Supervisor James Ward, of Lacka
wanna township, was the cause of a
delay in the street car traffic on the
Moosic line yesterday mornjng for three
hours. He had a gang of men out re
pairing the road along which the car
runs and had in operation a steam plow
or an electric plow of some kind of an
instrument that dug up the road and
covered up the rals so that it took three
hours to clean them oft so that the cars
could pass.
A warrant was sworn out before Al
derman Millar for Ward's arrest and he
was held to ball In the sum of $300 for
his appearance at court. It Is alleged
that the tracks were covered as a spite
action, because John Walsh, who Is
indioted for tapping the wires and ob
taining electricity for his rheumatics,
Is a friend of the Bupsrvisor. The war
rant was Issued under an old law which
makes It costly to any one Interfering

of 11,000 and 10 years in penitentiary,

NOT RESPONSIBLE.
An Editor Kvplnius Why a Disclaimer
Appeared in His Paper.
A Stur reporter was talking with a
southern editor visiting in Washington
and during the conversation the editor
handed the reporter a copy of his paper
to look at and compare with the met
ropolitan journals. It was an eight-
column country weekly and had no dis
tinguishing marks save one paragraph
at the head of the editorial columns,
which read: "The editor under no cir
cumstances shall be held personally re
sponsible for communications appear
ing In this paper."
"That suggests a reason why It
should be there," said the reporter.
"I don't know," replied the editor,
"that It does any good, but I have had
It there for ten years and It shall re
main as long as I am the editor."
"And the reason?"
"Good enough, I think, in the begin
ning. A dozen years ago I took the pa
per, and I used to print a lot of com
munications from all sorts of people on
all sorts of subjects, and while I didn't
exactly assume personal responsibility
for them, I sed to stand between the
writers and the subjects as far as pos
sible. One week during the winter
something got in about one George B.
Blank, a man I never heard of, and the
article Itself was, I thought. In the na
ture of a compliment. Two days after
It appeared I was in my office alone,
when a little, Bhort, dricd-up kind of a
chap came In, and, slipping the bolt on
the door, walked Up to my desk and
planted himself about Six feet from me.
I looked up, smiled, as I usually did on
visitors, and asked him what I could
do for him.
" 'My name,' he said; without return
ing my salutation, 'Is George B. Blank,
the same mentioned,, In your paper of
last Issue, and I have come In to pay
you for it.'
" 'There's no pay, I .Assure you, Mr.
Blank I replied. 'On the contrary, I
was glad to print It'
" 'You are personally responsible for
it, I suppose?' he went on.
" 'Certainly. Why not?'
" 'That's why I want to pay for it,' he
sail, angrily, and before I could make
a move he had me covered with a huge
revolver. 'Don't get up,' he went on,
as I made a movement, I'm going to
kill you, and can do It just as well where
you alt,'
"I could see now by his wavering
eyes that the man was crazy, and I was
so unnerved that for a moment I
couldnt' move hand or foot, Just as you
feel In a bad dream.
" 'You wouldn't shoot a man unarm
ed and helpless, would you?' I asked,
gazing straight Into his eyes, as they
do with lunatics, for I thought I might
beat him that way.
" 'It Is quite Immaterial to me,' he
laughed, and pulled the trigger.
"But the revolver snapped, and as It
did so he laughed again.
" 'Don't feel disappointed,' he said,
pleasantly; 'there are four more cart
ridges left and they won't all miss Are.'
"As he tinkered a moment with the
pistol, keeping it trained on me, a form
that one of the boys had Bet by the
stove to thaw out yielded to the heat,
and the type In It went to the floor with
a crash. It came so suddenly that my
visitor looked around quickly to see
what It was, and that Instant I made
a Jump for him and caught his pistol
arm. Physically, he was no match for
me, and in a minute I had the revolver
out of the way and had htm pinned to
the floor, where I choked him Into In
sensibility. Then I unlocked the door
and called for help, and my visitor was
handed over to the. town marshal and
locked up. Later I learned that some
years before Mr. Blank had run for
office and had been crazed by the news
paper fight against htm, and he had
sworn to kill the next man who put his
name in the paper. That happened to
be me, and he evidently Intended to
keep his word, and would have kept it
if the gun hadn't snapped. The only
real satisfaction 1 got out of it," laugh
ed the editor, In conclusion, "was to
print the notice you have called my
attention to and to lick the blamed fool
that sent In the communication as a
nice little joke on the editor."
For Ladies Only.
It Is patent to all thinking people

An Excess of Politeness.
They tell it of a member of a well-known
club that he never, under any circum
stances, forgets to be polite. The rrla.
tlons between the gentleman and his wlfj
have been strained for years. Last week
matters culminated In a row which re
sulted In a separation. When the war
of words was at Its height the wife cried
bitterly: ,
"Then you love mo no longer?"
"Madame," replied the husband, with lus
very best bow, "I have that happiness."
Even In that trying moment he knew
how to live up to his reputation, TldJUti,

CUTTING THE TONSILS.
It Is an Opcrntion Which Is Attended
with Dnuger.
There seems to be a general Impres
sion that there Is little or no danger at
tending the removal of the tonsils, and
Instruments for this purpose are' found
in the possession of every practitioner
In the land. An eminent surgeon de
clares that removing the tonsils Is an
oeratlon attended with a great deal of
risk. One reason for this seems to be
that In cutting there Is danger of ap
proaching near the large arteries, or, at
all events, tapping small veins that may
cuusc alarming hemorrhage.
This physician gives an account of
the removal of the tonsils from the
throat of a boy, when he was obliged to
hold the parts with his Angers for sev
eral hours, to arrest the hemorrhage
that threatened the youth's life, as he
had no appliances at hand for checking
the hemorrhage, which was entirely unlooked-for.
He says It Is as well to be
very wary In cutting the tonsils at all,
and not to operate upon them unless It
Is absolutely necessary, and then only
remove a sufficient surface to relieve
the mechanical obstruction caused by
their, enlargement. Popular Science
