ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF THE
PROPOSED ROAD.
Made in the Letter of the Anthracite
Coal Operators' Association Hake
Up of the D., L. & W. Board for
Today Moving the Machinery
Into the New Xlotz Silk Mill at
Poplar Street Remarkable Record
of the Cannon Ball Freight on the
Jersey Central.
Spcaklntr of tho proposed Delaware
Valley ana 'Kingston railroad the let
ter of the Anthracite Coal Operators'
BPeoclatlon advances tho following ar
gument: Tho intention to convert this c.inal Into
a railroad Is clearly and beyond question
simply following the march or modern
Improvements. For seventy-two year? tl.o
canal hus been an Important means of
transportation from which freight traffic
has been gradually withdrawn by rr.ll
rtad competition. Conperiuently tho con
struction of a rallrcad over thN route N
but a charue In mothe power to mt.ct
this comretlton.
In view of certain changes in tho loute
of the proposed railroad by Us dcpaituro
from the bed of the canal at humo
rurves, tho company laid Hh plans be
fore tho eommmUs-lon, asking it to eon
sldtr that tho legislature of tho state,
which is tho creator of the commission,
has very clearly shown In the ait of as
nembly ntove quoted, that it regarded
the public ndvantogo and utility result
ing from tho substitution of a. rntlioad
for a canal as u settled fact in the policy
, of tho state.
A direct and Inotlmable benefit, the i.
hulls of which Bill be far-rc aching, will
b that of reducing tho .selllrn price of
the most essential of all products coil.
This will rqvally affect both tho supply
for domet-tlc purposes and fcr manufac
turing. To accomplish this risult the
proposed railroad lias already entered
Into contracts for tho tlilununt of an
thracite, mined b' indlUdual operators,
estimated at two nnd one-half million
tons, at fi eight rales which, assuming a
tide price of $1.00 per ton. as has been,
would be. twelve and one. half. per cent,
under tho rates hitherto charged.
Further, theso contracts pioWdo for an
even greater (eduction In the freight
charge on the smaller sizes of anthracite
used for steam-maklni' purposes. Tho
total difference is estimated at as much
as thirty cents per ton on the uverAgo
product, and besides there will bo tho e.
ductlon In the llnal belling pi Ice, which,
ur cording to the well-known laws of
commerce, must always risult fiom open
compe.tlton.
This proposed road can afford to grant
thin- material reduction in ft tight
charges, not only because the tales
charged by exUtlng tallroads are exor
bltantly high, but, owing to the iclatlve
Injr cost of lis construction and the com
paratively small price already paid for
the .right of way on-a lino which is pr.tc
tlialU' waded, and ready for the rails,
and, with the further advantago that, bo
causti over almost the cntlro route the
trradeji aro level or in favor of tho load.
It will bo able, to transport freight' at a
low operating cost. " ,
Tnat the present freight charges on
onthraclte coal are unreasonably high
can be clearly shown by comparison with
the. rate on soft coal. Both ot. these
varletlfit of fuel ure loaded and unload) d
by.gravjty; a full train load lh us easily
Mid cheaply assembled in ono caeo as in
anothor, end there is undoubtedly no
greater ccst In tho actual transportation
of a car of either kind.

OLD FORQE.
VERY STRINGENT
MILK ORDINANCE
TO BE SOON INTRODUCED IN
COUNCILS.
Was Considered Last Evening by a
Special Committee- from the Board
of Health Provides That Every
Milk Dealer Be Licensed and That
Before Such License Be Granted
His Herds Shall Have Been De
clared Free from Disease Penal
ties That Are Provided.
Miss Irene ' Myers ' and Mr. Henry
Herbert were matrled at the Methodist
Episcopal parsonage on Friday even
ing at 8 o'clock by Rev. O. P. Ace.
Tho bride wore a dress of navy ,blue
poplin. and carried a bouquet of white
carnations. She was attended by her
cousin. Miss Oraee Emrlck. Mr. Jo
seph Emiick acted ub best man.
A large number of friends and neigh
bors gatheied at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. William Naylor on Friday even
ing to celebrate the birthday of Mr.
Nuylor. She received many beautiful
presents as n token of the esteem In
which .she Is held. The evening was
spent very pleasantly. Refreshments
were served and at a late hour the
guests returned to their homes, wish
ing her many happy birthdays.
Mr. John Thornton, who fell and hurt
his shoulder so as to confine him to
his home, Is improving slowly.
Superintendent J. C. Taylor visited
the' borough schools last week.
A very lengthy ordinance, by which
It Is proposed to regulate the sale of
milk In this city was last evenlnir
considered at a meeting ot i special
committee from the board e healtt
held In City Solicitor Vosbms'a office.
