The Tribune from Scranton, Pennsylvania • Page 2

THE REPORTER'S PAD. i Max Fircstein. the affable constable of Alderman Kasson's who was reported arrested the other day at the instance of a Washington avenue laundryman on a charge of larceny, i3 after the man who started the story with various implements of warfare and blood in his eye. The statement came through a misunderstanding, the constable simply acting in an official capacity in the Smyth matter. There is a picture hanging over Assistant Controller Hartley's desk at the municipal building that is not only interesting to look at.

but it has history that is far more so. It is' a larsre steel engraving entitled "The Old Shoemaker," the paper is stained in one or two places with age, and the frame shows the wear and tear of time, The composition shows a pretty young woman seated in a shoemaker shop, and the shoemaker, an old man, is on his knees taking the measure of one of her feet. The dress skirt is raised a little giving an attractive glimpse of drapery. Looking in at a side win dow is a soldier, and from his expres sion it is easy to read, that he envies the old man this job. The picture belongs to City Treas urer Robinson.

When he was controller he had it placed In his present posi tion, and whether he will take it with htm when he retires, from office when ever that may be, or leave it as i memory, is one of the things that is often discussed in the controller's of fice. Beyond all this, however, comes the historical interest possessed by the engraving. Some years ago when Mr. Robinson was in Europe on a tour. it was presented him by the burge master of a small hamlet in which he passed several weeks, as an expression of the friendship that had sprung up between the two.

Mr. Robinson was introduced to the head official of the place by a citizen to whom he had letters of introduction, and finding the burgomaster was deeply interested in American affairs, used to drop in on him and tell him of things on this side. When Mr. Robinson left he was given "The Old Shoemaker" that was regarded by the people there as a choice work of art. During Mr.

Robinson's term as con troller he was surprised one day by a call from his friend, the burgo master, who was visiting this country. The latter was in Scranton some days, and it is not long ago but what Mr. Robinson's acquaintances can remem ber the elegant entertainment given the stranger. The picture was hang ing as it is now, and it was no small source of gratification to the burgomaster to see his gift occupying so prominent a place. H.

F. Vaughan, the IS year old son of Select Councilman D. W. Vaughan, was one of the HQ boys who on the Pennsylvania nautical school ship "Saratoga" last week for the West Indian waters. The medical inspector declared young Vaughan to be a "regular giant" and perfect in physique.

He will be remembered as a prominent member of the High school football team. SHE TOOK TO I5ED. Mrs. May's Tncllcs with tho Deteo tives Failed. Whtn the agents of the Municipal league approached the residence of Mrs.

May on Jefferson avenue and Larch street yesterday she became suspicious and derided that diplomacy was in order. She had a suspicion that she was to be arrested for selling without a license and thought that she could make her position impregnable by going to bed. She went. When Mr. Wilson entered the house he was told that Mrs.

May was sick in bed. He sympathized with her, but could not help being suspicious and a medical man was summoned who pronounced her quite to go to the adlerman's oliice. Mrs. May differed and it was not until she had resisted most vigorously that she was placed in a cab and taken before Alderman Millar, who fined her $10 or 20 days in jail for resisting arrest. linrboui' Vim Brunt, The marriage of Miss Sarah J.

LATEST MARKET REPORTS Sew York Stock Market. NEW YORK. Feb. 10. The declining tendency of to day's stock market was probablv owing most directly to the same Causes which contributed to erratic movements.

The market was en tirelv wantlna in vesterday occasional spasmodic rallies, to day occasional recoveries beinK exceedingly feeble. The dealings continued active and well diversi fied, and the general selling or prices was fairin uniform one. The causes re ferred to as Instrumental in both yester day's and to day markets were tne increased discussion regarding the retalia. in tariff nollrv nf tha Russian govern ment andAthe wider recognition of the gravity of that incident, tne mcreaseu concern as to the future' of the money market, the uncertainty as to tne upsnot ff nmiile'nmation and the apprehen sions that the threatened labor troubles in the anthracite regions mignt oecome widespread. In addition, local professional sentiment was again unfavorably influenced by the nf th.

T.nnri market for Amer ican stocks, a depression in prices there being followed up by moderate selling orders here, which, while in small volume received some attention by reason of the tendencies of th? local market. The day's actual developments of novelty were very few. aside from the tramc returns suu mitri whinh wViiio vepedinelv favor able. received little or no attention in view of the general condition oi tne tpecuic tlvn Kentiment The traffic returns were exceedingly favorable nartieularlv as regarded the Southern roads. Lake Shore and St.

Paul. Definite information in regard to announcement of the details of the amalga mation of the steel industrial properties was again wanting, but those stocks retained the general characteristic which marked the dealings yesterday; tnai ism say, the common stock, continued under pressure, while the preferred issues were firm. At the same time the movements in both classes were more restricted than thev were then. National Tube corr'jion. indeed, scored quite a sharp rise on generally credited reports that that stock would be taken into the combination on an exceptionally high valuation.

According ao ohter reports current to the next most favored Dronertv in the new deal would be American Bridge. The dealings in this stock, however. In. the curb market, did not tend to confirm the rumors In question. Apart from National Tube, the feature of the industrial quarter of the market was Sugar Refining.

There was a very rapid advance in the stock in the forenoon, which was not, however, retained with the course of the day's dealings. The range of yesterday's prices for the active stocks the New York stock market are given below. The quotations are furnished The Republican by Murphy 618 619 Connell Building, E. A. Roper, Open.

Mr. Kaneko, a graduate of Harvard of the class of '83, who came over in 1889 to receive a degree of doctor of laws from his Alma Mater, has been made a baron by the mikado and appointed minister of justice in the cabinet of Japan." The visit of President Diaz to Europe may last the entire two years for which he has been given leave of absence. It will be the first time he has left the country for more than a few days since he was elected to office In 1876. One of the prime motives of his trip is his desire to look personally after his European investments. Mr.

George Grossmith gives a description of Eir Arthur Sullivan's great rapidity of working. He says: "He told me himself at one of the final dress rehearsals of that he had yet to do the overture to the opera which anyone can still see Is an elaborate and masterly composition. He sat up until 5 in the morning, never leaving his desk, and writing with an assiduity which It ia almost impossible to realize." Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Curtin, who reached San Francisco a few days ago, will have completed a tour of the globe upon their arrival in Washington.

Mr. Curtin is credited with knowing, in carious degrees of Intimacy, about CO languages and dialects. He met Count Tolstoi during his recent stay in Rus s'ia, visiting' him on his estate near the town of Tula. At Warsaw, the home of Sienkiewicz. he was the guest of the famour Polish author.

The widow of General Nathaniel P. Banks, who died a few days ago at Waltham, aged SI years, was long known as "the factory girl who danced with the Prince of Wales."

A prominent feature of racing in 1000 was the inorease in turf gambling by women. The season developed several women who might be clashed as plungers. Especially in the west last yemr they were great patrons of race course betting rings. In Chicago, St. Louis and around Cincinnati as well so strong was the play from the fair patrons of racing in the grand stand that prominent bookmakers offered prizes to the messengers bringing them the most patronage.

Some of these boys, who began the season at Memphis and came up the line of the circuit of the big meetings, piled their trade so successfully among the women that the dally average of their commissions was Their rule was to charge 10 cents for every trip they made to the betting ring, and if the bookmaker's ticket they brought back was on winning horses they received an additional 15 cents.
