ARBITRATORS NOT KNOWN
Announcement Of Their Identity Is
Likely to Be Made Today-Mr.
Burns Is Mentioned.

No announcement was made yester-
day by either the trolley company or
the union employees as to whom they
had selected to act as arbitrators of
the dispute regarding the interpreta-
tion Of the clause relating to seniority
of service.
The arbitration proposition as drawn
up by the executive committee of the
employees was endorsed at meeting
of the street car mems union yester-
day morning, and afterwards submit
ted to General Manager Silliman. He
promised to look it over and let the
executive committee hear from him
later.
1t is likely the names of the arbitra-
tors will be made known today. The
employees have picked on two men, but
until they have the acceptance of these
two, they do not deem 1t advisable to
make their names public. EX-City
Solicitor I. H. Burns is said to be one
of them.
The employees will ask their arbitra-
tors, that in case fifth member of the
board is deemed expedient, they will
ask that some prominent member Of
the National Civic Federation be asked
to act. Nathan Strauss and Ralph M.
Easley are mentioned as among those
whom the street car men would desire
as the fifth man.
AS far as the public is concerned the
threatened street car strike Is thing
of the past.

Physical Culture at It's Best.

The training of sound body is con-
sidered of as much importance at
Swarthmore College as intellectual cul-
ture. 1t receives the same discriminate
ing direction and care. The handsome
gymnasium recently built is the latest
evidence of this.
But physical culture at Swarthmore
Is intelligently conducted. A course of
training is prescribed for each indi.
vidual case to meet the individual need.
AS a result the health record Of
Swarthmore Is remarkable.
In this, as we'll as i'm every other de-
partment, the advantage of the "small
college" Is manifest. 1t makes possible
that close personal relation between in
structor and student that awakens and
develops the best there is in a man or
woman.
The same discrimination, thorough
equipment and intelligent direction ex-
tend to every branch of the college
work-the Libraries, the physical,
chemical and biological laboratories,
machine shops, astronomical observa-
tory, etc.
Swarthmore Is co-educational. II
offers four courses-Arts, Science, Let
ters and Engineering. 1t is under the
conservative. yet progressive manage
ment of Friends-yet is distinctly nom
sectaiian. 1t is ideally located amid
200 acres of wood and lawn, affording
ample opportunity for all kinds of OUT
door sports. For catalogue and fur
ther particulars address the president,

Three contestants scored points yes
terday in The Tribune's Educational
Contest, as follows: Frank B. Nc
Creary, of Hallstead, g. A. j. Keller
man, of Scranton. 6. and Chari, } w.
Dorsey. of Scranton. 12.
Frank McCreary passed Miss Beatrice
Harpur, of Thompson. and now holds
fifteenth place in the list.
Charles Dorsey increased his lead
over A. ]. Kellerman in the struggle
for the July prizes. He also opened up
quite gap between himself and l.. T..
Stanton, who has been pressing him
closely for ninth place in the contest.
A. j. Kellerman is getting close to
the four hundred mark and nearer to
first place. He now lacks 67 points to
tie Charles Burns for the premiership
of the competition.
Those contestants who are content to
sit idly by and not try to improve every
chance are liable to be- badly disap-
pointed when the contesfls over. While
they are taking it easy" others further
down the list are not and sad
awakening awaits some who have let
golden opportunities drift by.

the largest number of points since July

DIR. BATEsoN's DISCOVERY.
Has Found Out What There Is to
Christian Science.

DR.. ]. c. Bateson, of this city, after
tion, says he has discovered and dem
onstrated, beyond doubt, that the
power to heal the sick accredited to
Christian Science, Faith Cure, Clair
voyance, Hypnotism, etc., is the same
in each case, and is due to the proper
adjustment and application of the laws
Of human temperament and not to any
supernatural Intervention.
In referring to superstitons and fads,
DR.. Bateson in q paper read at a meet
ing of the Medical Society of the State
Of Pennsylvania. held in Wilkes-Barre,
September 10, 1900, made use of the fol-
lowing language:
l viii venture 10 state that il there was
general interest taken in the study and
PRONUNCIATION of the laws of tempera-
ment, especially by the medical fratern-
ity, that there would soon be almost a
complete cessation of the superstitious
notions and fads cherished and adyocat ted
by many intelligent and conscientious
people of today. Such, for example, as
the so-called Christian Scientists, Hyp-
notists, Spiritualists, Faith Healers, etc.
These people would learn that the secret
of their process of curing depends simply
on exercising the law of healing in ac-
cordance with certain conditions Of hui
man temperament, and not on some su-
pernatural power.
The healing process is in itself law
like cohesion or growth, and is exer-
cised by various means In accordance
with the susceptibility of the tempera-
ment to the remedy used, whether 1t lie
by faith, suggestion, drugs, diet or nurs-
ing, So that when cure is effected by
faith alone, it is the result of natural
law under favorable circumstances, and
thus is removed the skeptic's objection
to the doctrine that God raises up the
sick in answer to prayer

MAKING IMPROVEMENTS.
Scranton Division of the o. & w. i
the Scene of Much Activity.

