CALENDARS FOR 1901.
The Rapid Strides Made in Artistic
Printing Shows Some Remarkably
Fine Productions.


Too early to think of calendars? It
may surprise you to know that some
enterprising concerns place their Or
ders a year and sometimes eighteen
months ahead, and it is these who
place in your hands calendars that
are treasured the year around. The
Tribune has secured exclusive control
of a line of over 1856 samples of some
of the finest calendars ever produced,
and 1t is the man who places the first
order that secures the best design, as
after an order is given that particular
sample is removed from the list and
will be given to no other concern in
Scranton. The line is made UP of
choice black and white designs on
white board; half-tone prints mounted
on gray photo card-something new
the most unique calendar of the sea-
son; forty odd lithograph designs in
four sizes, every subject new, with
new artistic design borders, embossed
and cut out--not cheap Autographs, but
the productions of Americas best ar
lists; sixty reproductions of oil and
water-color painting, in the original
colors, by the three-color process, every
subject selected especially for calendar
work. Many of the pictures are heaVi-
ly gold embossed, and all must be
seen to be appreciated The three
color process printing is done by the
Chicago Colortype company, which
name is a guarantee of the best color
printing in the world.
We shall be pleased to show these
samples and would advise an early in
spection before the best designs are
withdrawn. Further particulars are
given in an advertisement in another
column.

nue. music dealer, NJ. II. Keller, car

WHY THE FLAG WAS LOWERED
High Wind of Tuesday Morning
Alone Responsible.

Inquiry upon the part of The Trib-
une has satisfied 1t beyond the shadow
of a doubt that Thomas Williams, su-
perintendent of mines for the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western COM
pany, and Foreman ]. i. Green. OF
the Continental colliery, had nothing
whatever to do with taking down OF
the flag from above the Continental
breaker on Tuesday.
AS stated in yesterdays Tribune, the
flag was not taken down from unpat-
riotic motives. but solely to prevent
It being torn by the high wind which
prevailed on that morning. The flag
Is owned by the workmen at the col
liery and was taken down by two OF
their number without solicitation or
suggestion from any of the officials.
At the request of The Tribune Mr..
williams has made the following
statement with reference to the mat
ter:
II know nothing about the taking
down of the flag, absolutely nothing.
l was at the colliery that morning
for the reason that some of the driv-
ers had quit work because 1t was
Dewey Day. While there l had con-
versation with Foreman Green about
the affairs of the colliery, but moth
ing whatever was said concerning the
flag. With several other officials OF
the company l went from the Conti-
mental to the Hampton and when we
were close to the latter colliery I no
ticed that the flag was being taken
down. There was high wind at the
time and the flag was being snapped
about a good deal. I presumed at the
time that this was the reason ii was
being lowered. and inquiries made by
me after this absurd story was cir
culated, proved that my surmise was
correct"
Those who know Foreman Green re-
alize that he is too good a soldier and
citizen to permit of any insult to the
flag in his presence. He says:
II was born under that flag a good
many years ago and 1 have carried
a gun in it's defense. 1 would not hesi-
tate to take that gun down again il
there was any need to protect our flag
from insult. No one thought of offer
ing disrespect to it. If they had, l
would be one of the first to resent it,"

for his prayers for her help.
Mrs. Ilehart, the other woman pres
ent at the time Mrs. Newell gave birth
to the child, said that she was a mem
Der of the Christian Alliance church,
which has similar beliefs to those held
by the disciples of Dr. Dowie. She
said that she had prayed to the Lord
that Mrs. Newell be relieved and that
she believed in trusting in Him. She
said that she had told Rev. Mr.. Newell
that II he called in a physician II
would mean death to his wife and that
she believed this. People living good
lives do not need physicians, but those
who are in sin do.
COULD NOT SEE HER.
Mre. Samuel Hulse, of Throop, testi-
fed that during Mrs. Newells Illness
she had often came and asked to see
her but was always refused admission.
She undertood that no physician was
in attendance. Mrs. George Cramer,
of Throop, testified that she had seen
Mrs. Boyd q few days after Mrs. Newell
gave birth to the child,and that she was
sure no physician was in attendance.
Mrs. Leanora Rum and Miss Jennie
A. Fennell testified to having gone to
the house and asking to see the body
but being told by Mrs. Boyd that they
| could not.
AS It was midnight when the taking
of testimony was finished the jury de-
cided to adjourn until next Tuesday
evening when they will decide upon a
verdict.

belongings after her death and is an

ters in Chicago to a letter which was
evidently sent by Mrs. Newell asking
for advice. The John 5. Speichel
whose name is attached is presumably
