The Tribune has decided to offer n merles of prlzea In a local whort-Htory competi tion. The prizes, while not larse, are, iiiluclent to furnish an Incentive to tho bilght young men and women of Northeastern TennayUr'anla. who may be po&seKM'il of porno literary ambi tion. The Tilbtmo's purpose 1h to awaken interest In the legends and traditions of the mining Industry, as well ns to encourage tho literary tal ent latent among Its readers. In connection with almost every mine In the valley there exists a mass of superstition, romance, and com mlnKllnfr of fact with fiction, which, If properly Incorporated in literary form, uould undoubtedly possess Instruct ive Interest, not only to many persona living In this region, but to the great majoilty of persons at a distance who are utterly unfamiliar with social con ditions In and about the coal mines. H is not expected that tho competi tion now started will exhaust or more than touch the hurface of this field, and therefore It Is intended, if tho contest shall develop encouraging signs, to follow It by other prize of fers until a lespectable local llteia turo may be built up. Such a liter ature, while not uninteresting to tho people of today, would In yeats to "omo, when the business of digging the dusky diamonds shall have passed into history, bo Invaluable. It may be worth while to say fur ther that we shall care less for liter ary form than for good substance. Let the writers of our valley see what they can do to reflect tho spirit of the mining Industry Its sacrifices, Its heroism, Its sense of loyalty and fel lowship, and its peculiar pathos, wit and humor. The republicans of the Sixteenth ward should not forget today to vote fjr Joseph Kline for alderman. For a gcnsiation he has been one of tho talvart Republicans and pnorgctlo business men of the ward, and the parly cives him its undivided sup port. Beneficial. UNDOUBTEDLY tho adjourn ment of the legislature from Friday of last week to Wed nesday of this will bo found to haw been advantageous in the op portunity afforded to bring the mem bers Into mental touch with what their constituents are thinking as to how legislation has been trending at the t-tate capital. It may be taken for granted that In consequence of these wholesome lommunlngs with the peo ple a majority of the law-makers will teturn to Uunl-buri; fully deteimlned: tO To put the nlr brakes on every chonie to manufacture superfluous new olficcs or to Increase, without clear necessity, the pay of men now holding state ofllce. (2) To halt the foolish attempt of a few nervous politicians to override by statute the constitutional ifcloin of tho pie.ii). r.tthough this docs not mean that the present intolerable li cense of yellow Journalism should not bo abrldRed when means to do so can be found that will not be worse In op eration than the disease. v) To respect the enlightened senti ment of tho people in favor of genuluo ballot reform; nnd (I) To practice in every grant of statri funds the closest economy con-t-lttcnt with good government. 0 is but fair to ndd that n legis lature Is not to be judged by the fool blllj Introduced before it, nor by tho bluSed reports circulated about It in newipapcru eager to discredit the political organization by which it is believed to be controlled. It must bo Judged by tho measures which it sends to the governor. No bad bill has gono to him yet; and it will bo time to snort when ono gets that far along. Complaint Is mado because tho Judges In an adjoining county have to vorfc on jn averago of 46 weeks In tho yeaC We know of several editors who rsteiem themselves lucky to get off for a fortnight's vacation annually after fifty weeks of toll. Tlfij political writer of the Phlladel phlrti; Press seems to be worried by the 'hallucination that the new federal court bill has been framed In tho In terest of some particular Individual for Judge. Undoubtedly,' when tho bill becomes law, the question of se lctstlng a Judgo will nroclvo atten tion. No doubt theie will be soma sood-natuted strife amt.ng t hi, friends of several aspirants; hufar more lm X'ortdiit tl.n the fj,ue?tlon of a pnrtlc. tilar Jurist's promotion Is the question of facilitating tho business of the peo ple In tho federnl