WILKES BARRE A clever swindler giving his name as John E. Dickson succeeded in flimtiam ming Thomas Brown, an employe of the Hafre lace mills, out of $500, and has since left the town and Brown to mourn his loss. Mr. Dickson, as he was known to the victim. Is about 48 years of nge, 5 feet inches tall and weighed, about ISo pounds.

He wore a brown moustache and a pair of closely cropped sideburns. That is the description given by Brown to the police. Brown swore that Dickson came to him and showed him a patent extract and formula for strengthening cotton warp to make it last a long time. The extract was taken from flowers which he procured from a florist. He demonstrated the value of his patent and suc ceeaed in getting Brown, who is a cotton worker, interested the scheme.

A vacant store room on North Washington street at the corner of Butler avenue was rented and the firm was to be known as the Dickson Yarn Improvement company. Mr. Dickson president and Mr. Brown vice president. The scheme looked like a bonanza and Mr.

Brown invested $300. With Dickson there came to this eu v.iune woman about years of age, whom he said was his daughter. The rest of the family was to follow within a short time. The couple spent about two weeks in the city, and after secur ine the hard earned money of the lace worker departed to parts unknown. The miliee are at work on the case, but will not say much concerning the af fair.

A MIXER KILLED. Fritz Novak, of Grand Tunnel, was killed while attempting to board a L. w. train on Saturday. He was about years of age and was employed at the rhauncey mines below Avon da 1 p.

Te tried twice to get on the train, but was thrown each time. He told a fel low worker that he was going to get on the train it' he be killed and when made the third attempt he was tin own beneath the wheels and killed almost instantly. His arms weie pulled from their sock etc and the body was otherwise mang led. The remains were taken to the home of Frank Howard, of Grand Tun nel, with whom he resided. The funeral was held today.

All the relatives of the deceased man live in the old country. CHARGES AGAINST POLICEMAN. Patrolman Patrick Boyle was given a hearing. by the mayor yesterday afternoon on charges preferred by Chief Kline. Boyle arrested a Mr.

Madden of Hazle street, on the charge of com mitting rape on a little girl. He saw the crime committed from the window of a neighboring house. Attorney John MeGrJuen stated that he had settled the case and that Boyle received S'H0 as costs in the matter. Boyle admitted that he had received the money, but stated that he had re turned it to Mr. MeGahren.

This the attorney denies. Boyle's receipt for the money was also produced at the hear ing, which was privately conducted in life mayor's private office. A DISGRACEFUL SCENE. Another disgraceful scene was witnessed in the Welsh M. E.

church on tfouth Sherman street Sunday evening, when an officer was called into the edifice to make an arrest. Rev. H. P. Morgan, the pastor, conducted the services in English and while a majority of the memoers ot tne congregation sang a hymn in English, one member.

Email Davies, who was one of the defendant trustees in the litigation which was recently passed upon by Judge Woodward, sang the words of the hymn in Welsh. This caused much indignation. At the conclusion of the regular service favies arose and announced that a prayer meeting would be conducted in Welsh after the minister had left the pulpit. The announcement caused a tilt and a policeman was sent for and upon the order of Rev. Morgan, Davies was placed under arrest.

The prisoner was taken to the lockup, where he remained for a few hours, afterwards being released upon giving JSH.O bail for his appearance for a hearing at 7 o'clock this evening. J. M. Fairy, another of the trustees, qualified as bondsman. The arrest was made by Officer Owen Hughes, but according to the statements of the trustees it was unwarranted.

The. mayor is of the opinion that the announcement if made properly did not justify the arrest, and is of the opinion that the action of Davies was in a manner contrary to the decree of Judge Woodward. If Davies by his conduct has violated the court's decree he is guilty ot contempt, and may be taken before the court on an attachment and dealt with according to law. AVOCA.

Truesdale, the new president of the Lackawanna railroad, appeared as an editorial in last Sunday's New York World under the heading "Why Eight Hours of Rest Should be Compulsory:" The officials of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad company believe that every one of its employes should rest eight hours out of every 24. An order has long been in force making it, so far as possible, mandatory upon its employes to take that amount of rest evry day. We have made the order part of the working system of the road in the interest of the public and of the men themselves. In doing so we merely carry into formal effect a recognized scientific principle which, as a matter of fact, people live up to naturally. The railroad business, however, is such that the men engaged, particularly those in the passenger, freight and telegraphic service, must be at their best every minute.

