Harvard defeated Yale on Saturday
at foot ball by the score of II to o.
This victory makes Harvard cham
pion this year, the team having met
and defeated all corners during the
whole season. Of course whether the
victory over Pennsylvania was earned
is matter of conjecture, and many
people believe the latter team to be
the better. If we are to judge the
two teams strength by the scores
made, in all their games, why then
Pennsy is by far superior. 1t will be
remembered that in the game against
the Carlisle Indians, Pennsy ran up a
tremendous big score while when
Harvard tackled the red skins, it was
anybody's game.

The April number of The Century
will have an important group of papers
devoted TO the Pennsylvania coal fields.
Henry Edward Rood, in "A Polyglot
Community" describes the coming Of
the Italians, Slovaks, and Polacks, who
have so largely taken the places of the
English-speaking miners. He also
takes up the sociological side OF the
question, and tells of the mode of life
of the foreign colliery operatives, OF
their festivals and merry-makings, and
finally considers what has been said for
and against the company store" Jay
Hambridge gives "An Artists Impress
sions of the Colliery Region" Mr..
Hambridge visited the Lattimer region
and has drawn a number of illustra-
tions for his own and Mr.. Roods ar
ticle. There are several pictures of
Lattimer and its surroundings, as well
as typical portraits of the miners and
their families, illustrating the peculiar
tiles of the different races. Mr.. Ham
bridges article describes in a graphic
way the picturesque phases of life in
the foreign quarters. Edward Atkin-
son, the noted economist, writes of
THE Advantage of England and the
United States in the Worlds Com

Thirteen horses were destroyed in
a fire which last night totally de-
stroyed the barn at the Dickson City
brewery of the Pennsylvania Central
Brewing company.
OF all that the barn contained when
the fire broke out the only thing saved
was one horse, which Manager HUFF
nagle succeeded in releasing after a
desperate effort.
The flames when discovered by the
watchman at 9.15 o'clock, had gained
such headway that there was no hope
Of stopping them.
The Eagle Hose company of Price
burg, made good time in getting to the
scene, but when they arrived the
building was completely enveloped in
flames. No effort of theirs could save
any part of it.
In an hours time there was nothing
left to mark the site of the structure
except big heap of smouldering tim
bers.
Fortunately the barn was located in
an isolated place and no other build
ings, in consequence, were endangered.
The big delivery wagons which
stood outside the barn were all sue

One horse, the nearest to the door,
was saved by Manager Huffnagle, who
was about the first to arrive. He tried
to return to save others but the heat
and smoke grew so unbearab e that he
could not get back again.
The barns dimensions were 40X40
and three stories high, two stores and
basement. In addition to the horses,
it contained a $1,000 worth Of new bar
rels. eight tons of hay and 500 bushels
of oats, besides the harnesses and
other barn paraphernalia and a lot OF
brewery appurtenances, such as pip
ing, cooperage articles and the like.
A PAGER valued at $3.50 belonging tc
Manager Huffnagle was among the
horses lost. Mr.. Huffnagle's private
! carriage and cutter were also con-
| sumed.
The loss all told amounts to over
$4,000. The building was worth So.

who frequently make the loft a lodg

VALUABLE PROPERTY FOR SALE.
Old Home for the FriendIess Has
Been Placed in the Hands of Real
Estate Dealer w. L. Hackett.

This fine property consists Of five
large lots with a frontage of 200 feet
on Adams avenue, near Pine street,
and extending back 100 feet in depth
to an alley, together with the large
roomy building thereon, constitutes, by
reason of it's central location and size
of the plot. one of the most valuable
properties in the central city. The
building is large and roomy enough to
be used for educational or charitable
purposes. 1t would make an excellent
site for an armory, as once suggested,
or better still, the crying want of the
city, a large apartment house, could
be built here that would prove not only
a great source of revenue to the owner
but a greater blessing to those of our
city who are obliged to live in rented
apartments. Here is a good chance for
some one to invest their money to ad-
vantage and at the same time aid the
Home to secure a purchaser for their
place. For terms Of sale, price, etc,

sion made Of the property and began
proceedings through Michael Corcoran,
guardian of the children, to have the

due influence was used and that Gal
laPhcr was not of sound mind at the
time the will was made. In his opin-
ion the register says;

His own success was due to a combina-
ton of energy, courage and foresight,
aided materially by great resolution and
pertinacity of purpose.
He was a director of the Pennsylvania
Oral School for the Deaf and also OF the
Lackawanna hospital.
Mr.. Smith was always a Republican and
early in his life was active in politics.
In 1865 he was elected to the Rhode Island
legislature and served one term. He was
thoroughly identified with the interests
OF Scranton, labored earnestly for it's de-
velopment and progress and had abund-
ant faith in its future; in fact, it was
faith such as his which made the Scran-
ton of today possible.

Great musicians use Kimballs. The
testimony of musicians who command
salary of from 81, 900 to $4,000 for each
performance must be accepted as hav-
ing weight. They, at least, escape the
charge of not knowing what they are
talking about. Lillian Nordica says:
THE more l use my Kimball piano the
better like it." Jean De Reszke says:
I'VE have concluded to purchase KIM
