TOWANDA 18 DELIGHTED
Tovvomln Dnlly Review's Account of
tlio Purchase of One of Our
Industries.
Towanda has Becurcd a now In
dustry which will give employment
to between 70 and 80 people at good
jvages.
A deal was consummated recent
ly whereby a number of Towanda
capitalists tako over the plant and
good will of tho Wayne Cut Glass
Company, Incorporated, an establish
ment which has boon doing business
at Honesdale for tho past seven
years.
J. S. Brown, president of tho com
pany, accompanied by Prod P. Lee,
superintendent of the plant, nrrlvcd
In Towanda on tho Black Diamond
Wednesday evening, and half an hour
later Mr. Brown and tho Towanda
capitalists had come to terms, papers
were executed and Mr. Leo given in
structions to get ready for business
In the new location.
Tho Tracy shoo factory building
which was recently vacated by tho
Seneca Silk company, which is now
located in its magnificent now homo
on Plank Road street, has been lead
ed for a term of years with an op
tion to buy. Mr. Lee will commence
work to-day and prepare the building
for the installation of the machinery
which will bo moved from Honesdale
at once. It is expected to have the
plant in operntion within 30 days.
The Wayno Cut Glass coi'pany 13
composed of responsible and experi
enced glass men. The olllcers are:
.1. S. Brown, president; Hon. John
Kuhbach, vice president; John Weav
er, Sr., treasurer; J. A. Kimble is
manager, John H. Weaver, Jr., Is of
fice manager, Ambrose Keleher is
foreman of tho roughing department,
and Fred P. Lee Is the superintend
ent. These gentlemen al live In
Honesdalo at present, but under tho
agreement entered into with the To
wanda capitalists they will come to
the county seat of Bradford and give
their best efforts toward making the
plant as big a success here as it has
been in Honesdale. There will bo
no change in tho board of officers of
the management for the time being,
although it is expected that the To
wandaians who have invested their
money in the enterprise will in time,
when they become more familiar with
the business, be known in the direc
torate and active management.
To Hon. George W. Kipp belongs
the lion's share of the credit for
bringing this splendid industry to To
wanda. Mr. Kipp lived in Wayne
county for a number of years, was a
county commissioner, and knew near
ly every man in the county.
One of his intimate friends was
a German, John Kuhbach, a former
member of the state legislature. This
same Mr. Kuhbach took an active In
terest in the politics of this congres
sional district and a few years ago
was the Democratic candidate 'for
Congress, being defeated by Hon. M.
E. Lilley of Towanda. The friendship
of Mr. Kipp and Mr. Kuhbach never
grew cold, and some weeks ago while
Mr. Kipp was in Honesdale, Mr. Kuh
bach made some remark about get
ting out of the glass business. As
they talked, Mr. Kipp became en
thusiastic over the glass industry and
informed Mr. Kuhbach that if the
Wayne Cut Glass company wanted to
dispose of their plant and transfer
their business and good will, he
thought he could Interest enough peo
ple in Towanda to make a deal.
Mr. Kipp returned to Towanda,
took the matter up with U. M. Fell,
M M. Spalding, and other members
of the Business Men's Association,
and an offer was made to tho
Honesdale parties. They took it un
der consideration, tho olllcers of tho
company came to Towanda and
talked tho matter over. In fact they
were here three or four times and
finally reached a verbal agreement,
which is now in writing, and tho
deal closed.
The full terms of the agreement
cannot bo made public, but It has
been given out that the amount of
money involved In the transaction
is very large. Owing to the fact
that the Towanda parties have no
knowledge of the glass business, it
is in tho agreement that tho offi
cers of the Wayno Cut Glass com
pany, thoir superintendent, foremen,
and mnnngoru shall give their at
tention to tho business for a certain
length of time and thus make it a
'e proposition for tho Towanda
iiitallsts. In keeping with this
fement, Superintendent Leo will
renco work to-day, and other
perlenced men in tho glass busl
"c i will Join hands with the To-
i.nua capitalists and endeavor to
t'ako tho plant ono of the largest
cutting establishments in Pennsyl
vania. Tho Wayno Cut Glass company
has an established business, and a
very largo trade, with many orders
on tho books. Ail is taken over In
tho deal just closed and about tho
only thing left of the old buslnoss
is the name of tho company.
Tho company owns a flno largo
building at lionesaaio, wmcn is ful
ly equipped with glass cutting and
finishing machinery. All this ma
chinery will bo moved to Towanda
at onco, and tho building offered for
sale. Tho work of shipping tho ma
chlnory from Honesdalo to Towan
da will bo commenced at once.
The entire floor space of tho large
Tracy building will bo used, and
then It la not expected to havo room
enough.
Last year tho Wayno Cut Glass
Company paid out in wages alono In
Honesdale tho tidy sum of $27,000.
It is expected to Increases this In
Towanda by a third at least, tho
first yoar. From 70 to 80 pcoplo
will bo employed at wages that
range as high as 22 per week. It
Is expected to glvo employment to
a number of young men who desire
to learn tho trndo of glass cutting,
and for this good wages will be
paid. When they bocomo skilled
they make excollcnt wnges.
Cut glass will bo sold to towns
people nt this factory at wholesalo
prices. This Is customary In towns
whore cut glass factories arc In
operation. Souvenirs are manu
factured and It Is hoped to get tho
factory running In town to turn
out n lino of goods for Townnda's
old homo days.
