77 - i j Vh THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE -SATURDAY MORNING AUGUST 28. 1897. Social and PERSONAL n. IIENItY BELIN, Jr., has occupied for the past half dozen summers what Is per haps the finest country es tate In this region. It is possibly the only one, with a single ex ception, that has a history. The beau tiful old house was built more than sixty years ago and Mr. Bclln found It necessary to make little change In Its exterior, yet desirable after the lapse of more than half a century. The pro perty, known as the old Nicholson home, Is located about midway be tween Glenburn and Waverly, but pro perly belongs to Waverly borough. Tho house was erected by Horatio Nichol son, esq., then attorney for the Dela ware, L'ackawanna and "Western rall joad, which was being laid through this region. "Lawyer Nicholson," as he wns called, was brilliant and gifted to an unusual degree. His Ideas were far In advance of his times, aa the splendid mansion built by him Is still In evidence, and had he lived, he would no doubt have lone ago left a name known In national history. He died when but little pasC thirty, before hav ing had an opportunity to enj'yy his lovely home. There Is a tradition that no one ever spent a happy year In the great house, until Mr. Belln broke the spell with the gaiety and life of his family, and the many friends enter talned within tho spacious halls. Tho site of this residence Is exceptionally Imposing, surrounded as it Is by wide terraces, shaded by noble trees, w hllo In the "back-ground rises a massive grove of murmuring pines. Tho dance and golf tournament nt Crystal lake constitute the society events of the week as far as Scranton Is concerned. It was largely through the efforts of Mr. T. II. Watklns that .these most pleasing affairs were plan ned, and It Is expected that tonight will close a most delightful outing for those able to enjoy the trip. Among those who went over or who will bo present today may be mentioned: Mr. and Mrs. H. J- Anderson. Miss Ander son, Mr. and Mrs. It. M. Scranton, Mr. Henry Belln, Jr., Mr. E. L. Fuller, Miss Welles, the Misses Hanley and Law, Messrs. Huntington, Welles, Bel ln, Moffat. P. C. Fuller, J. II. Brooks, T. S. Fuller, A. G. Hunt. There will bo many entries at the tournament, and It Is expected that some of the coVitests will be rather exciting. Mr. Huntington lowered his record this week to tho Interesting score of thirty-eight. Many improvements are being made on the tennis courts at the Country club, In view of the approaching tour nament. The landscape effect about tho grounds has never been so en 'chantlng as at present. The drives thither are in splendid condition, and It Is really the show place to which Scrantonlans are proud to take visit ing friends. The vlsltqr to Lake Poyntelle these days Is moved to wonder that the On tario and Western ofllclals do not risk the expenditure of some money on the grounds surrounding the lake and make a stronger bid than they have yet made ior excursion business. In a number of respects this, lake excels as a picnic re sort all the other bodies of water with in easy reach from Scranton. It Is tho highest of the nearby lakes and In mid summer Its mean temperature Is the coolest. Its shore line and general situ ation are attractive; there are no Hies, few Insects and no mosquitoes, and the waters of Poyntelle, and of the dozen surrounding lakes, are well stocked with fish. But by far Its chief claim to distinction remains to be mentioned. From a point near the summit of a de clivity on the southern border of Poyn telle, about five hundred yards from the water's edge, and just on the mar gin of a fine natural grove, Is a site for a summer hotel, from the piazza of which, if it should ever be built, the guests could look upon as pretty a panorama of table-land, valley and mountain scenery as the eye could wish to seei In the foreground Is undulat ing slope of fields and forests Into the Delaware valley, through which the Delaware river winds as a silver thread: and beyond this, stretching for miles upon miles over more than a quadrant of the horizon, lie first the foothills, and then, in the dim background, the peaks of the higher Catskills, them selves tully sixty miles away. This superb view, added to the numerous other attractions of the place, would, It Is believed, constitute a drawing card for a hotel at this point and also tend to quicken tho current of summer travel to Poyntelle if the railway company Itself would do Its share In Improving the approaches and facilities. Let us hope that ere another season closes the advantages of this charming spot will ba made more generally known to the summertime pleasure-seekers of the community. Social Gflssk Mrs. William Connell and Mr. and Mrs, N. E. Rice will take a trip to the Holy Land In February. The event of the week was the golf tournament and a dance at Crystal lake. Tho latter took place Friday night at Fern Hall; the open tourna ment was held yesterday under the direction of Captain T. II. Watklns. Colonel and Mrs. H. M. Boles will give a large coming out party for their daughter, Miss Ethel, In October, which will be the society affair of the year. Miss McCartney, who is chnperonlng a party of young ladles through Europe, has taken her charges Into Russia, a trip not contemplated when they left Scranton, hence Miss Wlnton, Miss Simpson 'and Miss Augusta Archbald will be missed at all tho autumnal functions In this city. An addition to the beautiful residence portion of Green Ridge Is the hand some new home of Mr. Clarence Slur gts. Like. a number of attractive dwellings in that part of the city, pic turesque field stono enters largely Into this composition. One of the delights anticipated with much pleasure by members of Preston Park association Is a corn roast to bo enjoyed next Saturday, when a large number of members and their friends will spend a night at the Lodge and will celebrate this great annual fete In appropriate style. Thursday evening Miss -Agnes. Ly nott, of Olive street, entertained at her home a number of her -friends at a M party In honor of her guest, Miss Camp bell, of Frceland.

