T. Weaber offered the following: "Resolved, That it Is the sense of this comittee that the delegates from Lehigh County to the coming Democratic state conven.tion,ahould vote against what is called the unit rule as it is not in accordance with true Democratic principles." This brought the vigorous young dls-trlot attorney, John L. Schwartz, to his feet. He said the opposition to the unit rule was the senseless bosh and talk of newspapers, Introduced and furthered through the state by the kickers In the Democratic party known as the state Demooracy.and that the question would not come up at all at the state convention. He moved to lay it on the table.

Some others wanted to talk. Chairman Kline declared the motion was not debatable. The resolution was shelved 50 to 10. The committee then adjourned to the cellar to drink to the health of Mr. Ul I' or eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey: Fair, winds shifting to northerly.

YE FISHERMEN. Our line of fishing tnekle is very large, all new and prices very low. Come and see It. Allentown Athletic Agency, S14 Hamilton Streets, th-s Judfe Scott Decides That the Auditors Have a Right to Them. Judge Scott yesterday morning at Easton, handed down an opinion In the matter between the prison Inspectors end the Northampton County auditors.

It Is decided on technical grounds alone, that the county auditors are given power by an act of assembly to require the production of books and papers, and the court has no supervision of this on a writ of habeas except to ascertain If they have jurisdiction over the subject they are investigating. If they have, the court, has no control of the matter until the auditors file their report. The Inspectors are invested with a discretion as to their management subject only to the visitorial power of the court. Thus it would seem the treasurer Is required to honor such drafts as they may draw and these warrants would be "his vouchers." If it be so then no balance could be stated against the treasurer unless upon their face the warrants appeared illegal, as he is not a member of the prison board nor responsible for its management. Whether the vouchers called for are In his hands or theirs is not material, if being produced, the auditors could not restate his account.

He cannot be held responsible for Improper management of a prison board, nor bound to see that debts over which he lias no control are properly contracted and paid. There is, it seems, one other legally possible condition under which this proceeding could be available, ami that is in a case of criminal collusion between the inspectors and a treasurer by which warrants might be drawn for sums largely in excess of bills contracted, and the balance divided. In that event it is probable tbe treasurer could be surcharged. Neither counsel nor court expect such a collusion. It will pay you to examine our guaranteed $10.

The Allentown Boy Is as Fins a Bird as Flies. Something About the Music. From the Boys' Brigade Magazine. The Allentown boy Is about as fine a bird as files In this garden of earth. 1 know the Allentown boy well and I think I ought to know of his fineness.

Many a casual observer might look him over and declare the Allentown boy was no different; no better; no worse; than the Philadelphia boy; or the Scranton boy; or the Lancaster boy. Perhaps even a very keen student of boy nature might say so. I don't know the Lancastrian; or the Scrantonian; or the Philadelphian. I do know the Allentown boy, from the butt-end of his gun, to the peak of his Brigade cap, and from his twinkling eye, to his tender, erratic heart. Therefore, I repeat, the Allentown boy, as a composite, is a capital chap.

I will match his against the the nation; yes, the world. He Is in the Boys' Brigade to the number of 160. There are three companies of him. Co. A was started about two years ago.

It still retains over 60 of its original members, who have stood by It through thick and thin. In Co. there are between 50 and fiO boys, and In Co. about 40. The last named company comprises the "kids," that If, boys of 13 and under.

They are equipped with wooden guns and have no regular uniform. The average age of the other two companies is about 15 and there are a number of boys of 16, 17 and even 18 years, in the ranks. I donl believe there is a battalion In the state that has so gre.it a proportion of big boys, fellows who are old enough for young manhood, but are content to remain boys a little longer because of their loyalty to the Brigade. The Battalion is connected with the Y. M.

C. A. The boys come from half-a-dozen different churches. They represent every ward in a city of and five of them live in Catasauqua, three miles away. Everybody in the town knows about their organization and a uniformed Brigade boy Is as ordinary a sight around town as a brick house or a trolley car.

Every Friday evening the orchestra rehearses. There are seven violins, two cornets, a fife and a piano. They began IS months ago with a nucleus of four. They have been growing and improving ever since, and are now in frequent demand at church sociables, receptions, etc. The autoharp club, which comprises four autoharps, three mouth organs and a xylophone, Is equally popular.

