JUDGE SMITH
ON THE BENCH
HIS TIKST APPEABANCE
OVER A YEAR.
IN
Has Been Seriously 111 but Now
Seems to Bo Very Much Imprived.
Dunleavy Caso Was Argued by At
torney II. J. Martin and ex-Dls-trlct
Attorney John B. Jones.
Seeking to Quash tho Appeal in
tho Spcllman and Jones Case
Against tho City.
Judge P. P. Smith made his appear
anco on the Huperlor totttt bench nt
yostoiday s session In this city, utter
nn absence of over a ye.ir on account
of Illness. He looked an it he liutl
about won his way back to health,
but his voice Is not flS StlOllg us It
was.
Thu first case taken up was thut o
tho commonwealth against Moikiiii II.
Jlowollr, an appeal by How ells fiotn
n decision of the quuitcr sessions of
Luzerne county. Howells was Indicted
for Imitating the labels of u dun?
manufacturing company. lie sought
to have the Indictment quashed, but
the couit of Luzerne icfused to do this
and an appeal was taken to the Pu
peilor court. Attorney John M. Oar
man argued the case for Howell an 1
M. J. Mulhall, late nsslstunt district
attorney of Luzerne, for tho common
wealth. The case of the giente.st local in
terest nrRUcd was tho appeal of A. L.
Dunleavey fioni tho iccent sentence
by Judge It. W. Archb.ild for selling
liquor without a llccns?. Dunleavy
was convicted before Judge Love, of
Uellefonte, ut the October session of
selling liquor withouL a license. Judge
Love suspended sentence upon pay
ment of costs, but ut the December
session Dunleavy was called befoit
Judge Archibald and sentenced to thtcvj
months Imprisonment in the county
J ill nnd a line of $r00. Troni this ac
tion an appeal was taken to the riu
peilor court.
MARTIN'S ARGUMENT.
H wus contended at the argument
yesteulay by Attorney M. J. Mai tin,
who appealed for Dunleavey, that the
action of Judge Archbald should be
reversed for two leasons:
"First He was not the Judge who
presided over the tilal which resulted
In tho conviction of the defendant and
therofoto could not sentence a mun
who was not tried before him.
"Second Tho trial Judge before
whom the delendaut was tried and
during the teim nt which he was tiled
halng directed him to pay the costs
and thereupon the sentence be Inde
finitely suspended, we contend thcie
was no authority In the president
ludge nt u subsequent tctin of court to
call the defendant In and Impose a dif
ferent and mote seete sentence upon
him."
In leply, ex-Dlstilct Attorney John
R. Jones, who appeared for the com
monwealth, .said he thought both of
these contentions ladlcally unsound
and that neither of them was .sus
tained by tho nuthoitties quoted. IIu
thought tho whole aigumcnt In be

REAL VALUE
OF NUT FOOD
INVESTIGATED BY THE DE
PARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
The Varieties Most Commonly Seen
In This Country Composition of
the Various Kinds Are Nuts In
digestible? The Misnamed Peanut
and Its Many Uses.
l'roin tint Washington Stir
The year-book of the department of
ngricultuie contains the results of it
numbet of experiments nmtlo dining
tho past yen i with a .lew to determin
ing the food vulue of nuts. They do
not sustain tho claim that nuts ,iro
full of nutiltlon. Tho following state
ments, concerning tho general charac
teristics of the nut commonly eaten
In this country nte chiefly taken from
tho report of tho studios at the Maine
station:
The almond Is u favorite dofiPClt nut
in this country. lly far the lurger
pait of the almonds consumed Is sup
plied by Trance, Italy nnd Spain. Call
lot nln, however, has grown the al
mond sucessfully, and the output of
thl nop Is annually lnci easing.
The Ri ii7ll nut, ns Its name Indi
cates, Is a native of lltns'll, whence It
Is evpoitcd In large quantities. It hat
not been sucessfully giown In the
United fstate. It is chiefly ued as a
dessert nut.
The lilbprts found In our miikcts
am chiefly vailetles and eTo-o-es of
two species. The native hazels are
smaller than the Ruroreun nuts, but
have an agreeable flavor. The fil
bert Is chiefly used as n des'ert nut.
but the ground nut Is sometimes usl
for confectionery and in other ways.
In some L'uroprun counttles wheto It
grows abundantly, a fcort of bread is
made from tho giound nut.
THi: HICKORY NUT
Th hickory nut, under which ami
cm al name aic lncludi'd the nuts of
foieral species of nnlle 'treses, of
which the shagbaik Is tho most lim-
portaut. Is- onu of our best-known
nuts. Tho quality of tho hickory nut
Is exceedingly variable, both In llnvor
and In the readiness wllh which the
shell may bo removed. The bettor
vailetles nre highly esteemed, ami by
mnny are considered to compare
favorably In delicacy of flavor with
the Rngllsli walnut. Latgo quanti
ties of the nuts are eaten, nnd th"y
are .sometimes used in m'tklng cake)
nnd confectionery. Theie Is tomo con
fusion legal ding the name of this
nut. In some ngions of Xew Ihig
Innd it Is known ns the wah.ul, while
the nut more genetnlly known in the
fulled States as the walnut, which
glows onlj spailngly In New Ihigland
is designated the black walnut.
The pecan I" also a native of Amerl
ca, but Is less widely distributed than
the hickoiy, to which It Is closely re
lated. The llavor of the pecan makes
It a elcslrable nut. but It doubtless
owes much of Its populnilty to Its
chin tholl and tho case with which the
kt'tnnl may be remoed. It Is largely
UM'd as n eles-heit nut.
The English, or more piopeily, Per
sian walnut, his been successfully
culllwitod In M'sctal legions of tho
United States. It Is of AM ttie orlein,
but owing to Its geneiitl e'eellelier,
It enily won Its way to popular favor
leaching England about the middle of
the bUteenth century. It is a favorite
elessei t nut, nnd is also ui-ed by con
fectioners In many ways.
THE COMMON' WALXCT.
What Is most generally known as
the walnut In the United State-' Is i
huge nut. lich In oil, nnd lias a
strongl) maiked llinor. This nut is
somewhat used by confn tloneis Tho
butternut, oil nut or white walnut, is
extremely oil and has a tendency to
become rancid. The fit?!) nut has an
excellent flavor. It is les-s commonly
maiketid than .some other natle ntit.c.
Th bech nut Is the fiult of a foren
tiee common In the eastern half ot tho
United State". The nuts mo sweet
anil of veiy ngieeable flavor. Owing
to their small size t'P.d tho consequent
dlftieull) of gathering them, only a
limited amount i caches the maihet.
The pistachio, nlthrugh a native of
Syiia, has Ion,? hen eulllvntod In
routhern Europe, whence most of the
nuts eaten In this couutty aie ob
tained. II has been giown lo a lim
ited o.Menl In the United Statu'. The

are used by confectlonois foi uuiklug
salted peanuts nnd vaiiott forms ot

The chestnut dlifers materially from
the siv nuts mentioned above ns most

"There you go Jumping at wild con

Impatiently. "That Is the thing to
