Election Tibriury 1?.
One of the icniarknhlc tlilnRS tint jmliH will
Riinctlniev do umh shown in the action of the jury
in the c.iio Q(raint William Gordon tlil-f morn
inir. fioidon was iiiiahtncd on charges of selllni?
to inliiow. llrldiict lli.uly v.n the i.ioscuitlon
nwiimt him. She pioduced testimony to piovc
tint Roidoii w.ii ftellinc without .1 llcen-e. The
jmy belicicd it and letuined a itrdht of riiIIIj
in lo tlul ofleu-e. Alinu-t the Mine evidence
was pioduccd at lo the other charges. The ililld
tli.it bought liquor v.h placed on the stand, but
the Jury cildcnlly didn't helieie the testimony
n- to fcunday billins unil fcllini; to niluois. Al
though they remitted on the thaiRc of Helling
without a lit. oust, they letuined a cnlitt of not
cuilty as to fccllliii; on Sunday and to lninoii anl
plated the co-H on the pro'.eculilw I..ii uirdit's
'limes, '
As to the other charges, no evidence
whatever was produced' and the court
instructed the Jury to return the ver
dict of "not t'tiJIty," disposing of the
costs as it saw lit. It having been
shown that the prosecutrix had brought
the charges in the first instance In a
hpirit of spite and that she had after
wards reached an understanding with
the defendant which included the sup
pression of the evidence taken by her
before the grand jury, the jury prompt
ly decided that she bhoulil pay the
costs. It Is a pity that it lacked the
power to impose, in addition, a line for
contempt of court.
Vhy to Vote for Evan R. Morris.
-OTEI1S in Scrunton should not
forget the election of a oily
controller on Tuesday next.
In many of the Democratic
wards spirited lights over ward offices
are on. These are likely to bring out a
large Democratic vote, which yill nat
urally bo of benefit to the candidacy of
Mr. Costello. In some of the Republi
can stronghold wards there are no
lights to bring out the vote and this is
to the disadvantage of Evan It. Morris,
the Republican nominee for controller.
There is just one way by which this
disadvantage can ,be overcome and that
is by Republicans deciding tq do 'their
duty. No particular credit In a party
hense belongs to a voter who votes
when Ills interest is so much aroused
that he could not, if lie would, keen
away from the polls. It is when to
roine out involves some exercise of will
power that fidelity to party is attested.
The oillco of city controller Is oC
great importance and Evan It. Morris
has the ability and experience in city
nlfairs to fill if. satisfactorily. Elect
him and the city will not need to guess
wildly at the amount of its outstand
ing indebtedness. Records will bo kept
in some system in the controller's ofllce
and both olllelals and taxpayeis will
know whore thev are at.
" The Detroit bank wrecker lets him
self down easy by the statement that
ho Is an "example of the speculation
mania." To most people It will loo);
like the peculation mania.
V
Up to Congress,
ONE WEEK from next Monday
is the day fixed for the presi
dential electors of Cuba to
meet in Havana and elect the
first president of the tepubliu of Cuba.
There is no uneeituinly about their
choice. General Raima will bo elected
unanimously. The doubtful part of the
programme conies later.
With the election of a piesldent and
a congress and the members of the
Cuban lower house have already been
elected, the senatorial elections being
near will come .the starting of tiio
new govennrientrJ'a.'lKt, first Monday In
April lias beenrilxen us the duy for the
convening o0he quban congress, The
first duty jir.tbu't Congress, as the
Washington Star points out, will bo to
ratify a treaty with the United States,
embodying In permanent form the stip
ulations of tho Piatt amendment. An
ordinance of the neV Cubun,'constltu
tlon privities , for tho making of tho
treaty, hut It will have to be ratified
by thu Cuban senate before the deal is
eifectuully closed, That treaty will
embody tho following ugreement:
That Cuba shall never enter u treaty
with a foreign nation which will impair
her ratfJTinaenco,
Th&ttcWieM or obligation shall bo as
sumecVhlch'tho revenues of tho Island
will be inadequate to liquidate.
That Cuba shall consent for the
United sfutejs to. Intervene, to preserve
the Independence of tho island.
