THIS AND THAT.
The last Issue of tho Boston Homo
Journal, a Saturday evening paper of
high standing, contains a full page
likeness of Rev. Dr. Joseph K. Dixon
and quite an extended notice of his
past and present work as preacher and
lecturer. It frays about his work In
Scranton. "His next pastorate was at
Scranton. Pa., where he occupied tho
pulpit of the Penn Avenuo Baptist
church. In 1S9J Bucknell university
conferred upon him tho degree of D.
D. Of late he has become known as a
lecturer, his fame extending both east
and west. He has been called upon
to deliver special addresses before na
tional and state organizations, and has
been also occupied In bi-monthly cor
respondence tor the Examiner, New
York, anc the Watchman, Boston. In
the pulpit, on the platform, ami In his
wi Kings as well, Rev. Mr. Dixon Is
seen to have a command of diction at
once forceful and elegant. Not only,
however, is he a talker of rare power;
he possesses unusual executive ability
and a command of practical detail that
has been shown In all his pastorates.
This executive power has been of vast
use since he has settled in Boston,
for this summer the people of tho War
ren Avenue church have determined to
make radical Improvements in tho fur
nishing and decoration of their church,
and In many of the arrangements tho
excellent taste as well as tho practical
good sense of the pastor have been
shown. Rev. Mr. Dixon la taking a
personal interest in the smallest de
tail of the renovations, which are to
be at once thorough and artistic. It
Is his Intention to have the new War
ren Avenue Baptist church as attract
ive as is possible and still have it com
patible with the uses of a house of
worship."

shake hands with tho next governor
of Pennsylvania,
Ho impressed those who met him last
night as one who can be safely trusted
to wisely administer tho affairs of this
great commonwealth.
Colonel Stone's visit here gives a
evidence of tho character of the mnn.
During the state convention at Hnr
rlsburg, at which ho was honored with

people of tho Btatc. ho was asked by
somo of tho Wayne county represen

ment attendant upon such a conven

gram wns received by Congressman
Connell fiom Colonel Stone, which con
tained tho Information that tho hender
of the telesram would arrive In this
city at S.30 over the Centrnl Railroad
of Now Jersey. It was too late to get
up anything in tin win of a formal
demonstration. Colonel .-"'tone also de
sired to avoid anything of the kind,
and for that reason came quietly and
with as little advance notice as pos
sible. Ho was met when he stepped off tho
train nt the station by Congressman
William Connell, Colonel E. H. Ripple,
Major T. F. Penman, D. W. Powell,
Fred. Fleltz and James L. Connell.

ties the candidates will have reason to
be proud of.
Before the close of the campaign ho
hopes to be able to pay a visit to this
county and speak to tho voters about

