If You Know Anything
About the system adopted by the leading manufacturers of muslin un
derwear, you know that about this season they generally lunkc It a
point to unload their stocks. It is unnecessary that wc give the reasons
for this, tllC all Important fact i.S that wc took advantage of the op
portunity which custom afforded and bought as nice a line of ladies'
underwear as you ever saw, at prices far below its actual value. Now
the point is this,
WILL YOU BUY MUSLIN UNDERWEAR AT THIS SEASON?
We can sec no good reason why you should not, especially when the
money saving is so apparent. All wc have D say is this. Muslins.
Ucttcr muslins, better trimmings or better styles have at no time been

very freshness is a big inducement to fastidious buyers.

visitor In town yesterday.
One Made Saturday Wns Not Higbly
.Sntislhctory.
Tho new patent trolley, mention of
which was made In, Thursday's Trib
une, was experimented with Saturday
afternoon on a Scranton Railway com
pany car.
The new trolley was. made by tho
Steel Motor company with works nt
Johnstown, this state, and the one used
Saturday was the llrst manufactured.
It Is a curious appearing object when
placed on a car. Its size is three or
four times larger than tho simple trol
ley now In use and the very Intricacy
of the thing Is nn objection. Where In
the old stvle but one Iron pole Is used
the new one has two which diverge
from tho place where it Is attached to
the car until at the wire the poles are
nearly four feet apart. An Iron bat
connects the two and on this Is a
grooved wheel about a foot In diameter
meant to catch the wire and to slide
along the vertical axle according to
the variations of tho wire.
When the trolley files off the vertical
bar catches the wire, preventing the
trolley from swinging upright. By the
use of two ropes the small wheel Is
then moved along the nxle until It
again catches the wire. The trlnl yes
terday was witnessed by Frank Fox,
superintendent of the railway com
pany nnd an agent of the Johnstown
concern. Tho trial was not entirely
satisfactory. From the street car barn
to Penn avenue the trolley jumped off
three times and the man with the two
ropes was kept busy moving the little
wheel. The effort to get a new kind
of trolley Is with the Idea of evading
the costly use of the common trolley
pole, which Is securely patented by the
Genernl Electrlo and Westlnghouse
companies.

The work of tearing down the old
vault of the Scranton Savings bank
was completed Saturday after a week's
hard labor. It took four men four days
to simply remove ihe concrete cap and
this was only effected by chipping It
away piece by piece with sledges and
cold chisels. The massive granite
stones which formed the vault proper
were removed by working them loose
with wedges nnd drills nnd pulling
them from their foundations with a
steam derrick.
The new vault Is to be erected in the
opposite rear corner of the building.
It will bo more modern In construc
tion than the old one, that Is steel will
supplant the stone and concrete In a
great measure, but It will not be uny
stronger or more fire-proof for it Is
quite impossible to Imagine any way
of Improving on the old strong box in
this respect.
Tho new vault will be used solely for
books and tho like. Tho money will
be kept In an eleven-hour Mosler-Cor-less
safe, which will be located In the
center of the new building on a founda
tion of brick and concrete, extending
all the way from tho cellar.
