Mr.

West ecranton is about to enjoy a substantial Increase In population, on account of the abandonment of the Lackawanna yard at Hallstead." It Is stated that 200 families will move to West Scrantoa and take up their resi dence in tne vicinity of the Hampton yards of the Lackawanna 'company. Some of the residents hare already ar rived and when the others come, Hall stead's population will foe greatly decreased. The change is said to be wel comed by the young people of Hall stead, who like the attractions of a big city, but the older residents, who have spent most of their lives in Hall stead, do not take eo kindly to the idea. However, they will soon learn to like the Electric City. Several ocramon nave received honors at conventions, meetings and competitions out of town this summer.

Two Scranton doctors were honored at the recent annual meeting of the Homeopathic society of Pennsylvania, which met in Wll liamsport. Pa. They are Dr. F. W.

Brewster, who has chosen first vice president, and Dr. Anna C. Clarke, who was given a place on the board of censors. The meeting was well attend ed and interesting talks were given on subjects which engage the attention of the profession; here la a gate tender on the Lackawanna road who has made an ex cellent reputation for honesty. His reputation has been acquired by restoring lost money and valuables to their owners.

He had his most recent ex perience in that line when he found a roll of bills that had been dropped by a bank official, while boarding' a pas senger train. The latter did not have to worry very long after missing the money. An answer to his telegram informed him that his money was safe and it was duly returned to him. George Emerson is the gate man, whose honesty has relieved patrons of the road from worrying over their lost articles. eyeral Carbondale youths who made a practice of jumping on coal trains of the Delaware and Hudson, have had their "pleasure" disturbed by the detectives of that road.

They were arrested recently and brought before an alderman, who Imposed fines that are calculated to deter others from following their example. Boys who jump on moving trains do so at a great risk to their personal safety. Those who thus themselves are prob ably blind to the possibilities of harm that are present Their ability to overcome the danger temporarily, spurs them on, unless they are checked in time, until personal Injury finally results. They should be thankful to those who teach them the folly of their ways. Tne cn esmui season win soon oe nere.

In this connection, It Is good news for lovers of the delicious nut to know they will be well supplied this year, as a heavy crop Is reported. The quality of the chestnuts is said to be first class, and there is no evidence of chestnut blight in this locality.

Cleveland Plain Dealer. The first balloon to carry living freight was In September, 1783, when Joseph Montgolfier sent up a sheep, a duck and cock, all of which landed safely. This balloon was very gaudily decorated. The first human being to ascend In a balloon was a young French naturalist, Francois Pllatre de Rozier, who used a captive balloon for his first attempts. Then, on November 21, 1783, he and the Marquis d'Arlandes made the first trip In a tree balloon.

This was made in a hot air balloon, and fire was kept burning in a brazier suspended beneath while up in the air. J.A. Heffner, of Waynesboro, has procured a "freak" peach at the orchards of J. M. Newcomer, near Quincy, Franklin county.

At this rate there should be no Idle equipment worth speaking of by the flnt of aext West Virginias output of coal in the last fiscal year shows an Increase' of 25 per cent This the Coal Trade Journal regards as "the most remark able growth ever achieved in a year by a state of similar Importance." We are also told that "with its tonnage showing a phenomenal gain, and the Illinois production cut down 40 per cent, West Virginia will, of course, far surpass all other states except Pennsylvania this year and it la in teresting to speculate as to its chances of its retaining second place per manently." The great need of the bituminous industry is a business system by which reasonable prices can be obtained. Something of. this sort will be necessary before soft coal hope to realize the degree of prosperity enjoy ed by anthracite. The time is at hand, however, for Improved conditions in coal mining generally.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION. "VERY political campaign is 1 4 blamed more or less for indus trial conditions, and this year Is no exception. Since politics, like the poor, we have always with us, it teems ridiculous to make the brutum fulmen of campaign oratory an ex cuse fOr business timidity. Still, as a famous statesman said: "It Is a con dition and not a theory that confronts us," and it is best to meet the situa tion as it stands knowing that the present flurry will not be of long duration. The current issue of Dun Weekly Review of Trade says: crops aggregating large In quantity and value, in spite of the reduced yield of spring wheat; with politics becoming so intense and uncertain as to make enterprise timid, and with the railroads and shippers engaged In a dispute over rates, the business out look is mixed, trade reaction being very plain in some Important directions while at the same time there are streaks of progress and activity." i It is to be noticed that "progress and activity" will persist in spite of and that the corn crop continues to grow in abundance despite the croakers and market Dun's summary intimates that the situation is a waiting one, but there is sufficient in the review to show that conditions are sound and that "a number of the leading cities report a movement larger than a week ago."

THE COLLAPSE OF A HUMBUG. 4ROM London comes news of the bankruptcy of the palmist, who after squander ing a fortune of more than a million, is said to be worth only fifty dol lars, with debts aggregating nearly $250,000.. Cheiro, whose real name Is Jack Warner, had bis first lessons in palmistry from Oscar Wilde.

