ODDS AND ENDS OF
CURRENT TOPICS
SECRETARY APPOINTED BY
MAYOR-ELECT MOIR.
Piecedent Set by Mayor Connell and
Mayor Bailey Was Not Followed.
Mr. Hntton Has Had a Lai go
Amount of Experience with Mat
teis Pertaining to the City Govern
mentThose Who Have Pieccded
Him in the Office Visit of Band
Managei Greer.
Mu oi -elect Moir has not follow ed
the precedent established by his pre
decessors In tho mutter of appointing
his secretnty. Mayor Connell and
Major Bailey selected their secretaries
ft om among the active newspaper
wnrkciH uf tlit city, but the mayor
elect lias ,een lit to name Ilcniy C.
Hat ton as his confidential man.
Tim selection Is nil excellent one
Mr. Hntton has had an extensive
evpeilcnie In tnuttels pcitnlnllig to tin
'lty gowintuent during the last ten
.vents. Almost inimi'diatel.v after
leaching his majority he went Into the
(ominnn council as the leiuesentallvo
of the 1'lrsst ward, and niiiilo u lino
loioitl He was bright, genial and in-ngetlc-
and t-oon won a conspicuous
place among the oldei members of thut
blanch of the eit council. Since Ills
letliement from council lie has been
a ileik In several departments of tho
city hnll, and Is now lllling the posi
tion of eleik of the common council,
of which body Mnyot -elect Molr N
chaliman. Mr. Ilattou Is well fitted
by temperament anil e'.pcileucc to
take charge of the gteat army of call
ers who eveiy day invade the mayoi's
ofTlce It requires: Infinite tact and
almost tho gift of a mind reader to
satisfactorily sift the wheat from tin
chaff to the end that the time of His
Honor may not be needlessly wasted,
and that every man who has a valid
reason for s-eelng the mayor may bo
heaid.
Mnvor-plect Molr Is not without pre
cedent, however, in going outlde tlm
tanks of newspaper vvotkers for Ills
secretary. During a portion of tho
teim of Hon. John H. Fellows, Major
H. D. Fellows, now Recietary of tlm
board of contiol, helped the mayor to
attend to the Innumerab'i matteis that
came before him for consideration.
A secretaiy was of no great assist
ance to Mayor Fellows, however.
He Insisted on seeing every taller
and nlso in wilting every letter and
public document until ho discovered
that his messages to council lecelved
greater consideration after passing
through the hands of a lesourceful
secretary. When Mayor Fellows learned
that lesson his peipendlcular hand
writing and long sentences wcie less
a feature of tho sessions of council
and his messages came In good ortho
dox type-written fashion that dis
closed less of tlm Individuality of the
man and stirred up less opposition.
Until tho end of his term Mayor Fel
lows never delegated to nny one clso
the- lespon&iblltty of seeing his cnlleis.
His ofllce was on tho top floor
of tlm Commonwealth building,
vvheie manv weary houi wcie
put In by pel sons who had urgent bus
iness with bl.s honor, but could not
get his ear until a host of calleis who
wanted to be exoneiated from the pay
ment of a clog tax or tome equully Im
portant matted hod been heard ut
length. One of the compe&ationt, of a
visit to the mayor's conning tower was
the splendid view that could !) ob
tained. The Commonwealth building
was then the tallest structute In tho
city and those who isltvd his honor's
qunitcis fcr the lirtt time wer.' much
impress-ed by the panorama that spte.ivl
out before them.
It was Mavor Connell who first de
monstrated the pobslbllitles of a sc de
tail. When he was indued d Into of
lice pnd went to his quavteis In the
new city hall he took with bint Mnilc
1-ilgar, who had been for some time
pi lor to that event a member of the
fits staff of The Tiibune. Mr. i:dgar
was not only a sond newspaper man
and a writer of more than ordinal y
cleverni ss, but a polished gentlcmnn
and a diplomat. The smoothness with
which he handled the s,warni of per
sons who found their way Into the
mayor's oflloe wa little less than mar
velous. His rervlccs weio almost price
less to Mayor Connell. win was en
il"avoring to give bis best energies nnd
thought to city matteis, and could not
afford to have his otllce houi-, wasted
where it would do no good.
Mr. TMgar stood between the major
and the flood and disposed of nil mat
teis save those it wits essential
the mayor should consider per
sonally. The itsults were veiy sltls-factoij-.
Theio wus no cooling of heels
for houis in tho mayor's anto-clinmbor.
Thos-e who had pioper business to dis
cuss with Ills honor saw lilm at
once nnd weio given ample time to tall,
over the matter nt hand. The trlflers
and time eonsumeis found a hairier
between them and the city's chief mag
Ikltute. When Majoi Ilalley succeeded Major
Connell lie saw the advantages of the
sj'item that his piedecessor Imd in
troduced anil at once avnlled himself
of It bv appointing H. J. Beamish a.i
his secretaiv. The great usslsstanc
he has been to Mnj-oi Bailey is Known

bv evei v person who lias liml li.i.l i,ii.

