The Infliu-nce of Ce mini.
The Sun. enters the sign of (letnlni to
duy ami will remain In the name until June
21. Ucnilnl 1h Included In the hitelleetu.il
of Zodhir. mill children born under
Its intlueiire belong to the realm of edu
cation, arts mill nierhunles. They nro
usually very active and wunt to do some
thing all the time, they are lovers of
knowledge and frequently succeed as lec
turers. Children or Gemini lack continui
ty. Unless their life Is modified by strong
jdanetary Influence they are apt to be in
constant. Of the children of Gemini the ancient
nsiroloucrs speak as follows: "Uetninl be
lux naturally fair doth also cause a fair
child, and one that will be merry, witty,
liberal and wise, but a boaster, n reat
traveler and Hlraver about countries, ear.
ln little about his own business, whereby
he will be neither rich, neither oppressed
with .poverty, but of mean estate; and
of such lldelity that he will be appointed
to some office under Kovernmeni. He will
be full of understanding, subtle, uetille
to be spoken to and will be liked )y most
everybody, us they which have Venus well
placed In their nativity. Also fair of face.
The slnKUlar til ft he hath also before oth
ers, that being angry he can dissemble
and cover his uliKer. He will be In great
danger when about 23 years of age, either
to be bitten by a dog, or hurt by some
weapon."
Children born under this sign are liable
to nervous disturbances, and should al
ways associate with persons who are quiet
and easy. Parents should cultivate in
them the habit of self-control when they
ure young.
The general conditions as describe!
above are often altered materially by
tronif planetary Influences.
SUGGESTIONS FROM READERS.
Under this head The Tribune, will, be
pleased to print from time to time any
hints that may he given by readers as to
the duty of a daily puper and best methods
of conducting the same. As these com
munications relate to the conduct of The
Tribune only they will be published over a
Home de plume, but name of writer should
accompany articles as an evidence of good
faith, though not for publication.
A Worthy Cause.

plish a good work by agitating the subject

JCdltor of The Tribune.
Sir: Why not offer prizes for poems by
local writers? Let the poems be published
in The Tribune and have awards made
once a month. I think this would stimu
late renewed effort on part of our home
talent and some surprising results might
'be obtained. 13. H. Q.

The Lawyer's Retainer.
A criminal lawyer In Chicago, who Is
noted for his faculty In acquitting any
prisoner In whose defense he may be em
ployed, without much regard to the char
acter of the evidence, is In great demand,
particularly among those who feel that
their coses may be precarious. He received
a letter the other day from a prisoner In
the county Jail. It related that the writ,
er had been arrested for horse-stealing and
was Indicted at the last session of the
Rrand Jury. It declared that the writer
ad little hope of acquittal unless good
talent could be enlisted In his behalf, and
he begged the lawyer addressed to take
the case. Then came the pathetic part of
th letter. '
"I have no money," the writer said, "to
pay for legal services, and very little
property. But the horse Is a good family
driving horse; It can do a mile In 2.36, and
Is gentle enough for any lady to use. I'll
give you th horse If you'll take up the
case."

Susquehanna. May 19. From over the
hills In Wayne county there comes the
oe'r-true tale of a heroic woman who
helped kill two cubs, after "standing
off" their mother. While Mr. and Mrs.
Browning1 were out upon the hills pick
ing greens, in the Sherman district,
they came across an old bear and two
cubs wanderers from the Pike county
section. The cubs were chased up a
tree, where they were safely guarded
by Mrs. Browning, while her husband
walked to a saw mill, two miles away,
and secured a gun. While Mrs. B. was
standing at the tree, watching the
cubs, the old bear tore around, crash
ing the brush at a fearful rate and
growling terribly, but she kept some
distance away. Mrs. B. stood plucklly
at her post and delivered the "bar" meat
to the gunner, who dispatched both
cubs in short order. The cubs made
several attempts to get down the tree
to the ground, but were as often beaten
back by the woman, who rapped them
unmercifully with a stick, while she
kept an eye on the old bear, which es
caped when the shooting commenced.
JOINED THE MAJORITY.
The funeral of Norman L. Stone, an
old and highly respected resident of
Ararat, occurred on Monday. The in
terment was made at Gelatt, Gibson
township.
Mrs. Thomas Russell (nee Mrs. Mag
gie Smith) a highly-esteemed resident
of East Church street, died at an early
hour on Sunday morning. She Is sur
vived by the husband and one child.
Tho funeral occurred from the Presby
terian church this afternoon, the pas
tor. Hev. D. I. Sutherland, officiating.
Airs. Imre Prescott, wife of the gen
eral storekeeper of the Erie railroad,
died suddenly, of dropsy, on Monday
afternoon. She leaves behind the hus
band, a son and two daughters. Mrs.
Prescott was an estimable lady, and
her sudden and untimely death brings
sadness to a very wide circle of friends.
The funeral will occur from Christ
Episcopal church on Wednesday.
THE RATTLESNAKE'S RATTLE.
The growth of the rattle of the rat
tlesnake, which is very numerous here
abouts, hus been studied by a local
scientist, who finds that the rattle Is
frequently shpd; and, after being shed
(his snakes were kept in a very warm
room) In three or four months two rat
tles were present, their appearance hav
ing nothing to do with the casting of
the skin. The snakes were made to
register the vibrations of the rattle on
smoked paper, and It wns found that
the vibration wns n compound one, con
sisting of the vibration of the tail as a
whole, and of the rattle independent of
the tall vibration. The approximate
figures of vibrations were, for the tall,
"3; of the rattle, 100 a second.
COUNTY POLITICAL POINTS.
This appears to be the right period of
the moon for the "People's Party" to
open a bnr'l. The Republicans are not
compelled to spend much money; the
Democrats see no sense In scattering
uny; and the floater, who desires to
sell his vote, must look to the P. P.
There is a report that Professor IT. B.
Olllet. of New Mllford, ex-county su
perintendent of schools, who has been
nominated for register and recorder by
the People's Party, will make an ener
getic canvass.
The People's party In convention as
sembled in Montrose on Friday, made
the following nominations: Congress,
( P. Shaw, of Bradford county; sher
iff, Jasper T. Jennings, of New Mllford;
register and recorder, U. B. Ollett. of
New Mllford: treasurer, William Hoa
ley, of Silver Lake; commissioner,
Charles Lamb, of Oakland.
A PASSING GLANCE.

ANGLING ALLEGATIONS.
Tn the trout streams of the Jefferson
branch section, trout fishermen report
Indifferent success. The streams are
literally fished to death.
Four hundred and fifty thousand
young shad were last week deposited in
the.Delaware river at Lambertvllle, by
the united States fish commission.
By paying attention to stocking,
Wayne county ought to furnish the
best fishing In the state. One of Its
townships (Preston) has about thirty
natural lakes.

BUSINESS BREVITIES.
THE COAL TRADE. The president
of one of the anthracite companies said
yesterday, says the Philadelphia Times,
that the coal trade has drifted more or
less Into a position where there Is prac
tically a duel between the buyers and
the sales agents. Buyers of ccal are
trying to starve the sales agents Into
cutting prices a little, and as a result
' very little coal Is being sold. The sa es
I agents, however, are firm on the point
and Insist on the full circular. There
is no sign of weakness on their part,
and as stocks of coal in second hands
ure known to be small, the result will
be that buyers will have to come to
time and pay the full circular. The
gentleman quoted says that it must be
distinctly understood that there Is no
trust or combination. The only thing
to that the railroads are agreed on the
point that it is no use making prices
unless the prices are maintained, and
as the prices are extremely low, It Is
to the Interest of everybody to main
tain them.
