Counties in every part of the
State will be interested to the extent
of thousands of dollars annually In
tho appeal taken to the Supreme
Court from the judgment of the
Dauphin County Court by the Com
monwealth and Lycoming and
Northumberland counties In what is
known as tho criminal insane main
tenance case. The matter Is especi
ally interesting in view of the fact
that tho new State Institution for
tho criminal insane in Wayno coun
ty is about to relieve many of the
State hospitals of such charges.
The State hospital authorities at
Danville sent bills to the counties for
the same per capita charge for main
tenance of criminal as indigent in
sane, but tho counties held that
criminal insano were not always in
digent and that a distinction must
be made. For over two years the
controversy was waged and tho court
recently held that the counties were
liable for criminal on the same piano
as Indigent. As large sums of
money aro involved, an appeal was
taken and tho decision of the ap
pellate court will havo far-reaching
effect.

vaulting, running races, and a base
ball gamo will bo some of tho ath
letic features of tho day. Other
games will bo played by the female
employes and competitive events will
bo held for them, too. Tho company
has had many events of this nature
In tho Western section of tho state
and all of tho picnics havo met with
groat success. If tho Initial picnic
proves satisfactory, others will bo
held each year. Every person yVho
attends tho picnic will bo furnished
with a luncheon by tho company.
