COLLINS & HAcKETT.
Y9 Tournament
OF Ye Clothiers. of Scranton.


Come listen, all ye p eople, to the wonders
that befell
At the tournament of Clothiers-a true
story that ! tell;
1t is like the knightly wonders, that oc'
Cured in battles won
By the great and noble Launcelot in the
tales Of Tennyson.
It's up to date in time and place, and sure
to interest;
It tells how COLLINS g. HAcKETT in COM
bat got the best
OF all the competition that is known the
country 'roand.
IL makes o most dramatic %tale-none bet.
ter can be found
The combatants came early-they were
eager Tor the fray.
And they rode oil sorts of horses, never
seen until that day.
The champion % a mustang, that coul(
kick and break a rock.
And the legend on his blanket read, "Yor
bet we own our stock"
Another rode u prancing sJeed and seemed
to cut u swell.
And turning showed his name to be, eve
make tho Clothes We SELL"
Another rode q raw-boned horse, stone
blind in both his eyes.
And boosted the eccentric name; NV,
neve advertise"
Came dolesul-visaged Bankrupt Stock
80 sleepy that he SHORES.
And one who bore tho banner-"We owl
our stores.'
And other minor knights were there il
quaint or bright array.
All hoping that Dame Fortune coy night
cast her smiles their way.
But here are two youngsters in the throng,
lads whom no one knows.
On O blooded horse-''Promoters of Fint
Fashionable Clothes"
The eager press close to them; the knight
around them flock.
And read upon their blazing shield thu
magic words, FINEST STOCK"
Fine clothes, fine cut, fine styles, fine fits
were weapons int heir hand.
With that honest reputation SO well known
throughout the land.
And then then the people understood aS
clear as light of day
That the Igreatest living forces would
wrestle IN the fray.
The crowd set up a mighty cheer and
swelled it long and loud.
The other knights were jealous--CoLLINs
81 HACKETT won the crowd.
The trumpets blew a mighty blast, which
told thom all that they
Would quickly seS tho fight for 'tReady-
made" supremacy.
There was h%urrying, there was s~kurrying,
there WA clash Of brass and steel.
Horses stumbled, men were humbled, as
from off their steeds they reel.
Hours the rough and tumble lasted, and
the mud aud feathers flew,
Till the str can from off the horses hid the
CORY sceno from view.
But at last the fight grew feeble. and to
every ones surprise
COLLINS q HACKRTT walked alone with
victory in thoir eyes.
Tho multitude went crazy, wild; 1t yelled
with sheer delight.
As tho GRACIOUS PUBLIc crowned with
laurel wreaths the victor knights.
Now to the heroes daily flocks the crowd,
for well 1t knows
That none can equal or surpass COLLINS &
HACKETT'S clothes;
And mothers tell their children of that day
and its great racket,
And advise them evernore to buy Of Col

So many people were disappointed last
year when the Home for the Friendless
was so unfortunate as to have one Of the
most disagreeable days of the season for
its annual excursion that numerous re-
quests were made that the Parlor City
should be again made the destination Of
another excursion. Ross park was 80
beautiful in its drowned condition that
the visitors were certain of the pleasure
to be enjoyed there in fair weather. Con-
s%equently the Home excursion on June Z
promises to be the most successful ever
managed by this charitable organization.

DID NOT like THE BAY
When MI. LUZ Went 10 Return II He Was
Put Out.
The JURY Gave HIM A verdict
S. B. Mott, Assignee of the Hyde
Park Bank, Sued G. P. Jadwin to
Recover on a Note-Jury Returned
Verdict for Full Amount of the Note
with lnterest-Jury in the Ward
Case Returns a Sealed Verdict.

The case OF Peter Lutz against John
Brown for the recovery of the value of
u horse was tried before Judge Ed
wards in court room No. 1 yesterday.
The allegation vas that during the
summer Of 1890 Brown agreed to sell
Lutz a bay horse or a gray horse and
carriage for 1925. The money was
paid with the understanding that Lutz
was to have u week in which to decide
as to which horse he would take. The
bay horse was first tested and, not
proving satisfactory, the gray was next
taken for trial. The latter proved less
satisfactory still and Mr.. Lutz look him
back and asked for the bay, but Mr..
Brown refused to allow the exchange
to be made. Then Lutz demanded the
bay horse or the return of the money
and was run off the premises for his
trouble.
Attorneys Newcomb and Bertholf
appeared for the plaintiff and Attor'
ney James Mahon represented the de-
Tense. The defense wRs hat Lutz in
exchanging the horses had made a
trade and must abide by it. After the
evidence had been submitted and the
case duly argued it was submitted to
the jury who found for the plaintiff in
the sum Of $11O.7O.
SUIT ON A NOTE.
Before Judge Schuyler the case of S.
B. Mott, assignee, against G. p. Jad-
win, was tried yesterday. The plaintiff
was represented by Attorneys John e
Scragg and Edward Merriield, and At.
torneys w. Gaylord Thomas and G..
Comegys plead the defendants cause.
The suit was brought to recover the
value of IA note of $3.50 given by tho de-
PENDANT to w. Fl. Hartford. who after
ward assigned it to the bank. The note
was given in 1875 and with interest
now amounts to over 81, 600. This note,
with others, was Rfterward given to
the First National bank as security for
a loan OF $4,000. but was returned to
the Hyde Park bank whom the loan was
paid back.
The dsfense was that Mr.. Jadwin
never received any value for the note
that it was signed when the bank was
nhEu up, mertly as All dCCouiuOuu tlOu
to help the institution to weather its
financial troubles. When in the hands
Of the First National bank, Mr.. Jad-
win admitted that it was good against
himself, but that It lost ali value when
1t was returned to the Hyde Park bank,
The plaintiffs, however, claimed that
value was received by Mr.. Jadwin.
Nearly tho entire day was taken will
the evidence and the arguments of tbs
lawyers. 1t did not take the jury Ions
to arrive at a decision in favor of tn,
plaintiffs for full amount Of the note
with interest from date.

THE public spirit manifested by
the great house of the Mermod &
Jaccard Jewelry Company st. Louis,
in Offering the liberal prizes referred
to in their advertisement in
this issue of the LEDGER, can
not be too highly commended. 1t
was the same courageous and broad.
minded policy that prompted them
to make their grand exhibition at
the Worlds Fair last year-where,
in the face of the competition of the
greatest establishments of Europe,
the Mermod & Jaccard Co. carried
off the highest awards for the fine
ness of their diamonds, the artistic
workmanship of their jewelry, the
original designs of their silverware,
and the daintiness of their display
of society stationery. This liberality,
while seemingly extravagant, re-
bounds to their credit, and makes
them new friends far and wide, and
readily explains how so large a bus
iness has been built up in our west
ern metropolis. We trust our readers
who visit the great st. Louis Fair
viii also visit this magnificent es-
tablisbment, for they will certainly
see much to entertain and instruct,
whether they wish to make pur,
chases or not.
