REQUISITION REFUSED.
Attorney Nathan Vidaver Bring3
Morris Eppstein Back from
Harrisburg a Free Mnn.
The state department at Harrisburg
yesterday refused tho requisition of
Governor Tanner, of Illinois, for the
extradition of Morris Eppstein, of this
city, wanted In Chicago to answer a
chargo of larceny, preferred by Ed
ward Cohen, a wholesale dry goods
dealer.
Eppstein was arrested two weeks ago
In this city on a telegram from Chief
Colleran, of the Chicago detective bu
reau, Attorney Nathan Vidaver strove
to havo him released on habeas cor
pus proceedings, alleging that there
was nothing on which to hold him.
Judge Gunster continued the hearing
three times to give the police nn oppor
tunity of securing extradition papers
and was about to discharge the pris
oner when word wus received from
Harrisburg that, tho requisition had
been received and that a hearing on
It would be held Tuesday, Aug, 30.
Thereupon Judge Gunster decided to
puroll Eppstein on ball to await tho
action of the stato authorities.
Yesterday's hearing was conducted
by Deputy Attorney General W. F.
Reeder. Sergeant Rowan, of tho Chi
cago detective farce, who has been
despatched to secure Eppstein, pre
sented depositions tending to show
that the necused had stolen from Co
hen's store two sample cases contain
ing silk underwear to the vuluo of
$10S.
Eppstein went on tho stand and tes
tified that he wns In the habit nf buy
ing goods from Cohen on credit and
bought the alleged stolen articles from
the forelady of the store. He took
them out and sold them and was about
to make settlement for them when he
received a telegram from his home, in
this city, announcing the serious Ill
ness, of his mother.
He' waited on Cohen, nnd telling him
thnt because of the necessity of his
returning at once to Scranton he could
only pay him $20 of tho $60 due on the
bill of goods. Cohen refused to take
part payment and threatened Eppstein
with trouble If he did not settle In
full. Eppstein said he couldn't pay
more than $20 nnd when Cohen refused
It a second time left without paying
anything.
Detective Hownn. on cross-examination,
admitted that Cohen had told
him Eppstein wns In tho habit of buy
ing goods from him on credit, and this
coupled with the nbsenco of any di
rect evidence to deny that the fore
lady had sold the goods to Eppstein,
led to the refusal of the requisition.
Word of Eppsteln's release had pre
ceded him, nnd when ho arrived home
last night he was met nt the station
by a largo crowd of his friends who
expressed their Joy at his release In a
a very demonstrative manner.

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.
The New Zealand Rabbit in a
New
Role.
From tho St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A nekphase has been given to the
rabbit scourge In New Zealand by tho
success which has attended the ex
periment of freezing the rabbits and
exporting them. It would appear that
out of what has hitherto been an ap
parently Irremediable curse an Import
ant Industry may bo devolved. One
exporter Is said to be In the receipt of
between lfi.OOO nnd 20,000 rabbits per
day, and Is paying to trappers and In
wnges between $4,000 nnd $.1,000 per
week. Ho has 21.000 traps out, giving
employment to about COO trappers. His
export of rabbits hist year was about
700,000, and this year he will Increase
It to l.noo.OOO. The scale on which this
enterprising exporter In laying out his
plniiB Is further seen In the fact that
he works up Into boxes, In which tho
frozen rabbits are shipped, about eight
truckloads of timber a week, and he
pays over $2,000 a month for freight.
It Is estimated that this season's ex
portation of rabbits will run to be
tween 5,000,000 nnd 0,000,000. This, at
the low price of six cents per rabbit,
will bring In more than $300,000 to the
trappers, and the total amount receiv
ed In the colony, ns the proceeds of the
rabbit export Industry for this season,
will be, at a moderate calculation,
$700,000.
ARE ASKED TO UNITE.
President Martin D. Flaherty of Cen
tral Labor Unon on Proposed
Labor Day Celebration.
Martin D. Flaherty, president of the
Central Labor Union has Issued the
following with reference to the com
ing Labor Day celebration:
To all Labor Unionists In Scranton nnd
vicinity:
Labor's national holiday Is upon us, and
I deem it my duty ns President of the
Central Labor Union of Scranton and vi
cinity to call upon all labor unions Jo
unite upon tho observance ot Labor Day,
Monday, September .1. Every celebration
of this day has added, and will continue)
to add new dignity to our principles and
new strength to our cause. The annual
assembling of our forces and the yearly
dedication of n day to the public display
of our power are no longer experimental,
but have achieved a significance that Is
national and a recognition that Is gen
eral throughout this growing nation, it
is today more than ever Incumbent upon
us nnd year after year will grow nio-e
obligatory to exert our utmost efforts to
Impress upon the minds of all the people
the lights, the purposes and the privi
leges of united labor.
Mindful of these considerations, I wish
to emphasize In this call the necessity i f
every labor union In Scranton, seriously,
and with enthusiasm, to do its part In
making our celebration the success It de
serves to be. Let every organization to
which I have the right and prlvlle-gu to
speak, turn out Its fullest possible
strength in the Labor Day parade. There
should be no Indifference or no forget
fulness of what the day stands for. By
your banners, and your Hags, and your
bearing In the public eye, you should
show your zeal and unanimity In tho com
mon cause. If we have suffered from the
business depression, we have not lost
heart, and we never have forgotten tho
strength that lies In union and tho fu
tuie that Is certainly opening up for us.
Anil from our appearance on tho streets
of Scranton, the people should be able to
know that we are llrm and determined
and of one faith In the ultimate princi
ples for the promulgation of which we
have organized. We owe It to ourselves.
and our children, and our nation, that
we shoud observe tills Labor Day, that
even the most Indifferent and least
thoughtful person lu Fernnton shall onco
more be impressed with our strength and
our enthusiasm.
Upon this Labor Day more than anv
other we have ever eelebratixl. we should
bear with pride and zeal the Hag of our
country, considering that at this mo
ment that it Is more respected and more
feared the world over than ever ' was
In the history of the nation. It Is our
Mag. and on the eve of u greater career
for Old Glory, let us not suppress a sin
gle thrill of feeling thut the stars and
stripes can Inspire In us,
To our mass meeting and picnic f wish
to call the attention of nil members of
labor organizations nnd the public gen
erally, and, though scarcely necessary,
1 urge upon all their duty of attending
and help to make It a signal success.
This feature of the day's celebration will
be he-Id at Laurel Mill Iark. Speeches
will bo dellverctl by able speakers on
timely subjects. Tile speakers for tho
day and evening are Mr. Frank Morrison,
secretnry of the American Federation e.f

