THE SCBANTON TIUliUNE -SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 21, 1897.
fi
ft",IF '" '"S""
Social
and
PERSONAL
LINAIR," the country plnco of
Mr, Jnmea A, Linen, Is per
hup3 one of the most desira
ble summer residences owned
by any Scrnntonlnn. 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.
August -Is a.' dull month. Ask tho
business men, ask tho editor, ask tho
girl who stayed at home, ask the young
man wJ)Q considers that tho most popu
lar young -woman 'in the city didn't
Btay at home ask anybody and the
repl' $ Tcorne with mflfe. or less em
phajlc' variation according to the per
sonality of the speaker. "Dull? I
should thinks so!"
Ky'dn golf languishes these beautiful
half autumnal days. There are such
a few young women in the city and
riany of the men have been absent,
that the links have been used but lit
tle However, a number of learneis
are Improving the shining hours by tak
ing lessons, and no doubt will astonish
some of the experts when they return
next month.
The much talked of event of nxt
week will bo the dance and tournament
nt Crystal lake. Fern Hall will be the
scene of gaiety indeed on Friday night,
when It is expected all the younger
tetof society people remaining in town
will be present. They will leave Scran
ton1 on th'e 3:52 train, and Mr. T. II.
Wqtklns has, made carriage arrange
mepnts for the guests who will greatly
enjoy the beautiful ride over the hills.
On Saturday the open tournament
will be held all day. Entries will be
made for many matches, including
Fln&les, mixed foursomes, etc It Is
probable that a number of Wilkes
Barreans will be among the guests.
,,
A, t Scranton girl traveling in England-"writes!
"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? I think when I get home
I'll open a baker shop patronized by
Ills esteemed highness, William Mc
Klnley, and concoct some McKlnley
cake or "The Piesldcnt's Pie."
A Scrantonlan visiting Quebec writes
In an interesting and graphic way of
his Impressions of the great fortified
city of our continent. To a friend he
says:
"We left Quebes this morning, and I
want to &ay that It Is the most Interest
ing city I have ever visfted. One hears
French spoken on every side, and then
the English soldiery in tho ser
vice of her majesty, the queen, and
the quaint and historic old houses and
streett, all make one feci as If he were
across thtr water. You remember, no
doubt, that incident In "The seats of
the""migh(y." where the English soldiers
found a way into the city by scaling a
hlgh(bjijff ajidwthere encountered tho
French pn. tho plains of Abraham?
Well, you can seevthc very place, and
near by Is a monument Inscribed "Here
fell Wolfe victorious, September 13,
1759."
"The- walls of the city are still as
forbidding as of old, and cannon point
ing outward here and theio still show
menace to the foe. You pass through
the gates of the city to get to
your hotel and are In a practically
fortified town. You can here see the
chateau Beaumonolr, the home of that
lascal the Intendent Bigot, and are in
the midst of old, old churches and
buildings erected by the French,
"We took a ride In a caleche, a vehi
cle which serins peculiar to Quebec.
The driver sets In front on a narrow
piece of wood, which amounts to about
a dashboard in our conveyances. The
body is hung on hug btraps and tho
motion Is lather agreeable than other
wise. The Chateau Frontenac, "built by
Prince Price, Is a beautiful hotel, and Is
crowded with tourists. It is situated on
Dufferln Terrace, 200 feet above the
lower streets on the water's edge, nnd
the view from the wide windows is
superb.

THE Ocean Grove Summer
School of Theology closed Inst
Friday after a session of ten
days. This Is the third year of
this summer school, and It Is
safe to say that the session Just closed
is fully up to the high standards of last
year and tho year before; whether we
consider the variety nnd Importance of
the topics discussed or the eminent
ability of the gentlemen discussing
them we must conclude that for clergy
men especially, the Ocean Grove Sum
mer School of Theology affords unsur
passed opportunities for knowledge
and Improvement: for this eminent
achievement In the short space of three
summers credit Is mainly due to Dr. J.
Embury Price, the dean of the school.
.He Is In every way adapted to the deli
cate and important duties of this re
sponsible position. Christian Advo

A recent issue of the Plattsburg Dally
Press contained the following concern
ing Rev. George J. Lucas, D. I)., of
Blossburg," this state, who delivered
his address on "Agnosticism and the
Future Triumphs of the Church," be
fore the summer school at Plattsburg:
Dr. Lucas was bom In Cork, Ireland,
nnd mado his early studies in St. Fran
cis Xavier's college, New York city. He
studied literature in London, England,
made his philosophical studies In Lor
wain, Belgium; studied theology at Wood
stock, Md. He received the degree of
doctor of divinity at St. Mary's seminary,
Baltimore," in 1&R9, and enjoyed tho dis
tinction of being the fourth in fifty years
to receive tho doctorate In that univor
blty. By invitation he took the llrst de
gree of doctor of divinity at tli" Catholic
University of America, Washington, D
C, In 1R35. The work which he wrote, and
on which he won his degree at tho Cath
olic university, Is entitled "Agnostlci.sm
nnd Religion," and he spent six years In
writing it. It was received well, both in
this country and in Europe, nnd merited
tue lecognltlon of Fiofessor Max Muller,
of Oxford, and other eminent scholars.
Mr. Gladstone, ex-premier of England,
wrote Dr. Lucas an autograph letter of

Fa
Topics for class talks on the Sunday
school lesson, August 29.
The tremendous obstacles against
which Chrlstlantly makes Its way.
The contrast between the passionate,
senseless religion of the Gentljes and
the calm, sweet, brave faith of the
Christian.
Quiet, patient faith conquers loud
and violent clamor.
Dr. Buckley, in the New York Chris
tian Advocate, criticises very sharpely
the propriety of hofding a Knight Tem
plar Installation and banquet In a
Methodist church. He says: No doubt
many things can be found Inconsistent,
but no doubt that no more justifies
things of this kind than the already
cracked panes of glass In a building
will Justify the cracking of the rest.
No doubt we do hot mean any partic
ular attack upon Masonry or any
other secret society by this criticism
of the misuse of a church dedicated
primarily and solely to tho worship of
Almighty God; though no doubt some
persons will think, and the unscrupu
lous will say, that we do."

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;

crusted, pimply, or blotchy, whether simple,

"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.

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. The score by
Innings follows:
