ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY.
Mysterious Intruders at Work at
House of Mrs. R. levy.
A mysterious attempt at burglary is
now puzzling the local police author
ities. Tuesday night the residence of
airs. It. Levy, at "IS Monroe avenue,
was entered by a person or persons
unknown, a front bedroom visited and
several articles of silverware removed
from a dresser, gathered neatly to
pother, and then, the intruder evident
ly being frightened away, loft them on
a ledge of the roof outside the room.
They wore discovered there later In the
light by members of the family.
Just what motive the burglar had in
leaving his spoils on the roof it Is hard
to say, but it is thought that the valu
ables were deposited there merely until
the burglarious party could return for
them.
Two weeks ago a pocketbook con
taining a considerable sum of money
was lost from the house, and a week
later other indications were discovered
of burglars being nt work. Detective
Molr is working- on the case.

RECRUITING OFFICE
WILL BB REMOVED
Captain Wolfe Believes tho Army
Has Secured About All the Men
Available in. This Region
at Present.
It has now been decided to remove
from the city tho United States army
recruiting station, which has been do
ing business on Wyoming avenue since
April 1, and to transfer it to Phila
delphia. While a largo number of
young men enlisted at the ofllco dur
ing the earlier part of the rcrultln.:
oillcers' sojourn here, of lato (here has
been a paucity of applicants, and as a
result by October 1, Captain Wolfe and
his staff of soldier boys will have left
tho city.
Captain Wolfe, in discussing tho
matter with a Tribune man yesterday
nfternoon, said: "On the whole wo
have done very respectably in this dis
trict. Since tho opening of our station
hero we have enlisted one hundred and
ten men in Scranton alone. Then wo
had branch olllces at Honesdale, Sus
quehanna, Shenandoah, Towanda, Dan
ville, Bloomsburg and Wilkes-nnrre,
and derived favorable results from all
these.
"From our arrival here, however, it
was understood that wo were to mako
but a temporary stay nnd that no per
manent station was to bo established.
Last month wo were very well satis
fied, indeed, with the work we did, as
between thirty and forty recruits were
secured. During the first months of
our stay here wo also did a splendid
business, and augured from this larger
results than we actually achieved. This
month has been" practically the wotst
wo have undergone, so far. Very few
men have enlisted, and we are begin
ning to think that we have already
secured about all tho available timber
there Is In the valley.
"I will admit, however, that wo ex
pected to do an Increased business on
account of the strike, and that wo are
very much surprised by the scarcity ot
applicants who are ex-mlners. Wo have
had some of them at tho ofllce, but
have had the same experience with
them that the examiners at the marine
station had, as in most oases they are
unable to pass the examinations.
"In fact, there has been an unusually
large number of men who havo failed
in their examinations at our olllces in
this recruiting district. Many men who
were able to fill tho mental require
ments broke down when submitted to
tho physical test. There was an ex
ceedingly largo percentage of poor'y
proportioned men, both those who were
understood and young fellows too light
for their height.
"The examinations, however, nro very
rigid, and a man has to bo In splsndld
condition to bo admitted to tho ser
vice. I suppose tho reason that we
didn't have more applicants from the
mines Is due to tho fact that tho major
ity of tho strikers are merely resting
for awhile Jo see what turn future
events will give the situation. If we
were to stay in the city and the strike
continued for any length of time, 1
feel confident that we would obtain a
largo number of desirable recruits.
"However, wo havo about exhausted
this district now, and as tho quarterly
period of our service will close Sep
tember 30, we are busy now fixing up
our books and clearing accounts, anil
will leave the city at tho end of the
month. Wu are to bo transferred to
Philadelphia, which presents an over
open field for our work."
The majority of tho Scranton boys
who entered tho service, nnd were
sworn in by Captain Wolfe, were sent
to the Philippines. A number have en
tered the signal and hospital corps, and
several havo been attached to tho ar
tillery. 1
FRANK GRAMIGNA INJURED.
