ANTITRUST MILLIONAIRE AS-
 SISTS LOCKED OUT ENGRA-


 vERS.
 The eighty-five Philadelphia watch case engravers, who were locked out are jubilant over letter received by l George E. Nicholson, president of the | Watch Case Engravers' Association of l America, from John c. Dueber. of Can j ton. Ohio, president of the largest watch case factory in the world.
 | The letter was as follows: q am in receipt of your favor of 3d. and in reply would say the fight you are waging is the same fought with the Watch Trust for over twelve years.
 T want my competitors, when I give a dollar for labor or gold, to do the same Q thing, but I cannot compete against firms whose employees work on the minute system" and like those in the combination against you, who put twen- ty pennywelghts of lead in a so-called solid gold forty pennyweight case. They wanted to drive us out of the bus mess with low prices, but failed. This senseless oppression of employees, cut ting of prices and debasng of the goods has got to stop some time, and we would like to have 1t terminate at once.
 We are glad that you have taken the stand you have, and this company will as sist you in every possible way. If you have any engravers who are in need of work let us know their names, and we will do our best to keep them employed. If they need us to assist them in get ting here please let us know.
 ''The same argument now advanced by the Trust was used against us in the fight twelve years ago, when we won single-handed and alone. Then our en- emies said: We will bust Dueber up in thirty days They felt quite sure of it, because with one stroke of the pen, the combination took away all our custom CTS. Had we not been supplied with sufficient money to send our travellers to the retail trade this factory would have been closed.
 (Signed) JOHN c. DUEBER,
 President"
 At request twenty of the local engra- VeIs will leave for Canton, Ohio. If necessary a second installment of men will go to the Buckeye state in a few days. The Dueber factory, the largest in the world, employs three thousand hands. including one hundred and twenty-five engravers. Arrange ments have been made since the lock out by MT. Dueber whereby fifty or one hundred more engravers may be put to work

 The past year has been very favor able one as far as expenditures in this account are concerned, probably more than we have any right to hope for in I the future.
 After the salaries of the city physi- clans have been taken out of the money appropriated in this account, the amount left for the care of the poor out side of institutions is extremely small; less, in fact, than In any other city of similar size in the country. ] The table entitled Application for aid amount and kind given" is respect i fully referred to as showing the work done in this account. i SPECIAL Amount appropriated .........S S,500.00 Amount expended ............. 8S1A Amount unexpenled ......., 1879 The money was all spent in perma- nent improvements and under the su- pervision of our predecessors except for the plumbing of the fourth story at the home.
 The work under this account the past year has included all of the finishing off of the fourth story as above referred to, the completion of the repairs at the cottage and building the work shop.
 In conclusion, we would state that the affairs of the department are in good condition.
 The cost of caring for the city poor is as low as Is consistent with prompt and adequate attention to their wants. Each case is carefully investigated as soon as application for aid is made and cases receiving aid regularly are looked up at stated intervals.
 There has been a constant increase in the cost of provisions and everything used at the home and farm during the past year, which accounts for the larger expenditures III llHS department. we hope soon, with a decrease in prices of materials, to effect considerable re- ductior.

SOUTH SCRANTON NOTES.
Fifth Anniversary of st. Aloysius T,
A. B. Society Fittingly Cele-
brated Last Night.

The members of st. Aloyeius Total
evening celebrated their fifth anniver-
sary at Pharmacy hall. This cromi
nent organization Is composed of some
of our best young men and the prog
ress made in the past five years is
very gratifying to the members as well
as to the citizens interested In the well
fare of the society.
When the society was organized five
years ago each member pledged him
self to the spiritual adviser of the or
ganiZation, Rev. L. j. Melley, to alb
stain from the use of intoxicants for a
term of five years, and last evening all
the charter members who were faith
full to their pladge during that time
renewed their pledge for a like term.
Rev. Melley repledged the following
members whose pledges had expired
John Ward, president Thomas A, Don
ahoe, p. Walsh, Dennis Ruane, Will
lam Burns, Frank Brady. William
Daniels, Martin Walsh, Michael Pad
den and John Moran.
A very eloquent address was then de-
livered by Rev. Melley. in which he
spoke of the evils of intemperance and
urged the members to be true to their
pledges. A smoker followed and a very
pleasant evening was spent by all. The
programme consisted of graphophone
selections, recitations and vocal num-
| bers by several of the members. Cigars
and refreshments were served.

