Yeager annually, few are aware that one of Its most secluded spots shields a hermit," says the Hazleton Standard. "Tho name of the individ ual Is August HllsenbecL'er, a well pre served German, 63 years of age. When a scribe was directed to his place sev eral days ago, the aged recluse wa3 busily engaged. He was at llrst loath to give the scribe and his companion an audience, but on second thought ho Invited them to be seated, and a con versation on general topics followed, during which sullicicnt information was gleaned to convince one that Mr. Hilsenbecker was either disappointed In love and haB chosen this s-.pot to end his remaining days, or else ne committed some deed and chose this spot as a hiding place. In answer to a question he stated that he had resided on the mountain twenty-one years, and Blnce then has not permitted it wo man to enter his domain. He does his own cooking, and would positively not eat anything prepared by female hands. After traveling through every state In the Union,' Bald he, 'I camo across this spot, and decided that it was the nicest place In nil this world. I purchased fifty acres of land which I have tilled year after year always realizing sufficient to keep my cows and obtain a livelihood myself. like comipany, but I don't care about any one calling upon me, for after they depart It Is so much harder for mo to live alone.' "This quaint old recluse resides In a email hut, pos&ibly 14x20 feet. This hut contains a bed, a cupboard and a 3tnail library. About fifty feet from the hut is the barn. Both of these structures are as? quaint as the owner, and tho barn besides, being weather beaten con tains a roof ma - entirely of Btraw. This has frequent been repaired and he is even now thi "ns of having It replaced with a shlnMO roof. He cui all his own hay with a 3eythe that has been In his possession ever since he took up his present abode. He pos sesses no wagon, and carries all hla hay with a rope, Just an they did In Germany years ago. It generally lakea him six wepks to harvest hla hay crop, and when queried as to why he had no wagon, he replied: 'X would not think of permitting- my cows to eat hay that was housed on a wagon.' So well Is ho Hidden from the uutslrto world that even the assessor of the township did not know whero he re sided up to two years ago. At thut time ho walked all the way to White Haven, woa registered and eaat his that vote In America. Once a month he desertfl his secluded home and goes to Freeland to obtain coffee, oatmeal, etc, In exchange for butter. He is well read and speaks English llucntly, hut 6j far as his past life Is concerned, he will say nothing. 'When the pcrlbo departed h bade him a hearty fare well and Invited him to call again." The term of service of Dr. N. E. Newbury, house surgeon at the L.tcku wanna hospital, expired yesterday.

Gold Bonds at 05. Some of the most conservative finan ciers in the Wyoming Valley have been liberal subscribers to the First Mort gage and Collateral Trust Bonds of tho New Mexico Hallway and Coal Co. The announcement Is made that the cumpany's railroad (the El Paso and North Eastern) has been completed to Alnmagordo. &5 miles, where it taps the great timber region and opens up the farming nnd fruit lands of La Luis and Tularosa. The fact that the busi ness of the road has already reached a volume that more than equals the es timation of the management, speaks well for their shrewdness as huslness men. What the profits of the com pany will be when the vast deposits of coal nt Salado ran be drawn on. can only be conjectured. It Is evident, how ever that there is no lack of security for the bonds. The wonder Is that they can now be had at 95. Wyoming Seminary. This Is one of the great preparatory schools of tho Union. Its material equipment is hardly surpassed. Boys arid girls are thoroughly fitted hero for any college. The school gives to Klrls advantages of a high order In ornnmcntul branches.

GROWS IN INTEREST WITH EACH DAY INSTRUCTORS HEARD AT SIS TEES' INSTITUTE YESTERDAY. Prof. George Howell Gave an Inter esting Talk on Words That Were Pull of Thoughtful Suggestions. Prof. Walsh, of Brooklyn, Is Un able to Attend Because of Serious Illness In His Family Open Dis cussion Over the Relative Merits of Graded and Ungraded Works. The Sisters' Institute Increases In In terest as the days go by. Mrs. Burke has a wide knowledge ot many topics nnd always speaks In a pleasing man ner. Miss Burke Is a very attractive young woman, nnd has a distinctly chnrmlng way of presenting dry sub jects. Her fund of anecdotes applic able to tho matter in hand is lnexhaus tlbleand always Illustrative of some excellent point. Miss Burke Is the critic of several grades in the State Normal school nt Buffalo. She Is well known throughout New York ns an able Instructor ut etntc institutes. Yesterday morning the first period was taken up with an open discussion of the relative merits of graded and ungraded schools. Tho Sisters took nn active part In the discussion. Mrs. Burke gave strong argument? In fa vor of a relaxation of the cast-Iron Bystcm of grades. Parochial schools, she said are to bo commended in that when a pupil is ready for promotion ho Is promoted. She also produced the testimony of many well-known educa tors in support of her views. It was announced that the absence of Professor Wnlsh, of Brooklyn, wns due to serious Illness In his family. After Intermission Miss Burkp spoke entertainingly nn geography. She be lieved a "rational" or "comparative" geography, and did not approve of re ducing the study to mere memorizing. Open air lesions and actual observa tion should precede definitions. Her suggestions as to maps were valuable. Hare outlines are enough for begin ners. Physical geography may be taught by a close observation of na ture. GREETINGS HEAD. Greetings were read from the Sisters of Mercy In Rochester and from Mrs. Mary T. Monahan, who was an instruc tor at Inst year's Institute. Professor George Howell, of the Scranton schools, then gave nn Interesting and most In structive talk on "Words." "Style," he said, "Is merely the put ting of proper words In the proper placet. Style Is tho reflection of the mind in words. In his words In you find a photograph of tho man. John son's style Is like the man, heavy and rugged; Hallam's words nre awkward squads that run nnd stumble before the command to fire; Webster's words are thunderbolts that demolish nnd crush whatever Is in their path: Jef fries' words are stilettos; Longfellow's wards are gentle, like the queen's gunrds in full regalia. Words are not so much breath, but are real things with power to destroy the strongest fortifications or to defend the weakest. Words are not empty symbols. They are governed by natural laws. As the weak and poor perform the drudgery in life so In the realm of literature words that are weak and poor per form the slavish toll, the uncertain service." There arc many words overworked in the language of every day. Among these the small "on" and "up." do en tirely too much. HISTORY OF WORDS. In continuing his subject he spoke eloquently of the history of words and the Intense interest in Its study. In Illustration he mentioned the Saxon "vr," meaning to twist, nnd quoted "wrench, wrestle, wrinkle, wrap, wrong," etc. He earnestly advocated the study of the classics and marveled that any scientist could proceed In his work without a knowledge of Greek. If the history of a nntlon were lost, Mr. Howell said, a now hlstc-v could be compiled from the names spread over the country. As an illustration ho mentioned the French names from the Great Lakes to the mouth of tho Mis sissippi, the succession of Spanish ap pellations nnd In Now England the English names often to be found. Words, like men, are Inconsistent, constantly changing, nnd he showed how the word corpse In Surrey and Chaucer'B time meant the liveliest per Hon at a funeral. Bombast once signi fied a package of cotton. Today it means an inflated speech. The word tale in the German Is to count. When wo sing: Every Shepherd tells his tale Under the hawthorn In the vale. visions of the milkmaid reed not nrlse. The couplet means simply that tho shepherd is counting his aheep under tho hawthornc. Oth'-r words were analyzed, after which the superintendent referred to the strength and beauty of Anglo Saxon words and closed with a quota tion from Eugene Field, who had n due appreciation beautifully expressed of the Anglo-Saxon, MISS BURKE ON GEOGRAPHY'. Miss Burke continued with tho sub ject of Geography, giving a most In teresting talk on the history of bound aries which would interest the chil dren. Among these were the bound aries of states and how thev came to have their peculiar outlines. The little curve whero Delaware Joins Pennsyl vania was made by arbitrators when to decide the matter a point of the compass was set In a bend of the river which described the arc now on our map. Other details of state outlines followed. She advocated study with the open book and teaching the chil dren how to find out for themselves In stead of memorizing so much material. The reasons and Importance of mer idians and parallels of latitude and longitude were given. She spoke of the design for using 360 degrees as a basis as tho number Is a multiple of every digit except 7. She believed that the Idea of making artistic maps lacks educational value. The children should first draw mere outlines, making tho map for themselves and thus not be ing confused with the multiplicity of details. Mrs. Burke then took the platform and spoke on Grammar, giving many valuable suggestions for the beginning of tho study. At the conclusion of her talk she addressed the Sisters for a few minutes, urging their co-operation In establishing mothers' meetings. OFFICERS WHITE LILY TEMPLE.

