COLONEL BARNETT IS INAUGURATED. At Last Takes Charge of the Office of State Treasurer. WILL HU PROUD RECORD. In the Many Years of Administration. oC Tliid Office Pfot a Slngrle Penny lias Been Lost to tlie State Under nepnltllcan Oflaelnlt.

(Special Correspondence.) Harristmrg, May 8. The retirement of James S. Beacom as state treasurer and the swearing in of his successor. Col. James E.

Barnett, yesterday was a very gratifying outcome of one of the most desperate political contests ever waged in this commonwealth. Mr. feacom retired with a record of hav 4ng made one of the most faithful and public officials that has ever held a responsible position on "the Hill. He was not only courteous to all who had business with the office, but he maintained a constant and vigilant supervision over the work of every subordinate official and he jealously guarded the immense sums of money committed to his care. The finances of COL.

JAMES E. BARNETT. the state have not been in better condition for many years, and under the recent legislation passed through the efforts of the leaders of the Republican state organization interest is paid to the state upon every penny of state funds deposited in the banks. The advent of Col. Barnett into the office of state treasurer will ensure a continuance of the careful business administration of that office and will be a guarantee that the interests of the people will be safely guarded.

AS TO STATE TREASURERS. Of the 14 state treasurers elected by the people under tle constitution of 1874 eleven have come from the western part of the state. Previous to that time the state treasurers were elected by the legislature, and the holders of the place were pretty evenly divided as to location. Of the 14 elected, the western state treasurer were: Robert W. Mackey of Pittsburg, Henry Rawle of Erie, Amos C.

Noyes of Clinton, the only Democrat that ever was elected" to the place; Silas M. Baily of Fayette, who went out of office a poor man, because of the failure of banks where state funds were deposited, the loss of which he and his bondsmen made up; William Livesey of Pittsburg, who not only served his own term, but parts of two others; M. S. Quay of Beaver, who resigned in office to go into the United States senate; John W. Morrison of Allegheny, who is now deputy commissioner of banking; Samuel M.

Jackson of Armstrong, Benjamin Haywood of Mercer and James S. Beacom of West kioreland. The eastern state treasurers elected by the people were Samuel Butler of Chester, William B. Hart of Dauphin, who died in office, and Henry K. soyer of Philadelphia, who is new superintendent of the mint In that city.

Despite the misrepresentations of the opponents of the Republican rarty, ic is a notewortny fact that the state has never lost a dollar through the administration of the office of state treasurer under any Republican official. It is true that banks have failed and the bondsmen of treasurers have had to make good deficiencies, but that was the misfortune of the bondsmen and not a matter of concern for the taxpayers of the state. GENERAL BAILY PASSES AWAY. Gen. Silas M.

Baily, a former state treasurer, died at his home at Union town, on Saturday last. Gen. Baily was one of the famous 306 who stood by Gen. Grant in the convention of 1880. His death resulted from a general collapse, superinduced by the effects of a bullet wound received during the civil war.

General Baily was born In Brownsville in 1836. He learned the jewelry trade and engaged in business in Waynesburg, but sold out to go to the war. He afterward opened a jewelry store in Uniontown, which he conducted until a few months JQ When the war broke outTne organized the first company in Greene county, which became a part of the Eighth Reserves, and Captain Baily became major. At Fredericksburg Major Baily led the regiment with great gallantry In the absence of both the colonel and lieutenat colonel. He was afterward breveted major general of volunteers.

At Gaines' Mill he received a dangerous wound In the head. After recovering r. LEA PERKINS' THE ORIGINAL WORCESTERSHIRE Beware of Imitation It is highly approved for the very agreeable zest which it imparts to Soups, Fish, Game, Hot and Cold Meats, Salads, Welsh Rarebits, etc THE READING DAILY TIMES AND DISPATCH, BEADING, PENNA. from this injury he joined his regiment in Maryland and fought at Antietam and all subsequent engagements, ending at Appomattox. Gen.

Baily was an active Republican, and was elected state treasurer in 1889, despite the independent candidacy of Charles S. Wolfe. MONEY FROM LIQUOR LICENSES. An incident of the past week called attention to another matter in which the Republican organization figures to advantage. It is a well known fact that the Brooks high license law, under which the liquor traffic in this commonwealth is governed, is regarded as one of the most satisfactory laws ever placed upon the statute books.

