The Thirteenth regiment Is now on the eve of wholesale changes In the personnel of tho staff nnd lino oincers on account of the appointment mado hy Governor Hastings due to the re signation of Lieutenant Colonel Mattes.

Davis, now acting regimental adju tant, to be first lieutenant of F; and First Sergeant William S. Freeman to succoed Second Lieutenant Davis. Thcso promotions, though, with the ex ception of Major Stlllwell's case, all take place In one company nnd will produce some radical changes In the order of seniority umong the different company commanders of the regiment. PW3PARING FOR TRIP. There Is little else talked of now In camp besides tho contemplated trip to Philadelphia next week, and to the result nnd effect to be then produced all things aro at present directed. The battalion drills for the past few after noons have chiefly consisted of prac tice In marching in company front which will bo principally used on ac count of tho fine, wide streets of the Quaker City. The Eighth Pennsylvania has been having battalion drills to the accompaniment of the band, so as to accustom the men to not only march at the regulation rate of one hundred nnd twenty steps to the minute, but also to sustain that cadence for any length of time, nnd over any kind of ground. Tills nfternoon the battalion drills of the Thirteenth were enlivened We pay express both ways, i. e.-: we pay when we send; if not suited, we pay when you send back. Studies in Black Judging by the demand across our counters and that's a safe way BLACK in dress fabrics is to emphasize this season, it's pop ularity of last Fall. Justly so. It has immense advantage of almost universal "becomingness", al most universal suitability, great servicability, and, as exemplified in this great collection, undoubted novelty and beauty. Perfect taste, quiet richness and tremendous effectiveness character ize black fabrics. Three fourths of ours are imported, and it is when colors is denied that the freshness and originality of French designing is best demonstrated; Novelty, novelty, a new effect, a new beauty in every piece you examine.

Wilkes-Barre women appreciate such gloves for a dollar and we think Scranton women will too, for you may choose a certain well known brand at three fourths more to compare them with.

ISAAC LONG, ?U and 7ft I'ubllo Square, W1LKE3-UAIUIE, PA. by the preseneo of a part of the drum corps, which beat a lively step and put tho boyB on their mettle. This Is simply a carrying out of the Ideas of Major General Young, of tho First division, who Is nn enthusiast on the question of regulating military exercises by music. A short time ago he Issued orders to the effect that tho "settlnr up exercises" of the morning should be accompanied by music; then followed another communication di recting all regimental bands to prac tice dally till they could continuously play at the rate of 120 steps to tho minute. The result, battalions drilling to tho sound of music, Is not only novel, but quite agreeable nnd success ful In Its results. PRACTICK MAPCIIKS. As a further preliminary to the ex ercises In Philadelphia, Company C has had two practice marches, one to Mld dletown yesterday, and the Bccond to Mummelstown this morning. Today's march was begun after the boys had been put through their gymnastic ex ercises, and was a record-breaker. The company was In charge of Lieutenant Burkhouse, and made the trip over the longest road by Clifton. A distance of nearly six miles over heavy, sandy roads, which were not yet dried after the recent rains, up and down hill, with two short rests included, was made In un hour nnd thirty minutes. The boys kept up a continued cadence of 124 30-inch steps to the minute, nnd at times even Increased It to 129 steps per minute, a task which Is not so very easy ns It looks, especially when arcompllshod an half a cup of coffee, two pieces of bread, and a lit tle oatmeal mush. A Bhort rest wns taken at the Hotel National, and tho return trip of four miles was made In just sixty-five, minutes. Those hardy trnmpers had onlyn few minutes In which to eat a very indif ferent cold meal, and then went out for an hour and a half to battalion drill and Immediately after to dress parade. There was no complaint, and no men fell out: but It wns "good-by supper," when the mess bell rang nt half past five. They ate up everything in sight. The example of C Company will be imitated, and before the trip to Philadelphia comes off all the mem bers of the Thirteenth will have had a taste of marching over the country roads. Most of the men do not seem to relish the possible effects which are anticipated from marching over nsphalt and block pavements. They aro not accustomed to that, and after the Phil adelphia trip, it is probable that there will be many "tenderfeet" in the Sec ond Army corps. NO ACCOMMODATIONS. This nfternoon The Tribune corre spondent wns Informed by Acting Reg imental Adjutant David J. Davis that, at least, In so far ns tho Thirteenth Is concerned, the arrangements for ac commodating tho men aro unsntlBfac toiy in fact, there are no accommo dations whatsoever. The Pennsylvania Railroad company objects to housing the men in its cars while they are down there, and Information has been received that the school authorities re fuse to quarter any of the troops In the school houses, so that it seems, to use the expressive vernacular of the "West, the city of Philadelphia. In in viting the troops there for the Jubilee, has bitten off more than It can con veniently or gracefully chew. Tho sol diers here did not ask to go, and are not free agents In the matter; but they certainly will object to being tak en to Philadelphia Just to amuso the people of that city and then receive poor conveniences and general shabby treatment. It is to be hoped that some happy way will be found out of this undesirable tangle. According to present calculations the Thirteenth will leave here at 11 o'clock next Wednesday morning, and return to camp Thursday night, or Friday forenoon. Brigadier General Gobin was present at the Thirteenth's dress parade last evening. Captain Smith, of E. Is ofTleer of the day; Lieutenant Foote, of D, officer of the guard; Franklin M. Gardiner, of G. sergeant of the guard; Jacob Koch, of C, Lewis M. Reese, of R, and W. O. Lnthrop, of A. corporals. After a week's silence the band gave a concert this evening. The weather is fine and the moon shining. The boys all turned out to hear the music. bergeant Eugene Fellows and Private William Harris, of F. wont home this afternoon on furlough. The latter re ceived a message Informing him of the serious Illness of his daughter. CAMP PERSONALS.