It rehearses on Thursday eve. Then 15 of the boys have formed a glee club and every Tuesday evening they practice college songs together for an hour. Once a month there is a public drill for a gold medal, and these three musical clubs furnish a preliminary program. The Hasty Pudding Club Is another Brigade outgrowth. It has ten members and presents comedies at intervals.

Take a dose of DeWltt's Little Early Risers just for the good they will do you. These little Pills are good for indigestion, good for headache, good for liver complaint, good for constipation. They are good. II. L.

Bishop Joyce Preaches. Easter was more generally observed in Chester than for many years. SpecIsM services were hold In all the twenty-five churches in that city. At old St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church the old silver service, presented to the parish by Queen Anne, of England, was laid aside after over lilO years of use, and will be locked up In a safe deposit vault for safe keeping.

A handsome new service was presented to the church by the children of the late Samuel A. Dyer, in memory of their father, who was a prominent support of the church. Bishop Joyce, o'f the Methodist Episcopal Church, who Is presiding at the sessions of the Delaware conference. In that city, addressed an audience of over 1S00 people In the opera house on Sunday morning. Six young ministers, who had passed the examination before the Delaware conference were ordained Sunday afternoon by Bishop Joyce at St.

Daniel's Church, in the presence of an audience which filled that sanctuary. It is not a miracle. It won't cure everything, but it will cure piles. That's what DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve will do. because It has done It in hundreds of eases.

Coming in for Sharp Criticism. AMATEUR RACES WILL SOON BE OVER Gideon and His Racing Board Are at It Again-Ridiculous Rule That Interferes With Industrious Racing Men. The new racing rules of the L. A. W.

are coming In for some sharp criticism from all quarters. On all sides it is charged that the amateur lines are too closely drawn for the welfare of racing this season. For Instance. A certain rule says: "Any cyclist ceases to be an amateur by riding after April, 1S90, in any bicycle race upon any make of bicycle offered for sale or manufactured In any factory, store, or other place of business in which he is employed in any capacity Whatsoever." In the opinion of every lover of racing this rule is a disgrace to the League of American Wheelmen. It robs the word "amateur" of its true meaning and significance.

It is the height of stupidity to assume that a man races for a livelihood because he is employed in some capacity about a factory, store, or other place where bicycles arc made or sold. It is natural tljat the employe of a cycle factory or sfcre should ride the wheel which he helps to make or sell. He could not reasonably be expected to ride any other wheel. He Is Just aitlvcly Interested In I trjhck racing, but the as; ust the rider to be local road and nut tne assumption or tne rdclng board that he is racing for purely business purposes is illogical. The infraction of this rule may throw out of the amateur ranks such fast and promising racers as Ray Crouse and R.

L. Arner, of Allentown, who are employed by cycle dealers, and Charles O. Kfdd, of Bethlehem, who Is Interested as an agent, and will have a great tendency to Injure the sport In the matter of public interest. With this rule In force there can be nothing else but hippo-droming In amateur races and the sport must surely fall flat. For racing men to hold their positions and remain ''amateurs" Jones, who rides a Columbia, and Smith, who rides a Rambler, must trade wheels when they race.

As neither wants to see his own wheel beaten the race must eventually prove a farce. The stupidity and erroneous-ness of the rule must sooner or later be seen by the racing board and repealed, is, be repealed at. onoa If it isn't the best wheelmen hereabouts will have to turn professionals and amateur races will soon be a thing of the past. $5 trousers made to order that were formerly $7 that lit the figure from hip to heel and stay the way they are made.

7-tf Allentown, Pa. THE YOUNG TRAGEDIAN. Mr. Kennedy Acted Splendidly and Carries Fine Scenery With Him. Walter Kennedy, the powerful tragedian, and his strong supporting company made their Initial bow to the Allentown public in the Academy last night.

The play was "Samson and Delilah. The thrilling story of the Bible was woven Into a drama by Win. Dean How-ells and is being interpreted by Kennedy and his players. The cast included the following: Walter Kennedy, Louis Hartman, William Gross, Gray Fowler, Robert J. Barrett, Khvyn Stevens, Frederic Melville, Charles Hurtling, Burt Montague, Barney Collins, Miss Jeanne Fowler and Miss Belle Gat'f ney.