Sanicy Bes9 Com meets EVERAL ladles who are always considering the welfare of oth ers, are In favor of starting a reform similar to that recently decided upon In Pittsburg, where a fund of $1,000,000 Is be ing collected for the purpose of estab lishing a model prison. This Ideal place of detention Is to do away with nil tho horrors of reputed prison life. The desires of tho prisoners are to be considered nnd their comfort Is to be the prime object. Now we really need such a reform In Scranton. Jail life Is no doubt very wearing In Lackawanna county. As It is now about two-thirds of the wander ing Wllllrs, three-fourths of the Hurri cane Sallies and about seven-eighths of the street-beggar criminals arc wel comed hero, or at least are packed off upon us by other generous communi ties. If It were thoroughly under stood that our county Jail was to be nicely fitted up with rooms 20 feet square, such a3 the Plttsburc philan thropists propose, with nice springs and comfortable mattresses, not to mentioned elder down quilts and Tur key rugs, there would be an Increase In our population calculated to encour age the circulation swearer. It may seem rather a pity to throw cold water on such a beautiful, goldcn ruly scheme, but somehow the Jail and prison work undertaken In this region has not, In the main, brought results such as would commend It very hearti ly to the skeptical mind. One of the Illustrations that seems to come uppermost In my thought Just at present Is that of a young woman In terested In prison work and who from that developed a phenomenally active Interest In a thief Incarcerated In our county Jail. He wns suffering from the effects of a fall gained Ire an attempt to escape, and she comforted him with apples, tracts and other delicacies, neg lecting her home and family in the meantime. Finally, when he had suf ficiently recovered, she ran off with him, leaving her three little children to the card of an Irate husband. Natur ally, they eventually landed In the Home for the Friendless, where they probably were better treated than ever before In their brief experience. Singularly enough, a criminal behind the bats oftPn holds a fascination for a woman, which, It It does not lead her into any indiscretion, is nearly sure to blind her Judgment nnd Intuitions, no matter how practical and sensible she may be. There may be those women who are fitted by nature to wisely con duct a system of Jail and prison visita tion but they are few, nnd perhaps It Is just as well for the peace of many homes that the feminine evangelization Is no more popular than it Is as regards personal and exclusive communication with criminals. While there Is not a doubt but that women have thus done much good to the outcasts of society It Is also to be deprecated that In many places, and Indeed In this city, young girls have been urged Into such ministrations. Happily, they had mothers who were not hen-headed enough to see their fair and Impression able daughters thrown Into the whirl of temptation from which results emo tional mawkishness; and the little fad had its little day then, peaceably mak ing way for something else, probably the wheel, or yellow sofa cushions, or monogram fans, or college trophies. SAUCY BESS. iT.nrECT arms. Society nnd Stngo Ilonst IHnny Who Own Honutltul Ones. From the N. Y. Commercial-Advertiser. There are numerous women who are noted for their beautiful and graceful arms, which njrtlstrt claim are the least common of all points of beauty. Some of them are society women and some of them are stage queens. The "divine Sara's" arms are almost as noted as her golden voice. Emma Eames has more classically perfect arms than even most beautiful women. Miss Morris, of Baltimore, the sister of Mrs. Gebhardt, is noted for the grace and beauty of her arms. And there are numerous other lesser lights both on the stage and In society who boast remarkable arms. But unless these ladles find upon careful measurement that their arms are molded In the following propor tions they may not claim to be clas rlcally correct. One celebrated statue of Venus show these proportions: Let glh of arm Inches. From shoulder to finger tips 2S 7-20 From shoulder to elbow 12 3-5 From elbow to linger tips 15 3-4 Arovnd upper arm 11 3-8 Around elbow 10 1-s Around forearm a 3-S Around wrUt 8 7-10 Diana, who should be the model for athletic women, has beautiful arms, as sho Is represented by sculptors. In one statue the proportions are as fol lows: Longth of arm Inches. From shoulder to finger tlp3 23 7.10 from shoulder to elbow 13 1-5 From elbow to finger tips 1G l-i Around upper arm 16 1-2 Around forearm 0 15-16 Around wrist 5 8-16 Scranton Conservatory of Music.

