non. At 9.30 o'clock the first course Mis
served. The, menu was an elaborate
one and the pro-prandlal part was
very much enjoyed. After cigars the
speech making began. Retiring Presi
dent Mason was toastmaster.
Representative John R. Farr told of
the inception of the board. Several of
those present were among the first
members. Mr. Farr stated that one of
the first victories of the board was to
open Robinson street. "I have heard
people ask," said Mr. Farr, " 'What has
the boo i d done?' True, we have not
any large factories that have been at
tracted to this side by the board's ef
fort, but we have Instilled much enter
prise and a spirit of progress." President-elect
E. M. Clurke followed Mr.
Farr. He said that he came In con
tact with thousands -of residents of
other parts of the city and the general
opinion was that the approaches
fro mthe central city are bad.
Mr. Clarke believes that the West Side
Is about to see a new era of prosperity.
Real estate, especially, will receive an
Impetus. The speaker thought that a
building and loan association would
greatly assist In West Side progress.
After Mr. Clarke, Toastmaster Mason
called upon City Engineer Phillips to
tell about chief clerk hire, Mr. Phillips
responded that "iiaves, not bridges,
were now the order." '

A. E. Morse made a few remarks and
was followed by H. M. Streeter, who
made a very entertaining speech. Dur
ing the talk Mr. Streeter perpetrated a
duo of amusing Illustrations. He (aid
that what the West Side lacks is home
pride. He seconded the sentiment of
the former speakers that decent ap
proaches are the prime fault In tne
stationary attitude of the West Side.
Mr. Streeter was recently elected to
membership In the board and he seems
to promise exceptional effort as a mem
ber. E. K. Robathan waa the next
speaker. The toastmaster Introduced
the ex-councilman for a talk on poli
tics. The response was devoted to an
expression of faith in the welfare of
the West Side. He said that what has
contributed mors than any factor to
the success of Scranton Is the effort of
the Scranton board of trade.
H. D. Jones gave a few remarks. He
prides himself upon having been the
first chairman of the board. His re
marks showed much confidence In the
work of the board. After Mr. Jones
the toastmaster called upon William
Blume, the carriage maker. It was
mentioned that Mr. Blume could not be
in sympathy with good roads they In
terfered with his business. Mr. Blume
talked at length In a Jocular vein. He
told personal reminiscences and alto
gether gave a very entertaining speech.
Dr. M. J. Williams said that the health
of the West Side Is better than any
other part of Scranton. The city water
Is the best In the state; there aie fewer
contagious diseases, and the board of
health has had fewer cases reported
to them.
John J. Davie?, the West Side drug
gist, said In a logical speech, that if
no factory Is established In twenty
years yet there Is a reason for the ex
istence of the beard. Councllmen J. E.
Oliver spoke on the pave question. At
torney Charles H. Pitcher also spoke.

ALLISON AND CULLOM.
Personal Gossip Concerning
Republican SeaatorsOne
Two
Car
riage Does Tor Both,
Wellman, In Pittsburg News.
Contrary to the general impression,
no great amount of gloom exist among
the Republican presidential candidates
who are not likely to be nominated at
St. Louis. A day or two ago I saw
Senators Allison and Cullom riding
down from the capltol In an open car
riage. They often ride together, and
economy is as much an object with
them as companionship. One of the
traditions of life at the capital Is that
senators should never go to and from
the big white statehouse In street car.
Of course many do, for traditions are
playing out here, as elsewhere, but tne
more punctilious senators ride always
In carriages. Allison and Cullom are
too poor to keep horses and vehicles
of their own, so they are compelled to
hire cabs. Both live on Thomas cltcle.
Just across the street from one an
other, and one carriage does for them
both. On the occasion of which I speak
the two senators were in tine humor.
They were laughing Immoderately and
evidently had been cracking Jokes at
one another's expense anent the presi
dential campaign.
The manner in which Republican
senators have been mowed down by the
McKlnley cyclone that Is what every
one calls It here has become one of
the standing Joke about the capital
The senators prod one another on their
failure to get In out of the storm, and
the honors are pretty well distributed.
