WEST SIDE EVENTS
Dc3th of Captain David Bird sad John
R. James Bolh Were Wetl-Koowa
and Had Alaay Fritnd.
Captain David Bird died at 7.25
clock last evening ut the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Daniel I. rhillii3. with whom
he haw llvod for several years. A year
ago The Tribune printed an extended
sketch of Captain Bird's useful life.
He It was, ad a'tnln of a tup. who
piloted tlio Monitor dawn to Hampton
lioaus, where the git-at naval battle
was fought with the confederate ram
llerrl'iiac. Captain Bird was a great
and true seaman. He waa 75 year of
age and waa born at Rye, a little town
atxiut thirty miles distant from New
York city. He Is survived by a sister,
Mis. John Arniltase, of Brooklyn.
John it. James, who has lived on the
West Side for over forty years, died
yesterday morning at his home on
North Hyde Pnrk avenue. The de
ceased has suffered from paralysis for
over two years. He was born In South
Wales sixty-nine yeai uifo. Coming
to this country at thi uge of 13 he has
resided here since. He was a member
of the Simpson MethodiHt Kplstoput
church. Tne surviving chiioivu are:
T. K. James, J. A. James and W. S.
James. The funeral arrangements
have not yet been completed.
In the Cambrian of November. lS'jj. a
Welsh-American Journal, edited at
Keuisen. New York. Mr. James ws
Itivt-n prominent mention. The article
Is the leadlmr one of the number. On
the first sre Is R splendid Heel engrav
ing 01 the subject of the sketch which
In part as follows: "John a. J nines
la a highly esteemed citizen of Sci anion,
l a., and a few years ago was one of
the most active and prominent Ameri
ca, in the city and in the Wyoming
vail v. 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 article then gives a long biog
raphy of Mr. James. He was born on a
farm called Penywern In the purlsh of
l.lanelly. South Wales. Coming with
his newly wedded wife to Scranton In
1S49. Mr. J unies experienced the same
hardships as the other early settlers.
The Journey was by stage from Koiid
out to Honesdale and to Scranton. He
went to California during the gold
cruze and was richer by several thous
ands of dollars upon return. He was
ufterward assistant outside foreman at
the Mount Pleasant colliery and was
finally made foreman. He was elected
school controller for two years and
afterward assessor for several terms.
He was also a member of the Welsh
Philosophical society.
ML'ST HAVE ASPHALT.
The property owners on Jackson
street between Main avenue and Chest
nut street, are determined that that
portion of the street shall be paved
with usplmlt and not with Belgian
block as the present ordinance In coun
cils specify. A meeting was called for
last nlglit ami several of the owners
responded, but nothing definite was
done. The general opinion seems to be
in favor of asphalt. Dr. Williams con
vinced the board of trade at the recent
b:inUet that the cobble stone was In
ferior to tlie smooth asphalt.

increase In the earnings of tho Si. Paul

More About Supt. Taylor Salary.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: It has been currently reported that
J. W. Cure, in the recent convention for
the purpose of electing a county superin
tendent, made the motion to rai.se ilia sal
ary ftom 32.000 to $3.oo. 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.

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.
Route Over Which the Parade Mill
Pass This Morning.
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.