The two Mary land companies on duty at tho gov ernment bakery, under command of Mnjrr Lowndes, will also return to tho regiment about Monday. INDUSTRIAL NOTES. A new proposition of Interest to the worklngmen of the country has been suggested. It will come up at the next annual session of the American Federa tion of Labor, which will be held In Kansas City In December. If the plan can be worked successfully all boycotts now In force against corpora tions and firms will be declared off and a general fight made to Increase the sales of articles bearing union labels. A member of tho American Federation, In speaking of the subject, said: "Such a proposition will meet with great op position; nevertheless, something should be done to enliven the labor movement and extend the sale of union-made goods. Not one boycott In 50 Is successful, because of tho apathy of the worklngmen themselves, ns only those directly Interested In a particu lar grievance withdraw their tradb from the offending employer. Thou sands of dollars are expended weekly in tho advertising of boycotts. This money would bring greater returns If used to extend the sale of articles manufactured by organized labor. If the labor organizations of the country would pass a law providing for a J5 line, or even higher, on every member convicted of purchasing non-union made goods when he could buy union made, it would prove a greater boycott than any that could be declared under THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA HON. SAM'L W. PENNVPACKEU, Judge city court, I'lilla., says; I have exumlnuU the new Johnson's Unl vurtal Cyclopedia with care and entirely approve of its plan and tho manner In which the work upon It nas been per formed. The articles being Blgned, the reudor knows tho authority for the state ments madit nnd the writer is fixed with Individual responsibility. COL. A. K. M CLI.'K13 says: It Is the best work for ready leference that wo have among the many reference books In our newspaper library. It will be at onco iicotpted us the Standard. CEO. P. HUPP, librarian Glrard col lege, says: It gives tho shortest path to .he Infor mation wo want. There Is no doubt that It is tho very best cyclopedia for tha home, olllce, llbrury and school. RICHARD M. JONES, LL. D, head matter, Penn Charter t-chool, fays; There ear. be no question that It Is tho best cyclopedia published In this c.urtry. SAM'L 11. HUEY. atty. at law, iirest, of the Phlla. Board of I'ubllo Education: I am surprised that you have been able to Kather together such a statf of writers, and um still moro surprised at the Hcope and accuracy of tho articles themselves, which are in such compact form as to he Immediately uvallahlo to the busy man. I shall refer to It constantly In connection with my professional work, and have no hesitation in saying that any writer, speaker or teacher will be tho richer In preparation und better equipped for work it he has access to It. HON. CHAS. KJIORY SMITH, post master gercral, says: It Is accurate and usefut to -ncv I Keep It at hand for ready reference. THE NEW JOHNSON'S UNIVERSAL CYCLOPEDIA Has already been received with the greatest satisfaction by our ' most eminent scholars, and it at once becomes The Standard Cyclopedia. Absolute superiority over all others in every respect is positively claimed for it. ' All others, even it recently sold, are more than 20 years old, and cannot be really serviceable, for they do not by any means meet modern requirements. The new Johnson's you will use daily. It will never disappoint you. All owners or The Old Amerl can, the former Johnson's, or any or the other cyclopedias, should at once replace them with the new Johnson's. It is indispens able in the office and the home. Send for specimen paeon free. Special terms and prlceB ottered with first copies. D. APPLETON & CO., 1219 Arch St., Phlla. tho present systom. This law would call attention to the union label of nil crafts and Increase tho demand for union-made goods.. Organized labor should adopt new Issues, the same as political parties. The word 'boycott has been worked so long that the pub lic Is tired of It, and even tho work lngmen themselves are striving to ndopt something new something that will be moro effective." The growth of the union label agitation In this coun try has been phenomenal, and many European economists are studying the subject. Secretary James Loughrldge, of the Union Label league, recently received a letter from Vienna, Aus tria, asking for Information concern ing the workings of the Label and Consumers' league. There seems to be no lack of new