THE SCI"? ANTON TJUBUNJfi-KKlDAV, JULY 27, 1000. LACKAWANNA COUNTY. CARBONDALE. CHALLENGE CAME PBOMPTLY. Mr. Garr Was Omitted, but May Stand for Mr. Bryden. The publication In yesterday's Trib une of Professor Hockenucrrv's Inten tion to challenge Principal Bryden, of the high school, created quite a sen sation. The challenge came promptly, however, Just ns was said It would. Only Professor Uryden was chal lenged, but If Tie does not care to ac cept the challenger has given him, the option of substituting any friend In any way connected with the schools. In view of the novel method oro. posed to settle a question of this kind and of the prominence of the princi pals in educational circles throughout the state, the exact wording of the challenge will be of general Interest. It should be stated that the chal lenger was trained for his profession In a state normal school, while the challenged Is a graduate of Lafayette. Appended Is the challenge: "A certain man Is said to have once prayed! 'O Lord save me from my friends.' Perhaps Professor Uryden should offer the same prayer. I have no 111 feeling against the gentleman but his friends have had so much ti say recently about my abilities that no fair minded man can.blame mo for the action which I now take. "I hereby challenge W. 1). Uryden to a competitive examination upon all the branches taught in the Carbon dale public school. In order that this xamlnatlon shall be fair and open it must be public and oral, I suggest the following method: One or two branches of study shall be taken up at each meeting. These subjects shall be discussed by topic and the other be privileged to ask questions upon that topic. Then the other shall discuss a topic and his opponent ask questions. This shall bo continued until the sub jects shall have been exhausted or until we are both satisfied. "This will allow the public to form a fair estimate of how murh we know about the subjects taught in our school. If Mr. Uryden enters this examination and passes it better than I do, I pledge myself to vote for him ns principal of our high school and to do all that I can to secure his elec tion. "If Mr. Bryden declines, and he dare not do otherwise, then I offer him th privilege of substituting for himself any friend whom he may have, who Is connected in any olllcial capacity with the schools of Carbondale, all the other conditions of the examination to remain the same. "Surely If Mr. Bryden Is so cultured and so up to date he will welcome thi.i opportunity to prove his superiority before our citizens. I have asked only what Is fair. Let him toe the mark or call off the pack which Is yelping for him. II. J. Ilockenberry." A UNION STATION P A rumor was going the rounds yes terday to the effect that the Delaware and Hudson and Rrle companies will erect a I'nion station at the westerly end of Salem avenue and that tho present city station will be converted into a freight house. The desirability of having a more centrally located freight house has long been recognized but the expense of the city station makes the plan seem Improbable.

IS IT RIGHT For an Editor to Recommend Patent Medicines!5 From Slvan Valley News, Hrevartl, N. q , It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of tho various proprietary medicines which flood the markets, yet as a preventive of suffer ing wo feel It a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera nnd Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine In our family for twenty years and have al ways found It reliable. In manv cases n dose of this remedy would sa hours of suffering while a physician Is await ed. We do not believe '.. depending Implicitly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that If a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy wore kept on hand nnd administered at tho inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided and In very mnny cafces the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by all druggists. Matthews Bros., wholesale and retail agents. OLYPHANT.

JERMYN AND MAYFIBLD Orchestra Open Air Concert Greatly Enjoyed Last Evening by Several Hundred People Band Concerts nnd Social on the M. E. Church Lawn This Evening. Tho open air concert given on tho lawn of St. James church last evening by (lllroy's orchestra, of Arohbald, was a musical treat and attracted several hundred people, many of whom were Trom Archbald, Mayfleld and Carbon dale. The programme as published was carried out and the vast audience frequently showed thlr appreciation with liberal applause. One of the best numbers was the "Komance," In which the principal part, a trombone solo, was played with excellent effect by Thomas Douthwnlte. "We trust the or chestra will at some future time again give the people of the borough an opportunity to hear them. The congregation of the Methodist Episcopal church will hold a lawn so cial this evening at which the Citizens band will be present and render the following programme: March, "Ace of Spades," Byrnan; selection, "Gems of Modern Melody:" round waltz, "Bed of Hoses," Keller: song and dance, "Mandollna," Kelfer: cornet solo by Klljah Stephens; grand fantasia pol- I ka "Stella," Hall; overture, "Golden Wand," Lnurendeau; overture, "Bev el," Petteo; march, "The Countersign," Althouse; "America." The Mayfleld band will also give a concert tonight on tho lawn of J. W. Grant, on South Main street, when they will give the following pro gramme: March, "The Man Behind the Gun" Sousa: overture, "Poet nnd Peasant," Suppe: medley selection, Southern Plantation," Conturno; waltzes, "Wedding of the Winds," Hall; medley overture, "Slam Bang;" Alberta; grand selection from opera of "Martha," Plotow; march, "Union For ever," Scouton. It Is rather unfortunate that the two concerts were arranged for the one evening, but wo bollevo neither band knew at the time of the other's ar rangement. It Is probable the May field band's concert vvill not commence until tho close of that by tho Citizen's band on the lawn of the Methodist Episcopal church We would suggest that the chief of poller be around and keep his eye on some of the small children who on these occasions think they are licensed to run around nnd disturb those who ara anxious to enjoy the music. This was the ense last evening for the tlrst two numbers, when the chief happened to pass and he quickly put a stop to the nolso these small boys and girls were mak ing.