Hence the reason for our strict rule. The men live up to it as fully as to every other order in force. My attention has been called to the fact that many of the Pennsylvania papers have denounced the rule, basing their views on the idea that it ordered eight hours of sleep and that therefore it was an indefensible attack on Individual liberty. Obviously nothing could be further from our intentions. In regard to the rule the men are in entire accord with our ideas.

We prescribe rest and recreation. The form of both we leave to the judgment of the men themselves. They appreciate as well as we that they must while on duty be eager, watchful and alert; that their nerves must be steady and theiir general condition of health up to the highest standard. The slightest mistake made by a railroad man in many branches of the service may mean great loss of life and serious destruction of property. The first question I ask when I hear of the slightest accident on the road Is.

"Who was directly responsible?" The second, "Was the man who was responsible on any pretext working overtime?" To give good service and to minimize the danger of mistakes the men must be in good physical condition. A proportion, ate amount of rest contributes to that hence the eight hour rest rule Is in ieffeet on the Delaware, Lackawanna and JVestern. Edmund A. English of East Mauch Chunk, who for two months had been general yardmaster at Penobscot and prior to that time telegraph operator and assistant yardmaster at Mauch Chunk for the Central Railroad of New Jersey, has been promoted to the position of trainmaster on the High Bridge branch of the Central in New Jersey. This is one of the most important and best paying branches of tne road, a he region of the branch comprises many great pig iron industries and mines and also Thomas A.

Edison's sand works. Mr. English has been succeeded as trainmaster at Penobscot by George Aton, who was his. assistant. TAYLOR.

The school board has decided to place an electric light at No. 1 school house on Main street, and another on West Grove street in front of Nos. 2 and 3 school houses. The socials at our different churches last evening were well attended and a snug sum of money was realized. This evening Pride of Lackawanna lodge, No.

IS. American Protestant Ladies' association, will hold a members' social at their hall on Main street in honor of the safe return of sister George Hooper from Wales. The night school started out under very favorable conditions last evening. This evening the reading circle will open at the M. E.

church. The programme is a good one and the circle should be well patronized. Mr. William L. Jones, of Main street, is at Philadelphia, where he will undergo an operation.

Miss Edith Powell, of Plymouth spent Sunday with her sister, Mrs. John G. Price, of Ridge street. The entertainment at the First Congregational church this month promises to surpass any of the kind ever held In town. The town of Minooka Is preparing to organize a fire comnany.

This is a move in the right direction, as it will be of vast benefit to property owners. Mr. and Mrs. William Goodwin are rejoicing over the arrival of a young baby boy. The Ladies' Aid society of the new Catholic church are making elaborate preparations for the greatest event ever held in town, and that each one should endeavor to patronize.

It will be a country dance and supper and it will be held on Thanksgiving night at Weber's rink. The affair promises to be a grand one. The newly organized fire company held a meeting last evening at Llewellyn hall. The family of the late Samuel Powell desire to return thanks to all for kind sympathy shown at the sickness and death of the husband and father. The town will be flooded today with peddlers ana agents.

The Horrors of Te Smoking. The Medical Press and Circular seeing to hint that the latest fashionable wicked ness is to take one's tea in the form of cigarettes. Judging, however, from what our medical contemporary says of the vice, it hardly seems likely to become general. The first sensation, it appears, though pe' cullar, is not as unpleasant as might be supposed, but this condition of qualified beatitude does not last long. Then comes "a thickening of the head and a disposition to take hold of something or to sit down.

If the novice perseveres, ho or she may bo next rewarded with a feeling of exhilaration, intense, but of very brief auratloa. But the after effects, our contemporary solemnly avers, are too dreadful for con templation even by a medical commentator, and it takes many hours before the Deginner even begins to revive. A dustpan and a broom seem to ba the only things then required for removing the smoker. Hard on the Author. The author wanted some reading, and he sought out an unfamiliar shop.

