Description of the College. The Hcranlnn liuslness CoHcrc Is one of the foremost of Scianton's educa tional ' institutions. Its handsome building at the coiner of Linden street and Adams avenue is one of the land inaiks of the city, and Its central lo latlon, opposite the Lackawanna Coun ty Court House, makes It unsurpassed for convenience of access, both for Its larKe body of students and for the many visitors who come to the Klec trie City nnd make tills school one of their objective points while "seeing the hlEhls." The permanent home of this commercial school In a handsome edl- tlce of unite stone, four stories In height, uith large and commodious 11nme, nnd well lighted on three sides, anil ulth a eharml.ig view in front of tho open park surrounding the court house. This corner Is one of the cool est spots in Hcianton during the torrid mioh, and In winter the lloors de voted to the use of the school are heat ed effectively and scicntlllcally, thus conducing to comfort and ability to study either in "dog das" or when the winter blasts ate howling and rush ing pdM. Its Establishment. It wuh in June. 1S01, that II. I). Muck nnd A. R. W'liitnmro resigned their positions In the then only business col lege In this part of the country, and on tho third day of tho following .Septem ber they welcomed many students In the now building erected for the Scran ton Business College, of which they then became pioprletors. They at once encounteied bitter opposition, but in a short time all rivalry of a business nnturc wiw effectually overcome, nnd today their school has the proud dis tinction of rating as the thhd largest business college in the state. A few short j ears ago this school was in Its Infancy, today It stands as one of the largest and most successful Institutions of Its kind In the country. Immediate ly upon organization it sprang into public favor, received a liberal pation age, and at once entered upon a career of prosperity that is truly remark able. Changes and Impiovements of a decided rharacter in the way of equip ment, methods of teaching, and all facilities necessary to carry on the work more successfully, which Insure for the school a still greater growth, have recently been made. Remarkable Success. The phenomenal suecw-s of this In ntltullon Is evidence of Its popularity and the most substantial proof of Us superiority. Its growth Is, indeed, ex coptlonal, and, without doubt, unpre cedented In tho history of similar edu rational Institutions. Heal merit, com plete appointments, thorough Instruc tions, satisfactory results, honorable dealings and promises fullllled, luivo won for It a reputation that guaran tees to it still greater prosperity. The iplrit of this school is piogressive, nnd Its chief charactoilstlcK are thorough ness and elllclency. The success of the school Is duo, in n measure, to the Jn Uucnco and kindly assistance of for mer htudonts, who nro living testimon ials of the worth nnd Integrity of the ichool. The army of graduates holding ..jusltlons of mist and responsibility In this city and elsewhere, speaks wltu .emphasis of the metttorloua work of the institution. Admirably Located. The- location of the college Is excep tionally good. In this respect, ns well .is lr very many others, the school of !ers an advantage which Is of great mpor'tancc to the people of a large llty like Scranton. Situated almost in 'the heart of tho business rentie, fnc .'jib Court House Square, it Is easily iccesslble from all parts of the city, '.he street cars bringing people from iltnost any point right to tho collego entrance. Tho nearness of the school to all railroad depots in tho city In advantageous to students living In tho "suburbs and nearby towns who witdi to hoard at home nnd go to and from school by the troliey and the steam railroads. " Thd location Is almost an Ideal one In that while being central, it Is also healthful and quiet. Tliera being no adjoining and obstructing buildings, students nre certain of having at all times these prime necessities for tho rooms, nn abundance of light and pure Mr. According to the report of. the Super intendent of Public Instruction, the scranton IJublness College' Is the third dents In actual attendance, this num ber being nearly equally dUUIed nmong young men nnd women, tho male sex predominating slightly at piesent. As an evidence of the high teputallon the college enjoys It Is only necessary to state tho fact that tho demand for ltn graduates from business houses In this and other cities Is greater than tho supply. Its graduates nro employed In the very best business houses In con fidential and responsible positions, and a largo number of them arc In receipt of very good salaries. The Tribune can testify cheerfully to the thoroughness of tho training of tho graduates of this college, having several of them In Its employ at the present time. The methods of Instruction employed there aro equal to the best or the business colleges In this country nnd are con stantly Improving, always keeping paco with the expanding business demands of tho commercial world. Good Positions Easily Secured. This college Is highly leconinicndeil by u huge number of the most prom inent business and professional nun, including educational leaders as well ns those In other walks of life. Tho opportunities offered to lis students commercially nre great, and so eager Is the demand for them that a great number aro offeied positions by busi ness houses before they graduate. Hun dreds secuio positions fioui here, either directly or