DAVID BROWN REAPPOINTED
MASTER MECHANIC.
HeYesterday Resumed His Old Posi
tion with the D., L. & W.' Com
pany Conference of the Master
Mechanics of the Road with Super
tendent Lloyd Lackawanna Com
pany Does Not Intend to Make Ex
tensive Improvements Here nt This
Time The Board for Today.
David Brown, of S26 Mulberry street,
who was master mechanic of the Dot
aware, Lackawanna nnd Western com
pany In this city for many years, and
who tendered his resignation several
months ago, yesterday resumed his old
position with the company.
Mr. Brown was re-nppolntcd by
Superintendent Lloyd yesterday and
was immediately called Into consulta
tion with the division master me
chanics. The product ot Mr. Brown's
inventive genius Is In evidence In many
respects today on the Lackawanna road
and his selection by Superintendent
Lloyd Is an evidence that his services
are invaluable to the company. He
will .return to the company's employ
under similar conditions to those he
enjoyed prior to his resignation.
H. J. Robinson, who has been night
watchman at the car shops for n num
ber of years, has been appointed to
Mr. Warner's place at Clark's.Summlt.
These appointments are the result of
the management's determination to
promote men now in the employ of the
company who are ambitious and de
serve to be recognized.
Repairs Being Made on Cars.
A number of the vestlbuled coaches
now in use on the Lackawanna main
lino are being turned In the repair
shops as quickly us possible and when
they are turned out again will bo prac
tically new. The vestibules are being
broadened, steel platforms will take
the place of the wooden ones now in
use nnd many other changes will be
made.
The cars will nlso be equipped with
high baciv seats and new upholsterlngs
and furnishings. The company pro
poses to make their rolling stock sec
ond to none in the countrv and by
concentrating nearly all the repair
work at tho Scranton shops, under the
personal supervision of Master Cur
Builder Canlield, they expect to ac
complish that end.
k
Master Mechanics' Conference.
AH of the master mechanics of the
Lackawanna railroad were called to
this city yesterday to confer with T.
-. Lloyd, the new superintendent of
motive power and machinery, and the
entire afternoon was taken ud In a
general discussion of the working plans
which Mr. Lloyd proposes to inaugu
rate. Among those who attended the con
ference were It. F. Kilpatrlck, of the
Morris and Essex division; Charles
Graham, of the Buffalo division; F. W.
Williams, of the Syracuse division;
David Brown, of this city; Master
Painter B. E. Miller, of this city; D.
E. Casey, traveling engineer, and J.
A. Mellon, chief draughtsman.
The conference was held In Mr.
Lloyd's private ofllce, and it could not
be learned what the future policy will
lc It is known, however, that all of
the men were well pleased with the
results of the meeting and were much
impressed with Mr. Lloyd's practical
suggestions.
Will Take a Short Vacation.
L. T. Canlield, master car builder of
the Lackawanna system, went to New
York last night to arrange for a short
vocation- and a much needed rest,
which he contemplates taking the lat
ter part of this week. He will -return
today and nrrange some minor details
with his clerical force, which, Is now
thorough organized, to permit" him to
leave matters temporarily in their
hands.
On Saturday next, in company with
his -wife and two daughters, .Mr. Can
field -will leuvo for Buffalo, and after
a short stop-over there, will continue
through- to Chicago, where they -will
spend a few days. Later they .will go
to Caldwell, Kansas, where Mr. Can
flild'has some friends whom he In
tend visiting. There Is a possibility
or 'the master car builder going to
Nfew- Orleans' before hie return. The
trip Is. arranged entirely for visiting,
pleasure and rest and Mr. Canlield
contemplates being uway from his of
fice about three weeks.
uperintendent Russell Was Here.
When the Buffalo express reached
this city yesteraay afternoon at 3.30
o'clock General Superintendent E. G.
Russell stepped out on the platform
and was greeted by Superintendents
Daly, Salisbury, Loomts, Chief O'Keefo.
Engineer, Warner, Dispatcher Ryan
and others. He looked very much im
proved and said that he felt 80 per
cent, better than he did a month ago,
when he was granted a leave of ab
sence on account of 111 health.
Mr. Russell did not stop over, but
continued on to New York and will sail
In a few days for a sea voyage to
Venezuela. Ho expects to bo ubsent
about a month, and upon his return
will assume his responsibilities with
the company.
During tho past few weeks Mr. Rus