It has long been proposuM to revise
the milk laws of the city, but the mat
ter has never'been brought to a head
until now. Parts of tho ordinance
considered last evening wera drawn up
by ex-Pood Inspector Culien and the
other portions of the measure have
been prepared by Food Iiifrpr-ctor WI1
mayer, acting In conjunction with City
Solicitor Vosburg and a committee
from the Green Ridge Womans' club,
which latter body has lately Interest
ed Itself In the matter.
The meeting last evening was at
tended by W. G. O'Malley and Dr.
Rodham ,of the board of health; Food
Inspector WIdmayer, City Solicitor
Vosburg and Attorney S. B. Price, the
latter appearing for the Womans' club.
Only a few minor changes were made
in the ordinance last night, and It is
proposed to bring It before the board
of health on Wednesday evening for
that body's consideration. It will then
be Introduced In council, but probably
not before re-organlzatlon. Mr. Vos
burg 'stated positively last evening
that It would stand a strong legal test.
PROVISIONS OF MEASURE.
The measure first provides that no
person shall sell milk In the city with
out first procuring a license. Any per
son desiring a license must make a
written application to the board of
health, stating his name and residence,
tho exact location of his dalrv or .the
place he obtains his milk: If a pro
ducer the number of cows in his herd
and if not the number of cows in
the herd of the person he purchases
milk from, and finally how he disposes
of his milk.
The filing of this application will al
low him to continue selling until the
board acts on it. The measure then
provides that an inspection be made
of the dairy from which the milk comes
and of the cows which produce It, a
refusal to allow such inspection being
ground for the refusal of.al license.
If the dairy Is located within Lacka
wanna county it' Is to be the duty of
the health' officer' to make the Inspec
tion, or to supervise the Inspection,
the purpose of which Is to ascertain
whether any of the cattle are Infected
with tuberculosis or other contagious
dlseuse or not. If the dairy Is outside
the city the ordinance provides that
the Inspection be made by a local vet
erinarian acceptable to the health of
fleer and without expense to'the city.
In this inspection what Is known as
tho "tuberculin test" is to be used,
tho tuberculin to be furnished at the
expense of the board of health. Every
animal inspected Is to be tagged or
branded, such tag or brand to afford
a permanent record of ita physical
condition.
GRANTING OF LICENSES.
The health officer must then pre
sent a report to tho board of health,
stating what disposition is to be made
by the dairy owners of diseased cattle
found and after consideration of this
report the board Is to determine what
applicants are entitled to a license,
and must pass a resolution granting
them such license, which Is to be valid
ono year from the date of the passage
of such resolution.
The licensee, upon being granted a
license, must from that time post on
the outside of his milk wagons, his
name place, of business and the num
ber of such license, or, it he sells milk
in a shop ho must post these same
in a conspicuous place.
After disposing of the llccn&e prop
osition tho ordinance provides that no
dealer shall Sell any "unclean, Impure,
unhealthy, unwholesome or adulterated
milk: that all stables must be well
ventilated and not overcrowded; that
the animals be clean and free from
contagious disease, and that they be
not fed any putrlfled food."
Taking up the standard to be main
tained the measure provides that no
milk sold shall contain more than 8"Vi
per cent, of water fluids or less than
12',i per cent, of milk solids, 3l per
cent, of which latter must be butter
fat. No cream shall be sold which con
tains less than 18 per cent, of butter
fat, or which has been adulterated with
any deleterious substance. No dealer
Is to be allowed to sell skim milk with
out marking all cans containing this
kind of milk with the words "Skim
Milk" in lcttets at lease V,i inches
high.
INSPECTION OP DAIRIES.
The ordinance then provides that the
health officer or any other employe of
tho board of health Is to be permitted
at any and all times to Inspect tho
dairy and heads of licensed dealers,
and a refusal on the part of said dealer
to allow such an Inspection Is to be
followed by a revocation of his license.
It is provided that it shall be the
duty of tho food Insptetor to make
such Inspections and the board of
health i empowered to appoint, with
thi approval of the councils, such ad
ditional Inspectors as may be necessary
to carry out tho provisions of the mea
sure, compensation to be-fixed by the
board.
In conclusion it Is provided that all
violators of tho ordinance shall be
tried before the mayor or any alderman
of the city and shall be fined not less
than $10 or more than $100. in default
of tho payment of which he shall be
Imprisoned In tho county jail for a
term of not more than thirty days.
In addition to considering the above
ordinance the committee adopted a
penalty clause to be added to the rules
prohibiting the exposure of fresh meat
outBlde butcher shops. This clause
fixes tho penalty at not less than $.
nor more than $10 for each violation
of the rules.

VOU CANNOT successfully educate yourself through the mails by
enrolling with one of our Imitators. You are certain to lose the
money you pay for tuition, because their methods of Instruction are
Illogical, and the results without value to any one desiring educa
tion for its practical use.
