It is a notable trait of the American people that, no matter how humble their circumstances, they nre as am bltous as their more fortunate neigh bors of securing for their children the best instruction In literature, science or music. There are few homes with out) a piano, but, until the advent of the Faelton method, piano instruction under the best teachers was a luxury to be enjoyed by the few, and the re mainder had to be contented with what they could get'. Dut with the Faelton methods, as taught in the Scranton Conservatory of MubIc, the poor and rich 'can alike afford teachers of long experience and superior training. "Whether considered from Its ability to produce musicians, or from its finan cial aspect, this method answers to the term "ideal." m Boys, have you heard the Serfls Al pine club, of Boston? If not. take a run around to Peter Zelgler's Elk cafe on Franklin avenue and enjoy some excellent music. Smoke The Pocono, So. cigar. BORN. OOAMB9.

A parade Is to bo held before celebration, however, and he has assured Mr. Hang! that he will nllow no firing of fireworks along the line of march. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

How miny are there of us, save those subject to Its tender care, can begin to realize Its alue In this com munity. Tho hospital stands a colossal and an enduring monument to tho name of its founder. It presents an unmistakable token of his hu manity to suffering man and by its erection his name is endeared to many who may or may not hac occasion to participate in its careful treat ment, the doors of which stand open wide to all of every dime. Its mission of mercy is beyond comprehension, except to those of its management and others who year in and year out administer to tho af flicted ones, She is blessed and thrice blessed whose life Is devoted to the care of the lick ami suffcilng, Its deceased founder will be extolled for all time for his philanthropic act.

