FIKE DEPARTMENT INCREASE
Amounts Necessary to Give the City a
Paid Service-Appropriation Asked
to Fit I'p the Public l'urk.
Figures in Del nil.
For several weeks past the heads of
the different departments of the city
government have been engaged prepar
ing their estimates for the fiscal year,
which begins April 1. These estimates
will be placed in the hands of the esti
mates committees of councils, who will
pass upon them and then recommend
to council whether or not they should
be allowed,
With the exception of the tire depart
ment the Increase asked for by the vari
ous departments are very modest.
Chief Simpson asks $1,000 less for his
police department than was granted
last year. Heads of all departments
were udvlsed to keep their estimates as
low as possible that the city might have
money to meet Judgments amounting
to $40,000 or $:0,000 that have been filed
against It. Those represent damages
allowed for Injury to properties by
grading and opening street, laylrjfe
sewers, etc, The Increase In the amount
asked for the fire department will be
necessary to give the city a paid force
of firemen.

of mayor's private secretary, $1,000;

$150; printing and postage, $40; tele

The city treasurer was allowed $5,950
this year, and next year he wants
$0,750 to enable him to buy a much
needed safe and employ an additional
clerk. The addition of Bellevue to the
city with the natural Increase of busi
ness In the city treasurer's office from
year to year makes an additional clerk
a necessity. Mr. Brook's estimate In

clerk, $600; incidentals, $250; printing,

CORNELL CUB'S CONCERT.
Interesting Musical Event at the Froth-Inghain-Collcgiuns
Tendered o Recep
tion at the Hotel Terrace.
The popularity of Cornell In this city
and tho fame of Its Glee, Banjo and
Mandolin clubs was attested last even
ing by the large and very fashionable
audience which attended, the concert
at the Frothlngham.
The entertainment was even better
than the one given here last year by
the same organization, the Instrument
al numbers being especially so, and the
wise selections being newer and more
catchy. However, It was in an old fa
vorite, the Tinkers song from "Robin
Hood," that the Glee club, with man
dolin accompaniment, was heard to the
best advantage. No chorus of the Bos
tonlans themselves could render It
more effectively. The medlles were re
ceived with much applause and laugh
ter, and they well deserved their warm
reception, for they were well arranged
and very well sung. One of the most
pleasant numbers was the solo by Mr.
Clifton, to which he was compelled to
add another.
Both the Banjo and Mandolin clubs
evidenced careful training and showed
excellent taste In the selection of its
pieces. The programme, all In all, was
nicely balanced In every respect. There
was a large audience present composed
of the most fashionable people of the
city.
Reception at Hotel Terrace.
After the concert a reception was
tendered to the members of the clubs
at the Hotel Terrace. The magnificent
banquet hall, with its exquisitely
polished floor, its Romanesque pillars
and beautiful blending of colors made
an Ideal ball-room and was thronged
with prettily dressed ladles and their
escorts, who Joined in nn excellent pro
gramme of dancing until an early hour
this morning. At 11 o'clock the guests,
who entered the rooms through the
colonial hall, were received In the re
ception t.arlors by Mis. Walter PleU
son, Mrs. Sanderson, Mrs. A. M. Decker,
Mrs. George M. Hallstead, Mrs. E. L.
Fuller and Miss Anna Sanderson.
After greetings were exchanged and
friends had renewed acquaintances tha
large concourse of guestB proceeded to
the ball-room, where Bauer's orchestru
discoursed excellent music. During
the evening a collation was served in
the private dining rooms. Besides the

NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTIilflS
Streets Crowded Until a Late Hour
with Shoppers.
SXOW ARRIVED JUST IX TIME
There's Not Jluch of It but It Robs I'sof
A Green Christmas-Balls at Tur
Mt Hall and Music
Hull.
Scranton holiday shoppers thronged
the streets of the city to a late hour
last night and the bustle and hum of
trade gave the avenues an appearance
of liveliness that has not been sur
passed at any Christmastlde in years.
About supper time the long-looked-for
snow gently began to descend, but
the tlanes were so slight that fears were
many and hopes slight that the white
mantle would overspread the earth and
give to the occasion a holiday appear
ance. A green Christmas Is as rare as
a day In June and it Is not a desirable
reality. ' But the weather bureau was
kind and as the minutes sped by the
air grew thicker,' and about 8 o'clock
heavy snowflakes fell and in short time
covered the streets and sidewalks.
Customers were busy hurrying to and
fro, stopping at this window and that,
gazing at the attractive displays. Every
street car unloaded as many passengers
as the capacity of the vehicle could
stand, and the outgoing cars were so
crowded that many could not gain ad
mittance. The streets were lined with people
and travel was slow. Woman laden
with, bundles picked their way along
the slippery pavements, and occasion
ally a luckless purchaser would lose
his feet and go down In a heap beneath
a multitude of bundles.
Santa Claus was king and young and
old alike paid homage to his shrine.
The revelers were out, too, and enjoyed
themselves without breaking through
the lines of propriety.
Shoppers Were Numerous.
Lackawanna avenue was the busiest
thoroughfare. From one end to the
other it was ablaze with decorations
and from out the shop windows the
lights shone resplendent. Every store
was well patronized and every store
had something good to offer. It would
seen:, from the hurrying tide of hu
manity, that the population of all the
surrounding towns and villages had
poured Into the clly, and looking at the
bundles of merchandise borne with the
throngs through the streets, the bon
der would grow as to how the stores
could contain such a stock or how any
thing was left for other buyers.
The scene on the streets at 9 o'clpek
was the busiest and the happiest. Hap
piness seemed to be depicted on every
countenanceasallseemed to be bent for
home with the load of the day's pur
chase, thinking of the expectant ones
at home waiting anxiously for the gifts
of Christmas. Without the white man
tle of snow Christmas would not have
Its accustomed suggestiveness and
Santa Claus would be at a loss to en
joy his sleigh ride. The Tribune wishes
to all Its readers this morning a merry
Christmas.
Halls Held l ost Night.
Every one was not shopping last
night, however. Many were bent on
enjoyment and not a few of them found
their way to Turner's hall, where the
ninth annual ball of Lackawanna
lodge, No. 95, Brotherhood of Railroad
trainmen was being held. The grand
march begnn at 9 o'clock to the strains
of the orchestra and was kept up mer
rily until an early hour this morning.
The hall was prettily decorated with
trainmen's hand lamps of various col
ors. Bunting and Hags were in abund
ance. Charles Kingsley was master of
ceremonies and the following made the
elaborate arrangements for the even
ing: Charles Lasher-, Joseph O'Brien,
L. D. Iiaiitrrer, John Scott, George
Decker and V. L. Stull.
At Music Hall the Electrical Work
ers' Local union, No. 51, held Its annual
ball. The room was decorated l.i u
most elaborate manner with bunting
and electric lights Ingeniously ar
ranged. The capacity of the hall was
taxed to Its utmost capacity during the
night by the merry dancers. The dec
orating of the hnll was done by II. B.
Stock, James Murphy, William Farr,
Patrick Campbell, James Harding, Rob
ert Robinson, John Reilly nod Harry
Mannick.
