55 THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1898. WHITNEY'S WEEKLY BUDGET OF NEWS Epahmer wainwright's span iel IS A MUSICAL CRITIC. JTree Methodist Camp Mooting at Ararat McKuno Family Reunion. Tho Conferees at Towauda Chil dren Who Do Not Mention tho Name of tho Evil One Tho Pass ing Show One More Useful Cat. Boeclal to the Scranton Tribune. Susquehanna, Pa., Aug. 23. Fannei Walmvrlght, of Brookdnle, has a can lno musical critic, which bids fair to attract considerable attention. Tho phenomenon Is a female Spaniel called roodle. rarmcr Walnwrlght, who is considerable of ti musician, noticed the peculiarity of his pet, and set about to educate her. By sulking tho animal whenever music was played and a false note was struck, she s.it up a loud bark. At last the threat ot the upraised Htlck was equnlly effective, presently a glance of the master's eye produced tho same howl, and at last the false note Itself. The little critic Is taken to all of the concerts in the neighbor hood. Tho voice of the soloist, the piano, violin or cornet all of them must execute their parts In perfect har inory, otherwise Poodle looks at her master, rrects htr eais, shows her teeth and howls outright. Old or new pieces, Known or unknown to the animal, pro duce the same ?ffcet. A vicious mod ulation, r n false relation of parts pioduce the .ime result Sometimes, to teach tho dog. Mr. Walnwrlght and friends annoy her by emitting dlscoid ant sounds from Instruments and voice, when the animal loses nil control Her ejes shoot foith firing tlashes, und loud nnd frightful howls respond to the Inharmonious "concert" of the tor mentors. When the animal's patience is too much tried she becomes savage nnd endeavors to bite her peisecutors und their Instruments. AT LAST. Gaze thro1 the opal mist across the main On ancient walls that itar their gian- dmt high Unto tho kits of a Castlllan sky. Golden the cloiy of that storied Spain. Heavi with conquest and Its dazzling gain, Valiant tho pride tint only dared to dlo Tor honor's take never to question why. Mighty her prowess, Its resistance vain. Gazo jet again thro" sulph'roU3 mist and fire. Another Spain vlelds up her helpless wrecks Of stubborn pride to Freedom's last de sire No tyrant heel again shall tread their decks, And as they molder on surrendered strands Spain's castles crumble into desert sands. rioatlet. THE NHWS RECORD. The Free Methodist camp meeting at Aiarat is being largely attended. There was a crowd on Sunday. A number of out townsmen are In Towanda today, attending the Repub lican congressional conference It is to bo hoped that it will bo all Wright. The Erie will run a moonlight c rurslon from Blnghamton to Forest House park on Wednesday evening, Aug. 31. The McKano family reunion will be held on Thursday next at the residence of Charles Bebc, in Oakland township. The Red Men of Susquehanni county wri'l hold a picric in Riverside park, Lanesboro, on Saturday next. SOME INSCRIPTIONS. Some of the tombstones In the ceme teries bear queer Inscriptions. A stone in a nearby cemetery, after the name of the deceased, has this line: "GONE TO HEAVEN?" There's a wealth of meaning in that interrogation mark. Either the rela tives or the marble cutter knew the deceased. Ano-her stone in a suburban ceme tery lias thip; HONE HOME. Comment is unnectssaiy.

