THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1S99. pfKfi mm 4f t t l n ;ni!',!1!lllll!i!lIH" The much talked of social affair of tlic week was the golden wedding anni versary celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Wlinnm II. Itlchmond, at their hand some suburban home, Richmond Hill, on Monday. Few people In these days of divorces and microbes and new dis cuses live to be the central figures of such an event, und when remarkable vigor of mind and body characterize both of these chief actors, and honor and prosperity have added an appro prlate setting to the scene, it is one that is of more than passing itnpoit nnce in the community. Mr Rich mond comes from fine Now England stock and his wife la alio a member of tui Illustrious family. Ho started to battle for himself In the world at the ubo of 13 and now at "8, has with his family a position of great distinction In the community. The colebratlon was unique In many respects. The beautiful stately rel denco was lavishly decorated with loses and potted plants fiom their own gardens and eonseivatotlcR and with a profusion of flowers tent bv lo Iiib friends, not a few from many miles distant. In the receiving llii" with Mr. and Mrs. Richmond, Mr. and Mrs Tracy and the Misses Richmond, was their granddaughter, Miss T,ois Tiacy, ainijed in the little quaint silk gown worn by the bride fifty years ago. Nearby was seen the dear old fislilon cd bonnet In rich embroidered cup" of a most delicate hue. In which she must have looked like a porttalt out of a poem. The shawl woin at the wedding was also shown. Many beau tiful piesents weie received. The fli st to congratulate the biido and groom were Mrs. Tieinper and Mis. A L Munn, of Kingston. N. Y, and Mi L.

Among the pleasant Incidents eon nccted with the golden wtdding were the congratulations of Hon. Alfred and Mrs. Hand, In the share of a dimm ing poem from the pen of Judge Hand, and which appeals below: ISI'l A summer girl trlppul through the shades Where CitfrklU'M ltiai.ti.oiis mountains rb e, Illstorli moiintaliih, healthful gl.ules Wliero smiles light up the winning ees. It chanced a Yunkeo pistol tint wai Ho saw tho slucles, he spied the ghl, A tht 111 was all such come tit stay Tor Cupid lay where cddlts w lilt 1 Near mossy hanks wheio fairies littrp And work thtlr Hlmwilest pi ins of old, He held his dart well m id and sharp With h.ttdened steel and point of gold. He winged his arrow with tin aim That phreed the center of nil love; He never hul that dart again, Tho wound was made and jiars still ptovo That healing art enn havo no power To cure, or stuunch tho stream that flowed, Or draw the dirt from that loved hour For fifty rolling jenrs or more. 1S99. That summer ghl stays through I ho years, Through fifty winters strong and true In shine and shade of noble hltth, She smiles and chcets os thoso can do Who give their nil to manly worth. Twas flippant as tho summer brcczo Compared with ocean depth and vvltiil To cull her "Summer," slueo tho tn es She saw nnd tlmo j roclaim she Is (ho Winter girl. Through tlcuds and sunshine, heat and cold These two have walked tn God's own light. Thev love the flower nor heed tho world Which grows as time keeps up Its flight. Wo' 11 ill Ink their health In God's own wlna Which flows from out tho mountain rock Not mun-tllHtlllfd from out tho vino; "Heaven bring them homo and lato tho shock." Tho lojal hold on thlnsh unseen, Tho royal faith beneath Heaven's dome. The staunch conviction all I ween Win Heaven's blessing on this home. Today will bo another great day nt the Country club. Indeed It Is declared that seveinl gentlemen have been so Interested In piactlclng "putting" In prepatatlon for this afternoon's contest that they had scarcely heaid there was to be u fight In Now York. There will probably bo thirty or more entries, nnd It la not yot decided owing to tho un certainty of tho number whether tho putting will be with four or eight balls.

It Is difficult after several centuries of civilization nnd conventionality to find something new In the way of wed ding arrangements. A Huffalo brldo rather startled the conservatives at a swell wedding tho other day by carry ing Jack roses, It was a graceful lit tle compliment to the groom, by tho way. His name was "Jack" Clreon, and tho half dozen btldcsmalds wore palo green and nlso carried Jack roses. Another girl and her fair attendants not long ago shocked a fashionable throng nt a church wedding by appear ing at the noon-day ceremony arrayed In gowns cut low In the neck and with the shortest possible sleeves. Still another fair maid had tho train of her wedding gown lifted over tho tlueshold nnd up tho long drawn aisle of the church by a pet dog who wus "trained" for the occasion nnd was ceinvenlently white. None of these vngatles uro specially recommended to the fair June bride. One thing she should do If she would be "awfully stylish,' as the small girl said, nnd that Is have her wedding bouquet and those of her btldcsmalds of sweet peas.