At Lake Ariel yesterday the Scran ton Lodge of Elks held their annual outing. The rain storm during the middle of tho day interfered somewhat with the attendance, but notwithstand ing that drawback there were Between fifteen nnd eighteen hundred persons on the ground, during the afternoon. Bauer's band furnished music for dancing, and during the afternoon gave a delightful concert that was much appreciated. A large delegation of Wilkes-Barre Elks came up to Join In the celebration of their Scranton breth ren, i Among the oxrutslonlsts were tho most representative business and pro fessional men ot the city. LETTER FROM CHAPLAIN. Has Reference to Sending Home tho Pay of Soldiers Who Aro Now at Camp Alger. From Chaplain N. F. Stahl. of the Thirteenth regiment, the following self-explanatory letter, relative to for warding home the pay of soldiers, has been received hero by Secretary D. B. Atherton, of the executive committee of the Soldiers' Relief association: Camp Alger. Dunn Lorlng, Fairfax Co., Vu., July 25, UM. To Mr. 1). II. Atherton, Secietary Sol diers' Relief Association of Scranton. My Dear Mr. Atherton: Your favor relating to the sending of money tor the soldle-s Is nt hand and 1 hi've the pleas ure of spying that Major Charles It. Parke, of Scranton, 1ms Mildly con sented to receive moneys trom tho sol diers for their families and to transmit the list with names and respective nmounts with check for total to you to bo by you distributed. Shnll I announce this arrangement In the regiment prior to next pay day7 Very rttpectlully ours, N. V. Stahl, Chaplain, Thirteenth Regiment, V. V. 1. At the last meeting of the commit tee the suggestion that tho committee and Chaplain Stuhl net as mediums in delivering soldiers' pay to their fam ilies was considered and referred to the secretary for Investigation. The sec retary communicated with Chaplain Stahl with the foregoing result. A meeting of the committee will be held this afternoon, when the proposition will probably be favorably considered. Tho plan serves two purposes: It encourages the soldiers to save even small s'ums for the benefit of needy relatives and, to nn extent, relieves tho committee considerably in a financial way. Tho Wllkcs-Barre relief associa tion recently adopted the plan and re ceived $4,000 from the soldiers in the field through their chaplain after the first pay-day following. Since tho last meeting of the Scran ton association aid has been given to twenty-two families and about $150 has been distributed. CLAIMS FOR BENEFITS. Considered at a Meeting of the Scranton Firemen's Relief As sociation Held Last Night. Last night's meeting of the Scran ton Firemen's Relief association' was almost wholly devoted to discussing tho legitimacy of claims of firemen sick or injured before the Incorporation of the organization and who have pre sented or will present claims ns bene ficiaries at tho association's fund. The claim of Chief P. J. Hlckev, of tho fire department, for $50 was ap proved and paid. He is tho first mem ber of the association to bo paid for Injury or sickness. He was trampled upon and seriously injured on June 30 by n team of fire department horses. Twenty-one days previously the asso ciation received Its chnrter. Chief HIckey was one of the most active spirits in permanently orgjlzing the association and Is Its president. S. B. Price, of Columbia county, was Injured on Janunrv 1 and was Incapaci tated for twenty-one days. His claim of $12 was presented and referred to the board of directors and City Solic itor McGlnley, who Is the attorney of the association, for consideration. It was the general opinion, however, that firemen injured subsequently to tho date of organization, August 13, 1S7, but previous to the Incorporation, Juno 9, 1S9S, could not receive benefits. Considerable depends on the disposi tion of the Price case from the fact that the cases of many firemen sick or Injured subsequent to August 13, 1SD7, as a result of fire duty, may present claims, The total Involved In these cases amounts to nearly $2,000. None of these possible beneficiaries, how ever, has presented a formal written claim. CLARK AND SUYDAM NAMED. Will Represent the Scranton Typo Union at I. T. U. Convention.

