EvoLUrIoNs IN THE PACIFIC
Secretary Long Decides to Pat squad
ron IN Western waters
Through Manuevera.

Secretary Long has decided to es-
tablish an evolutionary squadron on
the Pacific station. There has been
no such organization in that section
since the new navy was created. The
advantages of fleet which can be used
for training officers and inspecting en-
listed men have been impressed upon
the naval Authorities from observation
of the results of work of this character
in the North Atlantic station. Officers
have become familiar with the new
ships and the operations of the mass of
machinery which now constitutes the
modern warship. More important than
this feature, however, is the opportu-
nifty afforded by this system for squad
ron maneuvers.
The evolutionary fleet on the Pacific
station will be composed of the Phila-
delphia, Iowa and Marblehead, and
Rear Admiral A. V. Kautz will be in
command. That officer has been us
ing the Iowa as his flagship, but will
transfer his flag to the Philadelphia.
The Marblehead, which is en- route TO

the Iowa and Philadelphia at Magde-
lena bay, where the organization will
be completed. The programme con-
templated will include the usual maneu-
yers, with special reference to the evo-
lutions of ships of war in time of ac-
ton. The three vessels represent as
many distinct types of the new navy.
The Iowa is a battleship of II, $40 tons,
the Philadelphia is classed as an un-
armored steel vessel of 1924 tons, and
the Marblehead is one of three vessels
Of the unprotected cruiser type and is
Of 2,0s9 tons. The evolutions will be
so arranged as to bring out the va
rious qualities of the three efficient
types, and naval officers will be able
TO make comparisons as to speed, turn
ing facility and effect of gun fire un-
der different conditions. good deal
OF interest attaches to the result Of
the work by Admiral Kautzs squadron
of evolution.

Thought Her First Husband
Dead.
L. NJ. LUCHS, Mgr.

McConnelsville, Dec. 2S.-Judge
Frazier has decided against Lucetta
Johnson on the question of dover.
Mrs. Johnson was married twice. Her
first husband left her and after an alb
sence of nearly twenty years, she mar
ried Mr.. johnson. Not having heard
from her husband during his absence
she supposed him dead, or at least
that she had a right to marry after
seven years had elapsed. She brought
suit to enforce dover in her last hus-
bands estate. AS some proof was
held that her first husband was living,
she lost her case. The Court holding
her last marriage null and void as
there was no legal separation from the
first husband.

1t was announced by the Pennsylva-
MIA Coal company that No. 8 shaft at
Barnum colliery, near Pittston, will be
sunk from the Pittston vein to the red
ash vein.
1t is reported on good authority that
a vein of soft coal has been discovered
within five miles of Athens. The par
ties interested, however are keeping
the location and the results of their
investigation a secret. 1t is to be
hoped that the new mine will be more
promising than the ones which have
been periodically unearthed before
Athens News.
1t is stated that ten car inspectors on
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern railroad at Port Morris are to be
laid off, and that thirty engineers are
to be reduced to firemen, and the fire.

NOT A HOWLING SUCCESS.
Firemen's Fair Receipts Fall Far
Short of Expectations-Bazaar
Will Be Conducted.

The firemen's fair, which came to
close Saturday night, was not the sue
cess that was counted upon. The net
proceeds will not be much over s3,000
and they were confidently expected to
reach twice that figure.
The fault of this does not lie with the
firemen, their fair committee or the
general manager. but with the public
at large, which was looked to for more
liberal patronage.
1t is safe to say that eighty-five per
cent. of the money taken in at the fair
was contributed by the firemen them
selves. Some nights there were not q
half-dozen persons in attendance at the
fair outside of the firemen and the
ladies who We're assisting, yet on these
occasions it was not uncommon to take
in $3.50
EX-Chief p. ]. Hickey, chairman of
the fair committee, and. it might be
said, the wheel horse" of the fair;
Charles II. Miller. the treasurer; Joseph
w. Hall. the assistant manager, and
Joseph Danner, of the executive COM
Hlittee, did not miss a night at the
armory during the progress of the fair,
| and to them more than anybody else
should be given the credit for what
success was achieved.
General Manager McQuivey is to be
congratulated, too, on the arrange
ments for the fair, which comprised his
particular work. No more beautiful OF
more plentifully stocked booths were
ever seen at a fair in this city. There
was no ground for complaint as to this
| feature of the event, and especially as
to the manner in which the Scranton
| business men responded to the call fol
contributions of articles. 1t was tht
| failure of the people at large to attend
the fair and invest in these articles

success that was counted upon.

FROM A MANILA PAPER.
How the Situation Is Viewed on the
Spot


Through the courtesy of Mr.. +. A.
Philbn. of the Archibald Citizen. The
Tribune has received a copy of Free
DOM" a tri-weekly paper OF eight
pages, published at Manila, Philippine
islands, under date of April 20. Mr..
Philbin received the paper from the
Citizens special war correspondent
now on the fighting line, Private A. ].
O'Horo, of the First Washington vol
unteers, former Archibald boy.
Freedom" is red hot for expansion.
Concerning the "antis" in the states it
says: "Some men have souls so small
that thousands of them could roam on
the little end of nothing for forty years
and never come within telephone dis
tance of each other" Replying to
structures in the Hong Kong Daily
Press on the American policy in the
Philippines, Freedom" says:
The fact is, the United States has
treated the Filpinos with every posst-
BILE consideration. No human power
could have done more with honor. The
natives mistook this generosity for weak
ness and papers such as the Hong kong
Daily Press must find something TO criti-
else; they will crciticise the admlnlstra-
ton on the Golden Shore, and will kick
at st. Peter when he hands out the harps.
The Filipinos wanted a fight. and they
got one. That is the whole matter in
nut shell. And they can have as much
as they want, and as long as they want,
and when the battered remnant of the
Filipino nation comes to its senses, we
think it will be the foundation of great
and powerful country. Greatness comes
from adversely and chastisement, and
Uncle Sam can dish out all that may be
required.
Freedom" contains liberal repre-
sentation of advertisements, but most
of them exploit the merits of certain
brands of American beers and medi-
cines.

FORMAL REORGANIZATION.
Board of Six Meets and Elects Full
Set of Officers.

The board of six school directors met
in the board of control rooms in city
hall yesterday morning and reorgan-
ized. All members We're present, with
the exception of Fred S. Godfrey, who
is preparing to sail for Europe.
The following officers were elected.
President. ID. I. Phillips; secretary,
Eugene d. Fellows; solicitor, David
j. Davies.
The meeting was held in pursuance
of the law directing that the board
meet on the first Monday of June for
reorganization.
AS to the legality of the board Of six,
the opinion was expressed by President
Phillips that everything depends upon
the stand to be taken by the new mem
bers Of the supreme court, as the pre-
sent members OF that tribunal are
equally divided on the subject. The
position Of Judge Smith is not known,
but Judge Archibald. If elected, Mr..
Phillips thought, would be in favor of
the board of six, as in a former opinion
he decided that the board OF twenty
one was an illegal organization.
