The question that Is now agitating the minds of the patriotic people is where can I spend nn enjoyablo Fourth? The answer that Is most ap propriate to this Is Laurel Hill park. The Holy Cioss congregation have en eased the park for the Fourth and are making preparations to give a most enjoyablo time to oil who attend, The uommlttees In charge have been working vigorously and their tedious work will be appreciated on that day. The ,Fourth t'enerally furnishes us n. very hot day, and no doubt the heat will be a great factor In Increasing tho crowds at tho park. Jt Is estimated to be one of ths places, almost within tho city limits, where the swelterlnc sun can be defied Tho ground have recently bpen Im proved with many flower beds, and beautiful rosos throughout tho heavily shaded park, and with the street car facilities any one is enabled to return home without fCar of being crushed or jarred.' The committee in charge have engaged the Lawronco full or chestra for the day to furnish ilanco music, and this alone la an Inducement to the lovew of tha dance. JJASE BALL,. Tho very hett bare ball clubs in the city hstve been engaged to play, nnd thuy will furnish a game In tho morn ing and one in the afternoon. A complete programmo of games have been arranged nnd a choir of 00 children, under tho direction of Prof. Ilaydn Evans, will give a concert in the evening. Admission to the park will bo 25 cents; children, 15 cunts, m BANK DECLARED A DIVIDEND. Action of Hoard of Directors of the Mercliuuti nnd Mechanics, The board of directors of the Mer- Mi urn M m lose chants' and Mechanics' bank held a meeting yesterday and declared a semi annual dividend of 3 per cent, nnd In creased the surplus from $100,000 to $l:'5,000. The last six months' business showed a most gratifying increase. The finance committee of tho board of control made arrangements with tho bank yesterday to borrow $18,000 to pay the salaries of teachers, officers and Janitors employed by the district. Tho board began to pay these yesterday for Juno services: MAJOR CAMERON IS HERE. Ills Vltlt I Purely of n Soelnl Nature. The presence In the city yesterday of Major Simon B. Cameron, of the Third brigade of the Pennsylvania Na tional Guard, gave rlso to the report that he was here to conduct the mus tering In of tho proposed reorganized Thirteenth regiment. His visit was n. purely social one as tho guest of Major W. S. Millar, Third brigade inspector. Major Cameron will bo here Tuesday, as has been announced, to do the mus tering. He will then be accompanied by Dr. George Halberstndt, major and surgeon of General Gobln's old staff. Major Cameron camo here from Wllkes-Barro and had lunch with Major Miliar at the Hotel Jerinyn. He was in tho city for only a few hours. From hlfl visit it developed that Major Millar, Major Cameron, Major Halber stadt and the other mcmbois of Gen eral Gobln's old staff would continue to serve as brigade staff officers at least until General Gobln's successor Is appointed. Most of them, if not all, will likely be re-appolnted. Major Millar, howver, will resign as biigade inspector. He may accept the captaincy of Company B, which would give him better assurance of being ac cepted as a commissioned officer in tho event of a third call. The reorganized Thirteenth will consist of eight companies, four from Scranton and one each from Hones dale, Easton, Allcntown and Strouds burg. m PAUL B0YNT0N AT LAKE ARIEL.

The examination of witnesses was conducted without anything out of the ordinary. A disagreement occur red between Commissioners Lewis and Duggan on a question and it will be certified to court this morning for a ruling. The question was asked of a witness named William Williams whether or not he was registered. It was object ed to by the attorneys for the respon dent and the objection was sustained by Mr. Duggan "on the ground that the registry list of the district was the best evidence. Mr. Lewis was In favor of permitting the question to bo asked of witnesses whose names were nearly alike, so that they could bo propeily identified.

The Nagle Bammerlln Balloon com pany, cf Mansfield, O., has In Its em ploy some of the most dailng aeronauts In the world, and It Is gratifying to note that, notwithstanding the enormous expense attached thereto, the Caledon ians of this city have seemed, through their agency, one of the most thrilling attractions for their games at tho Driv ing park July 4th ever witnessed In this section.

