"Hotel men give out that they warn
each other by circulars about dead
BEATS" said the slick looking man with
the high hat, "but don't you let that
stop you if you want to live high for

fact that they have been done up. It's
the easiest thing in the world to beat a
first class hotel. All you want is good
suit of clothes and plenty Of cheek. A
grip with a few shirts and collars is as
good as a trunk.
'You drive up in style; you register to
get the best room in the house; you
bulldoze the clerks and threaten the
servants. A checkbook is q good thing
to show, but you pay for nothing. You
talk in a loud voice, you make plenty
Of kicks, and you order the best wines
for dinner. Lands, but the whole staff
Of the house will fall over each other

trary, you are indignant and demand
an apology. When the second week is
due, your drafts have not come.
"You will be worked out Of the house,
but with gentleness and apologies.
They don't want row, and they don't
want notoriety. You'll be forgiven if
you'll only go, and if you take up your
quarters for the next two weeks right
across the street no one from the hotel
will give you away. When man beats
us, we like to see him beat our neigh
Dor, you know. It's nice and genteel
work. with no kicks or hard times, and
there is always room for one more in
the profession.''-De Journal.

the conductor was forward collecting

are not allowed in these cars"
"I am going to Fifty-seventh street.
Here is my fare" was the answer.
II cannot take it, madam. 1t Is as

A Queation of Clocks.

Is right twice every day? "The latter"
you reply, "unquestionably."
Very good, reader; now attend.
have two clocks; one doesn't go at all
and the other loses a minute a day,
which would you prefer? "The losing
oue," you answer, without doubt"
Now observe. The one which loses
a minute day has to lose IL hours, or
72O minutes, before it is right again;
consequently it is only right once in
two years, whereas the other is evil
IDENTIFY right as often as the time it
points to come round, which happens
twice a day. So you've contradicted
yourself once. "Ah, but" you say,
whats the use of its being right
twice day, If 1 can't tell when the
time comesT'
Why, suppose the clock points to 8
o'clock, don't you see that the clock is
right at o'clock? Consequently when
8 o'clock comes your clock Is right.

Very good; then you've contradicted
yourself twice. Now get out of the diff
f1culty as you can, and don't contradict
yourself again if you can help it,"

EDWARD JAnES, JR.

Edward James, jr., the Republican
nominee for the legislature in the
Third district, Is young man whose
popularity was strikingly attested at
the recent primaries, and whose train
ing while member Of the select coun-
cil especially fits him for effective
work at Harrisburg. He has every
quality Of a successful legislator; en-
ergy, pleasant personal address,
mind quick to seize upon the salient
features of every public problem.
thorough familiarity with the people
and conditions of his district, and
schooling in the practical affairs of
life which has put him in touch with
the needs of the great working class.
While Mr.. James resides in the city
portion of the district, his candidacy
is of particular interest to the farm
ing element by reason of the fact that
he has given especial attention to the
subject of suppressing the illegal sale
of oleomargarine. In conjunction with
City Food Inspector Fred j. Widmay-
err, Mr.. James has been largely instru-
mental in preventing much unfair
competition against the dairy inter-
ests of Lackawanna county, His ex-
perience in this direction equips him
to take an influential part in the draft
ing Of such additional legislation as
may be necessary to still further
check and eliminate the oleo nuisance.

P. A. PHILBIN.

p. A. Philbin, Republican candidate
for representative in the Fourth dis
trict, was born December 8, 1867, in
Archibald, where he has lived ever
since his birth. Like many another
son of an honest miner he received all
his education in the excellent public
schools in the town in which he was
born. AS some of the most successful
men Of these valleys at the present
day, he began life as a breaker boy
and picked slate in the breaker of the
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-10-27

Pierce Coal company at winton, near
ly two miles from his home. After two
years in the breaker he went to school
for a short while and next worked a.
clerk in Mr.. Prices store at Archibald.
From clerk he became bookkeeper and
on June I, 1885, he accepted position
in that capacity with the late James
Jordan in his large general store at
Olyphant. For over four years he re-
mained with Mr. Jordan during which
time he made hundreds of friends in
Olyphant and won the lifelong esteem
of his employer.
In September, 1889, he was offered a
similar position in the office of the
Scranton Truth, which he accepted and
two years and half later became a
member of the local staff of writer's Of
that paper He had long looked for
ward to career in journalism, and his
wide and varied experience on the staff
Of live daily paper helped to crafty
his ambition, and paved the way for q
large independent career.
Mr.. Philbin has also studied law,
having registered with Attorney H. M.
Hannah, of Scranton. For several
years he has been close student Of
legal matters and the knowledge he
has gained thereby will be of inestim-
able value to him in the state legisla-
ture.
Two years ago he bought out the
Archibald Citizen and is now editor and
proprietor Of that influential journal.
This year Mr.. Philbin accepted the un-
animous nomination of the Republic
cans of the Fourth district to represent
at Harrisburg that great industrial
section which comprises the entire up
per half of Lackawanna county ex-
tending to the Scranton line and in
Guiding the borough of Dunmore and
the townships Of Jefferson and Roaring
Brook.
There are few who are so we'll fitted
for that high Office as is Editor p. A.
Philbin, of Archibald.
Born in the district which it is his
ambition now to represent, he has
spent lifetime in the closest touch
with it's people. The son of a miner,
he knows the needs of the miners, their
just grievances and bitter wrongs, and
what laws are necessary to right the

JOHN SCHEUER, JR.

