THE HENDRICKS TRIAL.
Tho Prosecution Closes nnd tho Dcfenso
Will Open This Mornlns.
Ths- lap witness for tho jn-'isecutlon
of . Hendricks, one of the four men
clmrp;eI with the murder of Barney
Helck. was heard on Saturday after
noon nffbrnoon, and counsel announced
that they rested their ca:ie. JlcSwe?
ney, of the tlotcx-tlve OR-ency, wan tho
first witness on Saturday mm-nlnsr, but
nothing new of importance was elicited
from him. lie lost his temper under
the (reading of the younjf u-.nsel for
the defense and Judtre Woodward felt
constrained to severely rebuke counsel
for the undignified, person.il squabbling
that ha.3 been n dally occurrence. ?.!c
Sweeney was followed on the witnci
stand by Walter Ilross, who v.-ns, how
ever, jiot permitted to testify that
Hendricks had onoo attempted to "sand
bag" him. Chief of Police r.rjrcs. nr.
Jxmjr, Dr. Kerwln and Solomon Mill v.
were successively called, but their tes
timony was not epecciily Important.
Shortly before noon Attorney McOov
ern opened for th defense and In his
address very clearjy indicated the line
of policy they would adopt in their f
fort to clear the accused. Thulr pur
pose is to lanrely depend upon the had
character of some of the witnesses for
the prosecution and every effort will
be made to discredit them. The de
tective agency of Barring and McSwee
ney will also be viciously assailed, and
an attempt made to Impress the jury
that the agency has a financial Interest
In securing the convtcitlon of the de
defendants. Counsel for tho defense
have ulready made the bold nllwv
tion that this is not in any proper sense
of the term a prosecution, but a perse
cution in pursuance of a conspiracy.
The prosecution, on the other hand,
depend for conviction almost solely on
the evidence of the detectives and
others to whom Hendricks admitted his
participation Jn the fatal assault on
Barney Relck. The question of convic
tion or acquittal will evidently depend
on the measure of credence the jurors
give to the testimony of Rnv Boyer nnd
the detectives. There has Ccen no sub
stantial evidence to phow that Hen
dricks was a participant In the murder,
apart from his own alleged ad
missions to the witnesses named.
The des", as indicated by Mr.
JIcGoverni in his opening, will set
up tho theory that Hendricks
knew e.ll along that Fimison and
Kelghron were detectives in disguise
nnd that he was only "fooling" them
when he made th? alleged confessions.
"Whether or not that theory will be af
fective depends upon the credulity of
the jurors.
It is expected that tho trial will reach
its end by Wednesday evening, but
may continue' a day longer.
A GRADED SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Yesterday's Proceedings ot tho First M
T.. Sunday School.
The Sunday school connected with

teachers In either of the other depart
ments. Yesterday was the day for
these annual exercises, and they were
of unusual interest. This Sunday school
has been for twenty-five years under
the efficient superintendence of Mr.
George S. Bennett, and some of the
teachers have been In constant service
nearly as long a time. The school has
auuineu. a WIUK-Mpremi umi ursteivw-i