Ho Was Thrown from a Wagon Tues
day Evening.
Frank Gramlgna, an employe of Cas
seso Bros., the Lackawanna avenue
macaroni manufacturers, Is receiving
treatment at the Lackawanna hospital
for a scalp wound nnd several severe
bruises, the results of falling from a
wagon.
Gramlgna was returning from West
Scranton, Tuesday evening, with a load
of coal for his employers. About 7.30
o'clock his horse stumbled In a trench,
nnd the shock threw tho driver from
the wagon, and in tho fall he received
his Injuries.
A companion picked him up, nnd
drove him to tho hospital. Ills condi
tion is not serious.

SQUABBLE BETWEEN
SCHOOL DIRECTtfRS
MR. SHIRES OPPOSES . CHANGE
OF BOUNDARY LINES.
Sixty Citizens Petition to Havo the
Lines of the Districts Served, Re
spectively, by Nos. 20 and 27
Schools So Readjusted That Chil
dren in a Portion of the No. 20 Dis
trict Will Not Have to Cross the
D. & H. Tracks Mr. Francois Fa
vorB tho Idea and Wins Out.
At a meeting of tho teachers' com
mittee of the board of control, held last
night, n petition was read from a largo
number of citizens of tho First warJ,
requesting that the dividing lino be
tween No. 20 and No. 27 schools bo
changed from Depot street to the Dela
ware and Hudson tracks, as at pres
ent the children living south of Depot
street and east of the Lackawanna
river are compelled to cross the rail
road tracks to get to school, and In so
doing endanger their lives.
After a vigorous opposition by Mr.
Shires, of tho First ward, and an equal
ly strong championing by Mr. Frnn
eols, of the Second, Mr. Gibbons moved
that the committee recommend to tho
board that the line be changed, nnd
tho motion prevailed.
After the petition was read by Sec
retary Fellows, Mr. Shires sprang to
his feet and exclaimed: "Mr. Chair
man, I move that the secretary notify
tho principals of Nos. 26 and 27 schools
to adhere to the present boundary
lines, and to enncel any permits pre
sented to them transferring any pupils
from one school to the other."
Mr. Shires Is not a member of the
teachers' committee; neither is Mr.
Francois. The latter Immediately arose
and called tho attention of all present
to tho fact, by blandly remarking:
"Mr. Shires Is not a member of this
committee, nnd has no more right to
make any resolution here than I have.
I am surnrlsed at his trying to force
tho children to go to No. 26 school and
cross the tracks, when No. 26 Is crowd
ed and there is plenty of room at No.
27. And on the strength of Mr. Shires
himself breaking the rules Inst year,
relating to permits, I have given out
several of them."
HIS EIGHT CONSTITUENTS.
II. L. Hartranft, of North Scranton,
one of the sixty-two citizens whose
names are attached to the petition,
here asked permission to address the
committee and, on being accorded the
floor, said: "I represent a largo part
of this district, inasmuch as I have
eight children."
There was a big laugh here, and cries
of "Good for you!" He then briefly
told of the dangers incurred by the
children crossing the Delaware and
Hudson tracks, and Mr. Gibbons then
made the motion given above.
Mr. Shires said, with considerable
warmth: "Last June a petition came
before the board, signed by 20S citi
zens, asking for a new school, in the
very district now under discussion. I
certainly think that some attention
should be given that petition, instead
of to a few people who are complain
ing about these tracks."
Another gentleman, living in the
First ward, then nddressed tho com
mittee and cited the case of a child
who lost a leg on tho tracks In ques
tion, only a week ago, while on tho
way to Sunday school. Tho motion
was then put to the members and car
ried. Earlier In the evening several prop
erty holders requested that their chil
dren be allowed to go to No. 33 school,
Instead of to No. 9. The recent fixing
of school boundaries caused the trans
fer of a number of No. 33 students
living In tho triangle bounded by
Adams avenue, Gibson street nnd the
Erie and Wyoming railroad tracks to
tho new No. 9 building. The request
was granted temporarily, until further
orders are issued.
