A BOLD STROKE OF

International Correspondence Schools
Have n Private Car.
SCRANTON COMPANY'S NOVEL PLAN
The Car Has .Inst lloon lunucnrntcit
in Wilmington, Whcro It Win Hull t
by tlio Jackson & Nhnrp Compnny,
nnd Will Do Sent with tlio Schools'
Heprcioiitnllros to I.nrRO Cities All
Ovor tlio Country"-'!'" Forestall
I'rniiilulrnt Correspondcnco Schools
A bold stroke ot enterprise has been
made by the International Correspond
ence Schools of this city In the pur
chase of n handsome prlvtit'j cur to lie
uod In Innro cities In exhibiting nnd
forwarding the schools' plan ot Instruc
tion. The car was Inaugurated Tues
day in Wilmington. Del., at the works
ot the builders, the Jnekson & Sharp
Car Manufaetuting company. Through.
the courtesy of the olllcers of the Col
liery Fnglneer company, which owns
th International schools, n Tribune re
porter Inspected the ear and attcndeJ
Its Inauguration.
It Is proposed to send tlio cat with
a corps of representatives to cities
wher- nre situated large manufactur
ing plants. Rclng equipped with the
text liooks, Instruction papers and ex
hibits Illustrative of the schools' work,
the car will afford a complete means
of satisfying employers ot labor as to
the efficacy ot the International Cor
respondence svstoms and they will
readily grant permission for the at
taches with the car to solicit In tho
shops for the enrollment of students.
The car will also afford an opportunity
for students themselves to Inspect the
work.
R. J. Foster, president of the schools,
will be In chargo of the ear and its
work on the Initial trip. His assistant
will be John G. Forsvth, of Lancaster,
who will be in immediate charge of the
corps of six solicitors. Mr. Foster was
in Wilmington Tuesday, as was secre
tary Stanley V. Allen, of this city, nnd
Norman Foster, manager of the Phil
adelphia territory, nnd a brother of the
president and the treasurer of the com
pany. The .attaches with the car are
Hugh F. McGrann. of Lancaster: Geo.
1.. Garrlgues, of Philadelphia; C. w.
Cleaver, of Philadelphia, and Mr. Hoyt,
of Philadelphia. Two others will bo
added to the corps befcue the ear starts
on the first tilp. which will likely be
to Boston or Cleveland. It will be un
der orders from the Scranton office.
PRACTICAL BEGINNING.
Imitntlons had been sent to mem
bers of the large manufacturing llrms
of Wilmington to Inspect the car Tues
day afternoon and many of them re
sponded. The car had been previously
equipped v lth sampl-s of the books and
papers used hv Hie schools and these
wero explained to the caller.?. Thus at
the outset the car was made to serve
Its business purpose as there had been
for several days at work la Wilmington
a permanent cores of solicitor under
the direction of Norman Foster. The
corps will remain there several weeks
after the departuie of tlm car.
Following Is a minute description of
the car. somewhat technical, perhaps,
but none the less calculated to be un
derstood by the lay as well as the me
chanical mind:
The length of the body is r.0 feet
and the width 9 feet nnd 8 Inches over
the sllKs. The Interior is divided into
compartments as follows: First is. a
reception room, 18 feet long, furnished
in quartered oak nnd fitted with book
cases, center table, wicker chairs with
cushions, couch, carpet, curtains, etc.
There are four sleeping sections of
upper and lower berths, eight In all,
occupying 12 feet and C Inches of the
length, giving sleeping accommoda
tions for eight persons. Fach bed is
fitted with mattress, pillows, blankets,
and the other necessary bedding. The
seats forming the lower berths nre
covered with plush and are fitted with
headrests. Tables nre provided to lit
between the seats for holding books,
writing materials, etc.
The storage room Is 14 feet and G In
dies long and Is lltted in baggage car
style for the storage of books. There
aie two lockers In this room, one for
clothing and the other for books and
supplies.
At the extreme end of the car there
Is a saloon with the usual tixtures and
containing also a mnrble-top wush
stnnd, water tank, ice cooler, and oth
er toilet conveniences. Opposite the
saloon Is a Raker hot-water heater
and a locker for storing tables, screens,
linen, etc.
The platform at the reception end
of the cur Is fitted with bronze hand
railings, brake wheel nnd step nos
ings, while the platform nnd steps nre
covered with corrugated rubber all ot
the legular Pullman style. The lamps
nnd tilmmlngs throughout are of pol
ished bronze; the celling is ot hand
somely decornted quartered oak veneer.
The deck sashes uro hung on rnchets
and ate protected on the outside by
brass wire screens. Double thick glass
has been used In the sashes. All of the
windows arc lltted with curtulns.
NO F.XPKNSF. SPAUF.D.
Great pains have been taken mid
no expense spared to make the exterior
of the car as correspondingly attrac
tive as Its Interior. It Is painted a
"Hrewster green," the title given to the
long-time fashionable wagon color, nnd
Is decorated and lettered with gold
leaf. On the panels between the wln-

