stein. The majority of the present Of

nominated.
Peter Roblng, jr, who was one of
the delegates to the recent state con-
ventiOn and who was on the firemen's
relief association committee, stated, in
making a brief report, that Scranton's
association pays Il higher benefit to
its members than any association in
The state. The local associa zion pays
81 per day, he said, where the author
of the bin donating the fund to cities
of the third class, Mr.. Clarency, in
tended that no more than IS week
should he paid.
This caused little general discuss
sion and the opiaion was generally
expressed that big accident at u
fire, iniuring, say fifteen or twenty
men, would come pretty near bank
rupting the association.
ID. j. Newman brought up the ques-
ton of the Firemen's Exempt bill,
now pending before the legislature,

A Joyous
Thanksgiving
To AH

Let us unite in giving thanks for
all things considered.
We really have much-very
much to be thankful for,
Today is our third anniversary,
we have passed through another
very successful year, and we trust
deservedly.
When the sturdy Puritan fathers
on Saturday, December 9, 1920,
first celebrated Thanksgiving. they
were devotedly grateful, Today,
nearly ESQ years later, this glad
nation will raise its voice in one
mighty unison of thankfulness.
Never in its magnificent history
has this nation had so much to be
thankful for. And this store---busier
better and brighter than ever
joins in the national spirit of
Thanksgiving

ANOTHER sPEAKEAsY CASE.
John Moran Fined $75 for Selling
Without q License.

John Moran was yesterday arrested
by Mounted Officer Joseph Bloch,
charged with keeping speakeasy at
the corner of Green Ridge street and
Nay Aug avenue. The mayor had re-
ceived numerous complaints regarding
this place, and he finally decided to
send two of his detectives out to in
vestisate.
They testified yesterday at the hear
ing that they had purchased a COM
plete assortment OF Intoxicating drinks
at the place, including whiskey, beer
and porter. Moran, who was intoXi-
Gated himself, offered no defense. and
the mayor accordingly fined him S.5
and costs, which he had not paid at q
late hour last night.

PREPARING FOR CARNIVAL.
Advance Sale of Seats Promises tc
Be Very Large.

Miss Mildred Holland. Of "The Power
Behind the Throne has kindly al
lowed the Opera-Carnival cast the
privilege of the theatre for a rehearsal
on Friday. It is a courtesy most APP
preciated and will greatly facilitate
the work Of the week.
The great demand for tickets is still
noted. The diagram will open tomor-
row morning. and 1t Is expected that
an unprecedented rush will be chron-
icled. Many people propose 10 attend
both performances, and thus the matt
nee promises also to be crowded.
The young people are devotirg every
moment to the preparation of the
opera. Mr.. and Mrs. II. II. Watkins.

MoNOLOGUIST HOWE.
Delighted a Fine Audience at st
Luke's Parish House.

A house crowded to the doors greeted
Willard d. Howe last niSht at s..
Luke's Parish hall In the munologue
"An American Citiaen," adapted by
Edward II. Elliot 1t is much of u risk
to attempt to give an entire play as a
mOnolOgue and hold an audience, but
it is to the everlasting credit of Mr..
Howe, the brilliant young man whose
native home is West Pittston, that he
performed this feat and wearied no
one. He impersonated ten characters
during the evening and incidentally
told "a charming love story in connec-
tion with unfolding of the plot.
IAN American Citizen" is IL triumph
of patriotism, love and honor and it
is no wonder that it should be hit as
staged. Mr.. Howe's delineation made
it fascinating play, full of interest anu
intense dramatic feeling. 1t is safe to
predict for him great future in the
dramatic field.
Not the least delightful part of the
programme We're the superb musical
et violinist, and by Miss Cordelia Free
man and Miss Blackman. Miss Free
man WAS never heard in better voice
anu si'o sahS tHSt ihoSt Shlulslts
"Chanson Provencale" with rare sweet
ness.
Miss Aliens wonderful violin num-
bers were encored with greatest en-
thusiasm. She gave u Chopin -Sarasate
arrangement with richness or touch
and color unsurpassed by any of the
'"k previously heard from her in
splred fingers.
!Ss Blackman Is not only am ideal
"c"ompanist, but her solo work last
night was marvelously fine. 1t is sell
dom that three artists are heard whose
talents are so uniformly well distribut-
ed. The entertainment was in every
respect great success.

Today will be generally observed
throughout the city and the various
local industries. with few exceptions,
will be closed down. The day will be
one OF rest and workmen all over
Scranton will be allowed to eat their
Thanksgiving turkey with their FAM
lilies and spend the entire period in
quiet and respite from WORK.
The majority of the big manufacture
ing establishments will give their en-
ployes day off and most of the coal
companies have granted the miners
either the entire or half day.
The Delaware and Hudson Railroad
company issued orders Monday to all
their mine superintendent to inform
the men that they will not be expected
to report for work. During the past
eight or nine years an attempt has
been made but once to induce the men
to work on Thanksgiving and the re-
suits in attendance on that fateful
Thursday caused a mental resolution
on the part of the coal department
authorities to make habit of giving
Thanksgiving holidays.
At the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western collieries the men will work
until noon and during the rest of the
day will be free. The yardmen. how
ever. will work throughout the day
and in the car shops the employees will
be busted during the morning only.
At the Dickson works the entire day
will be observed and the Scranton Nut
and Bolt works will also be closed
during the twenty four hours. Mill
hands will not report for work until
Friday and the only notable exception
TO the general rule of granting day
off will be the Lackawanna Iron AMI
Steel company. whose men will work
during the whole dan.

Wilson testified that her husband on
Monday evening at the supper table
threw table fork at her the prongs

IL. & d. tn Assist EARN ers.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad has
appointed Guy l.. Stewart assistant
industrial agent, and he is to have
charge of agricultural interests, w.
W. Wood being in charge of the de-
partment. This appointment is in
line with the policy of local develop
ment on the part of the company.
The company will ask the coopera-
tion of the farmers and gardeners in
order that the territory along the B.
4 o. may become more profitable by
union of agricultural science with the
skill Of the practical farmer. This
departure will doubtless prove of
great value to the farmer and gar

An Electric ReII.

The b. & o. are putting in an cleo
trio bell at the b. & O. crossing at
Swanton, same as that which is used
at Deer Park. Instead of having a
watchman at the crossing they will
use the bell system. The train runs
over plate about a quarter of a mile
before reaching the crossing and just
as soon as the engine strikes the plate
the bell will commence ringing and
and keep it up until the rear end of
the train passes over the crossing.
These bells will probably be put in at
Bloomington also.
