THE WESTON MILL CD NUMEROUS SALES LITTLE PROFITS Motto of the Shrewd, Experienced Men Who Own the Leader Store. BIQ PROGRESS IS SHORT TIME Lebeck & C'oriu Itecuu Business iu Scrauton with Tweuty Salespeople. They Now F.uiploy Eighty, Have Enlarged the Store und Pioposc Another Audition-.Ietbod Pruc ticed in Conducting n liig Store. If a yard of ribbon that costs 23 cents Is sold for -5 cents, or a handkerchief hat costs 80 cents is sold for X! cents, the firm which does the selling would be unable to continue business for any prreut length of time, especially when Is considered the running expenses of a Btore. 1 bis view would not, how ever, apply to a firm which does busi ness on a large scale and averages many sales for each minute during business Ik hu h. "Small und sure profits often repeat ed is the toundatioii of modern suc cess" is the motto which appealed in the advertisements of Lebeck lr t'orin when that tlrm opened The Leader general dry goods store iu this city in July 1S9,"i. The motto has ever since been tacked on nil the advertiS'-ments and printed mutter Issued by the firm. The growth of The Leader's business is a good illustration of the reward that comes with modern business Ideas. When The Leader r.tore was estab lished a little over a year ago the start was made with but twenty sales people. Today a force of eighty is employed and an additional seventy five feet deep bus been added to the rear of the store. The addition was 8. E. LEBECK. made as recently as -last spring but a further amount of space is contem plated by building two stories to the rear, of the store. All that is a pretty good Indication of the progress that may be made by two alert young men In a city like Scranton. S. Ji. Lebeek und Arther Corln com piise the llrm. Mr. Lebeck obtained his early business experience In New York city, but came to Scranton from Nashville. Tmn., where he had been engaged in the retail dry goods trade for nine years. Mr. Corin's entire busi ness life whs spent In New York city. The former devntes his attention to the clerks and lloor of the store, while Mr. Corin has charge of the office de partment. This division of manage ment and oversight is the combination that has had much to do with The Leader's success. The principle of "small profit and many sales" Influences the firm in all its buying. Saleable goods rather than slightly defective articles are what FITTING A COAT. The Leader store aims to present to Its customers. Their desirability and the "small profit" principle do the rest. In order that there may be no lapse In this policy a permanent buying agent has been established In New York city and either Mr. Lebeck or Mr. Corln visit that big trade center every other week. The purchase of big lots explains the reason for The Leader's frequent "special" sales. During a ribbon tale recently 10.000 yards were sold In sev en days. One lot of ribbons purchased by the firm comprised nearly 6,000 pieces. The customer who purchased but one yard or a yard and a half is t" "little drop iu the liuik-t" bttwe muny purchases made it possible for the mill to conduct the sale at a leg itimate profit. Like , it her stores In all line of trade. Til Lender has its specialty, which is ladies' and children's cloaks and silks and dress go.Hls. Any article pur chased may be return tl by the custo mer und the price is r. 'united. There ate no conditions attach. i the priv ilege. The Leader has w. her at tractive principle in having the sell- ARTHUR CORIN.

Kvery seat upstairs and down In M uslc hall was taken lust night and the enthusiastic applause given was the best indication of the success of the German comic opera, "The Village Barber," which was sung by members of the Scrauton Llederkruns. Herr Snyder ussumed the purt of Lux, the barber, and acted and sang it well. Mrs. W. P. Schilling and Miss May Speicher were the recipients of much upplause. The others who took part were Messrs. iiartl, Reppert, Relchert, Widmayer. Uecker and Wagner. The scenes are In the house of a vil lage barber in Germany. The barber in addition to his tonsorlal duties does some doctoring, und though the plot is vague und only meant as a hinge on which to bring the persons of the op era on the stage, the piece Is replete with tuneful solos and tine choruses, isauer's orchestra furnished the in strumental music. COLLEGE BOYS ENTERTAIN. Two Pleasing Performances at St Thomas College Hull. The students of St. Thomas' college proved themselves most capable enter tainers yesterday afternoon and even ing when they presented to two large audiences a ddlghtful and varied pro gramme, consisting of musical, liter ary and dramatic numbers. The first part consisted of a chorus, "The Last Words of Kmmet," W. A. Lynott sustaining the solo parts; a reci tation, "The Knight's Toast," by F. CtR!CER OP THE CLOAK DEPARTMENT. Collins; a duet, "The Wounded Sol dier," by R. Kirkwood and F. Pulaski; a recitation, "Home, Sweet Home," by M. .Mutiley; a burletta, "The Trouble some Servant," by Messrs. O'Malley and W. A. Lynott; a solo, "The Sailor's Farewell," by Joe Murphy and selec tions by Bauer's orchestra, which was under the direction of Professor Rich ard Lindsay, who Is the musical direc tor of the dramatic association. One of the orchestral numbers was "The St. Thomas College March" dedicated to Ht. Rev. William o'Hara. which was heard for the first time in public at the matinee. The entertainment concluded with a three-act drama, "Maurice, the Wood cutter," presented by the St. Thomas