THEY DEMAND THE KEYS Continued From First Page.

ance of such duties until rejected by the confirming power. It would be a surprise to the people of Pennsylvania if the Senate, instead of confining itself to the qualifications of the candicate to perform the duties of the office, and his fitness, for the place, should enter into an investigation of the motives or political reasons which actuated the Governor in making the nomination. Such a of proceeding would justly be regarded the people of the country as course, an attempt by one department of the government to invade the functions and privileges of another or department. The inquiry now arises, what is the duty of the Commissioners in view of the case as presented the by provisions the of facts the as act we of have them? 1852, Schuylkill county prison is under the exclusive control and dominion of the County Commissioners. They are, putting it in the language of the act, to establish the rules regulations for its government.

They shall direct the manner in which all bedding, clothing, provisions, and all articles and supplies, necessary for the support and employment of the persons confined in said prison, shall be purchased and also the sale of all articles manufactured therein, and shall direct the manner in which the convicts confined in said prison shall be employed; they shall determine the quantity and the kind of food that shall be furnished, daily, to each person confined in said prison, and the debtor's apartment; shall determine the bedding of all prisoners of and uniform debtors, the color the of male convicts, and the kind of dress to be worn by female convicts and prisoners, in summer and winter, they shall, at least, by one of their number, visit the prison and apartment for debtors. at least once a week, and oftener, if necessary, to see that the duties of the several officers and attendants are correctly and strictly performed; and prevent all oppression, peculation or other abuse, or mismanagement of said prison, they shall, on their visits to the cells, and to the debtor apartment, speak to each person confined therein, and shall not be attended by any of the officers of the prison, unless the said officers are thereto especially required by them; they shall, if required, be furnished by the keepers with a calendar of the persons confined in said prison, and shall, by actual inspection. see whether all persons named in said calendar are confined in the respective cells and apartments assigned to them, and the convicts employed, as directed." These are the powers and duties enumerated Act of Assembly among, which are to be done and performed by the County Commissioners, but they are not all the duties that they are required to perform under the provisions of the Act: but enough is shown to exhibit the fact that the prison is completely, and perfectly, under appointed their by them, control, and and approved the of by the court, as well as all other persons to be appointed exclusively by the Commissioners, are to carry out the instructions of the County Commissioners in the performance of their duties in the prison. The keeper, commonly called warden, simply carries out and performs the functions and duties in the prison which are required of him by the Commissioners. He has no independent authority of any kind he has no right to act upon his own responsibility in any single matter in or about that prison; he is required to observe the rules which are made by the Commissioners for the government of the prison, and to do such things and acts as they have or may require him to perform.

The underkeeper's duties are similar, and, so far as they go, precisely like the duties of keeper or warden. He. too, is under the control of the Commissioners and carries out their instructions and performs such duties as they impose upon him by their rules and regulations. It has already been said that these officers are appointed for a single year, and that there is no such things as holding over beyond the expiration of the year without a new appointment. As bearing upon that same question.

the 13th section of this act provides "That the keeper shall, before entering on the duties of his appointment, give bond to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with such an amount and such surety as the Court of Quarter Sessions of Schuylkill county shall determine and approve, conditioned for the faithful discharge and observance of all duties enjoined on him by this act, or which shall be by any subsequent act that may be passed, or rules to be made or which may be made by said Commissioners in accordance with this act." This bond, by the very language of the act, holds the keeper and his sureties for all acts done in pursuance of said appointment. Neither by its terms nor spirit can it be construed to apply to any appointment except the appointment for the one year. Therefore, an attempt by a keeper to hold over after the expiration of the year would allow such keeper perform functions without any security to the Commonwealth for the faithful discharge of his duties as required by law. This is an additional reason why the office is an annual one and why there can be no such thing as continuance in office without a new appointment. Entertaining these views, it is our duty to instruct the County Commissioners that in case an unavoidable vacancy occurs in that office by reason of circumstances which they cannot control, it is their bounden duty to take actual charge of that prison and its management, and to see that 110 unauthorized persons are allowed to perform any act or duties in prison.

