Celebration That Will Be O Credit
to the Citizens of Carbondale. and
Will Advertise the City in a Way
That Will Be a Great Benefit-An-
other One Hundred Dollar Sub
scription-other Matters of In
terest.

The time for the sem-centennial
celebration is rapidly approaching, a
fact that is quickening the projectors
of the enterprise that it is hoped will
be Credtable in the highest degree to
the citizens of Carbondale, and will be
the means of advertising this city in a
manner that will be a potent factor in
enhancing the future growth and pros
perity of the community.
The desidCratum in affairs of this
character is an abundance of money,
to carry out the elaborate plans of the
celebration, and that this is fully APP
preciated by the projectors is shown in
the increased activity along this line
during the past few weeks. The list
of subscriptions is being augmented
daily, and will even show a greater in
crease henceforth.
The latest subscription was on Satur-
day, when the scranton Railway COM
pany donated one hundred dollars. The
list thus far is:

SCHLEY REPLIES TO HACKETT.

Charges Navy Department With Inn properly Construing His Letter on the Howison Matter.
 Washington, Aug 24--Acting Secre- tary of the Navy Hackett to-day re- ceived reply from Admiral Schley to the letter recently submitted to him by the department declining to question Rear Admiral Howison as to the au- thenticity of the alleged interview with him rehecting upon Admiral Schley. The reply was sent to Captain Lerniey, fudge advocate of the court of inquiry. This means that so far as the depart ment is concerned further action on the Howison incident will not be taken that being left to the court.
 Admiral Schley's letter is as follows: Washington, D. C.. Aug. 21, 1901.
 q have to acknowledge the receipt of the departments letter of this date in reply to my communication of the 18th "2. While it is true that one of my counsel, Captain Parker, in reply to an inquiry made to him, did give his per- lsonaI opinion of the several rear admir- als on the active and retired lists, among whom was Rear Admiral Howl son. I am assured by him that he be- Heyes the secretary misunderstood him that any one of the officers named would be perfectly satisfactory to me. Captain Parker's conversation was had at a time when nothing was known Of the alleged interview as published in the Boston Record.
 "3. Tn my letter of the 18th inst. ex- pressly stated my opinion of the hlgh personal character of Rear Admiral Howison and I avoided any expression as to the truth of the statement made in the newspaper clipping which l en- closed.
 "A. It was with the desire to avoid the necessity of making formal chal- lenge that I requested the department to lay before Admiral Howison the statements that he is alleged to have made, and thus give him the opportuni- tv to take such action as his sense of the propriety of the occasion might suggest.
 q therefore respectfully state that the department has not placed the proper construction upon my letter when 1t treated it in the nature Of a preliminary challenge for cause. l could not challenge for cause until l discovered there was cause, and the object of my communication, as is evi- dent, upon it's face, was to ascertain if Rear Admiral Howison had made this statement. You will observe in this connection that in his original state ment he says, T have made no public utterance relating to this subject
 T submit that his private utterances would affect his quotation as much as his public utterances and my request was only to have this alleged inter- view submitted for his consideration.
 "Very respectfully,
 ''W. S. Schley,
 Rear Admiral, U, $. N"

THE MEMORIAL BOULDER
NO IT MARKING THE TALE SITE AZ
 SAYBROOK.
pI,ced i'm Position at saybrooIz- Ex =
 ercises to Be Held November II.

The boulder to mark the site of the house presented to the "Colleglate School" in Saybrook by Nathamel Iynde soon after it's foundation mas been set in place, and presents very slightly appearance. The bronze pia'e to record the fact that the stone is on the first site of Yale college and the dates of the foundation and the re- moval, 1701 and 1716, will soon be cast and be ready to be affixed to the boul- der
 The date of the commemorative eX- ercises in Saybrook will be November Il, the 200th anniversary of the day on which the corporators held thelf htsl meeting in the place and voted that It should be the site of the new college Professor Franklin B. Dexter, historian and annaist of the college, has accept ed an invitation to deliver the hlstorl- cal address on that occasion.
 At the fifteen commencements held in Saybrook f1fty-six young men were graduated. Of these ten were ot say brook families, namely: Samuel Whit tlesey, 05; Daniel Chapman, Samuel Lynde, Daniel Taylor and Thomas Tousey, '07; Joseph Blague, Jedldlah Huntington, Nathaniel Clarke, BenJa- min Lord and Joseph Willard, IA; oEe' the first student at the college to re- ceive a degree, John Hart, 'O9, became tutor in the institution, ana one, Azariah Mather, '05, became pastor ol the local church before the college was removed and was succeeded then py MT. Hart's oldest son. Four other grad uates were tutors in Saybrook, namely: Phineas Fiske, '04; William Russell ana Joseph Moves, 09, and Samuel Russell, '12; so that between one-third and one fourth of all who took their degrees De- fore the removal of the institution had special relations with the first site, either by descent or by professional work, besides the fact that they pur- sued their academic studies thefe' While Nathaniel Lynde is justly re- membered as an early benefactor or the college on account of his gift ot a house and lot to be occupied as long as the institution should remain in Say brook, there was another benefactor in its early home, John Clark, Jr., Who in 17O2 made. the liberal gift Of 2,00O acres of Mantle Indian lands, which had been bequeathed to him by the Sachem Joshua. Only one other gilt was made to the collegiate school at it's beginning, and that was from James Fitch of Plainfeld, consisting of about 637 acres of land nigh Woodstock His name suggests that he was a klns- man of Rev. MT. Fitch who led the migration from Saybrook to Norwich.

AN OPPORTUNITY

REFRESHMENTS" Journal ana courier Office. New Haven. au20 It AN OPPORTUNITY to become shareholder in a corporation which is selling it's shares for development work only at popular prices, and numbers aMong its sub- scribers representative gentle men like the Hon. Wm. c. Whitney, Wu Ting Fang (the Chinese Minister), Thos. D. Reilly, Robt. A. Tucker, Frank H. Ouinby, and a host of others.
 The New Amsterdam Oil Company has already sold 1000 shares of it's stock at $1.oo per share, with which money 1oo acres of rich oil land in Ventura County, Cal ifornia, a complete outfit to drill one we'll was bought, and said we'll is being now bored.
 The Company now offers to sell 5000 shares at SI.oo,
 6,ooo shares at $I.25,
 5000 shares at $I.5o,
 5000 shares at $1.75.
 4,ooo shares at $2.oo.
 With the money derived from the 5000 shares at $I.oo an additional well will be put down on the aforesaid l6o acres.
 Another l6O acres ad- joining the first tract and an- other outfit will be bought and a third well be sunk, with the money derived from the sale of the 6,ooo shares at SIPS each.
 The 5000 shares at S.5o will secure outright l6O acres additional of well To- cated Ventura oil lands, buy a third outfit and sink an- other we'll, and at the same time secure the option of purchasing the remaining l34O acres in this tract, in the event of oil being found in paying quantities.
 The 5000 shares at SI.75 will secure 2S acres of abso- lutely proven oil land sur rounded now by flowing wells, and sink one we'll on the same, but the purchase ot the land itself will not be consummated unless oil in paying quantity is discov- cred
 The remaining LOCO shares at S2.oo will secure a tract of 32o acres of what we believe is rich oil land, also in Ven tura, purchase another outfit and sink another we'll. The security of one is the secur- ity of all; and should we find only one well producing 1OO bbls. daily, the Company will be able to pay handsome div idends and the shares will enhance enormously in value.
 All shares are original cap l ital stock and are non-assess- able. No allotment of less than ten shares will be made, and subscriptions will be ac- cepted in order received.
