ceive the taxes until April 1. when the lists

tical ami would not permit of the de
linquents lists being prepared at all. He
is of the opinion that by receiving the
taxes until about Feb. 1, the office is doing
all that could be expected of it, and even
then the Innovation will seriously cripple
systematic work.

Agents of Brooklyn Traction Companies
Now in tho City.
Considerable comment was created
yesterday among motormen and other
employes of the Scranton Traction
company by the folluwlng advertise
ment which appeared In yesterday af
ternoon's Truth and wliich is practical
ly duplicated elsewhere In this Issue of
The Tribune:
WANTED MOTORMEN: EXPERI
enced motormen. Come with reference
to the Scranton House at 9 a. m. tomor
row. A Tribune reporter last nlgrlit suc
ceded In finding Uhe two men who In
serted the advertisements. They had
not dfsclosed their Identity ait the
Soranton 'house nor will tihey lo so until
this morning. They gave their names
as James Malxwioy, of Philadelphia,
and Charles K. Arlen, of Newark. Their
purpose Is to engage .men to hike the
places of strikers :ln Brooklyn.
Mr. Arlen stated that Mr. Mahoney
had been In Cai'bondala for several
days, but disclaimed any knowledge of
hw many tnen had been secured. He
would not say whether the Brooklyn
companies had sent agents to other
points where electric roads nre operat
ed, nor did he seem willing to dliacuss In
detail the present strike, lie was
courteous, though guarded In his con
vernation, and mitdc only one definite
statement during the conversation; he
said he would probably return to
Brooklyn lonltfht with the men Mr.
Mahoney might secure during the day.
He denied being a representative of a
detective agency, although his manner
and conversation Indicated otherwise.
Yesterday afternoon three "extra"
motormen In response to the adver
tisement called at 'the Scranton house,
but they were unsuccessful in finding
to whom they should apply. Several
employes and under officials of the
Traction company last night expressed
the opinion 'that the -mission of the
agents here would not be successful.

FEATURES OF THE KIRMESS
To Be Given for the Benefit of Lack-
nwannu Hospital.
DAXCES PRETTY AXD WEIRD
About Three Hundred and Fifty Perform
ers will Appear-Something About the
Costumes and Other Details Why
It Should Succeed.
Beginning Monday evening, Feb. 4,
and continuing through the week, In
cluding a matinee each day excepting
Monday, will be given the much-discussed
Klrmess for the benefit of the
Lackawanna Hospital. The words
"klrmess" and "carnival" are so broad
In their meaning, and the unique form
of the entertainment Is so interesting,
that The Tribune's readers will appre
ciate the accompanying Information
about the present Klrmess to be given
In the Frothlnghum theater.
At the beginning it should be under
stood that the coming production Is not
a society event In the sense hi which
the word "society" Is generally used.
Much to the contrary, the enterprise
has been launched under the patronage
of the city's most public-spirited men
and women of several creeds and
nationalities, and Just as general a rep
resentation Is included In the 'list of 1)50
young men and girls and masters and
misses who will dance for sweet chari
ty's sake. The classes are now being
drilled afternoon and evening by Miss
Sttiwurt, of Kingston, N. Y.
Its Noble Object.
- Success" seems assured and deserved,
not only because of the support of hun
dreds o-f persons who have relatives
and friends participating, but because
of the estimable use to which the pro
ceeds of the Klrmess will be devoted.
The Lackawanna Hospital needs help
It needs It greatly. It Is the only pub
lic Institution of its kind in a city of
100,000 inhabitants to succor thii
maimed and sick who cannot afford to
pay for treatment.
Much space could be used in telling
of the needs of the hospital and the
mission It performs, but the present
urgency may be explained in a single
statement: The Institution Is constant
ly crowded to the utmost limit pre
estilbed 'by law; it is frequently forced
to turn away applicants, and at times
patients are of necessity discharged
prematurely 1n order that room may
be made for urgent cases.
The magnitude of the cause ex
plained, the magnitude of the means
the Klrmess may be the more readily
comprehended.
Dunces That Will Be Given.
On each evening separate groups of
from fifteen to thirty-two girls and
young men will appear In the following
dances, ea.eh dance having special
chaperons: "German Harvest," "May
pole," "Military," "Tarantelle" (Itali
an), "Indlan,"' "Gypsy," "Spanish,"
"Highland," "Bretqn Pardon" (French).
The movements of body and feet, cos
tuming and figures collectively com
prise a study peculiar to the name and
slgnlficence of each dance, of which a
more detailed description Is made else
where. Dating the matinees will be given
only the dances in which the children
participate. These dances also have
their chaperons and consist of a "Jap
anese Court," "Carnival," "Hose und
Bee," "Hornpipe,",- and "Checker"
dance. The studied Idea'of pretty cos
tumes will be displayed In the chil
dren's dances as well as In the dances
of the oldei participants.
Description of Dances.
The dances are' described in detail as
follows:
German Harvest Twenty-four young
people, all Germans, will apear In true
peasant costumes, and the dance will
be a clever and Instructive picture of
the primitives of the Fatherland. The
cinantronsare Mrs. F. W. Gunster, sirs,
M. Louise Zlzeltnann and Mrs. Charles
Tropp.
Maypole Sixteen girls of about 16
years of age each and gowned In white
have needed but little drilling in bring
Ing out the romping, light hearted and
glrliiih skips peculiar to the dance. The
n-ame of the dance and the age of the
girls signify the beauty of a living pic
ture of sixteen maidens in the full flush
of their glulhood. It Is a sweet thought,
and It is sweetly brought out in the
dance which Is chaperoned by Mrs. A
II. Christy and Miss Merrill.
Military This is one ot the most
alriklng and popular dawes on the list
and will 'be presented under the ehaper-
oroage of Mrs. D. W. Connolly and Mrs.
P. H. Coyne. The twenty-four duncers
will Include twelve girls costumed In
olose fitting and trim suits, a la eavl
Uerla, and as imany young, men In
seml-soldlor attire including top boots
and other military hnbllments. The
movements are fltati-ly and imposing
and the dance Is bound to ecore a hit.