CHANGE OF BASE.
The Wllkos-Unrro Times Changes to Moro
Commodious Quarters.
On Saturday the Wllkes-Watre
Times commenced the work of moving
from Its old quarters on West Market
street to the building nearly opposite
recently purchased by the owners of
that paper. The Times has made great
strides since It came under Its pres
ent management and today gives every
evidence of bolng on the high road to
prosperity and influence. Tho Times
plant will occupy the entire building,
which is being remodeled Into a flnrt
claJto modern newspaper office. Four
Neighbors
Morganthaler typesetting machines are
now being net up in tho new building.
and the Woo press is being put in poel-
tlon In the basement. The managers of
the Times hope that before tho close of
the week to bo In complete running
order Ih the mew olllee, and promise to
u'Bue the must complete newspaper in
Luzerne county. After a precarious ex
Itcnce of several years the Times plant
finally came under control of men of
enterprise and capital and the natural
result Is the proml.se of prosperity and
influence.
MAYOR NICHOLS' PLAN.
Ho Proposes to llrcnk 1 p the Itnwdy
Houses or Drive Them to Secluded
l'lncc.
On Saturday Mayor Nichols notified
the keepers of five alleged houses of ill
fame to appear at his olilce. They
came promptly. Four of them were
gray-haired women well advanced in
years, probably all of them considera
bly part no. When they had assembled
and tho usual crowd of hangers-on were
ready for business-the mayor Informed
the five that they were charged with
keeping houses of bad repute in locall
ties where respectability abounded; and
that he proposed t.i compel them to
break up their unlawful and immoral
businers. Members of the police force
were put on the stand and testified as
to the character of the houses main
tallied by these women. The mayor
then imposed a. fine of $'17, and the costs
In each case. They paid the costs und
then each took an appeal.
Mayor Nichols says his action on Pat
t'.rd.iy is the beginning of a policy he
ban rVtermlned upon to stamp out
bawdy houses In WIIkes-Harre. Pur
Ir.g the present week, he has Intimated,
evi ry ki eper of such houses will be
summoned before him and the same
i-tlo:i t.ikon ast in the cases of the live
above referred to. The mayor's new
crusade will be watched with a good
deal of interest, it Is nn old prob
lem, he ha3 undertaken to solve, In
which many of his predecessors have
scored Ignominous failures. Mayor
Nichols Is not always wise In his offi
cial acts, but he is energetic, aggres
slvc and honest.
SITES TOR A NEW HOTEL.
'j;d Xot Necessarily Ho Located on the
Public Square.
The question of greater hotel accom
modations continues to be discussed
among business men andcapltallsts, but
there is as yet no organized movement
for carrying out the project. The idea
seems to prevail that the public square
is the only proper place for a modern
hotel. Thl.' is a mistaken notion. There
is no reason whatever why such a struc
ture should be located on the square.
There are othorsltes where ground costs
much less and which are Just as well
adapted for the purpose. The east side
of North Franklin street above Market
Is for several hundred yards occupied
with cheap little buildings and that
point would be Just as desirable for a
hotel as any in the city. "South Main
street, anywhere between the square
and South street, offers equally desir
able sites. Either Xorth or South
Washington street for a square from
East Market would be ns eligible as any
locality, an also would be Xorth Main
between tho square and Union street.
This city must have greater and bet
ter hotel accommodations than it now
has. One of the wealthy men in this
city who has not yet erected a monu
ment for 'himself is Lawrence Meyers,
the retired banker. He could put J200,
000 or $11X1,000 Into a hotel and would
find It a profitable Investment, besides
being gratefully remembered by the fu
ture generations of Wilkes-Barreans for
such an exhibition of public spirit. Mr.
Myers already owns real estate in vari
ous sections of tho city that would an
swer every purpose for a magnificent
modern hotel. He should take a run to
Seranton and have a talk with John
Jermyn on the hotel question.
COLONEL ASHEK MINER.
An Appointment That Meets with I'nP
vcrsal Popular I nvor.
The announcement on Saturday from
Harrlsburg that Governor Hastings
had appointed Captain Asher Miner ns
general inspector of rifle practice with
the rank of colonel, was received with
Intense satisfaction by everybody. The
afternoon papers voiced pnpulnr senti
ment In everything they snld In com
mendation of this appointment. Colonel
Miner has nn admirable record of eight
years' service In the Ninth regiment.
National Guards of Pennsylvania. lie
entered that command as a private in
Company P and worked his way tip
through tho various grades until he
reached the captaincy of tho company,
which position he held for about three
years. His comnnny, under his effi
cient care nnd discipline, attained the
highest standard of proficiency. Apart
from his splendid military qualities,
Colonel Miner oecunies an enviable
position as one of the leading young
business men of the valley, and as a
citizen takes high rank. The Tribune
agrees with the Evening Lender that
nowhere in the state could the gover
nor havp found a man better cunlifled
for the office, nor one whose appoint
ment would have reflected greater
credit upon the staff of tho commander-in-chief.
The people of Luzerne feel
that they have been honored In com
mon with Colonel Miner In this selec
tion for nn honorable nnd responsible
position In the state's mllltnry service.
New I'oorhoitMO Building.
The board of poor directors of the
Wllkes-Barre district held a meeting at
the poorhouse at Itetrer.t, on Saturday,
and resolved to erect an additional
building for the oecommodatliln of
male paupers. The structure Is to be
40xS0 feet, three stories, and will cost
$23,000. Eighteen contractors have put
in their hlds and on Wednesday next
the contract will be awarded to the
lowest bidder. The additional aocom-
modatkms have become necessary for
tho proper care of the indigent In the
district, and the directors are generally
commended for the . step they have
taken. The board is composed of Louis
Fiseh and Max Long, of Wllkes-Barre;
S. W. Davenport, of Plymouth; O. B.
MoKnlght, of Plains'; Abram Nesbltt, of
Kingston) N. Bellas, of Newport; John
Opllnger, of Nnntlooko, and S. J3.
Vaughn, of Dorraneeton.,
Tho r.lty Hospital.
Tho Wlliies-Barre City hospital has
been steadily growing and has now be
come nn extensive Institution. During
the month of April the patients aver
aged fifty-nine per, day, and with at
tendants, pupils in 'the training school,
servants" and all the hospital, had an
average of bout 100 pcoplei If the hos
pitl should fall to receive the usual
state appropriation - for the next two
years liberal private subscriptions will
have to be secured if the usefulness of
DoWd the
the institution is to be maintained. The
people of Wilkos-Barre will not permit
this excellent 'hoapltal to suffer for
want of means.
A CADET FOR WEST POINT.
Congressman l.ciscnrhig Provides for a
Competitive 1 xnmlnation.
Hon. John Lelsenrlng, the represent
ative from this district In congress, has
wisely decided mot to make his ap
Mintinent of a cadet to West Point a
personal or political matter, but to give
the prize to the boy who Bhall prove
himself best quallllril nnd most descry.
Ing of it. Mr. Lelsenrlng has therefore
unnounced that nil aspirants for future
military glory must present themselves
tor a competitive examination nt the
high school building tn this city on
Saturday, May 18. Three well-known
educators of this county will conduct
the examination. On May three phy
slcians will examine the aspirants us to
their physical qualifications and only
those who pass this test will be allowed
to appear for the subsequent examln
ntlon as to their mental nnd educa-
tlonal qualifications. This Is tho
proper policy to pursue, ns It gives to
all ambitious young men an equal
chance without reference to clrcunv
stances or political inlluence. Former
congressmen, for a number of years,
with a single exception, adopted this
fair and honorable method of making
appointments to West Point. May the
brightest young mnn win, regardless of
personal favor or politics.
THE COURT HOUSE YARD.
Ono of tho .Most Insightly Spots In the
City of Wllkcs-Bnrro.
There was a time when the public
square, or rather tho little park stir
rounding the court house, was kept In
repair and was a pretty spot with its
beautiful trees anil well-trimmed l.vwn
It la today one of the most unsightly
places In the city. The present board
of county commissioners have made no
attempt whatever to keep the grounds
In presentable condition. The grass has
been trampled out of existence and the
greater part of the square Is as Imrren
asabuseball diamond. Waste paperand
other refuse matter is strewn around
promiscuously, and no effort made to
clean up the place. All this has the
effect to make tho old court house ap
pear less attractive than it otherwise
would. The county commissioners
should be prevailed upon to ilo some
thing to improve the little park sur
rounding the court house. Why not
plow it up, level It off nnd sow grass
seed on It? If this were done and the
ground protected for a few weeks the
place would sopn present a less often
slve appearance.
POLITICAL POINTERS.
The News Dealer, which Is active In
politics every month In the year, wants
nn early Democratic county conven
tion, and calls upon Chairman Pmoul
ter to make a move In that direction.
The News-Dealer seems to think that
a long campaign would be beneficial
to "what is left of the Pemocratls party
of Luzerne." Colonel Sam Boyd lias on
occasion shown himself possessed of
more political sense than those Demo
eratlc leaders who persistently Ignore
him. The Luzerne Democracy Is In a
bad way, and the News-Pen ler mnn
ought to be given an opportunity to
apply his galvanic battery on It.
According to a local paper, Repre
sentative Griner aspires to congres
sional honors, and contemplates con
testing for the nomination with Con
gressman Lelsenrlng next year. This
is probably a joke.
E. H. Chase, who has just been ap
pointed tax receiver, should be made
the chairman of the county committee
this year if ex-Sheriff Robinson shall
persist In his announced declination to
serve another year. iMr. Chase Is a
splendid organizer and thnt Is tho kind
of chairman the Republican party
needs.
Ex-Pistrlct Attorney Gorman, now
the recognized leader of the Luzerne
Democracy, will undoubtedly be urged
to accept the nomination for congress
next year, but some of his friends say
he will not consent to run. He is young
yet nnd can wait until the Democratic
skies brighten.

