The borough council has decided not
to vacate the Callender Gap road In
the northern end of the borough, as had
been decided upon at a meeting held a
few weeks ago. The road is senium
traveled upon and because of its loca
tion on the top and side of a mountain,
it is hard to keep in repair. Believing
that It would be a saving to. the bor
ough to have the road vacated, the
council decided to do so. There was
such oppositon to the proposed plan of
the council, from the Scott farmers and
Jermyn merchants, that in deference to
their wishes the project has been aban
doned. The road is tile shortest be
tween this nnd Jermyn borough and the
places on the west side of the moun
tain. It has been In use more tnnn
thirty years and is the only road run
ning over the tracts or coal lanu mat
He in the northwest corner of the bor
ough. The Bryan and Sewall club held n
large rally here last evening. After
having a torch light parade through
the principal streets, for which the
Serenude band furnished music, the
cluh assembled at the borough build
ing, on the public square, and listened
to a Democratic discussion of the is
sues of the enmpuign by F. J. Fltz

;hi: A'l i:ss or Tin: .wtions
liccent I'igurcs Which Challenge
Kimland'N Claim to Precedence.
From the Xew York Sun.
It has been the boast of English
men that Queen Victoria, the senior
in respect of period of oillclal service
among the monaichs of the world, rules
over not only a larger erea of national
dominion and colonies, but also over
a larger numiier or suojeets tnan any
other ruler of a government in the
world. The British empire, it has been
said, extends to every part of the globe.
Hnd the sun never sets upon Queen
Victoria's realm. The basis of this
claim of precedence among govern
ments has been found In ligures which
give the territorial urea of the British
empire as ll.uW.OiH; square miles, and
the population of Great Britain nnd
colonies us 2M.000.OOU. Following the
1 Si-ltlsh empire, in respect of popu.ut on,
came, in the order named, first China,
then itussia, the 1'nited States, with
Germany and France fol. owing.
More recent figures, however, seem
to change this, for they show the total
population of the British empire (not
olllclally computed since the census of
lMd) to now be liGT.OOO.OM), while the
population of China, or more properly
of the Chinese Umpire, by late and
authentic tlgures, Is nrj.ooo.ono, or :t,i.-
000,000 greater. Givat Britain In respect
of population, theiefore, ranks second
to China, and the readjustment of
Kngland's sovereignty In Souih Africa
is likely, later an, to curtail rather tha i
to increase the present claims of the
British statisticians. The total popu
lation of Kussia, and of Kussian dep n
deneles was. by the last estimate made
in St. Petersburg. ll.l.ooO.OOo. for a very
long time to come Great Britain seems
to be assured, without rivalry, or the
second place. The present pi.pulutlc n
of the I'l.itid States is; noineti.ing In
excess of TJ.'ieO.u io, and the position of
the 1'nited Stales as fourth in p pula
tlon among the countries of the world
is not likely to be disputed, either, for
many years.
Territorially. Great Britian has long
made the claim to be llrst among the
governments of the world, and th.'
Knglish statisticians In bSx.'i made claim
to mole than H.ociii.oeo square miles of
land under the rule of th" gov. rnir.eur
at Westminster. The largest ib m of
this prodigious empire was not ephor j
India or Australia, but the Northw st . 1
Territory, so called, of North Amor-
lea. the sparsely populated and tinpio- '
ductive regions of upper North Amor- !
iea. north of Canada an 1 British Col- '
timlila nnd smith of the Alaska and
Greenland line. This northwestern t r- ;
ritory stands on the otlicial records of j
the Knglish census reports, for ::.."ii.- '
MM) square miles, which if cl dueled '
from Great Brltian's total would put I
that empire second anmng the govern- j
ments of the world. Itussi.i b. Ing liist. !
The area of the Bosnian Kiiin iv. as !
last computed Is S.iiiio.noo squt.ro m Ics. !
China follows third with 4..oii.noi audi
the t'nited State-s fourth with :;.oim.iih !
square miles, exclusive of Alaska. The i
total urea of Alaska Is tloo.iMio xtpiaie '
miles, pi- nearly one-tilth as largo (.H '
the 1'nited States. Following iho l'n:t
ed States in point of territorial nr.ii
comes llinzil, and then the Pn-mli io
public and its colonics, which have l,i e.i I
increasing nt a lively rate since th1
close of the Franco-German war. Both
in Asia and Africa there has be- n a '
great increase In the French col mini j
possessions during the past tw.ntyj
years, and the popu'atlon of thee col- '

W1LKES-BARRE.
THE TEACHLRS.
Kept in (iood Humor By the Instructors--Prof.
Bible a favor. te.
The institute was opened this morn
ing with invocation by He v. L. C. Mur
dock, pastor of Parrish street Metho
dist Kpiscopal church. The first period
was occupied by Miss Mathllde Collin,
on the subject "Nature Studies."
Dr. Winshlp's talk this morning was
on "Child Study." He said he did not
believe a child could be studied as you
would a plant. The philosophic study
of ustronomy preceded the scientific.
We have mind study now receiving a
great deal of intention and men are
giving very much of their time to it.
Theie is as In astronomy a common
sense child's study. It Is a study
which everybody has and nobody
knows that he has it until somebody
calls his attention to it. The speaker
wanted to give a child study talk as
far as the common sense of every
teachers understood It.
The next speaker was Prof. George
P. Bible. He said that when he cuine
last evening t.i this city be began to
wonder where I was at. The city was
full, the hotels were full and the citi
zens were full of patriotism.
And I must ceiif-ss myself to have
Incline full of the same spirit.
Tile subject of I'rof. Bible's talk was
elements of profession. He had no
sympathy for a number of the junip-ing-Jaeks
claiming to tench elocution,
but who were only throwing out ;r lot
of outlandish mannerisms, which Is not
true eloquence by any means. , ncre
is a power in eloquence. Bryan was
notiiinati '1 for the presidency because
of the power of his eloquence. There is
much to learn about expression. Music
and painting need form an expression,
lu order to please. So with eloquence,
without It is given expression it con
veys no meaning. Prof. Bible made
himself a general favorite.
Prof. Kxeell sung "The old Arm
Chair." I'rof. Wood closed the fore
noon session with a talk on "Business."

