20. hi.


win Deprive the People OF USeraI
Fabric.
The following are some OF the com
ments OF man well acquainted with
linens and the linen industry upon the
senate doctored Dingley bill:
The proposed duties on linen goods
under the amended Dinglcy bill are
heavier than ever, although ii has been
claimed that the senate had reduced
rates. These goods paid for many years
IS per cent. and yielded a steady rev.
enue TO the government. The rates now
proposed vary from so TO 100 per cent,
and the burden falls heaviest on low
and medium goods, which are chiefly
used i'm the homes of the poorer people.
cheap tablecloth now selling at re-
tail at 25 cents per yard will have to be
sold at 37H cents TO 40 cents if the
quality be kept up.
Medium linens for children's summer
blouses will be assessed 99K per cent,
and the retail price will have to go up
accordingly.
Linen forms the raw material for
many American Industries. as Innings
for clothing and other purposes where
strength and durability are required.
Such goods will be advanced 20 to 80
per cent.
1t is claimed that this advance is not
necessary for revenue, but the effect
will be that the people will in many
cases substitute something cheaper,
and thus be deprived of this useful
fabric, and the revenue will be cores

linen goods can be made here. but this
has been tried again and again, and ex-
cept in the case OF few low crashes
has been a failure, owing TO the climate
and other difficulties, but even if they
could be made here the rates arc un-
necessarily oppressive. The entire cost
OF weaving linen goods In Europe is
about ~ to 10 per cent. the selling
price of the article here, and in Amer
lea the cost should not he mt the very
outside more than double this percent
age, so that, even if republican theories
be true, protection of 80 per cent
should be ample to allow for higher
wages and extra profits for our man
ufacturcrs.
1t is possible spectators may start
mills on the strength OF these excessive
rates, sell the stock and then step out,
leaving the unfortunate laborer and
manufacturer TO face the difficulties of
the situation as best they can. The Ia
borer probably, having been brought
here from Europe (for labor is on the
free list, with unreasonable exDecta-
tons, Will be left to join the army of
disappointment and discomfort. Why
should these eXorbitantly high rates
be assessed on an article more or less in
use in every household in the land. and
the cost of living so much increased in
these days of keen competition and
small profits? Why should the plain
people be taxed To put more money i'm
the pockets of the rich? IF the wealthy
manufacturers want TO make expert
mcnts, let them do so at their own cost.
not tax the poor for that purpose.

LIFE IN THE POLAR SEAS.

IL is evident, according TO Nansen,,
that the waters of the polar seas ere fqIe
from being deserted by living creatures,
says the Journal des Debats. Whenever
the sea is open, or partially so, seals,
narwhals and birds abound, and on the
heaps Of ice near the edge Of the water
the bears are numerous. Under the
ice marine animals are not wanting.
The explorers found an abundance OF
little crustaceans, whose discovery was
the result OF an accident.
One day the cook sunk piece of meat
in a hole which he had cut In the Ice
with a view of thawing II out. This Is
method often resorted to for the pur-
pose of sparing the fuel Forty-eighA
hours afterward, while taking out the
meat, the cook was astonished to find
an immense number of little animals
that dropped upon the surface of the Ice
and commenced to jump about like
heas- Nansen, who is professor of
zoology, had no trouble in recognizing
those little crustaceans, which may DO

at the discovery, because the creatures
are good to eat, although they contain
but little nourishment.
A few months later on, when in 7s or
so degrees north latitude, in October,
that is to say, at the beginning of the
long winter night, he fished up In lit
tie net with closed meshes quantity OF
little crustaceans- This proves that fife
is by no means suspended under the
ice; on the contrary, it is very active.
In the mud of the bottom, where the
water is shallow, there are numerous

