Mr. Phillips said the task imposed
on hitii seemed needless, as the word
welcome'' is too well known of the
race they boasted of and to which they
belonged the Welsh. II hoped the
interc-untnuning of his raci would
tak on more of the social element and
not be so predisposd to oonfioing their
meetings to banqusta and the like.
The Welsh can challenge any nation
of thA world to produce an equal list of

APPLAUSE WELL MKUITED.
In response to the toast "The Prsm,"
John li. Furr won the atiplause of the
gathering. He a lid the press was the
greatest educational force extant, Its
power of strength nnd influence is al
most incomprehensible and extendi
into every sphere of life tuid develop

numbers is remarkable.
The modern newspaper is a com til ite
compendium of literature, history,
science, art and overy phase of form
and thought. Its power intellectually
and morally is great. The press is
censured for its chronicles of the daily
follies and mistakes of mankind. Are
thev not warnings'.' The newspaper
columns are the pictures of the masses
It is a perfect photograph, but can im
prove as the ptople grow better. Tue
cry for a mure pleasing presentation
will be answered when morals advance,
PEERS leaps Til ic PEOPUt ,
That the press leads tne people is ex
emplified in that ten years ago it told
Scranton she needed bridges. Ahead
of tne people in all things, it is grow
ing stronger intellect!! illy, an 1 grow
ing ideal. It makes aoino mistakes,
but above all, "It dares to do right."
"The Ladies" could find no point to

The members of select council did
not exert themselves to any great ex
tent to get to last night's meeting nnd
sb a ooosequence it was put h o'clock
when the upper branch of tho city's
legislative department began its work
A lengthy debate, which was to till
appsaranoea almost pointless, ensued
when Mr. Sanderson introduced a reso
lution to to this affect:
The city solicitor is hereby directed to
obtain tho necessary papers, necessary op
tion aud agreements, from the proper par
ties for the accession by the city of tho
nocesesry land to bu taken for the, up-
ptoachSS to the Linden street bridge.
If tho owners ol ths Und prefer an
agreement, thuuiayoi is hereby authorized

city solicitor, it is best for the city. The
considerations In said agreements or op
tions shall oorr res pond In every particular
to the offers made for the sale of said laud

liec-Hsary appropriation limiting the pay
ments for the land from the procoeds of
the sale of bonds hereafter t p b I lisned un

As soon ns Mr. Sindorson's resolu
tion had been rea l Mr. Rooht moved
to refer it to the special bridge com -mittee
with Instructions to report
forthwith. The councilman from ihe
Seventh ward explained that lie wanted
to introduce two ordinances and have
them passed upon first and second read
ings, and have an opinion from the city
silicitor regarding them at tho next
meeting of council, so that they might
tie passed on final reading With any
amendments that might be nsesssary,

ABOUT WELL KNOWN PERSON 3.
Genial and ever hanpy Billy Craig
has entered tils new sphere of useful
ness as Revenue dllector H-rring's
deputy in this district. That he will
fill the oflics as acceptably and give as
good satisfaction as any Democrat
hereabouts is conceded on all sides.
Craig is one of the unique figures in
Lackawanna politics, and has done
some stalwart work for Dsmocra
cy, having been for six years one
of ex Sheriff Robinson's trusted
lieutenants. His service in the sher
iff's office has made him n familar fig
ure in all puts, of the county. He
dearly loves a praetioal jok and can
relato a storv in an inimitable manner.
When Sheriff Fahey and Djputy Craig
occasionally laid nsidn official cares an I
revealed their powers as entertainers,
the sheriff's nfii te was a most agreeable
pluce to while away a half hour.
Fish Commissioner S. B Stillwell is
the inventor of a system of shorthand
writing which he uses with great sue
csts. It is far less complicated than
any of tho systems now in use. Mr.
Stillwell has also made valuable im
provements to n desk for typewriting
purposes, and works daily at his im
proved desk in bis office in the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western depot,
which adjoins that of ( moral Manager
W. F. Hallstead, Mr. Stillwell is one
of the oldest and most trusted em

honor of first setting foot on American
soil he facetiously said that nitieteen-

the present and review the pist.
The historic facts or tne lire or the
pejron saint of Wales are few. They
ruroish a brief outline only ; but myth
ology has woven nrouud his character
its mystic garlands, anu the halo that
Burreundl his life becomss more lumi
nous with the lupsn of tlni". He was
not a warrior. His record was not
written in blood His arts were those
of peace. He was neither king nor
emperor; he wore no crown; but
he reigned in the hearts of
his countrymen. He bnilt no
palaces, r.or castles, nor towers; but
through his benign" infliienu tem
ples to tho living God were ereeted
throughout South Wales. No monu
ment of stone or m-irble denotes his
last resting place, but the centuries
have built for bim a monument that
time can not destroy and which shall
endure when time is no more. The
glory of his name and fame is the
glory of a Christian character and a
life consecrated to tho elevation of his
.own people.
By following tho lesson of his life
wo shall be better Welshmen, better
cltizsns, and more dearly reverence the
American fl ig.to which we have sworn
allegiance, nnd its principle. Under
it we and our children shall hope to
have a bright heritage in the future.
