Surveyor Arthur Long, Dunmore. Will Vote On Pave Plan Tuesday On Tuesday of this week the paving plan now under consideration will be voted on by the people. On that day it will either be accepted or rejected, the indications being that it will be adopted by a large majority. Scranton cannot stand still for long without injuring its prospects, without dealing a death blow to its business interests, to its opportunities to develop. The paving plan has its drawbacks, that is admitted.

It will each year impose a little extra tax on every man. But it will have its compensations, it will bring us better streets, end a cleaner and far more attractive city. It will cause people to compliment us where they now criticize and condemn us. No longer will be heard the remark that the, streets of Scranton are notoriously bad and a millstone about its neck, to use a figurative term. A regrettable feature of the campaign is tha the men who are opposing the paving measure will not fight fair.

Reason will not serve them, in some instances the truth will do them injury, will convince the voters that they ought to give the plan their endorsement. Therefore they are misrepresenting the sufficiency of the pave that it is proposed to lay, and its cost. They are appealing to passion and prejudice and suggesting that the expenditure of so large a sum of money will give wide latitude for graft. chnnlH not he necessary to say 4,, .1,1. is unworthy of consideration.

To allege grau ueioie a dollar has been appropriated is to that cannot oc cur under healthy conditions of ordin ary vigilance. The fact that some thing of the kind has been so often in sinuated will be enough to keep people on the lookout for it and that will mean that there will be nothing of the kind. Gentlemen, fight fair. Let it be a fair field ar.d no favor. And when you are defeated by the overwhelming sen timent favor of better streets, which an absolute necessity, take your defeat giacofully and extend the olive Di'Mich of peace Unsettled Stock Market.

No less un authority than Henry C.ews is refponsible ti the statement tuat the stock market has been unset tlsd conflicting conditions. He says that downward reactions are followed by fair recoveries, owing to the fact that security values are upon a. relatively low lave' and often show attractive r' urns at current quotations. There 1 an absence of buying power, however; also, a lack of general confidence, whir.it prevents any sustained rise. The rer.sons for this state of uncertainty are several, chief cf them be ing the tu.eeUsractory monetary and crop prospects.

Abroad tJr wen? also somewhat uniHtiefawtery owing to the great daumad fw new. capital and an ticipation of commercial reaction. The situation there was somewhat complicated by the Parisian demand for gold, which was probably the result of preparations for financing Russian requirements. Thus far 512,400,000 of gold' have been exported from this side. Secretary Cortelyou decision to withdraw about 130,000,000 from depositary banks also had a temporarily stiffening effect upon money lates, although the bulk of this sum will soon be paid out again by the treasury for bond redemptions and other purposes.

Concerning the cror outlook, the news is not particularly satisfactory. Our weather continues cold and wet for the season over a very large section of country. All the crops are backward. The reports as to damage have been exaggerated for speculative effect, but good weather will be imperative during the balance of the season to secure a fair crop. Coal in Pennsylvania.

Of great interest to Scranton and vicinity is the announcement that this state's production of anthracite coal in 1906 fell short of the production in 1905 by 5,694,143 long tons, the value decreasing a little less than $10,000,000. According to the report of the production of anthracite in Pennsylvania during 1906, prepared by William R. Ruley for the United States geological survey, this production amounted to but 63,645,010 long tons, having a total value at the mines of $131,917,639. It is easy to account for this falling off in tonnage. The weather conditions during the winter of 1904 03 were such as to drain heavily on the accu mulated stocks of anthracite, and the demand during the first three months of 1905 was unusually large.

The depleted stocks naturally stimulated production, and further stimulation was added by the fear of a strike and by the termination of the three years agreement on April 1, 1906. The winter of 1905 06, on the other hand, was exceptionally mild, and the large stocks which had been accumu ated in anticipation of a strike were not so heavily drawn upon as had btvn expected. The first of April therefore found a large stock of coal in first hand as well as in the cellars of consumers. The general opinion during the spring of 1906 that should a prolonged strike not occur, these unconsumed stocks would act as a drug on the market for the entire year and there would be little chance of a satisfactory demand until cold weather. At the time this seemed to be a reasonable explanation of conditions, nevertheless the outcome was surprising to the trade.

