Long, Dunmore. BOYCOTT OX MEAT. Decidedly novel was the action of the Central Labor union in placing a boycott on meat. This action was taken at a meeting held on Sunday, as set forth In the news columns of The Republican of yesterday. By resolution formally offered and adopted it was declared to be the sense of the meeting that the members of the local unions should refrain from eating meats until they are reduced to their former reasonable price.

Report has it that enthusiasm was shiwn in the adoption of this report. anougn caned a boycott. It was more than an agreement among the representatives of unions present that in so far as they can they are to abstain from the purchase of meats until there is a drop in the prices of the same, which recently advanced without cause or reason. Barfing an agreement of the packers, which apparently has taken the form of restraint of trade, and which ought to at once receive the attention of the authorities of the country, there does not appear to be the least reason for the recent advance in the prices of meat. There is no scarcity wot aunougn porK, perhaps, is not as plentiful as it was a year ago.

There appears to be as much mutton as there ever was. Nevertheless, the choice cuts of steak have been raised to such a price that they must be considered a luxury, and lamb and pork chop prices have been elevated to such a degree that one thinks about chartering the services of a balloon to reach them. If the government will not act. then the people themselves must find remedy. The only way to do this is to try and get along without meat To a greater or less degree this can be done in all families.

If tried pretty Kenerauy tnrougriout the country the method will be found to be one that will bring the meat packers to their senses. Prices will surely drop when the demand for meat grows less. WAR TALK WAS SILLY. siowiy me people of the United States are learning that recent news paper and semi official utterances rela iv i nun japan were worse than silly, they absolutely had no foun dation in fact. The Japanese had no is on is bly to desire to go to war with us, no disposition to do so, and were not in position for a rupture even had they desired to create one.

Among those who have recently returned from Tokio is former Ambassador Luke Wright. He brands the war talk as "Not even respectable nonsense." Mr. Wright was in Japan as the representative of the United States when the assault was made upon the Japanese In San Francisco and when the Japanese were barred from the schools there. He was also there when the announcement was made that the Atlantic fleet was to be transferred to the Pacific. Naturally, according to Mr.

Wright, Japan was somewhat stirred by the incidents in San Francisco, inasmuch as the action of the school board was regarded in the light of an official procedure. But the prompt action "of the administration apposed Japanese wrath and nicely smoothed over the trouble. Official announcement that the Atlantic fleet was to be transferred to the Pacific did not disturb Japan in the least. It was held that it was tirely natural that the" United States should like to have a strong fighting force in the Pacjtlc where it has so many, important interests. But outside of all other considerations, said Mr.

Wright, Japan does not want to go to war with any nation at this time. The country is burdened with debt, taxation and big problems with regard to Corea and China. In the estimation of Mr. Wright. Japan would sooner go to war with almost any other country than Great Britain or the United States, as she regards both as her friends.

Recently there have been plenty of Indications that Mr. Wright is talking from absolutely correct premises. BLACK HAND VEKY BOLD. Members of the Black Hand were bold indeed when they threatened the life of Bishop McQnaid, of Rochester, unless he paid them five thousand dol lars. The venerable bishop has been the head of the Catholic diocese of Rochester for nearly forty years.

Noth ing done by him was responsible for this daring act on the part of the Black Hand. On the contrary he has won the respect of all classes of people in Rochester, by his piety, charity and his gentle heart. Even these qualities did not free him from the persecutions of the members of this murderous society. Letters containing the threats against the life of the bishop have been turned over to the police, but no clue to the writers has yet been obtained. It is to be hoped that the authors of the out rage will be traced and properly pun lshed.

There is no room for the Black Hand in America. That has been proven in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties. But when they attempt to add bishops to their list of victims their effrontery has gone beyond all bounds and all the power of the gov ernment should be exerted to trace them out and to send them to jail. TARIFF AXD THE CVKREXCY. President Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia University, has sounded note of warning against Republican over confidence in the coining elections.

