SEEMS A CERTAINTY.
What Scrantonians Are Doing in
Other Places.

Extended reference was made some
time ago in The Tribune Of the organ
ization Of a company by local capital
lists for the purpose of mining mineral
ore for the paint trade from a tract
at Hallstead. The following article
appeared i'm Fridays issue Of the Bing-
hamton Republican;
IAN ore used in the manufacture OF
paint has been found in paying guam
titles on p II. Barrigers farm, near
Hallstead, and it is probable that a
syndicate of Scranton capitalists will
soon begin the work OF converting this
raw material into mineral paint. The
company interested has a capital of
S1O0. 900 and is oflicered as follows:
President. George M. Hallstead; vice.
president, A. y. Walker; treasurer
Garrett Bogart: secretary, j. G.. San

PIANIST L1NDER WILL ASSIST
New Attraction Secured for the Elks'
Minstrels.

Minstrels.
The management of the Elks' min
strels are sparing no expense whatever
to present a programme replete with
costly and novel acts. The latest to be

Mr.. Linder has volunteered to come up
with a party Of Elks from Brooklyn
and he will appear in the olio of this
great show.
Mr.. Linder is remarkable pianist
and styles his act a monologue pianist
or a piano monolosuist, just as you
choose, but he may appropriately be
termed the Paderewski Of Rag time.
His playing is marked by most mar
velous execution, and his limitations Of
banjos and street pianos and his rag
time playing is sure to make an in
stantaneous hit. Mr. Linder will ap-
pear Wednesday night only, and Mr.
Al. Reeves, the banjoist and comedian,
! will appear Thursday night.
These are the cnly two foreign acts
! that have been embodied In the great
| programme of .his minstrel perform

GARD FROM wooDWoRKERs.
Public Is Asked to Favor Home
Made, Union Goods.

The local branch of the Woodwork
ers' union has issued a card to the pub
lie. asking that union-made sash doors,
blinds, mantels and other goods of their
line be given the preference. The dec
laration also calls attention to the fact
that the woodworkers consider that
outside firms, from Buffalo, Bingham
ton, and especially from Oshkosh, Wis,
are given too much patronage by home
people. This, they state, is a detriment
TO the citys good in general, and is a
severe blow to the woodworkers.
The major number Of the contracting
firms of the city have agreed to assist
the union In this matter.

Prothonotary John Copeland is one
of the quietest, most unobtrusive OFF,
cials that has ever occupied an office
in the court house and he is one OF
the most popular as well. He is the
personification of courtesy and those
who have business in the prothono-
tary's Office quickly acquire the most
profound regard for the quiet, placid
man who is never disturbed or ex-
cited and always has time to answer
questions and import information.
When Mr.. Copeland was chosen by
the voters of Lackawanna to be their
prothonotary he was not extensively
known in the county, outside of his
home at Carbondale, but by the time
his three-ycar term has expired there
will be few men in this county with
the number of wishing friends
Mr.. Copeland will have earned.
Countless opportunities present
themselves in that Office for a man
with n kind heart and courteous
disposition to win friends and Lacka-
wanna county has been fortunate for
years in having selected men to fill
that Office who were peculiarly fitted
for its requirements. Mr.. Copeland s
immediate predecessor, c. L. Pryor,
made such an army of friends while
in the office that he was practically
invincible when he aspired to the Of
flee of sheriff. His predecessor, Thomas
IL. Dale, won many golden opinions
during his term of service by his un-
| failing courtesy and disposition to
| make the burden of litigants as light
| as possible.
