TICKET SCALPER PLEADED GUILTY Tlu» tirst case ot a mau being arraign* ed in the criminal courts ot tins eoun ty for ticket scalping was called be fore Judge Edwards this morning. The defendant was Adolph Blau. who is the manager of the Commercial Loan company, doing business at No. Jo> Lackawanna avenue. The complainant was M L. Smith,the district passeng er agent of the Lackawanna railroad. Blau pleaded guilty upon the advice of his counsel and was let oft with an extremely lenient sentence. It was and cost Cases in this state for ticket scalp ing have been rare, although there has 1 been a law against it on the statute books of Pennsylvania since the year 18*53. It was ouly recently that the supreme court ot Pennsylvania decided that that law is a good one and that it is a crime to scalp tickets in Pennsyl vania. The D. L. & W. company sometime ago had reason to complain of ticket scalping in this city and started out to find where the trouble came from. They soon found that the tickets were being scalped by Blau. Mr. Smith re monstrated with him and told him not to sell the tickets of the Lackawanna and also called his attention to the law of this state regarding it. Blau did stop for a time and then when the New York state court decid ed against the railroad companies in the famous case at Buffalo he thought that it gave him license to sell and started up the scalping business again. Mr. Smith told him again and also called his attention to the fact that the law in New York state was not the same as the law in Pennsylvania, and that the law in this state was straight out and out against the practice. Blau wouldn't believe it, and kept on sell ing until he was arrested. There is a big difference between the case that was in New York state courts aud the one in the county court here this morning. The. suit was brought there by the companies against the scalpers to restrain them from sell ing. The suit there was in equity, uot in the criminal court. The pecu liar part of the suit there was that it was decided against the company on the ground that they did not come into court with clean bauds aud when a man comes into the equity court for redress of grievances lie must come there without spot or blemish. Thus it appears that while the New ork courts decided against the companies they did not decide that ticket scalp ing in New ork was legal. In passing sentence on Blau this morning Judge Kelly told him that it was on account of all the facts in the case that he was so lenient. That he felt that Blau had made a mistake in his understanding of the New York law and did not understand the diff erence between that and the law in this state. Judge Kelly stated that the law in Pennsylvania is clear and distinct, and that it positively make ticket scalping a crime. It a ser ious crime, too. The penalty is fine aud imprisonment in the penitentiary. The court impressed the fact upon Blau that while he was lenient this time it was not to be understood that he would be so lenient with him or anyone else if they should be brought fiefore him again on the same crime. While the D. L. & W. company agreed to have judicial clemency extend ed to Blau. Mr. Smith stated that it was an example to auy one else that would be found scalping their tickets. They will prosecute to the full extent of the law in cases that may arise hereafter. Major Warren appeared for the com pany, and Messrs. Joseph O'Brien, Geo. S. Horn, Frank Donnelly and John F. Murphy for Blau.— Scrantou Truth, April 12th. How's This ? We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for Any case of Catarrh that <:au not lie cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

SUGGESTIONS FOR ARBOR DAY The second and last Spring Arbor Day for this year occurs tomorrow, April I s . and the following suggestions have been made for the observance of the day in the schools: There should be some appropriate music, and. where possible, some dis play of plants and flowers. Poem- and prose selections bearing directly or in directly on the subject may be read and recited. Arbor Day furnishes an excellent op portunity for teachers to call the atten tion of their pupils to such out-door books as the following: The works of John Burroughs, the works of Bradford Torrey, the works of Henry David Tliorean. the works of Hamilton W. Gibson, the works of Richard Jcfferies, "Gilbert White's History of Selborne, etc. Teachers themselves should have some acquaintance with these books and be able to use them in their schools. Forest Leaves, a little periodical pub lislied bi-monthly at 1012 Walnut street Philadelphia. Pa., contains many arti cles about trees that could be read to schools with great profit. Forestry and j Irrigation is another publication of the) same kind. The following subjects may be dis cussed in essays, talks or debates: Origin of Arbor Day; choice of trees for plant ing :how trees should be cared for:effects on Pennsylvania of the removal of for ests; how forests prevent floods; how forests prevent drouths; how forests protect the animals, birds, and fishes. Let the pupils make lists of trees for building, for furniture etc.. furnishing fibres, gums, drugs, etc.: fruit trees, shade trees, nut trees, etc. Let the pupils vote on the shade tree that they like best and on the flower that they think should be the state flower. Trees are among the most familiar object in nature and among the most easily studied: yet how few people know one from another <-r have an intelligent understanding of their life history. Any thing that brings trees more close ly to our attention, and that makes us realize their great importance is of dis tinct value as an educational agent. "Cleanliness is next to godliness." Dirt anddepravity g > hand in hand This is just as true of the imide of the body as the outside. Constipation clogs the body and clouds the mind. Constipa tion means that corruption is breeding in the body,poisoning the blood with its foul emanation, befogging the brain with its tainted exhalations. Constipa tion is the beginning of more diseases than, perhaps,any other single disorder. The consequences of constipation are le gion. Headache, pain in the side, short ness of breath, undue fullness after eat ing, coldness of the extremities,nervous ness, indecision, lassitude, dizziness, sallowness, flatulence and a score of other ailments are directly caused by constipation. Cure constipation and you cure its consequences. The quick est cure of this evil is obtained by the use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are small in size but wonderful in results.

It was plainly noticeable at the convention held at the Sunbury court house on Monday, that the citizens paid heed to the warning issued by the Board of Health, for outside of the delegates very few Sunbury peo ple attended the meeting. The dele gates from Mt. Carinel and others from that place who were present wore lit tie red bows on their arms showing that they had been vaccinated. They had everything their own way, not be ing crowded in the least. As the next term of civil court I which convenes in Sunbury next Mon day, has more than the usual num ber of cases from Mt.
