YOUNO GIRL RESCUED.
Mrs. Duggan Saves Wayward Lass
from, Very Bad Companions.
Through the prompt action of a
Lackawanna avenue hotelkeeper In
notifying Mrs. Duggan, agent for the
Associated Charities, a young girl,
whose name Is withheld, was Thurs
day night taken into charge by Mrs.
Duggan, and rescued from the com
pany of a central city mendicant.
Tho girl is only sixteen years of ago,
and Thursady night entered the hotel
with her companion, who Is a cripple.
The couple asked for beer, but wers
refused it by tho bartender. Tho pro
prietor of tho place then called up Mrs.
Duggan by 'phono, nnd she arrived on
the scene a few moments later, and
took the girl In charge.
The cripple objected forcibly to being
separated from his companion, vowing
that she was his cousin. IIo was un
able to tell Mrs. Duggan tho girl's
name, however, and on her hinting
that unless he ceased his remon
strances tho aid of tho police would
bo asked, ho proceeded to make him
self scarce about tho promises.
Mrs. Duggan took the girl to her
office in the city hall, and after a good
deal of persuasion managed to learn
her Identity. The parents were then
notified and removed their wayward
daughter from Mrs. Duggan's caro.
They are persons of excellent stand
ing, stud were exceedingly grateful for
the service done them.
AN ENTERPRISING HOUSE.
"What is home without a piano?"
is just ns appropriate a saying as
"What is home without a mother?"
In fact, today no home is complete
without a piano, and this statement
is more literally exact where there are
children in tho family. No girl's edu
cation can In any sense bo complete
without the accomplishment of being
able to play a piano. It Is a very
necessary adjunct of a girl's educa
tion. There are various grades of
pianos, as there are different grades
of other commodities. A cheap piano
Is not cheap at any ptiee, and Intend
ing purchasers should feel favored
when directed to a good, reliable firm,
whom it is gratifying to recommend.
It is our privilege to refer to tho en
terprising music firm of George W.
Finn, at 13S Wyoming avenue.
This concern Is tho local represen
tative for tho celebrated Stleff Piano;
an Instrument noted for Its remark
able rich, singing tone quality, delica
cy of action, style of finish and un
equaled durability. These Instru
ments have been before the public for
more than half a century and have
undergone the most exacting tests,
yet never have they developend a
point of weakness. While the Stleffs
are considered ultra, conservative In
their business methods, they never
sacrifice quality of material or work
manship to cheapness of price, and
their liberal policy In tho treatment
of their employes, accounts to a great
extent for their uninterrupted ad
vancement through all thso years of
progress,
A fino assortment of these magnifi
cent Instruments, In the various nrt
designs nnd woods, have just been re
ceived nt Finn's, and wo doubt that
a better stock to make a selection
from can bo found nnywhere. Custo
mers will make no mistake by deal
ing with this house, ns their responsi
bility Is undoubted and second to none
in Scranton. This firm carries other
makes to suit all conditions, and n
visit cannot fall to Interest anyone
looking for a piano. In addition they
also carry a special lino of music nnd
small Instruments, violins, banjos, gui
tars, mandolins and musical mer
chandise. m

Burkhard Moser Heirs to Bring Suit
to Recover Coal Lands.
The attorney for tho heirs ot Burk
hard Moser, some of whom live In this
city, has announced that nfter a three
years' search ho has succeeded In o
curlng a brief of title to the rich coal
fields In Schuylkill county, valued at
many million dollars, which tho three
hundred and twenty-five heirs have
been seeking to obtain possession of for
many years back.
Tho heirs, who have formed them
selves Into an association known as tho
Purkhard Moser Heirs' association,
will bring suits In the Pottsvlllo courts
this coming winter for a title to the
lands. The facts In this peculiar case
aro well known In this city.
Moser died In 1828, unmarried, and
the property, which comprises some
416 acres of the most valuable coal
land In the state, passed In the course
of time Into other hands. The Lehigh
Coal and Navigation company have
had possession since 1868 nnd It Is said
refused an offer of $7,000,000 a few years
ngo for one of the mines located on
tho land.
COAL OPERATORS'
AUGUST LETTER
Criticizes tho Coal Carrying Com
panies for Lack of Foresight.
Lackawanna Commended.
Tho following is tho text ot tho Au
gust letter of tho Industrial Coal Op
erators' asssoclation:
"The month has shown no change
in the anthracite situation. Besides
the usual mid-summer dullness and
disinclination to labor during the
heated term, the individual operators
and each of the anthracite transport
ing interests aro waiting for the de
cision of the appellate court regard
ing the Delaware Valley nnd Kingston
railroad. Until this is announced, no
definite steps one way or another may
be expected. In the meantime, how
ever, the Erie and Wyoming Valley
railroad Is actively at work enlarging
its terminnls and making other neces
sary preparations to handle tho In
creased tonnage which it will even
tually receive.
"The anthracite transporting com
panies do not appear to be ublo to
rcallzo tho part they arc playing in
the history of this Industry. If they
had the gift of Introspection; If they
could use that esoteric power which Is
now exercised on details of their com
petitors' tonnage, and place themselves
twenty or even ten years hence and
look back over what has been done,
they might be able to see the unut
terable puerility which has charac
terized their conduct for several years
past. To say that they have not and
do not realize the gravity of the situa
tion or that their futile efforts to bet
ter it were not based upon some plan
which they understood, would be to
imply feeble minds. But that they did
not carry out such plans proves con
clusively either their mental inability
to grasp the true importance ot the
situation, or that, feeling Intrenched
behind comfortable salaries, they had
not the desire to add further labors
of thought and action to their pres
ent duties.
"To tho outsider It Is Incredible that
the large flnanotal Interests behind
these railroads should have permitted
them to be conducted In such a man
ner. Not long since, a change was
made in the management of one Inter
est. From that time not only has It
shown better earnings, but has com
pletely reversed the procedure of other
anthracite transporters by assuring
shippers on Its lino of fair treatment
and actually cultivating and encour
aging local industries of all kinds. It
has loft the rut. Tho management,
following the precedent of every well
managed railroad, is developing now
business and not, ns hretofore been
the case, and as holds with the ma
jority of the other anthracite lines,
hiding Itself behind the bulwark of
earnings from anthracite sufficient to
pay losses incurred in other branches.
"The opportunity hns been before
the transporters and they have failed
to see it. Now, new conditions have
arisen as a result of their neglect, A
new factor, an Independent transpor
ter, Is about to enter their field. Their
control of prices and output will be
lost and those who have rested in
musty security will find that the nn
thraclto traffic earnings upon which
they have depended, will fall them.
Methods which they used will sudden
ly prove obsolete and Impossible and
with the decline In earnings will come
the demand from security holders, at
last Impressed, for new methods, now
management, new blood.
"At present the transporters are
resting In fancied security. They Im-.
nglne that they are too firmly seated
to bo moved. But it is the same se
curity as that which brings peaco to
tho mind of the ostrich when Its head
is hidden In the sand and its great,
unsightly body stands high in the air,
a mark for all."

