M. C. A. Athletes Getting in Readi ness for tbe Meet in Wilkes L'arre on Jane 17. 4T MAILING ENTEY BLAMS At this time of the year T.

M. C. A. park on Washington avenue presents much the same appearance as does Franklin field at Pennsylvania or Soldiers' Field at Harvard. "In training" is the oder of the day and the boys are all hard at work.

It has only been of very recent years that any real interest has been taken in athletic sports but a constnt stream of re turning college men imbued with the strenuous life has thrown the proper spirit into the work so that in the near future Scranton promises to support a Y.

The first meet of the season will be that held by the Wilkes Barre Y. M. C. A. June 17.

The entry blanks just issued have been mailed to a number of Scranton men and there are prospects of many entries and not a few of the cups and medals may find their way to this city. There are a number of college "grads" here who could do good work with a little train ing and Director Jackson is doing his best to get out a representative team. Chris Rose and Tom Hughes should be joint winners in the shot put, and Rose ought to make the Wilkes Barreans' 'go some" to win the hammer throw. Hughes is also looking up his work in pole vault. Then there are Lawrence and Rey nolds in the high jump and Hamilton a.

Ryan in the dashes. The latter twv ilso negotiate the sticks and with Drac ice should make A 1 hurdlers. An old college star is Billy Wareham of Dickinson. He is in good shape and in the 440 and 880 should have time to sit down and think it over till the rest of the bunch catch up. Billy also broad jumps some.

Prank Linen and Edward Shafer are both members of the association. Mellford, Shannon and Larry Rawlson are also tennis players and THE WHITE SEASON HAS NOW OPENED the tournament will produce some hot contests.

DU BOIS Spoke of the People He Had Met Abroad and How He Came to Know Them. A very interesting lecture was delivered last evening at the Railroad Young Men's Christian association by Hon. James T. Du Bois, who has spent eleven years in the consular service of the United States. Mr.

Du Bois spoke on "People I Met Abroad and How I Came to Know Them." The fame of Mr. Du Bois as a speaker and his subject, which is a most interesting one, attracted a very large audience to hear him. T. E. Clark, general superintendent of the Lackawanna railroad, presided and introduced Mr.

Du Bois. The association quartet rendered several selections during the evening. Mr. Du Bois spoke of the railroad men and the position which they occupy in the affairs of the world and paid a glowing tribute to them. His talk was of a humorous nature and kept his audience in continuous laughter with stories of the experiences in the consular service.

He 'spoke in part as follows: "The American people realize the extensive power and influence of the railroads of this country. They realize that had it not been for the railroads which during the last seventy years have covered the country and built it up all these industries and commercial enterprises could not have been established. All this has been accom plished within less than seventy years by railroad men backed by active capl talists. Because of all this, great importance is attached to the consular service. We have the very best consular service in the world but we want to make it as near perfect aa possible." Mr.

DuBois then spoke of people he met and told a number of humorous incidents connected with his service while consul in Germany. He spoke very highly of the German people and of the fair manner in which they deal out justice to foreigners and natives alike. He said there are many sides to the consular service, humorous, pathetic fend otherwise. He spoke briefly of each and especially of the pathetic side, relating an incident which occurred while he was consul in Switzerland and in which he was Instrumental in bringing together a young man and his relatives. The young man had come to America as a baby with his mother and in traveling across the country his mother was killed and he was left without any trace of his However, after many years, the young man, who Is a prominent railroad man in Indiana, was able to discover his relatives through the efforts of the consular service.

In conclusion Mr. DuBois spoke of some of the countries and historical places which he visited. Ell Green's Deer Meat.

The game wardens thought to take the wary Ell by surprise, so, arming themselves with a quart of the best whisky to be had, and disguised as a sporting party, they crossed the fields on snowshoes, and, reaching the house. Introduced themselves as the Appalachian club, told Green what a pleasant trip they had, and, producing the bottle, offered him a drink.

The delighted farmer partook freely, and soon was In a very confidential The visitors then added that cney lacxea out one tiling to make a success of the trip. "We haven't had any deer meat," they said. "Of course it is out of season, but couldn't you get us some? No one will know It up here." At first he said he couldn't, but money persuaded him, and. taking a shovel, he started in the direction of the barn, and soon returned, dragging a large piece of meat. But Just then his wife called from the house: "Why, Ell.

what yer doln'? What yer diggin' up thet pork fer?" "Yer Jest mind yer bizness, will yer; thet's deer meat, I tell yer. Why, now, ef 'taint I never see no deer meat. I give four dollars and fifty cents for thet air pig, and give him ten bags of grain, at one dollar a bag. Now, ef that ain't dear meat, where you'll find it I dunno." Boston Herald. Old Aetata.

