What Lieutenant Muiphy Has to Say
About the Thirteenth Regiment.
Lieutenant Thomas Muiphy, of com
pany C, Thirteenth regiment, Is home
on a leave of absence. Ho speakb in
tho highest tonus of praise of the new
camp at Mlddlctown and reports that
tlie men are lapldly recoveilng fiom
their sony expeilencc In the unhealthy
camps of Viiglnia.
Referring to an Associated Pi ess di
spatch in Satuulay afternoon's papers
to the effect that "the Thliteenth icg
Iment, to a man, is clamoring to bo
musteted out." Lieutenant Murphy
(aid: "That and all other rcport3 of
that character nio a base libel on our
regiment. While It may bo truo that
a majority of the men would prefer
being musteied out to remaining In
the service under the present pros
pects It lb not true that there Is any
geneial clamotlng for dismissal. I can
say for my own company that
there are only three or four men who
nro In favor of asking to be disbanded.
In company B, I am told, a petition
was tlgned bv a majoilty of tho mem
bers asking that tho command bo je
talned in the horviee. Lnst week a
cotporal from a neighboring company
came on c street to secme signatures
to a petition to the president to havo
tho regiment musteied out. He only
escaped being tossed In n blanket by a
fleety exit from tho btreet
"I am not prepated tn say what per
centage of tho regiment Is desiious of
ccmlng homo but I can say that thero
Is mighty small percentage in favor
of asking to be sent home. The gen
eial trend of feeling among olllcers nnd
men is that it 111 behooves a soldier to
expect his supcilors to let him dlicet
Ills own actions. Many ot tlie men of
tho Thliteenth nie anxious to go to
Cuba or on some llko excursion, many
aie anxious to coma home, but only
a very small minority nie expecting
to have their personal wishes In tho
matter considered. The Thirteenth reg
iment is at Camp Meade willing to do
whatever is demanded of It."

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
WILL OPEN TODAY
ESTIMATED THAT 13,000 TUPILS
WILL BE ENROLLED.
During tho Summer All tho Build
ings Havo Been Thoroughly Ren
novated and Repaired nnd Aio In
Tirst class Condition 297 Teach
ers Will bo Engaged In the Thirty
seven Blldlnga and Seven Annexes.
Termlts Must Be Obtained for
Pupils Who Do Not Enroll.
It is estimated that nearly 13,000
pupils will this morning report for
study In tho public rchools ot Scranton.
The number will bo about 700 greater
thnn attended tho opening session at
this time ltibt year.
Tcio vastness of this public school
system of u, city ot tho alze of Scranton
may bo appreciated from tho statement
that the city employs 2J7 teachers, In
cluding the foieo tit the High school,
and has 37 school buildings nnd 7 oc
cupied annexes for overcrowded build
ings. These figures show an averngo
of about 11 pupils per teacher and .TVI
pupils per building, assuming that tho
seven annexes have a capacity of two
avciage-slzed buildings.
Duilng tlia summei vacation all tho
buildings havo been tiioioughly ie
pnlted unci tenovated 15ach pupil
will have n jingle teat, the old sstem
of seating two pupils together having
been abolished In every building. Oth
er Improvements have been made
grndunlly or lecently until now no city
in the country excels Scranton In point
of general equipment, sanitary pre
cautions and other arrangements for
the mental and phjslc.il wolf aio of the
rising generation.
NEW BUILDINGS.
No new buildings are to be opened
tomotrow, although one, No. 3, In tho
Eleventh waid, Is well under way and
will bo ready for occupancy about
Jan. 1 During tho last two j-eais,
however, tho following model n and
well-appointed structures have been
built; Nos. C, In the Eighth vv aid, 10,
Nineteenth wnid; 13, Fifteenth ward;
1", Twentieth ward; 13, Fourteenth
waid; 19, Fouith wnid, 23, Third
wind, and 2S, Thirteenth ward. The
need of even morq facilities Is shown
lu the existence of one annex on the
South Side, two In Petersburg, one on
"ths hill," one In the Noith End and
two on ths West Side.
There will be no confusion thla morn
ing In assigning pupils to their proper
grades, as all the promotions wore
made at tn close of tho spring term
Each pupil knows which grado nnd
room he or he will enter nnd this
knowledge will save the teachers much
tioublc. Duilng this week all pupils
will bo admitted without penults, but
thcieafter peimils must bo seemed at
the olheo of tho supeilntendcnt of
schools in the city hall. This rulo Is
to picvent the overcrowding ot rooms
wheie the enrollments will be system
atized this week.
Some of the buildings will receive In
certain rooms more pupils than they
can accommodate. This Is the case
eveij j ear, however, and the over
oi ow ding will be overcome bj proper
dl3tiibution under Superintendent
Howell's Uliection. The buildings
which will most likely tequlie his at
tention todav and tomorrow aie: No.
14 in the Fifth waid. 11 In the Second
waul; 33 In the Ninth waid, and SG in
the Seventeenth ward.

Evnns, of No. 1R. Miss Amsden Is 111

Wales, where bhe went last summer on
account of ill health. Their places will
be occupied temporal ily by Miss Butkc
and Miss Lulu Leader, respectlvelj'.
Tho office of the secretary of the board
of control will bo open at 7 o'clock this
morning for tho purpose, of receiving
contract blgnatures from teachers who
havo neglected this impottant obliga
tion To comply with the law it is
necessaiv" for a teacher to sign a con
tiact before lie or she can draw a sal
arj Befoie a contract can be signed,
tho teacher must show his or her cor
tiilcate to the secietaiy of the boatd.

A Big Furniture Sale.
Almost n train load of furniture care
fully arranged on the Fouith floor of
the big department store ot Jonas
Long's Sons will attract thousands of
visitors there this week, it being the
II rut annual sale In that department.
Several months ago Mr. Arthur Long,
the resident partner of tho firm, accom
panied by tho furniture buyer, Mr.
Mandcvillc, made a tour of tho great
westein furniture markets. The big
ness of theie purchases attracted vvlde-
sptead attention at that time, and
they were deluged with requests from
different sources to examine Into par
ticular lines, one of tho biggest nnd
best manufacturer ot fine chairs had
a paitlculurly good lino to dispose of
nt a sactlflce, and they aie now a part
of tho gieat stock In tho great store
bought at half their worth and to bo
sold at about the cost of raw materials.
This Is but one ot the several instances
that might bo cited to tell of particular
and unusual purchases that were
made bj' these gentlemen while in tho
west, nnd It is not presuming to say
that no sale of furniture has ever been
held In this section of tho state that
will attract such widespread attention.
The big announcement of tho firm In
this morning's paper will bo read with
intciest by the thousands vho value

of tho big film In placing nt their com
mand the highest class of merchandise
