Enoch Page, said to bo the oldest Scran
ton llreman In point of active service, has
resigned. Ho was a member ot tho depart
mont practically from Its Inception and
has for many years been one of tho Nay
Aug comipany. Ho was once chief engi
neer. The editor of The Tribune has received
the following from a well known resident
of Green Ridge, who gives an interesting
leeord of one bicycle for six mouths:
Kdltor Scranton Tribune.
Dear Sir. The following actual retool
of a bicycle for six months, from April
37 to Oct, 10, may bo of Interest to somo
of your readers. The owner of this blcy
clo lives in Green Illdgo nnd uses It to go
to and from his olllce in the city, return
ing home for lunch.
The "ti weeks contain, ot course, 3oG
working days. On 12T of these the bicycle
was used, 13 were lalny and on Id no tid
ing was done on account of absence, or
repairs to wheel. It will be seen that
only one day In ten was rainy during tho
entlrt. six months,
In dollars and cents the result was as
follows:
fno car fares paved, at uc. each $Xi IK)
Less repairs and supplies 1 C3
Net e-avlng $20 S3
In making these WW trips Gf7 miles were
ridden, and during the six months a total
of 1.3S0 miles. Thus the wheel was used
Just as much for pleasure and other pur
poses as for going to and from the olllce.
A considerable saving was effected In
trips around tho city and elsewhere, but
no account has been keipt of this, liut a
saving of ut least 20 minutes per day lu
time Is worth remembering.
Taking tho total number of miles the
cost for repairs hns been nlmost exactly
one-thild of one cent per mile.
While tho season for riding Is usually a.
little longer than six months, yet tires
and other larecr repairs, which are sure
to come, will offset thnt and ?:'0 may be
taken as very closo to tho annual nit Je
suits, If this Is correct, It would be
cheaper to pay cor fares than to buy ,i
5100 wheel. It would take six years to
pay tho cost and Interest and It Is not at
all probable that the wheel could bo rid.
den that long.
The wheel used by the writer "ost J3J
last season, has earned Its full value and
oil repairs and Is good for another season.
Yours truly, "Green llldge."

EDITH NORTON'S SUCCESS.
I, urge Audience Hears Her in V
M.
C. A. Hull.
One of tho largest audiences thnt
ever assembled In Young Men's Chris
tian association hall ' crowded It last
evening at the opening entertainment
of the standard course. In many re
spects this great attendance was a
tribute to a charming and. talented
young townswomnn, Miss Edith Nor
ton, who was thus heard In her pro
fessional career for the first time In
her home city.
It was a warm and enthuslastlegreet
lng thnt was given ns the fair, white
robed figure advanced to the footlights.
Nature has been lavish to Miss Nor
ton, not only In her gifts of mind and
Interpretation, but In personal appear
ance, and her friends were proud to
accord hearty recognition of her tal
ents and grace. Her first number was
that delightful sketch of H, C. Bunner,
"A Sisterly Scheme." She also recited
the famous heart-breaking Scene I,
Act IV, from King John, a number of
fuvorltes by Riley and Field. Her se
lections were all of a high literary
order and out of the beaten track, and
her encores, which were many, gave
evidence of rare taste.
As a reader It Is no wonder that Miss
Norton already at the beginning of her
career holds a high place nnd Is in de
mand by entertainment bureaus of re
pute. "While In her popular selections,
notably juvenile Impersonations, she
is a decided success, she also displays
much dramatic ability in the realms of
tragedy.
The Park sisters, who are great fa
vorites wherever heard, gave a delight
ful entertainment. They are wonder
fully versatile, being equally facile
with cornet, mandolin, guitar, piano,
zither and even trombone. Their cor
net work Is especially refined and
graceful, while Miss Anna Park Is par
ticularly proficient with the zither,
evoking a lovely singing tone seldom
heard. It is to be hoped that the
Young Men's Christian association
management will secure the entire com
bination for a return date.
KEYSTONE CLUB MEETS.

Site.
J. W. L. Brock, of Hudderslleld, York
shire, Englnnd, famous for It woolen
manufactories, is in this city for the
purpose ot establishing a woolen mill
here. Mr. Brock arrived two weeks
ago, and has been actively engaged In
Inspecting sites for the large building,
which will be erected.
Mr. Brock has performed his duties
quietly, avoiding tho bluster sugges
tive of "fake" enterprises, and today
he expects to close certain negotlntlona
which will permit beginning of building
operations by Nov. 1. He was attract
ed here by cheap fuel and plentiful
supply of laor. Three sites are under
consideration, one of which Is on the
West Side, and Is being advanced by
the board of trade of that locality. A
definite selection mny be made today.
The mill, Mr. Brock promises, will
.furnish employment to 300 hands.
Nothing but the best woolen goods will
be manufactured. When seen last eve
ning nt the Hotel Jermyn, where Mr,
Brock hns engaged rooms, he showed
letters from the largest woolen goods
firms of Philadelphia and New York,
offering him every encouragement In
the establishment of a mill here and
promising to patronize the new con
cern. The reason for tills encouragement
Mr. Brock pointed out, Is that the
firms mentioned have- been staunch
customers of the Hudderslleld mills,
which have acquired a world-wide rep
utation for first class goods. The Ding
ley bill placed so great n tariff on the
goods that competition with American
manufacturers was Impossible. The
Huddonsfleld people then conceived th
Idea of establishing a mill In this coun
try. Mr. Brock was entrusted with the
mission.
