YES! WE ARE
THE IGNORANT PIE AND CAKE
MAKERS OF HONOLULU.

After Is years of experience in our
trade, we refuse to learn how to use
stale eggs and vile compounds, of
various names, so that a very liberal
quantity of ammonia, alum and salt
petre must be used to kill the horrible
aroma and taste of the bad material.
In our Ignorance we use only the
freshest Of eggs and pure leaf lard,
put up by the Western Meat Company
Of San Francisco, (after they received
our order by the Australia), and sent
by return steamer. If you are wanting
pies or cakes we are pleased to show
you the material our goods are made
from. Our pies are said to excel
SWANS, by those who have used both.
Our sweet yeast bread is something
new in this market. We have onlv
used it for two and half months and
have never had the slightest sign of
that sour taste which is so Troublesome
in this climate.

PROMINENT WEST
n SIDE MAN DIES
J. Plummer Acker Passed Away Early
Yesterday Morning.
SUFFERED FROM RHEUMATISM
Death Was Due TO Acute Rheumatic
Fever--Mr. Acker Wns Thirty-three
Years of Age and Had Been Resi-
dent of the West side All His Life.
Held n Responsible Position with
the d., l.. and w. Co.

Probably nc death for some time has
occurred in West Scranton which has
caused greater expressions of sorrow
and sympathy than that of j. Plunmer
.Acker, of 422 South Main avenue.
Though troubled for years by chronic
attacks Of rheumatism, yet no COM
plant was heard. Death was due to
acute rheumatic fever.
During the past six months Mr.. Ack-
er has had attacks of his old enemy
recurring more frequently and a month
or so ago he sought relief by trip
to the White mountains and the Maine
coast. While in the White mountains
another attack came and he Immediate
ly returned home and took to his bed
Though unknown to him he was q
stricken man and after nearly two
weeks of severe illness, he at last sue
cumbed and early yesterday morning
at the first break of dawn, he answered
the gentle summons.
In the prime OF manhood, surrounded
by loved wife end his three beautiful
children, with the same noble fortitude
which has characterized the man
throughout life he bade them adieu with
words of encouragement and advice.
thiit ago, Wnen ftyue
Park was borough, j. Plummer Acker
was born. He is the third oldest son of
the late John NJ. Acker. He attended
the city schools and Canns academy.
After his graduation he held several
minor positions in the coal department
of the Delaware, I.ackawanna and
Western company until about ten years
| ago. when he succeeded the late James
Ruthven as cashier of the coal depart
| ment This position he held up to the
| day of his sickness. No employe was
| more respected or trusted and a gap is
| left which will be difficult to fill with
a man as thoroughly versed in the in
| tricacies of this department
He was a man of domestic tastes
and belonged to no societies, but was
a faithful member of the Simpson
Methodist Episcopal church, being sec.
| retary-treasurer of the board of trus.
| tees, a position he has held during the
| last seven years. He is survived by his
| wife and three children, Ruth, Elsi,
and Harriet.

I BEFORE BREAKFAST. Z

One of the members of the Thirteenth
regiment had not been soldier very
long and was perhaps unfamiliar with
the requirements necessary in an emer-
gency. The other morning when he
was aroused from peaceful slumbers at
$50 o'clock and informed that he was
to go to Hazleton instanter he fatty
announced his intention TO do nothing
Of the sort. He had contemplated no
regimental service beyond the annual
picnic of encampment and the weekly
drill, and go to Hazleton to settle a
strike he wouldn't. When his wife had
matters explained to her she sat up in
bed and howled and also announced
that he wouldn't or rather shouldn't
not If she could prevent it. The officer
detailed to notify him explained that it
wasn't a question of what he would, or
she wouldn't, but matter of must.
Then the wife howled some more and
the husband looked distressed and ad-
vised her to get up and go call the
girls" meaning the help in his employ
er's house nearby. The girls" We're
promptly summoned and added their
contribution in the way of lamentation
to the general protest, awakening the
entire neighborhood by the vocalization
as he went marching away.
Children certainly evolve some of the
funniest theories about a very serious
matter, namely; prayer. A Scranton
boy of a religious turn of mind had
the other night as a guest a small
cousin accustomed to having his own
way About the time the children We're
supposed to be in bed a commotion was
noted from their chamber. Soon the
elder boy came down and after fldget-
ing around little remarked gravely
to the assembled family, "Well, don't
know where Ned is. He wouldn't say
his prayers and I tried to make him,
and he's somewhere, / don't know
where; he ran down here" A search
revealed Ned far back under the re-
motest corner of a bed, crying as If
his heart would break. II don't have
to say my prayers when I'm away from
home" he sobbed, "do / mamma? God
doesn't live in Scranton"
Some Scranton people are complains
ing of visitation of fleas, which like a
plague of Egypt have come up into
their houses. Many are the inquiries
concerning a method of riddance. The
remedy discovered by students at Cor
nell university may be recommended to
housewives possessing obllging hus-
bands and other masculine relatives.
The Cornell boys excused the janitor
to adorn the hens of his trousers with
freize Of sticky fly paper some inches
IN depth, and then he was told to walk
TO and fro through the infested apart
ments. The fieas jumped for his legs
after the manner of fleas and found
themselves engaged past extrication.

Railroad Near Beech Street.

A wreck, which resulted in consider
able loss of property, but no fatalities,
occurred Saturday morning on the Erie

point just north of Beech street cross
ing. An empty coal train, going south,
was approaching the crossing, when
one of the gondolas, having a broken
axle, jumped the tracks and went down
the embankment.
Three more cars followed the run
away and all were badly smashed.

UP on the tracks. effectually blocking

party were soon at the scene and the
wreckage was cleared up and the

DR.. LANSING'S FIRST SERMON.
Was Delivered in the Green Ridge
Presbyterian Church.

Rev. Isaac ]. Lansing, d. D.,
preached his first sermon as pastor of
the Green Ridge Presbyterian church
at 1890 o'clock yesterday morning. The
audience was a large one. In the eve
ming at 7.30 o'clock DIR. Lansing deliv-
cred a second stirring sermon to a
still larger congregation.
DR.. Lansing has preached here sew
eral times before. The fact that he
speaks extemporaneously adds notic-
ably to the force of his words.
DR.. Lansing is at present at the
Jermyn. To a Tribune reporter he
said that the past week has been a
very wearying one. He was most as
sidiously engaged in preparing for his
removal to Scranton, and in the pulpit
yesterday he became sensibly aware of
the effects the fatigue of the week had
on his system.

PEOPLE PREFER TO LAUGH.
That's Why They Like the Rentz-
SnntIey Novelty Company.

Everybody prefers to laugh rather
than to cry; consequently the attrac-
tions that appear before the public of
Scranton at the Davis theater that are
built upon light, wholesome lines, and
sparkling with wit humor and life, are
naturally better patronized.
In the engagement of the Rentz-Sant-
ley Novelty and Burlesque company
for the first three days of this week,
such a concoction is promised. The
dual burlesques of "A World Of Pleas
ure," and Paradise in Hades" cleo
trified by the Carnival of Vaudeville
Novelties certainly offer enough in
the way of amusement to please any
plaY-goer.