Many are saying that it is good advice that ought to be heeded. In the opinion of President Butler there is need of more constructive legislation, that the Republican party must heed the demand of the people. The advice with regard to constructive legislation and heeding the demands of the people is all right, but is the Republican party in need of it? Or, rather, does the Republican party deserve the implied criticism contained in President Butler's remark? What party other than the Republican has given heed to the demands of the people during the past forty or fifty years? What party other than the Republican has passed constructive legislation of any kind, beyond a few abortive attempts made by the Democracy, when briefly clothed with authority, to overturn something that the Republicans had done to show the people that the latter were in the wrong? But it would seem that President Butler has especial reference to the need or a revision or tariff schedules and the establishment of a new cu: rency system. With regard to th tariff he is both right and wrong. He is right in saying that there is need of certain revision.

The leaders among Republicans make no denial of that fact. It is generally admitted. But he wrong in clamoring for it at this time and in putting it forward as pressing necessity. It is not. To date no one has been badly hurt by the tariff.

In the future, with constantly changing conditions, it will work rank injustice for some one. The policy of the Republican party is first to elect a Republican president and congress and then to have the tariff revised in the house of its friends. President Butler is on safer ground, saner ground, in his criticism of the currency system. Men who are ex perts on this subject and who handle the question with understanding say that there is no reason to longer continue a system that was adopted as a war measure forty five years ago, when the material for its execution no longer forthcoming. It is said that the principle Is false and that there is no opportunity for expansion.

Whether this is true or not will proba te decided at the coming meeting at Atlantic City of the American Banking asslciation. which will probably make congress some Important recommendation on this subject. This is the period when world's rec ords count for little. Two relating to Ethletic events were shattered at Jamestown on Saturday. It Is notice able that each year more Interest is being taken in events given under the auspices of the Amateur Athletic union.

The pottsville Miner's Journal com plains that It is about time that jurors in Schuylkill county got out of the rut of finding verdicts of "Not guilty but pay the costs." It is true that the practice 'is onen to abuse, but in general it is a form of compromise that is productive of much good. Allentown has undertaken the ex periment of sprinkling crude oir on the streets to settle the dust question for all time. To date it has occasioned a great many protests. The odors that arise from the streets are described as sickening and it is contended that they extend to the foods used. There is a of Mr.

THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 24, 1907. strong probability that crudo oil for sprinkling purposes will have a short lease of life in Allentown. At last Wilkes Barre has found something to rejoice over In a baseball way. Scranton was beaten out of a baseball championship by a close margin.

The joy felt In Wllkes Barre is too apparent to be concealed. PORCHES OX PAVES. Scranton's troubles with violation of the reservation clauses in deeds are recalled by the experience that Ashland is having with an old ordinance' that permits the erection of porches on five feet of the pavement. Business men are now moving for the repeal of this ordinance, urging with reason that the practice not only spoils the appearance of the streets, but that the porches are needless obstructions that should be prohibited. All sorts of troubles are threatened in case the ordinance is repealed.

Property owners say that rather than remove their porches they will carry the matter into court. It is feared that if this is done the decision will be that inasmuch as the purches were extended with the permission of the borough the owners cannot be compelled to remove them. The cause of Ashland's troubles is that in their anxiety to take advantage of all the land that they have the owners of property built directly on the building line, leaving no room for either porch or lawn. It Is now realiz ed that this was a bit of folly that makes such properties of less value than they would be if there was suffi cient room in front to add to the beauty of the homes. Thanks to early officials of companies owning land in and about Scranton, we escaped making a blunder of the kind, but have had most serious difficulties with a class of people who have sought to make the term bay window cover almost every front extension that can be placed on a building.

