advanced to SLIGO box, with the
prospect OF its being doubled.
In all these years, however, that
the American people were paying high
prices for their tin ware in exchange
for the rather dubious assurance
that the foreigner was paying the
tax, 1t appears that the Standard Oil
company was working insidiously to
tear down the grand principle of
protection to American industries.
In other words, instead Of being
willing to go into the home market
and pay the same prices which 9th.
er people had to pay for tin plate,
and thus contribute its meagre share
TO the support of the infant indus
tries, the Standard Oil got special
dispensatlon which permitted it to buy
its tin plate direct from the Welsh
manufacturers, and to have the same
brought into America under suspen-
sion of the rules requiring the for
eigner to pay the tax.
The whole story Of reputation
and dishonor is told fiji dispatch
from New York, of yesterdays date,
which reads:
"The steamship Exeter City arriv-
ed yesterday from England with 81
600 boxes of tin plate for the Stand
ard Oil company. This, however, is
not an unusual shipment The
Standard OIL company buys no Amer.
lean tin plate when it can avoid it.
All OF its oil exported to certain
points Of Europe is shipped in tins
These tins are made out of Welsh tir
plate. Under Il provision OF the
Dingley tariff bill the Standard OF
| company and other exporters are al
lowed rebate of 0 per cent. on all
4
| tin plate re-exported in the shape OF
cans"
And then the dispatch adds: "By
the provision of this bill the Standard
Oil company is able to buy its tin
plate much cheaper abroad than il
the United States"
Alas for the unpatriotic and mer
cenary policy Of the Standard Oh
company, which not only robs the
anaemic infant industry of its scant
support, but takes from the foreign
er his God-given privilege of paying
the tax!
A few more examples like this, and
the American people will conclude
that the protection gold brick in which
they have invested was not even coat.

Mr.. and Mrs. Henniman Charged
with Stealing Nine Porkers.

John Henniman and his wife. Kate,
OF Crown avenue, were yesterday ar
rested at the instance of Special officer
Peter Laube, Of the same street, who
charges them with the larceny of nine
pigs and with assault and battery. A
hearing in the case was held yesterday

Laube turned over ten pigs to Mr.. and
Mrs, Heniman few weeks ago, with
the verbal understanding that they
were to care for the animals until the
fall, for half the profits OF the sale.
One of the porkers died a few days
ago, and Laube, becoming dissatisfied
at the way in which the Henimans
were caring for the animals, took them
away. He claims that Heniman and
his wife assaulted him on Thursday
night and took the pigs away from his
yard and back to their former quarters.
Alderman Kasson held each of the
defendants in 5000 bail on each of the
charges.

Rev. Albert Hatcher Smith. pastor
Of the North Main avenue Baptist
church, when he took charge a few
months ago decided that there was a
great need in North Scranton for an
institutional church and he set about
taking the first steps towards filling
this need.
He enlisted the services Of some Of
the leading members of his congrega-
ton and the result was the erection of
spacious temporary building at the
corner of North Main avenue and Oak
street, on the large vacant lot adjoin-
ing the church and on which 1t is pro-
posed at later date to erect a new
| edlfice.
Rev. Mr. Smith secured the services
of Miss Fannie Crosby Myers, a talent
ed young woman who has been for
some time a member Of the faculty of
the Neff College of Oratory at Phila-
delphia, and with her assistance organ
lied a summer school. The classes
were quickly organized and the first
sessions were held just five weeks ago,
The tabernacle, as the big building
is called, was used as a school house
and sessions were held every day from
$50 a. m. to 1.30 p. m. for the younger
people, and every night between the
hours of s and 10 for the young men
and women who were unable to at
tend in the daytime.
PHYSICAL CULTURE TAUGHT.
Physical culture i'm the form of dumb
bell, wand and Indian club drills and
delsarte exercises were taught as well
as elocution, literature and extempor-
aneous speech. The school was phe-
nomenally successful, there being 36C
pupils registered. The young men and
young women of North Scranton at.
tended in large numbers and excellent
work has been accomplished. The
school was run on strictly undenomi.
national lines and was attended by
Jews, Catholics and Protestants of al.
most every denomination.
The closing exercises were held las
night before very large audience ant
the cleverness displayed by the pupil.
reflected great credit upon both Rev
Mr. Smith and his very capable assist
ant. Miss Myers.
The principal features of the lengthy
programme were cleverly executed
dumb-bell Indian club and want

dainty little recitation by Miss BESSIE
Sloat and a recitation by Miss Myers
herself. In addition to these number.
