TEN CARRIERS SUSPENDED
Charged with Drinking and Luiteritxj
While on Duty.
SHADOWED BY DETECTIVES
Suspicion That Carriers Had Falsified
Their "Over Time" Kcttirns Wns
Not Proven-Postmaster Vnndling
Intercedes for 1 ho of Them.
Over the ordered suspension of ten
mall carriers, Postmaster Vamlllng Is
now engaged In a mild controversy
with the postotllce department. The
ordtr,for suspension was based upon a
report ot secret service detectives.
Four of the carriers are chnrged with
drinking while on duty, five with drink
ing whllo In uniform but not on duty,
and one with loitering. The main rea
son for the sending of secret service
men to Scranton was the numerous
"over time" Items filed by the car
riers. It was susplcloned that they
had falsified.
lieglnnlng with last July, when tho
8-hour law wont Into effect, numerous
charges for "over time" began to be
Hied by the carriers. Postmaster Vand
llng was asked by the department If he
was certain that the Items were correct.
He answered afilrmatively and ex
plained that the territory was so large
compared with the carrier force that
It was extremely difficult to make
usual deliveries and collections within
the prescribed time.
Ovortimo Clinrgcs Continued.
Later it was found necessary to re
duce the deliveries and collections to
once a day In certain sections of the
city.
Charges for "over time," however,
continued to be filed, and when Post
master Vandllng was In Washington
last January he was told that secret
service detectives would be sent here
at an unknown time to Investigate the
matter.
While Mr. Vandllng knew that the de
tectives might be here at any time, his
first intimation that they had been here
was when ho received the order for
suspension.
The four men charged with drinking
while on duty are ordered suspended
for thirty days, the five charged with
drinking while In uniform are ordered
suspended for ten days and a 15-day
suspension Is ordered for the carrier
charged with loitering.
Mr. Vandllng says the official depart
ment regulations do not contain a rule
prohibiting drinking while in uniform
if the carrier la not on duty, and that
tho men so charged claim they drank
only one glass of beer on each occa
sion. Wns Waiting for a Car.
The carrier charged with loitering
has proved that on tbe occasion speci
fied he was waiting for a Green Ridge
car. These facts have been communi
cated to Washington and a withdrawal
asked of the suspensions ordered In the
last six oases. A reply Is expected to
morrow. The ordered suspensions on the first
charge will be put In force at once.
Three substitutes will take the places In
sequence of as many suspended carriers
until all the suspensions have been, en
forced. The suspended carriers will not
be paid during their enforced Idleness.
CAN BE BRIDES AGAIN.
Divorces Granted to lillzabcth Griffiths
and JoshIo Lowry.
Divorces were granted by the court
to two married couples whose conjugal
relations do not appear to have been
happy. Mrs. Elizabeth Griffiths wns
separated from John L. Griffiths, to
whom she was married on Nov; 14.
1874. They lived together twenty years
and spent a good part of the time
quarreling. She asserts that by reason
of his brutality and excessslve cruelty
she was forced to leave htm on May 7,
1894.
Miss Jessie Malnwarlng was on April
5, last year, wedded to Fred Lowry, in
the office of Alderman E. M. Lowry, at
Carbondalo. They were only a month
married, she deposes, when he began
to abuse her and thrash her with his
fists for no reason but a morbid one of
Jealousy, for which, she said, he had
not the slightest reason.
Both spouses are free to make a bet
ter selection in choosing a companion
for life the next time they venture on
the billows. of matrimony.