Shops Will Work Ten Hours.
The employes of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western car shops were
notified yesterday that the schedule ot
working hours has been changed, and,
commencing this morning, all the
hands will work ten hours a day until
further orders.
During the winter months the men
have been steadily employed nine hours
each day and the increased demand
for cars necessitates the change to
ten hours, he order was received by
the men with much satisfaction.
Changes iu Car Department.
Alexander Nlcol, who has been fore
man! of the car' department at tho
Kingston chops for a number of years,
resigned on Saturday, and has been
irocceeded. by Charles Warner, until
recently foreman of repairs at Clurk's
Summit.
A car ago Mr. Warner was work-iBtfrai.-a-
car repairer In the Delaware,
Lackawanna and'Wpstem yard at 17V&
cents an h'our, but Mr. Canlield recog
nlitd In him a man worthy of promotion-
and sent him to Clark's Summit,
where ho demonstrated his ability. His
at)polntrnrit to the foremanshlp at
Kingston is the second advancement
ia-lcstUhan-a-'vcar.
Many Hen Laid Off.
Nearly all the men employed In the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
car shops at Kingston have been laid
off. The order was received on Satur
day and tho men were notified that
their services were no longer required.
This practically does away with the
car shops at Kingston, as qnly a few
men will bo retained their, ordinary
laborers who will oil cars and do patch
work.
The force In the shops has been grad
ually reduced until only some thlrty
flvo men were affected by the order.
Some of the men were transferred n
week or two ago to the frog and switch
shop. It Is not known whether the
men laid off on Saturday evening will
be given employment elsewhere.
General- Foreman Alexander Nlcol, It
Is also understood, Is affected by the
order, and whether he will be trans
ferred to Scranton could not be learned.
The Kingston shqps are gradually
being tuken away, and It Is evident
that by another year little will bo left
of that former busy plant, which gave
employment to a large number of men
year In and year out. Wilkes-Barro

elected members after which council
adjourned until Thursday night. This
was not done, however, until Mr.
Roche had Introduced a resolution pro
viding for a Joint session next Monday
night to elect a city engineer.
While things were passing off
smoothly In select council there was
quite a little excitement in tho com
mon branch where everything, be It
said, did not pass off as had been an
ticipated. The only new member in
this branch Is Daniel Onlvln, of tha
Twelfth ward, and after he had taken
his seat Clerk Jones called the meeting
to order. Nominations for temporary
chairman being In order, 'Mr. Coleman
placed the name of P. F. Calpln before
tho house and Mr. Godshall named Lu
ther Kellpr. Mr. Calpln was elected by
the following vote:
Calpln Grler, Keller. Ruane, Gal
vln, Wenzel, Phillips, Coleman, T. F.
Morris, Smith, Cuslck. Norton 11.
Keller Reese, M. V. Morris, Grif
fiths, Godshall, Zlzelman, Tewkesbury,
Naegll, Harvey, Watklns, Calpln 10.
It will be seen from tho above vote
that William J. Smith, the Republican
member "flopped" over to the Demo
cratic side, giving them a majority.
This made things look rather shaky
for the Republican side of the house.
When Mr. Calpln had taken the chair
he called for nominations for .perman
ent chairman.
Mr. Zlzleman placed the name of Mr.
Griffiths In nomination, while Mr. Cole
man nominated Mr. Calpln. Mr. Grif
fiths was elected by the following vote:
GrimthS Reese. M. V. Morris. Grlf.