Religions THE syllabi of the course of study in the school at the Y. W. C. A. has Just been issued by the International committee and It Is now In the hands of tho secretary. All girls Interested nro asked to come to tho rooms nnd Inves tigate tho uniform standard courses which will be given this year. The movement Includes (1) tho establish ment nnd maintenance of uniform standard courses; (2) tho holding of ex aminations; (3) the granting of cer tificates. The aim Is to encourage tho Individual student. This method has been tried In the Young Men's Chris tian association nnd has been a suc cess, thus we are not venturing on un tried ground. It is a good opportunity for every girl to havo a fair education. All the popular branches of studies will be taught by competent teachers. Call at the rooms and talk tho matter over. The following Is from St. Luke's Churchmnn for August: "We have this month to add another large item to the already long roll of the good works of the Woman's Guild of St. Luke's. The ladles are having the church tiled by Mr. W. A. Gray, of this city. All the aisles, the back of tho church and the front up to the chancel steps will be laid with beautiful and durable tiles. The only point against tiling Is the light clicking noise made In walking over It, but to that one soon grows necustomed. In its favor we get durability and cleanliness, added to greater facility In hearing the services, for carpets absorb and deaden sounds. Hereafter we shall not be so much troubled with worn, ragged carpets and accumulating dust. Tiles will outwear dozens of carpets, and thus save both expense and labor."

The fact that In this city a woman who was married a few years ago re cently contracted a second legal mar riage, though the first husband was alive, and the ties of marriage had not been severed by a Judicial decree of divorce, has called public attention to a not generally known peculiarity of the law. The statutes of New York provide that the penalty of life Imprisonment shall Involve civil death for the felon sentenced to it. This means that ho shall be deprived of his civil rights, particularly property rights and the rights resulting from family relations, as If he were actually dead. Civil death takes from the person upon whom this punishment has been In flicted all that he owned and transfers It to those who would have received It If he had died before his conviction. It affects his contract rights In the samo manner as physical death. He can not, in this legal condition, become an heir or obtain property by bequest. The law deprives him of the legal rights of a parent. If he has a wife she may consider her marriage legally dissolved, as If he were dead, and contract an other marriage. Civil death was known to the Roman law, and this term, according to Black stone, was applied to certain legal con ditions In England. It Is also known to tho French law and to the statutes of a number of our states. But there are soma doubts about tho exact scope and legal effects of tho penalty. A Ufa convict may be pardoned. That would certainly not disturb or In any way affect property rights or new marriage relations that had been established as a consequence of the civil death. But could not the wife of a pardoned life convict, In case she had not contracted another marriage.clalm tho legal rights connected with the marriage relation? It Is believed that this question must be answered In the affirmative, and It would therefore appear that the ex convlct, though he was civilly dead during the term of his Imprisonment, Is still bound by his former relations If he has not been released therefrom by an act of his own doing. It would seem that the law In a ense like the one to which reference was made ought to require a Judicial dis solution of the former marriage before it authorizes the wife or tho husband of a person sentenced to life Imprison ment to contract a new marriage.