Allison rather hps the advan'age of the
others, for his state stood up to him In
fine style. If Allison Is a popular in
Iowa as he is in Washington, it Is no
wonder that the McKinleyite were un
able to break In hi territory. Every
one In Washington ' love "old Billy
Allison," as his Intimate sometimes
call him' behind his back, and every one
would like to see him president. But
for the peculiar manner In which the
masses of the Republican party have
demanded McKlnley this year Allison
might have seen his ambition gratified
during the coming ten months. He
had the best position of all the field
candidates, as every one concedes. He
had a more promising chance than
Reed or Morton or any of the other
minor candidates. This was true large
ly because of his popularity In Wasn
Ington. No one was against him, and
If the field had ever been able to com'
bine on a candidate Allison would prub
ably have been the man,
NOT A SULKER.
Allison ha long been a presidential
aspirant In a mild sort of way, and
experience has taught him wisdom.
When the Iowa Republicans first or
fianized for the business of pressing
the senator's name for president some
of thm suggested that there was no
use - of re-electing him to congress.
There were others who aspired to that
seat, and they thought this a good
opportunity to arrange things their
own way.
"Allison Is sure to be nominated for
president," they said, "and the best
way for us to show all the country our
faith in him Is to elect some one else
senator In his place. Then every one
will know that we mean to make him
president."
When this little scheme was report
ed to Mr. Allison he smiled softly and
replied: "It Is very kind of my good
friends to show their confidence in my
future In this way, but you tell them
that I would rather have one actual
election to the senate than all the
promise of the presidency that can be
made to me in advance of the meeting
of the national convention."
The result was that Mr. Allison se
cured his re-election, and Is now con
gratulating himself that he did not fall
Into the nice little trap that had been
set for him.
Unless he should some day be called
to the presidency, It I not improbable
that Mr. Allison will finish his days In
the senate. His chances for beating all
records as to length of service In that
body are very good. Already he has
been elected to another six-year term,
and Is good for another term after that.
Allison Is one of the kindliest and
gentllest of men. I remember a story
of him which illustrates his temper
ament. When I first came to Wasn
Ington as a newspaper correspondent,
I heard a bit of rather interesting gos
sip about him. It was not anything
to hi discredit, and yet was of such
nature that the senator would natural
ly prefer nothing be said about It. In
fact, it was scarcely a legitimate topic
for a newspaper article, but I was un
able to resist the temptation to pub
lish It. A few days afterward I met
Allison. I expected he would give me
a good lecturing, and I knew that I
deserved it. But he came up, shook my
hand warmly, and said:
"I noticed that little story you printed
about me. Now, my boy, let me give
you a little advice. That sort of a thing
won't hurt me. I can stand any amount
of It. But It will hurt you. You can't
afford to print such things. My advice
to ycu Is not to do It.and whenever I
can be of service to you come and see
me."
Could there have been a more effective
reproof? and the result of It was that
Mr. Allison taught me a very good
lesson, ar.d we have been fast friends
ever since. He could not have done me
a greater kindness.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
Nomination Mnrh Kougkt by Pica
Who Have No Chance to Win.
That m. nomination by either of the
great political parties for the office of
president of the United States should
be sought In emulous rivalry by promi
nent American statesmen Is not unna
tural, say the New York Sun, but it
certainly seems strange that for the
empty honor of running on an outside
or third party ticket, with no possibil
ity of success, men should strive vigor
ously and as bitterly as when seeking a
regular party nomination. Tne t-roni-
bltion party, for Instanoe, never comes
near electing a president: It has never
carried a state and has never secured
an electoral vote in a state. It is not
strong enough In any congressional dis
trict to carry it for one of its nominees,
and yet the honor of heading the tem
perance ticket is coveted Dy many
statesmen, and there have, been great
battle in the Prohibition convention
(without the excuse of alcoholic ex
hilaration) to obtain It.
In the last Prohibition convention
General Bid well, of California; Gideon
Stewart, a pioneer temperance man In
Ohio, and the late W. Jennings Demor
est vigorously contested for the prise,
a If it was freighted with future politi
cal honor. Bid well hailed from the
land of California wine and vineyards.
Stewart from that state from which Is
consigned the domestic "Rhine wine,"
and Mr. Demorest waa from New York,
a town In which gin, the demon rum,
and Oambiinus, the good fairy of beer,
have long struggled for master. Gen
eral Bldwell was nominated, and then
the Prohibitionists turned to Texas for
a vice-president and nominated Mr.
Cranfill.