WALK IN AND
COLD TEA FOR SOLDIERS.
Very Beneficial on .Long Marches,
and Might Well Be Tried in Cuba.
From the Medical Record.
The late Mr. lErnest Hart was n
strong advocate of what he termed the
"doctrine of the tea Kettle and many
distinguished Indian commanders: have
testified In favor of tea for quenching
soldiers' thirst when on a long march
in equatorial lands. The men under
the leadership of Sir Herbert Kitchener
during the recent campaign In the Sou
dan were allowed no nlcohollc stimu
lants, whatever, but performed their
long journey through the desert, end
ing with victory nt Albara, on cold
tea.
The Scientific American of May 2 has
an article lauding the refreshing qual
ities of cold teu, In which It says that
"one of the most elllcaclous ways of
quenching thirst, when there Is a
strong pressure for uninterrupted not
ion on the part of the soldier. Is to fill
his canteen with ten. Of course this
would be made from boiled water, and
the nddltlon of a few drops of lemon
juice would Increase Its power of ex
citing the sallvar glands to greater
activity and It Is nn expedient often
resorted to when It Is deslrnble that
the least possible amount of liquid
should be Ingested.
"Tho use of tea Is still further ap
proved by the testimony of experience.
Sir John Hall says: "In the Kalllr war
(1S82) a march was made by 200 men,
In which 1,000 miles were covered In
seventy-one days, or at the rate of
fifteen miles a day, without wines, spir
its or beer. Officers In India, when
marches were made through malarious
regions, had an opportunity to test tho
virtue of tea. Ijrd Wolseley urges Its
use, and the experience of the Canada
lumbermen confirms Its value. They
spend the winter In the backwoods
In the hardest sort of labor, and ure
exposed to freezing temperatures.
While no spirits are allowed, they have
an unlimited supply of tea."
Tho fact has been conclusively proved
that, when men nre undergoing severe
exertion In extremes of temperature,
alcohol In any form Is not only unne
cessary but Is absolutely Injurious. Tea
Infused In boiling water Is certainly
more palatable than Insipid Uolllng
water, ns well as being practically
harmless. Therefore there would seem
to be no reason why our army in Cuba
should not follow the example of their
British brothers In armies In India and
Egypt, und march and fight Invigor
ated by cold tea.
LIVING ABROAD.
How It Happens Uhat Americans Re
port It to Bo Cheap.
From Going Abroad.
If a man tells you living 1 cheaper
In Europe than America, ask him to
prove It Item by Item. Don't nccept ns
proof his statement, doubtless true,
that be lias spent less lu a year abroad
than In a year at home. Make him go
into details. If he kept house, did ho
hpve n bathroom, with hot and cold
water? Wus thoro a range In tho
kitchen? Wns the house healed by hot
Tlr, hot water or steam? If It was an
apartment house, did It havo an ele
vator? Were there set tubs In tho
laundry.
Ten to one you will force htm to con
fess that In these details and others ho
did not havo In Europe the conven
iences ho thinks he can not live with
out In America. Try him on the mut
ter of food, and lie will admit that,
taking an average of all the raw ma
terials he has bought, the European
cost has not differed much from tho
American. Ask him about clothing,
and nt last he will smile triumphantly,
and tell you how cheaply he bought a
suit In London or gloves In Naples;
but do you demand, "How did they
wear, and how did they fit?" Then he
will evade again.
The nsserllon that living abroad ii
cheaper than here Is n halt truth, de
ceptive and dangerous. Undoubtedly,
most Americans who go abroad llvo

cheaper than nt home, but the reason
Is simply that they are contented with
less. From necessity or without un
hnpplness they dispense with ninny
things that In Amerlcn they deem In
dispensable either for bodily comfort
or to maintain social position. In New
York, Philadelphia eir Boston tho
mti.U dwell In tho aristocratic quarter;
In Paris or Berlin or Vienna it mutters
not where they dwell, so long as the
surrroundlngs are not squalid. In
Rome even thnt matters little, nnd
because It was once n "palace " a dir
ty, crumbling tenement house mny,
without disgrace, shelter an American
