"Now Is my chance," said the sweet
Summer Olrl,
To the seashore I'll lilo me aay,
Who can tell In the Biddy season's whirl
That I may not catch a Spanish Count
somo day?
The season's amusements are at a
standstill. No one of the few who re
main In the city has even energy
enough to play golf, and the links have
been almost deported the past week.
It has been too hot and dusty to drive,
or to do anything but worry about
keeping cool. Tho trolley cars and. the
soda fountains under a big fan liavo
been the only desirable spots on earth
since Iccbercs were too remote to be
available.

I tried aeveral catarrh cures, but failed to

it a fair trial. After taking a few bottles

DR. S. P. LONGSTREET.
Nearing the End of His First Term as Coroner of
Lackawanna County.
The fact that the many friends of
Dr. S. P. Longstrect nie urging him
to agnln be a candidate or coroner
Is not n matter of surprise to those
who have followed his career during
the past thtee years In that Important
ofllce. It lp no disparagement to hi",
predecessors to say that Dr. Long
street has pioved probably to be the
best coroner who has ever served In
Lackawanna county. Owing to his
lnrce practice it is doubtful If ho can
be induced to again assume the duties
which are so exacting if propel ly per
formed and consume so much time
that could be more profitably employ
ed. It Is certain however that Coroner
Longstieet In the term of ofllce which
Is drewlne to a iloso has made for
himself an oillcial record of which any
man might fi'el proud, and can com
mand a large following should ho
choose to a;jain enter the field as a
candidate.
The Longstreet family upon coming
to this country located In New Jer

removed from New Jersey to Wayne
county. Pa., and there engaged In
farming. Ills son, William R., tho
father of our subject, was engaged In
lumbering there, and followed th'!
same business in Promnton, Wayna
county, Pa., then for nbout Jive yearn
in Moscow, this county, after which
ho went to Erie city, and there en
gaged in the coal business until his
death In 173. He was one of those

A QUEER LITTLE HEN.
There was once a little brown hen,
A dear little, queer little hen.
Her work was to lay
Just one egg every day;
And she did It, this good little hen.
i
She'd fly up In a tree, and right then,
Seated high on a branch, this queer hen,
Her one egg would lay,
Her one egg eveiy day,
This good little, queer little hen.
'Twas a strange thing to do, I must say,
Lay an egg from a tree eveiy day,
And what good was tho egg?
Just tell mo that, I beg
That fell from the tree In that wayT
But some people do things just as queer;
I know it; I've seen It, my dear.
They havo a good thought,
But it just comes to nought;
From the wrong place they drop it, my
dear.
There's a lesson for you and for me
From the hen that laid eggs in a tree
If we do a right thing,
If a good thought we bring,
Let's not choose a wrong place, you and
me. -Cardiff Times.

Samuel Price Longstreet, the next

children, was, born at Hawley, Pa
March -', 1S62, and when young moved
with his parents to Prompton, Mos
cow nnd Erie city. He attended school
four years In the latter rlnce, then
moved Jjack tc Prompton, and after his
father's death attended the Wayne
County Normal school there. He fin
ished his prellmlnaty education at the
stnte normal 'it Mansfield, then taught
for several jvurs in the Wayne county
schools. Having a predilection for the
piofesslon of a physician, and having
spout much of his leisure time in
reading up with tho end in view of
fitting hlmseit for such a sphere he
ertered the office of Dr. L. Kelly, ot
Olyphnnt, In 1870, and studied at in
tervals until 1SS3. when he entered the
olllco of Dr. Hand, of Scranton, and
Inter wns a student In tho medical
department of the University of New
Yoik. After a three years' course
there he graduated with tho degree of
M. D., March 8. ISmJ, and for the next
three years was associated with Dr.
Hand. In May, 1S?9 ho began practice
for himself. In response to the urgent
solicitation of many of his friends ha
allowed his name to be used as a can
didate for coroner, and lite popularity
was shown by tho result of the elec
tion held November 3, 1SD3, by which
he was elected with tho largest ma
jority of nny candidate on tho ticket.

