School for Boys.
Editor HERALD:

| am told that many of the people of
Columbia, in order to give their sons a
preparatory training requisite to enter
ing college, have to send them off to
schools in neighboring towns. If the
above be t ne, 1t shows that Columbia
is rather Indifferent and remiss in guard
ing the education of her boys us a whole,
and that her mel hborlng and contempt
rary towns, although far inferior in
wealth and trade, are much more
vigilant in that respect. 1t seems
strange that the people of a wealthy and
prosperous city would be conte al ted in.
entrusting the education of their sons
away from home, thus deprivlng them
of the tender influence of horne at u
period of life when such an influence is
so necessary. And it is stranger still
that the same people would permit the
boys of the more humble walks of life
who are not able to go off TO school, to
make the best they can of their situation,
when by proper advantage some flower
among them might bloom that would be
star among men. Ibis apparent neg
lect cannot be put at the door of any in
dividual; it belongs to the whole city,
cooperation can apply the proper rem
edy.
Educators are usually not such chill
| dren of fortune as to be able to plank
down the hard cash to own and operate
the school Leeded. Nor is it likely that
any rich philanthropist will be found,
that will donate the city fine school
plant. Such expectations are fine to
cont mplate, but not sufficiently safe to
meet all imperative and absolute need
| as the maxim goes; 1.-THE Lord helps
those who help themselves" SO the citi.
zens must take first the initiatory
steps before they can entertain any
ideas of help from outsiders.
For Columbia to have male school
that will be credit to her, and
as monument of her citizens love for
learning, [ would suggest that her citi-
zens form themselves into joint stock
company and subscribe the funds
necessary t. build it. Let them have
one built, too, that will be great from its
beginning. The kind Of building needed
should be of modern architecture and
fixtures, with a large campus for atheletic
sports and gymnasium attached. A
corps of competent teachers in such a
school outfit would stop not only the
exit of your sons going off to be edu-
Gated, but would even draw thither the
sons of those who live at distance and
would have great influence on bust
ness men looking for place to locate.
Why not turn the scale of education
in favor of Columbia? There is bust
ness in it. A school for one hundred
boarders would contribute annually tC
the city directly and indirectly about
$40, 600 for the output of 900 to builo
the plant. | believe that would be a
fair Investment for the city, and in ad
dition to that, it offers superior educa-
tional advantages to the home boys
which is beyond valuation. So let the
enterprise come, and let I Columbia be the
Mecca of learning henceforth for oul
young men as she was formerly fol
young ladies. k. Il.

STORY OF A ST. AVE.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George Williams, of
Manchester, Mich, tells how such a slave
was made free. He says: "My wife has
been SO helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone. After
using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she
is wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work" This supreme remedy
for female diseases quickly cures ner-
vousness, sIeeplessness, melancholy,
headache, fainting and dizzy spells.

SMART WAS ARRESTED.
Falsely Represented nimself to Be
an Agent of Golfers Weekly.

An important arrest was made Tues
day night when City Detective job 1
Moir went to Wilkes Barre, and re-
turned bringing along II. F. Smart,
who falsely represented himself as an
agent for Golfers Weekly.
Smart was accused of obtaining
money under false pretences and on
that charge was yesterday given a
hearing before Alderman w. $. Mil
lar, who committed him to the coun-
ty Jail. He is a man 3S years old. and
native of the Pacific coast, being
born in San Francisco. He came to
this city from New York state, where
he succeeded in swindling a large num-
ber Of people. He then came to Scran-
ton and here managed to dupe about
thirty persons.
His modus operandi is as follows:
Armed with a sample copy of Golfers
Weekly. a magazine which has a large
circulation in these partsand printed
certificate representing him to he an
agent Of the paper, he would enter the
various office buildings, banks and
places of a like nature and there soli-
cit subscriptions. There is offered as
premium with Golfers Weekly by
the legitimate agents. three volumes
Of Rudyard kipling's works. Smart
magnanimously went this eleven books
better and offered a complete set Of
fourteen volumes Of Kipling's works.
He would. however, always first get
cash payment of one dollar in ad-
vance. promising to deliver the books
later. On information given by Mr.
Bloomer. the local agent for Golfers
Weekly. Chief of Police Roblng swore
out a warrant for Smart's arrest and,
hearing that he was in Wilkes Barre
al the same game. Detective Moir last
night went down there.
Chief Of Police Kline, of Wilkes
Barre, arrested Smart and he was then
brought to this city. where. after pass

to the contract price.
When Van Luven presented his order,
Holmes had just finished figuring up
his building account and discovered
that the orders already cashed and the
unpaid bills for material would amount
10 more than the contract price. Hence
he refused to pay Van Luver. and
hence the suit. Van Luven secured
judgment and Holmes opposed on the
ground that the agreement did not con-

ANOTHER INSURANCE CASE.
+. F.. McGovern. for the appellant.
and Fl. A. Fuller, for the appellee,
argued the case Of James Wallace, ad-
ministrator, against the METROPOLITAN
Life Insurance company. The insured
party died year after the policy was
issued and the company refused pay
ment. The plaintiff alleged that the
general agent of the company, orally,
waived proofs Of death. The company
partially admitted this. but contendel /
that 1t had received proof Of death
which 1t wanted to submit at the trial.
but which the plaintiff had ruled out.
1t Is alleged by the company that the
insured party was not in good health
when the policy was taken out.

was called for hearing just previous
to adjournment. Peter Sutton, one OF
the executors. paid $1,000 for the lease
of farm which the decedent owned.
If the conditions attached to the pay
ments were not fulfilled, the lease could
be abrogated. When it came to a set
tlement of the estate. a clause was
found interlined in the lease reading,
land in case the lessee is compelled to
vacate the premises he shall be reim-
bursed for any improvements he has
or NAV make on the farm"
In suit in the Orphans court, SUIT
ton succeeded in establishing a claim
Of s3,l6S75 for improvements and nine
teen years interest. amounting to So

overthrow this Judgment on the ground
that the unexplained interlineation is
fraudulent, and that. at all events, the
contingency on which the claim Is
based, the lessee beirg compelled to
vacatc the farm, has not eventuated
The heirs would prefer to have him
keep the farm. it is said.