In Union, a few days since, there was a reunion of tho Mercereau family, and Undo Joshua Mercereau, one of the oldest members of the family, related the following truthful story: "Sixty-five years ago today, I remem ber, tho date because about two feet mwm maMw Wi I ,r,5. (Gail Borden jam Eagle brand l Condensed Mate Our Illustrated Pamphlet entiti:ed"BaBies,'shoui4 BE MEVERY HOUSEHOLD.' i SENT OH APPLiCATjpj( of snow fell during the forenoon and tho ground was frozen to the depth of thirteen nnd one-half inches I went out In the garden to pick cucumbers. I saw some bees fly Into a hollow tree and I went out and got the ax nnd chopped tho tree down. How much honey do you think I found? Seven teen butter tubs full! After dinner I yoked up the oxen and diove to Ithaca sixty miles and traded tho honey for cigarettes. I hurried back but did not got home until after dark. Father whipped me because I didn't get home before milking time. If you don't believe It I will take you up to the old farm and show you tho stump of the ttee I cut down," The old settlers are fast passing nwny, but their stories do live nftcr th-ml NEVER MENTIONED HIS NAME. A Susquehanna mother, who had for bidden her children to mention the name of the "evil one," was not able to attend churcli last Sunday, and when her little boy, S years old, came home after service, she asked him the subject of tho sermon. Ho answered promptly: "It was about Jesus being taken up into the mountains by tho by the by tho gentleman who keeps hell!" HEARD IN PASSING. There are nineteen prisoneis In tho county Jail The twenty-seventh annual encamp ment of the Susquehanna Veteran or ganization will be held Aug. 30-31 nnd Sept 1, In Montrose, Aug. 31 there will be a "pence celebration" nnd parade. The annual parade of the Montrose fire department will form one of tho divisions Hon Galusha A. Grow and others will deliver addresses. Fassell and White, the young men who swindled Landlord Donahue, of this place, out of $124, and who were captured In Scranton, were on Thurs day taken to Montrose Jail In default of ball, to await tho action of the grand Jury. They returned nbout $100 to Mr. Donahoe. White Is said to hail fiom Norwich, N. Y. Both men nre cool propositions. They may do tho state some service. WHOLLY UNPREMEDITATED. These are torrid days, yet, ere we realize It, we can feed the old straw hat to the cow When a girl screams and throws her arms aiound ou It is said to be dif ficult to tell whether she loves you or Is merely scared. Without big words some people could never say small things. Early indications point to a "beauti ful snow" crop next winter It snowed in Alaska last week. Stick to your flannels. Tho negligent habit fallen into by some opulent people, some years ago, of putting a cent Into the church con tribution box Is still kept up with painful regularity. The rooster would be a much more popular bird if he could only bo In duced to feel that there Is no real, vital necessity for his leportlng his w here abouts between midnight nnd 3 a. m. The community knows that he Is at home. So are a few married men, but they don't get up in the night to brag about It. PARAGRAPHIC PICKUPS. The Morman elders distributed their tracts and made tracks westward. The world is getting better, wiser and fresher! A strong effort will bo made to save tho necks of alleged Muulerers Eagan and Shaw. Its an unlucky man who feels the halter draw In Susquehanna county. Some murderers repent. Few hang. There's a vellow streak In hu manity that makes It wait to blame all its troubles on others. The snake crop this year has been immense. Some of the reptiles have had a rnttllnc cood timr. It bothers the editor of a paper in a country town to go to the undertaker for an advertisement and be asked whether he "Is willing to take it out in trade." There was a rumor yesterday that a tramp had been drowned in the river. The good news lacked confirmation. A tramp jesterday asked a Grand street lady for "Something to bite on." She handed him a file. For the time being he was not In a knawty mood. A man Is known by the letters he keeps. What shall It profit a county to coop tramps nnd feed them on plum pud ding, while the tax-payers work like blazes to support them? Better give the tramps n pick and the taxpayers mo pium pudding, ONE MORE USEFUL CAT. Tarmer John Terwllllger, of Han cock, Is the possessor of a cat, which, during the past month, has developed a penchant for harvest apples, and now keeps the family supplied with fruit of that variety. It makes daily trips to the neighbors' trees, leturn lng with an apple In Its mouth, which It learefully deposits on the fcioieh. During the past week It has biought home, by actual count, Just forty ap ples. Mr. Terwllllger Is thinking stiongly of placing seveial bands near the porch and teaching the cat to drop the apples Into them, so that when the time comes to gather winter fiult, all he will have to do Is to place the ban els in position, and the cat "will do the rest" nt tho expense ot the neighbors. Whitney. THIRTY-SECOND NATIONAL EN CAMPMENT OF O. A. R. AT CIN CINNATI, O. Reduced Rates via Pennsylvania Rathoad. For the thlrtv -second National En campment of G.

