Lackawanna townships nanuSone
new high school at Old Forge was
formally opened yesterday afternoon.
The attendant exercises were both
highly appropriate and interesting.
Nearly all the directors and teachers
of the district and big representation
of the tax payers were present, and
the occasion was signally honored by
the presence of DR.. Stewart, deputy
state superintendent of public instruc-
tion.
The programme opened with a vocal
selection by the j. +. Watkins quar-
tette, of Taylor. Then Rev. L. l.. San
tee, of the Old Forge Methodist Epis-
copal church, offered prayer. The cer-
emony of formally delivering and ac-
cepting the keys was assigned to p.
Rudrauff, one of the architects, and
Samuel Baker, president of the school
board, the inability of either to be pres
ent caused the omission of this num-
ber.
The supervising principal of the dis
trict and principal of the high school,
Hon. Frank r. Coyne, gave, as the
address he was assigned to make, a
very interesting sketch of the history
of the school district from its incep-
| tion to the present time, and also a
| brief resume of the history of the high
| school.
OTHER ADDRESSES.
There were addresses also by DR..
Stewart, county superintendent. ]. c.
| Taylor, Rev. w. G.. Frink, Rev. T. NJ.
Furey and William Repp president of
the County Directors association, and
ex-president of the local board.
| Among the other numbers were Sc
lections by an instrumental quartette
consisting of John, May and Margaret
| Cosgrove and May Fletcher; recitations
by Misses May Broadhead and Ger
trude Simmons and a vocal solo by
George Powell his wife accompanying
on the piano.
The new school building Is located
on Main street, in Old Forge, and Is
very pretentious frame structure
1t contains ten school rooms and ar
auditorium, is built after an extreme.
ly attractive design, and is filled with
all modern improvements, includine
the Smead-Wills system of heating and
ventilating. 1t has been In course Of
construction for just a year, and as Il
stands represents a cost of $4,000
Rudrauff & Davey were the architect.
and Ziba Van Loon the builder.
AS yet there is but little demand foI
a high school grade, but 1t is expected
that in time the faculty Of the schoo
will be called upon to devote much O.
it's attention to the higher studies
Those of the pupils who are fitted t.
take up such studies, however, ar,
provided for even now and in fac
have been for several years past.
FACILITIES TO BE INCREASED.
The facilities, however, will be in
creased and after Monday next, whei
the school term begins, a pupil neec
not go outside of the district to Sc
cure the training preliminary to a col
lege course.
The faculty of the school is: Hon
Frank R. Coyne, principal; Miss Mar,
Quinn, principal of grammar grade
Miss Kate Clarke. principal of the in
termediate department.: Miss Mar,
Connolly, principal of the primary de
partment, and Misses Gertrude Sim
mons, Bertha Reese and Maggie Cos
grove, assistants.

such mantraps as these tracks are from
a public street?) Notwithstanding the
one benefit just mentioned Of that stone
monument OF idiocy, I ask of those who
have authority to do so to remove that
unsightly obstruction and make the
corner round the same as the new
curbs now being put in on Mulberry
street"
Robert Fitzsimmons, the champion
of champion pugillsts, is a Welshman.
1t has been long claimed by Welshmen
hereabouts that the Australian Kan
garoo sprang from the Land of Song
but there was something always lack
ing. Fitzsimmons had never been
known to say so. 1t was very proper,
indeed, that he should wait till he got
to Scranton before he did it and then
tell 1t to a Welshman as he did.
When the famous fighter was in the
city, Thursday, Aug. 26, he dined, after
the ball game, with number of per-
sons, two of whom are Welshmen. Dur
ing the conversation Fitzsimmons was
asked:
rs 1t true that you are a Welsh
man?"
Yes, 1 was born in Wales" he re-
piled. MY mothers name was Jones.
When I was eight years of age we left
Wye. in Wales, and went to Australia,
mother in the meanwhile having mar
| ried a Mr.. Simmonds.
when 1 came to America the Pa
cfic coast people tackled Fitz to my
name and otherwise changed it. How
ever that may be, l was born in Wye
and am certainly Welshman."
Wye is named after the famed river
of the same name, which is known as
| the rhine Of Wales"

He FLIES A BIG KITE.
1t Carries String Almost as Heav,
as an Ordinary Clothes Line.