Indirectly. In fact, ap plications from business houses for students of the college are now on file In tho ollice of tho Institution, and tho proprietors are unable to fill thvni because of the demand being so much larger than the supply. Messrs. Iluck and 'Wliitmoro take gieat pride in those who have pnsed tinder their tuition, and keep their In terest In them alive long after they have tecelvcd their diplomas or hae entered Into active employment, striv ing to help them Into better and mote lticratlVi! positions nnd following their careers with kindly zeal, amounting almost to sentiment, well knowing that a worthy and deserving pupil cannot receive too much encourage ment, and will appreciate all that can be done to make his way smooth. They have secured a number of posi tions for individual students, each bet ter than tho last, and their Interest In a graduate survives long after tho student has left their college. Students hnve seemed positions through the pro prietors, not only in Scranton, but in many other cities. Including Xew York, Chicago, Philadelphia and tho princi pal cities of the country. Tho Faculty. II. I). Iluck is compaiatively young In yeais, but old In experience. lie spent the earlier years of his life In acquit Ing a liberal education. He Is a bookkeeper and business man, having spent a number of years behind tho counter and at the desk In various kinds of hiu-lness in Lycoming county. He has taught live yeais in the public schools, and for tho past fourteen years has been actively engaged in business collego work, teaching ten and eleven months each year In the day session and eight months in the night school. Dining school hours ho devotes all of his time to the students, both In the class room and In gllng individual Instruction. A. It. AVhltniore, besides having had considerable experience as a practical bookkeeper, has been for tho past six teen yeais performing tho duties of an all-around commercial teacher. His specialty, however, is penmanship, and as a penmnn anil teacher of penman ship he has few, If any. superiors. Ho claims, and ho is a living example of the fact, that penmen nre "made," not "born." He placed himself under the tuition of those who weie thoroughly competent to teach the art, and then put forth his best effort. Others who wish to become good writers may do likewise, and feel sure of accomplish ing their deslie. Like his co-woiker, ho spendo all of his time during school hours with the students. I'. Donald Yoder, the principal of the shorthand dcpaitmont, Is a practical stenographer and a teacher of four teen years' experience. He has a grad uation record of l.'iT words per minute lor five consecutive minutes in short hand and a speed of EG words per min ute on tho machine. He is nn en thusiast in his work, always has his students' Interests at heart anil gets results. That any one willing to work can make a success of shorthnnd under his Instruction can easily be proved by pointing to the many ladles and gen tlemen who tue filling tho l'st stenographic positions in this and other large cities. Shorthnnd Department. The winneis of tho threo full scholar ships offered In Tho Tribune's lMuca tlonal Contest may enter upon either the stenographic or commercial courses as soon as they wish to do so. The shorthand department has few equals and no superiors anywhere. Heie are taught not only shorthand and type writing, but also manifolding, pi ess copying, grammar, penmanship, spell ing, besides letter wilting, capitaliza tion, punctuation nnd the preparation of legal documents. In slum, every thing to make a well-equipped stenog rapher. All of tho details are care fully looked after. Many who have taken lessons from private instructors and by mall, realizing that the mere ability to write shorthand Is not suf tlclent, come heio to really fit them selves for ofllce work. Thoro nre un limited possibilities befoie bright young men and women who will make of themselves tlrst-cinss stenographers. If they have a good common school edu cation they are qualified to take up this course. Very many ladles and gentlemen who have taught school from one to ten years nro giving up teaching to take either tho business course or the stenographic course, or both. Tho busy clicking of the type writers may be henrd from early in tho morning till late In the evening. In this department are found the best typewriters on the market, n perfor ator, charts to bo used when learning the touch system, and a letter-press. Students nre taught single case and double case keyboards, so that when they go out they will bo able to oper ate any standard machine. They aro also taught manifolding, press copy ing, etc. Typewriting Is a part of the stenographic course, nnd Is not charged for extra, as In many other schools, The business courso Is divided Into tho preparatory and business practice departments. While the student Is in the preparatory department he is per forming tho duties of a bookkeeper un der the dltcctlnn of his employer. As soon ns ho enters tho business practice department ho becomes tho manager of n business for which he keeps the book. Ho begins by leasing n store and opening nn account with the col lege hank. He starts with a capital of from $,0uo to $10,000 In college cur rency. The business Is general mer chandising. Ho procures his books nnd stationery for the ollice, purchases his store flxtuies, and orders various lines of goods from tho wholesale houses. Ho writes nn advertisement for an assistant bookkeeper and appio prlatcs money