but he has, nevetthcU'ss, the most pto

he Is so fond of thtowlnff on the sub

fact He Is not the mnn to bo Intlml

Hire of himself for that He does
not Jump to wioiik conclusions or do
ilde an Important matter foi hltn
telf until he has all the pldem.e nuir
Mialled befoie hltn When his mind
Is made up he Is ttue to the line of
dut he maps out for himself. He ap-
pteclates honest, slncetf criticism of
his official conduct nnd acts and Is
bip enough to feel sonv for the men
who ttv to besmirch journalism that
they mny exploit a slioit lived uMisa
tlon In convcisation with a Tilbuno
man when he was In the city Tliuts
dn the KoNernor said:
M ONpileiiie leads me to the con

make tliem are In the main honest nnd
nOIable Once In a while ou find a
fellow who is not paitlculiir what be
sajs about jmi or how be quotes yout
explosions but, as a title, ho docb not

can afford to underestimate the great
power of the pre", n power that Is

will lontlnue to glow It newspaper
at j at all violv directed They will
be, for It Is mj obseivatton that Journ
alism ! constantly calling to Its lanks
the best and bioadcst minds ot the day.
"I have frequently been astonished
at tho shrewdness and keenness ot
newspaper men with whom I have
come In contact. When I was In Wash
ington, where matters of gieat moment
vvete constantly coming to the suifme,
It wasat times little lets than marvelous
the way the conespondi nts there an
ticipate the vaiious moves In national
politics or national legislation, and of
ten times In matter of more than na
tional importance rrequently they
were compelled to base their articles
on nothing mote substantial than their
own knowledge of men and tho ambi
tions oi Impulses that stirr0(i them,
supplemented by their general Knowl
edge of nfialrs and a certain Intuition
that seems to be a pan of every suc
cessful newspaper man With only
these to lely on the certainty with
which nianj lnttlcate and sometimes
far distant moves would be piedlcted
and explained (Hied me with no little
ndmliatiou nnd tespect for the mn
who were capable of perfotmlng such
feats.
"One thing that has often Impies-sed
mo Is .i certain family it-semblance,
so to speak, among newspaper men.
There Is .something about the uleit,
wide-awake life that ho leads and tho
confidential manner In which he tomes
in contact with the world at various
points that leaves Its impression and
maiks him as a man of the. Fourth es
tate Tin newspaper is undeniablv a
great educator, a greater factoi In that
direction than most pet sons nie willing
to admit, or, perhaps, It will be better
to sav, caie to admit, and, as 1 said be
foie, 1 believe in the main nevvspapeis
mean to be honest and fail Public
men nio public servants and it is the.
proper ptovlnee of the newspaper to
ctitlclse and comment on their ac
tions When this is honest, whether
favoiahle or unfavorable, the public
man has. no just teason to complain.
W'o cannot all see the same proposition
alike."

that thu major-elect ' having somo

One of the stion,r advocates of a pavo
on North Main avenue Is Major J. H.
Fish, tho superintendent of the Ptovl
dence Gas and Water company, which,
under his taioful management, has be
come n great Institution Major Fish
recently celebiatea his seventieth
birthday, but he does not look his age
by ten yeais For many )ears he was
active In the National Guard and was
the captain of Company II. of tho
Thirteenth regiment. Ho was after

Majoi I'lsh Is one of tho oldeat real-
dents of Notth Scranton and Is greatly
Intel estcd In its progress, not only be

ther icason that ho hns large Interests

piovemenls are gjstcmutlcally tarried
forvvatd.
Since tins Inception of thu movement
to lay a pave on North Main avenue
und Provldento toad It law had no
wanner ot mote enttiest champion than
tho major, nnd whenever It was In
peril In council, Major Fish was always
a member of the committee of promi
nent North Ilnd men who came down
to sec that justice was done their pet
inithuu. When the nutl-pavo nglta
Hon was at Its height he took a promi
nent part In ptomotlng tho meetings
held In Company II armoty to combat
tho opposition. Through all the trials
und tribulations of Hie movement he
wa.s confident they would ultimately
tilumph and that the much longed for
pavo would bo laid. Now that the
pave Is practically an assured fact his
satisfaction may well bo Imagined
The letlicmptit of Frank Thompson
fiom the liquor business has set ulloat
any number of stories about him dur
ing the eaiiy days of his business life
In Scranton, when he was ptactically
the only wholesale liquor dealer In this
end of what was then Luzerne county.
It Is about thirty jears ago since Mr.
Thompson came to this cltv from
Philadelphia and engaged In tho llquoi
business. He was bright, engaging and
companionable and soon became one
of the best known joung men of the
city His business grew rapidly and
for many yeuis it leached huge pro
portions. His nlllce bicame the meeting place
of some of the best known Democrats
In the carlj- dajs of Lackawanna coun
ty and tho lufoimal talks there had a.
great Indue nee on the pollcj- of the
paity in local nffalrs Gradually Mr.
Thompson wltluliew fiom unv active
paitlclpatlon In politics, as did tho men
with whom he associated, and the con
feienees that had made his offlce at No.
IS Lackawanna famous came to an end.
Of lecent ears Mr. Thompson has
not been us active In business as hp
was cluilncr his eatly life In Kctanton
and final I j' he decided tn letlro nlto
gethei, though he Intends to continue his
residence In this city. For many years
ill. Thompson had the unique dis
tinction ot being tho only liquor dealer
who did not keep his place of business
open after 7 o'clock in tho evening.

