BargainGiving ln
Silks and
Black Dress Goods
It is but seldom that bargain giving on such broad-gauged princi
ples as we olfer today comes to the women of Scr.inton in "the way of
Black and Colored Silks and Black Dres.s Goods. There's a reason for
this. Such goods are not of the general bargain counter order at the
Globe Warehouse. In fact, we carry nothing m stock in these depart
ments but the best staple weaves and seasonable novelties expressly de
signed for middle and high-class buyers. Consequently, no matter how
low the price may be, the materials, shadings and styles are the veiy
best the market of today has to offer, while the wealth of choice afforded
in our limitless stocks such a special sale as the present a bargain oppor
tunity of such surpassing excellence that shrewd buyers of limited means
who feel it their duty to be in keeping with the times in the matter of
dress, cannot afford to miss it.

EVENTS OF DAY IN

SOME FEATURES OF OCTOBER IN
THIS FART OF CITY.
Death Rate Was Low and There Was
a Small Number of Arrests Fun
eral of the Lato Edwin Reeso at
the First Welsh Baptist Church.
Attended by a Largo Number of
Persons Remains of David Kami
Interied Reckless Driving Dam
ages a Carriage.
October, the month of the biovvn
ule" Is within one day of It close for
this year, it has been a month replete
with many incidents out of the ordin
al v. even hero ln our mlcM In one
respect it has been a unique month.
During tho course of the preoc dins
thirty days the West Scranton nolle
detull have had a very quite month
so far as art cuts or other troubles goes.
In fact no other month in this year
shows such n clean record on the dock
et In the police court, though none
have been very bad. Alderman John,
who was police magistrate for the
month, does not recall a quieter month
throughout in jears during his exper
ience In police com I matters. There
have been but twelve arrests, eight
men, three women and one boy, real
ly all for ordinal y reasons. Three
men wete committed In default of fine,
one discharged with a reprimand nnd
the rest fined.
Two of the women were fined, the
other wns discharged with a lepri
mand. The boy was discharged with a
reprimand, the prosecutor not desiring
to press the charge. The total amount
realized In lines for the month was
thirty dollars. About two weeks ago
twelve boys were urrestcd bv the po
lice, all charged with malicious mis
chief. They were given a hearing to
gether and discharged after a lecture
from the alderman. The lesson pi ave J
efflcnclous among the lands of the com
munity in which the boys arrested re
side. The aldermen, without any ex
ception on this side, have had a very
scant number of "criminal cases" to
transact. What few cases they have
had were very trivial and were quick
ly disposed of ln the aldermanlc courts.
That a community of over 30.000 In
habitants should enjoy one whole
month so free fiom court business is
an indication of that community's gen
eial motals.
Then, too, the sick and death rate
has been very low during the month
Most of the recorded mortality arose
from Infantile or old ago causes. Two
instances of suicide are rccoided. Lit
tle if uny contagious diseases have
been found despite the changes of
weather. In connection with the death
record it might be mentioned that sev
eral of our oldest lesldents have been
called to the great beyond during the
month.
Thus, ln a casual glance over two
fields, which are always good sources
of guaglng a community from month
to month, we find that physically and
morally West Scranton Is a good place
to reside In.