James Leitch, the well-known colored
waiter at Hanley's dining room, has
constructed an immense kite after the
pattern of the Blue Hill box kite and is
flying it on breezy days from the hill
back of No. 35 school.
The kite is twelve feet long, eight
feet wide, and four feet deep, and car
ries a string nearly as heavy as ordi-
nary clothes-line. Hundreds of people
are attracted to the hill every day that
the kite is up.
The kite is the same as used by the
government at experiment stations. 1t
consists Of a light and slender frame
work of the dimensions mentioned, with
a two-foot band of cloth at the top and
bottom. The air passing through the
openings in the box keep it afloat.
When there is strong wind it is nec-
essary to snub the string to a post or
tree to keep it from getting away.

A GENTLE REMINDER

Of the value of an advertisement in
The Tribune's cent-a-word column
can be verified by a fair trial
Empty houses are quickly supplied
with tenements; persons wanting
boarding houses and rooms do not
waste their money in making
known their needs, In fact, if you
want to sell anything quickly, a
customer can be had if the article
is saleable.
One cent a word,

WORK ON THE BIKE PATH.
The Surveyors Are Beyond Lake Ariel
in Their Work.

The work on the projected bicycle
path from Scranton to Hawley is pro-
crossing. The surveyors, under Ed
ward Smith, of the firm of Bartl &
Smith, have extended their work to a
point two and one-half miles beyond
Ariel.
The surveyors say that all along the
line great enthusiasm has been stirred
up among all classes but the farmers.
These look upon the road as a nuis-
ance. The citizens of Ariel want a five
mile branch path run to Hoadleys.

VIADUCT ON THE SPUR.

Another viaduct on the spur running
to the Jermyn collieries is to be six
hundred feet long. 1t will be fifty feet
above the channel of the LackaWanna
river This viaduct will also span the
tracks of the Delaware and Hudson
and Bloomsbury railroads. No work
has been done on it yet. Otherwise the
spur is completed.
At the junction of this road with the
main line, about half mile north Of
Moosic, is the stone round-house for
the road, which is capable of housing
eight engines Alongside of it are the
coal pockets and water tank for sup
plying the engines. The road complete
will cost about 100000 and will take
coal from several collieries at Green
wood, the present terminus of the
road, and the product of the two Jer-
myn collieries at Old Forge. It Is not
improbable that the road win be ex-
tended to Winton, which Is the teI'nni-
nus mentioned in the company's char
ter.
The New York, Susquehanna and
Western takes the coal from several
collieries in the vicinity of Winton and
II is only reasonable to suppose that
when the construction of the connect
ing road was decided upon 1t was the
intention to reach all the collieries.
Whether the road will pass through
| Scranton and make bid for passen-
| ger traffic, or swing around 1t on the
east or west mountain and be used only
| for carving coal remains TO be seen.
Captain John Shields. the president
| of the company that is constructing
the road, is well-known in this city.
His home is at Pennington, N. j., and
| he has been engaged in railroad con-
struction work for years. In the early
days of the war he raised a company
of soldiers in Carbon county and went
| to the front as its captain. He was
shot through the leg, near the thigh,
| early In the war and in the battle of
Gettysburg had his windpipe punctured
| by a ball which ii was supposed had
ended his career Such was not the
case, however. An operation was per-
| formed upon him and he recovered. He
still carries the ball about in his body
as a souvenir Of the battle. 1t is To-
| Gated somewhere in the region of the
shoulders. The medical records of the
war do not show another case where
a man wounded as Captain Shields was
! recovered
The work on the connecting road was
! done under the immediate SUPERVISION
