.zed by them in return.

TIE article in yesterday 3 ARD
MoaElTE relative to cleaning out
the horse traders from South
Ca1do street, seems to have
aroused the ire Of some of that
profession. To them we can only
say, if the language employed
did not describe their methods of
doing business, they have not
beon damaged in the least. IL can
not be denied that there were
some among them who are crook
ed, and it was them alone the
ARDMoREITE was after. We are
aware that some honest men trade
horses; their every day actions
protect them from harm. We
have been asked why we did not
give the names of those who
robbed the boy. Our reason was
simply because we could not OBJ
tain them. and not because we
wished TO make the charge gem
eral in its application or because
we were afraid to be personal in
the matter.

FOR CITY POLICEMAN
TO ADVERTISERS.

To the merchants who desire
to catch the city trade, a. well
as that of the country, the ARD
MoRErTE offers the best medium
of Advertising. 1t enters and is
read in nearly every house in the
city, not once a week but every
day, Sundays excepted. Its rates
are liberal and its policy is to
give value received. 1t labors in
and out Of season for the good of
Ardmore, thus benefitting every
business man by its efforts. For
this reason il has claims for pat
ronage that should be duly recog-
nized by them in return.

SUPPLY COMMITTEE CHALLENGED.

Editor OF THE TRIBUNE.
DEAR SIR:-Owing to the controversy
that has come up in the school board over
the purchase Of supplies, and in which l
have been brought forward for comments
pro and con on my action, deem 1t justice
to myself to give tie public an explanation.
The request in the newspaper for bids
called for 30, 900 pads made from "a by IS,
40-pound paper, 100 sheets to the pad. l
put in bids on complete line of paper,
and finally on the selection of the pad, a
35-pound newspaper pad was selected, bid
on by Reynolds Bros. as 40 pounds. price
sl92O per 1000. Ny paper the same
weight and same grade was bid on by me
at SIG per 1000, making a difference Of S04
| between my bid and Reynolds Bros. The
contract was awarded to them at the ad-
vanced price. l went before the board
and offered to prove by machine and testi-
mony that my paper was equal or better
than Reynolds Bros. My offers were re-
| jected.
| Another article that was bid on, was
Oakland Mills writing paper. This paper
was bid on by me at II Il cents per pound.
| 1t was awarded TO Price & Roe at 1875
cents per pound, making difference of
some $50 more than was bid on by me for
| the same paper.
My assertion that my paper was equal
to the successful bidders. has been doubt
ed. We have $50 to forfeit to any hos
pital in the city Of Scranton, If we cannot
prove by newspaper men in this city that
our paper is equal or better. The asser-
tion was also made by member Of the
supply committee that my bid was not in
proper shape. Ny assertion is that it was
the most complete bid that was put in. A
motion was made to appoint committee
Of three to investigate my charges. The
motion was withdrawn. now challenge
the supply committee, the board Of con-
troll, Reynolds Bros. or Price & Roe to ap-
point committee to investigate what l
have said. If this committee is not ap.
pointed the taxpayers Of the city Of Scran-
ton can draw their own conclusions. l
stand ready at any time to back up my
assertions.
Last year book paper was specified to be
bid on. We all bid on book paper. Rey.
nolds Bros. put in a bid that stated that
they would furnish book paper, 40-pount
basis; therefore the contract was awarded
to them. They furnished 35-pound news
paper and 1t was accepted by the board.
| Very respectfully yours,
| w. H. WITHERs.

THOSE CONTRACTS FOR SUPPLIES

Editor Of THE TRIBUNE;
The awarding of the contracts for
school supplies for the coming year, as
recommended by the supply committee,
surely bears investigation by the school
controllers and taxpayers. The supplies
in previous years have been furnished by
the lowest responsible bidder and the
question is, why should there be any dis.
tinction or discrimination in the present
casep
Where there are several grades and
qualities Of writing paper and pads to Sc
lect from the committee could easily show
their preference for certain weight OF
finish but where the articles are distinct
ly specified and described and there is alb
solutely no difference in quality or size,
there is no room for argument and the ar
tices below should be awarded to the low
est bidder. Following is a comparative
statement of supplies as awarded by the
committee. Awarded Price & Roe and
M. Norton, six cases enameled crayon, S3S
G. b. Pratts bid, S29,70. Awarded NJ

OPERA WAS WELL SUNG.

Audience at Academy.
De Kovsn and Smiths charming
opera, 1.-The Fencing Master" was
sung to a delighted audience at the
Academy Of Music last night. The
title role was taken by Miss Dorothy
Morton, a winsome young woman who
three nights ago made her first debut
as leading lady. She is almost an exact
counterpart of Marie Tempest, who
created the role, and has sweet voice
of wide range. She possesses
dramatic ability and knowledge OF
stage articles, too, and by her work
last evening won golden opinions from
the audience. She seems destined to
make name in comic opera that will
find place with those Of Lillian Rus
sell, Marie Jansen. Marie Tempest and
Della Fox. Last season Miss Morton
had minor part in the "Algsrians'
and the season previous she was in the
chorus Of a popular price opera COM
pany.
David Terrence as Fortuuio made q
dashing aud impulsive glover, and sang
his lines with much spirit and feeling.
He was last season member of Rich
ard Mansfield's company, but has de-
serted the drama for comic opera.
Miss Bertha Bsylis as the Countess
Fillipa gave evidence of the ownership
of sympathetic and pleasing
voice. In the last act she sang
Dreams" in a manner that drew
forth hearty encore. II wa.
the first time the song was rendered in
public. and Miss Baylis, though seme
what nervous regarding Its reception,
gave it beautiful Interpretation. H.

A PAlLaRTHRoPIc ACT.

B. Moses Has Two Urchins Released
from the County Jail on Bail.
On June 80 last two boys, James Nc.
Mel and William Greeves, both or
phans and friendless, were committed
to the county Jail to await trial for
stealing a watermelon from the Della
ware and Hudson freight depot. Their
youth and the insignifcance of their
crime won the pity Of B. Moses, of
franklin avenue, who visited the Jail
on Sunday last and yesterday he began
proceedings to have the boys released.
In the morning he tried to have q
habeas corpus issued, but owing to his
failure to readily find judge and his
impatience to have the boys liberated,
he went in the afternoon before Alder
man Wright, the committing magis-
trate in the case. and entered bail foi
them, They will be released from Gus
tody this morning.
