Dear Mrs. Boles:
In Saturday's Bcranton Tribune it is
noted that the Young Women's Chris

nucleus of a building fund. I will make
herewith a subscription for 100 copies

will have many subscriptions running
Into the thousands, can early decide
how large an Issue will be, needed.
yours very trtiiy,
. William H. Richmond.
This kind thouo-htfulness on the pnrt
of Mr. Richmond is greatly appreciat
ed by ladles interested in the project,
coming as it did entirely unsolicited.
His Is a good example for others to fol
low.
The advertising' committee Is meet
ing with encouraging success. Many
from out of the city are already apply
ing for spnee, but preference Is given
to the business men of Scranton. Some
business men who at first bought small
space In the paper are asking for ad
ditional space, realising that the pa
per is going to be a great advertising
medium. Many advance sunscnpiions
for conies of the paper are being sent
In, and already a large number of ar
ticles for the paper are In the hands of
he editor. It Is' possible that to ac
commodate all the friends who wish to
advertise and the contributors whose
articles are worthy of place. It may
be necessary to Increase the size of the
paper.
In addition a the committees in
charge of the work already printed,
there Is an advisory committee consist
ing of Mrs. Thomas Dickson, Mrs.
Prances Hackley, Mrs. Willinm H.

IT IS "THE STANDARD."
A New Shoo Store Established in Hotel
Jermyn Building.
The new shoe store In the Hotel Jer
itivn building, recently .started and
called "The Standard," Is run bv two
young men who have had several years
of experience in the business and are
more or less known throughout this
section. C. B. Brodhead and CI. S.
Hanks have each spent ten or a dosen
years in or about the city, and The
Tribune welcomes them among the pro
gressive shoe dealers of our progressive
city. They will keep popular and well-
made footwear and if fair and honest
dealings with all classes count, and It
certainly does, their success is already
assured. They are nicely located on
Spruce street, and we feel sure they
will step quickly Into prominence. No
better lines are made than they show
the people, for the prices asked.
This firm will also do custom work
and repairing, both will be done in
the neatest and most substantial way.
Messrs. Brodhead and Hunks punxse
making the name Standard mean In its
truest sense "a criterion," something
to live by, a name that shall be known
throughout the county and shall em
body, honesty, pluck and progress.
We recommend them lo all people
who wear shoes and wish their money's
worth every . time. Success to the
Standard Shoe store.

