THIS AND THAT.
"Although hundreds of people visit
Mt. 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."

5 Per Cent. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. The combination wagon 13 for
Relief company, of Petersburg, and
the chemical apparatus for Columbia
company, of the West Side.
