HER POINT OF VIEW.
There was one attraction that far
exceeded the Labor Day parade In the
eyes of the women at least, and that
was tho two sailors from tho Oregon,
who, big and bronzed, passed quietly
along the sidewalk amid the throngs
that pushed aside to give them a tri
umphal progress.
They say at the most popular east
ern coast resorts that you can spot
the country girl at once by the fact
that she wears gloves while no one
else thinks of thu3 torturing herself.
Kid gloves In hot weather are not only
a weariness to the flesh but distressing
to all who look on the same.
He Is a dear little man In his first
knickerbockers. Recently tho family
spent some tlmo at a fashionable resort
where the bed-time candle was a fea
ture of tho evening The small aon
was greatly delighted with this meth
od of Illumination and evidently must
have spent some time thinking over
the subject, for when he returned to
the city he astonished his relatives
by gravely announcing: "Mother, let's
buy as much as as much as oh, a
pound of candles, so that we won't
have such e-nor-mous gas bills!"
Mrs. Henry W. Palmer has Issued a

contains a picture of Mrs. Palmer's
handsome home with boys to the right
of It, boys to the left of It, and seem
ingly boys on ad infinitum far be
yond the confines of the cut. Another
half-tone group In which Mrs. Palmer
and a half dozen hrcuker boys, boot
A. (.bjks and newsboys appear, Is trie

cuts are found In the' pages of tho
pamphlet which contains a fascinating
history of the Boys' Industrial asso

TOOK ANOTHER FLOP.
Wlnton School Board Wants tho
Now School Building Erected
By Collins & Brcnnan.
The Wlnton borough school board
has taken another flop. Now they
want that their much discussed new
school building should be erected by
Collins & Urennan.
Tho contract was originally awarded
to this firm although Its bid was far
In excess of that of the Peck Lumber
company. Protest was made to court
by Eugene Taylor ant! C. It. Burnett
and before tho case could come up for
a hearing the board passed u resolu
tion declaring that It had acted In
judiciously In nwardlng tho contract
to the high bidders; rescinding the con
tract with Collins & Brcnnan and di
recting the contract ho given to the
Peck Lumber company. Judge Ed
wards, upon receiving an attested copy
of this resolution, struck tho case off
the list dismissing It in a brief opin
ion commending the change of heart
and penitence of tho self-confessed
wrong-doers.
Last week the board came Into court
with a petition for a reopening of the
case. Through Its solicitor, James J.
O'Malloy, It alleged that on second
thought It was mistaken when It said
previously that It committed a wrong
In granting the contract to Collins &
Brcnnan. Tho Peck Lumber company,
while It was the lowest bidder, was
not the lowest responsible bidder in
the discretion of tho board, and for
this reason the next lowest bidder that
was responsible was given the con
tract. The petitioners indicate that their
main purpose In making this revision
to their pica Is to prevent delay In
the erection of the school house. The
masonry work on the foundations and
cellar Is complete, nnd Collins & Bren
nan aro ready to go on with tho work
at once. If there Is a change of con
tractors there will be a protracted de
lay, and rather than keep tho children
without a school for an Indefinite per
iod they would pay the difference in
the two bids.
Judge Edwards heard arguments on
tho petition yesterday morning, and
at their conclusion decided to reinstate
the case and give the board an oppor
tunity of telling Its story. Next Tues
day was fixed as tho time for tho final
hearing.
ICE FUND IS STARTED.
Two Contributions in Response to
Yesterday's Call.
Two subscriptions were received yes
terday for the Ice fund. A dollar
from W. L. Pryor nnd another from
"O. F." This Is a small beginning but
It Is a start. The start being made
It is safe to say that there will be no
halt until a handsome fund is realized.
Other contributions are undoubtedly
on their way and It Is hoped by to
morrow tho Tribune will enabled to
announce a generous response to this
deserving plea for nn exercise of time
ly charity and eloquent appreciation.
Hero Is the start for the fund:

MRS. WIRTH TOOK
RADICAL STEPS
DETERMINED NOT TO OBEY THE
SUMMONS OF THE LAW.
Her Husband Accused Her of Hav
ing Threatened to Kill Him and
Bnthor Than Appear Before Al
derman Lentcs to Answer tho
Chargo Sho Tried to End Her Life
with n Razor Wrested from Her
Before Much Injury Was Wrought.
Bother than obey the summons to
appear before Alderman Lentcs, of tho
Eleventh ward, loBt night on the chargo
of threatening to kill, Mrs. Caroline
Wlrth, of Crown avenue, South Scran
ton, attempted to commit suicide nt
her home yesterday afternoon shortly
after Constable Woelkers, of Alderman
Lentcs' court, rend the warrant to her.
Jacob Wlrth, husband of tho woman,
preferred the charge against her. For
many weeks Mrs. Wlrth has been at
war with her husband, mothor-ln-law,
and numberless relatives on her hus
band's side. A month ngo nho had
them arraigned before the alderman
on charges ranging from assault and
battery to common scold. Her hus
band was among those arrested on
tho charge of assault and battery.
At the hearing of the charged de
fendants, Alderman Lentes took Mr.
and Mrs. Wlrth Into his urlvuto of
fice and recalled to their minds the
promises made at tho altar. For tho
sake of their llttlo children, he Im
plored that they nmlcably arrange the
difficulties that had arisen between
them. Tho result of tho conference
wns that tho husband and wife and
relatives walked from tho magistrate's
olTlco as friends.
HUSBAND ACCUSED WIFE.
Alderman Lentes was delighted with
tho outcome and It was thought that
Mr. and Mrs. Wlrth had seen the folly
of listening to too much advice from
relatives which was given ns the cause
of the whole trouble. However, Mr.
Wlrth appeared before tho alderman
Saturday and asked for the arrest of
his wife on the charge of threatening
to kill him. Alderman Lentes gave the
warrant to n constable yesterday to
servo.
Constable Woelkers went to tho
Wlrth home yesterday afternoon and
read to her tho charges preferred. To
tho constable she said:
"I will never appear before Alder
man Lentes or any other alderman
again."
Woelkers laughed and left the room
under the Impres&lon that tho woman
would appear nt tho time wanted. A
few doors below Mrs. Wlrth's homo tho
constable remained talking to an ac
quaintance. While thus engaged a
woman rus-hed up to him and told
him that Mrs. Wlrth had sent 1 or
little girl over to her house for some
laudau'.tni.
The woman refused to give the pois
on though ho had it In her home.
She advised Constable Woelkers to
keep n ohito watch on his prisoner.
The admonition was about utten'd
when a Icud shriek of a child wns
heard voiiKi:? from thi Wl.-:h home.
The constable haatened to the house
and upon e'titerltig he found Wlrth
und hi-i vif struggling on tha Hour.
In her right hand was a razor, and
fiom her r.eck blood waa llowlng.
Woelkers Vt rested tho weapon from
the woniiiu and raised he to a stand
ing posiUon. An examination of the
gash showed that the incision was not
deep.
SHE WAS DISCHARGED.
Tho How of blood was stopped and
an hour later Mrs. Wlrth was taken
before Alderman Lentes. Her hus
band accompanied her. When the al
derman heard the story of the recent
trouble he dlsimssed tho defendant
nnd told tho man and wife again to
go home. If they cannot live in har
money he advised them to separate for
life.
When Mrs. Wlrth attempted to end
her life her husband was In the yard
at the rear of tho house.
BABY DEAD IN MARSHWOOD.
Different to a Baby Found Dead in
n Marsh in the Woods.
"A baby found dead In a marsh In
the woods back of Olyphant," is the
way the Information camo to The Trl
buno office, Sunday evening. Search
ing inquiry at all tho towns at this end
of the vnlley failed to reveal any "baby
found dead In a marsh in the woods
back of Olyphant," and The Tribune,
exclusively, did not announce tho start
ling story.
Yesterday Coroner Longstreet straight
ened It out. UndertakerGeorge Propo
kovltch, of Priceburg, found In Marsh
wood that a baby he was called upon
to bury had died without an attending
physician and before he would conduct
the funeral he sought a death certifi
cate from tho coroner.