THE MARKETS. Wall Street Rovlew. Now York, Aug. 23. There was noth ing in the general situation either in the political or business world to nc count for u tcactlon in stocks today. The market was simply overbought and was subjected to a process of testing, which, whether designed to do bo or not, Inevitably readjusts prices to the true basis of value. Yesterday's heavy profit taking on tho part of somo of the powerful Interests who had been buying stocks in the confidence that they would advance In price, led tho way naturally to today's movement. In the Grangers even the outside buy ing, which so eagerly absorbed these slocks for somo time past, showed a marked dimunltlon, nnd there was a decline of 1U to P!i In tho Grangers nt midday. The lallroad list generally moved downward In sympathy with tho grangers, Metropolitan Street Rail way lose at one time 7 points without nny news to account for tho movement. The international paper stocks, Rio Grande Western, West Chicago, North west Chicago Terminal preferred, and a number of other stocks gave evidence of special strength In face of tho gen eral tendency of the market. There was a very marked falling off in ac tivity after tho midday shaking out suggestive of n pausing to take breath. The day's net declines are mostly small but the greater part of the day's busi ness was done at prices materially lower thnn the closing. Tho total sales were 53S.200 shaies.

From tho Philadelphia Ledger. If tho whole art of government con sists, as has been sdld, in the facultj of choosing the "right man for the right place" President McKlnley has made a master strcke In appointing Colonel John Lay, the American ambassador In Great Britain, to the ofllce of secretary of state In placo ot Judge Day. If the men best qualified to Judge in America had been asked to ntmo the person whoso fitness marked him for tho post, the greater number would no doubt have mentioned Colonel Hay, whose whole life has been a preparation for the Important duties of statecraft. Tho generous Intellectual gifts bestowed on him by rature, Colonel Hay has assisted by tho utmost diligence and most studious care, and his varied and brilliant career as scholar, author, editor, lawver, soldier and diplomat has produced a vvell-rcunded und complete man of affairs. 0 A glance at Colonel Hay's llfework will suflica to show that he Is a trained dip lomat, ns tho word Is understood abroad, where It Is Justly deemed ridiculous to entrust delicate and con-plicated matters of International Import to tho care of a mere politician or any ono else who has not the skill and knowledgo of negotia tion, which comes alone from long train ing and seasoned experience Colonel H.iv, after his Brown university course, studied law In the office of Abraham Lin coln, whose private secretaiy he after ward Lecame Befote tho end of the war he served as a btatf officer under Gcner nls Hunter and Gllmore, and nfter the war was siccei'Sivcly secretary of lega tio! nt Paris chatge d'affaties In Vienna, and secretary of legation at Madrid. From lb79 to 1SS1 he was first asslstunt secretary of state at Washington, nnd m March last was appointed to tho court of St. James.' Colonel Hay has at times acted as tho editor of the New York Trib une, and his literary productions are genuine contributions to Amcilcan Her ature The most striking characteristic ol tho man is his versatility-his "many sldedness " His "Castillan Davs" hns tho dellcucy, the charm the lightness of touch of literary pla fulness; his Life of Lincoln, written In collaboration with John G. Nlcn'ny, Is a work of monumen. tal lahorlousness, v hlrh must pcrve us the storehouse from which future blonrnph ers of Lincoln will draw their materials, and his poem, "Jim Bludso," has a rude strength which breathes with a certain elemental vigor and freshness. He Is a suund constitutional and Intoruutlonil lawyer, a scholar without pedantiy, a wit, a genial man, and, as Sidney Smith would saj, "he has as much sense as If he had no wit, and as much wit as If he had no sense." o It Is a fortunate circumstance that such a man has been found to conduct our tor clgn affairs at this period of our history. MUST BE IN IT. Memphis Commercial-Appeal. The conditions under which sea fights aro fought uro entirely different trom those under which land battles are con ducted Hence It is that the naval hero can win his laurels only by fighting for them. He can't remain In the background and dltect the movements of his fleet. He lb required to be In the thick of It, to bo ns much exposed to danger as any other man 011 tho shlpj, and rather to set I ho pace In fighting Therefore, while the sol dlor may become u military hero, though never exposed to actual danger and never In tho actual fighting, tho sailor can never expect to become a naval hero unless he wins his victory with the shells flying about him and his own shlp3 sailing Into the thickest of tho fray.