tral city will in this dance Illustrate
the grace and beauty of the measures
of the .sunny clime of which the dance
Is nallve. The costumes will be strict

ew.td by Mrs. H. M. Boles, Mrs. E, L,
Fuller and Mrs. James Hosle. .

Indian For those who admire the
strikingly" realistic this dance will offer
ample opportunity for commendation,
lis thli'ty-two members are mostly from
St. Luke's church and In rehearsal they
have dt'inonstraltnJ that the dance will
be most reallntlc. The young men will
be painted and garmented in Indian
fashion, while the girls us squaws, with
feet moccasslncd -and hair and throat
bedecked with foeads, will present a
pretty picture of tihe early inhabitants.
Mrs. H. J. Anderson, Mrs. Worthing
fon and Miss Hardenberg are the chap
erons. Uypsy That the West Side Is noted
for Its pretty girls Is a quite generally
accepted, fuct, but the truth Is demon
stratcd In the membership of the Gypsy
dance, which Is weird and spirited. Its
eight couples are chaperoned by Mrs.
H. M. Streeterand Mrs. Sc-hrelfer.
Spanish Is a dance which offers
simple opportunity for the grace of Its
performers and richness and color In
costuming. Its twenty-four dancers
from tthe central city are chaperoned
by Mrs. James Archuald, Mrs. Henry
Helln, Jr., and Mrs. H, J. Anderson.
Highland Arrangements for this
dance are pending and it will be given
under the auBplces of the Caledonian
dub. It will be chaperoned toy Mrs.
Thomas Dickson, whose Interest In
everything Scotch Is well known.
Ilreton Pardon (French) Thl dance
carries out ithe Idea of a custom In
northern France and Brittany, where
once a year after receiving absolution
from the priests the young people ex
press thelr Joy and light heartedness
by Indulging In a romping dance. The
style Is rollicking and u neon fined and is
conducted with & vim and dash ao
peculiar to the French. It Include a

The Matinee f eatures.
Japanese Court Twenty little tots
from 3 to 6 years old and with faces
and gowns fashioned after the style of
the far east will present this dance.
The tender years of the performers
sufficiently betokens the interest which
will be attached to the dance. It con
tains one especially amusing feature
which Is withheld from the public. Mrs.
E. B. Jermyn, Mrs. A. H. Storrs and
Mrs. Fred Kingsbury are the chap
erons. x

Roses and Bees A moving and Illus
trative picture of little living rose girls

imagined better than described. The

stead and Mrs. Frank Spencer.

