The crusade against women wearing
hats and bonnets in theatres has reach
ed Pennsylvania. A theatre hat bill
was Introduced Into tho house last week
making it unlawful for any owner or
mauuger of any theatre or public build
ing where entertainments are hold, to
which an admission fee is charged, to
permit uny person to wear any hat,
bonnet or covering for tho head, which
will obstruct the view of ttie perform
ance or entertainment. The theatrical
manager is authorised to compel tho
the roniovul of tho hat or eject tho
person from the building. Tho bill
makes it obligatory also for theatre
managers to provide a toilet room in
which ladies can leave their head cover
ings. Senator James G. Mitchell, of this
county, introduced two Important bills
in the senate last week, Tho ono
authorizes tho governor to appoint a
. commission to adopt or edit and compile
a uniform series of text books, to bo
used in the public schools, and provid
ing the method of acquiring tho right
to Issue and sell the same, and the
manner and time of introducing the
same in said schools and regulating the
printing and publishing thoreof. Tho
other bill authorizes and directs oounty
commissioners to take, maintain and
ass -mo control of township bridges over
thirty feet In length, providing for the
rebuilding of any bridges which may be
destroyed, and the building of new
bridges.
If all the liars had died as soon after
prevaricating as did Ananias and Sap
phi ra, some, two thousand years ago,
there would not be such a vast multitude
meandering this .mundane sphere as
there are to-day who handle the truth
carelessly. And some of this class of
people to-day will be found making the
christian profession, as did Anaufas and
his wire. The sage of the Punxsutaw
ney Spirit says: "One of the greatest
vices of this age is lying. It is not con
fined to business and professional affairs,
but finds its way into politics. Lies
have been told on the stump, right in
the midst of an exciting political cam
paign. Mirablle diotu! It Is not an
uncommon thing, In fact, to resort
to downright deception in order
to secure votes. Legislation is often
promised which the promisor knows
would be not only Impracticable but
vlolous, beoauso he has not the courage
to tell the truth. Then, when the time
comes for the fulfillment of these prom
ises, the people to whom they were
made oonclude that there are some aw
ful liar abroad. Lying does not pay In
the long run. It Is much more expen
sive in the round-up than the truth. A
lie will never fit in properly. It is a
troublesome thing to have round, for it
will invariably come home to roost."

Grand Jury's Report.
To the llmmniblr Judye of the Cmirt nf
(fnnrlrr Nrminn of the I'enre in una
,tr the rtmntii nf jijlcrmn, February
SrtKintw, IX!)?;
Wo, the Grand Jury nf said county,
respect fully report: That we have
passed upon all bills of Indictment that
have been laid before us by the District
Attorney of the county. That after
discharging the duty above mentioned.
In accordance with the directions of the
Court, we Ivur leave to report that wo
have examined the county jail and find
that the condition of the same Is net
good. Tin) plumbing throughout tho
jail is in poor condition. f'Vers on
first or lower row of cells do not work
properly: water-closets and cells also
t 1 renovating. On investigating tlie
e.-eupe i f .li'M'ph Alello. the nnilllerer,
we round that the jail Is not as secure
us it should be. We siiggi nt that the
eeiline b.. eiivei' d with boiler iron or

of the bins aie snweil oft', nnd we siie;-j.'.-st
tlr.t they be examined by an ex
pert ami if found lo he of poor quality
that in w bars b" procured. We siig-ge.-it
also that the sheriff's rooms in the
jail building need some repairing done
to tlm plastering, paper and plumbing:
also the sherill's olllee needs some ncv
furniture, a desk with more room for
filing pain rs and more chairs. We also
examined the Court house and recom
mend the following repairs; a new floor
in lower jury room; the water closet ad
joining said room needs immediate re
pairs; we also recommend that a water
cloet for the use of ladles attending
Court be put In where most convenient:
that the plaster ill several places needs
repairing. In the investigation of tho
escape of Ihe prisoner, Joseph Aelllo,
we find nothing to censure the sheriff
or other county ollieers, but we recom
mend that, the method for caring for
prisoners suggested by the Court 111
your charge to us be followed by tho
sheriff. The attention of the jury was
also called by one of their number to
the attempt on the part of N. U. Hond,
of llrockwayville, to smuggle revolvers
In to Frank und William Hudson, and
from the evidence of the following per
sons, namely, K.x-KherltT Gourloy, Mack
Mohney, Charles Chesnutt and Norman
1). Mat son, we believe it was done with
criminal intent, and wo recommend
that the Court instruct tho District At
torney to bring a bill of Indictment
against N. II. Hond for said offense be
fore tho next Grand Jury.
Wo desire to thank tho Honorable
the Judge of the Court, District Attor
ney, lYothouotary, Sheriff, Register
and Recorder, Commissioners, Tip