College Dramatic association. The principal role was enacted and well en acted, too, by J. K. Gallagher, who pos sesses far more than the average ama teur ability. The others in the cast were G. McMullen, J. Roder, D. Jor dan. J. Brogan, K. Burnett, A. Colll gan. F. J. Connery. J. J. Jordan, W. . McGee. K. O'Malley. F. Kennedy and It. Kennedy. The play was carefully and correctly staged and costumed, and altogether was an exceptionally tine amateur performance. MARSHALL IS IMPROVING. Recovery ol'tlie Colored Youth Who Has Shot Is Lipceted Confidently. Y'esterday the condition of Baxter Marshall, the colored boy who was shot In the legs by John Morgan, was very much improved and the chances nre that he will get well. He will not be entiiely out of danger, however, for three or four days more. Morgan was taken up to the county jail yesterday afternoon. Upon being searched his pockets were found to con tain a quantity " large buckshot und a piece of lead weighing a pound and fitted up for use In a fight. The fami ly of ynung Marshall Is not disposed to press the case against Morgan, feeling that It was an accident. The first question he asked of Chief of Police Robllng was: "Bos3, d'ye tihk I'll go down do line?" IN POLICE COURT. Frank Flack, of Hullsteud court, was Hoed j or sentenced to thirty days In Jail tor being drunk and carrying an open knife looking for some one 'o cut with it. George Pasko, of South Washington avenue l'olunder. was sent to the county Jail for twenty days for being drunk and disorderly. out of that extensive lot was W a$ Jtft siy, i 141 ffe OSTRELSY THAT IS UP TO DATE Primrose & West's Company Seen at the Academy of Music GAVE A FINE ENTERTAINMENT Supcrba Was Repeated Lust Night at the Frothinghnm llet'orc a Large AudiencC"(iaod Vaudeville I'.ntcr tainmcnt at the Ua.i--luterun-fional Opera Company Will Siug Lucia di Liuiiineriuoor Tonight. Vaudeville at the Academy Tonight. Primrose and West's combination of ancient and modern niiiusterelsy was received with great tavor last night by a laree audience ut the Academy of Music. Primrose & West are great favorites in this city for they always have an uttructive bill to present on their annual appearance here. l.uul night was no exception. When the curtain went up a few minutes after S o'clock a number of real negroes were disclosed who gave the opening port inn of the entertainment In the good, old minstrel style of the long ago. Walter Dixon sang "Water melon Party;" W. II. Tucker, old Kentucky Home;" Julius Glen, a comic song; Henry Williams, "High Bom Colored Lady." The unique quartette sang selections and this part of the entertainment closed with "Songs of Our Country," by all the colored mem bers of the company. Then came a transformation and the white-colored members of the company to the number of fitly were disclosed, the white members occupying the posi tion of prominence at the footlights. Billy West was interlocutor and George Primrose, George Wilson and Jimmy Wall the comedians, and they kept the audience in a roar for an hour. Be tween the laughs vocal numbers were rendered by Louis Prilzwok, Charles Kent and William Windom. "Scenes and commotions on the Dark town Camp Grounds" by the colored people followed, and after that Inimit able musical trio, Howe, Wull and Wal ters, had entertained for a period, Billy West led the "Phantom Guards" In a march. Then George Wilson the same old George came on and the audience laughed. He talked, or rather he chat tered, and the audience roared. He sang and several fat men almost .fell out of their seats. Having accom plished his mission, George departed, but the audience would not be satis tied until he had returned und respond ed to two encores. There ure monologue nrtists and monologue artists, but for Scrunton ap parently there Is only one, and his name Is George Wilson. A pictorial exhibition of the world by Millar Broth ers Diorama concluded the perform ance. One of the enjoyable features of the evening's ejitalnment was not down on the bills. It was the singing of the Mollneux quartette of Kingston, composed of William M. Clark, first tenor; Frank I. Kemmell, second tenor; Samuel J. Price, baritone; Will G. Boyle, basso. They sang two selections In superb style and were rewarded by hearty encores. The quartette is not a permanent feature, but was Intro duced last night as a special number. Another large audience was delighted by "Superbu" at the Frothingham last night, and the transformation scenes ballets and specialties called forth lib eral applause. The Fair Sex Burlesque Show was the attraction at Davis' theater yes- terday afternoon and evening, and the good features were greatly enjoyed oy large audiences at each performance. The company contains some excellent speciality artists, umong the leaders be ing Hurt Marlon and Billy Pearl, the burnt cork comedians and acrobats. Bertha Francis and Ed. Lowrey ap pealed in a rather monotonous song which ended, however. In a lively box ing bout that brought down the house und evoked enthusiastic encores. Mlgs Hughes, whirlwind dancer, gave a pleasing song and dance, and the Irish comediuns, Campbell and Caultield, and the Brownings created much mirth by their witty sayings. Clarice Pasquelleiia, the European dancing Wonder, made her first ap pearance ami created favorable im pression. The entertainment con cludes with a burletta entitled "A Trip to Texas." New and popular choruses and ballads were interspersed through the performance, und were given in creditable style.