ThaTiho acts of tho temporary mlll
taryj?overnnient shall bo ratified.
Tlujj exlsilng sanitary plans shall- be
carried out ns far as possible.
Thttt the title to the Isle of PJnes
shaU;be determined by a future treaty.
That the government of Cuba shall
sell or" lease to the United States lands
necessary for coaling or naval stations.
Should the American congress not
provide ere that time substantial relief
for the economic stagnation of Cuba,,
what, reason Is there for believing that
tho'fifciuwi benute would' ratify the
trpinlse( treaty? And if It should rg
V
fu!ta to ratify, what then? Of course
tho United States Is strong enough to
compel ratification or to dissolve the
new government and continue its pres
ent control. But how would that square
with our representations?
Tho situation Is up to our congress.
Marconi estimates that his first wire
less message across tho Atlantic will
require a force of 230,000 volts and will
bo dangerous lo "anyone In the vichtty
of its flight. Tlie plans concerning the
manner In which Marconi Intends to
catch tho volt when It arrives on the
other side of the pond will bo awaited
with Interest.
As to Baggage Inspection.
XJ3 OP tho first olllclul nets o
the now secretnry. of the
treasury, Mr. Shaw, has been
to order a sweeping Investi
gation or the system of baggage in
spection In vogue at the port of Now
York. Complaint!) on this score have
accumulated until something must give
way. Tho customs olilclals have uni
formly denied offering Insults or In
tentional indignity to passengers and
have pleaded that if theie Is fault in
tho system the makers nnd not tho ex
ecutors or the law are the ones to
blame.
In tills plea they are probably right.
Now and then an underfills at tho
wharf may exceed the law's intent; but
In the main the Inspection is within
the limits fixed by the statute. Tho
fault Is in the law. After requiring the
passenger to declare under oatli the
contents of his articles of baggage It
presupposes him guilty of perjury nnd
orders n minute search in the most In
convenient and offensive manner. The
authors of the law defend this system
on the ground that it is absolutely es
sential to prevent wholesale smuggling.
If that be true, then more smuggling is
to be preferred to flagrant imperti
nence at the dock.
Secretary Cage seemed to bo unnec
essarily testy on tills point. Ills suc
cessor comes to the holm unembar
rassed by fixed opinions. He can in
vestigate fairly and conclude justly. If
it shall be established that the law con
fers no discretion on tho administra
tors of customs and that tills offensive
inspection must continue without modi
fication, then it will bo In order for him
to apply lo congress for relief.
In the matter of Cuban reciprocity,
the Lancaster tobacco farmers rise to
exclaim: "How about us?"
Safeguarding the President,
E CITED recently the
comprehensive bill of tho
federal department of
justice to punish at
tempts to take tho life of the president,
vice-president or other officials In line
of succession, and to punish those who
seek to overthrow organized govern
ment. AS drawn and then reviewed it
seemed to leave nothing to be desired.
But ns showing the thoroughness
with which the senate committee on
the judiciary is considering this gen
eral subject nnd the care il is taking
to leave no loophole open whereby
murderously inclined persons may
further their ends, il may be of inter
est to note that this bill has been
favorably reported with two strong
amendments.
The first of those amendments pro
vides that any pet son who shall within
the limits of the United States or any
place subject to the jurisdiction there
of, by spoken woriK or by written or
printed words, uttered or published,
threaten to. kill, or advise or instigate
another to kill the president or vice
president of the United States, or any
officer thereof upon whom the power
and duties of the ofllce of president of
the United States may devolve under
tho Constitution and laws, shall be
punished by imprisonment not exceed
ing ten yeais.
The second amendment authorizes
nnd directs the secretary of war to
select and detail from the regular
army a sufficient number of ofllcers
and men to guard and protect tho pur
son of the president of the United
States without any unnecessary dis
play, and to make special i uiles and
regulations its to dress, aims and
equipment and duties of said guard and
lo publish only such parts of those
rules and regulations ns lie may deem
proper. The additional expenses of the
guard 'so detailed are to bo paid upon
the certification of the secretary ot
war. .
