Carry Our New Interest Bearing Certificates In Your Pocket In Place of Currency and Your Money Will Earn 3 Interest The advantage is so apparent that even a school child can see it. Of course, you have' to carry a certain amount of expense money in your pocket at all times but how about the $5, 10 and $20 bills? As an illustration, take the person who is going away. will carry large sums in bills and from the moment those bills are taken away from the bank they are deprived of their interest earning power.

For that very reason, thoughtful people are using our Interest Bearing Certificates in place of currency, because they are cashable anywhere at any time and there's no interruption in their interest yield. These certificates are absolutely safe and are guarded against fraud or alteration. They are as sound as cash and as good as gold, and come in denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100. They earn interest at the rate of 3 and are backed by the full credit of a bank with over 7,000,000 in TO DESCRIBE CANAL. Kl IPME.T.

Judge O'Neill, after stating the seriousness of the crime, suspended sentence on Hawley, pend ing his payment of the costs in the case. Hawley forged a check for 1150 on a North Scranton bank some months ago and got a well known business man to.endse it. He made a good getaway ana went to Missouri. State I Trooper Ryan, of Wyoming, was sent after the man with a warrant, and! when. Hawley resisted arrest he was' shot In the hip.

He was brought back to this city, and for some months was i confined in the State hospital here. These certificates were originated by the Scranton Savings and Dime Bank and are issued here and nowhere else. Step. into the bank and ask any teller or officer for whatever other informa signed by you the certificate becomes valueless. Another much praised feature is the fact that on the back of each certificate there is a table showing just what the certificate is worth at any time from one day to ten years, so that there is no figuring to be done whenever you K.NTEHTAIM PHKSIDKXT.

Peter's Cathedral which were celebrated at 6. 6, .7, 8 and ft o'clock. The 9 o'clock mass was held last night. Arrangements are be der the Czar of Russia. The delegates contend that the church should have no influence the union and have engaged Attorneys O'Brien and Kelly to represent them.

The attorneys and a committee of officials conferred on the matter yesterday and it was pointed out by the latter that under the constitution they have the right to reject them from the convention. It is probable that the contention of the officials will sustain although the attorneys threatened to ask for an in. junction. A committee will be appointed tomorrow to have charge of selecting the site for the proposed orphanage after the delegates vote as to twheth or not they want the institution established and the. section in which they desire to have it located.
