REPORT ON THE IsTHMIAN CANAL.
The Commissioners Will Scarcely Mako it Be-
fore December

Washington, April 21.-The 1sthmiau
Canal Commissioners have concluded that,
with all possible expedition, they cannot
complete their report upon their exami-
nations of the various Isthmian routes
for canal before next December They
could, of course, make the toughest kind
of q preliminary report earlier but they
would do this only upon absolute direction
and with reluctance. The exchanges that
took place between the commissioners
and the heads of the Central American
Governments during the visits of the body
to that part fthe world did not commit
any of the Presidents to REIMBURSEMENT
of sovereignty over any of the projected
according to one of the commissioners.
But this point of sovereignty, is after all.
inconsequential at this stage. in the belief
OF the commission, the members of which
do not see that any particular benefit
is to result from as assertion of soyer-
eighty over the sail as long as the right
of the United States to protect the canal
line is conversed in the treaties. The
proposed action of the House of Repre-
sentatiyes in amending the pending Mica
raguan Canal Bill by striking cut the pro-
vision for the erections CT Notifications
along the route of the canal is regarded
as making the measure far moreaccept-
able TO the Administration, but it is still
believed to be absolutely necessary to
make the ratification of the Hay Pauncc-
fote treaty, condition precedent TO the
adoption of any canal bill.

MATRICULATES MAY JOIN.
Important Action by High School
Executive Committee.

Arrangements for the nineteenth an
nual banquet of the Scranton High
School Alumni association were gotten
under way yesterday at a meeting of
the executive committee in the office
of President John NJ. Harris, in the
Connell building. Besides Mr.. Harris,
there were present John j. Murphy,
Charles e. Daniels, Miss Josephine
Lees, Miss Lillian Simpson, Miss Julia
Pettigrew, Miss Jane Fellows and Miss
Rahel Powell.
Mr.. Murphy was appointed a COM
mittee on hall; Mr.. Daniels was dele
gated to attend to the matter Of
caterer, and Misses Pettigrew, Simp-
son, Powell and Fellows We're charged
with the task of preparing a list Of all
who are eligible to membership, with a
view of sending them circulars, tend
ing to stir up a more active interest in
the association. President Harris was
instructed to arrange with Principal
Grant for an address to this years
graduating class on the aims and
scope of the association.
The question of eligibility to men,
bership to High school pupils other
than graduates was discussed and the
sense of the meeting was that all who
have ever attended the school in any
of the four upper classes should be en-
titled to join the association, and there
being nothing in the constitution to
forbid it, the committee resolved that
announcement should be made that
matriculates as well as graduates
would be received as members.
The next meeting Will be held at the
same place next Wednesday afternoon

ANNOUNCEMENT.

Recognizing the fact that under the
operation Of the Crawford County sys-
tenn the rural districts are at a great
disadvantage in the matter Of nom
nations by the Republican party, and
feeling convinced that for the purpose
of making up a well-balanced ticket,
that will commend itself to the entire
Republican rarty and secure the un-
divided party vote at the election to
be held Nov. 9Th, l hereby withdraw
my name as a candidate for recorder
of deeds.
l am impelled to take this step very
largely by the fact that in the person
of Il. j. Matthews, of Spring Brook
township, the outlying districts have
candidate who Is eminently qualified
for the office of recorder of deeds,
and one who can be heartily support
ed by all Republicans without fear of
factional differences.
1 therefore ask all my friends to
support the candidacy of II. J..
Matthews for that office, on the triple
grounds of continuous. active and
faithful party service, great personal
fitness and aptitude for the office, and
for the reason that his geographical
location is such that his nomination
VIII round out the ticket satsfactor-
lily to that portion Of the Republican
party who always support their party
principles In fair weather and foul,
ard whose fidelity is often overlooked.

YOUNG PEOPLE BANQUET
Celebration of the Fourteenth Ami
versary of the Y. P. S. G. E. of
Second Presbyterian Church.