POOR BOARD
UP IN ARMS
OBJECTS TO SHELTERING POOR
OP OTHER DISTRICTS.
Portunntely for Wllkes-Barro, the
Climax Comes Just as tho Luzorne
District Pinds Itself Capable of
Housing Its Own Unfortunates.
Among the Applications for Relief
Were Several Which Revealed
Conditions of Pathetic Destitution.
The Hillside Home will no longer be
mado nn asylum for all the Indigent
and helpless Individuals in this part
of tho state. Superintendent Boemer,
of the Home, reported at yesterday's
meeting of tho poor board that twenty
three paupers who aro proud of the
fact that thoy hail from Wllkes-Barre
and who have beenl'subslstlng on the
bounty of the local poor district, have
now been sent to Luzerne county.
Tho people down tho valley have Just
completed making accommodations for
thoir more unfortunate brethren and,
accordingly, tho score of Luzernltes
who have been eating Lackawanna
bread have now been transferred to
Wllkes-Barre. A man named Walsh,
from Plttston, who has also been re
ceiving treatment at the Home, and
who was ono of the most unruly and
refractory patients at tho institution,
has also been removed, and yesterday
the board rebelled at receiving a man
from Hawley.
Superintendent Becmcr received a
letter from Hawley telling about the
csbo and yesterday stated It to the
board. It seems that Joseph H. Bea
recently fell off of a load of hay and
received injuries which render him
slightly demented. His family are now
eager to have him received at tho
home.
EMPHATIC PROTEST.
This communication was the cause
of a volcanic outburst from Director
Paine, who rose to his feet and em
phatically remarked: "A case like this,
to my mind, ought to be referred to
the state board, instead ot to this body,
and in case it is refused aid, then it is
time to bring It to our notice. All of
these out-of-the-clty cases ought to be
referred to the state board, and not
brought before this body. I move that
Superintendent Boemer be instructed
to reply to the Hawley officials telling
them to apply to the state board,"
The home committee reported that
It held a meeting Wednesday night and
looked over the plans for the proposed
new store house for the home and ad
vised that the building, 25x50 feet and
two stories high, be erected, the upper
story to be used for hospital purposes.
Among the applications for relief
was that of a Mrs. Burke, of Dun-
more, who Is left homeless, destitute
and sick with an Infant child as the
result of the patriotism of her hus
band, who recently visited the recruit
ing station on Wyoming avenue, en
listed under an assumed name and Is
now a soldier boy. Efforts will be
made to have him sign some of his
pay over to his wife, and. In tho mean
while, the case was referred to the di
rector of the district and attorney of
the board, with power to act.
Curtis Brooks, a farmer of Wayne
county, petitioned tho board to have
a young boy Indentured to him. His
request was granted and one of the
young boys at the home will bo given
Into his care.
Mrs. Sessender, of Bunker Hill, who
come here about nine months ago from
New York city after the death of her
husband, and who is now In very needy
circumstances, asked tho board for aid.
Considerable debate ensued over the
case, some of the members arguTng
that the shortness of the time sho has
lived here prevents her from having
any right to receive aid. The case will
receive further Investigation before
any definite action is taken.
The small son of Patrick McDonnell,
of South Seventh street, was admitted
to the Hillside Home. The child is
deaf and dumb and for some time re
ceived treatment at a Philadelphia
oral school. During the month of July
the father received two communica
tions from the superintendent of the
Institution, in which he stated that the
boy must be removed. He had an ugly
habit of rushing at the other children
and scratching 'at their eyes. He en
dangered the eyesight of every little
one at the school, and also dug his
nails Into the flesh of their faces In a
way that made necessary his Imme
diate removal.
Mrs. Josle Godak, of First street,
whose husband recently deserted her
and who Is at present In a delicate

ZENOLA Is a refreshing delight to the bath. It is bet
ter than anything else, first, because it makes the water
soft; then it makes YOU clean, then there lingers a re

that no other cleanser has ever given you. Isn't it