If only the street cars nnd the milk vvngans would adopt them for general use life would bo decidedly more worth living. If ever there was a town which by reason of the curse of much legislation and wretched sttcctst Is speclnlly designed to promote the rubber the Industry that town 13 Scranton. There may be remote coun try districts where the corduroy roads are worse than Washington avenue, but they linger not In the recollection of man. The method of the rural su pervisor In clawing nil tho stones big and little from the surrounding coun try nnd heaping them Into the middle of tho road for tho teams to break up at their leistne Is an lmpiovement on tho rond making of this town wheio the holes nre never filled up nnd a wagon with ordlnnty tires and springs la an Instrument of torluie It Is giowlng to be tho custom for Scranton men who happen to be able to make luxurious gifts to their w s. Instead of diamonds, stock In 10.1l mines. Inlaid pianos and tho like, to bestow cairliccM with extia flexible springs In the cushions and super pad ded tires. Several ladles who 1110 fond of driving and whose netvous systems have been nearly wrecked by Jolting over Washington tivenuw nnd other streets, hive been made happy and proud with such sin prises recently. Rubber tiros nie a great Invention. They are equally desirable on wheels, manncis, conversation and even em thought. They slip over the haul spots with a velvety haste; they leave llltlo sense of lar and soften the rough places of life. I 'know a woman who has a tubber-tlreel speech, which phrase moans something a deal nicer thnn It sounds. There1 Is none ot that harsh, giatlng friction that rasps unpleasant ly on her acquaintances. She goes softly Ir her uttered thoughts and while there Is nono of the sibilant ir lltatlon of a whisper theie Is the soft, gliding cniess of tone and of kindness that leaves beautiful memotles. She doesn't say ellsagicable things to peo ple and what is still better she doesn't think them It Isn't nil Inborn sweet ness either One day In a reminiscent mood she declatcd that she was natu l.illy caiping ethical and ill-nntureel In her judgment of other peopl , but that she found these unpleasant traits glowing to such a phenomenal degiee that she detot mined to keep them un der subjection Pelng a person of great determination of character she has succeeded beyond whit most of her friends could believe I mertiy nc -quired. She probably wouldn't like to be ealh'd the rubbei tired lady fot cor talnlv that Is scarcely nn elegant term but In some lespects It fits bet tepose and self control and more than till her gentle way of dealing with the fi all ties of others It Is a good thing to have a tubber tlted temper that doesn't flash and Hume like stol sttiking flint at eveij obstacle and every Iriltatlnn. One has so much better time If this little soft Ri1.1t il Intetpo'es between the sharp stones of the woild and the w heels of one's lirltablllty After all It Is one's own self that Is hurt ami not the stones. It Is so much easier nnd plf as- anter to go smoothly, for the blows and the IHsh. s of anger aie iuv.iilably reacting In their tendency, the cushion the of self conttol Is a grateful inter position and as it rolls eiver the face and over the heart It does not cut deep flit rows which letnaln to tell the wot Id that sudden spasms of fury and long hours of sullenness have marred oneV life, which like love 'is hint with jar and fret." It Is good to have the uibber thv of silence on the tongue when one's near est and dearest seem to deserve re buk", nnd when blltet words lisc al most to the lips und to adjust that gen tle guard when gossip and sc.indul come to one's cars and temnt utter ance One Is so seldom sony for the unkind thing left unsaid. We ar too apt to put rubber titer on some things where they might better be left off. There Is conscience fot Instnnce we want to so deiden the Jar of the world from Its sensitiveness that we fahlv envelop it in rubber cushions. Then we say "Lie still, dear, and fo to sleep," and we gnllv bounce off undisturbed by Its mufllod walls be cause of the frailties and sins great and small, over which we drag it breathlessly. Then theie aie the rub berth es that soften for our sjmpathles, the ciosswas of pain nnd sulferlngs of others ovei which wo ilde and because the J.ii does not suddenly w tenth our feelings vie say: "Oh, theie is little want and suffering except that which people biing on thenis ives We have been Imposed upon su often That wasn't a very pitiful case, it really didn't appeal to us ns wo ctrne nlcng." And we lubber tire our tenderness so that It Isn't awakened by the loneli ness of those who sit nt out own lite sides, nnd wo softly ptotcet our ener gies und deslies nnd our good inten tions, so that they must not be dilven over the untiodden road where sharp Monet of relk ctlon and of the world's necessity may Injure their fine con stiuctlnn, and we say to the murmur ing voice within: "Tomorrow we will do that gentle deed we have so long promised, tomottow wo will .sny to th" one at our side. 'You did well this day,' " tomonow we will begin to make life mote noble, more beautiful. Rut tomonow nevei eomcs, and whilo mak ing promises to It vie ono day anlvc at the end of the pith wheio the soft est padded wheels can cany us no f ut ther. MUSICAL NOTES.