MAX PHILLIPS' CLAIM. ,
Prior to the meeting of tho teachers'
committee the building committee met.
Tho claim against the board of $350
wages by Max Phillips, formerly Jani
tor of No. 3 school, came up before the
members. Phillips was discharged last
year, and began a suit against the
board for $350 salary, which ho claimed
to bo due him for the balance of the
year. The case Is now ponding In court,
and the committee will recommend to
tho board that the claim be settled for
$300, providing Phillips pays tho costs.
Mr. Stack, representing the Scranton
Electric Light company, proposed to
furnish the lighting apparatus for sev
eral of tho night schools at a rate
which proved satisfactory to the com
mittee. There will be a special meeting of tho
board of control tomorrow night.
THE WORD "CRANK.
Changes Which Have Occurred in
the Meaning of It.
I'rom tho Philadelphia Medical Journal.
Ono of the most Interesting phases
of linguistic studies pertnins to the
changes In tho meanings of words
which, ns wo know, may become bet
ter or may become worse. A word
may even come to mean precisely the
reverse of what it did to a previous
age. Deterioration Is the usual rule.
The term crank is a recent coinage,
but until now lias been uniformly ap
plied to those peculiar people whose
fads or whims havo not been held
worthy of imitation, but rather of con
tempt. They were thought below nor
mality in Intellect and ability. At
present among medical men one hears
tho word applied to those who show
very different characteristics, and 'the
fact Indicates that the word is under
going a decided change in significance.
A man of character would not call a
characterless man a crank, simply oc
causo he is a sharper, but the ro.
proachful word is frequently used by
tho characterless to denote a physi
cian of exceptional honor and Integ
rity. We recently heard a health offi
cer who has shown heroic zeal and
unselfishness In the administration of
his oillce stigmatized as a health
crank, Ho had no hobbles, except to
protect tho community from Infectious
diseases, in all such cases tho secret
motlvo la to excuse oneself for lack
of professional or cthlcnl spirit by
calling tho better man by this oppro
brious name. One who hates medical
politico Is dubbed a crank by tho poll
tlolnn. The nchetner for nin thna
appears to Justify himself. Tho medl-
cm cuinr wno sens uts columns to the
readlng-notlco man naturally calls
the hotter journalist who refused to
do this a crank, Those who exhibit
zeal for professional good, who crltl
"isu professional abuses are, by the
tact of their existence, a standing re-

buke to those who never had or who
never obeyed an ideal of duty, and
they ure nnturally anxious to hldo
their shame by crying crank' It Is
an old bit of psychologic legerdemain
which only fools the fool. When theso
fed the sting of conscience they whls
ped devil, devil! or hunt up a scape
goat. It will soon be that all trick
sters will call all honest men cranks,
nnd then n new word will have to bo
devised for tho old-tlme-fad-rider. All
medical reformers are crnnk? to those
who compound with sins they have
a mind to, so that soon tho word re
former will bo a useless synonym. It
Is time that wo should have n word
to designate all those cunning folk
who rid themselves of obligation by
sneeilng at those who believe In duty
and labor for professional progress.
BOSTON BAKED BEANS.
How New England Housewives Pre
pare Their Most Famous Dish.