From hc Chieugn Post.
She paced excitedly to and fro.
Just why she paced instead of trot
ting or galloping is a matter that Is
di'liciilt to understand, but it Is not un
usual for women to pace in novels.
"It's too bad, too bad," she suid.
Then she continued pacing.
"Such a combination of circumstanc
es." she declared a moment luter, "is
enough to drive one crazy."
"What's the matter?" usked her
dearest friend.
"I received a proposal of marriage
from .Mr. Goodlellow this morning," she
exclaimed, wringing her hand at the
thought that there was no ring to be
wrung with them, "anil he sent It by
telegraph."
"I'v telegraph!"
"Yes. i!e was suddenly called away,
and he couldn't wail until he came back
for my answer, so he telegraphed."
"Bather awkward," suggested the
dearest friend.
"Worse than that." she answered.
"1 might have forgiven the awkward
ness, but he wanted me to telegraph my
answer."
"Oh, dear. I never would hnve the
courage to take such a message into a
telegraph oilii-e and watch the clerk
count the words."
"Well. I didn't like it. but f might
have overlooked that."
"What was the trouble, then?"
"Why, try as hard as I might, 1
couldn't put an acceptance Into exact

could rot to it. ami It was hard work
to make it eight."
"Vi M. what did you do?"

-11 E HAD HIM ANCHORED.
tin Wife Had Taken Stera Measarea
to Reprove ilia Laiiuens.
From the Detroit Frt Press.
He was known to the community as
"Ole Man Scraggs," and was noted for
toe uiuouut ut work he aid not do.
Hie village hotel was his favorite loaf
ing place, for the reason, perhaps, that
it was here that the man who lavishly
asks everybody to have a drink is
most frequently encountered. His wife
had expostulated with him and tried
to make him sign the pledge, but with
out avail. He had not even the virtue
of Hip Van Winkle. He would not go
so fur as to promise. In a spot on the
porch where the sun filtered through
some vines just enough to make the
temperature high enough for comfort
able slumber, he was dozing the after
noon away with the small of his back
in the seat of his chair. His pose was
that of beatltiu indolence.
"Hello, Scraggs," said a. drummer
who frequently visited the town, "have
a drink?"
He lunged forward from the chair
ami stocoed with a violent jerk. An
expression of dismay came over his
face. He tugged with all his might at
his right foot, but it did not budge.
"Help! Help!" he yelled. "Send
the doctor! I am paralyzed."
"What's the matter?" usked
for
the
drummer. "Is your foot asleep?"
"That foot can't go to sleep." he
answered, as he looked wildly uroiind.
"It's made of wood. I've got n wooden
I'-g, but this is the llrst time in my
life it ever refused to walk when any
body said 'liquor.' "
The landlord aoueared at the door
and asked indignantly, "What's the
matter here? Somebody having delir
ium tremens?"
"I don't know," answered the drum
mer. "Whatever it is, It's something
serious. I Just asked Scraggy to come
in and have a drink and he can't get
to the bur room."
The landlord's countenance assumed
a' broad grin. "Your wife was here
uhoui twenty minutes ago," he re
marked. "What's she done?" inquired Scraggs.
"Put a conjuring trick on me?"
"No. She looked you over and took
a ten-penny nail out of her pocket and
a hatchet from under her arm. 'I'll
fix him,' says she. 'He don't ever come
home, and I'll give him some excuse
to like the place so well.' Just then a
customer culled me Inside, but I heard
her hammering away fro dear life,"
"By glory!" Scraggs ejaculated as ho
got down on his available knee to In
spect the reluctant foot more closely.
"I'm spiked to the spot. She's gone and
drove a chunk of Iron right through
one of the Hnest feet that ever came
out of the shop. It's a wicked piece
of vandalism, that's what it is. Go
inside, fellers, and don't wait for me.
Leave me out In the cold world, the
victim of a woman's perfidy." Then as
a new thought struck hem, he ex
plained: "She didn't go dow n-stairs, did she?"
"No."
"That's one comfort. She didn't clinch
It on the other side, nnyhow. Go on
Inside," he repented, waving his hand
tragically, "and leave me to work out
my own freedom. All I ask Is that
you'll send me a chisel and a hammer,
and niebbe, in the course of time, if
the Invitation holds irnnd, "I'll drag
my millntered remains In and drown
some of my sorrow In the flowing

Joe Cleminotis came down from Ward

at the Colorado Mining Stock Exohang"
today. He came to Denver for the pur

on the Morning Siar mine at Ward

mona has received the full benefit of
all revenues from lessors, the property
having been worked altogether on the
leasing plan.
When the Windsor hotel yvas opened
Joe Clemmons wus Installed head port

years. He took much Interest in min
lug matters and had a prospecting out

and finally drifted Into Boulder county.
After working a property at James

lease on the Morning Star, and later
secured a bond on It. The mine gave
evidence of good management, the
party from whom he had bought th
lease having sunk $10,000, so that Joe
has ninde It pay In production over