Our system of Correspondence Instruction In the Industrial
Sciences was originated in The International Correspondence Schools, of Scranton,
Pa., in October, 1891. Since that time, we have taught the Theory of the
Engineering-Trades arTd Professions, as well as Mechanical and Architectural
Drawing, to thousands of industrial workers, and have qualified them for respon
sible positions. Our rolls contain the names of students in every part of the civil
ized world.
That a method or an invention should thus extend around the globe, and rapidly
grow in favor with the lapse of time, Is proof positive of intrinsic value.
These great results have teen achieved by original methods of teaching
methods especially adapted to the end in view. Our Instruction and Question
Papers and our Drawing Plites differ widely from school and college textbooks,
and cost us over 8300,000 to prepare and our Imitators are compelled to employ a
cheaper but an utterly impracticable mcthod-r-that of using textbooks of colleges
and the universities. "
If the industrial classes could learn drawing and the mathematical and physi
cal sciences from ordinary textbooks, there would have bsen no held for The
International Correspondence Schools, and our grand army of 160,000 students
could never have been assembled. ,
Our Instruction and Question" Papers, and Drawing Plates, differ from the
textbooks used by students in the regular schools in the following important
respects:
FIRST? ey are mastered more easily and in
leSS time. The theories and demonstrations of science
its abstractions are always difficult. Our textbooks contain only the facts,
principles, and processes a solutely required by the student in his trade or pro
fession. These are usually easy to learn and to apply. The workingman has not
the time to study all the matter contained in the school and college textbooks,
neither does his work require him to be strong in abstract theory. In the prepar
ation of our Instruction Papers, neither time nor expense is spared to secure the
greatest possible simplicity and ease of application. We do not occupy the time
of our students in the study of the derivation of rules and formulas; we teach
them how to apply rules and formulas.
SECOND: TheU are m0re Poetical. ordinary school
"- v v" " and college textbooks, such as are used by our Imitators,
contain no examples relating to Mining, Aechanlcs, Steam hngineering. Electricity,
Architecture, Plumbing, Heating, Ventilation, Sheet-Metal Pattern Drafting, or
Civil Engineering. In each of our Courses, the examples and processes refer
directly to the trades or professions of the class of students for whom the Course
was prepared: so that from the beginning our students are getting valuable
knowledge and are learning to apply it.
THIRD: 0ur textbooks are written by men strong
both in theory and practice. The authors of
textbooks intended for use in colleges and universities have thorough scientific
training, indeed, but they have little or none ot the knowledge that can be gained
only by doing by experience. They do not know, and. therefore, omit to men. ion
in their bjoks the way In which innumerable scientitic facts may be applied in
simple operations of the trades or professions. These applications of science are
familiar only to the expert both in theory and practice, and only such men are em
ployed as Editors and Instructors by the Management of these Schools.
FOURTH' Tne men that make our textbooks su-
pervise the instruction of our students.
No one can teach the contents of a book so well as the man that wrote the book;
he knows better than any one else what Is in tiie book, why it is there, and its
Importance with reference to the other parts of the entire subject.
FIFTH' They are frequently revised. Being private
property, protected by copyright, school and college textbooks
cannot be changed at the pleasure of those that use them. In order to correct w.iat
is wrong, improve what is faulty, smootn away difficulty, and Insert what is of
later duov eiy, changes must be made verv frequently. Our Instruction Papers
belong to lis; and in our Editorial Department, they are in constant comparison
with what is latest and best; faults, omissions, and crudities of every km J are
therefore remedied without delay. In thu case of textbooks on Applied Physical
Sciencs. the need of revision occurs with special frequency. Take Electrical books,
for evuuple; manv works on this subject printed five years ago are now nearly
worthless, for the reason that they are out ot date.
SIXTH' We teach industrial drawing by an origi-
' nal and very successful method, m Mechan
ical and Architectural Drawing, special Plates were prepared at an enormous
expense both In time anil money, iney nave ueen copyrighted because they em- S
body a method of Instruction entirely new one that has been extraordinarily pro- 1
ductive of practical results. 0
Our students in drawing make as rapid progress in learning and become as
proficient as the students of the regular schools and colleges. The principles un- fl
deriving our svstem of teaching drawing are entirely different from those in the 1
s stems employed in the regular school , colleges, and universities, and there Is M
no other system by which drawing Is taught as successfully through the mails. Z
Any system of education for people with limited time to devote to study by 0
the correspondence method that relies on the use of bdiool and college textbooks fl
will end in failure; the student that pays his money for su:h tuition will get nore- Jz
turns. 4
If you want to educate ourself In the theory of your trade or profession, If M
vou want to become a draftsman or to add to your earning capacity the strength S
that COMES FROM THE UNION OF SCIENCC WITH PRACTICE-, we can help '
