Professors Buck & Whltmore this week received the following letter fiom a Dayton, O., Manufacturing com pany. This company has a capital stock of five million dollars: Gentlemen: The demand for good etenogrnphors and ofllce people, In our establishment, has always been greater than the supply. We havo openings now for two or three good malo sten ographers who have had experience, and It occurred to us that a largo num ber of stenographer and other office men- who havo graduated from your school from time to time and mo now holding posltons might dealt o to better themselves. If yen can put us In com munication wlt'h some of your old grad. nates who have had two or tliife years experience we would be under obliga tions to you. Fall Display of millinery at 8. C, Ward's, 110 Wash Ington avenue, on Wednesday and Thursday, Miss Ward gives her py trons the advantage of a month's stay In New York. Of course, this Is foreign, to the public, as the milliners" ot this town only make a stay of three days in the city. We feel that the people of Scranton cannot fall to appreciate her efforts, both In millinery and dies? making. All students or fashion will t welcomed, and any help which we can give the milliners or dressmakers of this town will be gladly given. Drowsiness is dispelled by Bcecham's Pills. w NOTHING FDRTHER TO OFFER tConeludtil from I'Uftc 1.1 to be applied In the case ot contract miners and their laborers and that many of them believe the provision about the reduction of powder llgurlng In the Increase In wages will offset the Increase to some miners. "That's nttotlicr bugaboo," snld the operator. "The offer says that the mine employes nrc to receive a ten lir cent, net Increase in wages, and that n what the offer moans nothing more, nothing loss. When n miner gets hla money from the pay cor he will have ten per cent. In cash more than he would have had under the old scale. The powder Question only enters into it as a matter ot book-keeping. Kvcry man employed In or about the mines in the whole anthracite region will make ten per cent, more under the new scale than It he was working under the old scale. The price of powder Is a Action and has always been a fiction. It Is simply for the looks of the thing that the proviso about reducing the price of powder was Inserted in the of fer. Practically It makes no difference in the long run, except that the opera tor must do some figuring to find out In each man's case what percentage of the cost of mining the cost of his powder amounts to. Let no one do any worrying about the terms of the offer. If the offer Is accepted the men will find that every one of them will take home next pay day $1.10 for every dol lar's worth ot work lie formerly did." At Headquarters. This explanation ot the ten per cent, offer was, In substance, laid before a group of strikers at District head quarters yestcrduy afternoon, and, judging from their expressions, every one of them hnd bean laboring under the delusion that either the miner or laborer, or may be both, were not to get a full ten per cent, increase, and they seemed much relieved to learn that no matter how the figuring was done, they were assured ot a ten cent raise on the dollar. One of them, the president of a local union said: "I don't think the men understand this thing, or they would b talking different to what they niv. They seem to think there is some kind of a game In that thing about the powder that Is going to keep thorn from making the ten per cent. For my rurt, I am satis fied to stay out till we get a better offer, but there's a good many of us that are not prepared to make a long fight, and on their account I am will ing to content myself with what we can get now. Ten per cent., anyhow, isn't so bad." There wnsn't a man In the room but what seconded these sentiments with some expression or other. How far such sentiments extend is the question on which the convention's action hinges. Will the men be con tent to take a ten per cent. Increase in wages and the guarantee of having their other grievances taken up for adjustment, or will they vote to con tinue the strike, believing the opera tors, having made one concession, can be forced to make more? Will Arrive Today. Mr. Mitchell and his staff will arrive this morning from Hazleton. In his parly will be his secretary, MKs Eliza beth Morrison, "Mother" Jones--, W. IX.

