HAS HAD IL FIFTEEN YEARS
Some one Lcf, an Album With Alderman
Post und Never Called for 1t.

Alderman /. l.. Post turned over
to his successor. Alderman Howe. yes
terday. an old album which he found
among his books and which he remen-
bers having received as deposit for Il
fine or something like that about fif-
teen years ego.
There is nothing in the album that
would indicate its ownership excepting
the portraits and none of these have
so far been identified. AS majority
of the portraits We're taken by Carbon
dale photographers, it Is surmised that
the album belongs to some one in that
town. One of the portraits was taken
by Van Blaicorn & Brown, who, many
years ago. took pictures in the old
PAUL. block, 217 Lackawanna avenue.

THE BEST IN The State
Thirteenth Regiment Has the Highest
General Average.
IT HAS ALSO ANOTHER HONOR
Companies A ond u Arc First and Second
Best Respectively in tho State.
Timely Discovery BY Col. Cour.
sen Of on Error in Figures.

ScrantoniaTs will be proud to know
that the Thirteenth regiment is the
premier regiment of the National Guard
of Pennsylvania. Its general average
and figure of efficiency Is 9t06. which is
the best and another congratulatory
fact Is that Company a ranks the high
est in the state and Company % second.
The formers average is 96.i9 and that
OF the latter is 9j.T.
Last September when general order
No. 30 was issued from headquarters
the ratings OF every company of the
Thirteenth, in everything except rifle
practice, We're published and the figures
showed thai the regiment had far sur
passed the other commands In the state.
In March, however, the adjutant gen.
erals report was published, 1t includ-
ed the ratings for rifle practice and tho
figures showed that the Thirteenth had
fallen behind i'm this branch of their
military training. The figures as they
appeared were not accepted as facts by
Colonel ii. A. Coursen.
FOUND A MISTAKE.
He was averse to believing that the
regiment could receive in rifle practice
such poor mark that 1t would lower
the general average and throw the reg
iment from first to second place. So
he decided to make an investigation.
After tedious search through the rec
ords he found an error in the report
of Inspector General Edward Morell. OF
Philadelphia Mr.. Morell had not cred
tied either Company a or Company q
with their just averages. 1t was Il
mathematical mistake, done inadvert-
emily, and, of course. was not intention
al The big drop In the averages IL
what made Colonel Coursen doubt the
figures and impelled him to verify them
He communicated hts discovery to
Adjutant General Stewart and waited
for an order correcting the error. Not
having received any after waiting five
weeks he went to Harrisburg Wednes-
day to inquire into the silence of the
department on such an important mat
| ter.
For an answer he was handed copy
of general order No. s, issued May 5.
Section vi of the order read as follows:
THE inspector general reports the cor
rection of an error in computing the
general average and figure of efficiency
of the Thirteenth Regiment infantry.
The figure of efficiency of Company A
should read 96. 40; and the general aver
age and figure of efficiency of Company
| q should each be 1886. These correc-
tions will make the general average
and figure Of efficiency OF the Thirteenth
regiment 9406 instead of 92.S1 as pub
| lished."
GIVES 1T FIRST PLACE.
The correction of the error. while it
throws the regiment into first place,
lowers Company ID from first to second.
! 1t was first in the state until the cor
rect average of Company y was esti-
mated and credited.
Colonel Coursen intends to address
letter Of congratulation to the boys of
