th.in any other religious organization
ali'd to the churches. It has grown
and accomplished its purnos.-s where
iiiuiv less aggressive societies have

Ahont Sunday Newspapers.
P.ev. Fred A. Lyne, formerly assist
ant secretary of the Seranton Young
Men's Christian association, but now
pator of the Reformed Episcopal
church of Detroit, has thi3 to say of
th" Sunday newspaper:
"What about the Sunday newspaper?
Well, it would perhaps be better for
everv interest if there were none. The
publishers would be better off. adver
tisers would have but six days' Inser
tions to pay for Instead of Isevien,
and editors, printers and pressmen
would scura a more perfect weekly
rest. Still the public insist on a Sun
day edition and the publisher, like
every other business man, Is obliged
to sell what his customers want. It
Is certain that far more people read
the Sunday Issue than that of any
other day In the week. If there were
TieV -Sunday papers no doubt more
books would be read, bitt unquestion
ably less reading would Be done. In the
aggregate. On the whole the world
Is Drobably benefited ns It Is. The
tone and Influence of the Sunday press
It cannot be denied. Is wholesome and
elevating. Nor does 1t Involve much
Pundav work. The editors and print
r have finished their labors long be
fore sunrise, and only the delivery of
the papers to the read-rs remains to be
done in Sunday hours proper. .Miicn
of this is done so early as to be no
violation of the Sunday quiet. If the
newsboys could only be prohibited from
noisily calling their papers on the
street on Sunday mornings It Is Im
possible" Jo'seo that In the Interests of
Sunday repose anything else could be
wished. It is tno great proDiem wun
publishers whether or no the Sunday
newspaper has come to stay. Tbe
probability Is that It has."
Will Preach at I'cckvillo.
P.ev. George IM. Seheldy will preach
at iteckvlUe tomorrow afternoon at

Lutheran congregation at that place
are encouraging, although at first oc

Day afternoon. HI t. i.uke r cnurcn

shower: one of the strangest pheno-
menons ever seen.
Aug. 13. Frost, cold wave with snow
In some of 'the northern states with a
d 'b'ire of rain In the western states.
Now the question arises. How can
Profesfor C. Coles, the famous King
ston astronomer, foretell all these
things a month In advance of their ac
tual occurrences? Rev. Ira Hk-ks and
Weather Prophet Dunn, the New York
prognortlcator, take off their hats to
Profess-or Coles. The professor's cold
wave due on or about Aug. 17 knocks
Weather Prophet Dunn's hot wave

all proud of Professor Coles. The ele
ments do again sustain the professor.
This Is the fifth time that he has cor
rected Weather Prophet Dunn.
NOTES OF THE STAGE.
Atigustln Daly has acquired the right
of production in England of a French
pantomime play called ".Mademoiselle
Pygmalion." The work, of which one
representation only was given uurmg
the Paris season at the Cercle des Fu
n.ibules, has been written by MIM.
Michel Carre and "Jean Hubert;" the
composer is Francois Tliome, wen
known as composer or many snort
nieces for orchestra and pianoforte.
"Jean Hubert really is Madame jane
Mav. who has been engaged by iir.
Daly to act the part of Pierrot, hero of
the work, which is a topsy-turvy ver
sion of the famous legend.
It is said that Miss Ralrd has been
selected finally for the heroine of
"Trilby." when that much overrated
piece is produced In the Indon Hay-
mnrket theater in October. Kamuna
Maurice will be the Taffy and Lionel
I'roush the Laird. Young lerald du
Maurler will also have a part.
In his latest revival of "Macbeth" at
the London Lyceum Sir Henry Irving
banished the ghost of Hanquo from the
banquet ncr-ne. The only thing that de
noted "the supposed presence of the
spectre to the audience wAs a gleam of
light upon the vacant chair. The effect
Is said to have been admirable.
The Wllkes-Uarre Times says Daniel
L. Hart returned today from the High
lands of Navaxlnk, N. J., where he went
to rneist Stuart Robson's manager and
talk over arrangements for the presen
tution of the play iMir. Hart has Just
cnrr.nlctcd for the noted star. The
playwright mailed the manuscript of
the different acts as tney were nnisneii
to Mr. Robson. who Is In Paris. After re-
reiving the first act Mr. Robson wrote
that he was pleased with tne worK am:
not a line would have to be changed
Mr. Hart has not yet heard flrom the
other three acts, but Is expecting a let
ter every day.
Andy Mack, the well-known come
dian, will begin his starring tour In
'ttlyles Aroon" In Seranton a few
weeks hence, .Mr. Mark Is now about
the only exponent of the ever-populai-
line of melo-drama that made Kmmet
and Seanlon famous. He is a clever
actor and possesses a fine voice and
upon his tour this season will be sup
ported by a nrst-class company.