The raising of the license fees to $1,000 in cities of the first class and the correspondingly high figures for less populous communities, has resulted in immense sums of money diverting to the state from liquor licenses. In Philadelphia alone last week there was paid into the city treasury the pnormmia sum of S52S7.402.24 for liquor licenses, and of this sum $534, 200 will go into the state treasury. The collections from licenses throughout the state are a source of great revenue and the placing of power to granting or refusing licenses in the hands of the courts has resulted in a condition of affairs which is much more satisfactory than would be the case were this matter left in the hands of partisan boards. BRYAN FOR FUSION. Col.

James M. Guffey, the leader of the state Democracy, has been at work all week perfecting his scheme for fusion on the legislative tickets. He, of course, announces that he does not aspire to election as United States senator, but his real views on that issue are generally understood. Commentine upon the senatorial is sue, the editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer a few days ago said: "Col. Quay, by the action of the recent state convention, has been made a candidate before the next legislature for senator of the United States.

Where does he stand at the present time? "In the primary elections he has so far made a net gain of 10. not counting nominations made in nine counties which sent Democratic members to the last legislature, but which are always counted upon as Republican in a presidential year. He will gain fully 12 and probably 14 and even 16 in Philadelphia alone. He will carry Chester county and Montgomery, and counting these counties as his, he ha3 enough members in sight to elect him. "There are 33 counties to be heard from yet, and he will increase his lead considerably.

Besides, he will carry various districts that go Republican in presidential years. "Senator Quay, from the present outlook, cannot be beaten. "He represents majority rule as opposed to the rule of party wreckers and small minorities. He can defy party wreckers and minority self seekers and vilifiers this year. "He is practically elected already." Don't Ue Critical.

Whatever you do never set up for a critic. We don't moan a newspaper one, but in private life, in the domestic circle, in society. It will not do any one any good, and it will do you harm if you mind being called disagreeable. If you don't like any one's nose or object to any one's chin, don't put your feelings into words. If any one's manners don't please you.

remember your own. People are not all made to suit one tnste. Recollect that. Take things as you find them unless you can alter them. Even a dinner after it is swallowed cannot bo made any better.

Continual fault finding, continual criticism of the speech of this one and the conduct of that one, the dress of the one and the opinions of the other, will make home the uuhappiewt place under the sun. If you are never pleased with any one, no one will ever be pleased with you. Weekly Budget. Japanese Superstitions. Enlightened as the Japanese are in many ways, it still happens that in cases of sudden outbreak of disease religious festivals are organized with a view to propitiating the Supreme Power, and these functions have the effect of gathering together the people from infected aa well as healthy localities, to spread infection.

Jt is said thnt one's nose is an unerring amide to his character. Napoleon liked his general' to be men with aquiline Hoses. HOW TO HURRY. 1. Do nothing that you don't have to do.

Cut out the nonessentials. 2. Don't hesitate. Begin at once. When you are through, stop, and begin on thp nest thing.

3. Don't be too particular what part of the job you begin with. Other things being equal, do what's under your hand first and the next nearest thing next. 4. Don't pause between jobs.

5. Don't go from one job to another until the first is done. "Do one thing at a time." It takes time to change your mind. 0. Do your thinking while you're acting.

And think about the work in hand 7. If you have assistants, use them. At first do only what they can't do, and afterward help them out. 8. Do nothing twice.

This makes it necessary to do it right the first time. 9. Don't lay down one tool except tc take up another. 10. Beware of looking ont the window.

That way distraction lies. 11. Don't put things off. Do them when you think of them. If you'll follow these rules and a few more that you can make yourself, yon will able to reduce your office hour! about one half; you won't think you're hurrying and you won't be bored and worn out by your work.

New York ThL. signature Is on err try notu. JOHN DUNCAN'S SONS, A rente, New Tork. NO NEW TRIAL FOR NORTON. THE COURT gATS HE WAS FAVORED IN ADMISSION OF TESTIMONY OTHER CASES.

The third week of the May term of civil court opened Monday morning with both judges on the bench. The following cases were continued: Jacob Miller and Solomon Gicker, et al vs. Jacob Kurtz A. J. Fink vs.

William A. Heckman; William H. Mc Kinney vs. the United Traction company; Nathan Brown vs. Catharine Bulles; Henry Barth vs.

United Traction and East Reading Railway companies Jacob J. Harpel vs. Isaac Um benhauer and John Moyer. The case of Caroline Levan vs. Dominic Kremp was settled.

