county of Luzerne. Instead of ar gumen't J. T. Lenahan, counsel for Mr. Boland, will be content to submit his brief of the case and rest on that.

The tortet, which is entitled "Report of Re feree and Exceptions," embraces many quotations irom tne text books and covers nine pages of type written mat ter. Mr. Lenahan says, "the defendant's exceptions to the referee's report may ce an emDracea in considei'ine tihe questions whether the contract between tne prison commissioners and the plain tilt is void for the following objection is a Good Thing to be rid of, because bad blood is the breeding place of disfiguring and dangerous diseases. Is your blood bad It is if you are plagued by pimples or bothered by boils, if your skin is blotched by eruptions or your body eaten by Bores and ulcers. You can have good blood, which is pure blood, if you want it.

You can be rid of pimples, boils, blotches, sores and ulcers. How By the use of 1 It is the radical remedy for all diseases originating in the blood. Read the evidence Ayer's Sarsaparilla was recommended to me by my physician as a blood purifier. When I began taking it I had boils all over my body. One bottle cured me." Bonner Craft, Wesson, Miss.

"After eix years' suffering from blood poison, I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and although I have used only three bottles of this great medicine, the sores have nearly all disappeared." A. A. Manning, Houston, Texas. DM MM Sarsaparllla urged by the 'First That the commissioners, by the act of Jane, IStKi (P. L.

J17) are to direct the manner in which all provisions necessary for 1he support of prisoners shall be purchased; determine the quality and amount of food to be furnished daily to the prisoners, and therefore that these duties in this respect by the contract in question are delegated to another "It is true that under the act the duties named devolve upon the prison commissioners, but the act does apt contemplate a personal purchasing of supplies nor a daily determination of their quality and amount. "If the quality and amount has been at any time fixed 'by the commissioners that is sufficient determination until a change is made by them. As for the manner of purchasing, they may direct that in various ways according to their discretion. They may direct ft to be purchased by public bidding or by private contract. "The evidence shows that the quantity and quality of food allowance for each prisoner was regularly fixed by a former board; that this allowance has not been" changed, but is yet adhered to by the present board.

This evidence fully justifies the findings of the referee in this rpsnpWr. "In the absence of fraud or collusion between the board and he keeper, of which there is no allegation in this case, we fail to see how the contract can be against public policy. With reference to the making of contracts for sums over $100 according to act of 1895 Mr. Lenahan says does not apply, as the contract in question was not made with the county commissioners, or with the county, but with the prison board. To hold to the contrary would be to hold Uhalt the act of 1808 was repealed by the act of In Johnson and' Powell vs.

Luzerne county Judge Bennett held that the sheriff had a right to advertise elections and that such contract would not require the approval of the controller, not being within the scope of the act of In conclusion Mr. Lenahan says the ants of assembly in various counties of this state have directed the compensa tion of the sheriff for the board of pris oners to be fixed in like manner. Other counties, without express legislative authority, have made contracts with sheriffs for the keep of prisoners at a certain sum per head per diem. In fact, it may be said that this is the Invariable manner 1n Which, all such contracts have been made for many years in public institutions In the state, of like character. And where these contracts have come up in the courts the method of compensation has never been questionedwe have to learn at this lats day that it is vicious." WILL TEST THE RULING Harry Lelm ThlnkS'he Is Paying Too Much for a License.

A writ of alternative mandamus has been asked for by Harry Leim, hotel keeper, to compel County Treasurer P. Robinson to accept the sum of $350 as full payment for a retail liquor li cense. This action is taken as a test case and although it was decided against the hotel keepers by Judge Rice several years ago, if was also decided recently another judge the other way and this case will probably be taken to the court of appeal. 'March 18 is the last day for taking out liquor Judge Lynch granted a rule and fixed a 'hearing for 2 o'clock this afternoon. ARE THESE THE MEW? Forty Fort Burglars Thonght to Have Keen Captured.