James (Jreer, of Now Yoik tlty. man
ager of the Letter Carrleis' band of
that cltj. was tho guest or the local
cart lei s Saturday and yesterdaj. Mr.
(heer's band consists of sixty-five
pieces, and will be heaid here next
Heptembei, when the National Letter
Caiileis' association honois Scianton
with Its convention. The band was
one of the featuies of the convention
at Toledo, O , last September and Mr
Ureer Is certain It will be no less a
feature of tho convention In this city.
His visit hew at this time Is for tho
purpose of arianglng for accommoda
tions foi the band men
Wlin Mi. Ureer arrived Saturday
nfteinoou the local post men took him
to tho Ljceuni to hear tho concert
given by tlm llanda Itossa. "Mighty
line," was Mi (Jieer's comment after
the conceit, "but It's not tlm letter
diirleis' band by a good deal. Wo
don't claim, of cuuise, to possess the.
technique of tho Bunda Itobsa artists,
and probably would not be able to do
anything with their heavy numbers,
but for the ordinary run of band music
we aio In tlm race. You'll hear us In
September, when wo come to tho con
vention. Yen. jou'll hear u whole lot
of us, for we're going to stay a week."
Mr. Oreer wus very favorably Im
pressed by the appearance of Scranton.
It was his fliHt visit to the metropolla
of the anthracite coal llelds and he
approved of the evidence of push and
progreps that he saw on evety hand.
"It's New York on a email scale," was
the wny lie summarized his Impiea
slons. Up In Iliillslead, Susquehanna coun
ty, they ate preparing to give a royal
welcome to the niembeis of tho Thir
teenth regiment who reside In tlint
piosperous Utile village when they ic
turn to their homes and their kindred.
Preparations for tlm event huve been
in progiess for some time nnd the local
paper each week fairly bristles with
ordeis of the Commander of the painde
which Is to be one of the featuies of
tlm occasion
Saturdnj s l?.sue of the Hallstead
Herald contained General Older No. 1
set In large type and two columns
wide. This order contained the names
of fifty-two men who have been hon
ored with positions as assistants to the
commander and as aides. Tlm leturn
of the soldleis Is to be a distinctly red

ARE TO ERECT A BREWERY
Scianton Men Said to Be at the Head
of a Movement to Constiuct a
Beer Biewing Plant at
Sttoudsburg.
'A beer brewery to cost ?"",000 will
be elected and opeiated In this town
this yoai," says tlm Stroudsburg
Times. For good icasons tho names
of tho Interested parties are withheld
until all uirangements are complete.
"Some time ago a tract of land on
Lincoln avenue, this town, on which
tlm fine Fiankcnfleld Springs are lo
cated, was pin chased ostensibly for a
djeiug plant. It wns learned later
that u big brewery was to be erected
on tho land.
"Tlm capital stock of tho brewing
company Is placed at $100,000, more
than half of which has been subsci Di
ed. Those Interested In tlm scheme are
mostlj- Scranton people, principally tho
hotel and saloon men of that cltj-
"The Ideas Is to make the bievvery
a eonsumeis company and place as
much stock ns possible with hotelmen,
bottlers, lcstauiant and saloon keep
eis. Theie Is no Intention to go Into
competltln with local bottleis, if they
become stockholders and handle the
product of the brewerj. The new con
cern will be Independent of all brewery
combines.
"Tho plant is to be nn up-to-date
one in ull respects. The building will
be five storks, tire proof, nnd work
will be started in the e.uly spring.
The contiact foi the building and
equipping will probably be given to
tho Wilhelm Gi loser Engineering com
panj', of Chicago.
"Tho brewery will have an output
of 30,0'ju barrels per vear or a bun
dled bairels a day. Ales, porter, stouts.
Weiss beer and Foft dtlnks will be
produced.
"The object of locating In Stiouds
burg Is on nc count of the pure water
and those who know t,ay that tho
Fiankcnfleld spring water is of such
a quality that the beer will be the
tlne.-.t made In the conntrj-.
Appllcntlon will be made at the
coming couit for a breweis' license

THE REGIMENT'S RETURN
Co-nmlttee Much Perplexed Over the
Arrival Being Scheduled for a
Sabbath Day Another Meet
ing to Be Held Saturday.
As a waj out of tlm dilemma which
the return of the Thirteenth on a
Sabbath day piesents, It Is suggested
that the foimal welcoming demonstra
tion bo postponed until a few days
latet, and that they be given a ban
quet at tlm atmory and a reception
at tlm Lvceum.
The reception committee at Its meet
ing Satuiday was in a quandary as to
what was best to do. After many
plans were discussed the above sug
gestion was adopted as the best put
forwaid, and if it meets with favor
from the soldiers themselves will likely
bo adopted.
Secictaij- Chillies H. Daniels was in
structed to submit the proposition to
Colonel Com sen with the request that
he ascertain the sentiment of the men
and acquaint the committee with the
same nt the earliest moment.
It Is expected that an answer by
telegraph will have been received
when the committee meets again
Wednesday afternoon.
The detailed plan of this demonstra
tion contemplates a half holiday
throughout the whole city and a pa
inde from the nrmory to tho Lyceum
between the banquet and the lecep
tlon. The Eleventh regiment, the old
members of the Thirteenth and the
Grand Army veterans will form the
escort
None but mcmbeis of tho legiment
will be Invited to tlm banquet. I2ach
member of the leglmont will have the
privilege of inviting one fiiend to the
reception. As there ate over eight
bundled members of the regiment,
thus It can be seen, will tax the capac
ity of the theater.
The out-of-town companies will be
I requested to attend the celebration In