The suspension of mining which began on Apa 1 and iMica untu Jimy 16 iuia a loss in tonnage of about 7,500,000 long tons. Fart of this loss had been anticipated by the increased production during the latter part of 1905 and the first three months of 1906. From the time ining was resumed on May 16 to the close of the year, the shipments averaged about the same as in 1905. It is interesting to note that of the total quantity shipped during lavo, long tons were reclaimed from old culm banks. Both the amount of this recovery from the culm banks and the percentage that it bears to the total shipment were larger in 1906 than in any previous year.

Nearly all of this is, of course, small sized coal used for steam purposes, but this recovery from old culm banks is exert hie influence on the total production in 1906 to nearly 7 per cent, or tne touu iuV ment. The average values per ton of coal have not varied materially during the past three years owing to the close control of anthracite and regulations fixing the price. In 1904 the average price per ton at the mines was in 1905, $2.23, and in 1906, $2.30, these variations being due largely to the varying percentage of small and large sizes sold. In 1903, after the strike, the average price per ton at the mines was $2.50. It should be remembered that the value includes not only the prepared sizes wtth which householders are fa miliar, such as nut, egg, stove, and which are sold at much higher rates, but also such sizes as buckwheat.

rice, barley, some of which are sold considerably below the actual cost of mining. A Democratic paper remarks on the presidential situation that the south will be reasonably safe no mat ter who is nominated. Also unreasonably safe for anything labeled Democratic. Political discrimination in that section has long been unknown, and the vote cast has dwindled accordingly. The railroads of Nebraska have fused in an attempt to dehorn the two cent passenger rate law, on the ground that it is repugnant to the con stitution.

Ia the minds of the cor poration lawyers this old fabric was never Intended to perform any sort of in behalf of the common people. A Virginia paper thinks negro labor In that state will be succeeded by a "white peasantry." Details will be in vestigated as soon as a white peasant in the United States can be located.

Civil Service and Police. Allen town is railing at the inefficiency of its police force, basing its remarks on the failure to arrest the incendiaries who about a week aso set fire to several bir business places in the heart of the town. Blame for the inefficiency of the police is placed on the frequent changes on the force. According to the Chronicle and News the failure of the officers to run clown the Incendiaries "emphasizes the need of civil service in the police force." The Chronicle continues: "The absurdity of changing police forces es'ery three years is again being demonstrated." Amen! But'why make such changes? Let the public frown severely on such a custom and it will be stopped. Acts of the legislature and ordinances by councils are not really needed to force the politicians to keep their hands off the police, so far as frequent changes are concerned.

Long before there was serious effort at police civil service here incoming administrations began to make few changes among policemen. Only men who made themselves offensive by political activity were compelled to go. That much deference was paid public sentiment and the city's need of the most efficient police system that it could get. Let Allentown do likewise, it will find the change agreeable. The Advantages of the Tropics.

Even if the seasons are changing, and we are to have cold summers we are not as those who live without hope. Colonel Gorgas, who has done so much cleaning up in the Panama belt, made an address at Cornell the other day in which he declared that man has obtained the upper hand of yellow fever, the mosquito and consequently of malaria, to such a degree that the tropical regions are now becoming as adaptable and as healthful for the Anglo Saxon as the temperate zones, and that as a consequence tropical countries, offering greater return for man's labor, will be settled by the white races and again become the centers of wealth, population and civilization, as they were in the dawn of the world's history. As Colonel Gorgas gives us two centuries to make this change the advantages may seem a little remote to some of us, yet we shall take more interest hereafter in orange groves and Mexican mining camps. The opportunities fhatr nfiFnA judgment the riches of anthracite mines, and who knows that the day may not dawn in this life when we can sit through a speech of President Roosevelt's advocating federal control of our eastern mines without chills running up and down our spines and without placing our hands over our ears in horror? With the equnimity born of the prospect of spending a comfortable old age in the tropics we can contemplate the extinction of hard coal and city steam through the chilly Junes of this latitude. San Francisco finds that grafters are harder to handle than the results of an earthquake and conflagration.

It should remember that Tweed was put in stripes at last, and that perseverance pays. a When forty tons of powder blew up in New Jersey recently an impression spread that the farmers were making a few remarks about the backwardness of the weather. Conundrum: If two cents more of cotton and two cents more of wages are put into a shirt, why is the price of the garment marked up twenty five cents? In all directions Chili is traversed by a chain of volcanoes. Chili would be a great training ground before a tackle with a strenuous antagonist.

The Wnonoses were not named at ran dom. Outside of Mr. Bryan, the best Democrat can hope for is to be men tioned for the presidency.