Practical Life.
PULSE OP A NOBLE WORK
Building Teeming with Scores of Young
Men Bent oil Strengthening Their
Minds and Bodies-Results of
One Night's Observation.
To the Scranton man or woman who
delights In an evening's jaunt for the
purpose of observation, of seeing things
new and being entertained. The Trib
une can offer no more valuable a
suggestion, than "take a peep at the
Young Men's Christian association."
This does not imply a peep at its prin
ciples or ethics, but It means to see
arid feel the actual, dally throbbing
pulse of one of the most practical and
far-reaching Institutions of Its kind ex
tant Every night in the year, particu
larly In the winter season, the Young
Men's Christian association building
affords an Interesting object lesson of
practical teachings to the beholder.
Early In the evening, the young men
who have been bending over books und
accounts, selling goods or teaching
school, begin coming Into the building
Intent on physical recreation and exer
cises, literary research or social amuse
ment. Usually the olllce or business
suit is put ofl'and the light, cool gym
nasium suit tukes its place. At 5 o'clock
on one evening of this, week n spec-tutor
from the gallery of the gymnasium
would have seen twenty-one business
und professional men, and at S o'clock
between forty und fifty young men
lined up for a class drill conducted by
the physical director a, drill which one
mun suld "stretched every muscle In
his body except the ones back of his
ear," a drill which discovers a man's
"weak spot,' and sends him afterward
to that special apparatus which will
best increase its strength.
It Cures Insomnia.
This exercise is finished off with a
graded shower bath and a brisk rub,
with the result that weariness and de
pression are throwi to the winds, and
the man whose brain was tired at G
o'clock finds himself ns fresh at 9
o'clock as though the day's work was
ahead of him instead of just behind.
It la safe to say that of these men there
are few who find themselves troubled
with insomnia.
Coming up to the ne.ft floor and
counting the men who are engaged In
the reading room we find -at one time
thirty-seven men posting themselves on
current events In the midst of an un
surpassed supply of daily, weekly and
monthly newspapers and magazines
and reviews, covering all subjects
scientific, religious, flotltious and news.
Conversing In the reception hall and
parlors eighteen others are to be seen.
One group Is discussing photography
and another talking over the events of
the day. In the olllce the secretaries
are busy attending -to the various wants
of the members whether they come
from the gymnasium below or the
school rooms above; and the general
secretary Is engaged In his private of
fice with a young man who wanted a
private conversation.
Its Kdiicatlonul Classes.
On the third floor classes were In
progress in penmanship with thirty
seven present, in bookkeeping with
about the same number, In English
branches with thirty-one present, In
geometry nine present, in the mechani
cal drawing elementary claps saven
present, while in the oath rooms and
game rooms were twenty-two driers.
In short, 192 young men were In the
building at the same time, the major
ity of whom came to spend the entire
evening. As men were coming and go
ing all the time It Is safe to say that at
least llfjty others came In during tho
evening, after the above count was
mude, bringing the -attendance for a
single evening up to 212.
These young men represented every
flection of the city and all classes and
occupations. The rich man's son was
there, the poor man's son with equal
privilege and standing, and the clerk,
the meehunle and the breaker boy.
Some -wera there for recreation and
some for hard work. All were recreat
ing in the -truest meaning of the word.

LETTER FROM CHAMBERLIN.
Suggests That Stockholders Make a Prop
osition to the Company.
J. I). Stoeker, of Jermyn, has received
the following letter from F. J. Cham
berlln with regard to the affairs of the
Pueblo Consolidated Land company,
whose stock, to the amount of $47,000, Is
held by persons residing lh this part
of Pennsylvania:
Mr. J. T. Stoeker, Jermyn, Pa.:
Dear Sir In reference to the property
In Uplands Park held by the Pueblo Con
solidated Lund company, I beg to state
that the agent of the Colorado Coal and
Development company In Pueblo notifies
us that they are now prepared to make
concessions to holders of property against
which they hold trust deeds and he Invites
propositions.
1 know of one case where they gave a
concession of 00 per cent, on the total
amount of notes, Interest and taxes past
due upon all cBsh payment. Now I think
you will conceive thut the property In Up
lands Purk held by the Pueblo Consoli
dated Lund compuny is und will be valu
able property. Can you not, therefore, get
your stockholders to make a proposition
to the company either to pay all cash and
cuucel tho trust deeds or to pay part cash
and have the trust deeds reduced by a
liberal amount.
I understand from Mr. Ladd that the
matter has been left largely to his dis
cretion. He declines to make any propo
sition to the compuny, but Invites propo
sitions from them. Will you kindly pre
sent this mutter to the Pueblo Consoli
dated stockholders In your Vicinity.
Yours truly,
F, J. Chamberlln.
Mr. Stoeker would like to hear from
tihe local stockholders ot the company
on this matter.

" WE'RE RIGHT IN IKE NS,"
When the advertising atmosphere is so

Dull trade throughout the legitimate