CONDITION DOES NOT WARRANT RELEASE EVERHART ON THE VERGE OF PHYSICAL COLLAPSE. His Liberation from Jail Is Now a Very Indefinite- Thing Says Him self Ho Does Not Want to Go Out Till Ho More Fully RecovorB His Physical and Mental Strength. Strain Which Ho Has Undergone, Has Shattered His Nerves His Father's Position. There Is. now, no telling when Ed win E. Evcrhart will be released from Jail. He is in a condition, physically Bpeaklng, that borders on collapse, and until he regains his strength It is thought best not to permit htm to be at large. Warden W. T. Simpson, who became an expert In the treatment of such cases, during his long service as desk serceant at the old Center street bas tlle, lu personally attending to Ever lmrt. Ho has succeeded tn bringing his patient out of the tremens, with which he was attacked when first Imprisoned, and hopes In a short time to have his nerves settled sufficiently to warrant his being set at liberty. When Everhart was brought in, the warden's trained eye saw that tho prisoner was on tho verge of the "Jim jams," and at once took steps to straighten him out. Tho debtor's cell, which adjoins the keeper's office and which Is occupied by Richard Little, tho Sunday Scrantonlan editor, who H serving six months for libel, was as signed to Everhart, that he might be closely watched by the keepers and his fellow-occupant, It being feared that harm might come to him If he was placed in one of the corridor cells. BECAME DELIRIOUS. He became delirious for a time, but the treatment applied by Warden Simpson checked the working of tho alcoholic poisoning nnd In a day and night ho was brought safely through tho attack. The medicine which the warden ap plies, and which Is known In the sta tion houses ns "bug juice," is an heroic remedy and when heroically applied, as It had to bo in Everhart's desper ate case, has a fearfully debilitating effect. Everhart was shaking all over like an aspen leaf when a Tribune re porter saw him yesterday afternoon. He said he expected to go out yester day, but when he found himself so weak and nervous, he concluded that the best thing to do was to remain In the jail and have Warden Simpson finish his course of treatment. "I have made only &. partial state ment of my side of the case," Ever hart said to The Tribune reporter. "What I have said was only to let the public, and particularly my friends, know that there are two sides to the story, and that I am not as bad us my enemies woud have me painted. "I will make a further and complete statement when I recover my full senses, and corroborate certain things that I want to be able to positively prove, and of which. Just at present, 1 have only a hazy recollection. "Lewis' story will be viewed differ ently from what It Is now, when I get through with him. "I will also show that I never stole a dollar In my life, and that" those checks, which It is alteged I forged, were my own checks, given on my own account for gambling debts, and that the only trouble about them resulted from my having stopped payment on them." REITERATED STATEMENT. He emphatically reiterated his state ment of the previous day, that Lewis broached the crime to him, and that it was his firm opinion Lewis was not alone In the conspiracy. Attorney Clarence Ballentlne, who defended Everhart at rtv.lay's heating corroborates his client's claim that he could have secured ball If he wanted it. Mr. Ballentlne says Everhart was of fered his release Saturday, but would not accept It, preferring to stay In jail till he could get; the liquor out of his system. The man who Is become Ev erhart's bondsman, according to Mr. Ballentlne's statement, Is an intimate friend of Dr. Everhart. Had Everhart's father been done away with the eon, it was supposed, would have come immediately Into vast wealth. As explained previously in The Tribune, this is erroneous. The father had his estate so tied up in his will that the son could receive only sufficient to barely maintain him. Now It Is ns good as certain that he will get nothing except what will be dealt out to him through an attorney or other agent to start him in business in South Africa. Despite this fact, the Rlnsland trespass suit is being proceeded with. A hearing was had yesterday morn ing before Arbitrators L. P. Wedeman, Russell Dlmmlck and John F. Murphy and the testimony of four more wit nesses was presented by the plaintiff, City Assessor Philip Rlnsland tending to corroborate the story told by his sister of the Intimacy of Everhart nnd Mrs. Rlnslnnd, on occasions when she and her "gentleman friend," Healey made up a quartette that went to New York, Clifford or some other place on a protracted lark. HAD A SNAP, HE SAID. Robert Healey, a boy who worked in Everhart's brass foundry, told of hav ing carried notes from Everhart to Miss Cherries, Berries, Pines. Headquarters. E. G. COURSEN Wholesale and Retail. Rlnsland: the bookkeeper at the brnos works told that' Everhart had repeat edly' spoken to him of "having a snap" nnd left it to bo Inferred that Mrs. Rlnsland was associated with it. Mrs. nlnsliinil'R parents also told of having heard of their daughter's Intimacy with Everhart' nnd of their having warned her ngalnst unfaithfulness to her husband. They have In their pos session, or had until they turned it over to Vosburg & Dawson, the attor neys for Mrs. Rlnsland, a letter from their daughter, telling them not to worry about the divorce case ns Ever hart was going to marry her and in stall her in his father's house, where she was to become housekeper for the doctor nnd Ed, wear the Everhart' dia monds and eventually share with Ed in tho Evcrhart estate. Attorney 1. II. Burns, contrary to expectations, wns on hand to look nfter tho defense. When tho Everhart ar rest was made known last Friday a hearing In the trespass ense was on, nnd at Mr. Burns' suggestion It wns continued until yesterday. He said he didn't see much use In further de fending the case nnd supposed Rlnsland would bo allowed to get Judgment by default. Mr. Burns, however, ap peared yesterday, and cross-examined the witnesses quite ns searehlngly ns he did nt the previous hearings, en deavoring to bring out Hint tho Rlns land family, husband, wife and slater, conspired to entrap Everhart and "badger" him out of a good portion of his money, Tho hearing was continued nt noon until next Tuesday. An nuthorltatlvc statement was last night given Tho Tribune for publica tion, to the effect that Dr. Evcrhart does not encourage or countenance the steps that nre being taken to provide his son with a bondsman, and tho al legation is made that these stories wero fathered with the end In view of Influencing some friend of tho Ever hart famllv to think thnt ho will bo doing tho father a favor to go ball for tho son. It was hoped that this statement would set all such stories at rest. FROM WEST CHESTER. The following was printed In tho Philadelphia Inquirer yesterday ns a special dispatch from West Chester: "Edwin E. Everhart, who Is In prlon nt Scranton m the charge of plotting the murder of his father, Dr. I. P. Everhart, Is the only direct heir to property In this place valued at nearly one million dollars. Tho Everhoct es tate Is probably the most valuable In West Chester. In time, If not claimed by young Everhart or his father, alt this property will revert to the state of Pennsylvania. "The Everharts In this place nre' Benjamin F. nnd Dr. John R., brothers of the late Congressman James 13. Everhart and first cousins of Dr. Eil wln E. Everhart. They are both un married and their nearest relatives are the Everharts In Scranton. "William Everhart, the father of the Evcrhart family of this place, left a will by which the latter became Joint owners In his vast estate in case they did not marry, but If they did so they lose their interest. It was also pro vided that they cannot will the prop erty to any person, nnd upon their deaths It would naturally revert either to Dr. I. F. Everhart or his son Ed win E., although It ErL'med to be the wish of William Everhart that it should go to the state upon tho death of his children." CAN BUILD BRANCH ROAD Decision by Judge Weiss at Harris burg in Favor of Erie and Wyo ming Valley Railroad Co. The following Associated Press was received by The Tribune last night: "Harrlsburg, June 26. Judge Weiss handed down an opinion today In favor of the Erie and Wyoming Valley Rail road company in which he finds thnt the company has the right to construct a branch road from Hawley, Wayne county, to Lackawaxen, Pike county. "Under this decision, If it is sus tained by the higher courts, the inde pendent coal producers will have an outlet to tidewater over the abandoned bed of the Delaware and Hudson canal to Kingston."