They have subordinate appointes competent to perform all the functions necessary to carry on that prison until such times occur as will enable them to fill the office of keeper, matron and physician. In view of the mode suggested and in analogy to other like cases we believe that the Commissioners might take the bond of their nominee, to be filed with the judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions for approval, and that he might lawfully enter upon the performance of his duties until such times as the court takes action upon his nomination. If the court should reject the nomination, then, of course, the Commissioners would be required to make a new nomination as soon as they conveniently could. These views are concurred in and expressed by us after a careful consideration of the law relating to the ease, and we confident in our belief that we are right in what we have said. Signed, J.

The visitors to Antwerp can still identify the Canal au Sucre, where, during the Spanish Fury of 1576, the dead bodies of the murdered citizens lay piled half way up the houses, 8,000 of the inhabitants of the city perishing at the hands of Alva's soldiery during those ewful three days, when, as a contemporary expresses it, "hell seemed let loose." In Sienna the city is divided into contrades, or parishes, each of which is named after some animal or natural object--the owl, the goose, the tower, etc. There are seventeen these divisions. and residents in them give as an address the name of their contrade, which has come down unchanged through the centaries. St. Catherine, of Sienna, resided in the "Oca" (goose) contrade, and the name is still unaltered.

These different divisions of the city each run a horse at the annual "Palio." and great is the rivalry between the contrades. Indeed, the mediaval custom of street feuds and fights frequently kept up by the residents in the various parishesonly some twenty years ago deadly enmity raged between the denizens of the "Wave" and the "Tower" district. Fire war and, deadliest of all, modern improvements sweep away streets and their names in many localities, or sometimes a survives long after the reason for its selection has passed away. Blackfriars remains as a title, though the convent has vanished; the names of Newgate, Ludgate London Wall have survived the civic portals and boundaries. Old residents in the suburbs may remember that some modern "avenues" really commemorate the rows of elms which they have displaced, and that the seemingly unmeaning titles of "lane" or "gardens" recall a time before the trim villas so desig.

nated covered a veritable rural walk be tween hedgerows or a series of market gar dens. not often, as in Antwerp and Sienna, that the ancient divisions of the city remain unchanged for London Globe. Why He Kept Dogs. An old man living in a tumble down house on the East side was asked why he continued to keep about his premises a large and increasing family of worthless curs of small sizes. "Well, I'll tell you," he answered confidentially, "I have got a large bulldog-a regular fighting, dogwhich I keep in my house, these other dogs around the place to keep off anybody who might come around to steal the Express.

FRANCIS Is the wife of one of the best known pharmacists in New Haven, doing business at 141 Dixwell and ex-president of the Connecticut Pharmaceutical Association. He says: "My wife was for years in bad health, due to a complication of disorders Friends persuaded her to take Hood's Sarsaparilia; she took 6.

or 8 bottles and is certainly a great deal better since, in every way." Mrs. Martha Reed of 1835 Ramsey street, Baltimore, voluntarily says: For over 2 years I suffered with a Complication of Diseases till the summer found me a confirmed invalid, blood poor, appetite gone, bowels out of order, and I was miserable in mind and body. I read of such wonderful cures performed by Hood's Sarsaparilla that, at last, I thought I would try a bottle, as, if it didn't make me better, it could not make me worse. It did make me better, and on my third bottle I found myself almost A New Woman I will gladly convince any lady, as I have proved to myself, that purifying and enriching the blood, which Hood's Sarsaparilla does to perfection, is the best Constitutional Treatment, and in many cases, does away with all Local Treatment in the many diseases with which women are afflicted."

Something suggestive. The largest dealer in pianos and organs in the world says that trade is good. A pointer: That dealer has, for more than thirty years, made a leader of the Hallet Daris Pianos. Although he could have had his choice at an time of nearly, if not quite, all of the first class pianos made.
