WANTS TO NAME
HIS SUCCESSOR
Fred Warnke Urges Appointment Of Hsr.
ry Kingsley as Assistant Fire Chief.
ALBERT LEWIS ALSO A CANDIDATE
He Has n strong Following and Last
Night the Betting Was That Mayor
Bailey wouId Send His Appoints
mcnt to the Select Council Tonight.
Fight for Permanent Man Of the
Columbia Company Has Been
Compromised.

There is a lively fight on for the
position of district engineer of the Fire
department for West Scranton, which
will be made vacant by the resignation
of Frederick Warnke, who on Monday
entered upon his duties as recorder of
deeds of Lackawanna county. He can
not also fill the office of district en-
gineer. because there is a salary con-
nected with it, and his resignation as
an assistant fire chief viii be read at
tonights meeting Of select council.
1t is probable that Mayor Bailey will
name Mr.. Warnke's successor tonight.
There are two candidates for the office.
Albert Lewis and Henry Kingsley.
Both are members of the Columbia
company, Mr.. Lewis being an ex-fore-
man. Mr.. Warnke is member of the
same company and he is urging the
appointment of Mr.. Kingsley. This,
however, will not be sufficient to in
sure his selection, for Mr.. Lewis is
much respected in fire-fighting circles
and has many friends who are urging
the mayor to appoint him.
Last night the betting al the Column
bia Hose house was in favor of Mr..
Lewis appointment.
The fight for the position of addi-
tional permanent man of the Colum-
bia company has been settled and to-
night Mayor Bailey will nominate Ed
ward Pethrick for the position He is
now on duty famiiarizing himself
with the duties that will devolve upon
him.
George w. Myers, the present per-
manent man, will hereafter act as en-
gineer of the chemical engine. and Mr..
Pethrick will be driver. Louis Parry
was also a candidate for the position
OF permanent man and made a strong
bid for the position. A compromise
was arranged between his friends and
those OF Mr.. Pethrick by which Mr..
Parry is to receive the appointment as
third permanent man of the company.
To properly handle the chemical en-
gine and give good service it will be
necessary to have three permanent
men in the Columbia house. A strong
effort will be made to have councils
make provisions for third permanent
man.

of next week. After an Intellectual ef-
fort to get the city committee together

the office of Chairman George s. Horn
and made arrangements for the con-
vention.
Nine members Of the committee, less
than a quorum, We're present. They pa
tiefitly awaited until 8 O'Clock for the
two secretaries, NJ. A. Mckinley and r.
j. Beamish and enough to make n
quorum, but Mr.. Mckinley was out of

Gay, Jan. 13. and the convention on
saturday, Jan. Is. at 2 o'clock. 1t was
hoped that the court house could be
secured for the convention gathering,

count of court being in session, the
place is to be engaged by the chairman
and secretary and announced later.
The secretary will be directed to pub
lish a list Of vigilants. the list to be
according to the district returns of two
years ago. According to u rule of the
party vacancies will be filed by vote

be called together for private confer
ence in Chairman Horns office tonight
when the probable candidates for nom
ination for the school board of six will
be considered.

Squire LOTUS hotel in Moosic to make
O geographical allotment of the nomi-

ton and those who We're opposed to it
proceeded to make another allotment
as follows: Southwest district. super
visor and school director; South dis
trict, justice of the peace, constable,
town clerk and assessor; West district,
supervisor and school director; North
east district auditor.

TESS OF THE D'URBERyILLES.


Tess of the DUrbervilles," with Min
ME Madden Fiskc in the title role, had
ITS hrst scranton presentation at the
Lyceum last night. The drama is a
somewhat free dramatization of Thomas
HardyS novel of the same name, which,
during the last few years has been al
ternately praised as the acme of realism
at its best, and condemned as most
pernicious piece OF literature. Whatever
may be the opinion of critics concern
ing the novel, there is no gainsaying
that Lorimer Stoddard has most delicate-
ly adapted ii to the needs of the stage. He
has preserved the vital, dramatic Incl
uents OF the story ana presented them
with great vividness and skilfullness.
Mrs. Fiske was the living, breathing,
thoroughly human being, the brain of the
novelist gave to literature In her physi-
cal aspect she is not the Tess of Thom-
as Hardy, but in her power to realize
the complex nature and feel the woes

Ehshsn girl Mrs. t1ske is truly the

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

The bee life is longer or shorter just
in proportion to the labor it performs.
Disturbing bees during cold weather
is one of the most disastrous things that
can be done.
Every hive should have n good bot.
tom board, which should be planeG
smooth, and painted.
A locality beautifully supplied with
clover and Eastwood is a paradise for
the beekeeper and his bees.
New combs that are pure wax and
have been used for surplus honey are
not apt to be injured by worms.
The workers are dwarfed female bees
and so small that they never become
impregnated and do not lay eggs.
You need be seldom troubled with
swarming if all the queen cells are
taken out before they are sealed over.
Bees are the best friends of the grow.
ers of small fruits, because they fructi.
fy the flowers and cause the fruit to ma
ture.
Honey improves with age. The Older
1t is the finer the flavor. Comb honey
should be kept in a moderately warn
room.
Extracted honey is much easier kept
than comb honey. The latter Is liable
to get soiled and must be kept in light
cases to exclude dust and insects.
Heat does not damage honey, but
tends to ripen and improve it. Damp
ness and darkness damage it. 1t should
always be kept in a dry place.
Dysentery is produced by long con.
fnement of bees in close hives during
cold weather. It may be caused alse
by the bees eating impure food.--St
Louis Republic.
