CARBONDALE, EDITORS OTJABH
AND ONE GETS PUNCHED.,
Edward D. Lathrop, of the lender,
Takes Exception to Articles in the
Review, Published by Charles R.
Munn, and Lies In Walt A Short
Encounter In Which Lathrop Gets
Away with the Honors and Munn
Takes to Flight.
Publisher Kdward D. Ijiithrop, of tlio
rarbondnle lender, "laid" rur Pub
lisher Clmrles Munn, of the Carbon
dale Weekly nevlew, yeslculny morn
Inpr, niut In a very brief space of time
convinced him thetl lie could nnd would
bold him personally responsible for u
series of slurrltur articles rcileutlng on
Mr. Lnthrop's character. In tlio course
of the encounter bill ono blow was
nl ruck, but that was nil that was
necessary, for us Fonn ns Mr. Munn
bad recovered from Ills surprise at the
nnslnushl, lie (led. leaving Ills antugo--nlst
a clear field nnd the honors of
war.
Kor a tons' time, the nevlew. which
Is published each Saturday, and hua a
jrrntultous circulation, lias made It a
leading feature of Its columns to crltl-
lac the expressions used in the other
two papers that were published here,
since the Evening News quit this
Held, n few weeks ago, the full force
of the criticisms has been directed
mralnst the Leader. The gramatical
construction of sentences, the claim,
of circulation, the mnnnor of doing
buslnesH in the Leader office, have all
been held up to ridicule. As a conse
quence, the Review each week lias
been eagerly sought, for there was
sure to be something "spicy" about
the Leader or its publisher. Of late,
the tendency has been to attack the
personal character of Mr. Lathrop, and
these articles seem to have goaded
him almost to desperation. On only
one or two occasions, however, has ho
deigned to notice them in the columns
of bis paper, and a number have com
mended him for his forebcarance in
not inflicting the public- with a news
paper quarrel, while others have in
sinuated that his silence was an ac
knowledgment of the truth of the Re
views' articles.
On Saturday last the Review came
out with Its customary line of attacks
on the Leader, and in its editorial col
umn it said: "We have just learned
of a joke on the Leader's vegetable
editor, the details of which will ap
pear in next Saturday's Review."
Tt seems that this is the straw that
broke the camel's back. Mr. Lnthrop's
temper, long tried, mounted to boil
ing point over this insinuation. A
long time ago the Scrantonlan pub
lished an article tolling about a gar
dener for E. 13. Ilendrlck. who was
arrested for stealing vegetables, con
fessing Unit part of his plunder went
to Mr. Lathrop In return for money
be owed him. The story was subse
quently proven false, but the term
"vegetable editor" stuck to Mr. La
throp, and the publishers or the Re
view. Jones & Munn, who both worked
for the Leader at the time, have each
w eek published short articles referring
to the "vegetable editor."
Mr. Lathrop was considerably cut
up about this article on Saturday. He
must have brooded over it on Sunday,
and yesterday morning he left his
home over an hour earlier than Is his
wnnt. and on his way to the office,
.stopped on the sidewalk on Church
street, near Salem avenue, outside
Munn's home, and waited for him. It
was nearly an hour thai he paced
back and forth, and then Mr. Munn's
little sister came out nnd started to
go in the house next door. Mr. La
throp called to her and requested her
to tell Charlie that he wanted to so;
him. Then Mr. Lathrop, who is near
sighted, took the precaution to remove
his spectacles nnd place them In an
Inside pocket. For about ten minutes
longer he waited and then Mr. Munn
ennic sauntering along, with his over
coat buttoned up, his umbrella held
diagonally across the front of it and
his face filled' with an expression of
anticipation. Mr. Lathrop stopped
quickly In front of him and asked:
"Did you write that article referring
to the 'vegetable editor' In Saturday's
Review?"
"I suppose I did," was Mr. Munn's
reply.
"Will you tell me who you mean by
the Loader's 'vegetable editor?' wus
the next question fired by Mr. Lathrop
in tremulous tones, as If In suppres
sion of feeling.