couits, and In bring ing Justice within easy reach of every man, woman and child. Tho Press can take it for granted that this Is the real motive bthlnd the bill. The way to make Scranton prosper ous in the Twentieth century is not to encourage war between capital nnd labor or to applaud every strike that occurs, irgardlrss of merit or demerit. That, on the contrary, It picclsely tho way to stagnate business nnd nnr row labor's opportunity for steady em ployment. Is the Ripper Constitutional ? IT Irf AN Interesting circumstance Hint while tho chief objection urged against the ripper bill Is that It confers appointive power upon tho governor, those who are us ing this objection In the manufacture of hostile public opinion privately confess tl.U should tho bill become law they have no hope of overthrow ing It In tho courts because of that clnusc. Their expectation Is that If the bill In Its present form should be taken beforo the supreme court It will 1m found defective, not in the giving of the appointive power to the gov ernor, but In extending the period of gubernatorial appointment 'ono year beyond the next ensuing municipal election, Upon this expectation they base their hope of successfully at tacking the completed measure, but It Is evident from the earnestness with which ithey nro preparing to combat the bill's progress through the house that they do not feel wholly confident of maintaining their con tention In the courts. It they felt sure that the courts would overthrow the measure tiny would save a lot of money, time and worry by laying back while their fac tional opponents In the legislature ran things In their own way. This extension of the appointive term Is one of the features of the bill to which objection may properly be taken. In view of the radical chango wi ought in city government by the contemplated charter, It Is dllllculc to see how tho Initiation of that char ter could bo brought about otherwise than by temporary appointment. A parallel Instance Is that of counties going beyond the 150,000 population mark. Here duly elected auditors by net of assembly are deposed and their duties intrusted to a new oillclal known ns the controller, nnd appoint ive In the first Instnnce by the gov ernor until the next ensuing county election. This involves every essence of the ripper feature of the now char ter bill, with the single difference that there Is not present In the con troller act any factional motive or feeling; but the question of the con stitutionality of the governor's ap pointment of county controllers, which Involves alio the question of tho constitutionality of his proposed appointment of city recorders, has, we understand, been pnssed upon by the highest court, nnd his right to appoint stands! unchallenged. Reasoning by analogy, it would seem that if the Muohlbronncr bill is con stitutionally defective In any point it must be only in its extension of the appointive term beyond the first en suing municipal election. Should tho court take this view, the measure as a whole would not be Invalidated, but only that part of It. In other words, tho election of a. recorder by the peo ple to take tho place of the recorder appointed by the governor would In that event bo held one yenr sooner than Is now contemplated In tho bill. It is not disputed by Schley's friends that Sampson was the commander-ln-chlof. On him fell the responsibility for the arduous naval campaign which broke Spain's back. Yet because it subordinate Is not promoted ahead of the commander-in-chief, Schley's friends say that tho president's nom inations must fall. Well, lot them fall. History will Judge. While there Is some doubt ns to the legality of the recent apportionment and call for election of additional members of common council, tho safest way for the voter In each ward today Is to go to tho polls and elect a good than. If the good man shall be permitted to take his beat, sn much the better: It not, a good lnblt will hav been' stalled. An Iowa editor has secured a scoop in tho way of u confession from Pat Crowe. Theio nro many, however, who are suspicious that the truthful editor Is suffering from a peculiar complaint thut is brought on by execs slvo perusal of the New York saffron journals. - Dr. Spltzka hns requested thru In fu ture all men of prominence bequeath their brains to some jnedlcal Institu tion in the Interest of science. Tho best plan, however, Is to bequeath to humanity the contents of tho brains whlln living. Just nt the milk "trust" has bean dlesolved comes news of a gigantic ash barrel "combine."

