The Young Journalists.

The Youngest Journalists in the
United States are two lads known as
the Snow brothers. Their names are
Earl E. and Horace H. Snow, and
their ages are thirteen and nine re-
spectively.
On July IA, 1894, they began the
publication of the Star News, a small
folio sheet. They have published this
paper egularly every second week
since it's initial number.
Both junior editors are unusually
bright, and it did not take them long
to learn the art of typesetting and
printing. The only aid they were able
to get in acquiring their trade were
the type specimen books and printers
catalogues. s-"
The Star is issued without any as
sistance from outsiders. Earl, the cid ~
lad, prepares all copy and assists in
typesetting. He has great journalistic
aspirations. He also displays excel
lent taste in setting display advertise
ments. Horace attends to the distri-
button Of the type and "kicks' the
press. When there is no work 20 be
done indoors both boys go out and hus-
tie for "ads'' and subscriptions.
The Star News is patronized by the
leading merchants Of the town where
the paper is published. The mechani-
cal part of their work ypesetting,
running the press and that sort Of
thing-is attended to mornings and
evenings. The boys attend school in
the afternoon. II these young newspa-
per men are not heard from some day

The Heroic Cat of Holloway

A Warning to Flower Statues.
In Holloway's delightful groves
A garden may be found
Where posies of effulgent hue
Shed fragrance all around.
A BLACKBOARD little boy, whose name
The Muse will not disclose,
Plucked many gay carnation there,
And one most lovely rose.
A cat who saw the felony
Resolved on vengeance dire;
A feline feeling for the flowers
Excited all her ire.
''You BLACKBOARD little boy" she
mewed,
"How dare you steal that rose?"
And meWing so, she upward sprang
And bit him on the nose!
Now, blackguard little boys, beware
Lest, if you roses thieve,
An honest cat may bite you in
A way to make you grieve.
Let not your soapless little hands
Do anything amiss-
If Doctor Watts were now alive,
He would have written this.

ABORN OPERA COMPANY.

The Milton Aborn Opera company
opened Il weeks engagement at the
Academy of Music last night with

A full house greeted the opening per-
formance and attested by frequent ap-
plause and almost continual laughter
that the company will be well adver-
tised for the following performances.
Though cheap prices prevail, it Is the
only cheap thing about the show. The
company is good-sized. the costuming
is rich and the staging is by no means

terpreters of the music. Joseph w.

the leading soloist, which can be said
without any great disparagement to
the !other principals. Warren d. Lom-
bard, John D. Dewey, Miss Ethel Vim
cent and Miss Louise Moore, all of
whom are very clever singers.
The comedy end of the performance
is looked after by the old comic opera
favorite, Frank Wooley, and Mr.. Aborn
himself. They are an original team,
and can be relied upon to make the
weeks entertainments overflow with
fun.

NEW ARMORY SUGGESTED.
Drill Room May BE Used for the Stat
Christian EndcavOr Convention.


A suitable and available structure
in which to hold the, big state Christian
Endeavor convention in this city next
year is a problem that has puzzled the
convention committee. There is no
5000, 1900 or 5000 persons who will at
tend the various sessions, and to build
suitable temporary structure will cost
$4,000 or $4,000.
1t was recently suggested to con-
vention committee that possibly the
ground floor or drill space of the pro-
posed Thirteenth regiment armory
could be constructed in time to turn
it into an immense audience hall. The
committee decided 1t would be better
to pay the regiment a rental Of from
$1,000 to $1,000 rather than spend from
$4,000 to $4,000 for temporary building
This proposition received such favor
that 1t was mentioned to Colonel Cour-
sen and it was discussed at last nights
quarterly meeting of the officers of the
regiment.
While no definite action was taken
the discussion of the officers indicated
that the idea will probably not be car
ried out. There Is no doubt that the
drill floor and walls could be built before
convention week, but time is not the
only question at issue. Many of the
subscriptions to the armory building
fund We're made with the provision that
certain sum be first secured. The to-
tai contributions do not now warrant
a contract with the convention commit
tee, and another impediment is offered
in the absence of arrangements be-
tween trustees of the old Scranton City
Guard and the armory people regarding
the land.
Until the many sides to the new ar
mory question are settled the PROPOSE
tion Of the convention committee cam
not be finally dealt with. And with
this understanding the question was
abandoned last night, to be reconsid-
cred later.

DEMURRER Is OyERRULED.
Alderman Miliar Directed to Make
Answer Within Fifteen Days.

Judge Gunster handed down an opin-
ion yesterday in the case of Alderman
o. Il. Wright against Alderman w. S.
Millar overruling the demurrer filed by
City Solicitor Torrey, representing the
defendant. The detaiis of the case m
substance are these: Alderman Wright,
as magistrate of the Ninth ward, filed
bill in equity asking for an injunction
to restrain Alderman Millar, as magis-
trate of the Eighth ward, from holding
police court in the Ninth ward, that is
at the Municipal building.
When the case came up for argument
Mr. TOrrey filed demurrer and argued
that the plaintiff had not shown suffi-
cient cause to warrant the court to in
terfere. The opinion yesterday was
lengthy and overruled the demurrer,
also requiring the defendant to file an
answer within fifteen days.

country, but who has honesty. ability
and pluck. Such describes Mr.. Bartl
when he came to this country in 1881,
but today he is in the front rank Of
the best civil and mining engineers
of this part Of the state, is a citizen Of
public spirit and will creditably serve
the public in the Office to which he will
be elected today. r.
A strong point in Mr.. Bartrs favor Is
that he Is not affiliated with any body
or organization that interferes with the
rights of American citizenship, or sets
itself up against the right Of a man to
act and do as he pleases within the
law. He is simply a man Of the people
whose brain and honest purpose have
raised him to the level of any other
citizen. He is not candidate because
the Repubncan party owes him any
thing: he is a candidate because he Is a
fit man for the office.
