A man who takes unto himself the
credit due to others is less to be trusted
and more to be despised than he who
steals sheep. For the latter the law pro-
vides remedy-for the former there is no
remedy save social ostracism. A news
paper which reprints items from anot her
paper without credit, is guilty OF the
first offense. News once published be-
comes public property-legitimste spoil
for the exchange editor, though from
common courtesy credit is often given
but editorial utterances, items of COM
ment, or items OF special interest other
wise than as news, should always be cred
tied. This is the rule which THE AMERI-
CAN tries to observe; we have a right to
expect that brother editors will show US
equal consideration.

No one now doubts that the brighter

and it is the common remark that
never before has business shown so
great change for the better within
single week. To the change of con-

week, there has already answered a
large increase in the working force
and in the volume of trade Dis
patches telling of about 500 establish
ments which have opened or have
materially enlarged their force,
though they fill many columns, give
only part of the fact, for throughout
the country the gain has been sur

is not mere speculation or hope which
lights the fires or starts the wheels,

greatly reduced, would employ the

A BABY'S RED STOCKING.
Excellent Farce Comedy Now nt
Davis Theatcr.

One of the most amusing Of the
many good farce comedies that have
been seen at Davis theater is "A
Baby's Red Stocking" which opened Il
three days engagement there last
night. Leading the company is Miss
Alice Hanson. very clever young SOU
brette. whose dancing and singing is
the most marked feature Of the enter
tainment. There are other features.
though, as excellent as they are numer-
Gus and all in all it is very creditablc
performance.
The farce is built around the finding
of fortune in bays red stocking
and the play itself without the Incl
dentals introduced by the fourteen ar
fists in the company would be sufii-
ciently entertaining for most cul-
tured audience.
The matinee performance had to be
cut yesterday owning to the dismissal
during the morning of one of the lady
members of the troupe. Miss Mabel
Darville. Miss Airline Athens assumed
the role in the evening and acquitted
herself very creditably.

Mrs. Brundage, Dropped Hers on
I.ackawanna AyenuC,

Mrs. Brundage, wife of f. D. Brund-
age. Wilkes Barre agent of the Nation
al Express company, was in Scranton
yesterday morning aud she left for
home on the 9.3S q. m. Delaware and
Hudson train. After the train started
away she found her pockethook miss
ing, and when she got home her hus-
band sent note to officer Z. f. Spell
man about the matter.
She was sure that the pocketbooll
dropped out of her hand as she was
getting off the street car in front of
the station on Lackawanna avenue.
Officer Spellman inquired among the
cab drivers and was told that a man
driving by with Il one-horse rickety
wagon had been seen to stop and get
down and pick up a pocketbook lying
on the street. They laughed at him
and thought he was the victim of an
April fool joke. Mr. Brundage's card
was in the purse. 1t contained sub
stantial sum of money.