Frank Snow Took n Friend Out for n
Ride.
Frank Snow, nn employe of Belles'
livery, on Adams avenue, spent the
night In the West Sldo police station
ns a result of reckless driving. Patrol
man Lowry made the arrest. Snow's
companion In the carriage, CJeorge
Knlerlm, of North Main avenuo,
managed to escape.
Snow took a. slnglo cnrrlage from
the livery and went over to West
fcrnnton to take his friend out for a
drive. After a considerable tlmo had
passed and frequent calls had been
made the two men grew reckless. They
made tho horse gallop up and down
lower Main avenue. Patrolman Lowry
mado several nttempts to head them
off. but the horse was moving too ra
pidly. An unexpected circumstance Inter
vened which surprised all parties. As
the two men wero driving previously
along South Mnln avenue the carriage
collided with tho heating wagon of the
usphalt company which stood nenr tho
rurb, a short distance from Washburn
street. The occupants wero hustled
out. Knlerlm landed safely and soon
disappeared up Washburn street.
Snow wns hurt and unable to get up.
His right hand and nrm were badly
skinned and cut nnd his right nnkle
wrenched. Dr. Llndabury, who lives
near by, ran to tho man's assistance
nnd Patrolman Lowry who wns follow
ing the carriage up, later took Snow
to the station house.
Tho carriage was badly wrecked and
Is now together with tho horse In
Wymb's livery.

Obsequies Took on the Natnro of a
General Public Affair Services
in St. Mary's Church.
The esteem In which Wllkes-Barre
held the late Thomas P. Ryder wns at
tested yesterday In his obsequies. St.
Mary's church, where tho services were
conducted, wns crowded to Its utmost
cnpaclty with mourners and sympa
thizers and many unable to gain ad
mittance crowded about tho doors and
on tho sidewalk In front of the church
to await tho conclusion of tho cere
monies within that they might Join In
tho cortego that accompanied tho , re
mains to the cemetery. ,
Men from nil wnlks of life were In
the nssemblnge. Tho city's mayor,
chief of police and a delegation of
eight patrolmen attended as personal
friends. Soldiers home on furloughs
were prominent figures In the throng.
Newspapermen from various cities
walked with tho Wilkes-Barro Presr
club, wearing the mourning badge of
that organization, nnd the same was
true nt tho members of tho Knights of
Columbus. It took on much the char
acter of a general public affair, though
no effort was made to havo It such.
When tho remains arrived at 0.03
o'clock a. m. they wero met at the
Lehigh Valley station by the Press
club and visiting newspapermen and
the Knights of Columbus, which had
charge of the funeral, and escorted to
the late home of the deceased, tho resi
dence of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Toole,
so Lincoln street. Tno casket was
opened nnd for an hour a constant
stream of friends passed by the casket,
taking a last look at the tranquil face
that even In death held Its open, honest
expression.
At 10 o'clock tho cortege moved to
St. Mary's church. The Knights of
Columbus and Press club, with tho
delegation from the police force, lead
ing the way, marched at tho head of
the procession. Then camo the honor

Rev. D. J. Bustln, who was a closo
personal friend of the deceased, de
livered tho funeral sermon. He took
as his text Mark, xlll:3: "Who shall
roll us back the stono from tho
sepulchre?" He paid a most beautiful
tribute to the deceased. Ono of his ex
pressions was most trite. "Mr. Ryder,"
he said, "would be the first to disclaim
for himself any high honors of sanc
tity, but I doubt If In your lifetime you
will see a young man go before tho
Judgment seat of God with hands moro
full of loving labors done, of kind
words spoken, of prudent counsel
given."
The interment was made In Hanover
cemetery. Short services were con
ducted at the crave by Rev. Father
Goeckel.
The floral tributes filled a carriage to
overflowing. Large and beautiful de
signs from the Knights of Columbus
and Press club were the most conspicu
ous pieces. In significance of Mr. Ry
der's association with tho army a large
flag was draped over tho coflln during
the funeral ceremonies.

