The absence of the Lathropes and
the lack of beef in the line made the
School of the Lackawanna easy Tor
Wyoming Seminary's scrubs. Inc
Lackawannas gave evidence of the
care they have received from Coach
Bliss. but it was only occasionally that
til " had an opportunity of putting his
advice into practice. The superior
weight of the Kingston men made the
game so onc-sided that it was unnter-
tstiug.
wyoming made the first touchdown
from the kickoff without losing the
hall. 1t was carried from the semin-
aiys ten-yard line down the whole
length Of the field with a series or
fierce rushes through the line. The
i.acl,awanna line withstoOd the ham,

mora lZcd that they could do nothing
whatever with the seminary rushers.

kicked the goal The Wyomings made
another touchdown and goal in the
same fashion. On the next kick-oif
Wyoming fumbled and Gavin fell on
the ball for Lackawanna. After few
short gains Mott kicked. Wyoming
fumbled and on the line up Mott again
kicked. Stark caught it and fell be-
hind his own goal. a Lackawanna
man was on top Of him and safety
was credited to the Scranton boys.
In the second half Clark made weak

ball going to the seminarians on Lack

in short order, with Lewis on top of It..
The kick was blocked by Clark. wy

kick-oI until Yohe was pushed over
tire line for the fifth touchdown. The
Rick was again blocked. Wyoming
was trying for another touchdown,

methods that the cook would be prac-
tically useless in an old-fashioned
kitchen. When chicken has been
prepared and placed in an electric oven
II Is only necessary to press button
and watch the clock. As the heat Is
obtained from overcharged wires Is
distributed evenly all around the bird.
Basting is. therefore. not necessary,
and the eXpertness Of cooking becomes
a mere question of time allowance. A
leg of lamb, for instance, will require
just one hour and ten minutes to cook.
Left in the oen three minutes longer
than this and 1t would be overdone. 1t
Is not necessary to look in mean time.
The dining room of this house Is ex-
Quisite in tone, the lights shedding
gentle radiance down from the ceiling.
1t is said that the owner even contem-
plated an electric table which would
sink out Of sight and it place be taken
by another after each course had been
eaten. much after the Roman fashion
of table removal. The nearest ap-
proach in this case, however. is an
electric dumbwaiter, large enough to
carry whole dinner course. 1t is but
one remove from the other idea. The
dining table abounds in call bells. The
master of the house can give a private
signal through the floor by means of
foot push button.

ALL HOME MADE.

The current used in this plant is all
generated on the premises. The house
is not situated along the line of street
current. The owner had therefore to
install his own plant. Storage batter
les supply the current to the house.
The cells themselves are stored by
dynamo. which is worked in its turn
by gas engine. This entails no trou-
BILE, however, because the switches on
the elaborate switchboard are worked
automatically by side current from
the cells. A colored man servant keeps
his eye on the machinery, and an ex-
perienced electrical man pays the house
visit at intervals of one or two
months. This in a measure proves the
feasibility Of electric lighting for coun-
try residences.
In fact, everything seems to be done
at touch of button in this house,
and the inhabitants have become thor
oughly used to 1t. The owner has tried
to enjoy some of the delights of ordin-
ary activity by becoming a photograph
tiend, but here the modern destiny Of
the mansion has pursued him, and his
private studio Is electric" Arc con-
centrating lamps enable the owner to
take pictures day and night, and there
are electric developing processes on
which he experiments. He has even
had wires run underground from ms
cellar plant to the houses of his busi-
ness partners and for his father-in-
law on the next street. He supplies
them with lighting current. 1t is not
apparent that there are any electric
hair curriers' or electric cigar lighters
in the house, but there is no reason
| why they should not have been con-
cealed in some out Of the way corner.
In short If there is a genius Of domes-
tic electricity abroad it would prob
| ably select this house for its residence.

THAT BLOODLESS DUEL.

