Caesar had ills Brutus, King (leorgo
his Cromwell, Wliltcchapcl Hm Jack the
Hipper, and "Teddy" Ilooscvelt has his
troubles, but all these are us nuught
compared to the new excitement that
an ullecod "Jack the Hugger" I cm
atlng on this side. So great lias the
fear among- the women folks become
Unit most dances at several halls are
stag affairs, there Is a notable absence
or futr ones In the nightly promenades
on Main avenue, and some of thou of
the married women who must be out
t rail or shon In the evening have
notified the police that protection must
bi afforded them.
This talk of the "hugger" has been in
vogue for about two weeks. It Ilrst
started' from the story a young lady,
veil known on this side, told her
friends. Home big, strong young man
bad grabbed her on a dark corner, had
hugged her and than ran away. A
iiowspaper man Investigated and found
that the "hugger" was a near and dear
friend of the young lady und was only
.I0UI117, and had told the young lady's
friends all about It beforehand.
Of course, only the hugging part bo
eame known to the public and since
then all sorts of "stories" have been
circulating. The alleged hugger ha? al
ready been In two different places at
the same time so It Is said.
Wednesdav evening, however, affairs
nssumed a serious phase. Mrs. Saun

nn btr way home after closing the
store that evening. It was about !).30
o'clock and Just ns she was about to
pass an alley leading off Lincoln ave
nue, a big fellow stepped out and
Hashed n light in her face. She ran
back towards the residence of D. 11.
Davis, corner of Jackson street and
Lincoln avenue, and called for help.
When help i cached her she bad
fainted. Dr. J. J. Carroll was called
and she was taken to her home. She
recovered consciousness about mid
night. Yesterday though still nervous,
she was at the stcre Slje stated that
the fellow did not strike her or ppeuk
to her.
Complaints wc-ie made to the police
last evening that, some person was
walking up and down North Uromley
avenue near Pilco street and waj in
sulting women who pnshed without an
escort. The pame fellow had been
there the evening before. A watch
was set but the rellow had disappear
ed. Several similar complaints were
made yesterday and last evening to
the police.

Street Commissioner Jackson stated

Under the head of grievances three

water was running into the cellar of

nuisance. Thomas Golden, of Hlukely
street, facing Dudley, stated how a for
mer street commissioner had under

The matter was referred to Mr. McCul
There are strong reasons to believe
that within a short time the plant of
the National Elevator works, now
located at Honesdale, will be added to
the list of Industries of this side. In
fact, for tho past four years negotia
tions have been under way to bring
the large concern to this city. When
the South Scrunton board of trade was
one of the leadlns and active organ
izations of this section, a committee
composed of John J. Scheuer, Jr.. M. P.
Judge and C. G. Roland went to Hones
dale to confer with the owners of the
plant relative to moving to Scrnnton.
The local committee saw u good future
for the works, and In their report at
the ensuing meeting of tho board,
Messrs. Schouor, Roland and Judge
strongly urged that tho moneyed men
of tho city subscribe stock In the com
pany. Acting on their recommenda
tion, n number of prominent men be
came Interested In the affair, which re
sulted In tho plant being almost owned
by Scrnnton capital. Since the aban
donment of the Gravity road of the
Delaware and Hudson railroad the
move to have the works brought hero
has been revived. To The Tribune cor-
respondent Mr. Scheuer, who has been
I particularly active In the matter from
the very first, stated last night that ho
has been in conference with two of tho
officials of the concern during tho week.
They, too, nre now exceedingly anxious
to come to Scrnnton, giving preference
to this side for location. Interesting
developments are expected shortly.
The formal opening of the new Hotel
Rosar, at the corner of Cedar avenue
and Alder street, took place last night.
Proprietor Phillips Issued Invitations to
over two hundred of his friends and

BargainGiving in
Silks and
Black Dress Goods
Itjs but seldom that bargain giving on such broad-gauged princi
ples as we offer today comes to the women of Scranton in the way of
Black and Colored Silks and Black Dress Goods. There's a reason for
this. Such goods are not of the general bargain counter order at the
Globe Warehous. In fact, we carry nothing in stock in these depart
ments but the best staple weaves and seasonable novelties cxpressiv de
signed for middle and high-class buyers. Consequently, no matter how
low the price may be, the materials, shadings and styles are the vdy
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.
Sale begins Tuesday, Nov. 1
and Continues for Ten Days
Among the many specials offered are
FANCY SILKS.

Various Specimens That Cause Men
to Shun All ' But Temperance
Drinks.
From Chambers' Journal.
There are five kinds of venomous
snakes In Victoria: The tiger snake,
the black snake, the brown snake, the
copperhead and the death adder.
The last mentioned Is very rare In
Victoria, and very venomous. It Is
about two feet long, very thick In pro
portion to its length, of a dull brown
color, and with a llat, wide head. The
strangest thing about It is that many
people believe Its sting is contained In
the tall.
Leaving tho death adder out of the
count, there are four species which
are fairly common. The tiger snake
conies first, In popular estimation If
not in reality, it is regarded as the
most venomous nnd the most savage.
It attains In some districts n length of
about six feet, hut tho majority of
specimens aro from three to four feet
long. Its coloring variegated, black
and brown on the back, and pale brown
on tho belly. When uttacked It some
times raises Its hend to a height of a
foot from the ground, and its appear
ance then as it rests on Its colls with
Its head seemingly widened out, Its
neck contracted, Its forked tongue flick
ering out of Its mouth, and Its eyes
blazing with rage, makes the average
man rather chary of upproachlng. One
good point Is that tho backbone of all
snakes Is easily broken by a blow from
a stick, and tho power of locomotion
is thus taken away. Next on the list
Is tho black snake. This Is rather
Iurger -than tho tiger, and tho hund
somest of all Victorian snakes. Tho
back Is of Jot black, und shines like a
well polished boot, and the belly Is a
beautiful salmon pink. It Is less com
mon than the tiger snake, nud is very
frequently confounded with tho cop
perhead. The brown snake Is brown
on the back, whlty brown on the belly,
atid about tho same length as the
other two. The commonest of nil, at
any rate near Melbourne, is tho cop
perhead, which Is found In most parts
of Victoria. As Its name implies. It
has a coppery head, a dark back and a
yellowish belly.
