Twenty-five years ago tomorrow 'Wil
liam II. Seward died.
A mistake was made In this column
a. few days ago In speaking of tho
drive across from the Uoulevard to the
ieservolr and around to Scranton by
way of tho South Side. It Hhould have
been mentioned that no young1 man
should be allowed to take a young
woman over that road -unless she Is
"only a sister to him," and therefoie
not likely to detract his attention from
his horse, for just as sure as he al
lows his gaze to waver and the lines
to loosen, down the whole outfit will
go over the precipice unless the horse
is warranted to walk a chalf lino, or
never swerve a hair's bieadth from
the road. At least this state of affairs
would prevail for a mile or two after
leaving the new dam, where the load
Is so narrow that if you were driving
and met a bkycli&t he would hlmply
have to climb under the horses and
vehicle and devise some method of
pulling his wheel after him. 13ut any
way It's a delightful road, even It It Is
a trifle exciting. The wilter of this ar
ticle has been remonstrated with for
telling about the glories of this dtlvo in
the first place because all the gills
now expect their friends to ask them
10 drive in that direction, and it is ex
pensive. So this postscript is added In
tho way of an adjustment of the mat

CONNOLLY & WALLACG'S NEW STORE
Moat Complcto mill licit Equipped In
Thl Part fiftlm Stnlc.
Today Connolly & Wallace, who for
five years have conducted their dry
goods business at 209 Washington nve
nue, will present for public Inspection
one of the finest equipped store rooms
In Northeastern Pennsylvania, situated
ut Nos. 127 nnd 129 In the new Council
building on Washington nvenue. A
visit to the fitorc last owning, when
the finishing touches to the prepara
tion for todny's opening were being
made by the army of employes, dis
played the full possibilities of this en
ergetic firm, assisted us It now t by
every known convenience to tho carry
ing on of a mammoth business.
The store room Is 40x150 feet In di
mensions, with added space In the rear.
The celling Is high nnd free from un
sightly trolleys and "guy" wires, the
new ensh sjstem to bo used In the store
removing this objectlonnblo feature. In
the rear are the private olllces for 15.
I'. Connolly and 11. C. Wallace, the
firm members, and also the bookkeep
er's department and ladles' fitting
room. The store Is divided Into four
distinct parts, each having sub-sections
for tho display of special goodi.
On tho left upon entering are the
umbrella, notions, rtretst goods and silks
and velvets departments and on the
right gents' furnishings, Indies' hosiery
and underwear, linens and white goods
and domestic cotton goods are shown.
The left center Is taken up with laces,
ribbons, hnndkerchlefs; the right cen
ter with corsets and kid gloves. A
second section has linings, wash goods.
underwear and skirts, and In tho rear
Is the bed department, show Ing com
fortables, blankets, etc. Fuis and
cloaks are In tho L In the rear.
Uy day the stole Is lighted by two
large skylights and by night ton In
candescent aic lights, of an Improved
pattern, and ten six-globed chandel
iers give an effect of natural sunlight.
Tho furnishings are all of haid oak of
a special design.
The Pneumatic Cash system, for the
first time Introduced Into any store
building in this part of tho state, Is a
great lmpiovoment over any other ar
rangement. In operation the system is
wondeiful and will certainly attract
geneial notice. All that can bo seen
of the machine in the stoto room are
the "stations" at each section of the
store and the brass terminal In the
cash department. Tho clerk places a
"caitrldge," as the cash boxes are
called. Into the brass tube at the "sta
tion" and In a second or so the cait
rldge drops into a box on the cashier's
desk.
After change Is made tho cartridge
Is returned as silently and mysterious
ly before. The piopelllng foice Is air,
which 13 forced by a motor and
"blower" Into the tube3 underlying tho
lloor and sending the cartridges at a
terrific speed from point to point. The
longest tube Is 1C0 feet in length and
the "cartildgo" makes tho distance In
less than four seconds. Connolly &
Wallace placed the system In their
store at an expense of $1,000. The
machine is made by the Samson Con
solidated Store Service company, of
Lowell, Mass.