Mr. Kennedy was Samson. He is a splendid physical specimen and portrayed his part with a great deal of force. Delilah, who was Miss Fowler, was equally well represented. Misa Gaffney, as Melenh, performed her part to perfection.

The climax where tore down the pillars of the temple was thrilling. The scene depicting the fallen temple with the bodies of the Philistines lying among the ruins was a splendid specimen of stage panoramics. To-nlglit the company will play "Othello," and to-morrow night, "Vir-ginius." Popular prices, 10, 20 and cents. 35 cent white shirts at Dresher Stephen's. 7-tf PATTISON AND ECU.SD MONEY.

The Democratic Standing: Committee's Meeting-Was a Notable One. ENDORSED PATTISON FOR PRESIDENT The Disciples of Andrew Jackson Will Hold Their Annual County Meeting; at Rittersville in the Balmy Days of June. The Democratic county standing committee made history yesterday afternoon. They knocked out a resolution opposing the unit rule, a personal victory for District Attorney John L. Schwartz, and strong resolutions were adopted endorsing Pattison for president.

The choosing of Rittersville for the county meeting came about in this wise: There were only two candidates, Ed. TJlmer, of Rittersville, and Wilson A. Shankweiler, of Fogelsville. The drift toward Ulmer was very noticeable for the past few days immediately after the withdrawal of Al Hendricks. Mr.

Ulmer had canvassed the county while Mr. Shankweiler announced himself later. The country people must drive anyhow and they thought they might as well drive to Allentown as anywhere else. So to Rittersville it went. The time is June 6.

The date of the primaries Is July 17. Joseph Kuhns, president of the prison board, was elected treasurer of the committee. The chairman appointed three auditors. Mr.Klinemade a ringing speech In accepting the re-election to the chairmanship. He preached organization, the secret of victory last fall and exhorted the committeemen and their constituents to active harmonious work for the Democracy.

An Important pointer showing how desperately the coming campaign will be fought was the scurrying of the candidates to register their names on the primary ticket. When it was all over 21 had registered; 21 had passed the $15 fee to the chairman as an entry fee in the free for all race; no handicaps. They fairly threw checks and long green at the chairman. The hustling of the candidates to get registered was amusing. The rules provide that as soon as organization is effected the chairman must receive all preferred registrations.

No sooner had Mr. Kline been elected chairman and Squire Hendricks secretary than a member of the committee arose and said very "Mr. Chairman." Mr. Kline recognized the member, who said: "I hereby tender you the fee of $15 for the registration of -Richard J. Klotz, of Fogelsville, as a candidate for county commissioner." Mr.

Kline accepted the money. This little Incident for the time being broke up the meeting. There was a rush from all parts to get on the list. There is an idea that the man at the head of the list has the better chance. There are always some voters who don't know any of the candidates and they generally vote the one at the head or at the bottom, which is also a favorite place.

So great was the rush that the cr airman made them come along an aisle, each taking his turn like gallery gods waiting for the opening of the ticket office. Inside of five minutes Mr. Kline had almost $300 in registration fees. So close was the race that the chairman even put down the seconds of the time of the registration so that there would be no chance whatever for dispute. When the dust had cleared and the list made up It was like this, the time; name and office being mentioned In order: 5.44" Richard J.

Then came up the report of that famous committee of nine of last year on the new rules. The rules by resolution at Laury's last year were left over to the new committee. They were read by Charles R. Horn in full. The proposed rules abolish the Crawford system and provide for three conventions, legislative, judicial and county.

They provide that the legislative convention nominate candidates for congress, state senator and assemblymen. John J. Hanlon offered an amendment to have the assemblymen and state senator switched off into the county convention. was defeated after much The proposed rules were finally laid on the table. They will be discussed and probably disposed of at a special meeting May 2.

By that time they will be printed. The next action of the committee was the endorsing of ex-Governor Pattison for president. The resolutions, which were offered by District Attorney John L. Schwartz, are as follows: "Resolved, Thnt the Democratic standing committee of the county of Lehigh, representing the electors of the aforesaid party do heartily and cordially endorse for president of the United States the Hon. Robert K.