MR. STTRGES IN INDIA.
llcforo Another Largo Audience Ho Tells
of an Interesting Part of His Journey
Around tho World-Land of Temple's
.Mysterious People. '
E. B. Sturges last night In the Green
Kidge Presbyterian church delivered
the third and last but one of his series
of stereoptlcon lectures, covering the
Asiatic portion of his trip around the
world. Jvast night's subject was In
dia, or, as Mr. Sturges termed it, "The
Monkey Land," because the country
teems with these animals, which, In
India, are held Bacred as are many
other living things.
That Mr. Sturges is an interesting
and popular spenker was shown by the
large audience which completely filled
the lecture room of the church. Many
of his hearers were from the central
city. In his previous lectures he had
told and shown views of Japan, China
and Ceylon and the lectures became
more interesting as the Journey pro
gressed. India with Its mysterious people and
magnificent temples, its squalor and
splendor, Its enervating lowlands and
delightful highlands of which Kipling
has revealed so much these and a
hundred other Instructive things did
Mr. Sturges tell about.
He began with Madras on the lower
Eastern coast, from whence the trip
to Calcutta, northeastward, was made
by steamer owing to the prevalence of
cholera along the eastern coast re
gion. From Calcutta the scene changed
many hundreds of miles to the Hima
layas almost north, then back to the
Ganges river and up It to the northern
Interior and over tho .Bombay on the
western coast. It was a Journey of
3,400 miles In a country containing
300,000,000 inhabitants, five or six times
as many as are in the United States.
Of the many views displayed, all, ex
cepting two or three purchased In New
York, were reproduced from kodaks
taken by Mr. Sturges. The collection
la very valuable.
An especially Instructive feature of
the lecture were the detailed views and
descriptions of magnlflcnt white and
black marble and sandstone temples
and tombs, Hindoo and Mo-hammadnn,
which are as numerous In India as tow
ering office buildings In the United
States. The difference in point of
architectural beauty Is, however, as
great as lies between the meaning of
sublime and ridiculous. These magnifi
cent structures of the East tndivldualy
represent scores of years of labor and
the most extreme result of artistic
splendor. Many of them are contained
In cities which are absolutely deserted
except by official keepers, and now are
only beautiful tombstones of a bygone
munificence.
Next Tuesday night will be delivered
the final lecture, "Egypt and Pales
tine," during which will be displayed
the best views in Mr. Sturges' collec
tion. CRAVES OF VETERANS.
Making Arrangements to Dedicate Them
on Memorial Day.
Memorial Day, (the delight of tho old
soldier's heart, Is a month distant, but
the veterans have their committees of
arrangements at work planning 11 the
details of the programme of celebration.
Every year the officers of Ezra Griffin
post, No. 139, Grand Army of the Re
public, extend an Invitation to those of
Colonel Monies post, No. 319, to Join In
a parade In the afternoon, and this year
has not been any exception.
Nothing very definite has been
mapped out yet In relation to tho ob
servance of Memorial Day, but Rev. W.
A. Spencer, D. D., of Philadelphia, has
consented to be the orator of the occa
sion. Ills aubjeot will be "The Great
Battles of History." The committee of
arrangements meets every Wednesday
evening at Memorial hall on Washing
ton avenue. Fred J. Amsden Is chair
man and E. W. Pierce secretary.
A uniform manner of observing the
day that has for years been the custom
of the veterans Is to assemble at the
post rooms In the morning and from
there tho commander details squads to
go to the different cemeteries of the
city and of Dunmore to decorate the
graves of departed comrades. The
cemeteries that are visited are: Forest
Hill, Hyde Park Catholic, Washburn
street, North Washington avenue,
Plttston avenue, German, No. 6 ceme
tery, and the Protestant and Catholic
cemeteries of Dunmore.
The parade through the principal
Btreets of the city will take place In the
afternoon, and the evening entertain
ment will also be 'held. It has not been
decided where the entertainment will
be held. iRev. Mr. Spencer, of Philadel
phia, will deliver his address in the
evening.
Chimes of Normandy.
At Davis' theater yesterday after
noon and evening "The Chimes of Nor
mandy" was eung by the Robinson
Opera company. Laura Russell as
Serpolette, Lizzie Gonzales as Qer
malne, Frank French as the Marquis,
Harry Nelnon as Jean Grenlcheaux,
and Frand Desbon as Gaspard proved
themselves very competent artists, and
with the assistance of the other mem
bers of the company gave the opera
a very pleasing presentation. This
afternoon and evening "Olivette" will
be sung. '

THE CONDITIONS OP THE GIFT
Money to Do Used Entirely for the Pur.
pout of Supporting Manual Train,
tag Department and Cannot Be Ex
pended for Fitting I'p Buildings.
No arrangements have yet been made
by the directors of the Young Men'B
Christian association as to the disposal
of the sum of 25,000 promised, and
partlnlly paid by Mrs. Francis A. Hack-
ley, of New York city, for the purpose
of muuual training under the ausplcles
of the association.
A condition Is attached to the gift
that no part of the sum, or any portion
of the Interest accruing therefrom,
shall bo utilized for the purpose of
making alterations In the building, sup
plying any furniture or equipments.
In brief, the money must be Invested
and the interest devoted to the sole
purpose of current expenses, the major
portion of which will be the salaries of
Instructors.
As soon hh the money Is received It
will bo Invested In the best nnd safest
manner possible, and It Is anticipated
that tho sum of $1,500 per annum will
be realized as Interest; but this will not
bo sulllclent to discharge the annual
expenditure, which It Is expected will
be quite $3,000, when the entire system
of manual training Is organized.
Equipment Expenses to Ho liaised.
In order to prepare for the Work con-
Bldernblo expense will be entailed, tho
whole of which Will have to be paid by
voluntary subscriptions. The spacious
room on tho top floor must be adapted
for the purpose, nnd tho necessary
equipments be provided for tho pupils,
before any benefits can be derived from
the generous donation of Mrs. Hackley.
The board of directors will, however,
proceed with the matter In earnest Im
mediately, with the view of inaugu
rating the classes In September or Octo
ber. It is anticipated that the first
course to be adopted will be to prepare
for classes In bench work in wood, and
lathe work In wood. A large plant will
be necessary for this work alone, and
as It Is well known that this special
Instruction will be sought by a large
number of young people, the prepara
tions will Involve considerable work,
and some time will be necessary for the
organisation of this department. It 1b
expected that sign and fresco painting
will be taught, a specialty which many
youmj men will be pleased to have an
opportunity to learn, which Is not at
present afforded them in the city.

