IN ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, JUIiY 21, 1000. REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS. JUSTICE OP THE SUPREME COURT Judge Robert Von Moschzlsker, of Philadelphia. AUDITOR GENERAL, A. E. SISSON, of Eric. STATE TREASURER, Jeremiah A. Stober, of Lancaster. JURY COMMISSIONER, . 11. Bullock. Sixteen men in a submarine boat, went to the bottom and remained there, after a collision with a steam snip off Lowestof, Eng., Thursday last. More ways than one In which to drown. Earthquakes are still joEgling Greece. On Thursday last several villages were destroyed In the prov ince of Ells, the capitol of which is Pyrgos. Many people perished. Evelyn Thaw spoiled her evi dence which was said to be so favorable to Harry, by finally ad mitting that he had, at her inter view with him at Mattewan asylum, threatened to kill her. It appears that seven women, at least, were shot, during the recent riot of the employes of the Pitts burg Pressed Steel company. It is said that they were more vlole'nt in their assault upon employes who at tempted to return to work than were the men strikers. Poor busi ness for women or men. The Wall Street Journal predicts that the price of living will be ad vanced, right away. That the tariff will not help. That manufacturing will be more expensive, and shrills a lot more croakings of that nature. Don't climb any stiles 'till you reach them. Let us have peace dur ing the hot season anyway. Those editorials by "John Burrett, diplomat," which appear regularly in the Carbondale Leader, chock full of vehemence, capitalized words and black-faced type, are certainly at tractive. If John's picture, which accompanies each effusion, and the 36-pt. headings were a little bigger, the articles would cover more ter ritory. That a man who has in his veins the blood of a race other than those of the white man or the negro, even though he has served the country faithfully, and even though he ap pears to be a white man and intelli gent, and otherwise a good candi date, cannot be a citizen of the U. S., is the effect of an interesting de cision which was handed down Fri day by Judgo XJhatfield in the Unit ed States Court. President Taft has exercised exe cutive clemency in favor of a woman for the first time since his inauguration. He also rebuked Judge Landis and held to the doc trine that promises made to the ac cused should be fulfilled. The woman, Marion Gray, 22 years of age, was prosecuted for conducting a matrimonial agency. She was promised that if she burned her records, and the addresses of peo ple with whom she had done busi ness, and plead guilty, she would escape with a fine. Instead of fine he was sentenced to a year's im prisonment. President Taft reduced this to one month. According to Consul-General Jones, of Winnipeg, the Canadians In that section of the Dominion wouid like 4o have a Protective duty, or rather a discriminating one against rats if such a thing were possible. He says that they have never known rats up in that country until recent ly, but they are now marching on Winnipeg and have appeared in the towns of Emerson and Gretna, Man itoba, a few miles north of the United States boundaries, and were trekking northward. All of the municipalities on the Canadian side of the bound ary are taking up the subject to de rise some plan to meet the situation, as the rats are very injurious to the grain raised In that section. A house of detention which doesn't detain is the Government lunatic asylum, at Washington. Eighty pa tients escaped last year. Dr. White, superintendent of the asylum, Is in vestigating the caretakers. John D. Rockefeller Is, it is stat ed, transferring big chunks of real estate to his son, J. Rockefeller, Jr. In fact, almost all his holdings. It can't possibly be that John, sen ior, is financially embarrassed? It is estimated that 1000 boys bathed in little Lake Lincoln, near Scranton, Wednesday. If this is to be a frequent occurrence, some en terprising citizen will soon be using the contents of that pond for soap grease. Geo. Nowyokot, Judge of elec tion of the "Ridge" district, Scran ton, must serve the one year's sen tence imposed for falsifying election returns, as the Superior Court in Philadelphia has affirmed the judg ment of the court sentencing. If you know of any material bet ter and cheaper than Khaki for soldier togs, advise the U. S. War department. Its officers are look ing for such goods, and when they are accepted, perhaps they will al low the informant to bid on fur nishing it. Crops are having a hard time for their lives this year. Out in Kan sas and Missouri, rain and floods are spoiling the agricultural products, while in this latitude, they are burping up. That assertion con cerning the moisture for the Just and the unjust, would seem to have a leak in it, somewhere. The constitutionality of the law forbidding teachers in public schools to wear any religious garb, was sus tained by the Superior Court, Judge Rice presiding, Thursday last. The directors of the school at Mount Joy thought otherwise and were in dicted. They know more now, than they did. Pedestrian Edward Payson Wes ton on Wednesday, finished his tramp across the continent, of near ly 4000 miles. His schedule time was 100 days and he failed to con nect by five days. That was too bad, and must have been a great disappointment to the aged traveler and his thousands of friends. The Board of Public Buildings and Grounds, on Wednesday last, postponed action for two weeks on the placing of the statue of M. S. Quay, deceased, in the rotunda of the capitol. The board has ac cepted as gifts to the State, paint ings of Abraham Lincoln, Gen. An thony Wayne and Gen. P. A. Muh lenberg, to bo placed in the