PENNSY.-GOUtD
FIGHT WARM

Further plans Of the Pennsylvania
and Vanderbilt people to keep Georg,
J. Gould from getting through lin
to tidewater came to light yesterday
when it was learned that the Penn
ylyania and Vanderbilt interest,"
will unite in bidding for the Ee
River Railroad which will shortly b,
sold at public auction.
This road is ninety-four miles long
and runs from Logansport to Butler
Ind. 1t is one of the most important
connections of the Wabash "a Gould
road), and by an arrangement made
in December, 1900, was turned over
for operation by the Wabash at $4,000
per month until sold.
The determination OF the Pennsyl-
yania- Vanderbilt interests to balk
Mr.. Gould in his project is plainly to
be seen in this move. 1t seems that
the two allied interests in this fight
are stretching every nerve to upset
Mr. Gould's plans.
From an interest close to Mr.
Could it was learned yesterday that
he will not build line into New
York city, nor will he seek to obtain
control of any of the trunk lines.
Tie stock Of these roads being held
through community of interes and
no outsider or group of outsiders
having enough to purchase any of
them. What Mr.. Gould proposes to
do is to make some traffic deal, prob
ably with the Lackawanna and West
ern or the Erie and Delaware. 1t
was further stated that he could
make traffic arrangements for put
ting the business of the Wabash,
Wheeling and Lake Erie, Missouri
Pacific and other Gould railroads in.
to New York or other seaboard cities
and do it more cheaply than if he
bought railroad.
Meanwhile Mr.. Gould is going
right ahead with his project to put
the Wheeling and Lake Erie into
Pittsburg; surveyors being now on
the preliminary surveys for the new
line.
A strong reason why Mr.. Gould
wants this road is that he has a con-
tract for 25 per cent. of the tonnage
of the Carnegie Company, which will
reduce the freight which the Penn.
sylvania and Baltimore and Ohio re-
ceive.
Yesterday the Gould stocks were
bought by insiders, particularly the
Wabash issues. Eric, too, was we'll
taken, and there was a rumol on the
streets that Gould was after this
road But this story was afterward
diScrcdited.

derived from its use.
Not only among business men, law

and brain invigorator the world has
ever known.
If your wife, daughter or sister is
pale, languId, headachy and irritable,
persuade her to try Paine's celery

COLUMBIA OPERA co,

AT the Grand Opera House on Mon
day, May 27, the Columbia Comic Opera
Company will commence an engagement
of one week, presenting repertoire of
comic operas at popular prices. Wher-
ever this organization has appeared the
press and public have been enthusiastic
in their praise OF the excellence OF their
productions.
Comic opera is the must popular
amusement Of the day, for the reason
that the masses like an entertainment
that is light, with sparkling music and
effervescent comedy. The management
of the Columbia company has not been
unmindfu of the fact that the eye must
be pleased as well as the ear, and in con-
sequence has taken great pains to secure
good-looking chorus ladies, knowing
this to be an important factor to the sue.
cess of comic opera.
The management OF this attraction
claim to have a powerful cast, including
two exceptionally funny comedians,
strong chorus and magnificent costumes.
Monday night La Mascotte" will be
heard. All OF the above will be seen and
heard at popular prices which should be
appreciated by the patrons of light opera.

ing Wednesday.

LEHIGH MEN STRIKE.
Boilermakers at Easton Refuse to
Repair Locomotives,

Easton, Pa, May 24.-The boiler-ma-
kers employed in the Lehgh Valley
Company's shops here, about 100 in num-
Der, struck today because they were
ordered to repair locomotive wrecked
on one of the upper divisions Of the
road.
The boier-makcrs at Buffalo and
Wilkesbarre, where repair work for the
upper division is done, are on strike and
the local men declare they would be
"scabbing" if they worked on the loco
motive.
The strike so far has not affected any
of the other departments of the shops
here, but there is no way of ascertaining
what the machinists, carpenters and
other tradesmen will do. The machin-
lists are well organized.
The boilcrmakers in Tippit & Woods
Works, Philipsburg, are members of the
union. They have not gone out.

lBLlsnED DAILY. EXCEPT SUNDAY

ONE would think the President
took no interest in the future OF the
Republicans in Delaware. Instead
oil making an appointment tor COL
hector OF Ports, which Office expired
over four montha ago, he seems to
be going to let things DRIFT along
ias usual for another year. The
President is not treating the Re-
publicans right We do not care
who the appointee is, 80 he IS a
Republican. The man who refuses
to make the appointment. is NOR
al coward and not fit to deal with
men. The Democrats act differ
ent. NO Republican encumbent
could have held the position under
a Democrat President. His scalp
would have been taken long ago,
and there is no good reason why a
Democra at should hold the Office af-
ter his term expires. Let the Pres.
ident consult others than the poll
ticians If he cannot fix on a suit
able candidate. We should like to
see the concensus of opinion asked
from the Republican voters of Will
mington and New Castle Hd., as
to whom they wished appointed.
Let the people do the recommend
ing, not the politicians.
THE Morning News, in speaking
OF the wage question says: ut mas
hoan the raae hare in \Vilmin pton
when manufacturers have oper ated
their works without making a cent
OF proft-that they have provided
work for their men without any
compensation for capital invested
for time expended. That is why,
when business improves, the manu-
facturer is entitled to make fair
percentage in order to balance his
books. A period Of three years
without any returns for capital re-
quires another period of profit of
at least six years to make up the
average. That is a point that
must always he borne in mind.
1t is a true but sad saying. never
theless that the firm who cant
treat its employees right, will be
driven outof business and the more
progressive firms get the work.
The nine hour day has come to stay.
The movement has been gaining
ground for years and it now seems
the progressive firms will accede