The meat trust's airship is throwing out a lot of ballast, but is likely to land with a bump. in a controversy among the natur alists reason has a hotter time than instinct. i Wayfarer's Scranton will on Tuesday of this week have chance to measure up to the standards set by other cities. It will vote on the pave matter and show whether or not it is as much in favor of necessary street improvements as it has all along been contending that it is. If the vote on the pave is negative then it can readily be seen that this city has to some degree outlived its real progressive days and that our people are willing to go along in the mud 'and to be content with the inconveniences that have become a part of our daily life.

I have come to the conclusion that this is a poor'city for a baseball team that is not always at the head of the heap. Scranton this season is not at the head and it has forgotten the injunction, "If you can't boost, don't knock." There has been no opportunity to boost and the amount of knocking that is being done is considerable. However, the Wayfarer is confident that Owners Barnes and Coleman and. Manager Ramsey may be depended on to provide a winning aggregation. A few more days will show whether or not the present team will do.

If it will not it will be in order to get a nine that can play ball up to the required standard, even if it will become necessary to sacrifice several hundred dollars for this purpose. "Someone ought to write an article upon 'The Moral Influence of the Teddy commented the woman who studies psychological effects; "for I am sure," she continued, "that in future years it will be found that the fuzzy, stupid, stuffed animal has had as permanent an effect upon the manners and morals of our age as pretty nearly any other factor you can mention. Go into our homes those of luxury and those of poverty and you will see that the Teddy Bear has completely supplanted all the other childish pets birds, dogs or dolls; that father and mother, and brother and sister, and nurse and governess bow in subjection to the horrid little beast. Children carry them in the cars; grown up people don't seem to think it demeans their dignity to be seen snuggling them under their arms, and I even saw a devoted lover once come into a hall full of people, who were brilliantly gowned in evening dress, clasping a big Teddy Bear to his immaculate shirt front. It afterward transpired that the Teddy had been purchased at a bazaar, to be brought home to a little niece afflicted with Teddy Bear mania, but think of the utter foolishness of the scene!" "We have grown accustomed to seeing women wash their collars and veils in the waiting rooms and appropriate the magazines, soap and other things, provided for the comfort of patrons," said the caretaker of a waiting room in one of the large department stores recently, "but this is the first time I ever noticed anybody washing samples of goods.

The woman who washed the samples did not seem to give any thought to the fact that she inline. way. of other when she had finished, she announced that the goods were bargains. "What's all the row about?" the hungry man queried as the manager of the restaurant was seen to rush excitedly to the cashier's desk and de tain a departing individual. The waiter explained.

For a month past some of the numbered checks had been missing, and it had been discovered that certain patrons were economizing at the expense of the management. A man would order fifteen cents worth and receive a check for the amount. Then he would secrete the check when the waiter wasn't looking and order a quarter's worth more of eatables. The waiter would then give a check for forty cents, but when it came time to pay the customer would use the fifteen cent ticket to get by the door. "H'm," muttered the hungry man; "fine scheme," and in the excitement he passed a Canadian dime on the An amusing encounter took place in a recent rainstorm between a careful conductor and a young woman passenger.

It was night and there had been many vexations and traffic was slow. The car, which was bound for Providence, was 'stopped and ordered to proceed up Spruce to relieve some trouble. The passengers, a few women, were asked to take the next car. It was pouring, and instead of filing out the rear dooor the women scattered in both directions. The conduc tor pitied them and brought all his patience to bear.

Ho called out, "This way, this way, ana siartea ior me front door to try to turn a heedless young woman back. Ho touched her on the arm. "Rear door, please," he said. She kept right one. He was very firm, but pleasant.

"Rear door, Miss." Then the young woman ex plained, saying. "But I get out here I don't want to go any farther." Has a cat more than nine lives? This question is causing loss of sleep to the men employed at a local power house. They believe that the little black cat which sauntered Into the station some months ago and was tenderly cared for by them has at least ninefv nine lives. About three eeks ago this little feline was miss ing. After a search of the premises the men gave it up as lost.

Dun the past week repairs were required, and among a network of live wires that cover the joists in the roof of the building, to the surprise of the workmen, their little friend, the cat, was found. She was in a dazed con dition, but tender hands lifted her up and found her body a mass of scars and burns. The only solution of the problem of the disappearance is that in giving chase to a mouse the kitten became wedged between the wires, and each time she made an effort to get out, coming in contact with one of the wires, 2,300 volts of electricity were sent coursing through her body. Just how many times she had received this current is not known, but the cat still lives. Unconcealable Derision.

