Three men recently registered nt tho Eagle hotel, Norwich, N, Y, who Bub scribed their names as T. J. Gaffney, .T. T. Powers and J. J. Mullen, of Scranton. The Norwich Sun lias this about the kind of a game they wrjfted: 'They represented, they fiatu, ti latgo Philadelphia firm that made a bus.ss' of picture frames, but had recently become tho possessor of a secret by which wondetful results wero obtained In a new process for enlarging pictures. They wctc suio that the quality of the work could but demand the attention of everjone, und the ptice was t,o low pel haps the only existing picture of soma deiir relative or friend and the man would walk nway wl. It, leaving a iccelpt and a promise that tho work would bo delivered ln a shoro time. I Two or three days later another repre- sentatlve of the same firm called. He showed a large line of earnples of plc- ture fiames, nnd said that the firm had sent him to sell a frame for the plctuie that was being enlarged. 'In asmuch as the enlargement was to ba done for nothing, It would be no more than fair for the same firm to sell tho fiame for It, and an examination of the samples and prices showed that the figures asked wero very low. Tho fiame did not h.ue to be paid for until it was delivered with tho picture. A deposit of one uollar as a guarantee of good faith is all that was asked. "Those who paid tho dollar have heard nothing more about It, although three weeks have elapsed." LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

A similar bill was presented by a former Democratic representative from my county, ex-Senator M. 13. McDonald, nnd another of llko character by another of my predecessors, Hon. J. 1. Kelly, who earnestly advocated tho passage of tills legislation. I know, ns they knew, that tho sentiment of tho community ln which I llo Is In favor ot this bill. If this Is a political measure, as Is Claimed by tho opponents of the bill, I dcslro to sny, that I agreo with them; Its origin and birth was with tho Democratic party. Former Senator Gordon was nmoug tho early advocates of this bill, ns was ex Senator Wallace and others who havo figured In Democratic councils. At any rate, tho Democratic members hero should not bo influenced by tho followers of snlto and hate, who nro back of tho opposition of this bill: If these bolting Republicans and tho others who want to build a political organization at our ex pense expect us to blindly follow thcln thoy will find that they nro mistaken.