The Western Mall, of Aug. 1, devotes
two pnges to an account of the great
eiwteddfod at Llanelly. AVales. In the
extended notice of the affair and of
prominent participants in the exer
cises no more graoerufc and glowing
tributes are paid .than that accorded
JUDGE II. M. EDWARDS.
Hon. It. IM. Kdwards. of this city, by
'"Morion," ithe special correspondent of
the Western Mall. In referring to
Judge Kdwards and the Welsh-Amer
ican, the correspondent says:
"One striking feature of the vast
gathering is the presence of a large
number of wealthy Welsh-Americans,
Many of them left the old country in
f he r carlv youth: others are tne uaugu
ters and eons of the Kymry. born in
the noble country of blessed old Uncle
Sam. They have crossed tne mignty
Atlantic to see at home, In their own old
land, the race from which they have
sprung to be honored citizens of the
great republic of the west, wew xotk,
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, Hcramon,
Wilkes-tHarre. Chicago. Los Angeles,
and the Pacific coast are represented
here todav on this memorable occasion.
Many of them are here unknown and
lost In the mighty throng, and are but
silent witnesses of the nation of their
ancestors holding their national festi
val of music, poetry, and general lit
erature. American law is most au-
mirablv rerenntod Jiere by Judge
Kdwards: American commerce by the
daughters of the Hon. Daniel Edwards,
the '"Coal King" of the united rtiaies;
the great Iron llrm of Messrs. Samuel
Thomas & Co., Catasaqua, Pa., by iMr.
Oliver Williams.- 1 am told that It Is
highly proboble that a special meeting
will be held to receive tne Americans
before the eisteddfod Is over. Let me
tell everyone of them the hearts of us
all yearn for them as that of a mother
lues for her own children. The recep
tion Judge Edwards received this morn
ing, as in conjunction witn xaaian.
he appeared as conductor of the day,
was most delightful to witness. The
immense throng seemed to Know wno
h was when he presented himself.
For a moment the representatives of an
entire nation were hushed on bis pre
senting himself, as if they saw in mm
the majesty of the great repumic come
to do homage to gallant little Wales.
He was then greeted with a most cor
dial welcome, the cheering coming
from all narts of the pavillion. Judge
Edwards lifted up his right hand and
the applause subsided. U is recorded
in the Acts of the Apostles mat nuring
a tumult at Jerusalem !. j-aui was
accorded a better hearing when tne
multitude discovered that his speeen
was in the Hebrew tongue. The people
of Jerusalem resembled the Welsh in
several things, and today, when Judge
Edwards spoke In the language of his
Monmouthshire father and mother the
vast audience not only gave him a hear
ing, but they testified their approval
with quite a roar, as If Hu Uadarn had
fired his park of heaviest artillery, and
for a moment it neemea 10 ones lanuy
that the Red Dragon on the great flag
behind the platform was struggling to
break loose to go and give the Welsh
American learned Judge her "paw" as
a token of heartiest welcome to "yr hen
wlad!" The judge's fellow-countrymen,
not only In Wales, but through
out the world, will learn with delight
that Judge Edwards' Welsh is perfect.
Is as pure as it he had not spent an
hour of hl life outWe the circle of the
highest cultured bards. And yet It is
known Indeed, ne tola me so inmseii
he riraotlced as a. barrister at tne
American bar during twenty-six years
before he was elevated to the bench of
American Judges. 'Hid speech was full
of telling points and with sentiments
that went direct to the nearts or an
present, but his greatest hit was when
h alluded to the friendship of David
and Jonathan, and .then compared the
two Wales as t. David and tne Amer
ican nation as Jonathan. 'One of the
last-named two,' said the learned
judge, 'became a saint, but,' continued
he, 1 rear jonatnan oi uie presem
Is by no means a saint.' This bit or
raillery was Immensely enjoyed, and
the entire audience was convuiseu witn
laughter. Judge Edwards is still a
comparatively young man very young
in appearance ror a juoge, irom tne
Hrltlsh nolnt of view. (Mrs. Kdwards
accompanies her husband to Wales."
Judge Kdwards presiueu at me "ex
ercises on Wednesday, June 27. and
won the hearts or the vast audiences
by the eloquence and magnetism that
has made this whole-souled Jurist pop
ular wherever his voice Is heard,
whirther In th English or Welsh dia
lect, flcrantonlans generally win be
pleased to know that judge Kuwarus
was one of the most prominent figures
in the great eisteddfod.

