will eradicate the disease from
the system, and the Tablets will cleanse
and heal the afllictcd parts and restore
them to a natural and healthful condi
tion. .
Munyon's Homoeopathlo Home Rem
edy company, of Philadelphia, put up
specifics for nearly every disease,
which are sold by all druggists, mostly
for 25 cents a bottle. - ' ,
SCRANTON THEN AND NOW.
Contrasts Uctwccn the City of Yesterday
and Tliut of Today.
In teist week's issue of the Wllkes-
Barre Telephone Editor Charles V. Lin-
skill givt& the following Interesting pen
picture of Scranton:
'When my father came Into Pennsyl
vania, sixty-four years ago, the place
where Scranton stands was known as
Slocum Hollow. A red mill stood In a
shady dell by a bright trout stream. A
country road wound through the val
ley, now amid hemlocks and laurels,
and now over hills of chestnut and oak.
An occasional field, or open place In the
forest, peimltted the traveler to catch
a random view of the distant mountain
ranges. After this, energetic men with
bright, . restless eyes, came here and
planted a roaring, belching furnace,
and molten Iron painted the evening
clouds. Then 'they waved their hands
toward a wealthy city, and beckoned a
railroad to come this way on Its Jour
ney to the great lakes. Then the Lacka
wanna valley echoed with t'he shrill
neigh of the powerful Iron-horse, and
the hills reverberated with the clash of
his steel hoofs on the iron paved high
way. Then these active, powerful men
again polished the Aladdin lamp of
modern enterprise, and a town was
found sitting In the forest. Mechanics
made the shops glow and ring; miners
tunneled and chambered the solid
earth; farmers felled ithe forests, and
plowed the fields and caused them to
bloom and ripen, and resound with
cackling, bleating and bellowing herds;
and merchants, with new goods and
suange tongues, came from distant
fifties, and the pavements were decked
with the hospitable glow of commercial
enterprise and courtesy.
ine first time I saw Scranton was
In 1881. I remember seeing a few
houses among forest trees, nnd thou
sands of people walking slowly along a
lonely, muddy road, to the strains of
sad, wailing music, until we came to
a new, untamed cemetery, where amid
weeping, and mournful dirges, the re
ui.inin ol ueorge w. scranton were
lowered into the earth. Again, I saw
Scranton, with a dear friends, when a
saintly man came to the Wyoming
House and placed the hand of a bright,
beautiful girl In mine, and after sol-
emnly asking us to love and care for
each other, he gave Us his most sincere
blessing. Again, I saw Scranton, when
Hags and banners caused the place to
bloom with beauty, while music thrilled
the hearts and timed the footsteps of
many thousand of armed and regaliaed
men. When a tall and noble governor
of our state, with uncovered head
moved along streets crowded with men,
women nnd children in orderly pha
lanx. While banners waved, artillery
roarer, men shouted and music echoed,
the gallant governor was the most self
possessed man In the assembly, which
seemed to verify the saying that he
who rules himself best is best fitted to
rule others,
"Again, while there, I went where a
swa.np had been, and, entering a large
building, found several thousands of
people singing hymns, and before them,
on a platform, sat scores of gifted min
isters, and a man, who had talked to
millions of people in many lands, arose
nnd talked of truth, -peace and good
ness, in such a simple, yet powerful
manner as to make- many emile and
weep and promise to lead lives more
useful. Again, I enter the place at
eventide. The blue-eyed angel of elec
tricity brightens the city. The furnaces
flash their flames toward the sky.
Screaming and roaring engines dash
along with great nickel-plated and
satin-lined carriages filled with light,
and with happy people. Electric oars
like chariots of flame are going and
coming in many directions. Many
great, crystal-front stores show the
beautiful and varied merchandise of an
opulent world. Thousands of people
are buying the articles most timely for
holiday-tide. Seal-clad wealth, and
penury's anxious eye, paled cheek and
ragged garment, on the same pave
ment. The following morning, the
charming chimes of silvery bells In a
stone tower, call us to enter the door
way of a magnificent edlilce where the
light fell through stained glass In forms
of marvelous love and beauty, and the
mighty organ blended thunder and
ocean roar, with the carol of happy
birds, the whisper of loving mothers
and the soothing zephyrs of June morn
ings. Then a stalwart man from the
north, spoke to the people with a gen
tle, earnest, truthful eloquence that
was as ennobling as It was charming."

NEXT CENTURY'S POPULATION
A French Statistician Indicates Varia
tions Increase Hates.
A well known French statistician
computes the following figures, based
on present statistics for the end of the
twentieth century. According to his
tables the population of the earth at
that time will be:
Europe, 780,000,000 (at present 364,000,
000). Asia, 1,100,000,000 (at present 830,000,
000). America, 685,000,000 (at present 125,
500,000). Australia, 30,000,000 (at present 5,7000,
000). Africa,' 200,000,000 (at present 170,000,
000). Thus America will be first In regard
to Increase and Europe second, while
the ratio of Increase will grow steadily
larger in America and smaller In
Europe. The decline of the ratio of
Increase, which may be already ob
served In France, will extend in rota
tion to Germany, Italy, England, etc.
The population of the various coun
tries at the end of the next century Is
given thus:
Russia, 340,000.000.
Oermany, 110,000,000.
France, 50,000,000.
China, 500,000,000.
United States, 400,000,000.
Mexico and Brazil, 15,000,000.
Canada, 40,000,000.
Argentine Republic, 30,0000,000.
English will probably be spoken In
19114 by more than 500,000,000, German
by 10,000,000, French by 120,000,000,
Spanish and Portugese by 235,000,000
people.