It w.m a cry pretty lfclil. Mllle Leonora P , a child of 5 or fl, came one day to the white hone to sec Mrs. Mdvlnlc). Leonoia r tlvrd nil startlicd and frilled and with her Ut nnd primmest manner, to the tore. Her old black mammy nurse was with her, and it wm evident that Leonora hid been Instructed to bo very polite, and nol to alt down In the prmence of the mlstres, of the white home union premed to do so, and, above all, to answer all que. tlmn promptly. 1Mb the piesldent and Mi. MtKlnlry ree lived the child. They did nil thry oiild ti make her feel at' home, but lnnora vvn evidently a stood deal aed. At 1al Mm. McKinley, olmervInK the ear of the old black; lirimniy, proved her to sit down, ami the child, loo, but lonora said ulmnnMilnitlj to her nurse In nn undertone, and lioldlmr hrnelf bolt up. rlchll " 'Vo, mammy: servant mut not sit.' " 'Why, Irf-onora,' said Mrn. McKinley, much amiLoeil, 'nuinmy'a an old woman. And you alt down joursi'lff " 0. iVni,' returned the child eraely, 'but then. I'm people.' "Thli rcplv nearly bowled (be president over, and he nnd Mr. McKinley smiled broadly. Then Mrs. McKinley took mil her nut eh, which eon. tain a portrait of tlm president, Bho held It nut nnd Mid io.iIiirI.v: " 'Leonora, joii cannot tell me of whom this It a plctuiel' "Leonora drew I ear nnd scanned the open w.itch, A tulghl look swept over her f.ice. " 'Oh, jes'in, I know who It Is!' " 'Well, who Is II, Leonora!' " 'It's Dewey.' "ThU was. altogether loo much for the presi dent. He went off Into a fit of laughter, lomr and loud." Thought It Was a Funeral. OVi: DAY, when George Ado waout walking with a (itilde In the naval quarter of Klolo, Japan, he observed coming down the street tho head of a jreat procession. Interested at once, he paused to watih the procession paw. On they came, traudy In appirel, but (crave In face, flaunt ln Hags and great banner on which were .lapa. nee Inscriptions. The mournful chant which announced their approach wa.1 broken only when the kettle drums or toin-toma weru pounded or the cymbali clashed. As the weird and solemn precision approached, Mr. Ado uncovered and bowed Ida bead reverently, It being his custom and settled principle Invariably to show the hlghcid. lespoct for the rites and ceremonies of the peoples with whom he conies In contact. He Is a linn believer In the doctrine, "When In Koine do an the llomans do." Ills face was very grave. The procession was long nearly a block In length but Mr. Adc remained uncourcd during the entire time of Its pacing. Once or twice he glanced at the guide out of the corner of his cje. He thought he saw on the. min's face a piiydcd cvprcslon. I'inilly, when the proces sion had p,itted lie replaced his hat arid ad dressed himself to the wondering guide. "Ituddha?" he Inquired. The guide looked more puzzled. "Shinto?" then nked Mr. Ade. "I do not understand," the guide finally said. "Was not that a funeral procession!" Inquired Mr. Ado. A light began to dawn upon the guide's face. He almost smiled ns he replied: "No; tooth powclerl" The Japanese, It seems, are rapidly learning American wajs even In advertising. A lsttor to Japan may now see. as In some portions of America, nlmo-t every hillside plastered with ad- scrtlcmcnts. They are cry enterprising, and, as this incident Indicates, one of the adveitUng methods employed Is that of having a procession inireli thiougli the slreets. The Ruling Passion. THH STARR was rolling along the canyon trail when suddenly the horses icarcd back on their haunches as a lone highnajman with a Winchester appeared on the scene. "Step out of tho hearse, gentlemen, and hands up!" he ordered. Ono bv one they climbed out, with elevated hands. Tho lilghwiv man relieved the party and several tlinea was forced to remind one nervous little man to keep bis hand from his pocket. "What's the matter with you!" he finally roared. "You make another move like that and