LEBECK & CORIN
A GREAT STRATEGIST.
lis Was Willing to Fight. Blood and Pie
for Ills Country.
A flery-looklnit party with his hand
stuck Into the bosom of his coat and his
mustachlos bristling like the angry fore
front of war walked Into The Star office
the? other morning- and approached the
editor of the crank department
"Excuse me, sir," he said, with a
sweeping bow, "but may I speak with
you a moment on a matter of Import
ance?" The editor wondered whether It was
going to be a dime- or a quarter, but
told the visitor to proceed.
"I want to publish a card In your
paper, sir, but before doing so I desire
to obtain a few facts relative thereto."
"Go on with your rat-kllllng," said the
editor, with pleasing and easy famil
iarity. The visitor frowned slightly, but went
on.
"I desire to ask, sir," he said, "It
there is any probability of war between
the United States and Great Britain."
. "None in the leant."
"Nor any with Spain?"
"Still less."
''Do you know of any other country
We may have trouble with?"
"None."
.' "And you would say that we shall
have a period of absolute peace for the
next ten years?"
"I'll bet my salary on It in advance
for that time."
"Then If you will be so kind I would
be pleased to have you publish this
article in your valuable journal over
my signature, sir." and the visitor ex
tended a fot mid able looking document,
tied with red tape, toward the editor.
-!WBat--bout?-"Inquired theedti
tor. taking it gingerly.
The visitor straightened himself up
proudly.
"1 Is an appeal, sir, to the patriots of
this great and glorious republic, sir,
to defend the nation's honor at what
ever cost of blood and treasure, sir, and
In that article I announce that I desire
o enlist a thousand men at once who
Will be ready at a moment's notice to lay
down their lives with me at their head
In defense of liberty and our native
land. We must defy all foreign govern
ments, sir, and effete monarchies, and
I desire to go upon the record, sir, as a
patriot with blood to shed on my coun
tiy's altar."
The editor applauded the valor of the
visitor, told him there were hundreds
like him and took the communication
under advisement, where it still is.

FOR THE CINDER PATH.
Two Hundred lk.lar Subscribed by
Robert W. Johnson.
The Carbondale Cycle club have re
ceived a big encouragement in their
work for a cinder path between Scran
ton and Crystal Lake and the ECheine
now begins to materialise. What has
given the boys so much encouragement
came yesterday in the shape of a check
for two hundred tlollars which was sub
scribed by Kobert W. Johnson, of New
Brunswick. N. J. Mr. Johnson is one
of the leading members of the Crystal
Lake Park association and thinks the
path will do much toward making the
lake a popular resort.
At the meeting to be held on Friday
evening, more definite plans will be en
tered into. The path, if built, will prob
ably run along the bank of the creek
which Is the outlet of the lake. This
would make the grade very slight, so
that no difficulty would be experienced
by riders.
TO SWEEP THE STREET.
Bids to be Sent by the Mitchell Hose
Company.
The streets at this period of the year
are extremely dirty and the warm
weather of the past few days has dried
the mud up so that the air Is now full
of flying dust, making It very disagree
able to persons.
This matter should receive the atten
tion of the councils at once, and ar
rangements should be made by which
the sprinkling and sweeping could com
mence. There will probably be some
competition this year as to wfco shall
get the contract for sweeping. AtiMng
others who have been looking Into the
matter are members of the Mitchell hose
company and they will probably put In
a bid for the work. Their street sprink
ling venture turned out so well that
they are thinking seriously of trying
for all the street cleaning.
AT ALDERMAN JONES.
An
Kxelting Caso Ilcnrd-Thrllllng
linmanco In Dlnok and White.
The office of Alderman Jones was the
scene of much interest at a case In
which Vandllng parties were concerned.
Loving another man's wife Is not con
ducive to peace In the family and this
was the cause of the trouble.
The case was brought by Thomas
Williamson aguinst Amos White, a col
ored mun. und liix wife. White Is a
boarder of Mr. Williamson, but as Mrs,
Williamson seemed to prefer White's
company to thnt of her husband, he
grew Jealous. When he found his wife
hugging White he could stand it no
longer, and so hied himself off to the
alderman's. He charged them with
unseemly and obscene conduct. Officer
Neary brought In White, but Mrs. Wil
liamson escaped. However, agreement
was made between Williamson and
White and the matter was settled.

ARCHIBALD,
The borough council met In regular
session on Monday evening. There was
full attendance of members and Presi
dent Jones presided. . Orders were dl
recte to Issue in payment of the fol
lowing bills. P. J. O'Boyle, $10; George
Cartlza, $1; T. Whoftln, $25; H. E. Lln
derman, $25; John H. Kearney, 125;
Thomas Swift, $1.25; Henry Simon, $1.25;
Crescent Electric, company, $200; street
commissioner's time, $34.88; James Car
den, $1; H. Wagner, $1; Thomas Malone,
of Pine street, presented a claim of
$100 for damage caused by the over
flow from a culvert and Bernard Col
meyer also asked to be paid for the
damage done to his property from the
same cause. Action was deferred until
the claims are Investigated. Action on
the bill of Archbald Water company
was postponed until the contract exist
ing between the borough and the com
pany Is produced. A number of the
residents of South Main street peti
tioned for a sidewalk along the river
between Wayne street bridge and Mar
vin Myers', thus making it unnecessary
for children going to or coming from
to cross the street railway. This mat
ter was referred to the road committee.
Chairman H. C. Llnderman, of the
board ot auditors, presented the annual
report 'and made several good sugges
tions as to the needs of the borough
council. Among other things he sug
gested that a vault or cabinet be made
for the storage of borough documents.
At present the auditors are consider
ably hampered in their work by the
lack of system In arranging borough
papers and the difficulty In getting ac
cess to borough documents of past
years. He also suggested that a can
cellation stamp be given to the borough
treasury. Mr. Linderman's suggestions
were practical and business-like, and
they deserve the Immediate attention
of the council. During the discussion
which his remarks created some one
suggested that the borough safe be
used for that purpose, but this being
too small was promptly sold to Post
master O'Rourke for $25. The bond of
Treasurer Sommers In $12,000 was ap
proved. His sureties are Anthony
Brill, George Heckman, John Carden,
Michael Baltes, Henry Probst and An
thony Probst. A resolution was passed
directing that an order be Issued in
favor of Tax Collector Philbln for over
payment of his account. Burgess Burke
suggested that the council pass an or

"Why, No-To-Bac cures!"
"Cures? Why, 1 sould say so. I used
It myself. It cured me. I bought one
box of No-To-Hac from Pelham and
was cured after using tobacco chiefly
chewing for eight (8) or ten (10)
years."
Everybody looked astonished and
wondered what would next turn up.
"Suppose it don't cure?" someone
asked.
"Then you get your mony back."
replied the druggist. "No-To-Bac Is
made by the Sterling Remedy Co., Chi
cago, Montreal and New York, and
every druggist In America is author
ized to sell No-To-Iiac under an abso
lute guarantee to cure or money re
funded. They always do the square
thing. Here, read their famous book
let "Don't Tobacco Spit and In it."