The police believe they have captured the burglars who robbed the residence of Robert Shoemaker on Wyoming avenue. Forty Fort. Three Hungarians were cleverly nabbed in this city and articles were found on their persons which will likely connect them with the burglary. The three suspects boarded a West Pittston car at Maltby for this city and each gave a street car ticket bearing the same number. The conductor heard that a book of street car tickets had been stolen from Mr.

Shoemaker. The Hungarians could not give a satisfactory explanation of where they procured the tickets and when the car reached this city they were arrested. The men gave their names as Joseph Shosky. Frank Muscavitz and Joseph Jahafski of Fuller's Patch. When searched in the station house portions of the street car book were found on each.

The book was identified as one which was purchased recently toy Mr. Shoemaker. A cigar case owned by Mr. Shoemaker was also found on Muscavitz. One of the men had a large screw driver in bis pocket.

The case was given to the Barring McSweeney detective agency yesterday morning. Mr. Barrings says these men were members of "Terri'ble Pete's" gang. DRAWING TO A CLOSE A Verdict will Soon be Had In the O'Malley Case. In court yesterday morning the O'Malley ease wars resumed.

George Davis was called. His story related chiefly to the placing of a street lamp in Scranton Patch. Mr. Davis said the lamp was placed there by direction of the town council. The cutting on Main street, where the accident occurred, had been done, he said, in 18! 12.

Mr. Davis said he had known of a path in front of the Keenan house since 18t9 or '70. On cross examination Mr. Davis could not say why the street lamp was placed in the Patch; it might have been at the request of the citizens to light them to a hydrant located there. Mr.

Davis said that personally he didn't know of any work being done on the paths in the Patch. Mr. McGahren "Have you ever seen hucksters go through there?" "No. sir." was any restriction placed them?" upon "No. sir." Counsel Indulged in some caustic remarks on the character of witness' testimony, but they were promptly rebuked by the court Clarke Stull, a surveyor, was called to describe the width of Main street at the point where the accident occurred.

Witness gave the width at 35 feet. A short distance above that, or at a point about opposite Ash street; the road is 48 feet wide1.

The Grow Misuse of the Nominative Case of Frononns. "There is one extremely common mis tiike in English which always fills me with sadness when it does not fill me with vexation," said the man who tries to bo careful In his use of language. "1 do not like to preach general discourses on the use of bad language, because I do not feel safe, and one's sermon in such a case is so likely to be a ridiculous example of the thing complained of. But this mistake is so gross and palpable that any one with an elementary knowledge of grammar should recognize It. The thing which makes it peculiarly sad or vexatious is the fact that the error is often made by persons who make some pretense of using good Eng lish.

Half or 73 per cent of the school teachers, I will venture to say, make this mistake. It is the use of such exprensions as 'Between you and 'They asked you and I to 'Let you and I or, more horriblo still, 'They saw he and I up In other words, it is the use of the nominativo form of the pronoun as the object of a preposition or a verb. "The reason for this is obvious. It is known that ignorant persons use such ex pressions as 'Him and me went up town' or 'You and mo was People learning that such expressions ore incorrect somehow get the notion that it is never correct to use such a form as 'You and or 'Him and or 'Them and They feel guilty whenever they are caught using such a combination of words, and doubtless if they heard a person say, 'They asked him and me to come to the which alone is correct, they would have a sense that an error had been made. They get to feel that the conjunction 'and' hag a kind of double action control, govern ing the nominative oase at both ends.

A little reflection would remind them that this word has nothing at all to do with the cases. "A sure cure for this bad habit is to drop the 'and' and use each of the pronouns alone. What person, for instance. who would say 'They asked you and I to come' would also say 'They asked I to or what person who would without hesitation say 'Let you and I go' oould ever be oaught saying 'Lot I Many of the people who use 'you and I' as the object of a verb would not go so far as to say 'They asked he and I if we would but there are porsons who go this length and display an annoying sense of superiority in doing It. They feel that thore is something elegant about the combinations, 'He and ''Sho and and They and ond scorn tho humble accu sative forms, yet even these would hardly say 'They saw or 'They saw or They saw Why in the world, then, should the 'and' make any difference in their speech? This is a point to which it would be well for teachurs of English to give their atton tion.