Ills Departed friend.
In ieponse to call by President
James II. Torroy, of the Lackawanna
Law and Library association, the mem
bers of the county bar met In the main
court room at high noon yesterday for
tho purpose of taking fitting action up
on the el.nth of the lamented Hon.
Lemuel Amermnn. Thpre was a very
large attendance of lawyers and many
friends outside the profession were
present to hear and bv their piosonce
second the eulogies pronounced upon
the esteemed departed.
Mr. Torry called the meeting to order
nnd made fitting reference to tho frad
occasion which' hnd called thein to
gether, after which President Judge It.
W. Archbald nominated the enernble
ex-Judge W. G. Ward to act as chair
man. Judge Ward asked to be excused
from presiding ns ho wished to be on
tho lloor and thereupon bv motion of
Major Eveiett Warren, Judge Atch
bald was chosen ns chairman.
On taking the chair Judge Aichbakl
said' 'The suddenness with which the
shocking announcement of Mr. Amor
man's death came unon us makes It
ililTlcult for us to realize fully the re-
giettnble truth. It Is Impossible to me
to odlust nnself to tb" thousht that
we will not see him among us any
meie. Sincerely, It is a great loss. I
well rcmomlier when Mr. Ameiman
came among us some twenty years ago.
Despite the disadvantages of those
times attendant upon a stranger com
ing heie nnd the facilities that we now
have In the practice of our piofesMon
being wanting, he made a most marked
progress piofesslonally and In other di
rections. He pdvanccd from one posi
tion to another both here and through
out the state until ha attained a high
nnd emlable position in society. His
com so at the bar commands the re
spect of both the court and bis fellow
members. His geniality was most
mutked. II was pleasant to meet and
deal with. He was as a lawyer and a
citizen one whose loss the community
mourns sincerely."
JUDGE EDWARDS' TRIBUTE.
Judge Edwards The Hidden and unex
pected announcement of our friend's
death cumo like a thunderbolt from a
clear sky. Wo are almost paralyzed with
surprise, and each of us asks: Am I next?
Bleed with upparent abundant health
tind the plctuio ol manly vigor, he was
stilcken unto death. Dazed with amaze
ment, we feel the power ol voids Is
lost to adequately express our s.iddness
nnd our sjiupathy. One of the leadeis of
tho bar has left U". He rankrd high as
a lawyer. Ho was a thorough student,
lndefatlg.ililo worker, piofound In knowl
edge, quick of application and rich In
tho polish and culture of rlpo scholar
ship. He was honoiable In h's profes
sion nnd private life. Having said that
what more can T say of any man.
I3x-Judge Ward This is not only a
gnat loss to us, but to the whole com
munity, which gieatly esteemed him.
Yesterday ho was In the prime of a ripe,
strong manhood. Now ha Is with us on
tarth no more, forever. But he has left
to us a blight record for emulation, a
pure, stainless life for example. Ho was
u gentleman In the fullest sense of tho
word. He was an upright business man,
an honest, conscientious lawyer, a kind,
lolng husband: affectionate, Indulgent
father, but better than all, a sincere,
bumble, energetic Christian. I know tho
Master has said to him "Come higher."
Judge Gunster I was never so sur
prised or shocked ns when I heard the
news of Mr. Amei man's sudden dcmlso.
I became acquainted with him soon after
ho settled here, and learned to admire
him for his ability nnd sleillng worth,
to which I wish to Join In bearing testi
mony. Ho was a good lawyer, lalthful
to client and comt. By his eainesincs-j
he succeeded In eveiy woik ho ur.dei
took. This was never better iiutuuced
than In his work as state reporter. I'or
tho first tlmo In the hlstury of tho com
monwealth, under his management of ".he
ofllce, opinions wero lepoited as soon as
handed down. This wns a great ndvant
.ige. and ono appreciated by lawyers
throughout tho wholo state.
