Let us sell you your house furnishing

every purchase OF course If you've been
dealing with a particular store for ten or
tvcNtv ycars. and feel like paying five Of
ten dollars more per month there than
you would have if you bought of us, why,
that's your funeral-but the least your
dealer could do would be to give you a
house and lot or some little thing like
that to sort of balance things between
you. Seriously-there should be no friend
ship in business-common sense urges you
to tear away from Old fogy traditions and
buy where you can buy better-cheapcr-
where others are buying-that's here. But
that's not all We will enable you to set
your table better than you have done be-
fore. II the economy argument does not
appeal to you, the fact that we will afford
you better service certainly Will. We give
you an opportunity to choose the best
from the display of thirty of the leading
potteries II the United States. No one
manufacturer has the best of everything
manufacturers in a row, and what one
lacks the other has, and there's no such

prices you wanted to pay.

PARENTS WERE TO BLAME.
That Is the Verdict of Coroner's Jury
in Trolley Accident Case.


The coroner's jury in the case where
John Bochenskl and Paul Jermaedi
were run down and killed by q Scran-
ton Railway company car ON North
Washington avenue Tuesday night met
last evening in Coroner Longstrect's
office and returned verdict in effect
practically freeing the company from
all blame for the accident.
Attorney Clarence Balentlne was
present at the hearing as counsel for
the parents of the dead boys.
The first witness called was Mrs.
John Saunders. She said that her
home is at Sl4 Washington avenue
nearly opposite to where the accident
took place. Her story was exactly as
the facts stated in The Tribune's re-
port of the fatallty-the children were
coasting down the hill in a toy express
wagon, the front wheels suddenly turn
ed to the left and the wagon was
tumbled over by striking the stone on
the side of the rail; the two boys fell
out and lay fiat upon the track when
the car fender passed over them. She
thought the motorman was not to
blame.
A number of other witnesses were ex-
amined but their testimony did not
show any different state of facts. The
verdict set forth that: According to
the testimony given by witnesses
to the accident we find that the mo-
torman in charge of the car did all
| that was possible to prevent the acci-
dent. We believe that the parents of
the children are guilty of criminal neg
ligence in permitting children of this
age to be upon the street unattended

THIRD NATIONALS S NEW SAFE.
Ponderous Strong- Box That Burglars
Don Their Hats To-

The Third National banks new safe
has been set up in the rear part Of the
building and was yesterday visited by
many to whom the agent, J. Garceau,
took pleasure in displaying its fine
points.
1t rs what is known as a Mosler-Cor-
liss 4S-inCh planet bank safe and Is the
largest, cCGtliest and best ever brought
to this city. 1t looks like a stunted
cannon with ball stuck in It's throat
and that is just about what it really
is. The safe proper lis four feet
through and its door is a spere TWEEN
ty-fOur inches in diameter. The open
ing Is only twenty-One irches. This
sperre2l door is inserted into the in
terrier through a twenty-five inch OPEN
ing made in the top of the wall of the
safe and afterwards closed and placed
against the 21-inch opening, blocking it
so thightiy that when it Is closed a
hair will be held SO firmly between the
door and jam that it can not be with
drawn.
The wall Of the safe is eight and one
half inches thick, made of the best
gun steel and the whole weighs %, 900
pounds. 1t has all the modern ap-
pliances and is absolutely burglar
proof.

FRENCH COOKING.
Was Considered by Miss Parloa 10 Her
Talk 10 the Y. M. c. A. Hall Yes.
terday Afternoon.

Miss Parloas lecture yesterday after
noon at the Young Mems Christian AS
sociaton hall was on The Character
istics of French Cooking" There was
q good attendance of ladies and the
lecture proved one of the best of the
course. Miss Parloa said that the
French divide their cooking into three
classes: household or simple, BOur-
geoisa or middle-class and La Grand
Cuisine cookery. Baking, wasting and
brolling are hardly known in the kitch-
en- of the working people. Soup and
haricot are their most substantial dish
as and bread is in truth The Staff of
Life TO all classes and it is sold under
governmental inspection.
Bourgeois or middle-class cooking
said Miss Parloa, "is probably the best
in the world" The daily table of the
French is simple and hygionic the
home cooking is simple rather than
elaborate, but the housekeepcr takes
infinite pains with the details of the
simplest dish. Miss Parloa explained
this trait as a part of inheritance
Good cooking msans, not fancy dishes
but such a preparation of any dish
THAT it will he savory, digestable and
with the least possible waste. This
should be the definition in every ma
tionality.
Nationel dishes may vary but the
principle of good cooking remains the
Same in the four corners of the earth
Miss Parloa then spoke in detail of the
facts, making tie interesting statement
that the reason French dishes appear
so fussy and elaborate is because the
French housekceper in her effort to b,
| economical places a great variety OF
food that might be called refuse into
| the dish.
The details of Miss Paroa's lecture
| consisted Of an analyzation of sew.
eral dishes which are popular will

lecture. The ninth lecture will be OF
the subject: "The Selection and Care
| of Vegetables and Groceries" and viii

SUIT AGAINST CITY OF SCRANTON
Mrs. Mary Barrett Wants Five Thous-
and Dollars Damages,

Mrs. Mary Barrett, through Attor-
neys l.. H. Burns and Cawley & Shean,
began an action in trespass yesterday
against the city of Scranton to recover
$4,000 damages. ,"
Mrs. Barrett ov s a lot on Carbon
street, the rear p I of which abutted
on the stream WI ,.ch is now the trunk
sewer of the Fourth district. When
this sewer was constructed in 1888 Mrs.
Barrett alleges that her property was
injured because the surface water
from her own and adjoining lots, which
had prior to that time passed into
the brook, now lodge on her land.
In 1892, after a severe storm, the sew
er became choked and on account of it's
alleged faulty construction flooded her
house, greatly injured the foundation
and washed away the sidewalk. For
the damage done to her by means of
this sewer she wants compensation.

THE PEOPLE SATISFIED.
The Big Bargains Secured nt Dunn's
Fire Sale.

One of the most successful sales ever
inaugurated in Scranton is Dunn's big
fire sale, which is now on in the dining
room of the Wyoming House. Imme-
dately after Mr.. Dunn's loss was ad-
justed he had all the goods removed
from his store to the Wyoming. There
were thousands of dollars worth of
hats and furnishings that were just as
good as when they left the factory.
Despite this, Mr. Dunn cut the price on
every article in the store, it is safe to
say, at least so per cent. The people
who attended the sale recognized this,
and in consequence crowds were in at
tendance daily. 1t will, therefore, be
of interest to the public to read Mr..
Dunn's advertisement. which appears
on the sixth page of this impression. ~