Novel Arrangement Made by a West
Side Beneficial Society.
PRBVEXTS HIS BEING A PALTER
Many Cases of Suffering Resulting from
Desertion Com Be for the Poor
Board-Aa Old y Dark t's Pa
thetic Appoatjfor Aid.
L
Scranton trots out another novelty
a paid inmate at the poor house. He
was admitted yesterday by order of the
poor board on motion of President
LangstafT, who explained that the man
who Is aged and feeble has no relatives
to care for him and Is deoendent upon
a West Side beneficial society for sub
sistence. The society was willing to
provide for him. but the old man
thought It was too much to expect and
concluded to go to the poor house. The
society was not willing that one of its
members should be a common pauper
and offered to pay for his keeping at
the farm. This is the only Instance
known to any of the directors or of
ficers, where a person's board and keep
ing has been paid for at a poor nouse.
The price of board was fixed at $1.73
per week.
Desertion was the cause or nearly an
the poverty that had to be relieved at
yesterday's meeting. There were two
women who were deserted by their hus
bands, one mother who could not find
the father of her three-months-old
babe, and one child whose father ran
away and left her after his wife died.
The little one was brought before the
board by her grand-parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Leonard Simersori, of Providence.
Their daughter was the mother of the
little girl, and when the mother died
they took the little one under their
rare. The father whose name was
Shear, was never any too good to the
child, and when a tow. months ago he
deserted her the grandparents were
overjoyed for this gave them what they
had long sought for, the full care and
training of their little grand-daughter.
Yesterday when the story was relat
ed to the board there was no hesltency
on the part of the members In Indentur
ing the child to the grand-parents. The
old couple walked out of the meeting
room leading their little charge be
tween them and wearing happy smiles.
RELIC OF WAR.
The sentiments of the pathetic
"Suawnee River," were brought to
mind by an old darkey who came be
fore the board asking for money to
take him back to South Carolina, that
lie might die in his old home. He
owns a small patch of ground and a
little cottage near Thnmasvllle In Dav
idson county, where his old father, now
a nonogenerian, still ives, and when
all his folks gathered and settled af
ter. being set free. He has seven broth
ers and five sisters buried there and
as the doctors here tell him that his
days aro few It is his wish that he
might get home before he dies so that
he may be burled with them.
Ho came north about four years ago
with a contractor named Conway, who
was then building a section of the
Wllkes-Barre and Eastern railroad in
the vicinity of Avoca. His health
broke down and he had to give up the
hard life of the railroad camp. After
a time he secured work with Dunn
Bros, ami later with the Asphalt com
pany, with whom he worked until last
December, when he was stricken with
pneumonia and had to be sent to the
Lackawanna hospital. He was dis
charged a few days ago cured of pneu
monia, but marked for a consumptive's
grave. He was told that he had not
long to live end resolved to make an
effort to get back to his home before the
end came. Th board partly through
sympathy for the poor darkey and
partly because It will be cheaper to pay
his way home than to bury him voted
to give him transportation. Director
Fuller bought the ticket for him, and
today he will Btart for Dixie.
The home committee was authorized
to engage a landscape gardener to lay
out the Hillside grounds, and was also
directed to advertise for proposals for
an electric plant at the farm.
PRICE OF PRESCRIPTIONS.
Mr. Shotten, after calling attention
to the wide difference In the price of
prescriptions and the abuse of the privi
lege of having a prescription refilled,
Introduced a resolution making It obli
gatory for druggists doing business
with the district to write the price of
tne medicine on the original prescrip
tion and forbidding them from refilling
the prescription without a written order
from the outdoor physicians.
The two Ellis children, whose par
ents parted Inst summer and left them
at the Home for the Friendless were ac
cepted as charges on the district and
will be Indentured If homes can be
found for them, their parents having
ceased to pay for their support. The
father of the children sat. In the rear of
the room during this proceeding.
John' Mlckus, aged 11, and' Charles

who was murdered March 17, were In

AMATEURS IN DRAMA.
Wood's College Pupils Qiv a Creditable
Performance at the Frothlnghara.
The presentation of "The Lost Mine"
by the Williams Debating and Literary
society of Wood's college at the Froth
lngham last night was quite creditable
for an amateur organization. The par
ticipants were neither stagey nor con
strained, the extremes which generally
characterize beginners, but Instead
were natural and reliant and connc-
quently were seen at their best. There
was no halting In the lines, and every
thing moved oft smoothly, showing
careful training and patient drill. The
settings and costumes betrayed little
or nothing of the amateur In them, and
were quite as elaborate as the average
drama attempts. The cast of charac
ters were as follows: (;