The exclusive announcement in The
Tribune yesterday to the effect that
the postoffice department at Washing
ton had passed favorably upon Com
gresham Connell's recommendation
for a -postoffice in West Scranton
was favorably commented upon by
business men and residents In general
yesterday, and the establishment OF
the much needed branch is awaited
with interest.
The sub-station at present located
in Decker's drug store will be aban-
doned when the branch office is estab-
lished. The new quarters will be fitted
up with letter boxes and other equip
ment similar to the office which was
abandoned when the free delivery sys-
tenn was adopted
More deliveries will be possible and
the late malls can be obtained up to
p. m, whereas under present con-
ditions they are delivered the next day.
Another advantage will be found in the
outgoing mails. At present the last
collection is made at p. m. and un-
der the new conditions a night clerk
will probably be appointed to assort
tho late mail and stamp it for ship
ment.
The West side board of trade de-
serves congratulations for the good
work they did in this movement and
tho members of that body in turn are
heartily thanking Congressman Con-
neil, Postmaster Il. II. Ripple and r.
V. Powderly for the rapidity with
they induced the post office department
to act favorably in the matter.

AGEING OF THE EYE.
An Old Theory Controverted by a
Young Chicago oculist.

FROM the New YORK world.
All oculists know that, from middle
age on, the pupil of the eye grows
smaller, until in old age it is no larget
than pins head. Heretofore they
have tried to explain this by saying
that the muscles and nerves cortroll-
ing the pupils become stiff or weak,
sooner than do the other muscles or
nerves of the body.
This theory is controverted by a
young Chicago oculist, DR.. Norburne
jenkins, who criticiZes many old the
ories in regard to the eyes.
DR.. Jenkins was in New York re-
Gently, and was seen by a reporter Il
find" said he, that advancing age
only brings into action certain defects
of the eye, and these defects alone are
the causes of the small pupil, whether
in age or in youth: and the greater the
defect the earlier the pupil gets small
This is proved, because the pupil
resumes its normal size and activity
after the defects are relieved by per-
fectly fitting glasses. In brief, the
small pupil comes from eye strain and
is not present in perfect eyes AS only
about one person in a thousand has
perfect eyes, the mistake has easily
been made of thinking the small pupil
came from a natural loss of tone from
age, but perfectly fitting glasses show
that these defects have existed from
youth, and that age only reveals them
and also that when these are relieved
the pupil resumes its youthful action
1T is not age nor loss of tone of the
muscles or nerves that causes the

eyes or far r-sightedness.
'Astigma tism is an eye trouble sell
dom understood. The apple of the eye
and the curtain of the eye are covered
in front by tough, round and clear,
saucer-shaped skin. something like a
watch-crystal. This is about as wide
and thick as a silver half-dime, and
the white of the eve frames it. If il
is perfect it has a shape something
like the big end of an egg. If it is
faulty, IL is more like the side of an
egg, or a warped saucer, and blurs the
images that pass through it.
I'm about half the people the two
eyes are not alike in their defects; for
astigmatism, farsightedness or near
sightedness are apt to be worse in one
eye than in the other. one eye may
be perfect and the other not quite 50
good, or even very imperfect

to a focus behind the retina, causing

the outspread nerve, and this small.
ness of the pupil that attends the ad
vance of age is a sign that the pup
is striving to make up for shortcoming;

In a borough similar to Dunmore

entirely of volunteers, outside of the
permanent men taking care of the
horses, the relief association means
much, as a member when injured while
engaged in fighting fire will receive
the sum of IS a week until able tc
again resume his duties. The organiz-
alton has aroused considerable interest
among the fireboys and will doubtless
render them efficient aid.
