STATUS OF THE POLICE. Relations Existing Hot ween Iho Mayor and tho Police Dcpurtmont. Tho predecessors of Mayor F. M. Nichols for many years were quiescent officials who -were content with the fees attached to the olllee and pave themselves little or no concern about municipal Rovernment. Every morn Ins they repaired to police headquar ters and disposed of such persons ns had been run In by the police during he ni?rht. Vice nnd Immorality in the community did not disturb them, and consequently there were no clnshlnfrs between the mayor and cltv council. Three years nsto last February F. M. Nichols was elected to the office of mayor. He regarded the ofllce ns one of honor and responsibility. He be lieved that the chief magistrate of a city of 4n.000 people mltrht make him self useful and outfit to -be a potent factor in municipal Kovernment. Ho further believed that the seven I branches of the city government should co-operate -with him in any proper and legitimate efforts he made to better the community. Councils did not agree with him and there was clashing. Mayor Nichols believed that certain important functions attached to his of fice which ltad 'been Ignored or usurped by council. He took a firm position and attempted to exercise the functions which he believed properly belonged to the mayoralty. He was resisted at ev ery point. Recently, as the readers of The Trib une are aware, -Mayor Nichols inaugur ated a crusade against notorious nouses of vice located In the more prominent localities of the city. Some of these houses had virtually been protected for many years. The mayor undertook to utilize the police In this -work. He claims that the chief, under direction of the police committee of council, re fused to co-operate with the mayor, and In order to carry on his warfare against vice and Immorality he was compelled to appeal to private citizens to make the -necessary complaints to warrant proceedings. This he was able to do In some cases. The police then published a card denying that they h.id received Instructions from the police committee in any way to interfere with the mayor. This did not meet the lisue at all as made -by the mayor, but the latter next addressed a letter to the chief of police asking him if he would make, or cause his subordinates to make, official complaint against certain notorious bawdy houses on their beats. To this the chief has refused to make any reply, end what the decent portion of this community would like to know is why this proper request of the mayor is refused. All he asks Is the co-operation of the police in a commendable ef fort to stamp out vic nnd immorality at least In localities where decent and law-abiding people resicV. The present status t the' police de partment Is such ns Inevitably to lead to the conclusion that the police, under direction of the councilman!-?, commit tee, are standing as a ibreakwater be tween the mayor and the bawdy houses to protect the latter. TO TIIE PENITENTIARY. The Deputy Sheriffs Tako F.lovcn Crim inals to Philadelphia. Tes-terday mornlnpr ait 8 o'clock th wardein of tho county jadl was rellevd of eleven of his prisoners, that num ber being taken to the Eastern peni tentiary. -A Fpecial car was sent by the Lehigh Valley company to the eld ing near the Jail and the prisoners, se curely handcuffed, -were soon trans ferred from their cells to the car and placed In charge of a number of depu ty sheriffs. The prisoners comprised the following: James Hendricks, mur der, twenty years; Frank Neuer. lar ceny, two years; John Jennings as sault and baititery with tutent to r&pe. flv years; Mike Cuddy, felonious wounding, one year and two months; George RedHh, felonious wounding, eighteen months; Anthony Bensett, felonious wounding; eighteen months; (Mike Soorplom, felonious wounding, two years and six months; Frank Smith, felonious wounding, twenty months; Jacob Davagei, felonious wounding and burglary, two years and five months; Alex Perry, breaking'; three years; Joh,nJ Houser, larceny, (two years.

There was a meeting of the Luzerne County Bar association yesterday at noon, mainly for the purpose of receiv ing the report of the censors in the Herring case, he being charged with un professional conduct In connection with the Baldwins. Alex. Farnham presid ed at the meeting. Attorney John T. Lenahan, on behalf of the censors, re ported that they found Mr. Herring not KUllty of any of the four charges in terred against him by Attorney Morris, and they were dismissed. The report vas adopted and ordered placed on the minutes. Attorney Farnham ald It was caused for great regret that the matter had got Into the newspapers, ns it was calculated to Injure the attur nay. The censors are John T. Lennhan, P 'Human J. Strauss and Frank W. AVheaton. The charges against Mr. ITerring were Instigated by the Bald wins, wo it was alleged, and that At torney Morris acted only In his capacity ni counsel for the Baldwins. Mr. Her r'..g stands' exonerated from unprofes- Pimples, blotches, blackheads, red, rough, and oily skin, prevented by Cuticura Soap, the most effect ive skin purifying and beautifying soap in the world, as well as pur est and sweetest for toilet and nur sery.