It may seem hard to awaken shoe buying enthusiasm In hot weather, but citizens utwavs are quick to take ad vantage of legitimate reductions in price on (.tandard footwear. The open ing of the saio of tho Martin stock of Bochester shoes yesterday morning ful ly proved that when an opportunity such as this big purchase of ours made possible is offered, tho response will be quick and decided. Such bargains and such selling always go together. Half prices on seasonable shoes are not the rule of every-day selling, nnd the pub lic knows when to grasp tho chanco to own them at tho values, The 5 Brother. REVENUE STAMPS IN GREAT DEMAND Not Enough 1n Scranton to Meet the Call (or Tbem. ALL THE BMALLEB DENOMINA TIONS OF BOTH PROPRIETARY AND DOCUMENTARY STAMPS HAVE BEEN SOLD - SOME PER SONS WILL USE STAMPS OF GREATER DENOMINATION THAN THE WAR ACT DEMANDS, BUT A FEW WILL TAKE CHANCES. So great was the rush for war reve nue stamps at Collector Penman's office early this week that yesterday, when most of the provisions of the new act went Into effect, few documentary or proprietary stomps could be ob tained. No documentary stamps of small de nominations survived the rush of the early week and all the proprietary stamps of most useful denominations were sold during the same period. Of the proprietary stamps all the V4 nnd U-cent denominations were sold, leav ing on hand only a few &, 1, 2 and 4 cent. Nearly all of these were dis posed of when the office closed last night. The railroad, express and telegraph companies snapped up all the 1-cent documentary stamps several days ago; In fact, almost as fast as they were Issued by the government. In the Scranton revenue office only 1-dollar, B-dollar, 10-dollar, etc., documentary stamps remain for sale. . CAME IN SWARMS. Druggists and others who were slow in providing themselves with the Vs and U-cent proprietary stamps in ad vance were In the revenue office yes terday In swarms trying to figure how cheaply they could make up for their tardiness In purchases that must he made. Many of them bought , 1 and 2-cent stamps with tho purpose of using them and pasting from U to fc cent more than the law demands on each sale rather than violate the law or close up shop. How soon this lack of stamps will be relieved, Collector Penman does not know. Several days ago he kept the wires hot telllns the treasury depart ment he already had orders for ten times more stamps thnn had been sent him. He finally received telegraphic word that a full supply would reach him Thursday. The supply .has failed to materialize, however. Scores of per sons who apply personally or by letter asking what they shall do if tho gov ernment doesn't furnish stamps with which they may comply with the law, can be given no definite answer ex cepting one that postage stamps can not be used as a substitute. Most of these inquirers openly said they would sell goods Just the same and take chances on the government's unwill ingness to prosecute them. This con dition of affairs, It Is believed, cannot last looser than a few days at most. In reference to postage stamps: They are not "postage" stamps if beating the "I. R." imprint, meaning "Internal revenue." That makes them revenue stamps. 4 AT REVENUE OFFICE ONLY. They are Issued only at the revenue oflice and are simply a makeshift until such time as tho treasury engraving and printing bureau can catch up with orders. The postofllce department has relieved the engraving and printing bureau further by Issuing to it news paper periodical stamps of from $1 up wards for use as documentary stamps. According to the understanding of the question among subordinate reve nue officials railroad, express and tele graph offices are supposed to keep documentary stamps on hand for use by patrons. Who shall pay the reve nue is a matter to bo settled between tho companies and tho patron. In other words, It Is not required of a per son to. provide himself with the neces sary stamp or stamps before entering a railroad, express or telegraph office to do business. The consignor has ground for demanding that the stamp shall be furnished by the company. Who shall pay for It, however, is an other question. Thus far the patron has been bearing the expense. The government has arranged a bank-check stamp system which will greatly facilitate the business of banks and their patrons by furnishing a bank note check bearing an engraved in ternal revenue documentary stamp. These checks are to be printed In des ignated government printing establish ments in ten cities, Atlanta, Boston, Galveston, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Chi cago, St. Louis, New York, San Fran cisco and Tacoma. A government hank check agent has been established in each of those cities from whom inter nal revenue collectors can order bound bank-check books for banks or indi viduals. BANKS AVILL ORDER THEM. Banks will take advantage of this facility and order the books, giving them to depositors as at present but charging 2 cents for each check In the book. This will largely obviate the an noyance of affixing gummed stamps. Lawyers who had not taken advant age of the early sale of proprietary stamps and secured supplies of the smaller denominations were yesterday put to the expense of using stamps of larger denominations than Is required by the war act. This was Illustrated In tho visit of an attorney to the reve nue office. He had with him two mort gages which were to be recorded and on each of which a 73-cent stamp was required. All stamps of that and lesser denominations had been sold and he was required to put a 1-dollar stamp on each document. ILLE0AL LIQUOR SELLING. Two Arrests in Olyplinnt nn Com plnlnt ol C. W. Trnvor. C W. Traver, the liquor traffic re former, caused two more arrests yes. terduy. From Alderman Kasson he ob tained warrants on which Martin Mc Andrew and Joseph Kelly, both of Oly pliant, were arrested for selling with out license. Each defendant waived a hearing and entered ball in the sum of $500 before Justice of the Peace Cummings, of Olyphant. FENDER SAVED (URL'S LIFE. Was Hun Down by n Trolley Car on North Math Avenue. A fender on one of the Olyphant cars of tho Scranton Traction company taved the life of tho 5-year-old daugh ter of Thomas Williams, of North Scranton, yeHterday morning. The little elrl attempted to cross North Main avenue at Dean streot In front of tho moving trolley car nnd was run down. As quickly ns possible the tnolorman stopped the car nnd found the glil restlnt' safely in thcr basket of tho fender. She hsd sustained some bruises, but otherwise was uninjured. WAR REVENUE LAW.'

Patrolman John Hawks, of the police department, was by order of Mayor Bailey removed from his beat on Penn avenue yesterday and Informed that his resignation, submitted several weeks ago and to take effect July 1, would be enforced. Hawks' removal by Mayor Bnlley some time ago was secured by Select Councilman Wade M. Finn. Hawks' friends combatted the removal with such vigor In councils that Its Im mediate effect was not Insisted upon. According to Hawks, there followed n conference In which he, his father, Finn and the mayor participated, the result being an agreement that If Hawks presented his resignation, to take effect July 1, his retirement would not be Insisted upon. Ik" was given to understand, he says, that the resig nation would be pigeon-holed and not brought to light.. With this understanding Hawks con tinued his "regular patrol turns and yesterday at noon resumed what had been his recent day beat on Penn ave nue. At 2 o'clock Mayor Bailey di rected Mounted Officer Dyer to remind Hawks that he was no longer a police patrolman and to relinquish his beat and deliver his equipments nt police headquarters. Hawks complied with the request. Later he made no con cealment of his purpose to make fur fly In high places for what he alleges was a bunco game in inducing him to resign. Mayor Bailey and some of those near to him must have known that the re sult was to be the patrolman's retire ment, for several persons have been recommended and considered for the place he leaves vacant. The muss yes terday put his honor In no condition of body or mlnu to haggla long over an appointee. Ho shut off all lobby ing by selecting Richard Thomas, a special officer, for the place. He will be the man if his honor does not ex ercise his prerogative of changing his mind. - GAMES ON JULY FOURTH. 'I ho Town Is Talking About the Ex hibltlons In Athletic I'nrk.