to accept silver, for silver was then
scarce. No one then had an idea that
there would ever be such a difference
in the price of gold and silver. The
government has never used anything
but gold in dealing with its creditors.
1t has demanded gold for bonds, and
has paid its bonds in gold. Mr.. Bryan
asks that this sacred war debt be re-
pudiated and paid in 5O-cent dollars.
Mr.. Bryan found great fault with Mr..
Cleveland for his dealings with a bond
syndicate. The Republican party is not
called upon to support Mr.. Cleveland,
and It was opposed as much as any one
else to the issue Of bonds. The Presi-
dent of the United States was compelled
TO maintain the parity between gold
and silver, for If he did not we would
be on silver basis. 1t was necessary
to have gold in the Treasury to main
tain the equilibrium. The facts were
that Mr.. Cleveland called the attention
OF Congress to the matter, and asked
for relief. He gave notice to Congress
that he must issue bonds If the relief
did not come. For maintaining the par
ity Grover Cleveland deserves the
thanks OF the people. When relief was
asked the Republican House came to
the assistance of the President The
five snver senators, however, annexed
amendments to the bills for relief, pro-
viding for the free coinage of silver.
These men are now the supporters of
Mr.. Bryan. Interest to the amount of
S2O,OO0,0O0 has been put upon the coun-
try because the silver men refused to
come to its assistance.
Mr.. Bryan and his friends say that II
afl fc ha
will be the most extraordinary pros
perity ever seen. The ratio OF 16 to / is
asked for. The present ratio of value
is 80 to /. He predicts that laboring
men are to be happy and troubles will
cease. Silver is to so to the value OF
gold. The farmer is TO be made happy
The streets OF the New Jerusalem. in
stead of being gold will be silver.
Were this true all would favor IL
But what is the practical truth? II is q
request for the Government Of the
United States to put its stamp upon q
coin and proclaim lie; il is to scatter
abroad a dollar which is worth but 5,
cents, but call It a dollar. If O. mar
should work on a box that contained
a dollar, sell il for a dollar, and th'
purchaser should find but SO cents, 4
would be obtaining money under falg'
pretenses. This silver argument is al
absolute fraud, and an absolute act o
dishonesty.
COL. NIELDS ON THE ISSUES.
Col. Benjamin Nields was the mex
speaker. He accused Mr.. Bryan Of ar
raging class against class and labo
against capital. He declared that tn
Nebraskan was in error when he SAT-
that value was the creature of law. n
said that in America the condition
wer not fixed as they were in Europe
That here the employer of to-day be

the employee of to-day became the EN-
ployer of tomorrow. He inveighe
against the declaration of tie Chicag
platform that the government had nc
a right to protect its property again'

glowing terms to the bolting Dem'
Gratis as "our allies" and predicted thi

NOTE AND STOCK INVOLVED.
MAHLON FOSTER is NOW A RE-
sPONDENT IN THE COURT or
CHANCERY.

SPONDENT IN THE COURT OF
CHANCERY.
Lilburn Chandler and John Biggs,
representing James r. White, have
filed in the Court of Chancery a bill
asking Chancellor Nicholson TO issue a
restraining order and a rule TO show
cause why a permanent injunction
should not be issued against MahlOn
b. Foster and the Foster Carriage
Company and Charles II. Sasse, re-
straining them from transferring six
ty-seven shares OF cemetery stock and
n promissory note for $3.50 made by
James Il. White. The bill was made
rcturnable next Wednesday.
The story connected with the trouble
is said TO be that William +. Smalley,
Jr.. got the note and stock for the pur-
pose of raising money for the ceme-
terry company. and that he handed
them to Foster with instructions 10
have the note discounted in Philadel-
phia. It is said that Fostertook thenote
TO a man named James Nassau. After
wards NJ. Smalley made a demand on
Foster for the note and stock or the
proceeds of the negotiation. Foster, it
is said, claimed that Nassau had re-
tained the note for a claim which he
had against Foster Afterwards he
refused to deliver up the note because
he claimed that Smalley had bought
two carriages from him and owed him
money besides. Foster knew for what
purposes the note was given, and yet
It was put I'm the hands of N. II. Ward
and William S. Hilles for collection.
The note was presented at bank, with
out the stock, and on advice of COun-
sci. White refused 10 pay It. White
now claims that Foster had knowledge
OF the purposes for which the note and
stock were given, and alleges that it IL
an attempt to cheat and defraud him ol
the $3.50 and the stock.
Mr.. Smalley's side of the trouble Is
that he does not owe Foster anything
On the contrary, Foster owes him va
rious sums Of money. That this note
was handed to Mr. Foster TO negotiate
and that entering into the transaction
we're also debts TO Mr.. Smalley from
Foster. amounting to $3.50. That II
this connection certain carriages
which. as yet, are in a partly unfinish
ed state, were handed to Mr. Smalley
and Mr.. Foster has been told both b.
Mr.. Smalley and Mr. White that what
ever money he may have at stake II
the transaction shall be paid to him
but that neither Mr. Smalley nor MI
White proposes that Mr.. Foster shal
collect $3.50 from either OF them, wher
Mr.. Foster has a sum several hundre'
dollars less at stake.
Mr.. Smalley and Mr. White are prac
tically one side of the controversy ant
Mr.. Foster the other side.
