HOME EXOTJBSION TODAY. Many Soraatonians Will Spend the Day in Binghamton. tho Home for the Friendless excur sion will leave tho Delawate, Lacka wanna and Westein station this morn ing at S.30 o'clock; returning leaving Binghamton at 6 o'clock. The mali ngers have been working very hard during the last fortnight and havo made large advance sales of tickets. It Is expected that the largest putron age ever extended to this most popu lar object will be accorded on this oc casion. It Is an excursion always patronized by representative people of the city, and Is probably the best conducted affair of the kind which ever goes out from here. More than all, it' Is the means of support most depended upon by the Home. Tho dollars received from this excur sion furnish more than half the cur rent expenses of tho year. Now, when every cent which is contributed Is needed to keep up tho Interest on the debt and reduce It as fast as possible, the excursion funds arc tho basis of great hopes. If the sum will reach $1,000, the delight of all concerned will be unbounded. It is hoped that every friend of the Homo will buy one or moro tickets to this excursion. Every dollar thus ex pended will help the Institution, and oven If they are not used, the monr-y thus expended will be most gratefully appreciated, iieip the Home. WOMAN SHOP-LIFTER CAUGHT Arrested in Goldsmith's Bazaar, Carrying Stolon Shirt Waist. Patrolman Parry was yesterday af ternoon called into Goldsmith's Bazaar, on Lackawanna avenue, and a woman was thcio given into his charge, who had been caught In the act of shop lifting.

Herotoforo County Commissioners Havo Ootnpolled Thorn to Mako tho Military Enrollment Without Compensation Othor Than That Which Thsy Got for Making tho Assessment Foot-front IUtlo' Up Again Rules to Rovoko Liquor Licenses Big Divorce List. County assessors' are entitled to extra pay for making tho military enroll ment at tho rate of three cents per name. Such was tho decision of Judges Archbald, Edwards and Kelly, made yesterday in the case of D. H. Wntklns against the county of Lackawanna. The nssessors arc allowed $2 a day to make tho county assessment. The act of 1887 providing for the military enrollment directs that they are to make the enrollment In conjunction with their other work and that they shall bo allowed three cents a name. The Natlonul Guard act of 1899 re enacts most of the act ot 1887, includ ing the enrollment provision. The county commissioners have all along refused to pay the assessors for making the enrollment, on the ground that It was done while they were en gaged In making the assessment, for which latter they received an ample per diem remuneration. Ever asses sor excepting Mr. Wntklns has been content to receive the $2 a dav and sign a paper releasing the county from all liability for the three cents a name for the military enrollment. WATKINo BROUGHT SUIT. Mr. Watklns contended that he was entitled to the enrollment allowance and brought suit to recover. Th" mat ter wns presented In the form of a case stated yesterday ufternoon and the judges summarily gave Judgment In his favor. His claim, extending for a period of four years was $S". Attor ney E. C. Newcomb represented Mr. Watklns. The case of the city of Scranton agnlnst tho estate of Henry Beckett waa another of those argued yesterday afternoon City Solicitor Vosburg ap peared for the city and Attorney W. W. Lathrope for tho estate. The HtL- gatlon grows out of the sewering of Stlpp court and Involves the old foot front question. Tho city filed a lien against the es tate, whereupon the latter filed an afll davlt of defense to which tho city took exceptions. The defense claims that there was an unequal assessment, as ceitaln property on the other side of the court was not assessed at all. The city contends that the property In ques tion extends through to Harrison ave nue, on which there was already a sewer, for the construction of which the owner has already paid an assess ment. Mr. Vosburg argued that this property owner could not be compelleil to pay for two sewers. Other cases were dealt with as fol lows: OTHER CASES DEALT WITH. Argued A. V. Duffy against A. 0.

Has Boon Eleotod Oftener Without Opposition Than Any City Clork in tho United States Big Task That JohnR. Edwards, tho Suporvisor of tho Consus, Has Boforo Him Will Mako tho Industrial Statistics Comploto C. C. Donovan Honored at Mahonoy City. In a conspicuous place In this month'o number ot "City Government" Is a half-tono picture of tho city clerk of Richmond, Va., with an announce ment underneath to tho effect that he enjoys the distinction of being the most unique city official In the country, as ho has been elected city clerk for fifteen' consecutive years, each time without any opposition. The writer ot tho article was In all probability not aware that this city possesses a city clerk In tho person of Martin T. Lavelle, whose record surpasses that of the southern official, as he has been chosen city clerk ot Scranton for twenty years without any opposition whatever. This beats the other man's record by live years, and it might be mentioned that If Martin's picture was printed In "City Government" ho wouldn't be pleased at all, as he Is an exceedingly modest man. Tho services of Martin Lavcllo are considered by each and every one of tho forty-two councilman as Invalu able His long service In his present position has given him an Insight Into municipal affairs that Is not equalled by any man In the city. He Is a verit able walking dictionary of civic Infor mation. This doesn't mean that ho Is merely possessed of a knowledge of facts regarding this city's government and nothing more. He has studied causes and effects; has noted the pol icies which have failed and those which have succeeded; has had an opportun ity of considering at close range the administrations of eight different mayors, and his advice Is therefore often sought after by some of the wisest of our city fathers when an Im portant measure Is pending. Ho Is as regular as clockwork; comes to work at a certain precise hour to tho minute; goes to dinner at another and goes home at another. He has a certain day and hour In the week for doing this kind of work, and a certain day and hour for doing that kind. In tho select council chamber he may be said to Indirectly rule things. If the chairman Is In doubt as to a parlia mentary question, one word from Mart'In settles the point. If a member Isn't sure whether such and such and such a thing Is so and Martin says It Is, well, It Is. As one pioinlnent select councilman put It this year: "Nations may fall and nations may ilse, but Mnrtln Lavelle goes on forever." Mr Lavelle during his odd moments of leisure has read law, es pecially the law pertaining to cltles.and has digested what he read. He has a mind of Judicial turn, and can reel off a verbal opinion on matters peitalnlng to city law with a promptness and cleverness that would astonish many a Judge. The feature of his opinions Is their strong common sense. He be lieves that law to be effective must be based on a common sense view of the subject legislated about. A law that does not stand this supreme test Is not a good law and a law that Is not in terpreted In that way Is not properly Interpreted. Who will say that ho Is not right? He does not believe In tear ing things up every now and then, Just for the sake of a change. He believes that every radical chango In govern ment Is fraught with danger, and that the people ought to be sure they are getting a better article before they cast aside an old law, Supervisor of the Census John R, Edwards Is Just now one of tho busiest men In Lackawanna county, and upon his shoulders rest the responsibility of determining whether or not Scranton Is a city of the second class, Ills corpf of enumeratois have completed the work of filling the schedules contain ing the names of all the residents of Lackawanna, Monroe and Pike coun ties and have made their returns. In addition to going over the schedule", Mr. Edwards will enumerate all of the manufacturing industries in the city, which is in itself an arduous ta&k. Ad ditional time is allowed him by the government for the completion of this part of the v. oik. It Is Mr. Edwards' purpose to have tho Industrial statistics of this city taken with tho greatest care, for ho believes that they can be made of great service to Scranton.
