Ask your druggist for Swayne's Ointment - SCHEME IS CARRIED OUT Water Companies of Wyoming Valley Under One Management SCKANT0X MEX INTERESTED Every Town on Both Sides of the River . from Scranton to Naatieoke Will ' Be Supplied with Water by Una Company. Concerning the scheme that sMetaen engineered mainly by Scran tow tallsts for supplying Wllkes-Barre aid adjacent towns with water, roof tloifkf which has heretofore been made in The Tribune, the Wllkes-Barre fteopraid yesterday: 'O The gigantic deal, by which iL.H ex pected that the business of supplying water to tSie peoHe of this valley and run of Lackawunna Valley -will be. Vivo utlonlzed, has about been consummated, and the sehrme Is greater and more mm prt henslve than has even yet been suit posed. The syndicate. It has now 'been learned, is composed of J. R. Maxwell, president of the Central Railroad of Xw Jersey; coal operators Simpson & Watklns, ex Lieutenant Governor Louis A. Witfre and Hon. Lemuel Amerman, all of Hcrnn ton but Mr. Maxwell. The syndicate has been negotiating for several months with the various water companies between Scrairton and Nantlcoke, with the pur pose of securing control of their frau ohlutj. There are in all about tWcmy chartered, tacal companlxa kii thlVilrf '' tory supplying tH vaHdus" totiK"On Sfturcluy.il was aopdunued, that every one of thrmtwlth Hie exception: HtfUlte Citizens' uud the Coasumers' of this oily, had passed flit, the )oee31od otrlae syndicate. VIRTUALLY IN CONTROL. ,v This virtually places the control of the water supply In the hands of the new cor poration, ami every city, town and vil lage between Scranton and Nuntlcoka Will In the course of a yeur, receive their water from this source. The Intentions of the new company were outlined yesterday by Hon. II. ",V. Palmer In conversation with it Record re porter. At the same time he confirmed the news of the completion of the neautife tlons with the several companies la this territory. The syndicate, he uld. ha'i purchased the rights of all the companies on both sides of the Susquehanna betweea Scrawton and Nantlcoke. They IncluSe, among others, th Wilkes-Barre Water company and the Crystal Spring Water company of this city, and I lie SprUi.t; Brook Water company, which supplies the towns on the west side of the river from Moosic to Nantlcoke, Plttston, Avoca, Lackawanna, etc., on the east side. Mr. Palmer did not say what price was paid to the oihur companies, but admitted that the Wllkes-Barre Water compnnjTs s tork holders had received SS5 per share for their stock, the par value being lull. He wus not positive us to the figure re ceived by the Crystal Spring company, blit understood that the stock was boon lu t Its par vulue. It will tuke IMOO.ouo to buy -the Wilkes-Ham- Water company, capital stock und bonded Indebtedness; about 11.000.000 to buy the Crystal Spring, and about fl.SuO.000 to buy the Spring Brook. FIVE MILLIONS OF CAPITAL. In reply to a question, Mr. Palmer said: "The capital Ktoek of the new company Is tt.ouo.uuo, and It has all the money It needs to begin work as soon as spring opens.. From that time on the oprrt tio:H will be pushed forward as speedily as possible, so that within the year lit least we shall have what everybody has been clamoring for. an abundant supply of good water the whole year round. It is the intention to divide the supply Into two parts. Wuter from the mountain springs in the vicinity of Spring lirook will be used for domestic purposes only, while the supply from the Huntsvlile da to snd the Cryrtal Spring company will lie used only for the collieries and for manu facturing purposes. In this way It will be easy to give the people first rate water for drinking and domestic use the whole year round, and at the same time supply the collieries and factories with all they may want. "In order to Insure the purity of the Spring lirook water, the company has purchused llfty-one square miles of for est land. Including all the streams and watersheds. This territory will not he opened for settlement under any consid eration, mid nothing will be allowed upon the land which might In any way contsinl nate the supply, 'fitiis wuter will be piped direct to Wilkes-HaiTP by a nmln line extending from the sIoiuk reservoirs in the mountains and communicating wlih the mains In the city. The reservoirs will be of the Intest Improved put tern, and will keep the water clear anil pure no matter how low It may become." THEIR RIGHTS NOT WANTED. "Have you made any overtures to the new companies Citizens and Consum erslately organized In this clty7" "No. for the simple rrusou that they have nothing to sell chut we wanted to buy. As la i- us the Campbell's ledge pro ject Is ciincorned, 1 do not think the peo ple would care to drink river water when they cam get mountain water as easily and as cheap. They may say what they will, you cannot make unythiiig out of the Sus quehatiim but a big sewer that receives ull the wuhte und tilth nnd offal from every town und village along Its bunks. People don't like to drink this wuter, no matter how It may be purified by nitra tion. They would rather drink water that didn't have to be purilled, but came dire -t from the mountain fastnesses as pure ns when it bubbled from the nprini;. f all the projects for supply! it ir this valley with witter, the one Just consummated Is to my mind the most feasible. The gen tlemen directly concerned have the m -uns und will push it forwuid to a successful conclusion, und solve for niitiiy years tu come the qui-stlun which has been perplex ing the ptuplc for a decade. "As fur the companies that have ills posed if their stock. I think they will nave no reuson to re-let their action. Tliey received a kooiI price In every in stance, and will he free from the liothiT, the worry nnd the criticism which has been their lot ever since the water sup ply began to fuil. With the purchase money received they cun make other in vestments which will net them quite r.s much us the wuler stock without the at tendant trouble." FINANCIAL PART OK SCHEME. From another source It was learned that the new company proposed t t issue $.Vi. turn north of ." 