j At the closing of the term of court, of
Cumberland county, last week Judge
Sadler addressed the Grand Jury in con
nection with the letter sent by the Board
of Charities, which was read in reference
to the condition of the county jail and
the many hundred of tramps that are
confined within its walls. He said in the
charge that the jail is crowded with
worthless able-bodied men, women and
children, committed as vagrants. Must
it he that these shall be put in immediate
contract with the mostdepraved. harden
ed, vicious and desperate of criminals
with loathsome diseases? Serious harm,
he said, must inevitably result. The jail,
in fact, becomes a nursery for criminals,
or rather gymnasium, where the innocent
or those barely tainted with crime are
trained to perform the most daring crimi
nal feats. He urged the Commissioners
to increase the capacity of the jail for
these worthless vagabonds, cost what it
i may.
The Board of Commissioners are in
dignant over the .1 udge's charge, claiming
, that they have done everything in their
I power to relieve the tax-ridden peopleof
j this great fraud.
The Jury Wheel Agitin.

For some time past Wm O. Williams,
of Dpper Lehigh, has been lying very
low, and is at present in a very critical
condition. Knowing that Mr. Williams i
had a host of friends in this part of the
country, a designing young lady has been
for the past, few weeks collecting funds
to procure him an easy chair. While I
Mr. Williams has been idle for a long
time he has not appealed to any of his i
friends for assistance, and desires that j
no money he given to any person claim

Since the foregoing was put in type, it :

drink. At present she is closely watched. |

lll'lN HY M. STANLEY.
The man who would have dared throe
hundred yours ago to attempt crossing
this American Continent in the face of
hostile and treacherous Indians, uncer
tainties of food or water for longdistance#
and in peril of wild heasts, would have
heen brave indeed, and a hero if he
succeeded. Jlut Africa isfar larger than
North America, its savages more treach
erous, its wild heasts infinitely more fe
rocious, its torrid suns more dangerous,
its fevers and poisonous insects more
deadly. Vet through this l>ark Contin
ent for thousands upon thousands of
miles Stanley has penetrated its recesses, j
braved its myraid dangers, explored its
immense rivers and inland seas, discov
ered its untold wealth, and in twenty
years has given to the world a new and ,
vast continent for civilization and culti
vation. Cpon this land of gold, dia
monds, fruits, ivory, spices, etc., all the i
great nations are striving for colonial
possession. Stanley stands to-day greater
than Columbus, Franklin, Livingstone,
or any other of the world's previous ex
plorers ami his adventures excel in thril
ling interest all the records of facts or
fiction.
The most, authentic volume recount
ing his marvelous adventures and
achievements from his first entrance in- ;
to Africa to his lute return to civilization
is thai issued by the enterprising firm of
Faulkner A: Allen, Philadelphia, they
having employed able literary men to
weave from Stanley's own fragmentary
writings a graphic connected narrative of
the whole twenty years story. It is
practically Stanley's own story, is in
tensely interesting, very profusely illus
trated, contains a new and superior map
of the whole region and sells at only
This work must inevitably have an im

to make money quickly, and a good deal
of it, should apply at once to the pub

A case involving a comparatively
small amount, but involved in which
was a decision of a question of consider
able interest to beneficial organizations,
was decided by Court of Common Fleas
No 1, Philadelphia, last week, which
gave judgment for £ 100 against the Oper
ative Plasterer.-a Mutual Protective Un
i >ti of Philadelphia in favor of Patrick
Sherry and his wife.
John Sherry, a son of (he successful
litigants, wasa member of the union, one
of whose by-la ws provides that no bene
fits shall he paid on any member who is
"more than three months in arrears."
John Sherry died on Monday, August 1,
owing dues for May, June ami July. As
a defense to the suit it was claimed that
Sherry was "more than" three months
in arrears when he died, and his family
was not entitled to his death benefits.
On the other side it was contended that
the first meeting night was not until
Tuesday, the day after Sherry's death,
and that as the three months' dues were
not payable until that night Sherry was
not within the meaning of the by-laws,
"more than" three months in arrears.
The court held that, this was the proper
view to he taken of the matter, and gave
judgment against the union.
Hi-vision of the Poor Luivs.
The Commission appointed by Gov
ernor Heaver to revise the Poor laws of
Pennsylvania met at the Girard House,
Philadelphia, hist week and held two
sessions, during which the subject was
informally discussed and a number of
suggestions received. Seven of the eight
members of the Commission were pres
ent. ll was decided that a change was
desirable from tin t unship to thecuiinty
system, both to secure a saving to the
counties in expense and to prevent the
frequent clash of interest between the
< iyersoers in the differciW to-, n.-hips.
Commissioner J. Xovin Hill, ol Sun
bury, finally suggested that the work • f
the Commission he divided into sevci
different puts, and each member givi n
one part. This was atrreed to. A dele

Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite coal trade continues to
drag along in the same dull condition
heretofore noted. There is no improve
ment in the demand for the domestic]
sizes, aitd the few new orders for coal j
being received by the shippers from day ;
to day are only for small quantities. The 1
consumption of the furnace and small
steam sizes of anthracite is still large,
and the demand for pea and buckwheat
1 irgely exceed the quantity being manu
factured. The weekly output of coal is •
still restricted as near as possible to the :
market requirements, and the anthracite .
managers-have resolved that the same
policy pursued in regulating the produc
tion in the month of January is to con- |
tinu •in force until March Ist. Thegene-1
rai a'es agent of the largest producing 1
and carry ing companies, at their meeting
at New York on Thursday, agreed to re
commend that the March output of an-|
th i ncite be limited to two million tons.
They wisely desisted from any attempt i
t<> change the circular of prices for the 1
present because of the stagnant state of i
the market for the domestic sizes.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
February 8, as reported by the several

HALF A WIINUTEj PLEASE.
Though you were a Jay Gould or a
Vandcrbilt, it is worth thirty seconds of
your time to learn that 41 Ideal" Tooth
Powder will preserve your teeth from
decay, and by so doing save dentists'
hills and hours of agony from your old
enemy, the toothache. Dr. It. E. Gieb
ner, Pa., says: 44 When I first began
using 44 Ideal" Toot h Powder I could
not use a brush on my teeth on account
of injuring the gums. Can now use as
still a brush as obtainable with impun
ity. It has also hardened the enamel of
my toeth.
