DEFORE BREAKFAST. )
It tnkes tho little people of this town
to raise money. The manner In which
they succeeded at the homo of Mr. and
Mrs. J. L. Connell on Saturday after
noon Is enough to make the older peo
ple envious. As a result of their efforts
something over $200 will be realized
for the children's ward In the Lack
awanna hospital. Imagine it! "The
Brownies" have every reason to feel
gratified with tho result of their work
during tho past two weeks. Miss Helen
Steven's Is the only "grown up" In the
club, all tho others are children, some
of them being scnrcely more than
babies, but everybody helped to make
this affair a success. Lawrence Con
nell Is secretary and has been one of
the most active.

Heckwlth, Clara Porter, and Gilbert
Edgar; candy, Helen Jones, Harold

nell; pillow table, Carleton Connell,
Dorothy Peck; doll tnble, Natalie
Oladys and Luclle Connell. Edgar Con

which did a rushing business. Miss
Anna McAnulty ntd several young
friends served refreshments. Others
assisting were Florence Porter, Helen
Beckwlth, Mattle Edgar, Helen Simp

Homer Price..
It Is probable that this time the

H. H. WINTERS
INSTANTLY KILLED

HIS HANDS VERY BADLY BURNED
.11 r. Winters Wns Vice-President of
Dniunorc Electric Light, llcnl nnd
Power Compnnv nnd Wns Assisting
Lliicmiin Armtirust to Fix u Dolec
tlvn Lump When tho Accident Oc
curred-W'iis n Son ot tlio Lute Dr.
Peter Winters.
H. H. Winters, vice-president of the
Dunmorc Electric Light, Hent and
Power company, was instantly killed
in Dunmore Saturday .evening by elec
tricity. Thirty-five hundred volts of
the electric lluld, about four times tho
voltage necessary to kill, struck him
lifeless while he wns nlding one of the
company's linemen to repair a faulty
circuit.
While talking with a group of friends
In the postolllce, Mr. Winters was told
by Patrolman Bulger that the nrc lamp
In fiont of Murphy's hotel was out und
was affecting the service of other
lamps on the circuit. Mr. Winters
sought Lineman John Armbrust and
went with the latter to fix tho defective
lamp.
Armbrust climbed the pule nnd low
ered tho lamp. He cautioned Mr.
Winters to be careful In handling tho
mechanism of the lamp nnd was mak
ing his way down the pole when Mr.
Winters was heard to groan und then
fell lifeless.
GRASPED THE CARBONS.
He had grasped the two carbons In
the lnmp, completing a deadly circuit,
which was made more deadly by the
contact of his feet on the street cur
rails.
The body wns carried Into the hotel
nnd, Dr. Frank Winters, the unfortu
nnte man's brother, summoned. While
culls were hurriedly sent to Drs. Mur
phy, Garvey and Brown, Dr. Winters
pronounced his brother dead. The hope
that he could be resuscitated led tho
four physicians and Frank E. AVage,
general manager of the company, to
work over tho body for nn hour and a
half. Artificial respiration and other
means were employed, but to no avail.
He had been killed In the fraction of
a second by an abnormal voltage of
;!,noo.
The llosh of each hand had been bad
ly burned by the current. Mr. Winters
was familiar with tho construction of
arc lamps and it is presumed he'uccl
dentally came In contact with positive
und negative carbons or had mistaken
ly supposed ho had shut off the current
by means of a switch In the top of the
lump.
PROMINENT YOUNG MAN.
Mr. Winters was 2.1 years old, nnd
one of the prominent young business
men of the borough. He was a son of
Dr. Peter AVInters, deceased, and wus
soon to bo married. On the death of
his father he Inherited over $15,000. He
was a member of the Patriotic Order
Sons of America, Knights of Malta and
Junior Order United American Me
chanics. One year ago he was elected
borough auditor and had two years to
serve In that office.
The directors of the company will
take nctlon on Mr. AVInters' death nt
their regular meeting this evening.
The funeral will be held tomorrow nf
ternoon nt the house on Blnkely street.
SALARIES MAY BE INCREASED.
Proposition Will Ho Considered nt
Hoard of Control .Heeling.
A matter of great Interest to city
teachers, a proposition to Increase their
salaries, will be discussed und probably
decided at this evening's regular meet
ing of the board of control. Whatever
net Ion Is tnken will be In continuation
of Saturduy evening's meeting of the
tenchers' committee, which debated the
subject at length.
At the committee meeting nn Increase
of 10 per cent. In salaries and nn addi
tion of ten teachers to the number ul
reudy employed, wns suggested. It
was argued that the pay of teachers
In Scranton Is lower than in any other
city In the state, but that tho Increased
assessment gave opportunity for re
form. Normal school graduates are
now paid $2." per month for the first
year and those holding, in addition,
high school graduation certificates re
ceive $28 during the Ilrst year.
Last year's estimate for teachers' pay
wus $112,000, exclusive of the high nnd
training school. The estimate for 1S9S
Is $lt;."),000. A part of the proposed In
crease Is to be for ten udditioiial teach
ers It Is by no means certuln that the
changes, which are to be recommended
by the teachers' committee tonight will
meet with Immediate approval by the
board. Several members contend the
proposed increase is suggested by polit
ical patronnge and not by necessity.

Best BolTee and Tea House
ill America.
history of the finding of this duot seems
like a fairy tale. It was In the spring
of '02, on Kemer Btrnsse In Stuttgart,
Germany, that two young men accl
dentaty found a deserted music studio.
Heaps of strny pages of manuscript
lay scattered on the floor, half hidden
by dust, relics ot Inkpots and cobwebs.
Turning somo ot the sheets that lny In
a pile, with, tho toe of his boot, ono of
the young men noticed a peculiarly
decorated sheet of music.
Picking it up and humming tho mel
ody, ho found that he had unearthed
a wonderful piece of music. Ho
searched through the room till the last
scrap was found. This music was the.
first printed edition of Burgmeln's bea-
tlful duet. It wns published long ago
by the eelebrnted Itnllnn publisher,
Rlcordl, at Milan. After seven years
desire Mr. Hemberger has been able to
place this really wonderful piece ot
music before the public. It Is written
In four numbers. Tho first number be
ing a serenade of Intensely amorous
conception, It Is followed by a mid
night scene with the quaint striking of
tho Itnllnn chimes nnd Is sweet und
soft, and Is sonorously portrayed by the
reed Instrument.
The second number Is a love duet
that language cannot describe. The
third Is the betrothal ball or engage
ment repetition In which every dance
of tho long nco is Illustrated. The
fourth is the nuptial earnlvnl and
Illustrated the different ballets of
masques, such ns Columbines, Panta
loons, Pollchenello und the Cavalier of
Captain Facasse. Altogether It Is the
most beautiful composition of Its kind
that has been written.

KIMBALL
PIANO

Great musicians use Klmballs. Th
testimony ot musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $2,000 for each
performance must bo accepted as hav
ing weight. They, at least, escape tha
charge ot not knowing what they aro
talking about. Lillian Nordlca says:
"Tho more I use my Kimball piano the
better I like It." Jean Da Reszke cays:
"VTo have concluded to purchase Kim
ball pianos for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa claims: "The Kimball
piano is first-clas3 In every respect."
Somo of tho most beautiful cases In
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
here. I have some fine largo pianos,
all colors, from J2C0 to $350, on easy
terms, and a term of lessons free.
