LUZERNE IS HAVING BOTHER.
Census Put It Into Class by Itself tor
Which Theie Is No Salaiy Law.

working ti sunn' bother ovei the cen
sus lemiltK. According- to one of her
most pioiniiuiU attoine.v.s, Cii-tngu B.
Kulp, thPie is no .salaiy law for coun
ties of the population 01' Lansc-ine ami
tin1 enioluments of various of lis ofll
ieiH, in consequence, will be about
tloubleii by hnvliiK to fall buck on the
old fee system.
There .tie .sulary acts for 1 utilities
containing over SOO.OiKl inhabitants, for
counties having less than JOU.Oiil) ami
moi e than .iOO.uuo and Lounlie.s with
ie.ss than 2'.fl,00U ami moie than b'0,000,
but none tor the class between 2."0,00i)
ami 300,001), in which I.ussernp county
has been placed by the last census,
An net ol asssinbly passed Mnich SI,
ISIfi, and applying to I'ountles with
less than 300.000 and more than S.'.O.uOO
Inhabitants va.s lepealed by an act of
Muy 11, 1S91, and made to apply to
counties having less than ',00,000 and
more than 300,000 Inhabitant. No pro-
Islon was made lor taking caic of the
gap that the ic-classifylng occasioned
and hence Luzerne's bothi'i.
If an ofllcci' Is salaileil, the fees of
his oflice must be paid to the county
treasuior. It not salaried, he receives
ark fees, out of which he pays his
(ioiks, etc. Under the fee system the
fees of the dlstilct attorney and cleik
of the courts would be about double
the .sum' pinviiled by the salary act,
Tho fees pf the piothonotary would
about pay the salaries. It Is believed
tho law will hn lemedled at the next
session of the legislatuie.
RECEPTION AT THE CATHEDRAL
Nearly 100 Young Women Join he

A most lmpiesslvo eeiemony took

the very dooi.s, a huge number of
those piesent being members of the

tlon there was benediction of the most
blessed sacrament and an eloquent
sermon by How Father O'Donnell, of
Oreat nend, who spoko upon tho devo
tion of Catholics to tho lllessed Vligln.
An inspiring foatutu of tho services
was the rendering of several hymns,
among others "Holy Clod, We Praise

to largely incense the city's leventies

hae a tcndeiiev to hugely reduce the

that tho unlicensed dealeis liao been

This would mean a lovenup from this
souice of "JtTC.OOn. or twice as much as
It Is at piesent. This Is exclusive of
the brow ei y licenses, which will add
enough to make it lair to say that in
lotind numbus the lliiuoi icvenues

amounted to $101,140 last jeai. Alle

The present occupation tax Is abol

SECOND-CLASS CITY.
City Cleik Lavelle Believes It Is Not
Advl&able to Go Into That
Class at This Time.
nARTIN T. LAVE1.LI:,
Citj Cluk of .scmnton.
IMlIm ot 'Hip Tilbwit
Sir: I am most lieaitlly in favor of
tho .suggestion mude to keep Scianton
In tlm thlid class by amending the
classification act to make the limit of
population for tlilid-clas.s cities 123,000
instead of 100,000, as at piesent.
I'm In tnvor of this plan because I
don't think It possible for Hctanton, for
ten yeais at least, to enter the same
class as tho wealthy cities of Allegheny
unci ritsbuig, especially the hitter,
These cities ate not only wealthy but
they aio old, Plttsbuig Inning been a
city and quite u large one when Scrnn
ton wah as yet known as Slocum Hol
low. The older a city, the moie permanent
Improvements It has got. Anybody will
admit that. Go to Pittsburg and Alle
gheny and you'll tlnd their stieots
neaily all seweied and paved. Heie In
Scianton wo'va only begun to sower
and pave, Wo haven't got a thlid of
the city's streets seweiecl yet.
I tell you that tho pxpenso of sewer
ing and paving thlb city in the mm ten
years Is going to bo a eiy hlrf item of
expense, far larger than many peophi
Imagine. Them is nobody who has made
a cuieful study of tho opeiatlon or the
second-class city law in Plttsbuig and
Allegheny who does not know that if
It was applied to fei anion It would
mean a ticniondous added expense
eveiy jeur.
What would be tho lesult If wo did
enter tho second class We would either
have to give up our hew ei lug and pav
ing, and who Is them that believes we
should do this, or put tho taxoayera
under u burden of uuuecessailly heavy
taxes? Unnecessarily heavy because
there is no sensible teason why wo
should go Into the second class If we
can prevent it, and 1 think we can.
Them are theorists who contend that
we huvo been hampered too long by
being in a class with the smull cities of
the state, and that It has been impos-
Rlble to pass any legislation favorable
to tho latgc thlril-chies cities. I'd ilka
to be told when any nttempt was made
to put thiottgh nny tlili-d-class legisla
tion fnvmnlit' lo Pcinntoii or any of
tho ollirr lingo cltlrs. t don't know of
any such atteinpl,
I'm not coiitcndlhir that the piesent
tlilid-cliiRs city law Is nil that could be
deslipd for Hcuinton, but It's better
than the second-class city taw. Why
itipii't our local repiesenlatlvcs In the
leglplatiiro told to go down to Ha 11 Is
btiifftiiid hno (he taw amended so that
It will lit our needs? Tlmt's what
should be done, nnd the citizens of this
city should see that one of thorn Intio
duceH nn amendment which will keep
Scranton In the thlid class.
t don't agipo itt all with thoie who
dilate upon the wotiilciful lienelltn
which will nun iu to this elty If wo go
Into the second class, We would rank
with Plttsbuig, to be suie, but that's
nierelv an empty honor, nothing 111010.

