Substan tial and elegant In its grey stone and noble porjKjrtlons, It occupies a fclte that Is pointed out with pride by every lesldent of the country sldo In the vicinity of Glcnburn, Wavorly and Dalton. The beautiful eminence- upon which It Btands Is thickly wooded close to the grounds at the back, while lolling down across an extensive opening the lovely lawn stretches to the tennis courts and groves beyond. From the broad porticoes may bo seen the most magnificent series of views to be im agined and so thoroughly arc these beauties of nature enjoyed by the owner and his family that nothing Is allowed to obstruct the splendid pros pect facing toward the sunset land. At the right of the house Is n collec tion of woodlnnd shrubbery where many graceful sumac trees will soon llutter their (laming banners In the autumn winds. Woodland paths have been laid out, making a delectable walk on a hot day, and the crest of the hill at the rear Is. crowned by a pictur esque and useful windmill. The grounds are very large, as Mr. Linen owns about seventy-flve acres of land nbout his home. "Llnalr" within is ns beautiful as without. Hardwood floors, wide colo nial mantels and picturesque nooks ap pear from every point of view More than all, It Is a home where cares of life seem set aside and the happy host with his gracious wife and their chil dren make the summer a dream of pleasure to those who gather beneath its roof from time to time.

"Speaking of tho queen, I am so tired of seeing pictures and busts of her stuck up everywhere that I don't know what to do. It Is noth ing but Jubilee this and jubilee that, and every little ha' penny store has up: 'Patronized by her Majesty, the Queert.' It Is fortunate I am an Ameri can, isn't it?

Salicy Bess' tt P th'o average woman wero ask II ed to specify which she would II prefer to meet, tho "Bad Man," L as the children call him, or the reminiscence fiend, she would, if she told the truth, promptly choose tho former. The reminiscence flend, for 6omi unknown reason is usually a wo man. Obviously, had she been a man, a violent death would have early stop ped her career. F-elng a woman she Is suffered to exist. She Is the most etnbarasslng person of your acquaintance. She always knows your exact age, as you are either three months younger than her John or three months older. She remembers when you were teething and what a terror you were at that time for your mother came to visit her anil brought you along. No matter how adroitly you trv to sidetrack her, the topic of your age and your Infantile iniquities fasclnatrs her thought and she simply wnnt talk about anything els-j. Sometimes she Is right In her guess, but more frequently she Is not, and It Is always on the wrong side that tho error Is made. It Isn't the slightest use for vou to offer a protest, for that lnvnrlbly causes her to start In afresh with her proof and as a result all the listeners for there are sure to be many of these when Mrs. Reminiscence takes the stand look at each other signifi cantly as If to say: "We thought she tried to appear younger than sho should." She Is the one who playfully recalls If you happen to have a husband in clined to be Jealous, the number of admirers you used to have. If he is of the other variety that Is proud of hear ing of your former conquests, she is sure to remark upon the fact that 'twas lucky he asked you to marry him or you'd probably have remained single during life, for tho jomlnlscerce fiend has no tact. She U the one who tells some man of her acquaintance who is sensitive about his appearance that she remem bers when he had such a fine head of hair. She asks another In the presencs of his wife, if he recalls the time when her cousin from New York "broke him all up," and she goes on to detail of what he considers ancient history un til he is prepared to brain her with the meat platter. Mrs. Reminiscence Is the one who remembers the swear words that your father used to have; the habit of talk ing through her nose your mother used to have; the time that your brother en ticed th'e preacher's "boy to go swim ming on Sunday and tho foolish mar riage that your sister, who has made another since, was alleged to havo con tracted the first time. She tells In the presence of a large and visibly Interest ed audience, about