PRACTICAL JOKER AGAIN.
He Sent in a False Alarm from the
Box at Adams Avenue and
Olive Street.

Somewhere on that portion Of the
city known as the Hill there dwells
a practical joker who Is possessed Of
an innate sense of humor of the keen
est quality. To his facetious heart
there Is nothing dearer than the sight
or five or six fire companies dashing
down the street in a wild and fruit
less attempt to locate Il fire at a cor
ner from which an alarm has been sent
in.
And that Is the reason why the alarm
sent in from box o5 at the corner Of
Adams avenue and Olive street yes
terday afternoon at $50 o'clock proved
false. and why the members of several
fire companies swore mot wisely, but
too we'll" why several hundred small
boys, et al. drawn to the scene bv a
.laudable desire to see a nice, big con-
flagration had to retire without their
desire being gratified and why several
policemen walked around with blood
In their eyes. making a quiet search
for the man with the Joking nature.
a week ago yesterday an alarm was
sent in from box 90, at Pine street and
Monroe avenue. The fire companies
hurried out and the chief arrived, but
no signs of fire could be found. The
glass window OF the box had been
broken. the inner door opened and the
alarm given. 1t was the third false
alarm sent in within a short period
from that particular box and for awhile
the air was blue on Monroe avenue.
Yesterdays joke was too much, how
ever. and sharp lookout will now be
kept for the humorst. If he is caught
well, he'll furnish good story for the
newspapers.

to consider a proposed plan for rails
ing money. Colonel T.. II. Ripple,
Hon. II. A. Knapp and Mr.. Z. p.
Sturges, Of the advisory board, were
present to discuss the matter.
There were many "reminiscences
many arguments and much delibera-
tion. Judge Knapp told Of the Ar
mory fair Of twenty-five years ago
when $4,000 was raised. clear Of all
expenses. He described the procedure
and gave his views as to the proba
biltty of making a success of a simi.
lar undertaking. Colonel Ripple also
told OF the methods then employed
and spoke of the Memorial fair of a
later date. whose results We're very
satisfactory.
Mr. Sturges expressed himself in IA
vor of making thorough canvass OF
the city for subscriptions and after.
wards suggestions as to the plans
necessary. 1t was voted to have the
! fair. 1t will probably be held abou,

Scranton's Industries.

Scrantonians are always pleased to
note the progressiveness Of the city in
obtaining industries that are a cred!..
and help to the city. One Of the mos.
prominent of our many industries I'd
one which the people of our progress
sive city are cordially invited to In q.
spect in all it's details is the well
known bicycle factory Of Bittenbender
avenue, occupying three floors of the
mammoth establishment.
There the Scranton bicycle, so favor
ably known by all lovers of good bicy-
cles. Is manufactured in all it's details.
This firm has endeavored by honest
methods and the employment of skilled
mechanics to make a bicycle second
to none in material. construction and
finish. To say they have succeeded
would be putting it mildly. The "Scran-
ton" through their energy has attained
foothold that would be a credit to
any maker and today the Scranton BIZ
cycle is considered by those who know
as the best than can be obtained In
cycle construction. Their 1900 une con-

and the rider also has the advantage
Of buying direct from the factory.
They are issuing very handsome

The most noticeable points in the

EXPECT TO OPEN SAFE TODAY.
Employees Of Railway Company Will
Use q Drill on It.

The safe in the Scranton Railway
company's office. WHICH was accident
ally locked last Monday and has since
successfully baffied all attempts at
opening twill probably be forced open
this morning. Electricity was used on
1t early yesterday morning and when
the work was over 1t was seen that q
hole. nearly circular In shape, about
three inches In diameter, had been
burned into the metal. penetrating all
but the last plate. Electrical means
will now be abandoned and large drill
brought into play. With this the last
plate will be gone through.
When a hole large enough to admit
a hand has been made. a wrench will
be used and 1t is thought that the nuts
and bolts. softened by the terrible heat
to which they have been subjected,
will then he easily removed. and the
safe opened.
Work will be begun this morning.
and 1t Is hoped that the safe will be
opened today.

Is it not for the editor, the lawyer or

politician. the public officer. the mayor
of city feels that he has no obliga-

do you feel that Jesus should be

Never.
1--WE meet this claim continually that
1t was blasphemous to have US do as

WHAT SHELDON CLAIMED.
This whole question" he said. in
conclusion. docs not stand or fall with
Mr.. Shedon's failure. He was wise
enough to say that there would be
found many to differ with him. He did
not claim that his scheme of newspa-
per editing would be infallibe. What
he did say was that according to my
light as / see I will endeavor to do
what think Jesus would have done
THE principle Is the same whether
man fails or not The standard Is not
lowered. When man says: II am
living exactly the life Jesus would
live,' I say he ought to be in heaven
but when he says: oh. with my sense
Of incompetence. and with all my love
and faith, I am trying from day to day
