the anniversaries of the death and birth o,
George Wssbington-D Dec. l4.h. and Feb
22nd-the trend toward imperialism on the
part of his successor, now in office, in
direct contradict to the lessons taught
by the life and laid down By the farewell
address of Washington, and the necessity
of keeping the life of Washington, as a
beacon light before his countrymen. As
one of the ways of doing this, the League
offered prize of $40, for the best essay, to
be written by school child of the City of
Washington, on the lessons to be learned

Secretary Gage, or President Mckinley,
or both of them, in ordering the purchase
of bonds for the untimely release of money
in the government vaults, has provided an
opportunity for Mr.. Bryan to repeat, with
corroborative testimony, his declaration
that there is not money enough in the
country" for its ordinary purposes.
1t is no answer to say that the per
capita of money is greater than ever be-
tore, or that much of it is tied up in
floating trusts and combines, and paying
increased wage-rolls; the cold fact re-
mains, that the excuse put forward by the
Treasury Department for meddling with
the stock markets, was that there is not
money enough in circulation to keep the
markets at work. True American.

mr.. AND MRS H. A. WILLIAMS

dalton from Noted Critics
Season Tickets.

The Educational Committee of the
Mr.. and Mrs. Hannibal A Williams to
give a series of Shakespearian recit-
ais during their stay in this city. The
readings will be from Othello, The
Tempest, Winters Tale and 4 Midsum-
mer Nights Dream. The recitalists
will arrive by the Australia and the
first reading will be given in about a
week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams have gained
a high reputation in their chosen field.
They have appeared throughout the
United States and everywhere their
work has received great praise. They
have devoted years to the study of the
great bard, and consequently their in
depreciation of his works is much
more correct than is usually met with.
Professor Rolfe, Shakesperian edi-
tor and author of the Rolfe edition of
Shakespeare, says in letter to Mr..
Williams:
Your recital of Othello was 20 me
more satisfactory than any theatrical
performance of the tragedy I have ever
listened to- 1t was free from all rant
and exaggeration, while it gave full ex-
preston to the passion and pathos Of
the play
The collection of complimentary let
ters from famous and competent peo-
pie and the press notices relating to
the recitals of the two artists would
fill large volume.
Tickets are to be placed on sale i'm
mediately. The season admission will
be $1.50; single recital fifty cents. This
will be fine opportunity to listen to
a first class rendition of Shakespeare's
works.
The dark room for the Y. M. G. A:
Camera Club is about finished. 1t con-
tains twenty-five lockers we'll adapted

will be two sinks with working room
on each side. Shelves are convenient
ly arranged The entrance is through
double doors, which admit of person
going in while another is engaged in
developing. The whole affair is we'll
planned and will add much to the at
fractions of the association.
1t was decided at the last meeting of
the Board of Directors of the Y. NJ. c..
A. to put linOleum on the reading room
floor. This Will be done in a few days.
Drawings are being made for the
|second handbau tournament. This
will consist Of doubles. On account of
the success of the last series the COM
ing games will undoubtedly be provo
cative of great interest.

A Pine Old Vet"

Gen. w. I. Bennett, who goes TO the
Philippines to represent the American
National Red Cross Society there in
definitely, made many friends here
during the stay of the transport Sen
ator. The General is a veteran of the
Civil war in the United States, and as
he was in the field during the whole
time of that struggle, is quite familiar
with military life in all It's phases.
The General said yesterday that he be-
lieved every effort had been made to
provide comfort in every way for the
men at the front. SO far as he was able
to learn, the men in the Philippines
had suffered much less than those who
went through the Cuban campaign, eX-
cepting that the boys under Gen. Otis
had done more than their share OF con-
tinuous duty on the firing lines. Gen
BENEFITS work will be to direct the
operations of the American National
Red Cross in all of tn Philippines
The General is a handsome, afable
man, bound to make friends wherever
he may go.

