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

THAT BALDWIN CASE.
Attorney Herring Acquitted by the I.u
rerne Bar Association.
There was a meeting of the Luzerne
County Bar association yesterday at
noon, mainly for the purpose of receiv

Herring case, he being charged with un
professional conduct In connection with
the Baldwins. Alex. Farnham presid

Lenahan, on behalf of the censors, re

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,

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.

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.

of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
Is fully cured. 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

no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