2er cent, bonds, pur vulue timi. to be sold ut 90, taxes, paid. This is said will guarantee 0 per cent, on the investment uud insure u ready sale for the bonds. It Is said that of 'this sum $4.im0.iio will be used to buy up nil the old companies, jcno.nmi for necessnry improve, men IP. leaving a balance of toon.ono in the sinking fund. Thus, with all debts paid, and half a million dollars on hand, the syndicate will be In first class shape finan cially. That Its earning capacity will constantly Increase rocs without saying, for It has the entire Wyoming Valley under Its con trol. Every year will see a material In crease not only. In population, but In In dustries of all kinds. These must have water, anil the syndicate is the only con cern that can III! the want. Another Important feature of this lat est enterprise will be a readjitst ment of the water rates on a more equitable bails. The expenses of the new company will amount to about SiOO.OOn a year, including tSOO.uuO interest on bonds and $ loo. (ml for operating expenses and Improvements. As bonds are redeemable this expense will be lessened and In a few years the officials hope to make t per cent, on their Invest nient. . , KEYSTONE. A new Latin class will be started this week In Nepos. The senior class also take up the Odyssey. Dr. Lewis Stevens, who was to give an address before the students last Friday afternoon, was unexpectedly railed to Benton. However, he preached In the Baptist church Sunday morn ing and many had the pleasure of hear ing him.

Two prises will be offered this year, and a first-class con test Is to be expected. They have been training faithfully for the last three weeks under the supervision of Miss As ken. An elective course has been estab lished now in which any one pursuing a regular course may take studies out side of the prescribed curriculum neces sary for entrance into any college In the United States. In this is Included Ovid, Horace and Nepos In Latin, solid geometry. In mathematics, and such others as may be deemed necessary. This extra course will enable students preparing for college to enter uncon ditioned any college In the United States. It Is purely elective and none of the studies can be substituted for those of the regular courses. The minstrel show, which had been preparing for sometime under the au spices of the Athletic association, was given Jast Friday night to a large au dience. The performance went .off smoothly and everyone seemed toi.be well, pleased. The special feat urea to be noted were the slight-of-hand tricks by Mr. Whlttemore, of Scranton, the stump speech by "Bones," and the farce entitled "No Pay, No Cure." A nice sum was realized by the Athletic as sociation. PERSEVERANCE THE PRICE. pjdcrewsM Praetleed One Dlffloult Passage Over 1,200 Uonra. It has been calculated that In the performance of some rapid and elab orate passages of pianoforte music there may be. In the space of one min ute, many thousand separate move ments of the arms, wrists, hands and fingers. An attempt has been made to figure out the pressure represented by such force expenditure. It has been said that "It requires more force tu sound a note gently on the piano than It does to lift the lid of a kettle." This can be easily verllled by taking a small handful of coins and piling them on a key of the piano. When a sufficient quantity Is piled on to make a note sound, the coins may be weighed, and tne figure will be found to be true. If the pianist Is playing with great strength, a much greater force Is ex pended. At times a force of six pounds Is launched upon a single key to pro duce a single effect. In the playing of c nor as tne torce is generally spread over the various notes sounded slmul taneously, though a greater output of force is undoubtedly expended. It is tins incessant application of concen trated force that gives pianists the wonderful strength In their fingers that is often commented on. It Is said that Paderewskl once cracked a pane of French plate glass half an Inch thick merely by placing one hand upon It as if upon a key board, and striking it sharply with his little finger. Chopin's last study in c minor has a passage which takes two minutes and five sec onds to play. The total pressure brought to bear on this, It Is estimated, la equal n tnree tons, The average "tonnaae' of an hour's piano playing of Chopin's music varies rrom twelve to eighty four tons. . The story of Paderewskl's extraord Inary strength of hand Is more easily credited In the face of a conversation which has Just been reported. In one of Chopin's pieces, Paderewskl uses his little linger with a force and elasticity almost incredible, and certainly linnos slble to any other living player. When asked by a friend, also a celebrated pianist, how he accomplished this, raiiorewskl replied: "I will tell vou It Is very simple. I practiced that single :nssnge one hour every day for rour years." The story Is authentic. Besides accounting for the marvelous power development of the hands of the great artist. It is another interesting proof of how much hard work has to do with genius. GKAiyS Ot UOLO. It Is a Joy to think the best wo can of liumunil kind. WodHWorth.
