PROSPECTS OF SETTLING
TROLLEY STRIKE ARE GOOD
Men Will Meet Toniflht lo

OliJRCTIONS MADli TO IT
Prospects (ir the mrec! car rtrlke be
ing settled by tho Central Labor union
movement mo somewhat brighter than
they were. The strikers' executive
committee will not agree to recommend
the acceptance of the new proposition
unless some amendments are made, but
the Central Labor union committee has
determined almost absolutely that' the
proposition should be accepted, and Is
tt unit In practically demanding of the
strikers that they shall take what Is
offered and telleve the community of
this burdensome strike.
The company's offer, printed iu sub
stance In yesterday's Tribune, was
given out, yesterday by the Central
Labor union committee. It Is as fol
lows: To advance all loniluclois al.d tnolmtneu lu

to i?n back and more men aie wanted In ili.il
line. Hie company may w outride tn fill such
vacancies.
FACLT FOUND WITH IT.
The strikers' executive committee
finds fault with this proposition on the
following grounds:
It Is vague In Its second provision
because there were no men tecelving
IS cents an hour.
It falls to give assurance that the old
system of seniority in distributing the
runs will bo observed.
It puts the union to the undesirable
difficult and possibly Impossible task of
deciding which of the men shall be
taken back lirst.
It is indefinite and subject to any
construction the company sees lit to
put on it In the clause relating to the
leiustatement of tlio men other than
the lirst 100. If any men are not taken
back within sixty days, it is argued, it
is only incumbent on the company, In
fully observing the agreement, to give
n reason why they are not taken back.
The strikers' executive committee
wants that the alleged vague and indell
nlte clauses shall bo made specific and
clear, and that amendments shall be
ndiied to remove the condition attach
ing to the reinstatement clulise and
cure the other causes of complaint.
Last night the Central Labor union
committee waited on the strikers' ex
ecutive committee nt tho hitter's head
quarters, in the Grand Central, for the
purpose of urging Unit the executive
committee recommend to the strikers'
union the acceptance of the new terms.
The Central Labor union committee
was willing that an effort should be
made to secure tlio modlllentlons de
sired, and us a means to that end tho
Central Labor union committee sug
gested that one man from the strikers'
committee and President John II. De
vlne, of the Central Labor union,
should proceed forthwith to lnt vview
tlio proper representative of tho "om
pany, to have the difficulties removed,
If possible, 'I'he strikers committee,
however, preferred to have tho whole
committee act, and wanted that the
representative of the company should
be brought to the headquarters and the
mutter threshed out then and there,
Tlie Impracticability of this proposition
was apparent to the Central Labor
union people anil they would not agree
to It. .
TIIKY WITIlDltnW.
Without deciding on anything dell
nlte lu relation to securing the modifi
cations, ami without having, made
much, If any. progress iu Impressing
tho strikers' committee with the ad
visability of endorsing the new terms,

