During the last few years, how .'er, owing to illness and advanc ing years, he has not been so actively and prominently associated with Welsh soclul, political and religious move ments as formerly, yet his deepest sym pathies are with his own nationality. For the time being, others may appear to occupy a more prominent place, but that is no reason why the names of former noteworthy Welshmen, should disappear from view and their services be forgotten. but rather that they should be all the more esteemed and honored for their work."

The triKti Is I know Mr. Cure was opposed to raislnx the salary because we sat side by side during the convention mid conversed together about It. After the voting had commenced Mr. Cure whispered to me and said that he was afraid the motion cf 3.U.",i would carry and my reply was that they were gclnrt like sheep over a wall. Long before his name was called It wm evident whut the result would be. When Mr. Cure's name was called he voted tor the motion on purpose, us a back lire that lie might be In a position to r.wve for a reconsideration and bring the question before the convention again and by so doing keep the salary where It belonged. For so moving .Mr. Cure was severely scored by a man who wa In favor of raising the salary. After .Mr. Cuie had moved for a reconsideration which W4S the only motion he made, and It wa ecoiid(d, not a director spoko in favor cf his motion and it was lost by a vote cf ; to 30 odd. Now to report that Mr. Cure muj. the motion to raise the salary or that he voted for It because he wanted It raised is un just, because I know it Is untrue. I mckn this statement not because 1 am particu larly Interested In Mr. Cure, but In the Interest of Justice und fair play. For If straightforwardness Is to be Ignored, un just imputations and treachery to be re. warded, whut Inducement Is there for honesty? Half the truth Is always a lie. Horace Seaman. LaPlume, Pa. Forest Fires. Editor of The Tribune. Sir: The terrible fires that have devas tated the country during She past dry weather should give our state forestry commissioner and those that are In favor of preserving our forests and our future legislators an opportunity to learn the true origin of so many tires. I live In a vicinity commanding an ex tensive view, with the Moosic Mountain range In plain view for twenty-five miles, which have been flame-swept nearly the entire distance by fires apparently started from the west side and reaching the east side, doing thousands of dollars' damaira before being quenched by the farmers. Aiso, aiong me lines or railroads, numer ous fires have been started, doing mush damage to adjoining properties. By ob. servatlon I believe the main causes of so many tires are the railroads, hunting and fishing parties and others who mallcloiifly or carelessly start llres. Farmers who own most of the woodlands do not want their timber destroyed, and do more to prevent and quench the fires than any other class When a bill (which, 1 believe, failed to pass! was before our last leirl.-dature for the preservation of our fortsts a rerii edy was easily found to restrict the farm ers from using fire; but not so with the main causes. So long us stringent laws are not passed and put In force our for ests will continue to be destroyed with great damage to the country and also eventually to the cities.

This Is circus day, as well as Knight Templar day In Scranton and to the youth, perhaps, the former fact seems the most Important of the two. The Barnum and liatley show will arrive early this morning, and will pitch Its tents on the old fair grounds on the Providence road, near the base ball park. It Is coming from Wilkes-Barre over the Delaware and Hudson. The street parade will leave the grounds and come down as far as Penn avenue and Vine street, about ten o'clock, where it will wait for the Knights Templar to move out of the way, so as not to Interfere with the fine military display, and will take the time to put flags In the chariots. It being Impossible to brlntr them under the Carbon street bridge fully decorated. The circus will move on as soon as the Knights have started. The parade will follow the Knights down Franklin avenue, up Lackawanna avenue, and Adams ave nue to Spruce street, where It will turn and go to Penn avenue, then to Car bon street, and back to the ground. The exhibitions will be given nt 2 o'clock In the afternoon and 8 o'clock at ulirht, but the man who wants to se-? tho entirB show to study the wonder ful Johanna, to watch thr Interesting exhibition of life on the other sldo of thu world given in the oriental India vil lage, and to hear the fine concert by Carl Clair's military orchestra, and Miss Jessie Millar, will come an hour earlier, find take time In the menagerie pavil llon and the "big top." inspecting the novel and entertaining exhibits at his leisure.