INCIDENTALLY A COUPLE
GOOD HUNTING STORIES.
OF
Chief Cleric Tobey, of the Coal De
partment of the D., L. & W. Co.
Amused Anticipations Which Alas,
Weie Not Realized Professor John
Boamnont Had an Odd Experience
at a Raffle City Assessor Kins
land Saw Things Thanksgiving
Day Which Don't Happen Often.
Although not 11 gieat many peisotis
aio uwaie of the fact.Chaile.s L. Tobey,
chief clerk of Supeilntondent Loomls,
or the coal department of the Dola
wam, Lackawanna nnd Western rail
road, Is a hunter of renown. When we
sny that not ninny persons am nvvaio
of the fact, all people outside of the
Lackawanna station ale meant, tut In
side the building's tour walls, Mr.
Toboy's fame has long been established.
When he lionchtilnntly leiinitkod on
tho day befoio Thanksgiving that he
would spend the national holiday In
put suing festive game In Stisquehnnna,
visions of venison (linnet s tloated be
foio tho eyes of nil his friends, and a
prominent member of the transpoita
tlon olllee penetously ofleted to put at
the Nhni oil's disposal an pxtin freight
car or two to cany the victims of his
plow ess, The mfiisal of the genial head
cleik of the offer was considered at the
time to be only another Instance of a
"man trying to hide his light under u
bushel."
Filday motniiig Mr. Tobey was a
little late In ui living at the station,
and when he cntomd his office he found
It thionged with heads of depaitments,
chief cieiks anil even otllco boys, with
eager, expectant looks on their faces
for the promised game. Dut alas! dis
appointment awaited them all, as
Thanksgiving proved a Waterloo. Bal
iiklava and (.lottysbuig combined, and
not a single blpid or quadtupi'd was
bagged by the spoilsman.
-Mr. Tobey managed, however, to as
suage the gilef of his venison-hungry
colleagues, and still icinalns one of the
most popular men in the "Lackawanna
station.
He was funnel ly one of the chief
cieiks in tlie Etio station at Xevvuik,
X. J., and came to this city with Super
intendent Loomls. He has acquired
hosts of ftiends heie by his constunt
good humor and amiability, and is one
of the leadinu spiiiis In the Oieeu
Hidge camp of Model u Woodmen, where
his peiseveiance and industiv hi get

Plot, .lolin lienumont, piliulpal of
Xo S school. 1 elates a tin Ming ex
pel iente which happeti"d lo him m
lentlv, and one which he will not soon
foigot. It happened at a tuikey laf
lle the cither night in West Scianton,
John had distanced all of his compe
tltois in shaking tor a handsome 20
pound 'blid. and he piottdlv tucked the
ttukiy under his aim and stinted
home, .vlth visions of a swell Thanks
giving dinner looming up before hlin
hn he had 1 cached the door ot
the liu-sleliv, a iiumbr ot the boys
tried to put tlie turkey up for another
niflle, but he declined. While his r.t
tion was diiectod fiom the blid, one
of the cuowd satmated the tuikej's
tall with alcohol mid appll"d a match.
Instantly them 111 osv a blue ilanv1

The piofessor dioppul his pil?e like
a hot potato, and tor .1 minute n li'o
Iv si iambic ensued among the ciowd
in quenching tlie tlimes on tho tall
ot tlie tuikey. FoitumuPly, the dain
ige was slight, bill LVaumoiit was In
consolable. Piesently an old soldier,
who admimd tho tuikey, lesardless of
his damaged tall, came foiwnrd and
offered Hip piofossor 5J as a balm for
his milled leellngs, and can led oil the

tity Assessor Itiiisland is a gtear
hunter and also a gieat nanator or
talcs ot' the chase. His latest hunting
stoiy Is a veiy good on, in tact, sev
eial who have heaid It pionouiue it
to be the star effoit of his stoiy-telllnii
earner. Phil was out hunting on
Thanksgiving day at Dalevllle with Dr.
Uti'Wster, Lance Depew and a dog,
and it is concerning this expedition
that he imitates about.
"We hud had pietty good luck," sa s
he, 'and had bagged sevetal of a big
floik of quail vvlton the dog dlsap
peamJ. AVheie he went we did not
know. We ssuiched heie, theie and
c-vc-iywheie tor the animal, but not a
truce of him could we discover. We
tuu ked up and down the Ileitis for
over a mile In eveiy dliectlon heroic
we (limllv found him.
"He was standing on u small nick
looking Intently at patch of brush and
when we called to him he did not move,
but kept his oyes riveted on the hi ush.
Depow wont over close to tho dog, but
he never moved.
" Them's something In tills bitlsli,
bo)s,' said Lame, as lie? stalled to feci
aiound 111 It with his hands. As he
did so them was a whliring sound and
up arose a beautiful qimil as .swift us
an u now. Xow, quails when they liso
Into the ulr do so veiy quickly, so
that all ou can see Is a whlil of
brown. In this Instance, however, we
mckoiifjd without the dog, for tho In
stant the quail put In an appeal anco
ho gave a (lying leap into the nir al
ter her and caught the blui's legs in
his teeth, bringing her to eaith.
"It was the most wonderful thing of
Its kind I over saw and the other gen
tlemen hi the party wilt bear out that
what I say is true. The dog had come
upon Hie blid hi the biuah and had
kept watching It for upwards ot an
hour. Wo couldn't believe our "eyes at