fThe WHkes-Barre Jleeord of yester
day contains the following reference
to 'Miss Hadle Kaiser, the Tribune's
London correspondent, which will no
doubt Interest many of our readers
"Miss Sadie Kaiser is gaining many
flattering press notices for her excel
lent work in (London and other English
towns. Bhe has Just completed a week's
engagement at Leonard's, the fashion
able Engl" watering place, where
she added to the laurels she had al
ready won in J.ondon. The press re
ports of her work at these concerts are
very flattering. The Blastings and 6t.
Leonard's Observer of July 20 aays:
"Miss Kaiser, who is the fortunate pos
sessor of a beautiful soprano voice,
sang in a most efficient manner 'Who's
Ait My Window.' (Coborn), this clever
vocalist giving tater another contribu
tion. 'Nymphs et Sylvalns' (Remberg),
for wblch she gained a well-merlted en
core." The Hastings Times of the same
date says: "Tha vocalist was Miss
Sadie Kaiser, who possesses a very
sweet soprano, and was encored." The
Hastings and St. Leonard's Advertiser
of July 25 has this to say of iMIss KaisV
er's work: "The only vocalist on this
occasion was Miss Sadie Kaiser, a tal
ented soprano. Her songs on Monday
afternoon were (a) 'Brown Eyed dlrl,'
b) 'When My Oretchen Sings,' and 'I
Will Extol Thee' (Oosta), which were
superbly rendered. 'I Will Extol Thee'
wits a song that suited Miss Kaiser's
sweet and charming voice to perfec
tion, and was greatly appreciated."
She Is expected to leave England for
home on the 21st of this month. Wilkes
Barre is anxious to hear her when he
returns, and -then la no doubt that at
the concert ah axpeota to glva next
month the audience will test the ca
mel tv of the Grand oDera house, in
addition to this concert others will be
given in Seranton, Plttston, Plains, and
perhaps Carbon dale. The Press ciuo
of this city directed Us secretary to
write Miss Kateer. offering to engage
her at 'her own terms to sing at their
entertainment.

AT IT AGAIN.
Lord Byron Greon Bnras the Midnight
Oil and Vonte Ills Spleen.
We have Just been Informed that
Nomad Green has again been dipping
Ills pen 1n gall and lias been wasting
the midnight oil in writing windy effu
sions for the back-number sheet that
Is so hardup for matter of Interest that
It Is obliged to fill Its columns up witn
his Idlofio drivel..
Lord Byron makes a great ado about
our reference to him as being "spav
ined." In consideration of the unwrit
ten history of this malicious individual
GARHAUI
' Seeking the Big Lodge,
who does not hesitate at any means
fair or foul to brace up his dying Bheet
in the wubuiiis where The Tribune Is
surely leaving him far behind in the
race, the suggestion of spavin is Indeed
mild. There are lots or racts concern
ing the career of this old scoundrel that
would make Interesting reading matter
If written un tn proper style. Lord
Ityroit has been treated very leniently
when his many sins are taken Into con
sideration. It Is painful to note that
Lord ltryon, though occasionally
seized with nttacksof remorse, shows no
disposition to mend his evil ways, but
seems to be determined to keep on lying
to the end of the chapter. There seems
no occasion for Bryon to admit that to
.UA.fl.HALl
His Warm Reception,
him " truth Is stranger than Action."
Along the runways of this wandering
spirit his talents are too well known.
His last yelp In the columns of the
Seed organ Is scarcely worth a reply.
It Is said that a serpent will wiggle Its
tall long after death. This seema to be
aptly illustrated In the case, at hand,
and Lord Byron appears to be about
the only thing left to wiggle over the
fat of our back-number rival.

STOCKS ASP BONDS.
New York, Aug. II Wall street re
view: Business on the atock exchange
was less active than on any previous
day of the week, only 122.091 shares
having changed hands. The poor state
ment of the Manhattan for the June
quarter Induced selling of this stock
and the price fell from. 117 to H4'A
Chicago Gas was taken up to (1 by
houses with western connections. The
general railway Mat held very Arm
throughout, operators having been en
couraged by Uie excellent crop advices.
The changes, however, except In rare