"Let me pass! This is a public high
way nnd I demand the right to pass!"
said Mr. Munn, drawing himself up
and attempting to crowd by the short
but sturdy frame opposing hlni. Again
Mr. Lathrop demanded to know who
was meant by the term of veuctable
editor, and once more Mr. Munn said,
"Let me pass!"
"I'll lot you pass! Take that!" and
a powerful fist shot out for Mr.
Munn's eye, He saw It coming from
tlio corner of his optlo and ducked. The
list shot past, but It made a carroin
on Mr. Munn's cheekbone, tho Inside of
the wrist grazing tho skin. Mr. Munn'
hut (lew about ten feet, ho inado a
urab for It from the gutter and then
r.lanced over his shoulder at Mr. La
throp, who did not follow up his ad
vantage, but stood with parted feet and
bin fists ready In true pugilistic nttl
tudo for a counter attack. Rut Mr,
Munn had had enough. He plumped
his hat back on his iiead, ran across
the street, measured the distance to
tho corner with ono glance and started
on a run for the sidewalk, taking a
diagonal course to avoid Mr. Lathrop,
who made no effort to pursue him. Mr,
Munn continued on his way In double,
quick time to Main street and then
Went around to Alderman Jones' olllce
and laid an Information against his
antagonist. Mr, Lathrop, when ho saw
that Munn did not hanker for a listlo
argument, went to his office, Ho had
not been there more than live minutes
when some one told him that Mr,
Munn was seeking legal redress for
the Injuries he had borne. Mr, Lathrop
then went around to the alderman's

office. On entering, he said! "Well,
hero I am, ready to give myself up."
Alderman Jones heard tho story of
tho assault and proceeded to give some
fatherly advice to tho disputants. Rut
that did not satisfy the publisher of
the novlew. He persisted Hint Mr.
Lathrop be held under bonds to keep
tho peace and sworo that. he was in
fear of bodily harm. So Alderman
Jones held Mr. Lathrop In $500 bonds
to keep the peace. The latter offered
to write a chock for the amount, but
the nldertnah preferred regular surety,
so George S. Kimball furnished that
amount of security, and the combat
ants wended their separate ways.
The city Is full of excitement over
the fracas, Yesterday It was the prime
subject t discourse, nnd while many
severely criticized Mr. Lathrop for at
tacking a man physically smaller than
himself, others condoned It on the
ground that he was justiricd by the
long course of patience he had prac
ticed In going to such grent lengths.
Last evening the Leader had nothing
io say on the subject. Mr. Lathrop
had considerable to say during the
course of the day to the many who
called at the office. Ho talked freely of
the fracas and seemed rather glad that
he hud vindicated himself in the way
he had. He confessed that as long ns
the Review had confined itself to at
tacking his newspaper and Its circu
lation he bad lot 11 pass, regarding that
merely ns one of the Incidents of busi
ness, but when his personal character
and reputation were held up to ridi
cule and vituperation then he thought
It was time to take the only justifica
tion be considered was left him a pub
lic chastisement. The appearance of
the Review on Saturday Is eagerly
looked for. 11 Is a. question If Mr.
Munn can continue his articles In view
of the fact that Mr. yuhrop Is bound
over to keep the peace.
It is sometimes the case that an Irate
citizen punishes an editor, bill this Is
a new departure, one publisher inflict
ing corporal punishment, upon another.

First Institute Lectin e.
The llrst lecture of the course, which
will be given this week in the audito
rium of the High school, was opened
last evening with a selection by the
glee club. It was very nicely ren
dered. The recitation, "The Drunken
Organist," by June Kilpatrick, was
very well received. The Misses Gra
ham, Frank and Watt rendered a piano
trio in an exquisite manner.
The next on the programme wus the
lecture, "Character IJulldlng," by Su
perintendent James M. Coughlln, of
Wilkes-Barre. He handled his subject
very ably. In purt, he said: "I think
the most important duty of this gen
eration is to prepare those who arc to
take our places in tho years to come.
