Handwriting's Revelation of Character.
A most interesting article on graph
ology is published in the June Ladies'
Home Journal. The author, who Is an
adept in tho science, presents a variety
of specimens of chirography, enough
to embody all the various forms and
principles of writing, and these she
clearly interprets In her explanatory
text. It Is claimed that graphology lias
bocomo a science, and that one's charac
teristics are unerringly revealed by Ills
handwriting. Whether this claim can
lie substantiated or not, the subject is a
popular and interesting one, and the
Journal's article will afford a great deal
of entertainment.
The proposition to change tho hours
of court to a continuous session lias
been decided against by the judges and
the sessions will remain the same as
heretofore.

Cavcin Endanger* Houses.
The Lehigh Valley Coal Company has
notified property owners at Centralia to
remove their buildings and tenants to
evacuate the premises of a particular
part of tho eastern extremity of the
town. The notification was accompani
ed with tho explanation that the local
ity is in danger of caving into tho mines
and that the company will not be re
sponsible for any damages if the parties
referred to do not act promptly.
The affected portion involves two sin
gle and three double dwellings and two
rows of tenement houses occupied by
six families each. The last named are
owned by George YV. Davis, so that a
score of families are included in the
notice of evacuation.
This order conies immediately upon
the heels of several cavelns that have
occurred recently and one in particular
on Wednesday of last week in close
proximity to these houses.
The unfortunate feature for property
owners Is that the deeds which cover
their properties were procured from the
Locust Mountain Land Company and
contain features which absolve tho coal
company from liabilities for damages in
events of this character.

Dividing M Ward.
Commissioners Troutman, McNalr
and Butler on Thursday concluded the
taking of testimony In the matter of the
division of the South ward. The hear
ing took place at the Cottage hotel and
lasted until late in the afternoon. Bas
ing their claims upon equal representa
tion in municipal bodies, several South
ward residents asked for threo wards.
Figures wore produced showing that In
the assessed valuation of property, the
number of registered voters, the number
of votes polled and the number of school
children, the South ward's proportion
to the whole borough is at least three
sevenths, while the representation is
but one-fifth. This injustice was the
subject of much discussion, Attorneys
Carr and McCarthy and several citizens
asking for three wards.
Attorney Stroh and a number of
other citizens appeared and spoke
against granting three wards. Some
favored two wards and others opposed
any division whatever, putting forth
the claim that the area of each of the
four uptown wards is so great that at
some future day the population, value
of property, number of voters, etc., may
bo as large as it is today in the South
ward.
The commissioners will make their
report to court in a few weeks.
Law Graduate Honored.
On Saturday the following law stud
ents passed successfully in an examina
tion before the Luzerne examining
board: D. 11. Gildea and Frank Darte,
Kingston; R. J. O'Donnell, Freeland;
Fred Frick, Frank Brown, Edwin
Shortz and John Boyle, Wllkesbarre.
The success attained by Mr. O'Donnell
was quite pleasing to his local friends,
and upon his arrival home ho was ten
dered a supper at J. J. Malloy's cafe by
his most intimate acquaintances. The
table was filled with all the good things
of the season, and was presided over by
J. M. Carr, Esq. During the evening a
number of congratulatory addresses
wore delivered, to all of which the guest
responded appropriately.
Among those present were: John M.
Carr, Esq., D. J. McCarthy, Esq., Dr. 11.

A sensation lias been created in
Wilkesbarre by the sudden disappear
ance from her home of Mrs. William
Schaeffer. On Saturday, May 20, her
husband returned home and gave his
wife his month's pay. She then said
she would take a car for the central
part of the city and purchase a new
bonnet. Sho left her three-year-old
daughter in charge of a neighbor and
requested her to take good care of her
until she returned. Failing to return
in due time, Mr. SchaeiTor made dili
gent search, but could find no trace of
his wife.
The search was kept up all last woek,
but without any result. Mr. Schaeffer
concluded to break up housekeeping on
Friday, and while removing his furni
ture, found a letter in a bureau drawer.
It was from his wife and addressed to
him. It read: "Good-by, William, I
am going away forever. I am going
where I will be appreciated. Take
good caro of our little girl." Mr.
Schaeffer says lie has no idea whore his
wife went.
Liability of ExpreNH Companion.
Judge Archibald, of Scranton, in an
action brought to recover damages from
the National Express Company for the
loss of merchandise committed to its
care, rendered an opinion that the lia
bility of the company extended to a safe
delivery of consignments to the con
signee at his home or place of business
vyithin business hours; that it was not
enough to send the consignee word of
the arrival of such goods, but they are
required by law to at least make the at
tempt to deliver the goods. This was
not done, and the company is doclared
liable.
This rule, however, the court said,
does not apply to railroad companies
carrying freight. They are required
only to deliver the goods at their freight
stations, but the express companies
stand in a different relation.
Boroughs Must Not Discriminate.
Judge McClure, of Union county, has
filed in the Bradford county court of
common pleas an opinion that will be of
interest to all boroughs in the state.
In the case of the borough of Athens
vs. the New York and Pennsylvania
Telephone and Telegraph Company he
directed a verdict for the defendant,
holding that the borough ordinance
under which an attempt was made to
collect a tax of $1 on each pole of the
defendant company within the borough
was void, because it discriminated in
levying tax upon such poles and ex
empted electric light and trolley poles.

of other people notwithstanding. More
people are linding out every day the
moderateness of our prices for Clothing,

price, but stand by the quality of every
