TWO TICKETS
Luzerne Republicans Are
Hopelessly Split.
Controller Lloyd Takes His
Contest to the Courts.
Dr. Hays Will Run Inde
pendently for Coroner.
The alleged action of the Republican
machine in counting out anti-Quay can
didates for oflice at the convention last
Tuesday lias not been accepted so grace
fully as the machine leaders expected.
Controller Lloyd's contention, that his
vote in the Second legislative, district
was not properly returned, is to be aired
in the courts. He claims a majority
over Arthur Dick, of llazleton, who has
been named as the party nominee for
controller, and he intends to put up a
strong fight for his claim.
Controller Lloyd has retained counsel
for a legal contest, and some sensational
disclosures are promised.
At the county convention on Tuesday,
which the Quayites ruled with a high
hand, the tellers reported a majority of
seventy-three for Dick over Lloyd.
This return was challenged by Lloyd,
who claimed twenty-seven majority.
A recount of the vote was ordered, the
Quayites conducting it.
After thirty-six hours the machine
leaders announced at noon yesterday
that "Dick had defeated Lloyd by a
small majority." They gave no figures.
Then Lloyd arranged with his attorney
to carry the matter to court.
Dr. Hays, who was declared defeated
by the machine for the nomination for
coroner, will run independently. He
says he was counted out by the leaders.
A complete anti-Quay ticket may be
placed in the field, as the "antls" believe
they have been outrageously cheated.
Celebrated the Fourth.
Independence Day was celebrated in
town without any formal program. The
picnic conducted at the Public park bj
the Citizens' Hose Company was a large
affair and the grounds were well filled
during the afternoon and evening.
The small boy was out in full force
with his fire-cracker and kept up a
constant din all day. In the evening he
was joined by his larger brother, who
with revolver and other noise-producers;
kept up the firing until midnight.
Considering the amount of explosives
and fireworks set oft, there were only a
few accidents, none of which can be
classed as serious.
This locality was given very line
weather.
Fairness of Spirit.
From Ha/.lcton Trades Unionist.
The office of the Freeland Tribune
has been unionized, and to celebrate the
fourteenth year of its existence the
paper carried the union label at its
masthead on Monday. The managers of
the Tribune are possessed of that true
principle which denotes a fairness of
spirit. In its fourteenth anniversary
the Tribune has the congratulations of
The Trades Unionist, and the hope is
extended that the path of our North
Side contemporary may ho strewn with
roses for the remaining years of its
battle in newspaperdoin.

Miners to Control Output.
There is much discussion among the
miners of the entire region regarding
the action of District No. 7 in starting a
movement to control the output of an
> thracite, so that the market cannot be
come overstocked. The general senti
ment is in favor of prompt and concert
ed action.
President T. D. Nichols, of District
No. 1, would not discuss tho movement
except to say that undoubtedly District
No. 1 would approve tho resolutions of
I District No. 7 at the convention within
• the next few days. He added that it

For live hours lie chased Gallagher a
distance of three miles through woods
and swamp. Gallagher finally found
1 refuge in an abandoned house and suc

Gallagher's cries for aid attracted the

FOR THE CHILDREN
A Little Talk About Savins*.
A distinguished economist felt that It
was as necessary to teach a child to
save as to train him to earn, says
American Boy. lie formulated a sys
tem of savings for the lower schools of
France so wise and efficient that In ten
years there were In France 21,000
school savings banks, with 142,020 de
positors, whose weekly average depos
its of 15 centimes had amounted to
10,248,220 francs, or over $2,000,000.
The establishment of the banks was
left to the voluntary efforts of the
teachers. The children deposited pock
et money only, and it was made a part
of every Monday morning exercise.
The French cultivate the saving hab
it. Mine. C'arnot gave a dinner to 400
of tlie poorest children of Paris and at
its close gave to each one a bankbook
containing a credit of 10 francs. When
floods spread desolation and want in
the south of France, the children of the
schools of Bordeaux freely gave from
their savings S4OO for the relief of the
sufferers.
There are some school honks In our
jwn country, and when the penny de
positors of the school bank of Long Is
land city heard of the great Johnstown
flood they sent $452 out of their sav
ings as their contribution.
Every boy as soon as lie is old enough
to spend money should be given a legit
imate means of earning It or a regular
Allowance, which at first may he made
to cover his pleasures and gradually in
creased to include his necessities and
charities. A boy ought to learn how to
give as well as how to save and so
should give his own money to the
church or Sunday school. Lot the boy
take care of Ids own money.
Ida M. Hodman in The Mother's Jour
nal says in writing on tlds subject: A
child seldom has sufficient will to ena
ble him to work for a distant object
steadily. lie lives In tlie present, but.
every time ho denies himself some tri
lling, pleasant gratification in order to
save a few dollars to buy something of
real value lie has received a valuable
lesson. Our primary object is not to
persuade him to accumulate money, but
to prevent him from spending it un
wisely. In some eases in order to stim
ulate the hoy to put aside his pennies
for a specific object it Is helpful to
promise to add a certain amount to the
savings. .