Of baked beans, tho genuine New
England kind, Sallle Joy White writes
at considerable length in the October
Woman's Home Companion. This is
tho way she says tho famous dish
should bo prepared:
"The best bean to use Is tho pea
bean which Is the smallest white bean
that is grown. A quart of tho
beans should bo carefully picked over
the night before they are to bo used,
nnd all the specked ones removed. If
the beans are over a year old they may
be soaked over night in cold water,
the water being turned off in the early
morning nnd renewed with fresh
water. If tho beans are not a year
old they havo not to bo soaked over
night, as they would grow too soft,
and would break and become mushy
when cooked, a result that is to be
sedulously nvolded. In the morning,
put them over the fire in cold water,
and parboil them very slightly. Al
low the water to come pust to a boll,
then take them off, drain them
through a colander, and pour cold
water over them, rinsing them thor
oughly. This not only rinses nil tho
water from them in which they havo
been boiled, but gives them an addi
tional firmness, which tends to pre
vent their breaking while in the pro
cess of further cpoklng. Further
more, the beans will have a much more
delicate flavor, and will be less llkelv
to disagree with a person who has a
delicate stomach or a tendency to dys
pepsia. "Lay a thin slice of fat salt pork on
the bottom of tho bean-pot. and on
this a small onion; pour in the beans.
Have ready a piece of Bait pork weigh
ing about half a pound, the rind scored
every quarter of an inch, and put It In
tho pot with the beans, arranging It so
thnt tho top shall be even with tho top
of the beans und the rest burled In
them. If the pork Is very well salted,
and partially lean, very little salt will
be required about one-third of a tea
spoonful; but If It is fat use one full
teaspoonful. Add ohe salt -spoonful of
ground mustard, one heaping table
spoonful of granulated sugar or two
tablespoonfuls of molasses most peo
ple prefer this to sugar, but It Is a
matter of taste cover with cold water,
sot In a moderate oven, and bake from
elcht to ten hours slowly and stead
ily." FROM NORWAY'S MOUNTAINS.
They Supply Ice to Europe All the
Year Around,
from tho London Kiprew.
Wo have all heard about Greenland's
icy mountains, but Norway's are a
trifle less familiar to us by name, do
spite tho fact that they are of far
more practical service to us, for in
summer and winter wo draw our Ico
supplies from tho mountain lakes of
that country.
Tho lakes of crystal-clear water are
high up in the mountains and are sur
rounded by countless pine trees that
grow to a great height.
Europe's Ice supply from theso sour
ces is controlled by syndicates. The Ice
which Is considered by experts to bo
tho finest in tho world, Is cut up Into
huge square-shaped blocks by means
of plows constructed for the purpose.
Theso blocks are sent down tho
mountain side on huge slides. Owing
to their great length, the Ice often ac
quires an amazing velocity ere it
reaches the Inclosed pool, outside
which the bulky Ice ships ride at
anchor awaiting their cool cargoes. In
spite of theso arrangements it some
times comes about that tho Ice supply
does not continue altogether uninter
rupted, for, apart from tho occasional
delay of ships, orders sometimes come
which necessitate phenomenal quanti
ties being cut from tho lakes, and when
this occurs after a drought tho de
mand quickly exceeds the supply and
scarcity ensues. That Is why we often
have to pay dear for our Ice even In
winter time.
CARPENTERS DENY ,
WOODWORKERS' PLEA
WILL NOT CHANGE THE RULES
GOVERNING JURISDICTION.
Convention Will Como to a Close
Either Today or Tomorrow Offi
cers Are to Be Elected Today.
Many Important Committee Re
ports Presented Clgarmakers and
Brewery Workers Solicit tho Aid
of the Carpenters In Carrying on
Their Work Day's Proceedings.
Tho eleventh biennial convention of
tho Carpenters and Joiners will bo
brought to n close either today or to
morrow and the delegates are now dis
posing of tho matters which come up
before them with tremendous activity.
Yesterday the reporta of the finance,
resolutions, and glevnncos and ap
peals committees were accepted, and
the convention was addressed in tho
nfternoon by representatives of tho
Clgarmakers' and Brewery Workers'
unions, who solicited the carpenters'
services In the causes of their unions.
The report of the finance committee
yesterday morning showed the organ
ization to bo very strong financially,
and tho detailed figures corresponded
with thoso given in Secretary-Treasurer
McGulre's report. The lattcr's
statement wns referred to a special
committee, wMeh reported favorably
upon it yesterday nfternoon.