The festive toadstool still figures in the news. One of the strange things in nature is the close resemblance that the toadstool bears to the delicious mushroom. That there is a marked difference, when it comes to eating them can be proved by the five board ers in a Carbondale house who found themselves on the threshhold of the other world after trying a toadstool diet. TRIBUTE TO A MIRTH MAKER. There is a prospect that a monu ment will be erected to Edgar W.

Nye, the late humorist, whose reputation under the name of "Bill Nye" reached across the world. The monument Is to be erected in Laramie, and the funds are being raised by the American Press Humorlsits. Monuments have been erected to far ess worthy personages than the gentle weaver of a fabric of mirth which dded to the world's lightness of heart. More than one man's name has 'been carved on a massive memorial, when life he had beena tyrant whose career had led through the blood and tears of thousands. Not often has the world bethought Itself to place in enduring stone the memory of one who made the people laugh instead of weep.

It may not be such fame as awaits the one who writes a great book, who bestows noble gifts upon the poor, or who performs knightly deeds for his country, but it is the fame that gladdens life, that has left smiles along its trail. It is a kindly, pleasant fame, and has its place ih a world which is sad enough and bad enough to need it. "Tom" Johnson has been nominated as mayor of Cleveland for the third time. The country may now discover whether three cent street car fares are a real issue or only a campaign incidental. There appears to be a great disagree ment of doctors over the condition of Grover Cleveland.

Enough has de veloped, however, to convince the aver age man that his condition is critical. President Roosevelt's message to congress is said to be ready for transmission. It is certain to be an inter esting state paper, that the public will await with Interest. Now that the baseball season has ended people will begin to notice the college boys with extraordinarily long hair. India is said to be feeling blue.

Savage's English Grand Opera company, producing Puccini's famous grand opera, "Madam Butterfly," will visit Scranton early next month, was verified yesterday, when General Representative Frank C. Payne arrived to make the preliminary arrangements for the big company and orchestra. He came here direct from Los Angeles. where he had a most enjoyable visit with John H. Blackwood, formerly of this city, "Madam was the most tulked about operatic success in the country last year, Mr.

Savage Imported the fascinating work from Europe, after it had been the reigning success for two seasons at Covent Garden, London, La Scala, Milan, and at the royal opera In other continental capitals. Mr. Payne stopped in this city on his way to New York, after a flying trip to the Pacific coast, where the company will be sent Immediately following Its second New York engage ment at the Garden theater. He found music lovers and theater goers gener ally so enthusiastic over the oppor tunity to hear the Japanese master piece, that he arranged to give Scran ton two performances, matinee and night, on Friday, Oct. 11 Mr.

Savage has imported a number of new artists for this year's organl zatlon," said Mr. Payne, "and the company, as a whole, will be even stronger than last year. Among tlie leading prima donnos will be Rena Vlvlenne, who made a sensational success as "Little Madam Butterfly" last year, together with Febea Strakosch, the gifted niece of Adeltna Pattl, who has enjoyed remarkable success in Europe in the past seven years; Betty Wolf, from the German Royal Opera house Harriet Behnee, from Berlin; Dora de Fillippe and Ethel Houston, from fans. Lieutenant John Davis, of the West Side precinct, yesterday received the congratulations of his nuraetous friends throughout the city on the oc casion of his sixtieth birthday anni versary, when a reporter called upon hint this morning for late news he was still at the old stand and enjoy ing himself. For a man who has spent most of his life in the police depart ment and who has combined with his police experiences those of Civil war life and that of a Western cowboy.

Lieutenant Davis preserves his strength in a wonderful manner. He can run and tussle with many larger and apparently stronger men, but even at that he confesses that he feels him self getting older. An example of the sociability of wo men as compared with ihat exhibited by men was had on a Wes Side car ytfterday. was in one of those cioscd cars, with seats that are made for two. Among the passengers was a lady who was traveling alone and who enjoyed tho full possession of the entire seat.

