Red hats Of straw, silk or mousselino
do solo threaten to have q decided vogue
this summer. They are certainly pictur-

Of toning down the effect Of sunburn. No

Now that frills and plaitings Of tullc,

much employed for trimming bodioes and

at the shops made into collars or sold by
tho yard. There are all widths, oolors and
degrees of fullness, and great deal OF time
and trouble arc saved by the use Of this
ready made frilling Silk ruffles also, of
plain or changeable taffeta, may be OBJ
tanned by the yard for the inside of the
foot Of skirts and for tho trimming Of pet
dooats.

1900 Men, wages for one month. .slS9,369 30
(The wages quoted are above the aver
age paid)
Here you will find that II will take $l29,-
369 so to pay the men one months wages.
Now deduct the cost of the material from
the S65,OJO dollars quoted in the building
inspectors report and you Will ma you
have from 200 to $4,000 left. Compare
these figures with the above total and
you can form your own opinion as to the
state of the building trade in Scranton.
l would like to say that there are a
few contractors in the city who are doing
their best to keep up prices and do the
fair thing by their men, but they fnd TINS
impossible, as there are others who BID so
recklessly that It is impossible to compete
with them. Yet these men sometimes
make a profit, and this is done by scimp-
ing the work by not giving their men
time to do a good job. and cutting down
their wage roll to the starvation point.
They will figure remodeling a the same
rate they would new work, not making al
lowance for taking down the old, and l
can assure you this work often takes more
time than the original job. l have in my
mind a remodeling Job that was done
lately in the central part of tho city where
the lowest bid (alvd successful one) was In
the neighborhood of $500; the next low
est was 80, 200; the next S2,3OO and so on.
Now, since the completion OF the work,
eight. or ten of the best mechanics in the
city have at different times carefully es-
tmated the cost of the work complete,
anf they find that the lowest cost of ma
terial alone would amount to $3.50, and
the labor could not be done for less than
$500, making a total cost of $2,050. And
vet because in the face of this they cam
not make anything out of the job, they
discharge the men employed on 1t because
they did not make it pay. Yet the men
employed were among the best mechanics
in the city, the foreman especially (who
had to 20 with the resD being conceded
by all that know him to be about as good
as they make them.
Can any one tell me why, under these
circumstances, the men employed In the
building trade should be other than dis
satisfied? This state of affairs don't ap-
ply to carpenters alone; it affects all en-
gagged alike. At the mass meeting to be
held at Davis theater tomorrow evening
under the auspices Of Carpenters union,
No. 5G3, these matters will be thoroughly
discussed, and the carpenters most earn
estly invite all the business men of the
city to be there and hear our side Of the
question. l am sure when they leave they
will be convinced that we have great
cause for compliant.
Addresses will be delivered by p. J. Nc

Federation of Labor, and General Secre-

TWO DIVORCES ASKED.
Mrs. George W. Stanley and Mrs. Ches.
ter NJ. Butts Are the Applicants.
Grounds for the Proceedings.

If all, or even a good part, of what
his wife says is true, George w. Shan
ley, of this city and sometimes Of
Bradford, is, to say the least, very
capacious lover, cherisher and protec-
n.
Mrs. Stanley, through her attorney,
john F. Scragg, yesterday began a
suit in divorce against her husband
and one of the allegations she makes
is that he is leading a double life.
Shanley is printer and worked in
tins city until a ye' aeo when he
went away to seek work. He secured
a position in Bradford and until few
weeks ago Mrs. Stanley supposed he
was still there, though little or no
communication passed between him.
That he had left for other parts and,
further, that he was not true to the
marital vow he has made, was reveal
ed to Mrs. Stanley by a letter which
came addressed to her absent husband,
last month.
She opened it and was startled to find
tha' the writer was from the tenor Of
the letters contents the wife OF Shan
ley. 1t spoke about their home and
the furniture and how happily they
had lived together and how he had
promised to stay home after they had
started housekeeping and refrain from
his custom of going to other parts Of
the country to work and all in all was
just such a letter as a wife would write
to recreant husband.
Mrs. Stanley made inquiries inme-
diately and her discoveries bore out
what the letter indicated. Thereupon
she decided she would rid herself of
her unfaithful spouse and retained At
torney Scragg to institute proceedings
in divorce.
The papers in the suit were filed yes
terday with Prothonotary Pryor. They
show that the Shanleys were married
Jan. is, 1892, and lived together until
November, 1896. Mary Smith is given
as the name of the Bradford cores
pondent.
Myrtle Estelle Butts, through Attor-
rey r j. Bourke, yesterday began suit
in divorce against Chester NJ. Butts,
the LackaWanna avenue produce deal
er. They were married Oct. 16, 1894, at
Lehman, Luzerne county, and lived
together until May 4, 1897, when the
libellant alleges, she was forced to
leave him because of gross neglect,
unbecoming conduct and cruel and
barbarOus treatment.

never been attempted in any similar
organization In this city. Nearly 200