R0BS0N WELL RECEIVED.
His Clever Performance of Bronson
Howard's Comedy, Tho Henrietta.
Other Attractions.
A fashionable audience filled the
Frothingham theater last evening to
witness the first production in this
city, by Stuart Robson, of Bronson
Howard's comedy, 'The Henrietta."
The scene of the comedy Is laid In .the
New York home of Nicholas Vannl
styne, a multi-millionaire magnate of
Wall street, nnd In the office of the
multl-mllllonalre'a broker. Vanalstyne
has two sons, Nicholas, flls, a selfish
and unprincipled fellow speculator,
who, while enjoying his father's fullest
confidence, plots to ruin him; and Ber
tie, the lamb, a good-hearted, soft
brained chappie, of cigarette-smoking,
club-going proclivities, who, In a criti
cal moment, acts the man, and quite
unconsciously saves his father from ut
ter financial collapse. A hypocritical
parson, somewhat broadly sketched;
a clever widow and two or three young
women of marriageable oge complete
the dramatis personae.
The play hinges almost entirely upon
the apparent Idiocy of fiertle. In Its
bearing upon the fortunes of the stock
of the Henrietta Mining and Railroad
company, and Mr. Robson, In this role,
Is at his best. The expression of vacu
ity which he mnnages nt tlmps to as
sume is nothing short of a triumph of
genius. Perhaps for the reason that
the demand upon his own talent Is
heavy, he has this year surrounded
himself with a company of associate
players who, In the main, ore only tol
erable by reason of the contrast they
afford. In comparison with the sup
porting players in the original produc
tion of this well-constructed play, the
present subordinates are notably defi
cient. It Is announced that Daniel L. Hart,
of Wllkes-Barre, has been asked by Mi.
Robson to write a new psf tor pro
duction by him next season. This re
sult was brought about through an ac
cidental visit, at Columbus, O., of Mr.
Robson's manager, William R. Hayden,
to Daniel Sully's Inefficient recent pro
duction of Mr. Hart's "O'Neill, Wash
ington." Mr. Hart will travel this
week with the Robson company as Mr.
Robson's guest, and during this Journey
the details of the ney play will be dis
cussed by them.

retary, read, or rather gave rise to a
talk on summer schools, and I want
to tell you that Miss Dunn did not loso
anything in comparison with the many
bright women who took part during the
convention. Miss Dunn Is very enthu
siastic over these schools, and Is of
opinion that every association ought to
send at least one girl.
The report of Mrs. Farwell, of the
International committee, was read by
the treasurer of the committee, Mrs.
Messer, of Chicago. It Bhowed that
since the biennial report a World's

rilzslinmons.
Before Alderman Fltzslmmons yester
day Mrs. McClough and her daughter,
of the West Side, appeared and repre
sented that James Hunter, Mrs. Mc-
Clough's son-in-law, had threatened to
do dire damage In the MoClough house
hold. A warrant was Issued for his ar
rest and a hearing took place at 5
o'clock. The alderman discharged him
after hearing both sides of the story.
It seems that iMrs. Hunter had heard
that her folks wore not by their con
versation contributing In a large de
gree to furnishing a good reputation for
her among the neighbors, and she went
to demand an explanation for their at
tack upon her character. Her sister
met her at the door and saluted her
with a volley of flower pots. One of
the missiles took effect and left a large
gash In Mrs. Hunter's brow. She re
turned bruised and bleeding home, and
when her husband learned of what hap
pened he pulled oft his coat and went
over to avenge the Insult and Injury to
his wife. He admitted before the alder
man that If he laid his hands on his
muscular sister-in-law that he would
have been severe.
The alderman said he would not
blame him and told him to go home and
avoid his wife's folks In future.

Few of the reasons why we
are able to sell goods so much
below the usual prices as we
are doing :
1st. We sell for cash.
2(1. We sell all our goods in the
store, not by the expensive way
of taking orders from house to
house.
3d. Handling so many goods we can
do it at a much smaller percent
age than where only hall the
quantity is sold.
4th. -We buy from the manufacturer
or importer, not from the jobber,
thereby saying one profit.
5t!l. We have no rent to pay for
house, barn or store, conse
quently can afford to work cheap.
Cih. Doing quite a large wholesale
as well as retail business we
can do it at lower rates than a
bouse doin'4 cither branch ex
clusively. 7th.And principally because we are
naturally inclined to make very
low rates, depending on the judg
ment of the purchasing public
to appreciate good goods and low
prices to move the goods quickly.