Tho securing of this industry Is
one of the best things that could
bo done for Towanda at this time,
it is an industry of largo proportions,
and as it carries a big payroll, It
means n great deal to the county
scat. Within six wcoks nfter tho
plant starts operations it will bo
ono of tho town's biggest and best
Industries, giving employment at
excellent wages to n large number
of people.
In time tho promoters of tho new
enterprise expect to erect a big fac
tory building and double the ca
pacity of tho plant. They will eith
er do this or buy the Tracy build
ing and erect an addition on the
vacant lot north of the building.
ALASKA'S WONDKItKUl, RICHES.
The world knows a good deal
more about Alaska than it did ten
years ago, but has much yet tq
learn, it is singular that tho knowl
edge of Alaska's great resources has
probably been spread on a larger
scale within the last twelve months
than in all the years that had elapsed
since the purchase; and that this
knowledge has been promoted by
persons whose first-hand informa
tion in the premises is slight. This
enlightment has been diffused
through the medium of sensational
newspapers and magazines some of
it highly inaccurate and mischiev
ous; it has been spread by the
apostles of conservation, big and lit
tle; but the world heretofore has
been so litflo informed as to primary
conditions In this territory, and pub
licly is so welcome, that we cannot
fail to glvo the muckraker his due.
Earnest and sincere advocates of ra
tional conservation, being engaged
in a grteat work for the future of the
race, will receive support In Alaska
as elsewhere.
Alaska is a big territory whose
very bigness is only vaguely appre
ciated by persons at a distance,
whose wealth of resources is just
beginning to bo recognized and
whose climatic conditions have been
misjudged and usually slandered.
Alaska is as large as England, Scot
land and Wales, Prance, Germany,
and Italy combined. It has almost
as wide a diversity of climate as is
found among these countries, al
though the extremes of climate are
not the same. After its acquisition
by the United States in 18G7, and
until 1884, It had no civil govern
ment, but was under the control of
the military authorities. A civil
judicial system was provided in tho
latter year, a governor and other
civil officers being appointed. It was
not until the late nineties that the
value of tho mineral resources was
widely recognized although the pos
sibility of an enormous fishery in
dustry had been appreciated for
some years and the fisheries had un
dergone a considerable development.
As late as 1905 tho complaint that
capital had failed to recognize the
mineral and other great resources of
the territory, outside of tho fisher
ies, was heard everywhere in Alaska.
Even now thero Is an eager desire,
almost universal, that capitalists en
ter the Alaska field; and not much
honest fear that capital will "gobble
up tho country" and oppose the
poor prospector and minor. Tho
sane opinion is that capital can bo
properly controlled In Alaska, and
there can be no doubt in any honest
mind that capital is indispensable in
a country as vast and isolated and
rugged ns this. Technical World.
EARLY TRAINING OF SINGERS.
Many of the "Golden Throats" Were
Perfected by Nature,
As some of us know, Adollua Pattl
sang as a child. Her voice required
little or no training. Its beauty and
placoinont werejUod-given. All Paul's
wiso guardians did was to protect her
against oxposure of all kinds. Pattl
mado nor operatic debut at an ago
when It would bo a crime to begin tho
vocal training of tho average girl.
Nollie Molba is another whoso gold
en throat was perfected by nature.
When Melba left her Australian ho.ne
for Paris, where sho acquired somo
"frills." her voice was perfect, so no
one, unless It bo the unknown teacher
In far-away Melbourne can honestly
claim any credit for Molba's "vocal
method."
Mme. Tetrazzlnl, who camo rather
lato Into her own was always a nat
ural singer. It Is reported that she
studied tone production but five
months. But Tetrazslnl llvod in the
homo of her sister Mmo. Campanlnl,
who is a singer, and hearing this sis
ter practice for years supplied the
clover listener with Ideas which on
onablod her to curtail her own studies

AHSUItl) COSTUMES.
Outcome of a Curious Wnger Made
in England in 1800.
A wager was mado In 180C In the
castle yard, York, England, between
Thomas Hodgson and Samuel White
head as to which should succeed In
assuming tho most singular char
acter. Umpires woro selected whose
duty It was to dccldo upon tho com
parative absurldlty of the costumes
In which tho two men wcro to ap
pear. On the appointed day Hodg
son came boforo tho umpires deco
rated with banknotes of various
values, his coat and vest being on
tlrcly covered with thorn. Besides
theso ho had a row of five guinea
pieces down his back, a netted purse
of gold around his head and n pla
card on his back bearing tho legend,
"John Bull."
Whitehead camo on "tho scene
dressed llko a Woman on one side,
one half of his faco painted and a'
silk stocking and slipper on ono foot
and leg. Tho other half of his faco
was blackened so as to resemble a
negro. On tho corresponding side
of his body ho woro a gaudy long
tailed linen coat, his leg on that side
being Incased In half a pair of
leather breeches and a boot with n
spur. Ho woro a wig of sky blue
braided down his back and tied with
yellow, red nud orange colored rib
bons. Ono would naturally fancy that he
presented the most singular and
ludicrous appearance, but the um
pires must have thought differently,
as they awarded the stakes, some
20, to Hodgson. London Tatler.
