aiOw to Dry Rubber Boots,

1t was problem how to dry out our
hip rubber boots. In the sitting room
there was an open crate fire. which
was covered every night with fine coal
and a few shOvelfuls of ashes. so that
the room never became quite cold. We
found that if we heated piece of old
it down into the foot of boot and
stood the boot in front of the fireplace
it was as dry as a bone next morning.
The handiest thing to keep the boot
leg open is spring steel corset rib
about eighteen inches long by three
quarters Of an inch in width.

A DozeneDifferent Ways

When the ordinary citizen intends t.,
go east, or send orr friends or relatives to
come west, the choice OF routes is ques-
ton that always bothers him. He wants
to know if the same route he used once,
some time ago, makes the same time,
same connections, if the price is the same,
If il costs the same to 20 east as it did to
come west. Possibly, he has h ard or
read OF famous points OF interest in the
west or middle west that he overlooked
on the trip he made. Did not see them
because he had not time; di1 not know
he could for the same money; did not
know he could get a stopover. There are
hundreds of questions he would have
asked, many things he would like to have
seen and ma::y accommodations he.cOuld
have enjoyed, only, he did not have time
to look into the subject, and it was too
much bother anyway.
Here is Il suggestion that will save you
all that tr )uhle, veXation and regret. The
Illinois Central Railroad Company runs
east and south from St. Paul. omaha
and St. Lonls, and nLrh from New
Orleans. At these points, it ccnnects
with ALL the western trunk lines, and
through Thea with all THEIR western
connec ions. The Illinois Central does
not care which line you use IN the west,
northwest, central west or southwest,
heccuse it connects with all Of them, and
is absolutely impartial to all. Ali yen
have to do is to drop ns Il note; tell us
your destination and starting p1int Is
there an thing in the whole glorious WI. s
that you want IL see on the way? Mem
ton it. We will arrange for it if it can
he done. Perhaps you will wait stop
over. We will arrange that too If ii is
possible for anyone to do it. Just make
a suggestion as to the western line and
we will eanorate it for yon; tell YOU the
time You should start, when You should
arrive at destination, what accommoda
tiOns You will enjoy. what it will cost
you, an itinerary Tor the trip. and will do
anything that we possibly can to make
your journey pleasant ana comfortable.
That's what We are here for. We have
headquarters in Portland; Agents in
Portland and Seattle, and Travelling
Agents that will come and talk it over
with you any time and at any place in
the northwest without its costing you a
cent more than \ postas e stamp. Chi
cago business is a specially with us, but
we have our own rails in dozen different
states cas- OF St Paul, Omaha and New
Orleans, and can ticket yon to these
gateways over dozen different routes.
Write us. BY the way, do fu want a
nice wall map Of the United "a es, Cuba
and Porto Rico? Send me six cents to
pay postage.

WALL STREET.

Wall street is in a bad plight. Its

has no business to dabble in Wall street
speculations, but for the bad one that

Raymond" to the Chicago Tribune Re-
publican, } for which he is the Washing

EIGHT-HOUR DAY FOR

Cannot Agree with Master Painters
as to When the New Order
Shall Become Effective.

A committee of Painters Local union,
No. 21S, of this city. consisting of p. f.
Holton. chairman; William Bauer, Ed
ward Pahlman, Edward Brcher and
John McDonough, between March and
H. sent letters to all of the master
painters of the city. submitting the fol-
lowing scale of wages for consideration:
Section /. That and after April L. 1902,
eight hours shall constitute null days work.
Sec. ,. That IS is cents per hour shall be
the minimum rate per hour
Sec. 3. That each employer shall pay his
employees every two weeks
Sec. 4. Overtime to be paid for at the rate
of time and half time, and sunday work and
all legal holidays shall be paid for at the rate
OF double time, and no work whatever shall he
done on Labor Day. Fourth of July or Christmas
Day.
Sec. 3 That board and car fare shall be paid
by employers on all out of town work.
The committee would request an early and
earnest consideration of the above scale, and
would be pleased to meet yOu Monday evening"
March IL, at Durrs hail, Sl3 Lackawanna ave-
nue.
The master painters sent reply
agreeing to the wage scale and hours,
but asked that it go into effect on June
Is instead of April |, to permit them to
close up work on contracts taken un-
der existing prices of labor.
This was not satisfactory to the
painters, and last night committee of
the master painters, consisting of G. S.
Jacobs, A. |. Fowler, Charles Rehrig,
Alexander S. Negley and G.. a. Briegel
met the committee of the painters
named above in the rooms of the Build
ers' Exchange.
After some discussion the master
painters agreed to have the new scale
of hours and prices so into effect on
May /, but that also was rejected by
the painters. The master painters re-
fused to consent to an earlier date, stat
ing that it would be impossible even
in a month to clean up the work now
on hand. Monday night the painters
will have a meeting, when the commit
tee that met the master painters last
night will submit its report for consd-
GRAFTON and action.

FOR THE CHARITY BALL.
Special Trains Will Be Run on the
Delaware and Hudson.


Chairman r. ]. Bourke, of the COM
mittee having in charge the arrange
ments for the Charity Ball on Monday
night, announced yesterday that a. j.
Casey had succeeded in making special
arrangements with superintendent c.
II. Manvllle. of the Delaware and Hud-
son Railroad company, for the accom-
modation of persons from Carbondale
to Wilkes Barre, who may desire to
attend.
A special train will leave Carbondale
at $3.50 o'clock on Monday night and
the train which generally leaves this
city for up the valley at Ills o'clock,
will be held until o'clock for those
who may desire to tarry little longer
at the ball.
Arrangements have also been made
for the running of a special train to
Wilkes Barre and all intermediate
points at 2:45 a. m. A number of peo-
pie down the valley have been fearful
of attending the ball because they
would have to remain in this city all
night. This arrangement will obviate
the difficulty Superintendent Man
vile makes no extra charge for these
trains, but will put them on as the
company's contribution to the ball.
Another matter which the committee
desires to have set at rest is the rumor
that exorbitant and impossible prices
will be charged for cabs. The livery
men will have to go out of town for
extra cabs to supply the demand. but
they will charge only 80 cents extra by
mutual agreement
The decorations in the armory have
been all completed and it presents a
picture of dazzling beauty. The gem
eral committee will meet there tomor-
row afternoon at o'clock to perfect
the final details.

afternoon, but they do not say posi-
lively that they will
They propose to go into the meeting
Sunday afternoon and fight against