Pattison, whose matchless record as governor of the state of Pennsylvania has never been eclipsed and which Is a sure guarantee to the people of these United States of a safe, economical and upright administration of Its affairs. "And be It further resolved, That the Democracy of the county of Lehigh through Its representative In the standing committee to-day heve assembled, do recognize In the Hon, William F. Harrlty a leader whose generalship chairman of the national committee has given a Democratic president to the United States, and the continuance of htm at the head of the national commit-, tt rrwant! victory in The resolutions were loudly applaud-d and were adopted unanimously. Then came the most exciting scene of Fred E. Lewis Says Several Important Things to His Patrolment.

TO BREAK UF SEVERAL BAD PRACTICES The Abominable Habit of Corner Loafing end Liquor Selling on SundayHe Suggests a Way the Forfie May be Increased. Hon. Fred E. Lewis, who was Inaugurated mayor of Allentown yesterday-held his first mayor's court at 1 o'clock to-day. He had several important things to say to his patrolmen.

He doesn't try to reform the whole world at once but will endeavor to break up two practices, the abominable corner loafing and Sunday liquor selling. The policemen were first instructed to enforce better order on Hamilton Street. The chief of police was instructed to have his patrolmen on Hamilton Street next Saturday night between Fifth and Ninth Streets between the hours of 7 and 10 o'clock. The chief will Insist that the officers enforce the regulations against corner loafing, lounging In doorways and loud talk. If any offenders are brought before the mayor they will be severely dealt with for tlie reason that ha considers loafing and loud talking great evils and correction of them a much needed reform.

The insulting of women and vile talk will positively be suppressed. Mayor Lewis also Instructed his chief of police to have his patrolmen keep a watchful eye on all saloons to see that the Sunday law Is properly observed. This Is to apply particularly to saloons In the Sixth Ward; yet It will be applied generally If law breakers are found In any other part of the city. In his instructions to the force to-day the mayor spoke generally. There are some more things he will call their attention to later on.

For the present he wants the police to attend to the two evils mentioned. Mayor Iewis said that Chief of Police Herrity would give his personal supervision to the saloons of the Sixth Ward to see that they were all closed on Sundays. The mayor said that if any one felt like complaining about stationing all the policemen on Hamilton Street, complaint should be made to councilmen with a request to increase the police force. Then part could be placed on Hamilton Street and the others could patrol the rest of the town- In Mayor Lewis' opinion there should be 2t police, the chief and 20 patrolmen. With that number the town could be divided Into 14 districts.

The police would have eight hour shifts and 14 would be on duty all the time. Yesterday afternoon the mayor qualified John Martin and Henry Fluck as cltv assessors and administered the oath of office to Dr. George M. Romig, the newly appointed member of the health board. The mayor also made a rule to abolish smoking in tbe mayor's office.

Mayor's court will be held at 1 o'clock every afternoon. Mayor Lewis will spend a good deal of time In the city offices; when he Is not there cai be found at his law offices at 524 Hamilton Street.

It was a genuine closing up of side doors and back alleys and for the first Sunday In a long time hotel men and bar tenders had a day of rest and they say they propose to rest on the seventh day hereafter all through the year. That refreshing and exhilarating beverage, eggnog, was tapped yesterday morning. In some places it was being gulped down at such early hours that nearly all other residents were enjoying sleep at the time. Saloons weretj 'osed tight in South Bethlehem, did not prevent a few from getting tight.

Allentown is only six miles away. Up there "every thing seems to go" on Sunday, and, though It's a more or less expensive trip, what does money count when a man's thirsty? The bottlers did a big busi ness on Saturday. The enforcement of the Sunday law Is a bonanza for them. Box after box of bottled beer was delivered to private houses on Saturday night. The doctors, too, had opportunities.

In several cases they were importuned for prescriptions by individuals with cramps in the stomach. In only one or two casesjiowever.was the necessary medical formula forth coming. It was a very dry Kaster and It was much better for the town that It was dry. If Judge Scott's edicts will keep the saloons always tight on Sunday there will be few kickers. 25 YEARS A PRIEST.