several species of crllstaceo

A FREE AND EASY JAIL.
One Prisoner Gave the JaiIer's Wife
Bicycle IessOna

-
Bicycle Lessons.
The Nantucket Jail stories which
have been current courtroom topics for
the last century have been entirely
eclipsed by recent stories concerning
the convicts of the Barnstable Jail, says
the Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror.
Mr.. Z. c. Knapp, who is supposed to be
serving five years sentence for stealing
national bank funds, was recently seen
in the streets in prison garb, giving the
wife OF the jailer, Mrs. G. II. Cash, bicy-
Gle lessons. Mrs. Cash is 80 years old
and has daughter aged IS years and
the convict is said to occupy place of.
congenial companionship in the jailer's
family. Another convict, named Lewis
Rogers, was recently allowed TO take
COW to Yarmouth and back while the>
sun was bright and invigorating for a
pleasant walk.
There is another prisoner, Portu-
guese named Joe, who is there on COM
plant Of Portuguese girl named Rosa,
and her story is that Joe promised TO
marry her while he was serving out a
previous sentence in the Jail, and that
she often met Joe outside the Jail. 10
is pitiful story, because when Joe got
out of Jail he married another girl, after
borrowing so from Rosa. And all thiR
in Barnstable town, where the Jail 10.
The stories of Nantucket's easy-going
jail pale into insignificance in company

Prices Going Tn.

Prices of sugar, lumber, tea and other
articles have already risen since du-
ties have been increased or new ones
imposed. The foreigner appears to be
somewhat backward in coming forward
to pay these tariff duties, but perhaps
he was taken by surprise by the SEN
ate's action, and will yet pay all duties
assessed against him by republicans.

NO ATTEMPT WAS
MADE TO HOLD IT UP
Decision OF Board OF Trade Committee
About Telephone Ordinance.
STATEMENT OF Mr.. SCHROEDER
Says No Attempt Was Made to Have
the Ordinance Granting II Franchise
to His Company Considered by the
Present CounCil--Wiii Have Ii In
troduced Again After Rcorgani2a-
Committees Decision.

The hold up" of the telephone ordn-
ance and the resultant Investigation by
the board of trades legislation and
taxes committee has brought out two
facts: That there was no intentional
hold-up and that the Central Tele-
phone company will probably within Il
short time have u competitor in this
city of the lightning's flash.
The committee held a second meeting
yesterday afternoon. At the meeting
Monday, Assistant superintendent E
j. Maluney made statement which
freed his company from any intimatiou
that it was interfering with the grant
ing of franchises by councils to the
new company.
Yesterdays meeting was arranged so
that the new company could make a
statement. There We're but two com
mtteemen present at theN sitting,
Chairman II. +. Paine and Fred j.
Widmayer Conrad Schroeder, who is
the president Of the new company was
present and was questioned by Chair
man Paine.
Mr.. Schroeder said that he had mo
secrets" whatever he would say could
be told to the public. There is a new
'plll''lllN Il' StllNl' anu lltN lllbNll'ltb "
give a telephone service to Scranton
which will equal that of the Central
company at a "much more reasonable
rate" This was directed by Mr.
Schroeder after a light, bante:i"g
fashion, to Mr.. Maloney, who was pres
ent at the meeting. Mr. Schroeder
went on to say that Mr.. Lansing was
not in town when the ordinance was
referred by select council to the Judi
Ciary committee, thus freeing Mr..
Lansing from any "hold up" responsi-
bility. The reason that those interest
| ed in the ordinance had allowed it TO
remain in the committee box was,
said Mr.. Schroeder, for the reason that
the present council might not pass it
| and .he work would have to be done
| over again after councils reorgani2ed.
As soon rs the new councils are in
| existence the measure will be pushed
| Secretary AthertOn, i'm Offering an e%-
| planation of A. w. Dickson's charge of
| hold up" stated that in his opinion
| the mistake was founded in report
| that Chicago telephone company was
! trying to get a foothold i'm this city
| The company, however did not have
an ordinance Introduced The com.
mittee decided to report that there was
no "hold up" of the new telephone
| company ordinance in councils.

ARE In HARD LUCK.
Baggage of the Greater New York Com
pany Attached at the Railroad
Station Last Night.