Mothers' Milk When Watery, Causes Mischief. Lactated Food the Nearest to Mothers' Hilk. Change Will Not Disturb Any Child's Stomach. Infant's Do Not Huvc to Bo Urged to Eat Heartily. Science has come to the aid of per plexed parents. . Lactated food is a substitute for healthy mother's milk that meeta tho hearty approval of physicians, nurses and mothers. No less an authority than Dr. Guernsey, the senior editor of the New York Medical Times, says that he uses lactated food with his children. He says that It Is pleasant to tho tasto and easily digested, and assimilated. The famouB Dr. Agnew, as is well known among physlclnns, wns one of the first to publicly recommend tho food. Dr. J. Lewis Smith, perhaps tho best authority In the country on chllr dren's diseases, professor In Bellevuo Hospital College, New York, commends Its use. There are hundreds of physic ians In New England, says the Boston Journal, who prescribe lactated food Invariably as the nearest approach to healthy mother's milk, and as a rich baby food that builds up the strength and bodies of young children and In valids. Most mothers are obliged to shorten the nursing period. The long exacting; duty Is far beyond their strength. Whereas healthy mother's milk Is un questionably the best Infant food, It becomes the sourcoof mischief as soon as it grows weak, watery and lacking In the power of feeding. Toward the close of the nurslnpr period, or when nursing Is protracted through the entire hot summer, few mothers are able to nurse their grow ing babies as they ought. It Is raro that the breast milk docs not show a decided falling off In richness. Infanta fed at the breast on such milk, insuf ficient in quality and amount, soon show the effect In colicky attacks and In diminished growth from week to week. Their drooping heads are con tinually moist, and a pained, drawn expression the sign of weakness, often steals over their faces. No mother can be long in doubt about what to do. The food must be changed to a rich, safe diet of lactated food. Parents sometimes make the mistake of em ploying cow's milk without personal knowledge of Us fitness for baby's food; trouble ensues In many cases. Diarrhoea and cholera Infantum re sult from Just such ill-advised substi tutes. Fully one-half the Infant deaths are caused by improper feeding. When breast milk Is insufficient, or the mother not well, lactated food may be absolutely relied on to take tho place of vigorous mother's milk. It Is Indorsed by the best physicians, by nurses and by happy, grateful mothers in every town and village In the land. iP MUSICAL NOTES. taSf"1' ' wai The Prospectus of tho Scranton Con servatory of Music Is out. It Is a book let of 32 pages containing valuable In formation for students of music, fino arts and modern languages. The work; of the Institution Is founded upon tho same plan as the celebrated conserva tories. There can be no question that the conservatory Is to music and art what the eolleso la to literature and mathematics, with but one difference! a preparatory training is necessary to enter college, whereas pupils of all grades, Including beginners, may enter upon a. conservatory training. II II II "Howell Davis," says the Olyphant Record, "will leave for Philadelphia In a few days, where he has accepted a, position at the First Presbyterian church as tenor singer. His aweet singing la much admired." Mr. Davis, who was for some time solo tenor at the Second Presbyterian church, Is well known In Scranton, where he has many friends who will rejoice that his mag nificent voice has been recognized In metropolitan musical circles in a way that will prove remunerative. II II II Miss Hester A,. Worthlngton has Just returned from a visit In Baltimore. Mls3 Worthlngton will have charge of tho department of line arts In the Scranton Conservatory of Music during the coming year. II II II Reeve Jones, the well-known pianist, has returned from his vacation at Lake Carey and haa resumed hla classes at corner of Adams avenue and Linden atreet. II II II Rosenthal, tho great Roumanian pianist, whose phenomenal success last season was bo suddenly interrupted by; his serious illness, which forced him to take an Involuntary rest of almost a year, has entirely recovered, and Is now in Gastein the charming water ing place in the Tyrol, preparing to resume hla American tour In the mid dle of November. Ho will play four times In New York, and then make an extended tour through the United States and Canada, Rosenthal will be heard In all the largo cities, such as Boston. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chi cago, Washington, Cincinnati, Cleve land, Detroit, Toledo, St. Louis, St. Paul, Minneapolis and the Pacltla coast. Judging from the sensation ho created last year, there Is no doubt but that the great artist will again bo the reigning muslclal success of tho season. rrrr''ggi 1 y