1'ied W. Fleltz Mr. Amerman was ono
of tho very fow men I knew befoio com
ing to Scranton, and I must sav thit
my enrly stay heu was made pleasant
by tho sunshine of his friendshlu Ills
hospitality and geniality wero not the
least or ins piominent nnd most com.
mendnblo qualities. Ho lead til best
authors and read them well, and his
conveisatlon had a charm that unpolled
to everytr.ng that Is good and true In
man. I feel llko you I have lost a
friend.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
At til's Juncture Mr. Watres, Major
Warren and Mr. Zimmerman, who had
been appointed a committee on resolu
tions, returned nnd made their repoit.
Mr. Watits lending as follows:
The bar of Lackawanna county assem
bled In special meeting directs that tho
following mlnuto l elating to tho sudden
death upon tho seventh day of October,
1SW, of Its honoied and distinguished
membtr, Hon. Lemuel Amermnn, be en
tered upon tho minutes and published In
tho dally papers of Scranton; und that a
copy thereof, suitably engrossed, bo pre
sented to his fatrlly.
Tracing his descent fiom a sturdy, In
dustrious ard Intelligent ancestiy, Mr,
Amerman entered upon life llfty-nne years
ago gifted with exceptional physical and
Intellectual capacities which weio fully
developed by a thorough education In tho
schools and universities of this his nutlvo
state. Three years as professor In 'tho
State Normal School at Mansfield, Penn

mind the knowledge acquired as a student,

I IHE SCMHTOM Ml STORE.
i- t
Ho entered tho study of law under the
most favorablo auspices In tho ottlce of
Hon, Lewis C. Cassldy, ex-attorney gen
eral of tho stato nnd a lender of the bar
of Philadelphia, than which none, In tho
country enjoys n higher leputatlon for
brilliancy and thoroughness. Immediate
ly iiipon his admission to tho bar ho se
lected for his field of activity tho city of
Scranton, then entering upon a peilod
of rapid growth and development, In tho
subsequent progress of which Mr, Amer
man hu been no Inconsiderable factor. Ho
Immediately took a prominent position
at tho bar and In oVery line of religious,
social, Industrial and political activity.
Mr. Amerman was honored by tho com
munity by election and by appointment to
various public positions, almost from 'ho
time of his settlement here. He. has suc
cessively held the offices of county solici
tor, member of tho stnto legislature, city
controller, stnto reporter and member of
congress. Public office was alwnys to him
a sacred public trt'st, nnd every public
duty was discharged with exceptional fi
delity, energy and efficiency. His ability
nnd consclentloiisners were especially con
splcuous in the discharge of administra
tive duties of the severnl offices held by
him.
HIS ItELIGIOl'S CONVICTIONS.
Mr. Amcrman's religious convictions
wero deep and his religious uctlvttlcs
constant and unwearied. Tho sincerity
and humility of his religious life Is evi
denced by the fnct that ho found tlmo
from tho multitude of his public and prl
vato duties to conduct tho affairs of a mis
sion Sunday school up to the day of his
death.
As would bo anticipated from his gifts
and accomplishments ho was In tho high
est senso a si.ccessful man. His pros
perity waa steadily Increasing and sub
stantial yet It had no effect upon the sim
plicity of his dfo or tho earnestness of tils
Industry. To the day of death ho was es
sentially a worker. Indefatigable and tin
Intermitted activity weie tho atmosphere
of his life.
As a lawyer he was conspicuous for tho
breadth of his learning; his complete
grasp of legal principles; his analytical
acumen; and that sturdy common sense
which makes legal learning practical and
which only can save the lawyer from be
coming befogged in tho Intricacies of nice
distinctions. In his lclatlons with the
court ho was always lespectful without
subserviency. To his fe.lons at the bar
ho was coiiteous, conlduiato and com
panionable. While ready to maintain to
the last every right of his humblest client,
ho never failed to observe the amenities
of the profession.
