The Publisher's Claims Sustained UNITED STATES COURT OF CLAIMS The Publishers of Webster’s International Dictionary allege that it “is, in fact,the popu- lar Unabridged thoroughly re-edited in eve detail, and vastly enriched in svery part, wit) the purpose of adaptingt to meet the larger 2 nd ge severer requirements of another genera- on. We are of the opinion that this allegation most clearly and accurately describes the work that has been Bocomp) ished and the result that has been reached. The Dictionary, as it now stands, has been thoroughly re- edited in every detail, has been corrected in ever, I part, and is admirably adapted to meet arger and severer requirements of a generation which demands more of popular philological knowledge than any generation that the world has ever contained. It is perhaps needless to add that we refer to the dictionar; Iz in our judicial work as of the highest authority in accuracy of defini- tion; and that in the future as in the past it will be the source of constant reference.

The uniform primary bill passed at the extra Session of the Legislature, and approved by the Governor, will go into effect on November 1, next, and will mean pragtically two campaigns for an office instead of one, as each condidate will have to contest within the ranks of his own party for the nomination, and will then make a fight for the actual election to the office. Under the provisions of the new law, all primary elections throughout the state must be held at the same time, on the same day, at the regular election polls. The bill was made effective next November, in order not to inter- tere with this year’s State convention, delegates having already been named in numerous counties. Had the bill been made effective upon approval, it would have caused confusion and ad- ditional expense in such counties in order to elect new delegates, it is said. Official ballots are to be used at the primaries. Each party is to have a separate ballot, but they are all to be uniform in general character. Candi- dates for nomination are to have their names placed on the ballots by petition of electors. The primaries are to be designated as the Winter and Spring primaries. The former to be held on the fourth Saturday before the February election, and the latter on the first Saturday of June, except in Presidential years, when it shall be on the second Satur- day in April. Delegates to the State and National conventions are to be elected at the Spring primary, except delegates at large to the National con- vention ; these are to be elected by the State conventions. Any party polling two per cent. of the largest vote cast at the preceding general or February election is entitled to elect such dele- gates. The percentage applies for en- titling parties to name candidates for the State and Local offices. Petitions for placing the names of candidates for different offices upon the primary ballots must be filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth, bearing the following number of names: For Congressman, Judge and State Senator, 200; for Representative and county officers, 50; for all other officers, delegates to conventions and party of- ficers, 10. Petitions for Congressmen and State officers shall be filed four weeks before the primary, and all other officers three weeks. Immediately upon such filing the Secretary is to forward a list of the candidates of each party to the several county commissioners ; for at least one week prior to the primary the commis- sioners must have at their office forms of ballots containing the names of nom- inees. These must be open to public inspection. The official ballots furnished each party must be double the number of votes cast at the general election by that party, and the commissioners must furnish as mary additional ballots for any party in any district as the county chairman may request in writing ; such written request must be filed at least two weeks before. Specimen ballots must be furnished equal in number to one-fourth of the whole number fur- nished. Election boards, as now constituted, are to serve at the primaries, the com- pensation being one-half the amount at general elections. The polls are to be open from two o'clock in the afternoon to eight at night; all liquor dealers must suspend business between one o'clock in the afternoon and nine at night, on primary days. No voter shall be allowed assistance, unless he swears that he cannot read the names, or that he is unable, by reason of physical dis- ability,to mark his ticket. A correct account of expenses is tobe certified to the Auditor General, by the County Commissioners, and the money paid to them out of funds in the treasury not otherwise appropriated. Qualifications to vote at primaties are the same as for general elections. If a voter is challenged, he must swear that at the last preceding general elec- tion he voted for a majority of the can- didates on the ticket of the party for whose ballot he has asked. Upon mak- ing such affidavit, he must be given the primary ballot for which he has asked. The board are to count the ballots ae at general elections. Should ten quali- fied electors certify to the County Commissioners that fraud has been committed in the district, the Com- missioners shall open the ballot-box and recount the votes; an appeal may be taken to court from the decision of the Commissioners, except in cases of delegates to State conventions, when the contest shall be decided by the convention under the rules of the party. Incase of a tie vote for any office, the candidates shall cast lots be- fore the Commissioners or the Secre- tary of the Commonwealth, respective- ly, for County or State offices, the suc- cessful one being declared the nomi- nee. Vacancies shall be filled under the party rules. Anyone voting or attempting to vote ‘at a primary when not qualified, or who repeats or attempts to repeat, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. The penalty for conviction is a fine of not more than $1,000, or imprisonment of two years, or both. An election officer who knowingly permits fraud, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; the fpenalty for conviction is a fine ‘of not more than $1.000, or imprisonment of not more than five years, or both. A GOOD ACT. Postofflce Department Making a Vigorous and Righteous War on Medicine Fakirs. An Associated Press dispatch sent out from Washington under date of March 25th, contains the following in- formation: Orders have been issued by Post- master General Cortelyou instructing postmasters at New York and Brooklyn to refuse to admit to the mails the ad- vertisements of 52 illegal “medical offices” located in those cities, and also to refuse to deliver mail matter re- ceived addressed to the fictitious and assumed names under which these concerns hide their identity. For some time past the department has had inspectors working in New York gathering the necessary evidence to close the mails in these cases, and the officials of the department to-day expressed the belief that practically all of the criminal concerns of this char- acter in these cities have been covered. This action at New York and Brook- lynis in line with the efforts previously made by Postmaster General Cortelyou in Boston and Philadelphia, to enforce the law against this class of criminal concerns. In Boston, last March, 30 of these concerns were barred from the mails, and the Government’s crusade in Philadelphia last September resulted in closing 13 establishments charged with being illegal “medical offices,” thus practically closing all such con- cerns there. A statement given out at the postoffice department to-day, says: “The condition of affairs which has devsloped under the department’s in- vestigations in all these cities has been appalling. It was found that in a large number of instances those engaged in conducting these offices have criminal records and are ‘dope fiends.’ “In Boston, one of the concerns ex- cluded by the department from the mails was supposed to have been the office at which was performed the fatal operation upon the young woman Susan Geary—the suit-case murder. One of the ‘doctors’ whom the depart- ment found identified with several of these ‘offices’ in Boston was also con- nected with the Susan Geary case. The number of deaths that have been caused in these offices can never be known. “The volume of business done by these concerns was large. It was said that as high as 20 criminal operations a day were performed in some of these offices, and that the income sometimes ranged as high as $2,000 a week. ; “The postmaster general entrusted the details of these investigations to Chief Postoffice Inspector Vickery and Assistant Attorney General Goodwin, and their work has been exceedingly thorough and effective. The depart- ment is endeavoring to do all in its power, by enforcing the law against these illegal concerns, to mitigate this evil.” GROW STRONG AGAIN.

Organizer Joseph Genter, of the United Mine Workers of America, who has been in Windber for more than a month, declared several days ago that he had very thoroughly organized the 5,000 men employed by the Berwind- White Company, and. that this would be shown to-day in a parade which he Lad scheduled. As a consequence large crowds of people from nearby points assembled in Windber and when the hour arrived for the parade people were much surprised to see that al- most 2,500 miners, all company men. were in line. This was accepted as evidence that Organizer Genter had made good his claims. General Manager W. A. Crist, of the several Berwind-White operations in Somerset, Clearfield and Westmore- land county, and Manager Cook, of the 11 large Windber operations, declare that-under no circumstances will the union be recognized; that they car keep the mines open; that to-day, ir spite of union influences the cempany loaded in Windber 200 cars of coal; that to-morrow it will have men at work and continuously thereafter. though perhaps not at full capacity.
