Vacuum Clothes Washer.

A vacuum clothes washer is the
newest invention to save labor in the
laundry. 1t operates on the vacuum
suction principle, supposedly releasing
the washwoman from the necessity OF
rubbing the garments. All the clothes
to be washed are merely put in the
clothes boiler with shaved soap OF
washing powder and water, anc the
vacuum washer. When the water
reaches the boiling point it is drawn
automatically from the bottom Of the
boiler and forced up in a stream
through the clothes.
The vacuum washer is made of
zinc which is polished, so that It will

Chocolate is made from cocoa beans

Cocoa grows in the form of a bean

DUKE OF MONTPENsIER NOW A KING

the only brother and heir OF the
Duke OF Orleans, chief of the royalist

on account OF the pretension of the
Duke of Orleans to the throne OF
France, he has been denied service
in the French army; but he has made
up for this by explorations In the
hinterland of Tonking and Cochin,
China. He also served with distinc-

the Moors.

road was opened to Wilkes-Barre,
the Laurel Line company has taken
up the matter of the Carbondale ex-
tension only to drop it each time.
At one time options were secured on
several properties, one being planned
as the site for terminal in Carbon
dale. Those options expired and ac-
cording to the statement of PROM
inent man of the company the plan
is dead for all time.
Since the completion the addi-
tional two tracks by the Delaware e.
Hudson company it has been whis-
pered around that plans were to be
taken up for the electriication of
two tracks for passenger traffic,
which would make possible a twen-
ty-minute service and do much to-
ward the development of traffic be-
tween the two cities and intervening
places. The Laurel Line since it's
opening has increased traffic between
Wilkes-Barre and Scranton twelve
times over.
The average increase in traffic
brought by lines run as is the Laurel
Line is four fold. Between Scran-
ton and Carbondale there are now
twenty-eight trains a day, fourteen
each way. During the day there are
trains nearly every hour but at night
the service is much reduced, there
being but two trains out of Carbon
dale at night, one at 1910 and the
other at 10:30.
1t has always been accepted as
fact that there is great deal more
travel between Carbondale and
Scranton and greater opportunities
for such a road as the Laurel Line
than between Scranton and Wilkes
Barre. The original intention of the
promoters of the Laurel Line was to
extend the line to Carbondale and
the line was run to Wilkes-Barre
first because it was easier to secure
the right of way. The Laurel Line
stations in their order from Scran-
ton to Wilkes-Barre are: South
Scranton, Virginia, Rocky Glen, Moo
sic, Dupont, Avoca, Pittston, Inker-
man, Hilldale and Plains. On the D.
G. H. to Carbondale the stations are
Green Ridge, Providence, Dickson
City, Olyphant, Peckville and Jes-
sup, Winton, Archibald, Jermyn, May
field and Carbondale.
Officials of the D. & H. company
recognize that their line is now in a
good position to go ahead with an
electric road between Scranton and

Under consideration for years,
plans for the electrification of the
Delaware and Hudson railroad be-

now stated by reports from reliable
sources to be pretty close to con-

1t is understood that there is just
one problem that stands as the OBJ

means of overriding this, the plans
for using electricity for the COM

those cities will be taken up, with
every prospect of being adopted.
This problem concerns the diff

four-track line to Carbondale. 1t

IAN old Glasgow Scotchman was

in the same street. He was Scotch
of the very Scotch, and carried all
his things in a wheelbarrow instead
of hiring an eXpressman. The last
load was tall, ungainly grandfath-
er's clock, as stiff and awkward to
move as an old man with muscular
rheumatism. So the economical
Scot had to abandon the barrow and
carry the clock over his shoulders.