John Scheuer, Jr., Republican nom-
inee for reelection to the assembly
from the Second legislative district,
is native of the South Side Scran-
ton, where he was born on Decemner
12, 1858. He attended the public schools
until nearly fifteen years of age, when
he entered his fathers bakery to learn
the trade of baker. At the same time
he attended a business college in the
evening, thus fitting himself for the
duties of life.
In 1889 he associated himself with
his brothers. under the firm name Of
Scheuer Brothers, and bought out his
fathers bakery business and estab-
lished the large steam bakery which
is still conducted in South Scranton.
bv the firm, with the subject of this
sketch as business manager. This
bakery has always been a Union bak-
cry, and has never been identified with
the Cracker Trust.
In 1887 Mr.. Scheuer was elected to
represent the Eleventh ward in the
select council. and while member Of
that body. he faithfully represented
his constituents. He compelled the
Central Railroad company Of New Jer-
sey to file bond for damages to prop
erty on the Slocum Flats. caused by
the encroachment of said company on
the Lackawanna river, and under the
terms Of this Bond thousands of dol
lars were paid to the property owners
whose properties were damaged.
He has been a director for years in
several local Building and Loan Asso-
Citations on the South Side. which has
done so much to building up that Sec
tion of the city. He was president of
the South Side Board of Trade for
three years, and during his term of
office. the Scranton Axle works were
established in the Twentieth ward.
This concern now employs nearly two
hundred men and boys.
In 1898 he was elected to represent
the second legislative district at Har-
risburg. and performed his duties in a
painstaking and efficient manner.
Notwithstanding the excitement over
the election of a United States sena-
tor. he succeeded in having passed sew
eral measures of benefit. not only to
the people of his district. but of the
county at large. He was an ardent
advocate of every measure that would
purify the ballot, and presented and
succeeded in passing the Defective
Affidavit Bill" which prevents a citiz-
en- from losing his vote through care

lessness on the part of election boards.
He had charge in the House and sue
ceeded in passing the ELECTION Con-
test Bill" which will save the county
from expensive election contests in the
future, and which provides that the
petitioners must pay the costs in case
they do not prove their case. Contests
have been an expensive luxury in
Lackawanna county, which has paid
out 100000 as expenses in such con-
tests.
He passed bill providing for the
recording of maps of all tracts of land
laid out for sale. This enables the
purchaser of lot to know exactly
where his lot is and prevents the clos
ing of streets or alleys after the plot
has been all sold.
During the session Mr.. Scheuer was
a member Of the Committees on Ap-
propriations. Banks and Banking, Mu-
nicipal Corporations. and Labor and
Industry.
His action on all labor legislation can
be judged from the following endorse
ment:
member of the legislature of this state, was All
earnest and ardent supporter of the various bills
which were in the interest 0f labor, and lost no
opportunity to do what he could to assist u.s.
therefore, be it
Resolved That the State Legislative Board of
Railroad Employees of Pennsylvania in cor
vention assembled at Sunbury, Pa, this twenty
sixth day Of April 1900. does extend to the Hon.
John Scheuer, jr, our sincere and heartfelt
thanks for the fearless and persistent manner il
which he fought for the wage workers of this
state, and we hope that the citizens Of his dis.
trict, especially the working classes, will realize
his sterling worth. and return him to this field
of usefulness, where men Of this character are
so greatly needed
AS a member of the Appropriations
Committee he secured appropriations
amounting to $s6,500 for the charitable
institutions of his district, and succeed
ed in placing the Hahnemann Hospi-
tai on the list for $4,000. He secured
$4,000 more in appropriations than the
district formerly received, notwith-
standing the fact that the revenues Of
the state were at low ebb at the
time. He also started the agitation
for a new Lackawanna Hospital. which
bill will be taken up this session.
Mr.. Scheuer's experience on the Mu-
nicipal Corporations Committee, to
which all charters and bills relating
to the government of cities are re-
ferred, will be of especial benefit to
our city in the next session, when the
new second-class city charter for our
city will be adopted, his acquaintance
and good standing with the old mem
bers will go far towards securing good
