The time for selling Summer Suits has
come and gone. Only a day or two now and
then fit for light weight clothing. How ri
diculous to put good money into a summer
suit now. It would rust out before you got
a chance to wear it.
"But you must have a Suit."
Here's where we come forward with a
suit offer, seasonable and sensible. We have
placed on sale every suit left over .irom last
fall and winter, and instead of increasing the
price, as trade conditions all over the United
States prompt us to do -so great is our anx
iety to clean out every left over suit that
we offer you choice of a bountiful supply of
elegant patterns at exactly one-quarter off.
And when you're handy, look in the

JERMYN.
The following Is a loiter from Profes
sor W. L. Rogers, the recently elected
principal of tho Jermyn graded schools,
which was published In an afternoon
paper. Tho letter will probahly en
lighten many of tho people in town as
to tho cause of so much talk among the
citizens:
Dear Sir: Knowing your reputation for
fairness, I venture, though a stranger, to
nsk you to allow mo to say a few words
through your paper in self-dofcnso in re
ply to certain, articles reflecting on mo
which have recently appeared In tho Jer
myn items in tho Scranton Republican.
When I learned of tho vacancy In tho
prlnclpalshlp at Jermyn I left an applica
tion with tho secretary and made a per
sonal canvass of the board, as I bcllcvo
any candidate has a right to do. I was
In Jermyn on Tuesday, Aug. 3, and had
good reasons for believing that six of tho
nine members of tho board wcro favora
bio to me. After my departure from tho
town Tuosday afternoon some falso re
ports concerning mo were circulated, and
ns tho result another man was said to bo
elected. This chango In sentiment was
brought about by telling tho Protestant
members of tho board that I nm an Irish
man nnd a Catholic. To tho Catholic
members they said that I am a member
of tho A. P. A. soctoty.
After tho election was found to be Il
legal, I felt that I had a right to contra
dict any falso reports and called again
upon members of tho school board for
that purpose. When tho truth was known
and a second election was held, I was
supported by a majority of tho board and
legally elected. During my canvass I
did not utter ono word to disparage any
other candidate. Neither did I glvo or
promlso to give, cither directly or Indi
rectly, any money or other valuable thing
to any member of tho school board. From
what I know of tho members of the
Jermyn school board, I nm convinced
that no member of tho board could be
Influenced by such methods; nnd think
tho Insinuations of tho Republican cor
respondent nro an Insult which should bo
resented by oven member.
I have submitted testimonials in proof
of my character nnd ability to teach. All
that I now ask of tho peoplo of Jermyn
Is that they will suspend Judgment In this
matter until I havo an opportunity to
prove by my work that their confidence
has not been misplaced.
Very respectfully yours,
W. L. Rogers.
Mr. John Home, who has lived at
the homo of Mr. Fayette Matthews for

HE WAS A RINGER.
Jim WiillneyTook a Cliance at a Human
Bullscyc with Quite Serious
Results.
Two colored gentlemen who make a
ptecarlous living by putting their heads
through holes In canvts screens and per
mitting eager citizens to throw baso bails
nt them, never fall to show signs of fear
when they are confronted by a profes
sional ball tosscr, providing the latter's
Identity Is known. Poor Jim Whitney,
tho onco famous pltchrr or tho Bostons,
who won tho championship of tho Na
tional leaguo In 1SS3, took a chance at
one of theso human, bullseyes one day,
and tho incident caused no end of fun.
Whitney went down to ono of the
beaches near tho Hub enc Sunday, and a
friend Induced him to soa the "head In
tho canvas." Tho colored man, In this
partleular ln&tance, had a head llko a
cannon ball, and It thono llko a glass bct
te, says tho Boston Record. Heartless
individuals, who could't throw a little
bit, but who wero "aching to knock the
coon's block off," fought with ono another
for a chanco to win a cigar by hitting the
mark.
"Every tlmo yer hit tho llvln' head yor
get a .prlzol" yelled tho colored target.
"A good rcegar for ono time, a leet'e
diamond pin for two times, nnd a big
bronusltne front hoi. so on the Back bay
for threo times."
"That's pretty cheap real estate," said
Whitney to his friend. 'I guess I'll take
a shot. Here, give me threo balls, nnd
got the mob to stand aside."
Well, well! Hoi Ho! yelled tho tar
get. "What do you think of that long
legged farmer? He's going to throw them
balls at me. Eh! Oh, ho! I'll bet he
can't hit me In a hundred years."
Whitney, who was a good mimic, thra
ono ball In truly amateurish style, just as
the majoilty of the crowd had been doing
all day. It was with a motion of the arm
that was decidedly girlish, and as the ball
went flvo feet to ono sldo of the negro's
head ho gave vent to a series of guffaws
and Jeers, whllo the crowd laughed de
risively. "You'vo got two more shots, mister,"
said the target; "now don't be nervous
and don't break your arm." Tho negro
was very bold now, and, believing that
tho big pitcher was a countryman, ho
thrust his head far through the hole in
to canvas and waited witn a broad grin
on his face for Jim's next throw. It
enme directly, and this tlmo Jim meant
business. Ho wound himself up in tho
old familiar -nay, and then with nil his
might anl main ho flv a terrific shoot.
The tnrget was in the middle of a wild
roar of laughter when the ball struck him
squarejv on tho top of his pate nnd
knocked him back through the canvas out
of sight. There was a muffled cry of
pain, and then tho head came through
the canvas again.
"Don't let him thrown another!" the
negro cried. "He's a ball player and I
knows It."
The mat who was running tho gamo
said:
"That's right. You c'.n't trow no more
Dis game Is for guys only."
"Well, I won a cigar." said Whitney,
"and I've one more shot."
"Here!" ejaculated the negro, who had
now come forward and was bathing his
bead. "Give htm a box of them cigars
and call It square"
Jim got tho box, and as ho was walk
ing away tho target whispered to tho man
who was running tho garni:
"We'll get square! Those smokes'll kill
him."