and up-to-date, dwelling houses In course of erection In the vacant space lying between Gibson street and the Dunmorc borough line. The latest con tract Is the one let last week to Spruks Bros., for tho erection of a double frame dwelling house on Madison ave nue, near the corner of Gibson street. Ex-Alderman O. B. Wright is tho own er and will devote between $6,000 and $7,000 to the building of this house. Architect E. G. Worden drew up tho plans. Though a double frame dwell ing It will have the appearance of a single house. Its style will be colonial, the front elevation presenting a hand some appearance. Inside several new features will be Introduced In the hard wood finishings. The molding running around the upper part of the room will form panels between doors and windows nnd will be adaptable to pic ture hanging. The Lee Park Knitting mill of Wilkes-Barre, Is referred to by the papers of that city as one of Its lead ing industries. Tho mill Is a two-story structure, 24 by 100 feet In size. At present men's half hose and misses' ribbed hoso nre manufactured. Work In the Bethlehem Iron works Is not so brisk at present as it was fcevernl weeks ago. Orders are on hand, however, to keep the plant running steadily for six months yet, but the night shift will soon be discontinued. Lehigh Valley engines 650 and 482, a pair of monster freight pullers, have been Introduced on the two day run be tween Mauch Chunk and Shamokln. HIGH SCHOOL COURSE. Opening of Diagram Postponed Until Monday. Owing to the Inclement weather of yesterday, the canvussers who were to deliver the tickets to subscribers to high school entertainment and lecture course could not make much nrosress. It has been found necessary, therefore, to postpone the opening of the diagram from Monday morning until Wednes day morning at 9 o'clock. This Is done entirely In justice to those who, by their subscriptions, made this course possible. To those who have not yet subscribed the committee request us to say that they can obtain tickets at Powell's or the high school, or by notifying the committee. Any high school pupil will take your order for tickets. The tickets are going fast and by Thurs day at least 700 season tickets will be sold. This will leave 300 desirable seats, as the seating capacity of the auditorium Is 1,000. One thing needs to bo emphasized here and that Is the fact that all pupils In any school of Scranton can get the season ticket for 75 cents. The prices for such exceptionally fine numbers nre so exceedingly low that, ,lt is safe to say, the Scranton nubile will never again have a like opportun ity. When our people think about this a little they will realize that they cannot afford to miss the opportunity offered them. The course Is purely educational. It Is offered at cost price and is, there fore, not a money making scheme. And It Is only because the board of control, desiring to give the scholars and their friends an educational treat, have granted the use of the magnificent high school, that this, one of the best and by far the cheapest course ever of fered here, can take place. (JOHNSON'S UNIVERSAL.) This new Cyclopedia cov ers the field heretofore com passed by both the Apple ton's American and the Hor ace Greeley edition of John son's, which were the two recognized American Stand ard Cyclopedias of the last decade. The name of the Johnson's is retained because the original plan of that work proved to be the most admirable ever used in the make-np of any great reference library; but the new work in every feature is as great an improvement over both of its predecessors as American learn ing, ingenuity and enterprise could accomplish. Notice some of Its superior and distinc tive features; 1. Instead of the usual one or two edi tors, it has a corps of 3G eminent scholars, each as editor of a distinct department of learning. 2. Tho leading- original articles were con tributed by more than 3.U00 specialists. 3. Tho articles aro signed by their au thors, enabling tho reader to depend upon the statements undc. I. Each toplo Is treated under Its own heading no Index volume Is necessary. t. Ily Its complete system of cross ref erences one may exhaustively study ev ery detail of any subject. 6. It Is moro than 20 years later than any other. 7. It treats 52,000 subjects vastly moro than any other. 8. Every article has been comprehen Blvely written for the general reader. 9. Everything tit It Is thorough, new, fresh und up to date. 10. Its Illustration, maps and plates aro superb. II. It Is compactly bound In eight royal octavo volumes of over 900 pagen each. 12.