HIGH SCHOOL FLAG POLE.
Is On the Ground and Ready to Be
Put in Place.
A flag-polo which will extend 110 feet
above tho ground Is waiting to be put
in position at the High schoel build
ing, corner of Washington avenuo and
Vino street. The pole wns secured
after a long period, during which Its
presenco there was advocated by tha
board of control.
Much difficulty was experienced In
finding a pole suitable to grace such
a handsome property. At one tlmo Con
troller Gibbons advocated a steel pole
and the purchase of one was seriously
contemplated. As many as two spe-
nlnl orttnmlHppn wpro flnnnlnteri in in.
I V8tlgate the cost of the pole, of wood
or steel, and twlco tho matter was re
ferred to regular committees until tho
project beenmo a standing enut-c for
Joking and bantering whenover It was
mentioned.
The high nnd training school com
mittee flnnlly hnd the matter In charge.
Mr. May, controller of tho Ninth ward,
who generally accomplishes what ho
undertakes, agreed to llnd a suitable
pole nnd his offer was accepted. Ho
found two trees nt Pleasant Mount
from which tho pole wns made. The
two pieces were Bhaped nnd spliced and
aro rendy to bo raised.
Delay hns been experienced In put
ting the polo in place on account of
tho surfneo rock In tho corner of the
school ynrd wherp tho polo will bo sta
tioned. It will have to be drilled out.
Into the drilled hole will bo set two
pieces of timber bolted to and extend
ing above a third piece. The polo will
bo bolted to tho two extensions. Some
reremony will probably attend tho first
raising of a flag, but that Is something
which haB not been definitely decided
upon.
TROUBLE IS ALL OVER.
Satisfactory Arrangement Between
Cadden and His Men.
A satisfactory settlement of the
trouble between Contractor M. A. fnd
den and his men wns arranged yes
terday hy J M. Knowlton, business
agent of tho Carpenters' union nnd
work went on as usual yesterday on
the building on Noith Washington
avenuo. Henceforth Mr, Cadden will
pay his employes on tho fifth nnd
twentieth of each month.
Sir, Cadden said yesterdnv that his
men had not demanded their pay from
him before they struck or It would
have been given to them. Ho hns al
ways employed union hands 'd In
tends to continue to do so. With ref
erence to his trouble with L. B. Quick
which resulted in his arrest, ho said:
Sir, Quick camo to my homo last
night nnd demanded his pay which
was previously attached by a boarding
order which he had given. Quick
worked tor me as a carpenter, al
though not a union man, and when
he asked for the money ho said he
would 'got it or take it out of my hide.'
He would not leave my homo when
ordered nnd I had to drive him away.
I struck him with my fist and not with
a billy ns reported and left him nlono
when he got outside my premises."
JULY WAS VERY WARM.
Figures, the Accuracy of Which Are
Vouched for by H. E. Pnine,
Local Weather Observer.
Nobody will take very kindly these
days to tho reminder that It Is hot,
very hot. Figures aren't needed to
prove the assertion, but If such proof
was necessary It could be obtained for
the asking from H. E. Paine, the gov
ernment's local weather observer.
Mr. Paine's house at the extreme end
of Madison avenue Is well shaded and
so comfortably situated as to arouse
a feeling almost of spite In the breast
of hcat-sufferlng humanity on any of
these broiling days. It Is there that
Sir. Paine Jots down tho pocularlties
of the weather several times a day for
the seeming purpose of dishing out
the result with undue cheerfulness at
tho end of every month. He had great
oppoitunlty during July to prepare for
getting In his fine woik.
July wns a hummer, according to Mr.
Pulnc's records which aro kept under
the most conservative conditions. The
highest point reached by tho thermom
eter was 9S degrees on July 3, but the
month showed Its versatility and dis
position to please everybody by creep
ing down to 43 degrees on July 10.
The mean temperature was 71.93. The
mean maximum, that Is, the average
temperature above 74.93, was 86.51, and
tho mean minimum was G3.33. The
average range was 23.22 degrees per
day and the greatest range was 34 de
grees on July 1G when tho mercury
shifted from 5," to 89 degrees, an aver
age of 72 on that day. July 25 showed
the least range, 12 degrees.
Tho month was remarkably free from
rain. Only 2.69 Inches fell, and tho
greatest precipitation In any 24 con
secutive hours was .93 of an Inch last
Saturday.
There were 16 clear days, 10 partly
cloudy and 5 cloudy. On only 6 days
did more than .01 of an Inch of rain
fall. Tho only thunderstorms were on
July 4 and 30. Of the 6 rainy days four
were after the 19th.
As a month which furnished the ex
tremes and a little of everything, July
1898, outclassed tho corresponding
month last year. The thermometer
last month as compared with July,
1897, registered 3 degrees higher on the
hottest day and S degrees lower on the
coolest. The mean temperature was
2.49 degrees higher. There was 2.31 in
ches less rainfall and 8 more clear days.
Rain fell on 13 days In July, 1897, as
against C days last month.
Last month's prevailing wind direc
tion was southwest while It was south
east a year ago indicating the rule
that east winds and rain are partners.
It was observed, too, last month that
the rainfall was the greatest on days
when the range of the thermometer
was least.