During the present season large
forces of men have been at work maxi
ing improvements at various points
on the Scranton division of the On
tario and Western railroad. Notable
among them is the double-tracking Of
the road from Forest City to Union
dale, and the installation of new rails
all over the mountains north Of Car
bondale.
At the many stations along the line
the surroundings have also been i'm
proved by the laying out of redshale
walks, flower beds, etc., and the build
ings have been freshened up with
paint. At every summer resort on the
division the boarding houses are now
all filled, and the popular Sunday eX-
cursions from Scranton to Poyntelle are
growing larger every week. A special
train will be run. to the lake tomor-
row, leaving at $50 a. M, and return

FREE PRESS SUSPENDS,
After an Existence of Thirty Years
Crank Beamish's Paper" Goes
to the Wall.

There will be no edition Of the Sum-
day Free Press tomorrow, as publica-
tion of that paper has been suspended
indefinitely. p. w. Gallagher, who re-
Gently purchased the Press, has relin-
quished its ownership, and possession
of the paper reverts to former owners.
Publication may be resumed at later
date, by new owners, but this Is merely
conjectural.
The paper has been in existence since
1872, when 1t was started by the Co.
operated Printers association, which
ton, John Courier Morris, and w. M.
Finn. The Free Press plant was in
Centre street. The association was in
charge of the paper for two years,
when it was then sold to Thomas N.
Clark, who conducted it until 1876,
when he sold it to f. A. Beamish.
The next change in the course Of the
Press, over the local journalistic sea,
occurred in 1877, when Mr.. Beamish
transferred the sheet to A. M. Rem
shaw, Frank Thompson and c. w. Nc
Kinney. In the following year Mr.
Beamish again assumed proprietorship
and continued in possession until his
death in 1895. This period marked the
greatest prosperity of the paper, which
was run then as Democratic organ.
Editor E. ]. Lynett, Of the Times,
was connected with the paper during
this time, as reporter and editor, and
as managing editor during the last ten
years. After the death of f. A. Bea-
mish the Press was edited by his son,
r.. j. Beamish, until the paper was
sold by the estate about five years ago
to p. H. Zurflieh. Three years ago it
was sold to j. ]. Mahon, and a few
months ago the last changes occurred,
when the proprietorshlp of the paper
was transferred to P. w. Gallagher.

THE WHALEN SOLD
At AUCTION
COLONEL FITCH. OF THE BOARD
OF STRATEGY TELLS, OF THE
BOATS observation-disclosures $1,000

The famous schooner Julia Il. VIVA
len was sold at public auction yes
terday for $4,000 spot cash The gem
eral opinion of those who attended the
sale was that the vessel had been Sc
cured at a bargain and she was well
worth that amount of money.
The sale was conducted at the old
Fish Market wharf and attracted a
large crowd. The vessel was inspected
by the crowds, many of whom had also
examined her bottom last week when
she was on the Marine Railway for
public inspection. viii e. Fisher, the
auctioneer, introduced Col. Thomas
Fitch, who gave a brief history of the
vessel He said that the boat was a
Massachusetts fishing boat and was
built of oak. She had cost the Marcus
Island Guano Company S2500 in San
Francisco and about $500 had i'm addi-
ton been expended in Quitting her.
He called attention to the vessels fine
sailing qualities referring to the SPLEEN
did passage of 1 6days she had made
while coming to this port from San
Francisco, and also spoke of the 10
rays run she had made from Honolulu
to Marcus Island, a distance OF 1880
miles. There was to be no upset price
he announced and there were no strings
on the sale of the vessel.
VIII e. Fisher then started the sale.
F. M. Brooks, representing a hui of
young men who desired to make a
South Sea Island trip, started the bid
ding with $1,000. This was soon run up
to Sl,700, at the rate of 800 raises
Finally the sum of $1,000 was bid by f.
w. Mage and the boat was sold at
that figure. Mr. Mage states that he
bought the boat on speculation. He
says she is a good buy and he can well
afford to lay her up if he can not put
her into the inter-island trade. A num-
Der of ships stores were also sold at
auction.

LAWYERS MUST
WORK THIS TERM
ROBINSON TELLS THEM
THE TERM WAS CALLED IN OR
DER TO TRY CASES.