Of ONE WOMAN'S VIEWS.
"It's these women that are making
my hair turn gray," declared the
motorman, as he was resting his tired
feet before starting on the down trip
from Nay Aug park. "They do the
craziest things," ho continued, "and
since they've all got bicycles they're
worse. I'd rather see tho Old Boy him
self coming than a woman on a bicy
cle. You never can tell Just when
she'll decide to cut across In front
and I've never wanted to scoop 'em
up on tho fender, although I will say
that eome of "em deserve It. They
seem to think It's smait to tiy to see
how close to the car they can dodgo
and make a fellow ilng his, bell nnd
lobe his grip with fright, and then
some do wobble so that you don't know
when they'ie going to light under the
wheels."
Women, anyway, whether they have
wheels or haven't, do queer things 03
regards street cars. In tho first place,
they often conduct themselves as if
they were raving maniacs. A glil
down on Washington avenue the other
day wanted to go to Green Ridge, and
she asked a woman at the corner which
car to take. The directions were given
explicitly and the car wns approach
ing. Then that girl proceeded to plant
herself Jn the middle of Spruce street
on the inteisectlon of tho tiacks and
she kept two llnca of cars at a stand
still while her former adviser, tho
conductors and most of the passers
by wero vociferously telling her what
to do as she Idiotically danced up and
down in confusion and perplexity.
But the way a woman performed yes
terday In her Indignation with tho
conductor because he wouldn't give her
a transfer to the Suburban line from
Petersburg until reaching Linden
Btreet was a horrible examplo
of how not to do It. He endeavored
to explain that ho was not allowed to
transfer except at that point, but she
frankly told him that he was a liar
or something to that effect, and she
knew very well his excuses, were all

"I'm Just tired out trying to keep
one woman from being smashed," re
marked a conductor pathetically the
other day, "It's hard enough work" he
went on "to stand on the edge of noth
ing all day and part of the night ring
ing up fares and trying to see in four
different directions, bc6ldes keeping
up the reputation of being a mind
reader and knowing where everybody
wants to get out without them saying
a word, but I didn't contract to hold
women In the car.
"She was bound to stand on the
footboard of a picnic car and all I
could do she wouldn't sit down. Uvery
time we struck a curve I expected
to see her land In the gutter and by
the time we got half way over the trip,
not making any stops, you know, I
was about as crazy as she was. Hvery
little while ehe'd give a yell and every
body expected she was tumbling off.
Tell you what, I was glad when we
stopped for good."
There Is the woman who always
keeps the car waiting as the sails
majestically up, and there Is the one
who carries an umbiella under her
arm. Now, a woman and an umbrella
are a bad combination, when the lat
ter Is under the ami of the former,
especially if you happen to be clamber
ing up behind her and get a vicious
Jab In tho eye.
There, too, Is the one who always
drops things on the car floor or leaves
them on the seat and keeps a relay of
men, including the conductor and
sometimes the motorman, chasing her
to restore the lost belongings. The
only ameliorating phase of this weak
ness in femanlty is that men generally
like to do this for a gracious woman,
and the one who scatters her posses
sions as she moves Is apt to be gracious
from habit. She has learned a little
lesson embodied In this bit of advice:
Never protest when men want to do
things for you from bringing a glass
of water to stopping an express train.
They won't offer their assistance If it
doesn't please them to do so. They
can be very oblivious to a woman s
comfort If they don't happen to want
to do otherwise. If they propose to
render little services don't object
don't refuse, but immediately ac
quiesce. They like It.
But what I staited out to tell was
the queerness of women on street cars.
Perhaps you thought I'd divulged
enough, but I've kept tho worst back
to the very last. They have one habit
that Is really most exasperating and
that is when in a crowded car and one
person alights, the other women In
their vanity will Immediately move and
spread their skirts over the vacant
place, thus keeping out the tired men
hanging on the footboard. The other
evening a man gave up his seat to a
girl. Soon another girl in, the same scat
left the car and Immediately the first
one moved along and settled herself
In the place vacated, where the man
who had risen was about to seat him
self. He looked fixedly at the little
bundle of selfishness and ejaculated
softly; "Well, I'll be ," but the
girl nor anybody else did not quite
catch tho prophetlo remarks which he
uttered. Whatever It may have been,
he was reasonably justified, says
Saucy Bess.