England's Voluublo Lesson.
From tho New York Sun.
Englund has taught the American peoplo
a lesson, but not the ono she imagines sho
has taught. They have leaned from this
Nicarnituan affair how great a danger to
American dncldnes and American institu
tions niny eonio from the lack of patriot
ism and common sense In the admlnlstra
tlon in power. They have learned that
their ambassador at, tho court of St.
Jnmos's must bo a man who runs no risk
of becoming tha victim of British hoapltul
1 y. England may havu the credit, If sho
likes, of teaching the American poopl
these tilings, ami she will find In due time
that they have bettered the Instruction.

FREEDOM'S CALL.
Written for The Tribune.
Freemen, awake, arise!
And Fpurn the tyrant's chain,
Who threats In haughty power ;
To bind it on again.
A century nnd moro
We broke It, link from link,
And drove the mighty tyrant then
In discord from our brink.
But still ho lifts his hydra head.
Small powers to ever keep In dread
Wo revolutionized ;
This western land of ours; ;
Led on by Washington ,, .-
We freed It from the powers
Of this same greedy foe. . ;
His faith with us he broke i 4
An ever strove to force us back
Under his galling yoke. ! .
For love of gain no honor found.
He strove again to seize our ground, i
Again was driven back
This ever grasping lord.
This thieving mistress of the sea,
From taking our reward.
The doctrine of Monroe
They ratified; but when
Comes the leapt shadow of a chance
They seek to break again;
And we must now, at any cost,
Hold them In check or all Is lost.
In Nicaragua now
And Venezuela's land, '
He feign In spite of us
Would show his stealthy hand. ' ' '
A firm, bold stand of ours
Will keep him from his plan; tr
So let us bravely onward go
And thw-irt him while we can
To foreign powers this land no mora -By

This cause Is tholr's nnd our's ' '
All should united stand, i !
Resisting foreign powers.
To battle then If needs '

And soon, ah! soon, from all this land
Drive every grasping foe.

Your lethargy throw off

And break for aye this chain of woe.
