If has been discovered that in Chi cago .several undertakers have Been giving trading stamps to widows of deceased citizens In onlcr to increase Business. This fact was discovered when one sorrowing, widow canceled an order for a coffin given to ati un dertaker because lie would not give her trading stamps There is proba bly nothing legally wrong in giving trading stamps to recently bereaved widows, but the practice might be come dangerous to society if women should become so addicted to the trading stamp craze as to hasten the demise of their husbands in order to take advantage of the undertakers' offer. No doubt the Chicago undertakers who issue trading stamps did a live ly business until their scheme was unearthed, for the average woman feels that it would be a shame not to take advantage of such an offer, even at the risk of being accused of mak ing light of such a solemn thing as a funeral. However, the ethics of the undertakers' profession have been violated and the trading stamp funer al directors are likely to discover the gravity of their offense when the undertakers' association holds the next meeting. Deputy United States Marshall 11, Laurish arrested Henry Gordon and James C'anew of Bellfont, on infor mation preferred by postoffice in spector \V. A. Rhoads. The boys who are Under ill years of age are charged with breaking into a mail car on the Central railroad of Penn sylvania, while it was standing near Bellfont on March-1. The amount they secured from the mail car is charged in the information to have been 19 cents and three two cent stamps. The case seems to he a clear one against the boys. They were held in s:?ott bail fn default of which they were committed to the Dauphin county jail for appearance at the United States court at Ilarris burg the first Monday in May. A Salladasburg man is in a peck of trouble the result of catching trout under the size specified by State game laws. The number of trout taken by the man is said to have been fifty, which makes a total fine of SSOO.

Six months in the Northu.tiber land county jail and #SOO fine wn the sentence imposed by .Judge Archbald of the L'uited Stated Court at Sunbury last week, on the Rev. 11. K. Zimmerman, of Omaha, Neb formerly a Lutheran minister of Dickenson, Cumberland county, this State, for sending obscene pictures through the mails. Zimmerman's excuse after pleading guilty, was that lie needed the pictures for a magazine article, and one of his let ters to his source of supply said: "Send me the hottest going." A number of the hotel keepers in Williamsport have inaugurated a new rule to govern the sale of liquor over their bars, and if rigidly en forced by the bartenders will work a large amount of good. The hotel men have prepared a list of names of men known to them to be of intemperate habits and others whose presence is undesirable about the hotel. This list of names is kept behind the bar and the bartenders are in structed not to Allow the men in the bar room. As new names are found and placed on the list, the other hotel keepers sire notified and the names are also placed on their list. There are now a number of names on all the lists in the city, and these men can,t get liquor served to them over any of the bars. The hotel porprietors will keep this rule up until all the undesirable patrons are known to all the bartenders. One man when refused liquor at the bar hunted up the proprietor and demanded the reason. He was told to leave the place and never ask to be served over the bar again. The hotel adjoining was told of the occurrence and he was placed on that list also. I i Ilughesvllle April 4.—Fire de jstroyed the tine residence of Frank 1 P.

Cole, giving him a straight sen tence of three year in the Auburn state prison. He was arrested last tail for alleged horse stealing but broke jail before being tried. He was captured and brought back to jail and pleaded guilty to the chi rge a weefc ago, after making a rather remarkable plea, in which he in dicted the supervisors for the con ditions of the jail, and said that Cort land county had her pound of flesh, lie asked that he be given a light sentence in order that ho might be in lighting trim to meet the charges to be preferred against him by Broome county officials. When sentenced, he said he thought the court, district attorney and people of the county were prejudiced against him. Judge F-ggleston recalled the events of his checkered tareej, most of which are known to residents of this and Broome county, and said that his record was against him. Cole seemed greatly depressed by the sentence he received. K ister will be observed this year oirApril litth. the latesttlrtit it has come for a century or more.

During that year, lands returned —laud on which no taxes had been paid, the taxes running from 74 cents a"lot to $20.:!0 —the maximum, foot ing up >!>1.47. Under the law it was imperative to sell these lands for taxes, and the fees for selling were as follows: Sheriff, $1,10<).;}7; pro thonotary, $174.1">; attorney's fees and commissions, #1:12. It is very evident that if all the departments of the county were run on such a ba-is, it would soon be bankrupt. Under the law the com missioners are powerless to prevent this waste.