Unfortunately he was a facetious author. There were people who thought him rather proud of himself. At any rate, he thought he would be recognized anywhere, because his portrait had appeared with some frequency in the periodical press. So when, after he had chosen several works of fic tion by other writers, the salesman handed him a copy of his own latest book he winked drolly at the man behind the counter and pushed the book away from him in mock disgust. "For heaven's sake, no!" he cried.

"I can't read that man's stuff." "Well, to tell you the truth," said tie salesman solemnly, "I can't either." The Difference of a Letter. A man recently left a widower, when arranging for his late wife's tombstone, gave wuna inuv mo tillering snouia uo Ol a stated size. At the bottom of the stone ho wished to have the words, "Lord, Sho Was Thine." The stonemason said he was afraid there would not be room for the words, but the bereaved widower insisted, and the cjrving was put in hand. The correctness of the mason's view was justified, for when tho stone was finished at the foot of the. tablet were tho words, "Lord, Sho Was Thin." Hives are terrible torment to the lit tie folks, and to some older ones.

I'lfd nd endorsed by K.Hi90os.S&3 H'nay, WYOMING COUNTY NEWS TUNKHANNOCK, Nov. 6. The fellows who "have five votes that I can handle for $10" were in town on Saturday and some of them got so full that they remained over night and did not get home until Sunday. There were fellows with alleged pulls In from var ious districts of the county and they can be named one by one. Most of them only control their own votes and it is a doubtful case about that vote of their own.

The man who sees them last gets the vote. There were a few hold overs who got in on Monday and the ammunition was furnished them to "go out and save the country," and they will be hard at it when this is read. There Is no way to calculate the vote in this county. It is pretty fair to say that the county will give a majority for Creasy for state treasurer and there will not be any candidate for county office elected by over 100 majority Democrat or Republican. John F.

Sickler will be the Judge election in the First ward by reason of the moving away of James F. Day to the Second ward. Hon. A. Myron Eastman, who has been having stomach trouble, took the train on Sunday afternoon to New York city, where he will consult a specialist.

He had to start off on Sunday in order to get back in time to vote on election day. Hon. Frank M. Vaughn came over from Meshoppen on Saturday, having been telephoned for by Judge Eastman to pass upon a matter of a legal character. There was a large crowd In attendance at the sale of the personal property of David E.

Gray at his store room this morning. The stock was divided up and sold in lots and it went in all directions. There was a grave conspiracy worked out on a justice of the peace up at Laceyville the other night. They play a great game of pitch up there at Laceytown, and the justice is an ardent devotee of the game. He would lose his dinner almost any time in order to get into the game.

They never play for any cash, but they get a game going and they rarely stop until somebody actually has to leave. If a chap has anything on hand he has to postpone that thing until the games are played out. Scott Ford and a couple of others, equally good fellows, had notice that the justice was due to marry a couple a mile and a half away and that the hour set for the wedding was 9 p. m. They just decided to make that wedding wait and induced the squire to set for a game or two.

Those games went on and two dozen was about the limit when the squire had to turn himself out of the game at 10:30 and still he had one mile and a half to walk before he could say the words that would make Charles Thompson and Angle Keeney man and wife. The wedding took place a little before 12 midnight and the squire tumbled before he got back to Laceytown. Women's Education. From the Boston HeTald. For thousands of years, said President Eliot, in substance, mankind has been at work finding out what studies are best for the production of well trained and well balanced masculine intellects.

But almost nothing has been done in these long centuries to solve the similar problem for women's benefit. It is a mistake for women's colleges to copy men's curriculums. Let the women's colleges find out what studies are best for women. More than one woman, speaking with authority belonging to her place aa the president of or the professor In a wo men college, has answered the renowned head of our greatest American university something to this effect: There is no sex in science. Know! edge is neither masculine nor feminine.

It is monstrously unreasonable for men after having appropriated to themselves all the sciences and all the arts and almost all the literatures, to turn round and demand that women shall create or discover new sciences, art, and literatures especially adapted to women's brains, or else shall forego all share in the higher education. There is much force, it seems to us, in this pungent rejoinder. In spite of the very great authority of President Eliot, it seems to us reasonable to urge that the true difference between college education for men and college education for women is not to be sought in different curriculums, but in the natural ON FINLEY'8 THE SILK SALE OF The Season.