the time when you cried because you had only a. print frock for Sunday, and she assures your daughter's betrothed that she can re member seeing your greatgrandmoth er carried away to the insane asylum. Oh bhe's a dear. Is the reminiscence fiend. We have seen the embodiment of a great Idea In our city the past few days. There have been those among us who have sneered at It, who have said In whispers that It means noth ing, that it is really only a big pre tense, but those who have uttered such sentiments have deliberately told an untruth. I refer to the great temper ance movement represented in the con ventions which have Just closed. While I do not wish to be understood as mak ing an unkind comparison, I would still affirm that in my belief the work ex emplified by the Catholic Total Absti nence societies Is of greater value In its comparative brief existence than that accomplished In two decades by the Prohibition party and the Woman's Christian Temperance union combined, wide as has been the Influence of these organizations. It Is not that more conscientious ef fort Is being expended or that a more fervent, desire for the good of human ity actuates the Catholic societies, but that they do reach tho classes which the others merely aim at too high, frequently and at too long range. The members of these bocletles are chiefly working people; they are the one3 who most suffer from the woe of drink, the ones who bring more wretchedness to others. The Prohibition party and the W. C. T. U. are largely composed of the leisure class of men and women who would be sober, respectable and thrifty If the word or the scheme of temperance had never been devised. As a rule their Influence touches their own kind alone. It may go higher than their own social grade, but Infrequently goes lower, while the young men and women of the total abstinence organ izations not 'Seldom come from homes where a temperance object lesson Is needed and they will form family cir cles whose future will be blessed for ever because of the earnest principles now being inbred. A cultured and lovely young Irish woman said yesterday: "Our people have so long been persecuted and under bondage that they have not yet shown what they can-do. This tem perance idea has taken firm hold on their hearts and Its Influence Is being felt. The highest classes are not too ready to accept the reform, for often they are not total abstainers, but It is the poor who most need It, and among them It Is making great progress." The following extract from the na tional secretary's report is significant of the plans of the temperance Idea nmong Catholics; wmrs Whether Itching, burning, bleeding, scaly, crusted, pimply, or blotchy, whether simple, scrofulou3,orhcredltary,from Infancy to ago, speedily cured by warm baths with Cbticdba Boav, gentle anolntingjwlthCUTicuKA(oInt mentj, tho great skin cure, and solid doses of CoTlctmA, Re80I.ve.nt, greatest of blood purifiers and humor curcs utioiira ImoII throughout Oxwotll.

"I think that the policy which de pends on the law, and the law alone, for tho euro of Intemperance has been ' tried In the balance nnd found want ing, nnd that shrewd-thinking and sound-headed men are realizing the futility of over-lcglslatlon as a cure all, and are more and more coming to the position which wo ns an organtza tlon have stendlly maintained, that tho best way to effectually close the saloon 1b to stop the demand for drink nnd make odious the drinking customs of society. They are beginning to ac knowledge the soundness of the policy which commences by making total ab stainers, and then allowing the volco of law to be the outcome of a senti ment deeply lodged In the hearts of the people. Wo do not hope to make men sober by law, but we do hope by law to prevent tho saloonkeeper from mnklng his patrons drunk." Tho fact that when a company of young Irishmen take a visitor out to have a "good time" It not Infrequently occurs that they go to their club, per haps enter billiard parlors, and order drinks, but as a matter of course do not think of asking for Intoxicants, 9 even more significant in this ago, and Is nn example which might well bo Imitated by many young men who per hap9 are not particularly Impressed with temperance reform as effected by total abstinence organizations.