At one of the stops another lady got aboard and noticing that the seat be side the first was unoccupied, she said, "Pardon me." and several other things. ana sanK into the soft plush. Five minutes later they were chirD ing like a sewing circle, working on lull time, und they looked as if they had attended the same eucher party tor a tnousand years. "Did it ever occur to you," remarked the observing conductor, "how much more sociable women are than men?" "I can say that it has," answered the gentleman on the platform. Those two women," responded the conductor, "met for the first time less than ten minutes ago, and yet they already know the history, of each other's lives, and how many prizes they won at eucher.

Two men would have ridden a thousand miles with out saying a word to each other." BURGLARS IN AVOCA. oecured a Diamond Ring and Other Jewelry, Early Sunday morning burglars gained an entrance to the Webster residence on Main street, Avoca, and entered the room where Mr. Webster was sleeping and secured 'a valuable diamond ring from Webster's pocket. They also entered the Sanders resi dence, a few doors away, but all they secured was a child's bank, containing about 2. Useless.

An Irishman had just landed and was walking along, when he was accosted by a barker for a trunk store. "Don't you want to buy a trunk?" he asked. "What for?" asked the new arrival. "To put your clothes in," answered the barker, with wisdom. "What! and go naked?" OBITUARY.

Mrs. Minerva Hobbs, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Henrietta Felts, at Clifford, on Saturday, September 14, 1907, aged eighty two years, five months and thirteen days. Death was due to falling down the stairs, as she was descending about three weeks before. Owing to her ad vanced years, the shock was greater than her nervous system could with stand, consequently she gradually failed with much suffering until death gave relief.

The funeral services were conducted at the residence on Tuesday the 18th Inst at 1 p. m. Rev. J. Wal lace Young, of Albany, N.

Lyreuni'i Straus Vaudeville BUI. Klaw and Erlanger kept faith with the people pf Scranton In the vaudeville bill that they yesterday produced i me Lyceum theater. An overflow enthusiasm.

It Is an all star Derform anee, but some of the acts are better xnan the others as a matter of course. The wonder features are many and In ill fairness It must be said that. they ore notable. The entertainment will continue at the Lyceum, afternoon and evening, lor the balance of the week and it should draw crowded houses at every performance.

Bryan, who Is Just about to conclude one of his notable speeches. Then comes a representation of 'Tncle" Joe Cannon, which Is one of the best things that Mr. Lee does. His characterisation ot orant shows that successful soldier in th.6 act of penning his famous dls paten to Lincoln. "I will fight It out along this line if It takes all summer.

Joe elch, the celebrated Hebrew character artist, for many years the star of The Peddler." was encored and re encored. Apparently the audience could not get too much of his clever work.

His act is as refined as it is effective. Then there are the Mnnnt kins, which, in the way of a mechanical act. is truly a marvel. It must be seen to be fully appreciated. It depicts a I mlnlatun stage with boxes in which I iwyauy appiauus witn vigor and en musinsm.

wauei cmncers and pony ballets aprear and go through their animals add to the merriment, a raalnme nmuslng features, and clowns disport upon the stage. This Is a very strong act for children but adults are Interested be cause of the great cleverness displayed in tne manipulation of the figures. Then there Is the Florens family of acrobats. It would be hard to provide a Better, niore graceful and more re fined act of the kind. There are ten of the family, three women, or rather two women and a girl, six men and a boy, The oldest member of the family clowns the act and does just enough iunny business to preserve the proper effect.

The family appears In evening garb and performs some exceedingly difficult stunts. These are the great features. But there are others. Rawson and June, Australian boomerang throwers per; form a wonder act, and Wlllnrd. Bond Co.

present a screaming farce called "The Battle of Bunco Hill." Miss Josephine Alnsley. who Is an exoeed lngly pretty and shapely woman, sings several popular song, with good effect and tht animated pictures depict a hippopotamus hunt, ns well as the thrilling experiences of a near sighted bicyclist. The show runs long and the patron of the house is given a great ueai ror ins money. Big BUI at Poll'a. Decidedly Interesting, remarkably well balanced and put on in an able and effective manner is the great bill that opened at Poll's new theater, yes terday atternoon, for the week, the fourth of vaudeville in the popular tneater.

it Is one grand round of fun and laughter. Direct from Keith's Philadelphia theater, the act of the great English Btar, William Hawtrey and company, "Compromised," is all that has been jr011''sed and nothing in the sketch line has the action been more swift, convincing and fascinating. It is truly a wondrous act. The story is' that of a young woman witn a brutal husband, whom she sup poses killed in a railroad wreck. She marries for the second time and is living happily when husband No.

