In imposing sentence, Judge Mac- Farland said: "The law of Pennsylvania, I find, provides a penalty of ten years in the penitentiary for stealing a horse, yet a man can steal $1,000,000 and get away on three years' imprisonment." "Something seemed to take hold of me when I got that money in my hands," said Cunliffe to Judge Mac- Farland. "I don't know how it was, but It seemed as though 1 simply couldn't reelst the groat temptation that came to me." All but $<1,632.40 of the money stolen by Cunliffe was recovered. The sentence is cumulative, three years being imposed for the theft of $100,000 and three for the stealing the additional $1,000. This is the limit of punishment imposed by the law, although the sentence carries with it a fine of $200. in Penitentiary. Adams Express Clerk (Jet* Si* Years Edward G.

There was great competition for this production, as it is said to be practlaclly the only legitimate "Opera Comique" in the States. The story is laid in the feudal ages In the Province of Burgundy, and is built upon the vicclssitudes of the famous "Charles the Bold" and the venturesome "Princess Chic." It is said to be one of the few compositions of the day which have escaped the "musical comedy" trial which has dragged its length over so many operatic productions. The story offers endless posslblity for gorgeous scenery. Spectacularly it is said to be bewildering. Musically, It is the best yet given by Mr. Julian Edwards.Miss Elaine Von Thlele, fresh from her Convent Garden successes, will appear In the role of the rollicking "Princess Chic."

One of the most radical steps that has been taken in the glass situation in this district occurred Saturday afternoon when T. P. Welch, general manager of the Fitzpatrick Glass Company, at. Falls Creek, turned off the fires at that place. The tire had been lit for some time and in the neighborhood of 250 men were on hand to go to work Saturday night. As. Mr. Welch left for New York Saturday it was impossible to secure an explanation, and the men are much in the dark as to the object of the movement in cutting them out of employment after they had come here. A large proportion of the men left yesterday and this morning to find work elsewhere. There is one statement to the effect that the present price of glass would make it unprofitable to run the plant. —DuBois Express. FEICHT'S The coming of cool weather tightens up the joints.
