So complete in every point of edu- cational value is the Morse college this year that we are liberal in urging prospective pupils and parents to look
 around, visit other commercial schools and compare what you find with our accumulation of the very best this country has to offer in Business Train
 ing. Don't be satisfied to sit in the office and listen to arguments against the up-to-date Morse courses of train- ing and claims that the New Morse College Building and its superior equipment are not necessary for a practical education, but demand that you be shown through the school and see with your own eyes. You will then be more than satisfied with your choice of modern courses of learning by-doing, our large, light, spacious departments of instruction, our com. pletely and elegantly equipped offices of Actual Practice, our high-salarie6 faculty of experienced teachers, the THOROUG HNESS of the Morse Training and the backing that you have in our placing every Morse grad. uate in a desirable position. We do not know, at the present time, of any student who had finished either course of training at this institution, in any year, who is not now satisfactorily

No other commercial school in this section would dare make this public claim and offer. It is all easy enough to nd. vertise fictitious numbers of positions, but it is altogether another matter to really place every graduate in a good salaried situation as Morse's has done and will continue to do.
 This College is, furthermore, nicely settled in beautiful home of it's own. It isn't for sale. It won't go out of existence or change ownership in years to come, If you enroll as n student here this year you won't be sold as resource of the school to someone you never heard of before. Thousands of dollars have been ex- pended here this year to make Morse's in every particular the best Business School in the Country.

HOSTS OF MINERS IDLE
Mitchell Day Observed in An

/. HAZLETON. Pa. October 2s.-Hard-
ly a wheel turned today in the anthra-
cite coal fields of Pennsylvania. The
miners celebrated Mitchell day In
honor Of the anniversary of the sue
cessful termination OF the strike Of
1900, the first conducted In the hard
coal belt under the leadership of John
Mitchell, then president OF the United
Mine Workers Of America. In proclama
tions issued from the union headquar-
ters Of the three anthracite districts all
the men were advised to remain idle
today except those whose services are
necessary Tor the operation of pumps
and other machinery.
The 1900 strike was the initial clash
of the mine workers with the anthra-
cite operators. who before that time
had dealt with the Knights OF Labor.
The struggle won for the men a 10
per cent wage increase and other con-
ceSSiOnS.

had demonstrated its great superiority
over the old method Of personal service.
Out of total of S37 summonses In the
past month only fourteen had remained
undelivered. while under the old system
he says at least sixty-eight would have
been undelivered because OF changes in
addresses which are not recorded in the
directory.
''The Post Office Department is more
quickly notified of change i'm address"
he said, land hence the percentage of
undelivered summonses Is much smaller
The total cost to litigants for the notifi-
cation by mail system has been only

have cost $40 T..
Bar associations and attorneys all over