The Greater New York company,
which last night ended three days
engagement at Davis theater, met
with trouble in plenty when the six
teen members attempted to leave this
city for Binghamton at midnight. The
trouble consisted of a writ of attach
ment issued at 1l.3O o'clock from the
Office of Alderman Mllar at the in
stance of Peter Rosar, proprietor of
the Conway house Several of the
company boarded at Mr.. Rosar's hotel
and last night when a bill of $3.50 was
presented \. G.. Delamater, manager
of the troupe, that gentleman SHE'D
from it with the plea that he had no
money.
Mr. Rosar heard the jingle of silver
in Mr.. Delamater's pocket all the time
he was talking. There was an argu-
ment The Snowman offered to give
Mr.. Rosar an order for the receipts
of the first performance at Bingham
ton. Mr.. Rosar could not feel secure
so he went before Alderman NIillar
ana secured the writ of attachment on
the company trunks, which were at the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
station ready for the - 20 train for the
Parlor City.
Detective Charles Silverberg was
employed and the goods promptly
levied upon. Then there was a scene.
The whole company, blonde haired
maids and longhaired villains came
boldly into the corridor of the station.
They stayed there. one man, the mu-
sician of the company, with a depress-
ingly melancholy gaze in his soulful
eyes, asked how much was the fare to
New York. He wanted to go home.
The advance agent who, after MAX
ing things right at the next stand.
I}inghamtOn. had come back ito spend
a pleasant night with the company
was forced to stand IN the corridor and
weep. \ stOop -shouldered girl passed
through the crowd of TheSuians; they
all looked back at her. She was Lola
a dancer who shook" the company just
a few minutes before because her moth
er, who is along, could not agree with
the peerless sopranUist" of the com
pany.
The trouy infested the corridor until
early morn. Meanwhile Manager Dele
mater was arguing it out with MIR
Rusar. There seems to be an angel in
the company in the person of Samuel
Roberts, a youth who, as one of the
girls expressed it, had about 81, 5OC
when We started out but he hasn't got
it now Mr. Roberts was down in the
mouth.
The company has had a bad time of
ii of late. I'VE struck severa
"frawsts' was the explanation of the
advance agent. The smalenss of tn,
! board bill is due to the fact that only q
! portion of the company stopped at tht
| Conway house.
The number of trunks piled on the
| truck at the station was thirteen whicl
| may be one reason for the Company'S
| hard luck. Salaries are week overdue
At l,3o this morning II looked very
much as if the queens of the bur
! lesQue" would have to spend the nigh
in the waiting room of the railroad
station.

any reflections on the powers of the
Justice Of the peace of Waverly tC diff
fercntlatc between the pelt Of a wolf
ana that of an overgrown dog but they
did nos hesitate to say that they were
at least 10th to believe that ii would
be generally accepted that wolves are
to be found in this region. Commits
siuncr Giles Roberts who halls from

never heard Of a wolf being seen in
those parts although thcre might be
some roaming about in raiment other
than that which would naturally cover
q wolf.
These misgivings however could not
hold out against the Johnson's ahida-
Wit that he shot a wolf; Squire Smiths
affirmation that it was n wolf, and that
its ears had been cut from the pelt,
that the ears were cut off and burned in
his presence ard that it was unmistak-
ably the uelt of Il wolf.

working diligently to secure the pass
age OF Il good roads" bill through the
present state legislature. The bill was
introduced some time since by Senator
McQuown; it is known as the Hamil-
ton goods roads bill" and referred to
as SENATE bill, No o." This has the un-
qualified approval of the executive Of
ficers off, the Pennsylvania division,
League Of American Wheelmen, and
wheelmen throughout the state should
make every effort to assist in its pass
age by requesting the support of their
senator's and representatives.
Prompt action is desirable, as, if the
legislators find that there is a univer-
sal expression of favorable opinion, the
bill is reasonably certain of passage,
and the era of good roads throughout
the entire state Will have been started.
The fact that the national meet of
the American Wheelmen will this year
be held i'm Philadelphia is of great in
terest to cyclers in this state.

SCOTT WAS RECOGNIZED.
Instead OF One He Was Compelled to
Answer Two Charges.

William Scott is in the county jail
under bail in the sums of $500 and $500
on two charges. William Is colored
but that did not prevent him from
boarding at the house of a Mrs. Nian
Of Scranton flats, and then forgetting
to pay for his sustenance.
Mrs Wan swore out information at
the office Of Alderman Millar against
William. and he was held for court
i'm the sum of $500. When Scott came
up before Alderman Millar he was
recognized Immediately. and as a re-
suit $500 more was tackled on. 1t seems
that on Sept. g 1896, Scott was found
guilty of gambling before Alderman
Millar.
He left security" for the fine of $25,
but the security" did not materialize
and Constable Tlerney has been after
Scott ever since. Scott's home is in
Hyde Park.