In the parlors of the Second Pres
byterian church last evening the four
teenth anniversary of the Young Peo-
ple's Society of Christian Endeavor
was held. The society of this church
is a model one and the gathering of
the members at this banquet was a
very happy event.
The Sabbath school orchestra under
the direction of William Stanton, who
is chairman of the music committee
of the society, gave some beautiful
numbers. The members, eighty Of
whom were present, were then seated
at the tables and after singing "Blest
BE the Tie That Binds" the bless ,ng
was asked by assistant pastor, Rev.
James Hughes. Under the direction of
Raymond Sanderson, chairman of the
social committee, a delightful menu
was served, consisting of bread, chick
en- croquets, creamed asparagus, salad,
ices and coffee.
j. M. Chance, president of the So
ciety, welcomed the members and in
troduced the toastmaster for the even
ing, William ]. Torrey. The following
toasts were proposed and responded to
in the following order: absent Men,
bers," H. w. Rowley; Junior Society"
Horace Chandler: mission Work of
Our Sister Churches in the City" Miss
Decker; "Our Watchword for the New
Year." the pastor, DR.. Robinson; 1.-THE
Boys Club" Ernest Loney; THE Girls
Club" Myrtle Thomas; "Our Session."
James H. Torrey.
Thomas Archibald, of the First
church, was present and brought greet
ings from that church. Miss Salmon
and Mr.. Ralph Williams sang solos
and Miss Clare Brewster recited. Miss
Grace Sanderson read the annual re-
port of the society.
The decorations under the direction
of Miss Decker, chairman of the flower
committee, were beautiful. After a
most delightful evening the exercises
were brought to a close with prayer
by Dr. Robinson.

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.

You'll see that you seldom or never
get something for nothing. In the long
run it pays to buy only those things
which have an established reputation
and are sold at fair price.
There are occasions, however, when
one is able to buy high grade article
at ridiculously low price, as is being
demonstrated in the remarkable bar
gains in pianos offered by the Finn
Music House. For example, a hand
some Hallet & Davis walnut upright,
best largest and most expen'ive style
at $25O.00, or a Royal upright rosewood
finish, double veneered case, hardwood
back, 1-3 octaves, three stri1ged
three pedals repeating action, full me-
tai plate at $125.00. This stock COM
prises twelve different makes: each
and every piano guaranteed by the
makers for five or some for eight years.
The motive is clear. Having adopted
a fixed policy, and settled upon a rep
resentative line it became necessary
that this stock should be closed out
to make room for the regular line of
pianos. Affording a glorious opportu-
nifty to win popularity by offering
pianos at prices utterly impracticable
if it were not intended to continue the
sale of those instruments.
Churches, lodges, societies, schools,
etc, will find this a golden opportunity
to make a capital investment in pianos.
1t is necessary to see these inst l.
ments to appreciate the disparagement
between price and value.
Payments, or cash. It's no difference
to us, Costs a little moro on nav
ments, but you have the use of piano
and money. It's worth more. Examine
and see for yourself.

ELKs PARADE TONIGHT.
Concerts by Bauer's Band-Fifty
Booths at the Fair Rented.

notwithstanding the inclemency OF
the weather, the concert by Bauer's
band on Pittston avenue last evening
was listened to by thousands of per-
sons. The Elks will parade this even
ing and Bauer will give another con-
cert opposite Elks' headquarters on
Penn avenue.
Fifty of the booths at the fair have
been rented by merchants for the ex-
hibition of their goods.
The Bostock show has been exhibit
ing this week in Richmond, Va. The
Dispatch of that city speaking of the
carnival of the Elks and Mr.. Bostock
says: The combination Bostock
shows now upon road street and con-
tiguous thoroughfares is unique. Clean
and wholesome in tone, without excep-
tion, they seem to introduce talented
people of all nations, and to afford
what may be considered quite a liberal
education.
Certain it is that much may be gath
cred from the Streets of Cairo, the
gypsy group from the Irish and Ger
man villages, affoding as they do a
clear insight into the manners and
customs of these peoples.
The menageries are complete, and
well stocked, and the animals are all
well kept and remarkably well trained.