THE PARK MENAGERIE,
The menagerie at Nay Aug park la
an unfailing source of amusement to
the many children who visit It In these
picnic days of vacation. The older
people also find it very interesting and
are seen gazing intently at the vari
ous strange creatures.
Briefly enumerated, the park menag
erie consists of three deer, two rab
bits, five squirrels, a raccoon, two ot
ter, a fox and twelve alligators of as
sorted sizes. To these several objects
of Interest the city Is chiefly Indebted
to Dr. G. E. Hill, who has conveyed
a number of the animals from his win
ter home on Indian River, Fla.
The beautiful deer are In a paddock
close to tho boulevard, where are trees
and several rocks (mostly rocks), Tho
fox Is also In this enclosure, where he
wanders restlessly around, wondering
what It Is all about. The smaller ani
mals are In a spacious cage, where a
series of boxes and a tree trunk, with
extending stumps of limbs afford a
home for the squirrels. Some of these
are of the tropical species and their
odd shaped, meek looking faces and
black and tan coloring present quite a
contrast to those found in the forests
in this vicinity. One of the little crea
tures, the "Brigadier General," so
called because he wants to get some
where else, is endlessly engaged in try
ing to find a hole in the fine wire grat
ing large enough to permit his escape.
The others cling like bats to tho net
ting and look out Inquisitively at the
spectators. '
One, "Dr. Swallow," has a theatrical
pose which he frequently affects, and
In which ho clasps his left paw dram
atically over his heart. "Mrs, Briga
dier General" spends most of her time
on a tree limb taking naps and alter
nately meditating as to whether a war
widow may find more advantages in
Washington or at Bar Harbor.
The alligators are In a mud puddle
across the road, where they are sepa
rated from an admiring public by a
primitive tank composed of wire net
ting and a toboggan of boards. Tho
puddle is unhidden by palms, ferns or
other tropical plants; tho alligators

chiefly reside on the sliding scale above
mentioned, where they rest Indiscrimi
nately, ranging from a baby about big
enough for a card case, to an elderly
personage with spectacles who would
make a nice traveling bag.
This big fellow, "General Weyler,"
has a bad eye and, a way of lifting up
tho top of himself which would be ex
citing were he a few feet longer. Yes
terday he yawned rather amiably for
an alligator of that name, and all the
small children In the vicinity who be
longed to the Sunday school picnic fled
precipitately and told each other that
they were lost.
The General looked bored and casual
ly remarked that his papa was down
on the Cuban frontier and ho was dis
posed to believe would eat a number of
American soldiers before tho close of
the war.
"General Blanco" is a gentlemanly
looking 'gator, with a slightly up
turned nose. He seems to have a
thinking part In the outfit and does llt
tlo talking. In fact the lady alligators
are quite admired by some of the visit
ors, as they are said r have no
tongues. They all smite expansively.
None of these exiles are large enough
to create the scene afforded by the
menagerie alligator at Buffalo the oth
er day. A visitor desired the Saurian
to open hla mouth and accordingly
poked him with a walking stick. The
gentleman Is as yet unable dectde
whether the alligator's mouth came
open or not, for he suddenly landed In
the pool of water, whence a sweep of
the reptile's tall had sent him, togeth
er with his silk hat and stick.
By the way, it may be well to stato
that should you be chased by one of tho
Nay Aug Park alligators, if you will
remember to make hasty turns in your
flight, he won't be nble to catch you.
An alligator's sprinting powers, like
those of Nellie McCrory, aro best when
directed in a straight line. He 1b afflict
ed with a chronic stiff neck, which pre
vents any great alacrity in getting on
to curves.
By tho way, the water in the tank
near tho car terminus seems to have
been obtained from the alligator pud
dle. It Is eminently unfit to drink.
