Over nil the city has rested the omin ous cloud of war, and tho departure of the regiment Wednesday night was scarcely the climax, for the anxiety of the succeeding days of gloomy skies and chill air has been intense.

Yesterday's Wilkes-Barre Times. g ONE WOMAN'S VIEWS. g There was a large party of patriotic but disappointed young women who with their friends had selected an ex cellent spot from which to view the departure of the troops on Wednesday night. This was a prominent business place on Lackawanna avenue, from the wide windows of which the street parade could be seen to great advant age. They waited for some time, watching the mighty throng surge past the doors. When renewed cheering signalled the approach of the regiment, they eagerly bent every thought to the effort of distinguishing their friends a 5 they should pass. Just at this pre cise moment along came three cars, whose exceptional length never be fore seemed wo extensive, and lined themselves up In front of that particu lar store, and the soldier boys passed by on the other side. Perhaps there wasn't a general groan of uismuy from the occupants of the windows. Per hups street cars and all that pertains thereto were not unathemlzed nnd the utter hopelessness of the case was not appreciated in all Its serlo-comlo phases. One young woman describing tho scene said dolorously. "And we couldn't even see their guns and they nover know where we were at all!" A youngster belonging to the party was exceedingly wrought up over the matter. He had provided himself with Hags for the occasion and had planned a programme for himself when his par ticular soldiers cume along. To say he was disappointed, was to give a very tame hint as to his state of mind. The street car people ought to be ar rested, the crowd ought to push tho cars along and various other means of redress appealed to his fertile mind. He finally decided to write a very strong letter to Mr. Sllllmun and all the con solation of his unsatisfactory evening consisted In mentully composing the epistle which should disturb the calm of the courteous general manager. The next morning the letter was duly written nnd sent. It rontulned a very stern remonstrance ugalnst such high handed proceedings on the part of the street car company, stated that the crews on these particularly obnoxious cars ought to be dismissed and a pub Ho apology from the company should be made. Tho letter terminated with the Information that the writer was the editor of a paper on tho Hill, and that If somo amends were not made a scathing denouncement of the Ini quitous performance of th company on such a patriotic occasion would bo duly shown up. Tho llttlo editor's righteous Indigna tion changed to an anomaly of sensa tions when hu received u prompt reply from Mr. Sllllmun couched In dignified and Injured terms, and Implying a suit for libel ngalnst tho paper named, unci requesting him to address all further communications to his lawyer, Mr. Everett Warren. There have been nu merous confidential conferences be tween the newspaper "man" and tho lawyer nnd Just what tho outcome will bo the public Is anxious to know. ik People will talk for ninny a day about tho crush of Wednesday night. There have boon crowds In Scrunton on other occasions, but never nnythlng npproachlng tho massing of people on the central thoroughfares had ever been experienced. Women were nlmost torn In pieces at tho station und tho wonder Is that children In tho throng were not entirely crushed. One wo man became separated from her party and found herself clinging to a rough looking man who looked savage enough to bite. iShe couldn't see a soul she knew and she couldn't get nwuy from the frowning lndlvldunl against whom she was rushed by tho mob. Finally ho put out 'a muscular nrm clnd In the shabby, soiled garb of n worklngman and put It around her.' She was ready to scream with fright, but it soon bo came evident that he was keeping her frail form from being annihilated. Then, with the other fist, ho made a number of energetic movements, freed himself and his companion from tho immediate crush and half carried, half dragged her to a more open space, where he presented her to her frlendt with as courtly a bow ns was possible under the circumstances. "And to think I took him for a 'bruiser.' " she said, after she had recovered her breath. "He Is the nicest gentleman I ever met, nnd I do not even know his name." a The people who went to that station laboring under tho hallucination that they were to have ample opportunity to present parcels and boxes in general to their soldier friends were the dis appointed people. Perhaps some of the things reached the ones for whom they were destined, but more did not. A lovely fresh chocolate cake, baked by a fair maid as a surprise for her sol dier boy, was the cause of more sur prise for other folks nnd more profan ity in general than probably any other incidental of tho occasion. She bore it with much difficulty to the station and, with a younger brother, was pitched onto tho platform by some kindly dis posed bystander, where she and the cake landed full against the portion of a police officer commonly defined by his belt. Some of the top layer was transferred to the said belt. The ex cited girl cried a little, but she rea soned, "Teddy always did so enjoy her chocolate cake," when he supped with her family on Sunday "nights, nnd he might be glad to get, the two remain ing portions Intact; for tho "filling" was nice and soft, :just as he liked it, A swell-looking young woman In a new spring hat found it so, although not especially to her liking, 'for just then somebody knocked the enko girl's el bow and she sent her sweet burden up with a sudtien'toss that dribbled choco late iftltlng-over'the'sprlng hat and down upon the Immaculate ard lofty collar. Then the second layer fell to the plat form, pleasantly sticking to the sur rounding multitude as It went. Then people stepped on R and there was a wild attempt at skatlns, which the crowded condition somewhat Impeded, and everybody wondered If somebody had been mashed, and this was the sllpperiness of gore. More women grew hysterical, and really what was the end of the entire mission of that choco late enko I am unprepared to say. .One thing Is sure, a certain handsome guardsman Is not enjoying Its delect able richness this day. Ono mother was heard to wail In rterpalr. "Oh. me, oh, my! hero's Jlm mle'fi other flannels and whatever will he do without "cm." Still another shrieked, "I started to bring our Tom five loaves of currant bread that he likes, and it Is scattered all the way from here to Pine street," A pretty girl was waving over her head an amazing sofa pillow bravely embroidered with ovvord and gun, and when she finally reached her sweetheart's sld-. It had been n door mat for some minutes and looked accordingly beautiful. Ono good looking officer went off with a rare red rose against his blouse that had been "brought for another. It matched tho color of tho roses on the cheeks of a maiden who looked back through the window. "Well' any way," she said to herself, "I couldn't get to Will and this sodler looked as If lie wanted it." There, were flowers galore over that platform. They were mingled with cookies, home-made taffy, oranges as If tney had been under a trip hammer, stockings, photographs, cuff's, collars, and other sundries. Funny, wasn't It? But ah, me, there Is pathos beneath the eomedv, for all these tender relics meant tho love and tender thought of some heart aching under a burden of anxiety and misery. Again, this Is war. Saucy Bess. UV.ll CASE WAS IJItGKNt". Love for the Old Man Needed Much Strengthening. It was an elderly colored woman, with a determined nlr, whom the phy sician found waiting in his olllce. "Want to see me aunty?" he In quired. "Yussuh; I'se been, wnltln' huyh foh mils' an hour." "Are you sick?" " "Deed I Is." "What Is it this time, chills or tover." "No. 'Taint chills nn' fever, nor ylt rheumatism. But I'se pow-ful Hick, nn" I wants a puhserlptlon. I wants you ter see ef yoh kaln't put me up er love chain. I was gain' to a reg' lar chnlim doctuh, but I wanted ills here job done puh'tlciar, an' I doesn't like ter trust It tor anybody, 'ceppln' somebody wif book knowledge." "Why, aunty! The Idea of a woman of your nge having any such nonsen sical Ideas! I'm ashamed of you." " 'Taint no nosenslcallty," she stur dily protested. " wants yer to make It strong, "case It's gwlno ter take a mighty pow'ful dose ter Vompllsh any good," "Is anybody trying to run oft with your husband?" " 'Deed dey isn't. Der ain't anybody wif dat little sense." "You surely aren't trying to win tho uffeotlons of anybody else?" "No, sub. 1's won mo' "fectlons dun I knows whut ter do wit now." "For whom do you want this charm, then?" "Foh me. I's gwinter take It myse'f. I's done married tie mnn, an' it's mer duty ter put up wif Ms no-countness. It's him dat Va sick of. I's sitting ter dislike 'lib mo" and mo'j an' ef I doesn't take medlclno ft- It inlghty.soon dah's gwinter be trouble." Washington "Star."

Dr. Joseph K. plxon, tho newly elected pastor of Warren nvenuo Bap tist church, preached his first sermon yesterday morning to a large congre gation. His toplo was "Anointed for Service." The sermon was a powerful Hpppnt to his people for nctlvu and 7ealous co-operation with the Holy Spirit for concecratlon work In the churcK Ho said the Holy Spirit com Plted the life of tho individual and created human chnracter. Tho Holy Spirit was a panoply In tho war of the church with the world, and It wns only by Its power that success was Insured Injr bringing In the kingdom of God. It wns n vigorous sermon, full of illustra tion nnd quotation with an opt use of anecdote. Dr. Dixon comes to Boston with a high reputation as a brond guage preacher, who devotes more time to the humanities than to doctrine. "His last pastorate was at the Penn Avenue Baptist church In Scranton, Pennsylvania, where ho rroved himself an energetic minister of the gospel and faithful pastor. Ho was nlso pastor i.t the Epiphany church In Philadelphia lor six years. Ho Is 42 years of age, and was educated at Williams college an 1 the Rochester theological seminary. Dr. Diyon has a fine appearance on the platform and has an excellent stylo of delivery, somewhat marred, however, "by a too frequent reference to his notes. He Is likely to nrov a worthy successor of Rev. Robert Mac Donald, the late pastor, ns he has much of Mr. MacDonald's personal rnugne tlsm. Ho Is said to be an able organizer, and ho has been successful in Sunday school work. Ho is marled and has three children. "Tho church will tender Dr. and Mrs. Dixon a reception next Wednesday evening. Dr. Dixon will be Installed Wednesday evening.