Mr. Amermnn's domestic nnd social life
was most exemplary. Generous, affec
tionate, wise, pure and cheerful ho made
for tho family of which ho was the head
that most elevating and charming of
earthly places, a Christian home.
In the untimely death of Mr. Amerman
our bar loses one of its most honored and
beloved members and tho community one
of Its most distinguished and successful
citizens. Wc e'Xtend to his bereaved 1am
lly our most slncete sympathy and con
dolence In this their sad ntlllrtlon.
Major Wairen moved to adopt the
resolutions. In seconding the motion,
Hon. M. E. McDonald, who for many
years was associated with the deceased
In business, said: "Ho passed away
leaving behind him an example that
can be well followed. He was honest,
tiustw.orthy, energetic. In his early
life, nationality, creed, political affilia
tion, color, never bent his mind a mind
as bioad as the limits of Vila country.
If I had the eloquence of the most elo
quent; the power of the gientest poet,
there Is nothing that could be said or
wiitten that would be more beautiful
than that which I would and tiuthfully
could say of Lemuel Amerman.
HIS LIFE AND EXAMPLE.
Ex-Judge W. If. Jessup We are called
together once moro by the opening of
tho gates of eternity nml their closing on
some ono beloved. We are here to speak
words commemorative of his life. What
Is tho lesson God, In his jnovldence-, Is
teaching us? Wo who aio In life, In
strength. It Is that wo shall bo pie
pared, as ho was, for the future. We.
whoso hulrs are beginning to whiten;
we, who are ilch In the luxuriance or
middle ago or manhood we can all look
at this life as tin example to emulate, n
llto work that wo can follow. A noh'u
Christian man has been translated. Wc
must all In tlmo bo translated. Are we
icady for the translation?
Ex-Lieutenant Governor L. A. Watres
The subject of theso resolutions was
ono of us yesterdny. Today we look upon
him cold In dealth. Yesterday, a fond
wife und loving children wero happy in
his embrace. Today they must lean on
a stronger arm. I daro not trust my
self to tieat of my lelatlons with our
departed friend, Yesterday, ns I held his
almost pulseless hand, there flashed
through my mind tho full leallzatlon of
tho character of tho man as a states
man, citizen, lawyer, father, man, and
I said to myself, be nee-ds no grnnito
column or maiblo slab to perpetuato bis
name. Of broad mind, a ilpo scholar,
able lawyer, dutiful son, devoted hus
band, kind and loving father, a good citi
zen and loyal friend was Lemuel Amer
man. M. J. Martin f, who have benefitted
of his gieat goodness, would be ungrate
ful If I permitted myself to sit hero si
lent, and not add my measure of eulogy
to ono dead friend's worth. I knew him
as student seldom knows preceptor. I
camo to him from school, full of de
finitions nnd rules nnd ho taught mo
principles ns few lawyers can teach them.
Pew lawyers at this bar knew the prin
ciples of law as Lemuel Amerman knew
them. He not only knew them, but was
quick to apply them. Ho studied dili
gently and assiduously and when ho de
volved an opinion It whb as good as law.
Onco he prepaied a case, ho was ready
to defend It ngalnst nny opposition ho
might encounter. No matter how great
ly engrossed ho was, ho always had a
kindly consideration for his students,
nnswerlng their questions as If It was a
pleasure. I knew htm to be a scrup
ulously honest lawyer and a manly man,
a man whom anyone might take as un
example.
On motion of Major Warren, fcecond
rd by Judge Hdwaids, H wns agreed
that the members of tha bar should
attend tho funeral In a body, assem
bling at the court house, one half hour
before tho tlmo for tho funeral.
The funeral will tak place this af
ternoon at 3 o'clock. Services will bo
conducted at tho family residence, C12
Clay avenue. The services will be pub
lic but the Interment which will take
place nt Forest Hill, will be private.
