The Girl
of the Class of '99

Not the least part of our early sum-
mer attentions is directed toward the
interest of the GRADUATING GIRL.
We have followed this bent for so
many years that it has become spec
lalty with us; yes, and a perfected
specially. We have first studied the
fashions that pertain to these wants.
During the past few years our Paris
connections have aided us by suggcs-
tions and models for correct wear, and
today this store stands alone in North
eastern Pennsylvania as the greatest
repository of feminine wants for
CLASS DAYS and COMMENCE
MENTS.
Not behind any former year In point
of assortment, goodness of materials
and supremacy of styles, is this years
gathering; from the gown with its
trimmings and ribbons to the hosiery,
gloves and fan.
All graduating girls, even those of
limited means, when arranging for
their gowns for these supreme occa-
sions. plan for an attractive ensemble.
This is a helpful store. Whether
your taste be hampered with a limited
purse or not you'll find here Just what
you'll need, and at Just the prices
which you have planned to expect.
We said this was a helpful store. As
proof. We have prepared a little bock-

A TRIBUTE TO ADMIRAL DEWEY

Written for The Tribune.
Let happiness reign en- this morning
In pleasure let time pass away.
George Dewey, our friend, we will honor,
To him best respect let us pay.
A lover of his noble country;
a man whom the world knoweth well,
Who on that fair morn at Manila
Fought the Spaniards with shot and
hot shell.
George Dewey. the brave, and the ia
nous
who stood for Old Glory, so true.
The handsome, the pretty, the beauteous,
Our colors, the red. white and blue;
Who performed his whole duty, so clever,
With no fault whatever to find.
Forget Deweys grand work? No never
But keep him forever in mind.
Long life to the intrepid sailor,
A hero of heroes, the brave,
Who feared not the foe at the harbor,
As he fought our great nation to save.
On deck, like a rock, he stood firmly
With his great American plan;
And did II so neatly, completely,
Without loss of a ship or a man.
George Dewey, esteemed as the highest.
The pride OF a nation. so dear:
The greatest, the noblest, and grandest
OF warriors, far distant and near.
We claim the best and the bravest,
Since dawned that first morning In
May,
His name should be ever the grandcst
Especially on Dewey Day.

The record Of the Supreme court in
the case of Joseph Keller, who was
convicted of killing Peter Mayer, did
not arrive as expected on Saturday,
and District Attorney Jones, in conse-
quence. had to postpone bringing Kel-
Ter before the court for re-sentence

his term Of imprisonment.

vitz. charged with receiving stolen

affairs. Sentence will be passed on
Michael next Wednesday.

who pleaded guilty to the charge of
illegally practicing medicine,was called

intention of practicing illegally. Owing
To sickness, he was unable to go before
the state board at the last meeting and
take the examination. DIR. Villone's
ability was not questioned, his offence
was in not being registered. He is a

tice until he passes the examination.

STATE OF HARD COAL TRADE.
1t Is Rather Featureless Just at This
Time.

The Engineering and Mining Journal
of Saturday said about the condition
of the hard coal trade:
THE anthracite coal trade Is rather
featureless just at present. The action
Of the sales agents at New York in
fixing list prices to date from May 1st
was followed by similar action at Chi
cago and Buffalo. The list prices are
not excessive. and there is nothing to
prevent fairly profitable year to the
mining interests but the ever present
possibility of some one company sell
ing more coal than its competitors
think proper, Things are pretty har-
monious just now, however, with a
good prospect of remaining so.

have said little during the week, their
threats regarding their new railroad
not having troubled the main line peo-
pie much The probabilities favor a

BLUE JACKETS AT TACOMA.
Fighting Bob Evans Heroes to Parade
July 4.

Tacoma has captured the best fea-
ture on the Pacific Coast for a Fourth
of July celebration. For over five
months the wide-awake hustlers of
that city have been working vigorous
ly for the greatest display ever witness
ed on the Coast, July 4 next. All the
features of the best celebrations will
be brought out, including races OF all
kinds for which cash prizes ranging
from $500 to $4,000 have been offer
ed, further particulars regarding which
will be found in the advertisement
sent out by the committee and printed
In another column.
In addition to securing the State
Militia and other state organizations
the Tacoma Fourth of July Committee
has secured the famous fighters from
Bob Evans far-famed battleship, the
"Iowa." The sailors will appear in
the parade and give exhibition drills
in marching and maneouvering.
In view of the great Importance
and widespread interest in the Taco
ma celebration this year half rates
have been secured on the Northern
Pacific and other lines and special ex-
curslons will be run to Tacoma from
all parts of the Northwest by both rail
and steamer.
For several years the people of Ia
coma have been planning splendid
Fourth of July celebration, one that
would over shadow anything hereto-
fore attempted on the Pacific Coast
and the results for this years work
will more than meet every expecta-
tion.
Ample arrangements have been
made to entertain all who visit Tacoma
on the Fourth and the fireworks
manufacturers say Tacoma has pur-
chased a greater variety and quantity
of fireworks than any other city on
the Coast.
There is going to be hot time in
Tacoma July 4.

