result that has been reached. The Dictionary,
as it now stands, has been thoroughly re-
edited in every detail, has been corrected in

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

NEW PRIMARY LAW.
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.”

Windber Parade Had Many Miners
in Line.
Tohnstown, Pa., April 2—Windber to-
day was the scene of much excitement.
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.
