MAKE OLD DRESSES new.
DIAMOND DYES THE SIMPLEST AND
EASIEST WAY OF HOME DyEINu.

Their Great Superiority over Al other ways
Of Home Dyeing-A Ten Gent Package Win
Color from One to Five Pounds Of Goods.
coiors That WIN Not wash Out In Strong
Sospsuds.
Success in home dyeing depends
wholly upon the kind of dyes used.
With Diamond Dyes, If the simple di-
rections on the package are followed
carefully, and the special dyes for cot
ton are used for cotton and mixed
goods, and the wool dves used for
voolen, there is absolutely no chance
of failure.
Diamond Dyes are very simple and
easy to use, and by using a stick to
lift the goods while in the dye bath,
there is no need of soiling the hands.
For beauty. brilliancy, and festness,
no other dye stuffs, whether for home
use or for the dye-shop, equal the Dia-
mond. The latest scientific discoveries
are used in their manufacture. they are
guaranteed the strongest and fastest
of all known dyes, and their solid col
ors will not wash out in the strongest
soap-suds, nor will they fade when ex-
posed to the sunlight.
Try Diamond Dyes once, and see how
easy it is to make old and faded dress
es, waists. ribbons, coats, etc, look like
new.

BAD MEN LEAVE US.
Nine OF Them Go to Philadelphia
with the sheriff Today.


Sheriff Pryor, Warden Simpson and
a squad of deputies will leave for
Philadelphia this morning with the
prisoners sentenced to the penitentiary
at the last term of criminal court.
Frank Bixler and Harry Johnson,
alias James T. Reilly, go down for six
years and three months and three years
and three months, respectively, for
burglarizing Superintendent Garrett
Bogart's residence. Charles ]. Beard,
alias James Reilly, Leroy Karl. John
Williams and Miles Stacey, who were
implicated in the FELTON, burglary, will
also be added to Lackawanna sojourn-
ers at Warden Cassidy's place. The
first two got two years and three
months each and the latter pair got a
year and three months each.
Williams and Stacey were given one
year apiece in the county Jail, but pre-
ferred to take an extra three months
and go to the penitentiary, explaining
that they could work in the pen"
and the time consequently would not
seem so long in passing.
George Beams, who stole a watch
from the home of Mrs. Julia Ayres, of
Carbondale, where he boarded, and
who sneered at Judge Edwards when
he was being sentenced, goes down for
two years and three months. He would
have escaped with less than year in
the county Jail, it is said, if he had
only had his manners along when the
judge was addressing him.
Frank Gydon will do time for one
year and three months for inflicting
seven stab wounds on Edward Murray
of South Washington avenue.
Albert Lloyd, the young Providence
burglar, will be taken to the House of
Refuge.

CONCERT FOR THE HOME.
Indications Are That Large Au-
dience will Hear IL.

The Home for the Friendless con-
cert tomorrow night promises to be at
tended by the best audience of the sea-
son. II. p. Simpson has, as usual, been
very successful with the sale OF boxes
and loges, and so kind have been the
many friends of the institution, that a
large number of tickets have been TAX
en-. The managers have met with few
rehuffs in their efforts to make ad-
vance sales, and while many seats have
been reserved some of the best in the
house yet remain at the disposal of
patrons.
AS to Il merit of the concert itself
too much cannot be said. The manage
ment of John r. Watkins alone assures
great programme and with such as
sistance as he has secured the expecta-
tions Of hundreds of eager listeners
must certainly be fulfilled.

THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.


THE Sporting Duchess with Won
derful cast and all the scenery, costumes
and paraIhernalia, which have made this
play celebrated comes to the Lyceum this
evening, Possibly no play that has been
presented in America in many years has
appealed as directly to all classes of the
ater goers as has this famous spectacu-
lar drama. 1t tells the story of human
heart interest in dramatic way and is
interpreted by Il cast unequalled in the
annals of theatrical events In America.
Each of the six principals who play the
most important roles are names which in
themselves will be sufficient to attract the
attention OF the theater going public
All of the remainder of the 100 or more
characters are in the hands of prominent
people There are fourteen mammoth
scenes to the play, including the great
Derby race, in which a number of thor
oughbred race horses take part in the
most realistic horse race ever given on
a stage.

TOWNSHIP MAY BE MARTlALED.
Supervisors Say They Believe There
Is No Money in the Treasury.

Is No Money in the Treasurv.
p. ]. Quinn and Frank Toole, super
vsors of Lackawanna township,
through Attorney NJ. J. Donahoe, yes
terday filed an answer to the suit of
the Economy Furniture company.
They say as a defense that there is
no money in their hands with which to
pay the bill in question; and that it is
the treasurer and not they that should
be followed for it. They also say that
in their opinion the treasurer has no
funds.
This may lead to what has long been
looked for, the appointment of COM
missioner to assess the township debts
and an order from court directing the
supervisors to levy a special tax to
meet the obligations.
1t is understood that about $4,000
worth of township orders are now ahoat
and drawing six per cent. interest.
Their market price is now about sixty
cents on the dollar, they having gone
up in value recently because of the be-
lief that they will soon he made nego-

A colored man came near to meeting
his doom in Center street last night.
He would have been dead if the marks
manship of another colored man had
not been so poor. The latter was
Harry, known as Dave" Ford. The
mark for his revolver was William
Scott.
Ford is a brown skinned man, UNDER
sized and slight in stature and dresses
poorly. Scott is a big, brawny fellow,
as black as a coal and usually appears
in fairly good attire. They quarreled
over a game of cards in the pool room
of Jones & jackson at 309 Center street,
where Ford is employed as a cleaner
up" Scott said something about eat
ing Ford up and the latter arose with
an oath and left with a threat to have
Scott arrested.
Scott left the place a moment later
and walked toward Wyoming avenue.
He had gone but rod or so when
Ford stepped from doorway and
thrust u revolver in Scott's face. He
struck Ford's arm just as the trigger
fell, the bullet whstling into the air
close to Scotts head.
BLOW FELLED FORD.
A blow felled Ford to the sidewalk,
but he arose and fired again point
bank at Scott and at close range. The
aim was better this time, but the ball
! did no damage other than boring a
hole through Scots overcoat and
undercoat beneath his left arm and
! grazing his side Pedestrians inter-
/ fered and the two principals dsap-
peared.
/ Patrolmen Karius, j. d. Evans and
/ Palmer quickly appeared and after a
search found Ford hidden among some
I boxes in the cellar OF the pool room
and Scott in ii room upstairs. They
were placed under arrest and taken to
| the central police station. where they
will be given a hearing this morning.
/ The weapon surrendered by Ford to
Patrolman Karius was a cheap 7-shot
affair of 22-calibre. 1t contained three
/ loaded cartridges and four which had
/ been discharged.
SCALP WOUND.
The only blood spilled during the af-
fray was caused by the absence of a
! piece of scalp as big as a silver dollar
from Ford's head. He says it was
caused by blackjack welded by
Scott and which led to the shooting.
Scott denies using the black jack and
says the cut was caused in Ford's fall
after being struck and after he had
fired the first shot.
Jones & Jackson, proprietors of the
pool room are colored men we'll known
| in the city. Jackson is now in enga
ged as porter on the private car Of the
! International Correspondence schools
! Scott is married and lives in "kellys
Patch" on Scranton street. Ford has
been here about a wear. He is wanted
by the authorities for some misdeed in
the southern part Of the state, so Scott
told the police.
