Scranton Hoard of Trade.
The closing of the board's Twin Shaft
fund was marked by the following re
port on the fund from Luther Keller,
chairman of the manufacturers' com
mittee: TWIN SHAFT FUND.
As you are all aware, this region was
visited hv an awful catastrophe on Jane
2s last, at the Twin Shaft mine In our sis
ter city, Plttston. This disaster resulted
In the loss of tlfty-elght lives, leaving In
destitute circumstances some twenty
willows and over lull orplytn.
Your committee anticipating a call for
financial aid for the sufferers, held a meet
.f illy 1 (two days after the disaster!, al
which Die following appeal was made, lo
wli:
"The Scranton board of trade, through
Its manufacturers' committee, appeals to
the citizens of the city of Scranton, for aid
in behalf of Hip widow and orphans of the
Twin Shaft disaster at Piltslon. Any one
wishing to contribute to this worthy
cause will please send same lo l. B. Ath
erton, secretary of the board, who will
forward the amount to the proper parties,
and acknowledge same through the daily
papers."
This appeal was met by contributions
amounting to l'i,3M.W. which was very
gratifying to your committee, and exceed
ed hy a large utiiouut our most sanguine
expectations.
lu addition to the direct appeals of the
I hoard, some of our prominent merchants
si-ni letters to wholesale dealers In their i
1 several lines, ai d from whom they pur
. chased goods. Tills proved to be a very i
successful plan, and resulted in adding .
4ii.j2ti.l7 to the fund.

31r. (Jroen's address contained much
of interest to the manufacturer. it
was an argument that the over-production
of manufactured goods in the
United States as compared with home
consumption and exports to foreign
countries should ffo met by an Increas
ed foreign trade. In order lo help ac
complish this, the Museums has gath
ered through its agents thousands of
samples of raw and manufactured ar
ticles of foreign market and a fund of
figures and other valuable Information
pertaining thereto. All of this Is at the
service of L'nlted Stales manufacturer
without cost to them, except where
speclul Information Is desired dhd this
Is secure! on payment of a subscrip
tion fee of $."i0 r year.
During hla tall; Mr. Green said:
"The times are sadly out of Joint In
this country. Conlldence lb lacking, no
new enterprises uro going forward,
money Is scarce, nnd our home market
Is no longer a profitable one. This is
not a happy condition of things, m.r
is It ono that should exist In this the
richest country on the face of the enrth
In natural wealth anil natural resourc
es, as well as creative wealth. One of
the reasons for the present state of af
fairs Is the enormous Industrial expan
sion of the past few years, which has
placed us in the nositlon of being nidi
to manufacture in trom six to eight
mouths nn entire year's consumption
of any one cluss of goods which may
be mentioned.
TALK ABOUT OOMPETIOX.
"We have beard bo much of British
competition, Oermun competition, jtel
gian competition, etc.. etc., with the
producers of American manufacturers,
that it Is not strange that many people
have obtained tho Idea that foreign
Industries exceed those of our own
country in magnitude; hut Ihe fact Is,
that tile Tniled States is the greatest
manufacturing nation In ihe world.
According to Mulhall the fallowing was
the total value of all the mnnufiii lured
goods, produced by live principal na
tions of the world In lxsS: The Culled
Slates. ll.t4.l.('iK'.0iio: ilreat Krltaln.
t'S2il.iMirt,0otl: ticriiiaiiyk tSSIl.OOrt.uoO;
France, Msri.Oon, ooo; Russia. ;ia.otlil.ii(ifi.
It will be seen by these figures, that in
1NM. the nianufueluieis of this country
cquulled in value the combined output
of all the manufactories of (ireat Brit
ain and llermany, which next to the
I 'tilled Stales ure the greatest manu
facturing nutlons.
"In Is'.MJ, according to the census, the
total value of mnnufactuied goods pro
duced show that the l'nlted States ex
ceeded the above enormous totnl by
nearly :su per cent., the ligures being
nearly SlO.liOO.OOD.tHHl.
"The amount of capital Invested In
manufactures In the I'nited States, is
today larger by ten times than the
aggregate capital of all the national
bunks of the land. Our capacity to
produce has developed far beyond our
capacity to consume, nnd there is
nothing in the outlook for the future
lo better these conditions, as while in
the nasi ten years the population of
the l'nlted States has increased 2." per
cent., our miiiitifucturcrs' output has
Increased "4 per cent. The greatest
need of our manufacturers is a wider
market, as never has there been a time
when the competition was so keen, und
the margin of profits so small, as at
present.
TIIF. FORKK1N FIF.LU.
"These conditions have led our man
ufacturers to turn their attention to
foreign lielils. They can compete In
the icrkets of the world with other
tuitions, both In prices and quality.
While our exports of manufactured
goods tire small in comparison with
those of other nations, still they are
Increasing lu a very satisfactory man
ner. We now export, per yeur. goods
to the value of less than Siim.min.urMi.
us against Cleat Britain's SUMMHlO.flOU
and Oermany's $5Ho,non.iMi, The ex
ports of manufactured goods for the
tlseal year of IWa-iMi were but a little
over 2 per cent of the total. Figures
for the seven months of this colander
year Indicate nn export trade of not
loss than S240.0o0.ttuu of manufactured
goods. This will be far In excess of
anything in the past, und it is men
tioned as a proof of the growing pop
ularity of American goods wherever
Introduced.
"it Is a straniro fact that very
few of the American manufacturers
hnve any idea of where they stand In
comparison with tho manufacturers of
other countries. In the past each one
having been so thoroughly absorbed in
competing with his neighbor, each tiini
ing at perfection, to enable him to hold
his trade, that Ihey buve distanced the
manufacturers of other countries.
"One of the greatest obstacles In the
past In the development of export trade
has been the lack or knowledge. A de
sire for such knowledge and or the
possibilities of trade hus led to the
establishment of the Bureau of Inform
ation of the Philadelphia Museums, of
which 1 am addressing you.