The teachers should lift their students
to the higher plane of life. Jt Is the
corporation of the home life and the
community that should help the teach
ers in this line of work. The purpose
of education is to train the hand and
the mind together. The mind should
direct tho hand to execute; the mind
In a general sense to take hold of all
the great problems of life, the hand to
work out in a skillful manner these
problems and give them to the world.
Wo are especially anxious that our
boys and girls should be so trained
that they will have correct judgment.
"We discover In our nature a ten
dency toward action and these actions
repeated become ' habits, and these
habits repeated become character, rt
is the effect produced upon the Indi
vidual that is tho important problem
in these lessons.
"The greatest element In life after
all is to learn to be useful to mankind.
Those who work for others are on tlio
broad road to prosperity. Character is
really what we are. Character differs
from reputation In this: Reputation Is
what the world may say of us; char
acter Is a growth that comes to us
through all the years of our develop
ing life. Reputation Is a lleeting
thing; character always remains with
us. Character Is the thing that we
are looking after In this world nnd
wo must seek to acquire It. The aim
of llfo is rather to point out the direc
tion toward the formation of good
character." He then said that the
mind was divided In three parts. He
cited the parts, bringing his lecture to
a close by using the story of "Tlio
Great Stone Face," by Hawthorne.
The Re-dedlcation.
Tho date for the opening of tho re

The Lecture of Mr. Clark.
Congressman Champ Clark, of Mis
souri, appears al the Central school
building this evening In the course of
the teachers' Institute lecture. He Is
well known alt over the United States
for his wit and keenness of speech.
This Is what a western paper says of
tills speaker and Ills lecture: "A large
and cultured audience greeted Con
gressman Champ Clark at the Central
High School auditorium yesterday to
listen to his lecture on Daniel Web
ster. They came to hear and remained
to applaud. From start to finish It
was a keenly appreciative audience
and the speaker was frequently Inter
rupted by laughter and applause.
"The address was a marshaling of
great thoughts In strong, elegant, clear
English, it abounded In happy Illus
trations, well chosen anecdote, pithy
epigrams; In humor, pathos and patri
otism. The lecture was delivered with
that persuasive eloquence for which
Mr. Clark is so justly distinguished.
"Among the many strong points of
the lecture were the side-lights thrown
upon Webster's contemporaries Clay,
Calhoun, Huyjie and Benton. Mr.
Clark Is one of the few congressmen
who have a passion for history, biogra
phy, poetry nnd art. The auditor Is
reminded of what Benton says of John
Randolph, of Virginia: that he would
exhaust enough historical allusion, apt
quotation and pertinent anecdote on
one speech to adorn a dozen efforts
of a less gifted orator." Kausns City

Hospital Inmates to Be Remembered.
The unfortunates who will be com
pelled to spend Thanksgiving, Christ
mas and New Year's in the hospital
will lie provided with holiday dinners
this year by six or the local churches.
The Institution has each year been
supplied with good things, by individ
uals, and this year the supply will
be more bountiful than ever. Kvery
body in the city will be given an op
portune y to give something.
The Episcopal and Congregational
denominations will provide tho Christ
mas dinner, while the members of St.
Rose and Bcreuu Baptist churches
will supply the good things for New
Year's Day.
Tho First Methodist and Presbyter
ian congregations huve taken upon
themselves the responsibility of pro
viding for a Thanksgiving dinner for
tho patients and the members of these
bodies who wish to donate supplies
arc asked to send them to1 the Sun
day school room of cither of the
churches named on Wednesday after
noon. It is hoped there will be a
ready response to this appeal.
A Slight Error,
lu the article of a few days ago re
lating to the gift of a set of chlnu
dishes and a sel of silver knives and
forks to the Carbondale hospital credit
was given to the wrong partleH for the
donation. It was the Ladles' auxiliary
of the Young Men's Christian associa
tion who were so kind and generous
in helping a worthy institution. The
hospital people are very grateful for
this good deed and the ladles who origi
nated the happy idea should eertalnly
be most pleased with the success with
which it was carried out.