I'll pump the slugs in joul" "Please let me," pleaded the little man, as his hand again slid toward his pocket. "Please let you," roared the desperado, "Please let jou perforate me? You're imposhg on my generosity, sonny. Look out I Look out! Keep jour mlt away from that rocket or by the eternill" "Put It won't hurt jou!" protested the little man, "It won't hurt you at alt! Stand Jut as jou are now and keep jour rifla leveled. There! that's it!" And while the hlghwavman was recovering from his astonishment the little man had flashed 1 U kodak and snapped the button. IndlanapolU Sun. Could Not Be Paired. IDOritT if thero can bo found anywhere the evidence of a moic graceful compliment paid to a military general than was uttered by tho late (Juecn Vktoila, says a London correspondent. Not every ono recalls the fact that the common boot now sci generally worn was invented by the Duke of Wellington and for years bora hl name. When prime mlnUter tho duke isltcd Windsor Castle to consult with the queen on an impor tant state matter. The day was clamp, following a heavy rain, and as the meeting was to be se cret the duke accompanied the queen to an arbor In tho castle garden. On leiving the castle the duke said! "I hope Your Maje-tv is well shod." The reply was: "I hive on double-soled shoes and am securo against dampness, Dut how about jour grace!" "Oh," said tho duke. "I have on Wellingtons, and am safe." The queen retorted: "You grace must be. ml.-taken." The duke: "I think not, Your Mijeatj'." Tho queen: "You grace certainly is; there could not bo a pair of Wellingtons." Trifles Did Not Disturb Him. TMlKHi; WAS once a chief engineer In the X UrltUli navj-, relates tho Youth's Com. pnnlnn, a patient man who had spent so many nluhts by the beside of nn expiring boiler, which never esplred, but kept on bursting blood vessels and getting a death rattle In Its thou sand throats, that ho had become reconciled to knowing that he would be called upon to stop leaks at all hours of the day and night fur Hie ntt of his natural life. His only envy was the nun who could sleep undisturbed through the whole night. This man was Bulstrode, chief engineer of another ship. One night the assittant engineer sent a man up to lluUtrode to report the gradual dlsatv pcaranec of tho vacuum In the air pumps. Knocking at the chlcl's door, the man sang outt "Please, sir, the vacuum Is decreasing!" The answer came back In a drowsy voleet "Alll right, lleport to mc if It Kets lower." Half an hour later the man again rapped at the door. "The vacuum is much lower, sir." "Very good. Tell me If It Rets still lower." Alter another half an hour; "Mr. llul.trode, the sacuum Is gone, sir." "All. rlghtt report to mc If it comes back." A Different Kind of Time. MinSIIAL 11. K. Rr.L of the Missouri Supreme court, was onco taking a convict to the (talc penitentiary, relates the St. Louis Itepulc lie, A man on the train asked him what times It was. The marshal replied by a shake of the head, s he did rot know. The man then put the same question to the convict, who was thoughtfully gating out of the car window as the train whirled along, and did not at first under stand the question, "I saj-, what time have .vou!" the man re peated, "Oh, two years," waa the modet reply, which paralyzed the stranger, until the conductor came along and told him tho time of day. Towne's Witty Rejoinder. Sr.NATOrtS are talking of a ry witty reply by Chsrlrs A. Towne, of Minnesota, to Senator Chauneey M. Depew, of New York, says, tho Washington Post. At tho conclusion of Mr. Tawnc'i speech he lecclvcd congratulations from many of his associates, Including Mr. Depew, who had been tn Interested listener throughout. "Mr. Towne," said Kenator Depew, "I con gratulate jou. Your delivery was flni, your dic tion elegant, your peroration superb and your argument execrable," "Mr. Depew," replied Senator Tosrne Instant ly, "I am delighted to know you approve of the only features of It j-ou could comprehend." Senator Depew laughed as heartily as others who heard It at Mr. Tosvnc'n retorl. NUBS OF KNOWLEDGE. The Islind of Formosa has only one railway line. The bundles of the Mississippi have an aggre gate length of l.Vx) miles. The greatest waterfall Is Nlaaara, which