Now That It Is a Damnable Meas

Way to Mr. Molr's Remarks.
Common council met Satutda) night
In adjoin ned session and passed the
annual appropriation ordinance on two
readings. It then adjourned to Tues
day night to pass It on final reading.
Tho meeting was an extieme-ly lively
one, a red-hot speech by Mayor-elect
Moir on the asphalt tepalr contract be
ing the main feature.
The fun opened with a motion by Mr.
Walker to take $1,S00 from the $3,000 ap
propriation for the te-pnlis ot sewers
and dtains and transfer it to the re
pair of the Hyde Park avenue sewer.
Mr. Keller moved to lay the amend
ment on the table.
Mr Walker wanted to make nil ex
planation, but the chair i tiled him out
of older on the ground that a motion
to table was not debatable Mr. Gtler
tried to put In a word, but the chair
would not recognize him. .Mr. Grler In
sisted upon talking, but tho chair In
sisted just ns stronglv that he shouldn't
talk.
Chaliman Moir thteatcned to udjourn
tho meeting If Mr. Grler did not sub
side. Mr. Grler made some letoit about
"bossism," and the chair, with some
show of nngei, said that If there was
a. sergeant-at-atms at hand he vvould
have Mi. Giter removed.
CHAIR AVON OCT.
The chair finally won out, and the
vote on the amendment was taken. The
amendment was lost and the chair
thereupon declared the whole ordinance
lost on the ground that If an amend
ment Is tabled the measure itself Is also
tabled.
There was no end of confusion follow
ing this i tiling. Members rushed hither
and thither, nil talking at once and all
demanding to bo heard. Mr. Grler suc
ceeded in securing the attention of the
chair and moved to lecon-lder action
on the amendment. This was done and
then a motion prevailed to not adopt
the Walker amendment
gavi: MOIR tiii: cm
Alt Keller then nttempted to bring
the oidlnanco up on first reading, but
T. r. Morris got ihead of him with an
amendment to tiansfer the Item of $17,
G2i) for asphalt tepalrs from tho city
engineer's depattment to the street
commissioner's.
This was Captain Molr's cue for a
rabid antl-nophalt speech. Calling Mr.
Keller to the chair, he took the lloor
and pioeceeled to asall the Raiber
company and the asphalt repair con
ttact In no uncertain terms.
He had been "buncoed" into voting
In favor of the tontiaet, he said, but
now that his ejes had been opened, ho
wanted to set himself right before the
public. He believed the asphalt tepalr
Ing could be done for half of $17,520, and
was himself In favor of a municipal
plint for asphalt repairing such as
AVIlkes-IJarre has
COUNCILMAN AVnan IJADGHRnD.
Last summer, when the asphalt lepalr
matter was before councils, the Mayor
elect went on to say, the councilmen
weie so badgered that thc-j could not
make use of their common sense Mr.
Roche Introduced an ordinance looking
to the lep'ihlng of asphalt streets for
$12,000 a ear, but notwithstanding that
It was a peifectly practicable and legal
orellnunce. It was killed
To enter upon this contiact would
bankrupt tho clt), Captain Moir pro
tested Something should be doire to
call a halt to the Rarber comp.vij. He
n.icr an juea as to how this company
maintained Its hold ott the city coun
c lis and It was a crying shame, ho said,
that the companj should be allowed to
piey upon the public and bulldoze
everybody. Tho contiact was a damn
able measuie. full of eoituptton, and ho
wanted to put himself on ic-coid against
It
.Mr Keller, who Introduced the oiell
nunce providing foi leprlilng asphalt
streets by contract, replied to iCiiptiiin
Molr's speech in equally virulent terms.
He was sin prised, ho said, to heur the
miij or -elect admit that he-was buncoed,
and would like to see an.v company that
could place him In a position w here he
would have to admit that he had luen
buncoed.
He- then went on to sir) that Captain
.Aloii s talk about the repair conttact
I being a big steal was wdtculous. The
city could not tepalr the streets for $!0,
000 a tur, he contended The contract
was nelvi itiseel and tho Uaibei com
panj was the lowest bidder. Ho had
given the subject cuietul snnlj and was
xiitlsllc-d that the bid was a very iea
sonnblo one. The vote on the amend
ment v as then e ailed and resulted in

TRUST IS AFTER
SCRANTON TOBACCO
WANTS TO BUY THE THREE
LOCAL FACTORIES.
Continental Tobacco Company, the
Now 870,000,000 Syndicate That
Gobbled Up the American Tobacco
Company Is Negotiating for the
Purchase of the Clark & Snover,
Clnik & Scott and Leonard Tobacco
Factories Makes Tempting 0ffci3,
but Aro Not Satlsfactoiy Ones.
That Sciantons tobacco Industries
are somewhat ot a factor In that par
ticular coiner ot the commercial world
Is evidenced by the fact that their eon
tiol Is being sought for by the big to
bacco trust.
Tho Continental Tobacco eompati),
the title ot the new tobacco syndicate,
has representatives here now negotiat
ing for tho purchase of all three of tho
local tobacco factoi les, Clatk & Sno-
vpi's. Clark Sr Scott's nnd Leonards.
J. H. Russell & Co., the AA'ashlngton
nvenuc brokers, are said to be these
representatives.
James 11. Scott of the tlrin of Clark
& Scott, when nppio.iched upon the
subject ndmltted the icport was true
His company had been offered a wry
tempting figure for Its plant and good
will, and he was rctlnhly Informed that
the other two companies had also been
approached Fiom Air Scott's conver
sation It was to be gathered that tho
Hcranton companies- were not likely to
accept tho ofters.
The Continental Tobacco company Is
one of the moat gigantic; of nil the
trusts, being enpltall7td for $70,000,000
It has absorbed the original trust, the
American Tobacco company, and Is
reaching out to secure absolute control
of every tobacco factoi y ot nny Im
portance In the country.