It Is not likely that the vin dicated attorney has suffered to any ex tent either personally or professionally. A FINE SUCCESS. Mr. Joseph P. II rns as a MnnnRcr-Ro-suits of tho ".Mikado." Amatuer productions of opera are frequently a success in th!3 city from a merely musical etandpo!mt, but sel dom pan out well financially. Tho production of the "Mikado" under the direction and mamagemer.it of Joseph P. Burns last week was not merely a delightful musical success, but was surprisingly bo financially. It was un derstood that the net receipts of tho entertainments would be divided be tween the Vincent d Paul society and the Boys' Industrial association. The treasuries of three two societies will be benefitted to the amount of about $S00. To accomplish this there must have been very careful management and a prudent looking after details. Mr. Burns and his fln a.Kgreigatlon of local singers deserve the congratulations they nre receiving. Candida to for Postmaster, It was the talk on the streets yester day that Editor Bogert, of the Evening Leader, had announced himself a candidate for postmaster and that a number of prominent Democrats had already cither signed his petition or pledged themselves to his support. I'nder Cleveland's first term the late J. K. Hogert. was appointed postmasKer, and when he died his widow succeeded him. She nerved about three years dur ing the Harrison administration, and was then succeeded by Mr. Landmes ser, who very properly retained Mrs. Hogert In the oillce s deputy. If. at the expiration of Mr. Bandmesser's term, the administration shall deem It wise to make a change this community would very much prefer to see 'Mrs. Hogert re-nppolnted. She administered the oillce competently and satisfac torily. . Locking I p Witnesses. a Mayor Nichols does not Intend that Fred Prle shall escape; conviction be cause of the failure of witnesses. He has caused the arrest of four women who frequfin'ted the Grand Central ho tel and who testified at the hearing be fore th? mayor, and unless these wo men can procure bail to aipiwar when the trial comes on they will remain In durance vile. Unfortunately they be long to a ctass who are Inftnttely bet ter off in Jail than running tho streets at night. A Patriotic Sermon. Rev. Dr. Webb's sermon on Sunday evening before ithe Grand Army of the Republic mew and a large congmgaition at the Central Methodist Episcopal church Is very highly commended ns an admirable production replete with patriotic fervor and Christian duty. Dr. Webb Is himself a veteran of the late war, who not only served hhs oountry faithfully, but carries the scars of Confederate bullets oh his body. Injured by a Fall. Edward Thorpe, a bridge carpenter, while at work on a bridge across Solo mon's creek, near Ashley, fell from a ladder and landed on his feet In the shallow fltream. At first he did not ap pear to has sustained any Injury, but after having resumed work he sudden ly experienced almost complete para lysis of the lower limbs and had to be taken -to his home in a carriage.

Taken during pregnancy, the " Prescription " MAKES CHILDBIRTH EASY by preparing the system for parturition, thus assisting Nuture and shortening "labor." The painful ordeal of child birth is robbed of its terrors, and the dangers thereof greatly lessened, to lxtli mother and child. The period of confine ment ia also greatly shortened, the mother strengthened and built up, and an abundant secretion of nourishment for the child promoted.

This is the proper time to build up her strength and cure those weaknesses, or ailments,' which are the cause of her trouble.

Dis. of women, obstretrlce and an.daUdla.ofob.il. c onnolly & Wallace DO NOT BE MISLED BY MISREPRESENTATION IN REGARD TO Printed India WE DESIRE TO SAY-r FIRST That other Swivel Silks advertised at 25c as the best goods or their clas9 produced, is mis' leading. Our goods at 31c. are superior in every respect to these second and third rate goods which arc be ing offered as equals. We did not know that Swivel Silks were an imported article, perhaps they arc; but we don't think it good policy te handle European Swivels when better goods can be had in our own Amer ica. Our Swivels are made in America, by the best maker or these goods in America, and they are sold all over the country and are exported in large quantities to Europe, too. Europeans would not buy American Swivels unless they were better than their own. We have the original and the best American Swivel Silk, AND THE PltlCE IS 31 CENTS. SECONDLY That Printed India Silks offered by us at 37 i-2t arc an irreproachable bargain. They are not the kind that crack and pull, bnt they are or the class that bear the stamp or true merit and are everything we claim them to be. It is a Silk Bargain that never has been known in Scranton before. It cannot be matched by any other house at present, and probably will never be duplicated. The throngs of buyers who have purchased or these two wonderful offerings is the best evidence of their superiority. There arc still good assortments left in both lines. CONNOLLY DR. A. J.

New wheat is now upon the market, and owing to the excessively dry weather many millers ara of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will tako no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three months to mature before grinding. This careful attention to every, detail of milling has placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s 'flour far above other brands. MEGARGEL Wholesale Agents.