Prefers No Treaty to Free Lumber.

Arguments against the proposed re-
duction or abolition of the duty on
lumber, demanded Of America by the
Canadian members of the joint high
commission, are contained III brief
on the lumber industry, prepared by
E. Games, manager of the Port Gam
BILE, one of the most prominent lun1-
bermen in the Northwest, who yester-
day handed it to Senator Fairbanks,
chairman of the American commls-
sion, says the P.-I.
The statement of the case, from the
point OF view of the lumbermen, was
made by Mr.. Ames in this manner, to
enable Senator Fairbanks to combat
the arguments OF the Canadians and
American capitalists who are interest
ed in Canadian stumpage and lumber
interests, and who want the duty re-
moved. The subject IS treated in an
exhaustive manner, and lumDermen
who are familiar with its contents say
it will be an effective weapon in the
hands of the American members OF
the join high commission.
No class of people are more interest
ed in the visit of Senator Fairbanks {,
who is now on the Sound, than the
Washington lumbermen. A number
of them met him yesterday morning
for the purpose of making representa-
tions against the propose reduction in
the duty on lumber. The matter is
considered to be Of vital Importance to
the state Of Washington, and Mr..
Ames' review of the case and his
strong arguments against any reduc-
ton are believed to be most timely.

Out in the Eleventh.

New YoRK, June 9.-Bob Fitzsim-

Jeffries in the arena of the Coney Is
land Sporting club. Fitz was knocked
out in the eleventh round, and was
practically whipped IN the seventh.
The odds were greatly IN favor of Fitz,
as clean break had been agreed upon.
In the tenth round Fitz began to show
the effects of Jeffries' terrific blows,
and was slightly groggy. From this
point on il was all day with Fitz. In
the tenth round Jeffries knocked Fitz
down twice, and he was almost count
ed out, but be managed to pull him
self together and get up IN time. The
eleventh round was begun with Fitz
very groggy, but aggressive. The men
clinched, but broke away. Jeffries
iabbed Fltz with bis right and left in
the jaw, and repeated the punishment
with such effect that Fitz went down
and failed to come up as time was
called. When be recovered he walked
over 10 Jefffies and shook hands With

Makes the food more delicious and wholesome
! Combating the Codlihg Moth.

In our experiments banding COM
menced in July, and were examined
every five days. In examining the
greatest numbers were found on Aug
ust 25-7S worms-and on August 81,
76 worms. This test was made on 40
trees. Inasmuch as it has been found
that the larvae live four weeks in the
apple before seeking hiding place,
it is evident that the worms found in
such numbers on August 25 and Aug
ust 81 were hatched from July 25 to
July 81, consequently the trees should
have received a good spraying from
June l5 to July 25. In my research
of the history and habits of the Goblin
moth, and habits of the Goblin moth,
and from all authority can find on
the subject in regard to the rapidity
with which they multiply, / am satisfi-
ed that we must work as hard, in fact
a great deal harder, to keep down the
Goblin moth than we have to do to
keep down the San Jose scale.
We must combine and all who have
trees infested with Goblin moth must
go to work and try to kill as many Of
them and their Larvae as possible. If
we do this we may reasonably expect
to have from IS to 80 per cent of sound
fruit, and until we can find something
better, ] would recommend as follows: !:
First-Scrape the loose bark of the
body of the tree and the main limbs
1t is better to do this before spray
ing for the San Jose scale, Second
Place band from four to six inches
wide (double) around the tree about
one foot from the ground and another
about two feet above it. These bands
can be put on by nails or cord, being
careful to draw the upper edge tight
| tslOuuu bilG CItc. CAtttllluC sO1lC
bands every FIVE or seven days and kill
all the larvae found in them. Fourth
I'm spraying for Goblin moth, use a
very fne spray, spray like a fog, so
it will settle on the fruit. A course,
strong spray striking the smooth skin
of the apple glances off and does very
little good. Fifth-Always aim to
cover the apple with the spray, being
careful to strike the blossom end.
Sixth-Commence spraying about the
25th of May, or as soon after as pos
sible and be sure to give good spray
ing between July l5 and July %.
Spray at least three weeks. Seventh
Thin your apples and don't let them
hang in clusters. When the apples
touch each other the spray don't get in
but the worm does.-John r. Casey, in