capitol. Another "Darius Green" has had a tumble from his "flyin' masheen." Alex Williams who had driven auto mobiles, and who thought he knew all about aerial navigation, on Sun day last, at New York, took George H. Curtis' aeroplane which cost 55,000, scooted into the atmosphere about sixty feet, when he lost con trol, and the thing struck ground with a crash. His left arm was brok en, thumb dislocated, and his body was' badly bruised. He now knows more about aeroplanes than he did That the United States chews and smokes more tobacco than any other country in the north-temper ate zone, was shown by the recent debate in the Senate over the to bacco schedule in the tariff bill. Against a per capita consumption of 2.9 pounds in Austria, 2.4 in Hungary, 2.2 in France, 2 pounds in England and 1.1 pounds in Italy we have a per capita consumption of C pounds. This means an aver age annual consumption of nearly 17 pounds for every male person in the Republic over 16 years of age. The United States government now obtains about $80,000,000 of revenue from customs and excise on tobacco. On the basis of existing consumption in the United States the government statisticians have calculated that if we imposed the taxes applied in the United Kingdom the tobacco revenue would amount to ?280, 000,000 instead of $80, 000,000; to ;436,586,000 if the French rates of taxation or charge were applied; and to $477,675,000 if the Italian rates were imposed. It is doubtful if additional taxation would curtail tobacco consumption. It did not do so when the Spanish war tax was added, and which has since been kept on by the Tobacco Trust, though not paid to the gov ernment. The trust controls 80 per cent, of the tobacco trade. Elite Boston affords its jurors' alpaca coats, these sultry days. It should add linen breeches, fans, and soda-cocktails, to be really humane. "Weston Tired, After His walk," says the Scranton Tribune. It's queer that a young fellow like him can't take a little stroll of that kind, without complaining of weariness. It is said that In Newburg, the other day, a chap who begged a nlckle was given a sentence of ten days, by the Recorder. The culprit thankfully exclaimed: "Lord! I'm glad I didn't ask for a dollar." A dispatch from Teheran, receiv ed Saturday says that Parliament has deposed Mohamed Alt and named Ahmed Melza, his second son, as suc cessor. Also that the new Shah is but 12 years of age. This is startling but it probably will not affect the price of tripe in this latitude. The Ashokan reservoir, to supply water for New York City, will, it Is said, cover the present site of four teen public graveyards, and many private ones, the remains in which will be removed in so far as possi ble. How one will enjoy that water as a beverage if acquainted with the fact above stated. News reaches us from Baltimore that a young lady named Otlila Wet grand, has died poisoned by a chemical solution taking the place of solder. She was employed in the sealing department of the Con tinental Canning Co. and she is the second girl to die from the cause stated. The proprietors of that concern should be fed on that solu tion for a week. William J. Bryan hasn't succeed ed, after various trials, in seating himself in the Presidential chair, but he is ready to give the present incumbent advice and counsel, nevertheless. He now asks Presi dent Taft to allow the people to vote on popular election of Senators, and pledges himself to help the Presi dent, in case he isn't able to swing the scheme. So kind. Dr. Distaso says one doesn't need to grow old. That you can bo al ways young, if you begin when a child, by having your stomach, verl miform appendix and other useless appendages removed. Says the stom ach is a nonsensical incumbrance as well as the appendix. It is simply a playground for worms and things and is no good anyway. We just use it because we think we have to. Why didn't he tell us all this when we were young? Here's a queer stato of doings: Magistrate Neumer, ot the Manhat tan avenue police court, New York City, decided, last Wednesday, that a father who had legal charge of his daughter thirteen years of age had no right to Instruct her against her will, in the form of religion she should follow. It has always been supposed that a parent, who legally supported and cared for his children, has, if any one has, the right to in struct them in religion, as well as in other things. The parent will appeal from the decision to the Supreme Court. We saw the other day an item to the effect that twenty-five hundred veterans of the late war die every month. So many! It will not be long until there will be no G. A. R. men those sturdy veterans who went forth in young manhood to preserve the Union. True the other side, the ones who wore the gray are also passing away as rapidly In fact more rapidly it seems and within a few years there will be nothing of that Great Rebellion ex cept the treasured memories of the clhldren, and the bronze and gran ite which mark the battle fields. Twenty-two Republican members and one Democratic member of the House of Representatives were in formed by President Taft on Friday last that he wanted the tariff revision downward, and would devote him self to that end. He made it plain that he was not in sympathy with the efforts of his callers to present reductions in the duty on articles for which they were demanding pro tection. He wants the forthcoming tariff law to provide for free hides, free oil, free coal and free iron ore and a reduction of fifty per cent, in the present duty on sawed lumber. The tariff conferees gave it as their opinion that these things could not be accomplished, but this did not cause the president to change his position. Pennsylvania's