The purpose of each amendment Is
plain. Tho first discourages oven loose
blatherskitlng when aimed at the life
or a man in tho lino of the presidential
succession. The second puts it up to
the secretary of war to guard the per
son of the president, with or without
the president's consent. The amend
ments nre t Intel v.
As expected, "Miss Simplicity," the
opera in which Frank D,anlels appears
at his best, lias been greeted with n
snarl by the New York newspaper
critics. "Miss simplicity" has been ad
mired everywhere as ono or tho bright
est of the modem musical come
dies, but nsvtho book was written by a
Boston man it will not bo tolerated by
the Manhattan critics. The uncon
scious humor of the Now York dram
atic editors Is often more amusing-than
the lines of tho most brilliant librettist.
The piophet who annually predicts
high water in the Susquehanna at
Wllkes-Barro Is about tho only ono
who stands a good chnnco itif being
vindicated by tho elements.
Many of the deaths at the' recent llro
In St. Louis were caused by tho lack of
sufficient equipment In tho way of fire
escapes. Is Scrunton properly safe
guarded In this respect?
New York must bo growing dull to
the average citizen, A week has now
passed without u. dynamite explosion to
enliven things in the vicinity of the
rapid transit tunnel.
Recent weather proves that people
wio have been seeking the north pole
during the pust fortnight might just
as well have staid at home.
Jt seems about time for the "Prince
Ienry",clg(u4p make its apggarancc.-.

MINER'S WIFE CAPTIVATES '
KING EDWARD'S SET
THE Now, York World of Kundity
had tho following with reference
to Samuel New-house, formerly of
this city, and his wife:
WIi.it .jvlll a woman not do for love of a nun?
What does hot a man owe to tueh n woman as
this?
IheBC were my mental reflections as 1 sat chat
time with Mr. Samuel Ncwlloiuo In licr supcibly
appointed diawliig-room at Shetry' a day ot two
tllfO,
Tho opulence of licr prisent existence was
ereitly accented by a most lomantlc story con
ccrnlntf her early married life an extraordinary
titlu of a woman's life In n mlnlnjf camp, and
that woman Ms. Samuel Xcwhome, lntlm.ile
friend of Jin. Ucoikc Keppel and the reigning'
fax onto of luodMi London.
I had heard of Jim. Nowhomo's siincih man
sions in llnjrl.iiid nnd this country, of her enter
tainments attended by injalty, of her gowns, licr
Ictcs, her balls and luxurious Ufa.
I had been told of .Mr'. XcwIiouso'a pe.nK ex
hibited at the lluHalo exposition and purchased
by Mr. Xeuliouso one tiring Jut lonir enough
lo fasten around her tin oat, made tip of gems
'llir.iny has been collecting for twenty years ami
cotlmr n cool $12.5,000 the latest addition to a
collectloh emlcil by queens.
1 had pictured Mrs. Xcnlioibe to myself a fine,
biff, biec7y, ro'y.checked woman well nlona; In
tho forties, a sort of Ifenricttta iloluii ami a nigh
Iyer at fashion.
o
t'noomenlloiiat I assumed sho would be, and
possibly a Utile eccenlilc as lo verbs and tenses,
but her lieait in the light place; and I Knew
that oory leader of the Sunday Woild Magazine
would bo intcro-dod, ns I was, In the personality
of the vomin,who had helped her husband win
out In his light for a foilune against the usual
odds which the ambitious poor jouiig; man is
bound to encounter.
1'or here Is tho stoiy as I heaid it:
"The Xcwhouscs me at Hhenj's this winter.
They nio light In the IMiv.ii il VII set In London,
She ft the woman with the finest pemls in the
u oi Id, don't .ion know?
"Of couisel Why, her liihhamt was a miner
way out In California, and she used to work at
tho mining ramp, and he told licr it he made a
pile he'd s'ne her the finest pearl necklace in the
u orld.
"And she was a legular tuunp and used to do
tho cooking and ntier complained n hit; nnd
sine enough, her husband stiuck it 'big,' as they
call it, and now he is one of the veiy richest
niulli-mlllionalies, nnd the man that bought the
Hal-lion coiner at Tvicnly-lhiid sticct, jou know.