A. Hartman, of St. Louis, reported
yesterday forenoon, for the committee
which conferred with the delegates of
the Wood Workers' union, regarding
contemplated chang3 In ihe present
agreement existing between tho two
associations. It was recommended
that the conditions now in force be
continued, as the Wood Workers' re
quests were declared to be exorbitant
and Impracticable. The Wood Work
ers' delegation asked that nil Inside
work in shops and mills como under
the Jurisdiction of their order, and
this is a request that the carpenters
flatly refuse to consider. If an agree
ment can bo arrived at between the
local unions of tho wood workers and
carpenters and Joiners, the national
body will not interfere, but the dele
gates claim it is far too much to ask
them to take action on it as a na
tional body.
The committee on nppeals rendered
Judgment on several death claims
made by widows of members of the
union.
Yesterday afternoon the convention
was visited by a delegation from tho
Brewery Workers' union, who nd
dressed the delegates In the Interests
of their association. They requested
that a committee bo appointed from
the members of the Carpenters and
Joiners, to wait on the management
of the Central Pennsylvania Brewing
company and endeavor to persuade
them to use only union labor at the
brewery. The convention granted tho
petition and the request will be com
plied with.
Georgo H. Gothler and G. A. Kotz
wlnkle, representing the Clgarmakers'
union, were present nt yesterday af
ternoon's session, nnd being given the
freedom of tho floor, addressed tho
convention In the interests of the blue
union label, nnd strongly urged tho
delegates to give their support to the
union which they represented.
The work of electing oillcers will
probably be begun today and from
present Indications it looks as though
the session will continue until Fri
day afternoon. In addition to the reg
ular officers to be elected, four dele
gates will be chosen to tho convention
of the Federation of Labor. They wilt
take before this convention several of
the Important matters acted upon by
the Carpenters and Joiners.
HE HAD BEEN FISHING.
Received Plenty of Advice From
Others Who'd Been There.
From tho Doslon Globe.
He was an honest-faced young man
who had been off for a day's fishing
and was returning home with a rea
sonably fine string and much self
satisfaction. He had scarcely boarded
the street car, however, when a pas
senger with a deep voice growled out:
"Yes, I was out fishing myself one
day last week. I brought home twenty
pounds. I bought' em of a regular
fisherman!"
A giggle was heard here and there
among the passengers, and then a man
with a squeaky voice observed:
"I've played tho game myself, but it
was years ago, when I was a bad man.
I bought 'em from the fisherman nnd
brought 'cm down home and lied about
'em lied the most barefaced and
shameful manner! Yes gentlemen, that
Is the one regret of my life!"
Tho young man with the fish was
redfaced and uncomfortable, and as ho
was hitching around a man with a
wart on his nose called out in a loud
voice:
"Gentlemen, I don't deny that I love
whisky, but I am not It liar! I get
drunk and smash things, but I rever
ence the truth. Before I would Ho
about fish I would torture myself a
the stake!"
Then a hatchet-faced young man
rolled up his eyes nnd exclaimed:
"They not only He to the public, but
go home and lie to their poor, Innocent
wives and trusting children!"
The honest-faced young man saw
that all were against him, nnd ho de
cided to leave tho car. As he rose up
to motion to tho conductor a fat man
who had been drowsing roused up and
said:
"Gentlemen, I date my downfall
from that ono thing from the first He
I told about fish. I hired a man to
kill me a dozen with a crowbar, and
then 1 brought 'em home and swore I
caught' em on my own hook ami line.
I lied ubout it deliberately and ma
liciously lied and Providence "
"All off!" shouted tho conductor as
tho car stopped.
The car rolled on, and tho young
man with the perch and bass and fish
pole stood In the gloaming and looked
after it und clenched, his hands and
gritted Ills teeth nnd whispered cuss
words, and an hour later a oedestrlan
stumbled over something on the side
walk and got up to rub his knees nnd
e'bows and culled out In amazement:
"Well, I'll be hanged If some llur
hasn't stopped here to He and gone
away and left his fish behind!"