Francis Wilson tells of an encounter of wits that took place between the late Eugene Field and a New York woman. It was at dinner, and the woman was in evening dress, which was rather decollete, says Lippincott's Magazine. After a skirmish between the two relative to the respective merits of a wellknown author, it would seem that Field came off second best. "Oh, Mr. Field," exclaimed the woman exultingly, "you must admit that you are fairly beaten at your own game!" Field bowed politely, and with a smile promptly rejoined: "At any rate.

Miss Blank, I have one consolation you can't laugh at me in your Philadelphia Record. I1II8 IB Make It a rule to get along with people," was the advice offered by Paul Morton, ex Secretary of the navy, to the graduating class at Steven's institute last week. That bit of logic should be indented upon the skull not only of young men who are to be the engineers of the future, but also on the skulls of other people. It is not at all a trivial idea. Instead it Is rather more Important than anything that has been said to graduates at college and university this year, and as far as real advice goes, can be made of more value to the person choosing a career than most of the principles popularly supposed to be indispensible.

It is an unusual accomplishment, this ability to get along with people and those who possess it scarcely realize what an advantage they hold over the majority of their fellows. But it includes so many other qualities that when a pprson really ts accomplished in this ability he has acquired several others, any one of which would be valuable. The man who gets along with people, has to possess a great amount of self control. He must be able to preserve silence sometimes when he would choose to be quarrelsome or at least argumentative. He must withhold his hand when It would strike, as well as his tongue when it would be bitter or sarcastic or severe.

Then he must have patience. He must look with a humorous forbearance on the fallings of his associates, and must forget the times when they were nagging and disagreeable. He must be tactful. He must be willing to offend the humble as well as the great. He must be kind at heart.

A man lost the opportunity of a life time for a fine position the other day one for which he was entirely qualified, hut his late employer was obliged to answer truthfully when questioned by the one who desired his services. "No, I am sorry to say he does not get on very well with the other fellows. He is over critical, over fussy. He is so conscientious about his own work that he makes it his business to create a disturbance with the others because they do not meet his ideals In the way they do things." "I don't want him," said the other with finality. "I need a man with just such capabilities as his, but have just made a change because the one I had in this confidential position was always in a ruction with somebody.

the kind who proceeds to give lessons in bridge at parties and the hostesses gradually find her unpopular. She is the one who is always on the other side of an argument, just from natural antagonism to people, not because of any individual dislike nor prejudice against the theme. She is the one who tells you how unfortunate it Is that the hats this year do not seem to be your, style; who assured you that your husband is in error on the pave question and that your boy has a look around the chin like Harry Orchard. She is the one who is always changing housemaids and who finds every groceryman cheats her. She knows the man at the meat market discriminates against her (and doubtless he does, with good reason) and she has her suspicions about the real othodoxy of the new preacher, whom she has taken care to warn certain persons in his parish.

She is the one who can never hear any person spoken about without making a shary little comment of disparagement and who has so many complaints to relate about her own ills and bad luck that she wearies even those who do know her good qualities. She' disagrees with the neighbors about their cats, dogs and children. She has trouble with her ashman, her gardener, her laundress. She makes much of trifles and wearies even the long suffering of those who do care about her and value her good traits.

NEW YORK, June 15. Dullness and heaviness were again today me tudi acteristic features of the security market. The dealings in stocks were small even for a half day's business, and up to the time of the appearance of the weekly bank statement changes in prices were insignificant, and the activity of the market at a low ebb. After this pressure upon the market increased and declines running to a point in some of the active stocks neie established. The fall was hardly due in t.

The loss in cash sustained by the clearing house banks during the week was $2,683,000, a little more than was estimated yesterday, ah signs ponn, of course, to a further money loss by the banks next week, owing to gold exports. Sterling in Paris today showed no rallying power, and in this the market maintained its recent high level, and in hanking circles it was considered a foregone conclusion that unless there was some striking change In the situation exports of a considerably additional quantity of gold will he made on the earliest available steamer. The demand of prices for gold is just now the one salient factor in the international financial markets. Efforts are not wanting on the part of the speculators for the decline to make it appear that this indrawlng ot money by Paris is due to fears entertained in France of some untoward financial.

exigency, but leading bankers here declare that no grounds for these allegations exist. The bank of France advanced money freely to the rest of the world all during the winter months, and is now anxious to build up its gold reserve.
