It Affords
Us Pleasure
to announce' to the ladies' of Scranton that we have completed
arrangements with the manufacturers ot
Redfern Corsets
lor a return visit of the authority on corset fitting who has been
with us on previous occasions tor short intervals,
In our opinion
Redfern Corsets reach the highest possible ideal as a perfect figure
moulder, and do so with absolute comfort and safetv to their wear
ers. They differ from almost every other corset on the trarket, in
that they are not confined to one or two particular models which
must be accepted by the wearer, irrespective of individual measure
ments or natural figure.
Redfern Corsets
are made to suit the requirement of all ligurcs, hence the value ol
an expert titters advice, and the benefit to health, and personal ap
pearance which come from accepting and following the hints given.

corset department
For one week
begining on Monday November
room has been arranged for the
Corset construction
Fiven if Redfern Corsets had no other advantages than goodness
of construction, that itsell should be sufficient reason why ladies
should desire them. All Redfern Corsets have (the point fastners
excepted) no stays in them that are not made of the best hand
finished whalebones which by their arrangement can neither twist,
lose the original curves, o.r get out of position. In a word, a
Redfern Corset
that fits now. will always fit, always keep it's shape and always
ensure a perfectly moulded figure to the wearer.

Cedar Avenue, Causes the Arrest
of Her Neighbor, Mrs. Gannon.
News of tho South Side Fire Com
paniesLesser Items of Interest.
In this column recently was pub
lished an interview w'th Thomas A
Dunn, junior member of Dunn Bros.,
the firm of general contractors, to
whom was awarded the contract for
tho construction of the Seventeenth
district main sewer. Mr. Dunn, as was
noted in The Tribune, said: "Work
will positively be commenced Monday
on the South Side sewer." Work, how
ever, was not begun yesterday, and,
from the action of City Engineer Phil
lips) yesterday operations will of neces
sity be deferred for a long time.
Early yesterday morning Mr. Phil
lips went to South Washington avenue
at the Stafford Meadow brook and
made a partial Inspection of the mam
moth pile of pipes which the firm have
received for the sewer. For several
reasons ho condemned tho pipes. Of
the many objections the principal one
was that eight hundred feet of Iron
pipe that was to be laid in the Stafford
Meadow brook from where the stream
Intersects with the Lackawanna river
to Casey & Kelly's brewerv. is not of
sufficient diameter; is of Inferior qual
ity and crooked.
City Engineer Phillips, according to
Harry Klaumlnzer, an ardent sewerlte,
who later repeated the stutement to
The Tribune correspondent, sfald that
this morning ho would send two men
from his force to make a thorough ex
amination ot the consignment ot pipes
now lying along the route of the pro
posed sewer. Thus It is obvious that
but slight hope exists of the Improve
ment being started at an early date.

avenue, went before Alderman Ruddy
yesterday and gave information for the

on the charge ot assault' and battery.
The alleged assault was made Sun

Is as follows: Tlif defendant's
daughter went to Providence Sun
day to witness a foot ball game.
Returning homeward she met u
young man she knew from that sec
tion who was coming to this side. He
asked if he could accompany Miss Can
non and In response to her query as
to whom he Intended visiting he told
her the Hummer home. It Is alleged
that Miss Gannon made a remark de
rogatory to .Mrs, Hummer.
The remark was repented to the lat
ter, and without any delay she went
into Gannon's and demanded un ex
planation and an apology. The result
was an alleged assault upon her. The
defendant will be arraigned for a hear
ing today at -1 o'clock.