The car Is mounted on a set of King
patent trucks which uro designed to
prevent any oscillation or the com
munication of any Jar on account of
Imperfect roadbed to the body of tho
car.
Scranton interests nre represented
In the mechanical equipment by the
use of wheels of the Roles pattern fitted
with Lntrobe tires. The couplers nnd
buffers nre of the Jnnney type, and,
In addition to the hand brnke.s, the
car Is lltted with the Westlnghouso
fixtures.
In addition to the hot water system
of heating there Is the Commlngler
system for heating by steam while in
transit.
Along the top of each side of the
car, and shaded in color Is the In
scription "Established 1801 Industrial
Science Taught by Mall Established
1891." On the body beneath tho win
dows on cither .side Is lettered "In
ternational Correspondence Schools,
Scranton, Pa," something which will
be read In many of the larger cities
throughout the country, niiu which
guarantees a good advertisement for
this city. The trucks and gear nre
painted buff and tho wheels red.
On either side of the door nt. the
storage end of the enr is lettered In
gilt the following: "Education by Mali
In Locomotive Engineering, Civil En
gineering, Municipal Engineering, Eng
lish Branches," and "Education by
Mail In Mechnnlcal Engineering. Me
chanical Drawing, Railroad Engineer
ing. Electrical Engineering, Hydraulic
Engineering."
SOME GOOD REASONS.
Scrnntonlans could better appreciate
the reasons for the special car idea
and Its great expense If they compre
hended the enormity of the Interna
tional schools, their ubsolute reliabil
ity unci the fact that certain large
publishing houses have recently In
augurated so-called correspondence
systems and that the Scranton concern
hopes by means of the car to forestall
some of the fraud and Injury the publi
cation schools are working upon sus
ceptible mechanics and young men.
It hns cost the International schools
over $200,000 for the preparation nnd
writing of Instruction papers, exclusive
of the cost of printing and publishing.
There has been Invested In the busi
ness over three-quarters of a million
dollars. Its operation requires the em
ployment of over 400 employes, exclu
sive of nearly 100 solicitors and agents.
It i.s admitted by the officers that
the best way to secure a technical ed
ucation Is to take a course In a regu-'
lar technical college but the claim is
made that it Is not possible for busy
men to attend colleges. To 111! the
place of these, the International system
Is not Intended, but there nre some
respects In which the International
method is superior to all other sys
tems. The International Correspondence
schools were first to give Instruction
by correspondence In the theories of
the trades and engineering professions,
and have done more within the last
five years to benefit miners, mechan
ics and others in need of technical
Instruction than any other education
al Institution. The system of instruc
tion thus originated has developed into
the largest technical school In the
world, has overcome the difllcultten
which nttend those classes In their
efforts to educate themselves at night
school or by home study wlUi text
books, has placed technical education
within the reach of thousands who
would otherwise have remnincd in
Ignorance of the theories of their
trades, and hns helped hundreds to be
come superintendents, foremen, drafts
men, engineer, etc., who, without It,
would never have obtained such posi
tions. Tho claim Is made by the Interna
tional schools that quite recently sev
eral thousand workmen have been
hoodwinked in their enrollment as stu
dents with correspondence schools
which cannot prove that they ure
equipped to give n complete course in
nny one department of study. This
claim Is made openly by the Scranton
schools nnd to emphasize It ami give it
more publicity Is a part of the car
plan. Wherever the car gore, leading
manufactures, worklngmen and pros
pective students will have shown to
them the Scranton schools' actual
equipment. The challenge to other
correspondence schools nnd publishing
houses to show anything of tho kind
will be spread broadcast.
INSPECTION SOLICITED.
A circular letter will be forwarded
In advance of the car to leading man
ufuetureiK and educntors In the cities
to be visited.
One of the well-known personnges
about the car Is the colored porter,
John William Jackson, of this city,
who Is resplendent In a handsome dark
blue uniform trimmed with gold braid.
WANTED TO BE PUNISHED.
Cnrboiidnlo Lad Waived tho l'or
ninlity of Being Indicted.
Seventeen-year-old John Woelker, of
Carboudale, was arrested last week for
stealing n pair of boats from John Sea
mans, and committed to the county
Jail by Alderman S. S. Jones.
Yesterday the lad, at his own re
quest, was brought before court nnd
when he secured nn audience with
Judge Archbnld stated that he was
guilty and was ready to take conse
quences of his crime without putting
tho court to a lot of additional ex
pense. Judge Archbald questioned him close
ly to ascertain If he realized the full
weight of the step he was taking, and
satisfying himself that he did, com
mitted him to the Huntington Indus
trial Reformatory.
Woelkers' caso nnd not been before
the grand Jury, and before he could bo
Imprisoned It was necessary for him
to formnlly wnlvo the finding or nn In