He made' rapid progress, however, and following a brief practice among the British' aristocracy came to this country. In New York he posed as an adept In Indian magic, and after familiarizing himself with the family skeletons of many of Gotham's millionaires, succeeded in amassing a fortune. Wealthy women who went to him to have their palms read, disclosed to him the secrets of their private Urea, After accumulating $200,000 as the result of his New York experience, he went back to London and. soon became the fad there once more." Warner's work in the British metropolis soon attracted the attention of Scotland Yard and then he transferred himself to France. In Paris he made the acquaintance pt a man calling himself King of Sedango and Hamon, two small islands near the Malay Peninsula.

The "King" was an adventurer who had himself proclaimed king of the remote islands in question. This King gave "Cheiro" the title of Count Hamon, and the latter founded the financial house of Hamon in Paris. He was prosecuted in the courts for retaining possession of stocks and bonds, and fled to London. There his old time wizardry failed him and his creditors drove him to the walL 1 Warner's career is a dazzling illustration of the game of humbug. He had begun life as a page In a hotel, and, although millions have passed through his hands he is said to' be as poor todayas he, ran arrjinai, try.

The activity of the French gov era men 4a this line has stirred Europe. A certain ele ment, in Japan to Figfat America. continue talk about war with the United States, and It nrg ins the building of a greater Nary for the clash. The Jap warrior say that a War for the mastery of the Pacific Is certain and should come before the Panama canal is com pleted and doubles the efficiency of the Nary of the United States. The Japs should hare the conceit knocked out of them by some first class power.

They are small but their Imprudence is colossal. WHERE ROOSEVELT STANDS. ESP1TJS the desperate efforts of certain politicians and news papers to create an Impression to the contrary, The Truth still be lieves that Colonel Roosevelt continues friendly to President Taft i When the former President returned from Europe there' was a good deal of newspaper speculation and surmise on this subject, but this journal then held, as it still holds, that Rooseyelt desires the success of the Taft ad ministration, and that when the favorable opportunity arrives he will be found giving it his powerful support We are also of the belief that Col onel Rooseveut is greatly misunder stood and misrepresented by those who atttibute to him an ambition to be a candidate for President in 1912. We are convinced that he has no de sire in that because be un doubtedly realizes that President Taft has earned the right to another term, and that the best interests of the country demand his re election. The enemies of Colonel Roosevelt try hard to make the.

people believe that he Is radical, reckless and self seeking, and that he holds the national welfare secondary to his personal aggrandizement This distorted view of his motives does him a great injustice. On more than one occasion he has demonstrated that he was willing to risk his life for bis country. The man who would do that would not hesitate to sacrifice personal ambition if, by doing so, he felt that he was serving the nation. The popular acclaim with which hej is hailed might easily tempt a man of leBs self control to become a candidate for President, but it will not tempt Roosevelt He possesses in a marked degree the restraint that will prevent him from making such a mistake, and the sound sense that will enable him to support President Taft for A second term as the best thing for the country. A careful study of Colonel Roosevelt and of his declared principles con vinces The' Truth that this is the course he will because it is the consistent line of action for a man who was so zealous for President Taft's first nomination, and so desirous of success for his administration.

We firmly believe that when the opportune time arrives Colonel Roosevelt will declare himself fully and freely for a second term for President Taft If this does not occur during the present campaign The Truth will have to admit that it. has misread Colonel Roosevelt and misunderstood his attitude toward the present" distinguished occupant of the White House. The secretary of the National Probation league Tells How to Deal With Crooks, declares the world would be better, if the right hand of fellowship were extended to crooks, instead of a kick or a threat He has shown his good faith by removing the locks and bars from the doors of his home. His experiment will be worth while watching. COAL MIXING INDUSTRY.

REPORTS fronr all the centers of Activity tell of brightening prospects, in the anthracite and bituminous regions. With the approach of cool weather there is an increasing demand for fuel, which will make work brisk at the mines as the quantity of coal In stock Is less than usual at this season. In Its general review of coal mining conditions Saward's Journal says: "Seasonable progress has been the keynote of trade comment throughout the country during the past week. The weather in many sections has been sharp enough to at least remind buyers that real coal burning weather is not far and as the consumers lhave been particularly reluctant to make advance purchases this year, the market da in a position to be strongly Influenced by belated orders which now come In when a cold snap visits one section or another. The car shortage to daily becoming more of a feature, and as it is found that the steam trade as weir as the railroads themselves ere calling for more tonnage, Jt is realized that there will be quite the usual and characteristic conditions prevailing for the next two weeks; that the1 fall season will redeem its reputation of being an active time in the coal business as It is in many other lines of trade." The journal reports a favorable outlook for anthracite and adds that "the traffic of the country Is growing right up to the full limit of railroad equiIpmentWith any spirited upward developing in business lines it will be necessary for the railroads to procure, on'any terms that they, can command, a SCCANtON TCUTO "The Kqaarc Dml For AIL iv SatabUatwd April 21, 1884.