Has Been Subjected to Much Un deserved Census. Edward S. Ellis, in a Letter to the New York Sun. It did me good to read the jovial let ter of your Utica correspondent, and still more good to read your genial editorial "The Novels of Mr. Geadlo." You will understand the cause of this pleasure on my part when I state that I'm the fellow who wrote "Seth Jones." "Tho Hunter's Cabin," and a whole lot of Ueadlo's dime novels, the names of which at this day I cannot recall. Out of that revelry of pen and Imagination, I have but a solitary memento "Seth Jones," which a Hrooklyn friend pre sented to me some time since. It seems a good while ago, when I was In my teens, that I timidly sent tho MS. of "Seth Jones" to tho pub Usher, and In return received a llbernl check and the Invitation to sign a con tract, which I did with boyish eager ness, after which, for several yearn, you couldn't hold me. Tho first dime novel was written by Ann S. Stephens, nnd associated with her were Col. A. J. II. Duganne, Mrs. Mary A. Donlson, Captain Mayne Reld nnd a well-known Episcopal clergyman who wrote under a nom de plume. Bret Harte, some time later, made a partial agreement to Join this corps, but accepted an offer from another publisher. So I believed I wbb in good company. I have never thought that those dime novels had much literary merit, but I often felt in later years that they wero unjustly condemned. In the first place, ns you have stated, they were clfan: there was nothing "Frenchy" in their make up and to quote from the North American Review, of July, ISCi, they did not pander to vice In the remotest form. If the incidents were stirring, the heroes were men, not boys, and there was no temptation held out to The People's iJtiVt A POPULAR CUvAKING HOUSE for tlto Holism nt All Win Hnvo Houses to Rent, Real Ksttite or Other Property to Sell or Exchnniie, or Who Want Situations or Help Theia Small Advertisements Cost One Cent a Word, Six Insertions for Five Cents u Word Except Situation Wanted.

In my own case, I know I was always conscientious, and more than once Mr. Victor, tho accomplished editor, told me I put too much religion nnd morality in my stories. This may sound incredible, but Mr. Vic tor, the only surviving member of the old house of '98 William street,' will confirm it. I saw "Seth Jones" translated Into several lan guages, and myself claimed as a na tive of other lands, while the sale went Into the hundred thousands. 1 have written a good many juvenilis since but they are bound In cloth, sell for $1.25 a volumj, are admitted to have the right kind of a moral tone, may bo found in hundreds of Sunday school libraries, and yet they are no better In the respect named than the old-time dime novel. Tho disrepute into which the dime novel fell, however, had Its cause. One day Mr. Ileadle pointed out an em ploye to whom ho waa paying $10 a week. "He is from Nova Scotia," he said, "and the best thing about him is that he Is absolutely satisfied with his situation. He will never ask for nn advance In wages, nor seek any other situation." Six weeks from that day this employe quietly threw up his job, and In conjunction wlth Ir win P. Readle began publishing tho "Ten Cent Novels," Then this former employe, George L. Munroo quietly got rid or Mr. Ileadle and be gan his career as a publisher which made him a mll llnnalte several times over. Those cheap novels were the stepping stone to his fortune, and if there was over unmitigated trash, they belonged to that class. But they had a prodigious sale, and Mr. Beadle, against my pro test, began lowering the tone of his publications to the same plane and I quit. Thus, with some Justice, the "dime novel" became synonym for trash, sensationalism nnd nearly all that is degrading in literature. I grow to detest the name, and was glad when they passed out of existence. Perhaps I may be pardoned In a note so personal as this to refer to the pleasure that Is mine In meeting edi tors and persons In far more exalted situations than myself, who have nothing hut kind words for me; and In the receipt of letters from boys and girls In every part of the country, from England, India, Australia and the uttermost parts of the earth. One of my last was from a husky youth In the interior of New Zealand, who among other things wrote that If any person darad to deny the unapproach able merits (!) of my Juveniles "he would feel the weight of a colonial list right between tho eyes." Finally, although the dime novel came and went a long time ago, I don't wish any one to consider me as In the ranks of old men. That limit Is still a good way off. Among the hundreds of cadets here nt the Military academy there isn't one who feels younger than I, and my love of boyhood, true manli ness, honest enjoyment and exuberant spirits and nil that is for the true wcl faro of the rising generation is as deep, as true and as fervent as ever.
