As wc stated when we made our opening dress goods -announcement, the correct Fashion demands tailor made gowns this season. The fabrics, the cut of the garments and mode of making up all point to this fact, and if for no other reason than to get a full insight into right .stvles for Spring wear, we think it will be well worth your while to' visit our cloak and suit department while the cream of new fashions ideas remains unbroken.

Yesteiday marked the anniversary of fifty-five continuous years ot residence !n this city by ex-Judge WalMngham G Ward, of 12:2 North, Sumner avenue. The subject of this sketch Is now in his seventy-ninth year, lie was botn Oc tober 7. 1819, at Dover Plains, N. Y. Few of the companions of his eailier jeais of residence here, now remain in the cltv and fewer still in West Scran ton Mr AVnul comes of a New Ungland family of rome note. His patents, John Jackson Wnid nnd Cvnthla Slcltler Ward wore prominent lesldents of Do vci Plains. He, himself, was the old est of nine children, five daughters and four sons. Two of his l)i others have attained even greater prominence In the law profession than the Judge. Zcbttlon Mnrcy Ward, of Paterson, N J., Is noted throughout that state. Charles lMwaid Waid, ot Michigan, holds i high place among1 the legal lights of that state. Marsh 17, 1843, Mr. Ward, then 24 j ears of nge left his home to con tend with the world. He came to Slo ctim Hollow, then n hustling village, and settled heie. Among other wavs ot earning a llvellhocd he drove a mule team to haul lumber from Wllkes R.aite to Carbondnle und do other car- ijlng liulriet3 Hven then tho fires of ambition were burning within him and a couple ot law books were his con stant companions. Jinny an hour was spent pursuing the dry pages while he rested his team In a shady spot pn a warm day, or fed them. In the course of tine he mairled a Miss Maria White, of Poughkeepsle, N. Y. Three years later or 1810, after a couise of read'iig under J. L. Alexan der and the late Judge Dann.ot Wilkes llurro, upon motion of Judge Dana Mr. Waul was admitted to practice in the Luzerne county courts. At that time theie wns no Lackawanna county, but when the division was made, having his residence heie he transtenod to tho Lackawanna county bar. He cn Jujs the distinction of being the old est member now living of either bai. The passage ot years hi ought many honots to him. In 1S69 ho was elected Judge of the major's court. This court had a Jurisdiction in the city of Scran ton nnd nil townships nortli and east of Setanton. Thus had he seen old Slocum Hollow fiom a v Hinge glow to a city and became one of Its first couit Judges. He served continuously In the otllce until December, 1875, when such couits were abolished by the state con stitution. In that same jear he formed a law paitnershlp with the piesent Judge H. M. HdwarcU-. In 1877 this partnership was dissolved and George S. Horn became his partner nnd has continued to he ever since. Many of the In vets who have attained legal pi i e In this city read under Mr. nirniB whom might be men tis i udje Gunster, Judge Edwards, e Judge Stanton, George S. Horn nnd otheis. He has been very successful In his caieei. He recently figured up the number of murder trials he has ap peared In and found the number to be ninety-two. Only one went against him nnd that was his first. The man wns hanged. In 1872 his flist wife died, and In 1874 he was man led to Miss Louisa Z Hurlburt, of North Adams, Mass. One son was botn to them, Douglass, who Is associated with him in the law busi ness. This wife died in 1887 The orig inal house which htood upon the loca tion of the present commodious struc ture occupied by Judge Kdwards, on South Main nvenue, was built by Mr. Ward. The pioperty passed from his possession to Mr. Edwards and Mr. Ward took up his residence on North Sumner avenue and still resides theie. Of lecent jeais Mr. Waid has not enjoyed the best of health, but he con tinues In the active practice of the law. He Is a congenial, whole-souled man and Is possessed of a fund of infor mation of the earlier davs of what now is a city of 100,000 Inhabitants. His old legard for West Scrnntnn still remains, though mnny changes have occurred to niter what was once the most beauti ful spot within the city limits. The venerable ex-Judge always easily re calls the day of his arrival here from the fact that It is St. Patrick's anniversary. ho herewith took the opportunity ot tendering thim the prize.
