His great horror after having done

passage "Sleep is murdered" which
Dr.. Stafford says is the most terrible

Another redeemng feature of Mac

rected up to date.
Last week Schwenker scored 81
points. Miles, SO; Anderson, %: Lewis
IL: Miss Meredith. IA: Brunner. 49,;
Kemmerer. 6. and Miss Pedrick. ..
Yesterday new contestant made his
first returns. He was Ray Bucking-
ham. of Elmhurst, and he is in ninth
place. Garfield Anderson nearly
caught up with William Miles and is
was only two points behind for third
place. Miss Meredith passed Frank
Kemmerer, of Factoryville, and holds
sixth position this morning.
The contestants are not advancing
very rapidly and there is an excellent
opportunity for those who enter this
week. Mr.. Schwenker. who scored
the most points last week, only sue
ceeded in securing an average of six
Il day, and probably there are many
young men and women in Scranton, or
some of the surrounding towns. who
could do much better than this. 1t
is to the advantage of any of these
to enter now, before those already
enrolled succeed in gaining a greater
lead.
a contestant who begins to-day by
securing nine subscribers at one year
each. would be next to the very head
of the list.

WILL SHOW HERE FRIDAY.
Buffalo Bill to Give Three Perform
arces in Scranton.

A sensational story to the effect
that Buffalo Bills show had passed
by Wilkes-Barre last Friday. was de-
MED last night by Major Burke, the
advance man. The show Is not
booked for Wilkes Barre until this
coming Friday night
1t has been decided. however to
skip Wikes-Barre this year, on ac-
count of the smallpox scare. and to
come direct to this city from Easton
on Friday morning and play here on
Friday night, in addition to the two
performances already booked for
Saturday. The parade will be held as
advertised on Saturday morning.
1t was deemed advisable by the
management for the sake of prudence
to skip Wilkes-Barre this year. as it
ed it might hurt the business of the
show for weeks to come, the news Of
the smallpox epidemic in the sur
rounding towns having been spread
all over the country.
Major Rurke. the press agent for
Buffalo Fll. said last night that the
show people are satisfied that the
scare at Wilkes Barre is pretty much
nothing more than scare, and they
would be perfectly willing to fill their
date there If it We're not for the tim
idity of those who have not investi-
gated the matter and who might criti-
cize the show management for going
there.

A Crying Need.

Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Tie Christian people of scranton have
been very generous in providing means and insti.
tutions for the care Of the unfortunate and al
hicted We have hospitals, Home for the friend-
less House OF the Good Shepherd, Founding
Home, Florence mission, etc, all Christian in
stitutions and doing a great deal of good for hu-
manty. But one OF the crying needs OF this city
is a house of detention, where wayward and in
conigiblc girls OF tender years and girls charged
with petty crimes can be held pending their conf
mitmcnt by the court to some institution.
At present the only disposition a magistrate can
make of these cases is to commit these girls TO
the county Jail TO mingc with burglars, drunkS
thieves, prostitutes and gamblers. ] hold this is
a crime, and baIbarous. Since | have been a
magistrate of the Eighth ward | have had at
least a half hundred young incorrigible girls
before me and have been compelled 10 commit
them 10 the county Jail because there was no
other place to send them To-day committed 10
iail a child II years of age Tor petty larceny.
She will have to relnain in Jail, companion
OF older criminals, until court meets in October.
The child, l believe, is redcemable, and had we
a house Of detention manned by Christian ladies
this girl and many others could be led Ia better
life. On Friday last | committed young girl
aged 16 years TO the county jail, where she will
remain until the October session of court. Will
not the philanthropic Christian people of our
city come to the rescue of these unfortunate
young girls and build house of detention to
save them from association with drunkards
gamblers, prostitutes and all sorts OF criminals
at the county Jail? | could, il had time and
space. relate such narrowing cases that the peo.
people would be aroused to indignation. In the
name Of woman and Christianity let something be
done. W. $. Millar,

Several more of the men employed by
the Delaware. Lackawanna & West
ern company at the car and machine

terdaN over the news received from

had quit work. These men constitute
an important adjunct to the Buffalo

looked upon by the car builders as u
distinct triumph. The local inspectors

HAILED WITH SATISFACTION.
Admiral Remey Cables Washington That
the Troublesome Insurgents. from Iba
to MorOng, Have Surrendered.

Washington, April 6.-The navy de-
partment Friday received the follow
ing cablegram from Admiral Remey
at Cavite: Goodrich, at Olongapo on
the 4th, concluded surrender of in
surgents in country from Iba to
Morong."
The territory referred to in Admiral
Remey's dispatch is stretch of land
so miles long from Morong, just be-
low Subig bay, to Iba, a point nearly
40 miles up the coast in Zambeles
province, portion of country which
has caused no end of trouble to the
American forces. Gen. Greedy said
Friday that the signal corps had at
least a dozen sharp fights in this vi
cinity while endeavoring to maintain
open telegraphic communication with
Manila. The insurgents finally be-
came so aggressive that Gen. Greedy
decided to have a cable laid from Dion
gapo. in Subig bay, which is the site
selected for the new naval station in
the Philippines, to connect with Ma
Mia, on account of the difficulty in
maintaining Geographic communica-
ton overland. The laying of the ca
BILE is now in progress. The news that
this troublesome portion of Luzon has
been pacified is hailed with satisfac-
ton by war department officials.

TO COMBINE ALL RAILROADS.
Reports That Huge Deal Is In Process
OF Formation Widely Circulated
in New York.

New York, April 6.-Reports that
huge railroad combinations are in pro-
cess of formation were widely circu-
lated here yesterday. Detailed state
ments concerning the plan already
published looking to the combination
of all the great railway systems of
the United States under the control of
one company were given, but as a gen.
era1 thing prominent railroad officials
and bankers declined to discuss the
matter. According to all accounts the
enterprise involved the greatest COM
bination of capital known in the his
tory of finance. It was said the COM
pany would be formed under the laws
of New Jersey for the purpose of con-
Quoting a general freight and trans
portation business throughout the
United States, that the company
would hold a controlling interest in
all of the great railway systems and
that the management of the roads
would be vested in the controlling
company. According to the PROPOSE
ton each road would preserve it's
identity and corporate existence, but
the new company would control the
affairs of all. By this policy it was
claimed large sums of money could
be saved as result of economies in
management and the stoppage of rate
cutting.