and goods for private use. He draws on his debtors nnd dis counts drafts and notes at the bank or leaves them for collection. He makes partial payments on notes and rcnpwa them when necessary, He te deems his notes or acceptances befoio duo nt a discount. He learns how to prove his check book when his batik Is balanced. He has his checks certi fied, obtains certificates of deposit, nnd buys and I emits bank drafts to apply on account. Ho makes shipments C. O. D. He admits a partner or partners, and writes articles of co-partnership and gives a mortgage to secure the firm name. Hoth stock and pilvate accounts are kept, the goodwill of tho business Is csiimutcd, and cotrcct en tries of adjustment are made. Tho student, as manager, buys the stoic nnd gives a mortgage to secuie the unpaid balance. He Is taught how to take advantage of merchandise dis counts nnd when to allow them. He learns how to buy and sell stocks, make shipments and draw drafts against them, and by discounting tho drafts realize Immediately the pio coeds; He pays off his mortgage nnd takes a reieaso. Kvory transaction that Is recorded actually takes place. No slipshod work Is permitted. All papeis nnd methods of business must have the manager's approval. The system of proving accounts Is so per fect that it Is practically Impossible to do dishonest work without detection. He must send out monthly statements of account and learn the value of such to both buyer and seller. He must do aln.ost everything that Is necessary to the practical and profitable conduit uf his business. and satisfactory accommodations are secured. Tlmo to Complete. The time required to complcto a prescribed course of study by a student will depend upon his previous propitiation, aptness, and especially upon his application nnd the number of hours per day he spends at his studies. No student will bo to tarded by less apt or industrious pupils, nor, on tho other hand, will he bo urged forward faster than Is consist ent with thoroughness, by thnso who nro uhlc to make more rapid advance ment. Sonic mny bo nble to complete n course In four or live months, hut the majority should spend a longer tlmo. A too hastily pursued or Imperfectly comprehended course of study In nny school Is always a source of disap pointment nnd an unprofitable Invest ment of time and money. At the com pletion of tho course, each Is presented with a beautiful diploma conferring all the honors of the Institution, free, of charge.

IT.M K K was a Blii of "niooils anil tenses" so hrr fiioniis sali rather than her ac qualntancfx, for her friends weie not legion that was one of her tenses anil one very Intense. She averred that friends so-called, were so Intangible and so iiidelluite as ttr fro iui ntly be altogether Invisible both to the eye and tho .sphlt, especially they developed this condition if one needed a friend. Hut her friends, those to whom she nccorded sufficient of her self to nllow of their being filendt", wore her sworn allies, and If ever one was persuaded that she whom they wni shipped was not perfection he was nevertheless convinced that she hor dered upon that happy html. She said that if she possessed any strength of character It wnn due to the Influence of the Pennsylvania hills nmong which she was born and bred. Others said that If she had been born under other sklis she would have forced the condi tions necessary to her Indlvldlunl de velopment. Dick Sterrett, who, by tho wny, wat her Ideal of manhood, said that sli had no soul In particular, but could get up tho semblance of one on occa sion, inspircu eitnor iy u gorgeous sunset or n dirty bootbluck, and which quite deceived even herself. She must needs havo a sensation to keep hor alive, and chose to consider himself peculiarly amused by this side of Kath arine's many-sided nature. She had told him over and over on occasion and off that she loved him, and ho bald ho alwayn salted It well before taking said It kept her from trying tho soul of some othor poor devil and ho was unaffected thereby, because he know she couldn't help saying things shu did not mean to cover that which she did moan, that for the nonce ho stood In pla "0 of land or sky-scapo or bootblack. II. Ulck Sterrett was a soldier. Tha"s how it all hnppened, and he was of tho stuff of which (soldiers are made. Kath arine Iteaumer seldom erred when she did choose a friend and one mis erable bluo day Dick's mntchlng ordeis said in substance: "Pitch your tents towards Cuba." Captain Sterrett was ready to go, but there wns Katharine, lie wondered if she would care bo cause he were going If she would ever think of all their happy days if ho never mine back. Oh! If ho never ame back! Suppose ho did not? Tho chances, were all against it. What if Katharine should fall In lovo with somebody and marry him? Ho never hail thought about that. How perfect ly dreadful that would be! Ho would not he able to fight as u soldier should If ho must think of her ns loving some othet man. Then Dick Stenett awoke to the fact that lie loved her himself: that Katharine Heaumer was a little more than all tho world beside to him, and the remainder of that day and night before ho might sop her was made up of elastic bonis, which scent ed to stretch on nnd on Into ternlty, MUSICAL GOSSIP. in. "O, Katharine, you must have known I loved you!" cried Dick. "Why, dear, you never told mo.

"You have no heart Kuthailne lleaumor; you never had, or you could not bo so cold nnd uncniing when 1 tuny never see you again. My dear, my dear, can't you understand,?"