JUDGE ENDLICH'S OPINIONS. In the case of James E. Norton, who was convicted of printing counterfeit Cigarmakers' Union labels. Judge En I licH refused a new trial. In the opinion refusing the same the court says: "A careful scrutiny of the record will show that in the submission of the cause to the jury, the court went rather farther in the defendant's favor than was strictly permissible, and that, upon bis own testimony, there could be but one possible verdict.

The evidence of the absent witness could have done him no good, and upon another trial can have no effect upon the verdict." Judge Endlich handed down the following opinions: In the case of the borough of Birdsboro vs. Julius Jang ner. the following was filed: "It is de creed and ordered that the preliminary injunction be modified so as not to in terfere witn tne erection by defendant of a bay window not exceeding at the widest part (parallel with the street) of the bay window already provided by him, to be constructed with sloping sides, and extending not more than 24 inches into and beyond the building line of Furnace street and that so modified said injunction be continued until final hearing." Pennsylvania Trust Co. vs. Cressman et al.

The defendant, Mary E. Cress man, is entitled to a decree directing the cancellation and surrender of the trust deed of June 17, 1897, in conveyance to her by the Pennsylvania Trust Co. of the property embraced in said deed and to an account of the administrator of the trust up to the time of such cancellation or surrender. In the case of Royer vs. Tinkler the rule to make order for special capias was made absolute.

This was an action instituted to recover damages for personal injuries sustained. The plaintiff was awarded $900 damages by a jury. It was alleged that the defendant was about to evade payment and leave the jurisdiction of the Berks court, so the capias was allowed. In the case of Elizabeth Robbins vs. Neversink Building association.

No. 3, it is ordered that the plaintiff is entitled to maintain this suit and recover therein was a withdraw ng shareholder in the defendant association. The measure of plaintiff's recovery in this action is the withdrawal value of her shares in November, 1896, $305.08 per share. Upon the total of plaintiff's claim at the rate of $305.08 per share, the defendant is liable for interest from the commencement of this suit. The plaintiff is entitled to judgment accordingly.

The plaintiff was the holder of six shares of the capital stock, valued at $300 each, and in October, 1896, gave notice that she desired to withdraw the same and would have been given $270 per share in the general winding up of the association. This she refused and brought suit. Ferguson vs. Greth. Harrisno's petition for rules on trustee in bankruptcy are dismissed at the cost of the petitioner.

MUST APPEAR FOR SENTENCE. Judge Endlich confirmed the special verdict in the case of the Commonwealth vs. A. H. Brooks, C.

O. Rolling and C. Dewitt, charged with defacing the wall of the property of the Evans estate at Third and Chestnut streets by painting thereon a large advertising sign. The defendants were ordered to appear for sentence May 14 at 10 a. m.

AMENDED REPORT. Howard L. Greenawalt, county solicitor, presented the amended report of J. Lew Rake, John Bradley and George W. Beard, viewers of the Staufer bridge in Colebrookdale, which was received by the court.

The viewers passed a favorable recommendation upon the structure. ORPHANS' COURT.

They were married in Pottsville Dec. 14, 1897. Both now live in Reading, and the wife alleges cruel treatment. When the application of Peter Endt, for a retail liquor license for the Gibraltar hotel come up in court, the applicant's father, John G. Endt, objected to his son being granted a license.

The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the Berks court in the case of the Perkiomen Reading Turnpike Co. vs. the county of Berks. The company was given a verdict of for the freeing of the 2,220 feet of the pike between Nineteenth street and Dengler's. The county then appealed to the Supreme Court.

The viewers condemning the pike awarded the company $7,000, and an appeal was then taken to court, when the verdict that is now affirmed was obtained. Caleb J. Bieber had James S. Mengel appointed as supervisor of Tilden. The court approved the finding of the coroner's jury in the inquest on the body of William B.

Shindler, who was killed by a premature explosion at Siesholtr.vIUe. m) 65 Ilim THE MARKETS. RENEWAL OF WEAKNESS LATEST STOCK. FLOUR, FEED, GRAIN AND PRODUCE QUOTATIONS. Philadelphia, May 7.

A renewal of weakness in the steel and iron shares disturbed the stock market today, and was followed by lower prices in the major portion of the list, but the volume of business and the already oversold condition of the market prevented other than trifling variations. No response was made to the advance in Americans at London, where more favorable war news and easier prospects for money imparted increased strength throughout the list, and was the means of improving the price of consols. The knowledge that the American Steel and Wire company directors would meet today and the announcement of the closing of the Illinois steel plant at Joliet, although previously foreshadowed, was used to depress the whole group of metal shares.