1 appears on the scene and endeavors to blackmail her. A burglar happens to oe in tne house at the time and ho conveniently kills the first hnshsnd. una 80 enables her to retain her secret Mr. Hawtrey. as the brutal husband, was a revelation to the big audiences in attendance yesterday afternoon and evening, while the work of Miss Lucille Marvlog, as Katherine Durand, was strong and convincing.

The company received more than half a dozen cur tain calls at each performance. La een and Cross appear In Roman sports and pastimes and the act is a remarkably clevei one, which takes well with the Jack Gardner, "The Man ith tho Horn," has a number of songs that are entirely original, and he sings them well. He made a real hit with yesterday's audiences, and his will be one of the popular number on the bill throughout the week. The McKenzle Shannon company In A Shine Flirtation," have a clever little act which gives them scope for some excellent singing. Both Miss Mc Kensie and Mr.

Shannon, have excellent voices, and their number lends color to the whole bill. Russell Held In "The Dancer and the Lady Magnetic." are a team who sprang Into popular favor from the time they appeared on the stage, yesterday. They are a singing and dancing team, and Miss Held Is an at tractive and winsome young woman, who sings and dances cleverly, while Mr. Russell has a number of new steps in the dancing line. The gowns worn by Miss Held proves a great relevation to the many women at both perform ances.

Everyone laughs at Howard North In their "Those Were Happy Days," an4 with reason, for It is an exceedingly humorous number. From the time they appear until they leave the stage, there Is not a dull moment. Of the act In Morocco, too much could not be said In its praise. There are fourteen persons in the act, in cluding Princess La I la, a real Morocco princess, and it was one vivid and realistic picture of dancing, drilling and tumbling. It appears on the bill a Moorish Acrobatic novelty, and It all that and more.

The views from the electrograph are decidedly amusing, particularly "The Disintegrated Convict," which portrays a number of Illusive situations. The Great "Ben Hnr." Sacred history properly dramatized miifit neresHArllv he nt front honoflt who give it attention, for where one person will acquire knowledge by reading, ninety nine or more are willing to study with the eye and ear combined, and will retain the instruction thus received more vividly than from the written pages.

The series of world pictures pertaining Christ's life are most ably selected the dramatist, Mr." William Toung, but the stage version Is by no means picture of the life of the Redeemer.

A erltio of note has said, "A great historical romance Is not to" be made with refer ence to the square and compass. It must be a vivid historical impression, and at the same time a wisely con sidered story of life." These two con dltlons are admirably fulfilled in "Ben Ilur." "Ben Hur" Is a spectacular re llgious romance, with scenery of th highest conception of beauty and mag nificence, and music that is appropriate nd of a high order, supplied by Edgn Stillman Kelley. Art and 'invention joined hands to make the production marvel of the stage.

"Her Fntal I.ove." "Some "mushy" individual said that 'love made the world go around." The smart Alecx remarked that "fanilly Jnrs were probably responsible for all the earthquakes. "Her Fatal Ixvc' Is raising all over the country." You will have an opportunity to know fur ther particulars when you visit the Academy this week. Messrs.

The programme opens with a comic musical travesty called. "Americans Abroad," which serves to Introduce the entire com pany. "Americans Abroad" Is a well written farce, and is full of snap and brilliant dialogue, songs of the times and fun of recent Issue.
