Poor eyesight of children is
not often noticed until the child
Is sent to school, when the defect
becomes more pronounced by
reason of close work. In this
condition study becomes a bur
den on account of eye strain and
headache and is a constant drain
upon the whole nervous system.

CASES HEARD
DURING YEAR
INTERESTING REPORT OF CLEBK
OF' COURTS DANIELS.
. i
Is a Very Law-abiding County Of
tho 3440 Criminal Charges Pre
ferred 1127 Wore for Assault and
Battery in Cases So Trivial That
tho Grand Dury Ignored 1028 of
Them Other Court Matters.
Criminal charges 3440
Convictions 154
Pleas of guilty 05
Clerk of the Courts T. P. Daniels has
compiled a report of tho work done
by tho criminal branch of the coutts
of this county from tho opening of the
October term In 3901 until the opening
of the same term this year.
Oiirlnjr that Derlod transcripts In
3,140 criminal cases were filed with tho
clerk of tho court. Of this number
2,749 were brought to the attention of
tho giand jury. In L'.lll cases tho bills
were Ignored, and In 638 true bills ic
sultetl. Altogether 1,063 persons were
tried on GDO bills. There were 77S ac
quittals, 364 convictions, 3G nol prosses
and 3 pleas of guilty. The accom
panying table gives Interesting statis
tics concerning the business of the five
terms of court hold during tho year:
(
Number of cases charging crlmo
Cases before grand juiy
Tine bills by giand luty
lgnoied bills by ginnd jury
Number of pel son i tiled
Number of cases tried
Number of ucaulttnls
Number of conlctlotib
Number of nol prosbes
Picas of guilty cnteied
Kceognlzanees foifeitcd
Amount of lecognlzanccs
.
That Lackawanna county Is com
posed of a class of people w ho are nat
urally quiet and law abiding Is shown
by an analysis of the class of crimes
that come before the court. "When the
mixed character of the population of
the county is considered the showing
is certainly most creditable.
While the total number of cases Is
seemingly largo a great percentage aio
of a character that ought never to get
beyond the ofllco of the alderman or
ju'-tlco of the peace, wheto tho war
rant was sworn out. It Is not always
the fault of these gentlemen that the
cases get into comt, tor the reason that Tho mombeis of the school sang sev
thoy have to hold tho accused to ball cral carols, and theio wore recitations
If a pilma tacie case is made out. Of, by the following children: Helen Cor
tho total of 3140 tianscrlpts returned tn, nlh, Edna May "Whitney, Agnes
court, 1127 wcio for aitault and bat
tery. Tho trivial or manufactured na
ture of most of these is attested by tho
fact that out of this large number there
were but thirty-six convictions. These
statistics concerning assault and bat
tery cates will furnish food for i enac
tion: Number of cases charging cilmo
Cases befoie giand jury
Ignored bills by grand jury
True bills by grand jury
Number of persons tiled
Number of cabes tried

Pleas ot guilty
Of the higher grades of crime, tho
calendar for tho year was icmaikably
free. Altogether nine pet sons were ar
rested tor mtiider and seven were In
dicted by the grand jury. The tilal of
these cases showed that none of them
aiosc to the dignity of first degree. Of
the seven men Indicted, 1ie wero ac
milltid and two convicted of murder ol
less than the tlist degiee.
Theio wcie no orients for highway
lobliery ot assault with attempt to rob
or steal, or horse- stealing. Theio were

seventeen Indictments by tho grand
jut.". Sistctn of tho cases weie Ig

In eight they vcio acquitted.
The number of ca'-e.s charging lai

SILK BUSINESS
IS EXPANDING
FOUR MORE MILLS HAVE COME
TO SORANTON.
1
One Which Is to Be Located in Gieen
Ridge Will Do Biond Weaving.
Tho Third Word Is to Have a Mill,
and Two Are Undor Way in West
Seranton This Will Make Eleven
Silk Mills Within the City Limits.
They Corao Unhidden.
Seranton bids fair to soon llval
Paterson ns a silk manufacturing cen
ter. Four new mills will be under way
here befoto springtime, and several pai
tlos nr looking about the city with a
view of bringing mills fiom other cities
or stalling up new mills heie.
The Moirlson Silk company has pui
chnsed the big building on Latch stiect,
formerly occupied ns a milk depot
by the Scianton Dairy company, and
will establish there a broad silk mill,
capable of manufacturing any width
of silk, from ribbons up.
Paul Clements is to statt n silk
throwing mill near the Round "Woods,
the Ashley Silk Throwing and Weav
ing company has a plant under way
on Academy street, and the Klllgore
Silk company Is building a mill on West
Market .street, In tho Third ward.
There arc already seven silk mills
within the city limits, and as many
mote in tho Immediate suburban towns.
It is estimated they employ upwards
of 7,000 hands, some of them being
woikod day ami night.
Of iccent jears tho boaid of tiade
ha not been Inviting ollk, manufac
turers, because of the danger of ex
hausting the available labor, but the
mills have continued to come and It
seems Intend continuing. -
,,-A silk manufacturer from Paterson
iccently tame here to establish a new
mill. Secietnry Seamans, of the board
of tiade, told him he could not advise
him to come here, as he could i ot gUc
him assurance that the necessary labor
was available. The man went awa,
but the nevt day letumed and an
nounced that he would start a milt In
Seranton and tnke chances on being
able to get hands. The mill Is being
erected.
Some of the most conseivatlvc mem
bers of the board of trade unhesitat
ingly declare in favot of bi logins In
more silk mills. It will bu a means of
attracting more people heie, they aver,
and Seranton wants more people. When
there Is wotk offered the people will
come, they at'gue.
But be that as it may, tho mills aie
coming without invitation or any en
couragement other than that which
their owners can fined In Scr.tnton's
advantages, and so far all of them
have succeeded In getting plentj of
help.