Monument to War Heroes. The stato legislature has appro priated money for the erection of a $200,000 memorial at Gettysburg to the soldiers who fought in Penn sylvania regiments in the battles which were the turning point in the Civil war, and drove the Confeder ates out of the Northern states, not to again return. It Is fitting that Pennsylvania should erect one of the finest monuments on the battlefield, which is now dotted with so many memorials. The site chosen for the memorial is a tract of four acres at Hancock and Plcasanton avenues, close to the high water mark of the war, and it Is hoped to complete and dedicate the monument by October 1, 1910. All survivors of the battle who fought In Pennsylvania regiments will have their fares paid by the state, If they will attend the dedi catory services. The design calls for tablets around the base of the monument. These will be of bronze and number 86 in all, containing the names of all soldiers who fought in the 86 Pennsylvania organizations engaged in the battle and who answered roll call at the muster for pay on July 3, 1863, the day before the battle opened. These names are being copied in the record and pension bureau of the war department. Times. Killed by Fall from Bridge. John Golden, of 709 Alder street, Scranton, died at the State hospital at midnight, Friday, as the result of injuries he received in a fall from the Spruce street bridge early the same morning. Up until a short time before he died, Golden's condition was not considered serious. More or less mystery surrounds the young man's fall from the bridge. Early Friday morning Pa trolman Thomas Casey of the South Scranton precinct was attracted by a coat lying on the bridge walk over the Laurel Line tracks. Thinking that possibly someone had fallen over the rail, he Investigated and found Golden unconscious on the tracks, about forty feet below. The young man was removed to the State hospital, where it was ascertained that he had a compound fracture of the right leg. It is thought now that he also received internal injur ies, which resulted in his death. DEAR, KIND LITTLE EVA. Tells Why Slio Turned Against Thaw. Before leaving White Plains for New York Thursday evening, Eve lyn Thaw discussed her testimony. "If the Thaw family had done the right thing by me, I would never have taken the stand to testify against my husband," she said. "But they wouldn't guarantee me the allowance I asked for when the annulment proceedings were begun. If they had done that, I would have been far away from here to-day and Harry would have a better chance of getting his liberty. "I don't know what I shall do now, I have no idea what my future course will be. I must go out and get a living somehow, l can't go back to the stage. My notoriety would prohibit that. The public would say I testified against my husband to make myself notorious. I will try to get work as a model. I can do it, too, 1 am sure. "Often I feel sorry I ever saw Harry Thaw," she plaintively re marked. Begin Business ns Separate Co. Aug. 1st. It is expected the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western Coal company will begin business as a separate com pany on August 1. Vice President E. E. Loomis will hold that office in both companies, as it is understood that under the law there is nothing to prevent him from holding both positions. The one thing the company cannot do under the Supreme court decision is to transport coal; it can mine coal, but being a public commodity cannot ship it. The new company is a buying and selling company. The railroad places the coal in the cars, the new com pany buys it and ships it over the road and then sells it, the railroad company getting 65 per cent, of the tluewater price. The only coal de partment official directly affected by the change is H. A. Smith, the coal sales agent, who pays the railroad for office rent In the new station at Scranton. Much Fireworks and Noise Little Wetness. Sunday last a big thunder storm, one which deluged the surrounding country visited this locality, and gave Honesdale the go-by, as usual with the exception of a few buckets ful. We were favored with the racket, and with but little else. It surely begins to appear that wo are being discriminated against. How ever we rejoice with those who re joice. Nothing really small about us, if we are drying up. Train Crews Cut Down . A notice has been issued by the Delaware and Hudson company that hereafter the middle brakeman on each train crew will be dispensed with. A number of the men form erly employed as "middle man" have been placed on the extra list. The change will throw quite a large number of men out of employment. AUTO AND CARRIAGE CRASH. Two Ladies Thrown Out Mrs. Dunklebcrg Injured. At 5:45 p. m. Thursday, Mrs. Elizabeth Dunkleberg and daugh ter, Mrs. Frank Stark, of Seelyvllle, were driving on Main street in this place, and, when near the northern approach to the State bridge, their carriage was struck by an automo bile, driven by Mr. Wyman Kimble who came down Park street. He turned to the right, but Mrs. Stark, who was driving, became Hurried, and also turned to the right. Mr. Kimble to avoid a collision then turned sharply to the left. So also did Mrs. Stark. Then the crash came, the auto striking a rear wheel of the carriage and overturn ing it. Mrs. Dunkelbcrg was thrown out upon her head and left shoul der and sustained a severe shock and bruises. Mrs. Stark escaped unin jured. The injured lady was taken to the drug store of William Pell, near the scene, where Dr. Powell attended her. She was soon after removed to her home, and, at last report was recovering from the shock and bruises. No blame is attached' to Mr. Kim ble for the accident.