On first ballot Mr. Clark received an unani mous vote and was declared elected. Mr. Moran withdrew on the sc-ond ballot and tho result was the selection of Mr. Suydam as second choice.

NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE AS YET SLAYER OF JOSEPH SANTORO IS STILL AT LIBERTY. Warrants for the Arrest of Raphael Pascere nnd Antonio Grlecco Were. Yesterday Placed in tho Hands of Warden Simpson and Deputy Sheriffs Thompson nnd M'Goldrick They Returned Last Night Without Their Prisoners. Pascere Is nt His Home. No murderer In this or any other county has had a better chance to es cape than the man who killed Band master Joseph Santoro, of Old Forge. Deputy Sheriff Frank E. Ryan sent for Theodore Santoro, the dead man's cousin, yesterday forenoon and asked him If it was true he could not get constables In Old Forge to serve the warrant swum out for Raphael Pas cere and Antonio Grlecco unless he paid them high prices. Mr. Santoro answered In the affirmative. Mr. Jtyan ordered Warden Simpson and Deputies Thompson nnd McGould rlck to proceed to Old Forge and serve the warrants. They went down early In the afternoon and returned in the evening without their prisoners. They went to Old Forge and could have arrested Grlecco. He was at San toro's funeral, which was held at 2 o'clock. The King Humbert band led the funeral procession. Services were conducted nt tho Italian Catholic church by Rev. Father Gislon. Inter ment wns made in St. Joseph's ceme tery, Mlnooka. There was a large as semblage at the funeral. Grlecco came to Cerundro's houso and took u last look at the dead man. Ho gazed with out any ngttatlon at the body and at tended the funeral all the way to the cemetery. Mr. Santoro, of Long Island, in formed a Tribune reporter that Pas cere may be arrested today. Pascere was at work Tuesday and yesterday and stays home In the evenings. He has made no effort to escape. On the other hand the friends of tho dead man allege that each succeeding day since the murder has brought ad ditional proof of Pascere's guilt. They said last nlcht that two women can testify positively to having seen San toro and Pascere together walking In the direction of Old Forge about a half hour before the murder was com mitted. They havo two other wit nesses, they say, to prove that Pas cere bought the ax early Monday morn ing at a store in Mooslc. The cuts were so clean that the ax must have been very sharp. Meanwhile, Pascere stoutly maintains his Innocence. CANDY SERVICE TONIGHT. Will Be Held at the Rescue Mis- sion Rooms. H. J.

FIRE APPARATUS AWARDS. Joint Commltteo Unanimous in Its Recommendations. At a meeting of the Joint fire depart ment commltteo of councils last night a report was adopted recommending that tho contracts for a new chemical apparatus and it combination hoee and chemical wagon be awarded to Charles T. Holloway, of Baltimore. Tho report was adopted unanimously and signed by all the mem bens of tho Joint fonunltteo despite the fact that The Fire Extinguisher Manufacturing company (Babcock), of Chicago, sub mitted proposals lower than those ot tho Holloway people. The Babcock and Holloway bids were $1,401 onl $1, 470, respectively, on the combination wagon, and $1,175 and $1,200 on the chemical apparatus. While It was a foregone conclusion that a majority of tho commltteo fa vored a Holloway award, It was some what of a surprise that there was no minority to recommend the Babcock bids. The proposals were submitted on city specifications. A third com pany, the Racine Fire Engine com pany, submitted proposals of $1,400 and $!,300.