"The lawyers do not seem to have
taken much interest in this special
term"
This remark was called forth from
Judge Robinson yesterday morning
when lawyer after lawyer, as cases
were called asked that his particular
cases be set for hearing some day quite
a way Off
Judge Robinson called the calendar
for the special term because it had de-
veloped that not enough of the cases
set for hearing when the calendar was
called a week ago were actually being
tried to keep the court busy.
I'm several instances it has happen
ed" continued Judge Robinson, that
a case was set and the assurance of
counsel given that the trial would take
all day or the half day, and then per-
haps at 4 o'clock the day before it was
set, a discontinuance has been fled"
Judge Robinson called the entire cal
endar and set cases for every day dur
ing the next two weeks, setting them to
be heard Immediately after the hearing
of cases already set for those days. The
object of this was to be sure that there
would be enough cases set for hearing
each day to occupy the entire time Of
the court, it being Judge RobinsOn's
desire to go as far as possible toward
clearing off the jury waived calendar
at this term, and make the term as
fruitful as possible, so as to have the
decks cleared for action at the next
regular term in all cases where a jury
is to hear the cause.

SUGAR CONSUMED
ON THE MAINLAND
TWO-THIRDS OF CONSUMPTION IN
THE UNITED STATES is IMPORT
ED-LARGE AMOUNT USED.

There is bright outlook for the SUI
gar beet industry of the country. ac-
cording to report made public by Sc
cretary Wilson showing progress of this
industry in 1901. 1t was prepared by
Charles F. Saylor, a special agent of the
agricultural department. If those who
engage in this industry are successful
the profits are large, but the production
of beet sugar is attended by many risks
of failure. Large sums are required to
develop the industry, and one of the
greatest handicaps is the necessity of
employment of large number of skill
ed and unskilled laborers. The report
says:
THE consumption of sugar in the
United States during 1902, calculated
from the figures for 1901, will be appro-
Ximately $500 900 TONS and the produce
ton of both cane and beets will reach
nearly 100000 tons This leaves 2,0OO-
900 tons to be brought in from outside
the United States proper. OF this
amount, Porto Rico should supply 10O,-
600 tons, and Hawaii 900 a total of
1000 Deducting this amount from o.
100000 tons leaves 900, 900 to be brought
from foreign sources, paying duty.
While the above are only estimates in
round numbers, they are believed to be
substantially correct.
Experience throughout the United
States has demonstrated that beets do
best in localities having certain climatic
conditions" continues the report up
to date a large strip of land reaching
across the northern portion of our coun-
try has given the most satisfactory re-
suits in growing sugar beets, 1t starts
at the Hudson, takes in the southern
half of New York, the northern por-
tons of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska the south
ern half of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, all of South Dakota, large
sections of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming,
Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon
and the coast side of California"

ROW ON THE HERMAN.
She Sailed Away in Quest of Some
Lost Treasure.

The little treasure schooner Herman
! sailed away for unknown lands Sunday
/ morning. She departed from the port
under even a greater cloud of secrecy
| than had enveloped her during her en-
! forced stay in this port. Out of five
/ passengers who had come originally on
/ her, only two departed on the Herman
| yesterday. Those two were Ogden
| Hoffman and Frank Sharratt. The rest
| of the original passengers, DR.. George
Luce, c. w. Sutton and John Chetwood
remained behind. There was the big
gest sort of a row aboard the vessel,
and when the passengers parted COM
pany it is understood it was with deci-
dedly strained" feelings on all round.
Hoffman is underst stood to have been
| the cause of the trouble. He has not,
| it is said, penny of money in the ven
| ture, but represents anOther's interests.
| Hoffman is reported to have been a
+ discordent member Of the outfit from
the time the party left San Francisco.
| Things became unbearable and the
majority of the crowd determined to
| leave the vessel at this port. Captain
! Brown was forced in a way to sustain
| Hoffman as the latter is reported to
have threatened to tie the vessel up
! here if his wishes were not acceeded to.
! Captain Brown was tired of the end
! less trouble so he was forced to see his
| friends leave the vessel.
1t is understood that the three men
| who left the boat here will go through
! to Sydney on one of the Oceanic liners
during the fall and meet Captain
! Brown there about December. The
schooner cleared for Sydney but she il
certain 20 stop at some islands b fore
she makes that port. In fact Captain
! Brown is reported to have declared
| that if Hoffman persisted IT, going with
| the boat he would leave him some
| place from where it would take the
young man three years to get home.
| The Herman is on LOST treasure ex-
petition. But it is very doubtful If
Hoffman will ever see the island where
the wealth is hidden. Captain Brown
evidently does not feel kindly toward
Hoffman and before the boat sailed
Sunday there was a big row between
him and hoffman ana Shdmatt. There
/ was no blood shed however.