CONDITIONS FOUND
AT CHICKAMAUGA
EDWARD LANGLEY, OF THIS
CITY INSPECTED THE CAMP.
His Brother, Who Enlisted at Butto
City, Montana, Dlod from Typhoid
Fever Mr. Langley Declares That
the Newspapers Havo Not Exag
gerated the Condition of Affairs,
But Rather Havo Minimized It.
Condition of tho Division Hospital
Was Very Deplorable.
Edward Langley accompanied by his
mother returned Saturday from Chlck
amausa camp, Ga., to which place they
wero called on a most sorrowful mis
sion, to nttend tho burial of an only
brother, Clarence, who succumbed to
typhoid fever Friday morning, Aug.
26. Tho only Intimation his brother te
celved, wns a telegram Friday evening
stating his death; no particulars wero
given. Mr. Langley hastened to Chat
tanooga nnd only reached the city two
hours In advance of his mother, there
to meet her nnd break the distressing
news.
Tho mother residing in Butto City,
Montana, had received a telegram of
the serious Illness of her boy and at
onco started for his bedside, and con
sequently did not know of his denth,
until the meeting at Chattanooga. Al
though the son had been seriously 111
two weeks, no word had been sent.
Young Langley waa only 20 years of
as.?, six feet, was a fine specimen of
physical manhood and while at col
lego a lino athlete.
Ho enlisted from Butte City, Mon
tana, with Colonel Grlgsby's Rough
Riders and soon became a groat favor
ite In his troop. Ho graduated from
the University academy at Alameda,
California, and wns a student at Pur
due university, Indiana. At tho time
of his enlistment ho wns In business
with his uncle In Butte. He was In
tel rod at the national cemetery, Chat
tanooga, with military honors.
PERSONAL INSPECTION.
Mr. Langley personally Inspected
Chlcknmauga camp, where so many
comrades of his brother lost their
lives. Ho says:
"The papers throughout the country
have minimized tho direful scenes,
rather than havo exaggerated them.
Things wero In a most deplorable
state. Ono could never realize that at
this stage of civilization such torrrlble
sufferings of gallant fellows would be
tolerated. One's heart could bleed for
tho poor, emaciated, shrunken forms
wandering from tent to tent. In their
daz3d, forlorn and pitiful state.
"Tho men have been literally starv
ing. I took breakfast at Colonel
Grlgsby's mess, but only ate a few
mouthfulls, tho food being so poor,
and this was consldeied princely fare
ns compared to what the privates re
ceived. Tho men are loth to speak of
their experiences. It was marvelous
to see men suffer with llttlo or no
complaint, when things could be so dif
ferent. You may read of tho pangs
of war, but these thousands of
poor fellows have suffered ten
fold tho amount of actual service. At
tho division hospital tho only nurses
were comrades taken from the ranks.
Young men, somo of whom had never
been in a sick room In their lives.
Think of three or four overworked sur
geons endeavoring to attend some
hundred patients In a single division
hospital, betides administering to the
wants of scores of patients able to
walk,
SERVICES REJECTED.
"Thousands of young; women that
havo graduated from training schools,
offered their services to nurte back to
life these poor dying soldiers, but their
offers were rejected. True, several of
tho larger hospitals, the belter nnd
another, havo efficient service with
female nurses; but the many division
hospitals havo been entirely neglected.
For weeks the ranks wero so terror
ized by tho facts, coming from the hos
pitals, that hundreds of soldiers con
cealed the truth of their own extreme
illness nnd attended to regular duty
rather than bo reported sick, and sent
to what seemed to them certain death.
"The public should know at once the
dark chapter of terrible Infamy that
hai made the very name 'division hos
pital' a source of fear and agitation
to the poor soldiers who cannot, who
dare not, complain for themselves."
