F. M. L0OM1S, A.M., Principal
An Englishman, who once traveled on
foot through Norway, Bays that be was
much attracted by the lameness of the
horses and cows which he saw feeding
along tbe roadside. It indicated a kindly
disposition on the part of the people, he
thought, but he odds:
In my original notes I find a long para
graph overflowing with sontimental ten
derness relative to thexe affectionate cows,
that followed and overwhelmed me ylfl
their loving licks; but I do not transcribe
It, as upon further reflection it is evident
that the licking was mere cupboard love.
All cattle in inland, and especially in
mountainous, districts have a strong crav
ing for salt, and these cows wore merely
licking the deposits from the sea spray
that had falling on my clothes during the
recent voyage.
This discovery was mortifying to my
feelings. Man wishes to be loved for him
self alone, and the spontaneous manifesta
tions of these pastoral, unsophisticated
cows seemed to respond to tbe heart's fond
yearnings. But, alas! even the cows of
Surrendal were liking me for the salt 1
carried.
8ecfwts from the Confessional.
A joiner being ordered to' execute some
repairs In a confessional which stood in
the Church of St. Koch, took the oppor
tunity to insert in the woodwork a micro
phone, which he connected by means of
a couple of wires with a telephone receiver
placed In an out of the way corner of the
church, where the man concealed himself
when people went to confession. In this
way he overheard a good many secrets,
which he turned to account by extorting
, hush money from the poor penitents. The
priest was at first suspected of having be
trayed the secrets of the confessional, but
after awhile the trnth came out and the
cnlprit was apprehended and sent to jails

GRAND DEPOT
Fortunate for the Thieves.
According toan officer of Scotland Yards,
"there are 100,000 piokpocketi in London
aud each one of them knows an American
the moment he sees him." This is very
fortunate for the pickpocket. He might
put his fingers into the American's pocket
and never get them back again, Detroit

Fatal Modesty.
A tragic instance of the Hindoo female's
modesty is reported by the Pehar Times.
A house at Pern a, a village near Tlkarl,
containing 11 females caught fire. One
of the women, a newly married bride, not
'Willing to expose herself to tho public
' gaze, declined to leave the place. The rest
resolved to stay with her. The conse
quence was they were all fearfully scorch
ed before they oould be rescued. Seven of
thorn are said to have slnoe died, and the
others are lying In a precarious state.

Montuose, Aug. 20. The mnre state
ment that the Smith family held a r
uuion at Hesrt lake. Sneqnehsnni

any spcino interest, but the mot tnsc
over 150 members of a certain branoh
of that family were present from vari
ous localities in New York aud Penn
sylvania, and that their geneologicsl
tracings date from 1030, lends some
importance to the oceHsion. Sine tliis

Major Warren Indorsed.
S)ecial to the Scranton Tribune.
Olyphant, Pa.. Aust. 20 The R
publicans of Olyphant met Saturday
evening at the ball of Thomas P.
Jones and organized a Republican club
and named it "The John R Jones Repub
lican Club of Olvphaut." Great enthusi
asm prevailed among the large number
present. There was music by the U y-
phant band, and songs by the Colum
bian quartette of liyde Park.
a. J. Matt lews was elected president,
W. W. Joues, vice president; W. J.
Shnbmebl, secretary, and F. I. Thomas,
treasurer.
The following named gentlemen
constitute the executive board: Wutkin
Davis, J. L. Davis, John Probert, Ben
jamin Parry and William R. Reese.
b. J. Mattthews, William J. bohub-
mehl and William II. Davis were elect
ed delegates, and F. I. Thomas, John
Penman and John L. Davis, alternates
to represeut the clnb at the convention
of tbe Republican State league at Hr
risburg September 5. The following
resolution proposed by Attorney .Tohu
R. if Jones went through with firing
colors and mnsic by the band.
Kesolved, That the delegates elected by
this club he instrueted to vote for Major
Everett Warren as president of the lie
publican State League at tbe convention
to De Held in llarrisourg, bept. 5. Major
Warren would bring great ability and en
thusiasm to tbe presidency of the State
leaguo, and would be a most worthy and
distinguished successor to tbe Hon. John
B. Ho bin sou. We congratulate the Re
publicans throughout the state for the
uuanimity Bbown in tbo choice of Major
Warren.
When the following resolution was
offered, it was adopted with shouts of
applause. It was very evident to every
one present that Air. Jones jis a great
f ivorite.
Whereas, John R Jones, is a candi
date for the Republican nomination of
district attornoy. We call upon the Re
publicans throughout tho couuty of Lacki-
wanua to recognize our claim and to plau6
tbe name'of John R. Jones upon the ticket.
We have every confidence in bis ability,
honesty nnd integrity. Every man, woman
and child in our community respects
aud esteems him. Ho is kind
courteous aud obligiug, aud has countless
frionds. We demand recognition. Never
has the valley between Carbondale and
Scranton beou represented upou the Re
publican couuty ticket. We have been
ignored ever since the erection of Lacka
wanna couuty aud now we demand recog
nition. The valley between Scranton and
Carbondale polls upward of fourteen bun
dred Republican votes, and this should
certainly entitle us to some recognition.
John R. Jones is our candidate, lie is the
choice of the people. If the Repub
lican party should givu this nomi
nation to our candidate we will
march shoulder to shoulder to
victory on election day by the largest Re
publican majority ever cast iu this sec
tion of the county. Mr. JnneB has great
tnlent,niid if nominated and elected would,
carve for himself a name which the Re
publicans throughout the county would
feel proud and honored to proclaim. He
has always been true and loyal to Repub
lican principals.
Therefore be it resolved, That this club
bo instructed to do all in their power to
bring about the nomination of John R.
Jones for district attorney.

The common excuse for not kuowing

thin into "want of will" we reach the true

Reference is mado mainly to the time
passed going , to and fro between one's
place of business and one's home. Most
busy men engaged in a large city spend at
least an hour a dny some eveu a couple of
hours in riding backward and forward
between the city and their residences in the

should be (illed up. The student ought

books, provided with vocabularies, may
now be had in most foreign languuges, and

from tho busy life of the working day, a
good working knowledge of both French

Bo Confucius Is llnguvded in China.
At the present day Confucius wields but
little influence over the Chinese. In most
cities are temples, or, more correctly speak
ing, halls, known us Confucian balls. They
are entirely void of any appearance of idol
atry. His name is revered as a wise aud
good man, but he is nut worshiped, nor
has he in any legitimate sense been deified
by the jieople. As Washington in America
is venerated as the father of his country,
and as Abraham Lincoln is spoken of in
history as the savior of his country, so
likewise is Confucius spokon of among his
people as the wise philosopher and patron
of letters and promoter of good govern
ment, but not as the founder of a religion
nor an object to be worshiped.
Educated Chinamen ail profess to be dis
ciples of him aud to read bis works and
to be guided by bis instructions. In some
respects they perhaps do, but they put
their own interpretation upou the import
of his teachings. There are no special
teachers to expound his works, aud every
one is free to place such construction upon
his teachings as his intelligence or im
pulses may lead to.
I am convinced that the power of the
philosopher over his people lias been over
estimated by foreigners generally, and that
the real nature und scope of bis work have
been largely misapprehended. W. O. Bcu