"And pearls! Well, jou ought to tec that one
1.11 (drlm; her hu-band g.no herl It cost 'floO,
000 just n string to go once mound her tluoat,
mind jou" and much more In the fame line.
l'lctme my amazement when n slender, girlish
woman, dressed in equM(e t.i-.te, with tho mm
neis ot a giandc dame and the bearing of a piln-ces--,
came toward me and with smiling grace of.
fcied me her hind, h.iying:i
','1 am Mis. Xewhouse. How can 1 be of ser
lice to jou!"
1'or an instant I was too stupefied to speak.
I hid "mixed those ladies up" In some unac
countable way, I guiltily leflcctcd, and 1 won
deicd how I should cier rcintcate niiself from
my enibariasslng position.
For this was not the heiolne of a minim; stoiy;
that fact was pilpablc.
liut 1 had to say something, so I began by an
apology, which is certainly n lame way of mak
ing piogiess.
And Mis. Xculioiuc laughingly said, "Do jou
want the stoiy of my life?"
And I gasped, "1 do, but I am afiaid j-ou are
not tho woman I came to see. 1 wish j'ou weie,
but it's quite impossible. Mj' Mm. XciiIiouip
wtnt to a mining camp with her husband and did
the e-c-eooking," I faltered, "and tho w-w-w-a-a-a-shing,"
1 whispeicd. "Some one has plajcd a
practical Joke on me," and I smiled a s'ckly
smile, not knowing what my iurt of confidence
might evoke.
o
And Mis. Simuel Xov.houo, not a day
beyond two and thiity, prcttj- as a pktuiu, with
Ipstious, rippling iljik hair, laughing blue c.vts
and a rougMi smile pitting oicr peifect white
teeth, incirlly exclaimed:
"Oil, but I am! I'm the leal Mis. Xcuhomo,
only people haio invented a good many tituav
tions I cannot lay claim to.
"Still, mj- life has been an unusual one, and
I have not forgotten the ilaj-d I spent in a little
hut on the top of a mountain when my husband
was seeking the foilune he now has.
"1 was tho only woman, and 1 did all the
woi k.
"Xeicr mind how- it was done.
"Mj- husband thinks tlieie noier was suili a
cook, and we both think the lcs said about the
laundry end of the housekeeping the better.
"You see, my hir-bind was one of the nnny
joung fellows who haie gone 'et to seek a
foilune,
"We met in TJeiuer, Col.
"I am a .Southerner by tililh, lint we had
moled to Dcuicr eeieial jeais before Jir. Xiw
house came then-.
"1 am wiry to spoil jour sloij-, but I was
le.ued as mot gill-, me, ciiefully and tendeilj-.
We were not itch, but comfoitiblj- olf.
"I was only sixteen when 1 niairied-a luie
inittli. We had ici.v Utile capital beside our
mutual confidence and deep loie for one nnolli-r,
but we were ikh in jouth nnil hope, and wo weie
is happy a-, possible, liiing in a lerj- modest
waj ,
"My husband had nn inteicsl in scleral mines,
and the iomiU did not please 1dm.
"One daj he told me that his ono chance was
o go to the propci ly himself and slay theie,
watching and woiklng, until ho found what he
was looking for.
"Well, jou bee, T am not icry bttong-lool.ing
now, nnd l was bllglitir then and sixteen Jeais,
lounger than 1 urn toilv, hut 1 Jnl-,teil on go
ing with my liu-luml, and I did.
"The mine w.u located on the act of a Col
orado mountain.
o
"It was a two d.ija' tide on a buuo hum the
lut mining ramp to Hie isolated peak we weie
bound for.
"We had lo cairy all our pioiUlons and cloth
ing, as well as all the working uiachlneij', up
the mountain, packed on the buiros' backs.
"It was a rough journey, but I was happy ns
a bhd. 1 va Willi luy husband, and I knew we'd
get along u.iy.
"We lived in a tiny little lint on the, mountain
peak, and we weie alone in tli.e woild, (
"The gieater pail of mmy weeks wo two weie
up then- among the clouds together.
"Lonely? Why, no; J ncicr thought of being
lonfly.