A meeting of the strikers Is called

tee undergoes it change' of front during

BULL'S-EYE TABGETS.
They Are to Boplnce the Silhouette
on National Guard Bangcs.
At it meeting of the ordnance ollleers
of the three brigades, tile state Inspec
tor of rifle practice and one regimental
Inspector of rllle practice from each
brigade, held In Harrisburg a few clays
ago, It was deckled to re-Introduce the
bull's eye targets for rllle practice
during the coming year and to do away
with lite silhouette target which lias
been In use for two years past.
Tho silhouette target consists of the
black outline of tho side profile of a
kneeling man painted on a sheet of
steel. A shot striking any part of tho
figure counted live. The objection
to the target Is that It tends to make
the men careless. Instead of aiming
at ti bull's eye and- using every effort
to strike the centre, knowing that a
higher mark could thus bo obtained,
the soldier aiming at a silhouette tar
gel aims in a random sort of a way
at the whole figure.
Lieutenant L. P. Carter, inspector of
rifle practice, Thirteenth regiment, who
represented the Third brigade at tho
meeting above referred to, said yes
terday afternoon that the use of the
bull's eye target will undoubtedly Im
prove the marksmanship of thu guard.
The season for rill6 practice on the
Dickson City range will open about
May 1. he said.
CAB LEFT BAILS.
Conductor Pitman and Several Pas
sengers Cut by Glass.
South Side car No. 110, In charge of
Motorinan II. G. Sontag and Conductor
A. J. Pitman, was going down the
Adams avenue hill underneath the
Lackawanna railroad bridge, about
noon yesterday when It ran over a bad
joint on the track and was thrown
clear off the rails.
The sudden jounce threw the handle
used by the motorinan off and he was
unable to control the car which bounced
along tho road for tiulle a distance and
then turned almost completely around
before it stopped. Conductor Pitman,
who was in the car, was thrown head
foremost through one of the windows
when the first jounce came, but es
caped with slight cuts. The motorman
was thrown across the gates and almost
out of the car.
There were five passengers on board
and all were slightly cut by the glass
from the several windows which were
broken. John Blatter received two
deep cuts on the face, one over and one
just underneath his left eye.
KLINE WAS SUEPBISE.
Couldn't Ejcplain Presence of His
Eeceipts in Chicken Coop.
The chicken coop of Daniel Morgan,
who resides on Dellovue Heights, was
broken into n few night's ago and sev
eral choice hens were taken. Other
chicken coops in the Immediate neigh
borhood were also broken Into on the
same night.
A number of rent receipts showing
that Morris Kline, of :no South Wash
ington iivenue had paid Ills rent
promptly for a number of months, were
found on tho floor of the Morgan
chicken coop. This caused the finger
of suspicion to be pointed at Kline, who
deals in chickens as a side line, and he
was placed under arrest yesterday.
When arraigned before Magistrate
Howe and asked to et:jjlain how his
rent receipts could have found their
way into the Morgan chicken coop, he
was so stricken with surprise that lie
could hardly speak, His rent receipts
In the chicken coop? Why the tiling
was amazing, astonishing, remarkable
beyond expression. Tho magistrate
thought so, too and held Mr. Kline
under $200 ball for court.

A REMARKABLE LETTER.
Italian Seeking His Son Added a
Most Unique Postscript Saying
That He Had Located Him.
A most remarkeable letter was re
ceived by Superintendent of Police Day
a few days ago from an Italian in New
York. He announced that he had a
son who left home some time ago and
whom he was very anxious to see. Tho
young man, he said, was probably lo
cated in Scrnnton though he was not
sure as to his nddrcss. He asked the
assistance and co-operation of tho
police In restoring the sou to the loving
arms of Ills father.
Superintendent Day was jotting down
data preparatory to making an In
vestigation into the matter when he
happened to turn the letter over and
was astounded to see the following re
markable postscript attached:
"P. S. You need not look for my son,
Since writing the above I have lecelvcd

It Is the Best.
Will you please send me a box of 20
or 2." packages of "COFo." I have
quite a number of friends who will use
It. I have been using a coffee substi
tute since 1 came back from camp at
Spencer Pond, Maine, and have noticed
the difference between it and "COFo";
and can favorably say "COFo" is far
superior lu every way. 1 am certain
that If the public knew or tried your
"COFo1' they would never use any
other substitute again.

homes, Their nhlef troubles tire con
stipation, llntulence, drowsiness, rheu
matism, neuralgia and Indigestion.
Palne'ii Celery Compound Is the
world's best medicine for all the be
sotting troubles of ihe old. Us regu
lating Inlliienee on the liver, kidneys
nnd bowels removes the disorders that
come to the aged, When you are old,
Pablo's Celery Compound stimulates the
vital powers, regulates digestion, and
promotes a healthy appetite. It builds

piness and pence to your life.
Rev. Dr. Win. A. Smith of Groton,
Conn., one of Hie best known divines
In Southern New Fngland, sends the
following letter that deserves careful
reading:
"I inn now S(i yenrs of age. and dur
ing my long life have suffered greatly
from dyspepsia, torpid liver, constipa
tion and insomnia, at times thinking I
should die for want of sleep,
."lly the use of several bottles of
Palne's Celery Compound I have so far
recovered my health as to consider
myself a well man for my age. My
appetite is now good, my sleep is re
freshing, my liver active and bowels
regular, and my crutches not needed."

that make old people active, fresh and
young. Look for the name PA INK'S
on each bottle and wrapper. If you
are offered any other kind you are get
ting a substitute that Is worthless.