Alphonso Granldlncyttl, 'the dlmlnl

charged with attempt to kill and who
gave his bondsman, Vlto Qarardl, a

again yesterday before Judge Archbald
praying to bo released on ball.

In these days of enforced economy,
It should bo. a pleasure to any woman
to learn how she can save the cost of
n new gown for herself and suit for the
little one, or can mnke her husband's
faded clothing look like new. Diamond
Dyes, which nre prepared especially
for home use, will do all this. They
are so simple and easy to use that even
a child can get bright nnd beautiful
colors by following the directions on
each package.
There is no need of soiling the hands
with Diamond Dyes; Just lift nnd stir
the goods with two sticks while In tho
dye bath, and one will not get any
stains or spots.
In coloring dresses, coats, nnd nil
large articles, to get a full and satis
factory color, It Is absolutely neces
sary to have a special dye for cotton
goods and a different dye for woolen
goods. This is clone In Diamond Dyes,
nnd before buying dyes, one should
know whether the article to be colored
Is cotton or wool, and get the proper
dye. Do not buy dyes that claim to
color everything, for their use will re

Judge Archbnld was moved to com
passion and when District Attorney
Jiones nodded hh ncquhveonse. hi
honor said. "Very well, $300." It de
veloped, however, that the man who
was offering himself as bondsmnp
did not have the deed of his property
on record and the court would not hear
to his being accepted.
Attorney Boyle called after Judge
Archbnld as he was leaving the bench:
"He savs he will record tho deed In

"Very good, bring the prisoner around
In the morning," and the Judge con
tinued on his way to his chambers.

EXHIBITION OP ANTIQUES.
Somo ol the Interesting Things to Do
Seen nt Universalis! Church.
Those who like to look back now and
then to the days of old and who were
present nt the Unlversallst church Inst
evening enjoyed a treat long to be re
membered. The little chapei was fair
ly transformed Into a treasure house.
Everywhere was the flavor of the days
long gone. One center of Interest was
an old lire place with crane, andirons,
tongs and other things In keeping. On
the shelf were old lanterns, candle
sticks, candle molds, dipper, gourd,
etc.
A long table reaching nearly across
the chapel was loaded with relics.
Among .them hand-spun linen and
blankets, old garments and needle
work, deeds, books, pewter, china nnd
brassware, coins, pictures, bullet molds,
powder horns and swords. Among
things not old but Interesting were a
marine spy glass and minerals from
various parts of the world. The chief
attraction was no doubt the spinning.
Mrs. F. E. Loomis nnd Mrs. Mary
Champlin kept the large wool wheels
humming, and Mrs. P. T, Collins quiet
ly spun flax on the small wheel. The
spinning is really a great rarity In
this day an'd generation, and the fly
ing wheels furnish a great deal of
food for thought and imagination.
Light refreshments were served nnd
the evening was one of much enjoy
ment. The exhibition will be contin
ued this afternoon and evening.