"1 lad all the world at my feet Uleiallj-, nnd
Sam and I weru jut as jolly and happj up theie
a twu jouug people could lie,
"I did all tho housework, rooking, washing,
ironing. We didn't fct uu .Woiia table, but we
didn't go huiigiy, either. My rook stove was to
near our dlnlng-tahlc that I Used to reach our
for the dlhe.s; they weie alw.ijs hot, aiijnaj".
"At twilight uu used to wutih the tun go
down in the west togthtr, and my husband wodld
till ine all tho beautiful things ho was going to
giie nic when he nuda ids fortune.
"t lecoliecl how he used to sir, qda, jou
just mark what 1 tell jou, one of theso diys jou
aio going to haio the loveliest drives any wo
man but had, and diamonds and penis ami a
line house and hordes nnd carilagc, and cieij
thlng woman cm wish fori'
"And I would U113I1 and say, 'All tight, Sam,'
hut of course I couldn't quite tec myself In the
pielmo my husband'a fancy painted,
."I'm like eieiy oilier woman, I suppose; I
lotc pretty clothes and comroits, but I was a
happy and contented wife on the top of Hut
mountain, Willi my Imsbiml for my one friend
and companion,
o
"Jlut we had one terrible experitneo we were
caught up in the mountain in a feaiful mow
blciin. "Ourliut was cntlicly bulled In tho snow, and
we fchouhl hue perished to a ceitalnty if u lea
cuing patty hid not come to our rellif.
"'Ihey bad to cut a tunnel through the enow,
and 1 WJ3 carried through the tunnel lo the opm
and taken down the mountain. That one exper
ience makes ine bhuddcr. cicn to recall.
"You see, we itajed too long. It Is impossible
'to lu as wc must In a cabin and survive tho big
tiioiu."
"And thin,'' I loluntteeicd, "did jour hus
band's dieain begin to uiateiiallzei"
"Well, Mr, Ken house had found what ho was
looking for, and leiy boon .after that he began
to accumulate money In laige sum, ami nil he
had pioplictitd up theie. on the mountain-top
when I used to cook Ids dinner in tho little cabin
came true.
"It U like a storj', except that I cannot feel
like the beiolue of anything,
"I i rally du not cure about money as money
at aU. I dn't l'luwn tbJ I am, not tow! el
pirtly things. 1 am, anil I like comforts, but
iiioiiej', Just for money's sake, has no ihann for
inc.
"Mr. Ncwlioiisc tells eomo very amusing stories
about my Ideas of finance.
"When 1 first went to Paris, of course I wanted
pretly frocks, and my husbahd left mo there to
attend lo my dicsses ami he went oicr to Lon
don. "I had n lowly lime ordering gowns tight and
left, nnd as I didn't trouble about prices, I had
to approximate the amount of money I should
need.
"I mole Mr. Xetthotiso that I feared I had
been inther CNti.ivng.int, nnd I thought 1 had
spent ?l,r,O0 on drosses: then 1 enumerated the
things I had ordered. '
o
"And lny husband replied bv sending ine a
draft for 2,000, which l, of course, ?10,000. He
told me he m sure, nftcr paying for my gowns,
I should need the leiiiiilnder for Incidentals.
"Ho wasn't surprised, but I was, when 1 found
I lcqiilrcd It nil or the fiotks and frills 1
thought would eost nbout 1,500. Mr. New
house tells lint story on mo to this clay."
I nrked Mis. Xewhousc what olio considered
her greatest good fortune outside of her happy
marriage and sho answered with serious candor:
"1 feel that to have been able to retain the affec
tion of nil my old frlcmbj, despite tho accumu
latlon of -money, is my greatest Inppluess.
"So many people lose their friends wheji the
get rich; but I really feel I have kept mine.
"I feel that it is good to have been poor good
not to forget it.
"It keeps us human, and money secerns so often
to have the other effect."
What does the Rordld world fay of such words
from tho lips of a twentieth century favorite of
f oi tune?
Mrs, Samuel Xcwliouse is a beautiful woman;
she ha.s eiery blessing that "money can glic, a3
well as all that health can proiide. Her sim
plicity, her frank coullallty and nbsence of po
aio delightful to bear witness to in these d.ijs ot
snobbciy and pretentiousness.