It Is a popular notion that active participation In the work of the stage Is incompatible with longevity, but many instances prove the reverse of this. Mr. Jefferson was seventy six when he died. 'His death was not duo to an Infirmity of age, and his professional abilities had shown no impairment. On March 12 John L.

Toole, long a popular favorite In London, celebrated at his home In Brighton his seventy second birthday. Born In London In 1833, he first appeared on the stage In 1852. Tommaso Salvlnl, living In Italy, was born In Milan In 1830. Henry Irving was born In Yorkshire In 1838 and Lydla Thompson In London In the same year. James H.

Ktoddnrt. who has been acting nt the head of a company of which he Is the star, has been a resident of this country since 1854. He was born In York shire In 1827. Mrs, Annie Yeamans was born In 1836 and Henry, Clay Bar nabce In 1833. Mrs, Willlnm O.

Jones, who has been appearing In "The Little Minister" and other plays. Is seventy six, and has been on the stage for sixty six years, Mrs. O. H. CUlbert was eighty five when she died.

Pauline Dejazot, the French actress, was born In Paris in 1789 and died In 1875. Frederick Lemaltre, born In Havre In 1798. made his debut In 1823, and acted for the last time In 1873 when seventy live, after exactly fifty years of pro fexHlonal service. He died In 1870. Prolonged success on the stage Is compatible only with the retention of good health, preserved by regularity of living and the avoidance of excesses.

The aged actor who becomes truly celebrated has pursued even In arduous profession the methods of living which eonduee to longevity. 0 JOHN COSTA III JAIL Leader of the Now Famous Carbon dale Mafia Sentenced to Thirty Years in Italy. MANCULA WAS MUBDERED John Costa, leader of the once famous Carbondale Mafia, has been arrested in Italy and sentenced to spend thirty years in prison for murdering a man in that country before he came to America. This information reached this country through a newspaper published in Italy. The story of Costa's arrest translated into English is as follows: "Tonight the police arrested the criminal, John Costa, who was convicted and given thirty years of solitary confinement for killing years ago his own friend who was working with him.

After the murder years ago Costa skipped to America, coming back a few weeks ago after making his fortune in America. Costa was not aware that the police were still looking for him." The paper which contained the foregoing is published in Palermo, Italy. It has also been learned that Joe Mancula and Prank Pilllcone who were Costa's chief lieutenants in gathering up the money in Carbondale also left the country at the same time as Costa did. After being in Italy for a few days Mancula became involved in a fight and was shot four times in the stomach, dying instantly. Pilllcone is reported to have been in the same town that Mancula was killed in.

The workings of Costa and his gang are well known to all the residents of this county. After he was arrested by the Carbondale police and arraigned before an Alderman he was held un der four thousand dollars ball, the Title Guaranty and Trust company furnishing his bond. Upon being released he went to Brooklyn where he was shot in the leg and taken to a hospital there. When his case was first called for trial it was learned that he was In no condition to be tried and so his case was put over until the next term of criminal court. When he was called at that time he failed to appear and his bond was forfeited.

From what can be learned now he left immediately for his native land where he met his doom. The county through their solicitor, C. C. Donovan, has commenced a suit against the Title Guaranty and Trust company to recover the amount of the bond furnished for Costa which was forfeited by the order of court. Costa is a man well on in years and It is not very likely that he will live out his sentence of thirty years.

in and around Carbondale that Costa made what the Palmero paper termed "his fortune." He extorted money from the Italian residents under the pretext that they were joining a society for the protection of Italian citizens in America. If the money was not forthcoming the Italians who were slow in paying up received letters stating where they should put their money and If they did not do that they would be shot down. This scared a good many of them and In this manner Costa secured a large sum of money. Several other members of that gang were tried and convicted in the Lackawanna county courts and are now serving time in the Eastern penitentiary, their sentences raneing in years from two to seven. ANOTHER.

SUIT CLUB CASE. Tailor Took the Money, But Skipped Before Making the Clothes. O. E. Pecororo was arrested yesterday and brought to Alderman Millar's office for a hearing.

He was charged with having embezzled the sum of twenty eight dollars some time ago and is alleged to have absconded since. The prosecutor is L. S. Sheffield. In his complaint he alleges that he had paid the defendant who conducted a suit club the sum of twenty eight dollars In several payments.

He was supposed to have received a suit of clothing for the money which he paid, but when he came for it he found that the tailor had disappeared. Warrants were issued for the arrest of Pecororo, but it was later found out that the latter had left the city. Yesterday he returned to Scranton and was immediately arrested. After a hearing at the alderman's office he entered bail In the sum of five hundred dollars for his appearance in court. NORTH END.
