AN IMPROVED STORE.
A Few Pertinent Facts About Dunn's
Furnishing Establishment.

One of the most recent and most
marked retail store improvements in
scranton is that of Dunn's furnishing
establishment on Wyoming avenue.
This city in recent years has been
noted for the disposition of it's retail
merchants to SO conduct their stores
and so improve their service and dis
play of goods that their several bus-
nesses have become more in line with
the method, appearance and custom of
the thoroughly up-to-date stores in
such large cities as New York and
Philadelphia. Dunn's is one of these.
Within a very few weeks the store
has been thoroughly renovated and
fitted with the most approved conven-
fences peculiar to its kind of trade.
The shelvings, cabinets and show
cases, in fact the whole interior, has
been made over anew in white and
gold and stocked with the latest and
newest novelties and necessities in the
furnishing line. The service has been
arranged so that four clerks are always
available to tine many customers and
an increased force is on duty on Sat
urdays.
The store is the agency for what
has been for many years properly
known as the Knox World Renowned
Hats. This popular and standard make
of headwear is a stock in itself and
contains hats for ladies as we'll as gen.
tlemen. Youman's is another popular
line of hats sold there. NewspGp per
space does not permit a reference to
many of the attractive goods display
ed hut the store contains a fine and
complete assortment in furnishings
from exclusive lines of silk underwear
down to the most insignificant detail
of a gentlemau's toilet.
One important advantage possessed
by the establishment is that it receives
the personal and copstate attention of
Mr.. Dunn who is now in his ninth year
in the business and has no other in
terests that demand any of his time.

81 want to call your attention TO a
measure introduced in congress while
I was there concerning educational
measures in New Mexico. What do
you think! An amendment was in
troduced providing that English
should be one Of the languages taught!
Think of that! But 1t was defeated in
the hall OF congress. Thank God the
majority of the congressman who vot-
ed against that amendment were left
at home in the following election and
will remain there the rest Of their
lives"
Mr.. Linton referred to the laws pro-
viding for American flags on public
school buildings and made patriotic
references to Hawaii and Cuba toward
the close of his address. Patriot or
ders were doing much for true Ameri-
can patriotism. He urged the women
to do what they could to further pa
triotic work.
When Mr.. Linton had finished Mr..
Fellows invited the audience to meet
and shake hands with Mr.. Linton.
Nearly all did so as they passed by
the door leading from the stage to the
auditorium,

TEACHERS COMMITTEE MEETS.
Decided to ReappOint the Old Force
of Instructors,

A meeting of the teachers committee
of the board of school control was held
yesterday afternoon at which it was
decided to report for reappointment
last years force of teachers save those
who have already resigned or whose
designations are expected before the
next meeting of the board when the ap-
pointments will be made.
But one resignation has been received
thus far, that of Miss Hannah c. Carr,
of Green Ridge, who this week be-
came the wife of G. Frederick Pross,
Three other designations are expected.
1t was ANNOUNCED yesterday after the
committee meeting that appointments
to fill vacancies will not be made until
August.
About the only change proposed in
the rules is one which gives teacher
who has been graduated from the
Scranton high school and a state nor
NAL school 81 per month more salary
than the teacher who can only produce
a normal school diploma. This will of
course only apply to teachers ap-
pointed hereafter.

WAGONS WITH CLOSE BOTTOMS.
Only Such Will Be Allowed to Hau
Dirt Over CitV Streets

Dirt Over City Streets.
What constitutes a close bottom
wagon?'" was the question that Street
Commissioner Dunning addressed to
experts on municipal law at the city
hall yesterday. That kind Of wagon
is specified by y city ordinance as a
proper vehicle for hauling dirt, ashes,
etc, over city streets, but as there
seemed to be a question as to just what
a "close bottom wagon" is, Mr.. Dun
ming wanted opinions.
He came to the conclusion that a
wagon which allows dirt to dribble
along the street is not the kind
mentioned in the ordinance and with
that opinion in mind went down to the
Wyoming house where a number of
teams are employed in hauling away
dirt and refuse. These wagons usually
leave trail of lime and dirt after them
which trebles the work of Mr.. Dun
ning's street cleaners.
When the street commissioner start
ed for the Wyoming he said he would
examine all the wagons used for
hauling dirt and those that were so
poorly constructed that they could not
hold their contents he would not al
low to be used today.
The same rule would apply to all
other wagons used for similar purposes
about the city.