Hclcrcc tiurdiicr Decide 'llial .Mr.
eiil t'niinot Kccovcr.
In the case of John A. Neiils. of South
Scraiiion against the city of Scranton
C. B, liurdtier. to whom the manor
whs refei red a referee, yesterday tiled
hlit reiiorl with Prothonotary Pryor.
The lindliig is for the city.
The suit was to recover $r,.fHM for per
sonal Injuries sustained by Hie plain
tiff by falling Willie passing over a
temporary sidewalk In front of the John
L. Hull property on lower Lackawan
na avenue. Mr. Neuls Is a cripple and
Is obliged to use two crutches. On
Sept. 14, ISSN, while In front of the Hull
prooerty, Mr. Neuls claims that one
of his' crutches broke through the
planking, which constituted the side
.walk. and he was thrown to the ground
and sustained a broken arm. The re
fereP from the evidence presented hus
found the following facts:
Thai Fild sidewalk was bulb of sub
stantial hemlock planks two Indies or
more In thickness, about a foor wide,
spiked to joists resting upon beams sup
ported by solid posts on 'one side and
a stone wall running along the curb on
the other. The planks were laid clos"
together, and the only cracks between
them at the lime of the uccident were
what is called "season cracks" and none
ot them exceeded one-half Inch In width
at any place.
At the lime of the accident the plank
constituting the sidewalk were sound, not
rotten or decayed, und there was no open
ing between them of sufficient width to
enable a crutch from an inch to an Inch
and a half In diameter al the bottom to
go through.
That the accident was caused hy ren
son of the crotch or foot of the plaintiff
being placed upon a banana sklnor wet
place on the sidewalk, upon which lie
slipped, and not by reason of want of
proper construction of the sidewalk by
the defendant, or failure to keep tt In
proper repair.
From the foregoing findings of fact the
referee reaches tht conclusion that Judg
ment should be entered in favor of the
defendant and against the plaintiff.

Water-Damaged
It is well known that our fine stock of Carpets, Draperies,
etc., has never been offered at "jreat reductions," "clearance
sales," etc., for the reason that the floods were new and select
in styles, durable in quality, and rijht in price.
The recent fire in the Coal Exchange ha3 made conditions
dilferent. The pattern and quality is still the same, but the
appearance is somewhat impaired by having" been wet.
Our trade is such that we cannot afford to have anything
in the store with even a suspicion of damage. Therefore,
every grade of goods must be closed out for what it will bring
whether damaged or not. Tf you need anything for floors or
windows, you may never again have the opportunity of buying
such goods at such prices.

wish to correct, as far as
possible, th's erroneous
idea. No doubt the ocu
lists are very useful and
even necessary in dis
eases of the eye,but when
it comes to fitting glasses
their services are entirely
too expensive, when it is
taken into consideration
that we furnish glasses
for about one third of
what they ask and guar
antee the fit. Now to
prove our ability to fit
and our honesty of pur-
pose in talking as we do,
we make this special of
fer: For every pair of
glasses fitted by us
that do not prove
satisfactory, we will
refund the money.
You run no risk in
letting us try. If we suit
3'ou we save you money.
If we don't, it costs you
nothing. We have a first
class optician in charge
ot this department, and
we back up his work by
a positive guarantee. Now
dont't delay any longer,
come to-day, all you
people in all the various
stages, up to total blind
ness. You may be
helped. Don't come if
you're entirely blind, and
don't be so blind as not
to come if you think
glasses will help you.
Come and find out, any
how. It won't cost you
anything if we don't suit
you, and it won't cost you
much if we do.