sends over 32,000,000 tons of water an hour, Kgypt exported last year .0t1 tons of sugar, f).3(i0 lotus of which came to America. The city of tlombay, India, has a Sorosls club, eoniiosed of lllndou, Parse-c and Mohsnimedan women. The club motto Is: "The world was made for women also." An automobile and an eiprcss train In Italy had a rare of forty-four miles going out from Home. The automobile was the winner, though It was considerably Impeded by traffic. While the population of Maine Increased dur ing the past decade only from CAI,0c) to fiOMOct, or hit about fi per cent., the cost of the state government has nearly doubled during the lsst eight jears. The Turkish language Is said by scholars lo Imj the softest and most musical language of modern limes, being better adipted to the pur pose of musical notation and recitative than wen the Italian. The most vicious looking weapon on record has lieen tincsrthed In New Orleans. It Is a combi nation of a levolver, a row of ugly bra.s knuckles and a dirk knife, all In on", nnd each built for the transition of business. New York commission merchants are sending representation to Cuba to puuhase ptoducu for shipment to this country. U Is believed tint Cuban products In laige quantities nil soon make their uppcaranco in eastern markets. The ftcrnun naval programme, which, accord ing to the original announcement was not to be completed until 11)16, Is now, it seems, to be fin ished In 1PO0. In that jear Germany will have at least forty ships, twenty large cruisers and twenty-eight small cruisers. Cattlemen are considering the advisability of rc-scedlrg the Dlack hills and ca.stern Wjomlng ranges, where native gras has been nearly killed by overcrowding of cattle. It has been found that five grasses and two alfalfas wilt grow In that section without irrigation. Drrrlcn county, Michigan, on the record of 1000, claims to he the greatest peach-growing section in the world. The number of acres cul tivated last year was 1,7(3 and the total yield of peaches was H0,!if2 bushels, being more than half the entire Michigan crop, Van Iluren coun ty came next, with 5S,87 bushels. Colored people are still willing to biave the dlsidvantage of emigration to Monrovia In West Africa, Only recently sixteen adventurous mem bers of the race sailed from New York for that countrj. where land will be given them by the Llberlan Colonial society of nirmlngham, Ala. More of them cunlemplatc going to Liberia with in a few weeks. A marked rise in the level cf the Dead Sea has been noted, The ruin of HI Hahr, that stood like an Wand near the river Jordan, Is now completely under water. A broad lagoon has formed on the north side of the Jordan delta. The water docs not sink in summer, nnd it Is surmised that the whole bottom of the Dead Sea has been raised by volcanic action. The dcrmans arc claiming that, In spite of all our boasting, they arc Increasing their produc tion of pig iron faster than the United States. This seems to be the fact. The German output of pig Iron the pastiyoar was 8,331,712 tons, rep resenting an Iucreas4 of To per cent, since ISM. The United States cTutput last jear was 13,7!),.l2 tons, representing un Increase of 50 per cent, since 13f). Near ltlo Grande City, Te., an Immense de posit of an unknown gaseous substance has been discovered. Pieces of It Ignite quickly and give out a strong flame, which lists for a remarkably long period. It Is said by scientists that the substance Is either an unknown mineral or or dinary clay highly chaiged with natural gas. In either case the salue of the deposit as fuel Is immense, as it covers many thousands of acres and is of Immense depth. A Gieek barber has opened a shop lu New York to make popular a new way of cutting hair. He uses shears only for trimming the hair over the ears and at the back of the neck. For cut ting the long hair he uses a very sharp razor. He runs the hair through a fino comb and slices It off to tho right length. He says that this method not only cuts the hair evenly, but also removes all dead hairs. Moi rover, he alleges) that It is twice as quick as the old way. oxo:sckcx The People's Exchange,, A POPULAR CLEAIttXa IIOUSH for the ' Benefit of All Who Have Houses to , Iter.t.
