Eoc-Select CouucHnuin Wade M. Fiun,
Who Has Been a Conl Operator In
the Electric City for Years Pur
chases the Coal'Trnct and Improve
ments Will Make Improvements
to Assuro Output of 300 Tons Daily.
May Build a -New Breaker.
Following immediately the Hurries In
nimnoihl clroles by the steps looking to
the establishment or two new bunks in
Carbnndule, and the proposed erection
f a breaker on the 'Snulie Williams'
tract near Xo. -I conies another Import
ant deal that will undoubtedly bo quite
ii lively topic or discussion In tliese
same circles.
Ex-Select Councilman AVaile M. Finn,
of Scranton, has purchased .of.AV. 1..
Itarton, the lattcrs' mine property lo
cated in the northern part of this city,
east of Uclmont street, ami easily
reached fby the Ontario and Western
railroad.
Mr. -Finn contemplates extensive Im
provements In view of the fact that
well known mining experts, who visit
ed the property yesterday, have given
as their opinion that the amount ana
quality of the coal yet to be mined are
or groat value.
Mr. Finn, in spending yester day. of
the purchase and contemplated im
provements, said that ho Intends to
preparb about Sftll tons per day, and If
tho present building is not In condi
tion to do this, work satisfactorily, It
will be torn down and a now one erect
ed immediately.
.Mr. Finn is recognized as an author
ity In the matter of coal mining, having
very successfully developed coal prop
erties and operated collieries In Scran
ton for a number of years. Ml'. Finn
has served several tei ms as select coun
cilman of the city of Pcranton, and for
years lias been a prominent politician,
ilo was also n poor tax collector for the
city of Sornntun. He is u frequent vis
itor to Carbondale and during the sum
mer he lives In his cottage at Crystal
lake. ' , ;.
Mr. Finn Is a man of thoroughly
practical ways. Me is shrewd in bus
iness calculations, progressive and ener
getic in spirit and In every way qual
ified to fully develop the Barton prop
erty and make it no small factor in
the city's industrial life. The tract of
coal land that he has purchased Is
known to contain a very fine quality of
coal. It was opened and partly worked
by the llrm of .Stroud & Chamberlain a
number of years ago. Those who are
competent to judge of the value of the
property and are acquainted with Mr.
Finn's practical methods and his shrewd
judgment, do not hesitate to predict
that that he will realize very profitably
on his Investment.
ANOTHER NEW BANK.
Scranton Men Make Application for
a Charter Identity of Projectors
Not Disclosed.
It looks as if Carboudule is to lmve
a fourth bank. Beside the new institu
tion projected solely by Carboudale
business men, as related in The Tribune
yesterday, Scranton men of financial
strength and of successful careers are
to enter the field.
This was established by the udver-,
tlsoment yesterday of tho application;
for a charter to be known as "The
Dime Deposit and Discount Bank, of
Carbondale." The capital stock Is
named nt '$."0,000. Col. F. J. Fltzslui
inons, of Scranton, who was in Carbon
dale Thursday night, represents the ap
plicants. Strangely enough, this was
the name considered but not finally de
cided upon by the Carboudule men.
Now that the Scranton people have
made their application, the former will
liavw to change their title.
The Ideality of the Scranloa moneyed
men who regard this as a good Held for
a bank investment Is being prudently
Kept concealed. It is asserted, how
ever, that they have abundant re
sources and are practical enough to un
dertake tho enterprise and carry It out.
II Is also sold that one-half of tho cap
Hal stock. $.'11,0(10 will be subscribed by
Carbondale men. The developments of
both projects will lie Interesting to ob
serve. COAL AGENTS LEAVE.

,,'i'lie visitors' presence la Carboudale
was due to tho scarcity of coal In tho
cltlos from whonco they came, which
Jit some places is almost equal to a
famine. Owlna to the Inability of tho
railroads, rushed to tho limit of their
greatly Increased facilities of shipping,
jo 'carry to market sutllclont coal to
meet tho enormous demand following
,tho depletion of stock yards, these rep
resentatives deemed it advlcablo and
necessary to come here uud remain on
tho ground to seouro whatever ship
ments they could,
Tho" efforts to get sulllclent coal were
so, 1 1 edged about with dlfllctiltles that
the visiting men had to spend almost
two months here, employing persuasion,
diplomacy and entreaties sometimes
-with the Delaware and Hudson oilkiula
here 'to' send this or that shipment til a
certain place, This' is a new experience

Christmas Gossip.
One woman said: "jOh, if I could only allow $5 apiece
for each of my thirty presents! But I cant, and a dollar-and-a-half
or two dollars at the most won't buy anything." And,
she wound up by saying: "I hate Christmas." That'
woman is clearly wrong. Her spirit and feeling are wrong ;
her mental attitude is wrong and her eyes are wrong.
This is the time of year when material things give way;
to spiritual. It isn't the gift or what it costs that counts; it's
the spirit in the gift. Being remembered is what brings joy,
not the extravagance of the remembrance. There are thous
ands of gifts here for $1 and $2 as anybody- who uses his
legs and his eyes can see.
Women's
Neckwear
The dainty Utile stocks that
women are wearing now make
lovely Christmas gifts. Ready
made they cost less than if made
at home. 50c, 7uc, $1.00.
Tucked stocks,with long ends
that cross at the back and come
around to fasten or tie in front,
are among- the prettiest.
All sorts of fluffy jabots in
boxes, 50c, 7uc, 1 and $1.25,
made of chiffon and Liberty
silk.
Can't begin to tell you everything.

Christmas
Umbrellas

silver caps; also ivory and

In the regular holiday collec
tion are rare things, such as
carved ivories with silver de
posit, steel handles, inlaid with
gold, amber handles banded
with gold. And of the plainer
sorts silver and gold in less
extravagant designs, and wood
en handles by the thousand.
Prices range from 75c. to $15.00
Handkerchiefs
Here is the greatest bargain,
perhaps, we ever had in white
embroidered hemstitched hand
kerchiefs ; Dc each, or $1.00 a
dozen; 50c a half dozen for
new, fresh, perfect Handker
chiefs that usually sell for 15c.
to 25c each.
; Not a thing wrong with them
even' the hem is the fine nar
row kind that everybody wants.
Don't -ask us how we got
them it's enough that they're
here.
Furs
Some men are so skilled in
the feel and look of furs as to
be able to tell almost the de
grees of latitude and longitude
in which the animal lived.
It is such skill combined with
the advantages of an enormous
business,- that enter into our
furs. We 'sell .as. merchants,
and are satisfied with a mer
chant's profit. But the skill
used in the selection of our furs
isthc same quality which makes
great furriers famous.
So our furs are fine skilful
ly chosen; and the prices are
at least 25 per cent, under the
market.