GARMENT WORKERS ORGANIZE.
Freeman Overall Factory Employes
Join tho U. G. W. of A.
"Trade Unionism" was the subject
of an address delivered Slonday even
ing to tho Building Trades council by
Henry White, of New York city, secre
tary and treasurer of the United Gar
ment workers of America. Mr. White
has been closely Identified with organ
ized labor for many years and Is well
fortified by his experience and tech
nical study to speak in a convincing
and interesting way.
Mr. White on Slonday afternoon
unionized the garment workers of the
Freeman Overall factory. He was as
sisted by P. J, Thomas and P. G.
Moran, of this city. Officers were
elected and arrangements made to send
a delegate to the next Federation meet
ing. Mr. White tald the systematlo
work of organizing throughout tho cast

New York city yesterday morning.
MAY GET A WIFE.
John Urweider's Hunt for One May
Be Successful.
John Urweldcr, who made application
for a wife to the Associated Chlritles
agent, may be successful. A West Side
woman, a German, the nationality pre
ferred by Urweldcr, has written the
agent and the letter was referred to
the wife-seeker for further investiga
tion. Several women, any of whom, It was
thought, might meet with favor In
Urweider's eyes, have been made ac
quainted with his quest but none of
them was willing to take matrimonial
chances. ,
CONNELL BUILDING

MANY APPLICATIONS MADE
FOR OFFICES.

tionNames of Somo Tenants Al
roady Occupying the Oilices A
Great Ornament in tho City.
Tho Connell building has been com
pleted nnd is now ready for occupancy.
As can bo seen Its advantages arc
bringing numerous tenants. It Is in
every respect a credit to tho city
and to its architect, L. C. Holden.
In desirability of loratlon, perfection
of dstnll, eleganco of appointments
and consldeiatlon as to benuty and
modern utility, It probably surpasses
anv other office structure In this region.
The rich and classic exterior naturally
appeals to the observer at once. Al
though eight stories in height the no
ble pioportlons glvo no effect of undue
altitude tho great frontage of ono
hundred foot adding much to Its mass
ive and substantial appearance.
Tho large court within affords un
usual opportunities for light and air,
and tho outlook in this direction has
none of tho s-ordld and unlovely ac
cessories usually obtained from the
ordinary court.
Tho entrance Is a special feature with
Its handsome tiling nnd costly fittings.
At night when tho beautiful torch
chandeliers nro nglow, the broad por
tal and hallway attract much admira
tion. The elevators at tho rear ure
perhaps the most satisfactory In the
city In smoothness of transit and
safety. It will bo remembered that
some tlmo ago they were subjected
to an unusual test which fullv dem
onstrated tho Impossibility of Injury
to passengers in the event of a break
In machinery or ropes. They ure op
erated by a hydraulic system and are
in duplicates In every detail. They aro
run until 10 o'clock nt night and later
If tenants desire.
FIREPROOF BUILDING.
The building is fireproof and such
care has been given to details of wir
ing that it is Impossible for the elec
tricity to produce a conflagration. No
outside wires enter, as all telephone
and messenger lines nro brought in by
conduits from tho street to every of
fice. Fireproof vaults and individual
safes also afford ample accommoda
tions for the tenants. There are ahout
one hundred and twenty offices which
may be used ensulte, In pairs or singly.
They are very spacious and pleasantly
arranged, In somo cases being grouped
around largo ante-rooms. All are fin
ished In oak and richly paneled. There
nro no dark rooms In the entire build
ing and much attention has been paid
to ventilation. The tenants aro pro
vided with steam heat and electric
lights from the plant on the premises,
where machinery Is duplicated for
emergencies. Surerlor Janitor servlcu
Is also given, while automatic post-
boxes are found on all floors. The
elaborate electric apparatus was fur
nished by the Scranton Electric Con
struction company.
The upper stories seem to be greatly
in demand because of the advantage
of coolnesa In summer. One of tho
handsomest suites Is that of E. L.
Fuller and the Retsof Sllnlng compani
on the eighth floor, whoso Ave room