In the Prohibition convention of 1888
there was a vigorous contest over the
presidential nomination, and finally
General Clinton Fisk, of New Jersey,
carried It off. The Populists In 1892 held
their convention In Omaha, and the
preferences of the delegates was divid
ed among General Weaver, of Iowa;
James H. Kyle, of South Dakota; Mr.
Page, of Pennsylvania; Mr. Norton, of
Illinois, and the late Reland Stanford,
of California. For some reason which
wa not made very clear at the time,
Mr. Stanford, though long denounced
by the Populist of the western and Pa
cific states as the sworn enemy of their
rights and opponent of their views, got
considerable support before the Omaha
convention, but the nomination went to
General Weaver, the outside political
parties being, all of them, partial to
former generals. Former Governor St.
John was the sendard bearer of the Pro
hibitionists In 1884; the eminent Neal
Dow was the candidate of the Prohibi
tionists in 1880. In 1876 Peter Cooper,
honorably distinguished throughout
the country at that time as New York's
most Illustrious and public-spirited
benefactor, ran for president on the
Greenback ticket, and four years prior
to that Charles O'Connor, whose promi
nence at the bar was universally ac
knowlegded, was the candidate of the
stralghtout Democrats. so-called,
though the vote polled by him was In
significant. Tine political fascination
of a contest for the presidency Is not
limited, It would appear, to the nomi

extends even to those outside candi
dates who have no chance of winning
and, moreover, no expectation of win
ning when they are put In the field.
HIS LAST TRICK.
How an American Prestidigitator
Satisfied a Curious Englishman.
A well known American prestidigita
tor was a pnssenger recently on one
of the big Atlantic liners, homeward
bound from England, says the New
York Sun. He is a eood-natured con
jurer, and many times in the smoking
room ne exniDiieu Ills skill In perform
ing tricks for the amusement of the
other passengers. One of the frequent
ers of the smoking room was an Eng
lishman, who seemed to be unable to
get enough of the conjurer's tricks.
Alrrist every time the American en
tered the room the Enitllfhrnun de
manded something more, and usually
the American complied. The conjur
er took part in the ship's concert and
did a lot of surprising things with
cards. The Englishman was In a front
seat and followed the performance with
absorbed Interest. But the next morn
ing when the American walked into the
smoking room after breakfast the Eng
lishman repeated hla old demands. The
conjurer picked up from one of the
little tables a pack of cards, which had
been used In the whist game of the
evening before. He handed It to the
Englishman and said:
"Pick out a card."
The Englishman ran over the pack
and made mental note of his selection.
"Shuffle them up," commanded the
prestidigitator.
The Englishman shuffled the cards
severely, cut, and shuffled again. Then
the conjurer shuffled them. After that
he laid them out, one by one. In sev
eral little piles. The Englishman
watched him with rapt attention. The
conjurer gathered up the little piles
and gave the pack to the Englishman
again.
"Shuffle them again," he said.
"Now, do you remember what card
It was you selected ?"
"Oh, yes,' 'answered the Englishman.
"I remember It.
"Sure you haven't forgotten?"
"Of course not."
"You can name the card?"
"Certainly."
"Well, then, there's no use of my tell
lng you what it Is."
And this conjurer threw down the
cards, and went out followed by roars
of laughter from those who had seen
the trick.
FACTS ABOUT CAMPHOR.
How It Is Prepared from the Wood of
the Camphor Laurel.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The camphor laurel, from which the
greater part of the camphor of com
merce Is produced. H a native of China,
Japan, Formosa and Cochln-Chlna. It
Is a hardy, long-lived tree, and some
times grows to a great size. It has
evergreen leaves, yellowish-white
flowers in panicles, and is a very or
namental tree, the trunk running up to
a height of twenty or thirty feet before
branching. The fruit is very much like
a black currant.
In the extraction of camphor the wood
Is first cut into small chips, and the
chips are put Into water in a still and
steamed. The head of the still is filled
with straw, and as the steam carries
off the camphor In vapor It Is deposited
In little grains around the straw.
The crude camphor Is then heated In
a vessel, from which the steam Is al
lowed to escape through a small aper
ture. The camphor sublime in
semi-transparent cake. In the manu
facture of camphor the tree is neces
sarily destroyed, but by a rigid law of
the lands in which the tree grows an
other Is planted In the place of every
one that Is cut down. The wood is
hlKhly valued for carpenter's work.
Camphor wa unknown to the Greek
and Roman, and wa Brit brought to
Europe by the Arab.