HAWAIIAN CABLE.
Argument in Behalf Made By a
New York Paper.
New York Journal of Commerce.)

tNeW DIRK journal OF CGmmerc6.)
The Hawaiian cable has become a
matter of necessity While our rela-
lions with Hawaii were purely COM
mercial the only use of a cable was a
commercial use, and if that was not
sufficient to justify the laying of it
there was no reason why the national
revenues should be devoted to the pur-
pose. But now that Hawaii belongs to
the United States we must, for polit-
ical as we'll as commercial reasons,
maintain close communication with it,
and if the commercial uses of the cable
are not enough to pay for it, it must
depend on it's political value for the
means of its construction. The Gov
eminent maintains postal communica-
ton with Arizona and Idaho for polit-
ical as we'll as commercial reasons, and
regardless of the paucity of returns.
Where commerce has not constructed
routes that the Government can utilize
as post routes the Government creates
the means of communication. The same
principle will compel it to provide in
the near future for telegraphic COM
munication with Hawaii and the Phil
ippineS.

"LIMMIEso DISPOSED OF.

The Central Railroad of New JerscT
and Lehigh Valley railroads have sold
to a Canadian railway all their 6-ton
Jimmy" cars. A proof of this is that
shops on both roads have been instruct
ed not to repair any more Of them.
Hereafter, as soon as possible. both
roads will use only gOndolas with pat
ent couplers and air brake attach
ments. Both roads have thousands of
these small cars in use now and by dis
posing of them all at once thev will
have much trouble to supply the de-
mand at mine collieries for cars.
This move on the companies part is
compulsory, because of a national law
which provides that all railroads after
1900 must use cars, whether freight
coal or any kind, with patent couplers.
To put these couplers in "Jimmies'
would be too expensive, and the cheap
est method was by disposing Of them.

MIR. MORGAN TO RETIRE.

On the first day of April George T..
Morgan, superintendent of the Susque-
hanna Coal company at Nanticokc. will
sever his connection with the company
and retire from the duties which Re
has ably performed for the last thirty
years.
Mr.. Morgan was born in Gloucester
shire, England, in 1885, and came TO
this country in the twentieth year of
his age, first locating at Minersville. in
Schuvlkil county. where he married
his cstilnable wife, then Miss Martha
Jones. The result of this union was
ten children, two of whom are now liv-
ing. In 1859 Mr.. Morgan removed to
Scranton, where he resided for several
years. From Scranton he moved to
Wilkes Barre, where he was employed
In the drift known as the old Empire
No. /. In 1869, with Joseph Stickney
and Owen Richards, he went to Nanti-
coke where he filled the position of in
side foreman until the death of Mr..
Richards, when he was promoted to the
superintendency OF the Susquehanna
Coal Companys mining interests.

More rumors OF startling changes III
several departments of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad are
circulating. one of them states that
the section hands along the Morris and
Essex division had had their wages in-
creased from S1.10, the present rate, to
slA0. AS a matter of fact no increase
has been ordered hut such a step
Is now in prospect. The proposed raise
will not be as large as rtnnor has it,
The other rumor has it that all coal
watchers along the road have been dis
missed. Again is rumOr apparently at
fault. TO begin with there are very
few so-called coal watchers employed
and these few are thus employed to
| give them work the year round. As for
| instance, ct the Hallstcad yard. dur
ing the season of heavy snow or hard
winter several men are detailed to
watch the yard to prevent coal being
| carried away from the cars.
At this time wher much coal has to
stand in the yards. this work is ini-
| portaut. However when the open
weather comes these men return tn
whatever job they were at before being
| given this special detail.

how much the hotelkeepers Of Moosic
will be compelled to pay for their
licenses this year. w. II. Lotus, a
Moosic hotelkeeper, yesterday applied
to the court for a writ of mandamus
to compel NJ. ]. Kelly to accept 800 for
the license which has been granted to
Mr.. LOTUS by the court.
On December 2, 1898. court made a
decree Incorporating the borough Of
Moosic out Of n part of Lackawanna
township. An appeal was taken to the
Superior court on Dec 30 and on March
q the Superior court decided to allow
the appeal to act as supersedeas, all
proceedings looking to the creation Of
borough to be stayed meantime.
Mr.. Lotus went to the county treas
urer's office TO take out his license and
rendered 800, the price charged for
licenses in townships. The county
treasurer refused to accept the money
until he had ruling from the court on
the subject, as $50 is charged for a
license in boroughs.
Court granted a rule to show cause
why the mandamus should not be
issued and made it returnable Satur-
day morning at 8 o'clock.