He took with him John Put her, of Taylor, lor, for whom Murdoch worked na a laboicr In the mines for three years, lie Rtated positively the moment lie saw the prisoner that he wan not Murdoch, The latter met with an ac cident at one time which lett murks, which could never bo effaced and none of these were on the person of the man under arrest. SERIOUS AFFRAY AT PITTSTON. Man and Wifo Wounded and Wilt Probably Die. A double tragedy occurred In Cork lane, PlttHton, last night, and by the time this paper renches Tilbunc read ers It most probably Iibb reisolvcd Itself Into a double murder. At 0 o'clock last evening Snmuel Carrie, or Sulvntor Carecla, according to the Italian pro nunciation, and his wife, Angellne, residents of Plttston, were shot and ffabbod by Louis and Frank Trew, the cousins of Mis. Carrie. Both men havo escaped and all search so far has been In vain. The affray was the result of a game of cards, In which the brothers were the losers. Louis and Frank Trew boarded with their cousin, and aftor : why Mckinley should be re-elected. G. W. Jenkins, one of the most prominent residents of West Soranton, where he has been for years engaged in business, gave the following reasons yesterday why President McKinley should be re elected : "Because his election is necessary for the welfare of the nation. He stands for sound money. If Mr. Bryan was eloctod all banks having loans to merchants, house ownors, builders and others, would want their money and want it in gold. WhyP Because the debt was contracted on those terms. Mr. Bryan's election would moan a settle ment on a silver basis, and bb silver is worth less than half the value of gold, they would lose at least SO per cent. The banks are bound to protect their depositors and everybody would be pushed. This would apply to the mechanic as well as the merchant; it would apply to everybody who does a credit business. "This is the present condition of affairs, and why President McKinley should be elected. His election means prosperity, while the election of Bryan means free silver, bankruptcy and ruin. "The cry of imperialism is used to covor up the true issue, free silver. If President McKinley is an imperialist, so was Wash ington, Jefferson and Jackson, for they all trod the same path that President McKinley is now following. Better let well enough alone.1' supper last evening sat down to a game of euchre at the house of a neighbor, Vlseuela Inceta. A quarrel followed, which resulted In the shooting and stabbing. Dr. Barrett, or Plttston, was sum moned and pronounced both man and wife to be in a most serious condition. UNDERTAKERS' CONVENTION. Representatives of Three Counties Met Yesterday.

Harry Vnrdon, who ha" the distinc tion of being the world's champion professional golt player, gave exhibi tions on thu Country club links yes terday morning and afternoon against mpinbors of the Country club.

Vardon Is a modest-looking indi vidual with a eounUnance less weather-beaten than many other well known golfers. He wore a resplendent waist coat yesterday, elaborately done In cross stitch and completed by red satin sleeves and back. Ills knickerbockers had seen much service and he wore green golf stockings and low shoes. His playing is devoid of mannerisms and he plays a swift, rather than a deliberate game. With his manager, C. S. Cox, he left last night for New York. On December 13 he sails for Europe. He has won 200 matches In the past year and makes a fine Income from his exhibition games alone. This may be surmised from the fuct that the Country club paid hint $250 for yes terday's exhibition. He spoke In most complimentary terms ot the Country club links. Verily the weather man smiled on the anxious Country clublte yester day, for a more perfect day could not havo been devised for the great exhi bition match. The rain of the previous hours had been a benediction for the links, and the clear, cool atmosphere brought the blue mountains so re cently veiled In haze, very close to tlio beautiful stretch of hillside and woodluud. DEEP INTEREST SHOWN. The match was followed with the deepest Interest by a largo gathering, In which ladles predominated In thu morning. Out-of-town visitors and many prominent residents of Scranton augmented the throng In the after noon. The playing all day was devoid of exciting Incidents. Vardon plays too magnificently a steady game to pio dure any brilliantly startling effects, At the eighth hole.yesterday morning, ho found his ball, after a long drive, rather badly caught In rough grass, far to the tuft side. He played through the trees and Into the hole. At the eighteenth hole In the afternoon he made a drive of S60 yards, clearing the bunker, When he got the ball he found he was stymied and hadisito curve It around a tree, lie took out his mashle and In a most beautiful manner Knt the ball to the punting ground. It was the most difficult play or the day, It was a nlost creditable showing that was made by the Scranton men, and it may be Interesting to note that Vnudon played as heavily handl cupped not. long since against Doug las and Tunis, the famous amateur champions and won by 8 up and 0 to play. The club house presented a cheerful appearance yesterday. A big wood 11 ro blazed In the fireplace and In the supper room a daintily set table was presided over by Mrs. Henry Belln, Jr.( and her guest, Mrs. Brown, from Philadelphia.