Southworth, tho well known, pianist and musical director, visited hla old homo In Susquehanna county this week to attend a family reunion. Mlsa Katharine Timbcrman, of tho Scranton Conservatory of Music returnedi Tuesday from a sojourn at Lako Wlnola. She leaves today for Mount Pocono to re main until September. II II II Miss Cordelia Freeman, whoso musical ability is so well recognized in this city, has arranged to.be at Mr. Southworth'a studio on Wednesday of each week for tho convenience of her vocal pupils. Miss Stella Seymour, whoso long so journ In Germany is concluded and who will bo in Scranton very soon, will not re main hero for an extended time as her many friends as well as tho members of the musical circles had hoped. Sho will mako but a 'brief visit and at its conclus ion will go to South Africa to remain wlthi her brother for somo time, after which sho will resldo permanently with him In London. Much regret is expressed at this decision of this cultured musician who would havo been again, as sho has been in tho past, a valued acquisition to our city. Tho following Is a list of the teachers already engaged for i,cxt year's work Irt tho Scranton Conservatory of Music, by tho director. Professor J." Alfred Pen nington; GUseppo Allbertl, Italian lan guage; Robert J. Bauer, band instru ments: Theodcre Bauschman, flute; Lew 3 K. Brown, musical dictation and sight singing; Miss S. Loulbo Hardenbergh, pianoforte; Theodore Hemberger, violin, viola, violoncello, harmony and counter point; EdouardLamaze, French language; J. Alfred Pennington, pianoforte, organ and musical theory; Rev. J. W. Randolph, German language: Miss Katharlno Tim bcrman, volco culture and singing; Miss Helen M.Worthlngton, drawing and paint ing. Tho Conservatory now occupies tho entire third floor of the Carter building. II II II Sousa, tho muic king, is a great ad mirer of Wagner. This fact gives point to a story which ho tells relating to a visit that ho made to Beyreuth for tho express purpose of attending a Wagner festival. When ho reached Beyreuth ho found that it v as impossible to buy a ticket. The sequel, showing how ho listened at tho rate of a dollar a minute, Mr. Sousa thus relates: "Theie I was, an American musician to whom a Wagner performance at Beyreuth had been a long contemplated treat, obliged to sit outsldo tho theater after traveling so many miles to bo present. After the first act my American friendB all came out to tell mo how great the performance vyas. Theyi mean well, no doubt, but I could not ap preciate their kindness and refused to bo comforted. Amtng thoso present was a German-American from somewhere out iT west, who, seeing my really great disap pointment, finally offered mo tho tempo rary loan of his ticket on tho condition that I should remain only for ono number. I accepted with thanks, of course, for a orumb of Wagner at Beyreuth is better than on Wagner bread at all. Just as the hsralds appeared before tho secondi act my new found good angel apparently repented, his rashness in trusting hla precious ticket to a stranger, and in or der to sustain no financial loss through any possible neglect on my part to re turn, he hurriedly said: 'That will cost you flvo dollars, Mr. Sousa,' Without a murmur I handed over the amount in Ger man currency and hastened to my seat. I took several good looks around the the atre, listened to one number of 'Tann hauser1 and then, summoning an usher, I pretended to bo suddenly ill and left tho theater. My new friend appeared vastly relieved when I came back to him and returned his ticket. A glanco at my watch showed that I had spent flvo min utes in tho Beyreuth theater, and ono dollar a minute even for Wagner is a pretty good price to pay for opera. Myt Gorman-American good Samaritan re ceived from me the exact price of hla ticket, and as he heard all of 'Tann hauser' with the exception of ono num ber his philanthropy was not unproflt able." ELM PARK SUNDAY SCHOOL Spent a Delightful Day at Lalto Ariel. Elm Park Sunday school made a wise selection of a day for Its excursion, a3 yesterday was perfection Itself for an outing. Nineteen car loads went to Lake Ariel and it Is estimated that about 1,200 persons were aboard. The Lawrence band accompanied the ex cursionists according to custom and furnished excellent music. Boats wero free and the lake was nearly covered with merry parties. No accidents occurred, with tho ex ception that one lady fell Into tho water, but was promptly fished out bo fore sho had time to get wet. Con trary to expectations the grounds wero dry and the day was delightfully spent. Superintendent W. A. May says that It was probably the most enjoyable outing ever experienced by tho Sunday school. A hotly contested game of base ball was played in tho morning between teams from Prof. Buck's and John G. McConnell's classes. This was tho third game played between these teams on similar occasions and, since each had won a victory before, much Inter est was manifested In yesterday's con test. Buck's class won.