IGNORED POLITICAL LUN'ES.
It will be seen by the above vote
that Messrs. Phillips and Wenzel came
over from tho Democratic to'the Re
publican side, while Mr. Smith stayed
with the Democrats. The latter had
pledged his support to Mr. Griffiths in
the Republican cacus, so that his ac
tion came as a surprise to the members
of his part. The Democrats had no
caucus, so that Messrs. Phillips and
Wenzeljiad been pledged to no, one in.
particular. Had tho Democrats cau
cused th ings might. ha,ve been different.
Mr. Grlfllths was sworn ln'"by the
mayor and made a' real .elf ectlve little
speech of thanks. The election of a
clerk was then proceeded with.
Mr. Keller placed the name of Hugh
Jones In nomination,- speaking of him
as "a man who', has filled the position
of clerk very excellently and a man
who should receive the vote of at least
every Republican member In tho coun
cil." Mr. Grief then placed the name
of William Lynott, of thp Third ward,
In nomination without comment and
tho latter was elected by the following
vote:
Lynott Grler. Calpln. Ruane, Phil
llns, Galvln, Wonzel. Coleman, T. F.
Morris, Smith, Cuslck, Norton 11.
Jones Reese, M. V. Morris, Griffiths,
Godshall, Zlzelman, Tewkesbury, Naeqr

In this Instance tho flop of Mr. Smith
was the unlooked for event, Mr. Jones'
re-election having been generally con
sidered very sure. Tho new clerk was

OV 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 arc
Illogical, and the results without value to any one desiring educa
tion for its practical use.
Our system of Correspondent 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 and 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 Uffse of time, Is proof positive of intrinsic value.
These great results have been achieved by original methods of teaching
methods especially adapted to the end in view. Our Instruction and Question
Papers and our Drawing Plates 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 method 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 been no field for The
International Correspondence Schools, and our grand army of :6o,ooo students
could never have been assemblrd.
Our instruction and Question Papers, and Drawing Plates, differ from the
textbooks used by students in the regular schools In the following important
respects:
THIRD: 0ur textbooks are written bij men strong
both in theory and practice. Tne authors of
textbooks intendeJ for use in colleges and universities have thorough scientific
training, indeed, but they have little or none of the kno U-dge that can be gained
onlv by doing by experience. They do not know, and. therefore, omit to mention
in their books, the way in which innumerable scientific facts may be applied in
simple operations oi the trades or professions. These applications of science are
familiar only to the expert both In theory and practice, a id only such men are era
ployed as Editors and Instructors by the Management of these Schools.
O
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 tha man that wrote the book;
he knows better than any one else what Is In the book, why it is there, and its
importance with reference to the other parts of the entire subject.
FIFTH' Tne'J are frequently revised. Being private
" property, protected by copyright, school ami college textbooks
cannot be changed at the pleasure of those that use them. In order to correct what
is wrong, improve what is faulty, smooth away difficulty, and insert what is of
later dlscDvery, changes must be made very frequently. Our Instruction Papers
belong to us ; and In our Editorial Department, they are in constant comparison
with what is latest and test; faults, omissions, and crudities of every kmd are
therefore remedied without delay. In the case of textbooks on Applied Physical
Science, the need of revision occurs with special frequency. Take Electrical books,
for example; many works on this subject printed five years ago are now nearly
worthless, for the reason that they are out of date.

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 aro getting valuable
knowledge and are learning to apply it.
Our students In drawing make as rapid progress in learning and become as
proficient as the students of the regular schools and colleees. The principles un
derlying our system of teaching drawing are entirely different from those in ths
systems employed In the regular schools, colleges, and universities, and there Is
no other system by which drawing Is taught as successfully through the mails.
Any system of education for people with limited time to devote to study by
the correspondence method that relies on the uss of school and colleg textbooks
will end in failure; the student that pays his mon-y for such tuition will get no re
turns. If you want to educate yourself In tho theory of your trade or profession, if
you want to become a draftsman or to add to vour earninz. capacity the strength
that COMES PROM THO IINION OF SCIENCE WITH PRACTICE, we can help