Miss Hawks put more life and feel
ing Into her work thnn the others and
as a result came in for the greatest,
share of the encomiums. Miss Beall
and Miss Haggerty the other lady mem
bers of the. cast, were easy and grace
ful In their ' parts and were 'iberally
applauded. The male members were
on the whole, second to the ladies
principally . because of their lack of
"stage voice," this being their most
noticeable and It might be said only
very noticeable defect; otherwise they
read and acted well.
Specialties by a colored- troupe and
local artists were Introduced In the
second act and were very entertaining.
There was a good sized audience which
was not sparing In applauding the play
ers. PREPARED FOR A SEIGE.
Demented Woman Gathers a Pile of Am
. munition and Barricades liar House.
People living In the neighborhood of
Marlon street, and Ross avenue- sent
word to police headquarters at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon that a Mrs. Rich
ards of that locality who is slightly
demented at times, was killing her
children. . .
The patrol wagon with Patrolmen
McHale, Perry and Johler aboard hur- 1
lied to the scene, and. upon arriving '
there, found that Mrs. Richards had
quitted down and barricaded herself In
the house. Her children had escaped
and she was sitting alone In one of the
lower rooms with her lap filled with
stones and a Mle of the same at her
feet.
She readily admitted the police who
she thought came to protect her from
her neighbors, she, having had the hal
lucination that the neighbors were go
ing. to besiege her house. When how
ever they attempted to get her into the
patrol wagon she made a desperate re
sistance and when finally gotten in
fought all the way to the station house,
attracting an immense crowd by her
screams. She will be examined this
morning.
ROBBED IX DAYLIGHT.
Desperate Crime Committed by John
Welsh and James Mc'ilnler.
' Last Wednesday at 4.30 o'clock In the
afternoon John Sobwsky was robbed of
his watch and chain while he was
walking along one of the streets near
the Continental mine. Two men ac
costed him and one, John Welsh by
name, demanded payment for taxes.
Sobusky said he had paid his taxes and
that Welsh had no right to demand
payment. The latter persisted In ask
ing for them and Sobusky persisted in
refusing to pay.
Finally, after a long argument, the
two men pounced upon their victim.
They tore his clothing, beat him and
took from hlR pockets a watch and
chain, all that Sobusky had with him.
The man wus left In a dazed condition
lying on the road. Wednesday evening
he made a complaint against Welsh
and the other man, whose names is
James McUlnty. Constable Tim Jones
went to the Continental that night, but
the two men eluded arrest until yes
terday, when they were hauled before
Alderman Moses, of the Fifteenth
ward.
Each furnished $500 ball and were
released.
AFTER A MXE MONTHS' HINT.
Marshall Goodman, Who Robbed the
l'aurot House Lest August, Captured in
Klmira.
Last August a colored porter at the
Faurot house, Marshall Goodman,
plundered- several of the boarders'
rooms and made off with about $250
worth of- jewelry and clothing. Chief
of Police Simpson suspected that Good
man would go to Towanda, where his
father raji a blacksmith shop, and
thither a description and request for
his arrest were sent. In January last
word was received here that Goodman
was in Towanda and requisition was
made for a warrant. Before the papers
could be sent he disappeared.
Recently he again made his appear
ance In Towanda. On Monday after
noon Constable Guy C. Hollow learned
thnt Goodman was at his father's shop
and sent a young man there to detain
him In conversation until he could get
the warrant. The young man thought
to gain a little fame by making the ar
rest himself, but Goodman overpow
ered him and escaped.
It was rightly conjectured that he
would go to Elmira, thirty-seven miles
distant, and a message was sent to
the police there to be on the lookout
for him. Thursday morning Policemen
Wood and Powell found Goodman, but
when they approached him he took to
his heels and despite a shot fired by one
of the policemen to frighten him. he
kept on running. After a lively chase
he was finally captured In the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western yard,
where he was laying in wait fur a train
to pull out.
In the afternoon he was taken back
to Towanda on a ball piece and yes
terday morning Chief of Police Jacob
Allison and Constable Hollon brought
him to this city. Owing to the absence
of Alderman Millar, who issued the
warrant, he was not given a hearing.
As the law requires that he shall be
given a hearing within twenty-four
hours after his arrest, it is likely that
the police will re-arrest him this morn
Ing on a warrant to be sworn out Be
fore some other alderman.
A SERPENTINE ROAD.
Original Suggestion by the City Engineer
for Uradinu n Steep Incline.
City Engineer Phillips has prepared
an original and novel scheme for a
practicable grade on that extremely
steep portion of Olive street between
Taylor and Irving avenue, where the
abutting property holders are desirous
of grading, guttering and otherwise Im
proving the street in front of their
houses.
The natural grade of the street at
that point Is 24 per cent., or 24 feet In
the hundred. An Idea of the steepness
of this hill can be better conjectured
when it Is stated that Lackawanna
avenue hill, at -Its steepest stretch, is
less than 12 per cent. By the city en
gineer's plans a grade of 15 per cent.,
which will make the road passable, can
be established. Ills idea is to construct
a 16-foot serpentine roadway through
the 60-foot street and devote the spare
space to grass plots and shade trees.
As this will most likely never be any
thing but a residence thoroughfare.
there can be no objection on account of
the narrowness of the street and the
proposition should meet with favor on
account of the opportunity it affords
for making a beautiful roadway there,
