The West Side hospltnl Is In need of
an ambulance. And It needs one ns
Boon ns possible. Who will start a
jiopulnr subscription for the purchase?
.The amount needed Is $300 nnd In order
to carry on the Rood work being done
nt the Institution nn ambulance Is
needed neatly every day.
When the Thirteenth leglment asked
for nn nmbulnnce The Tribune started
the subscription list nnd In a very
short tlmo the amount nocesaiy was
realized. Hon. John It. Farr, one of
Jhe hospital dltectois, brought the
(matter to the attention of the West
Bide board of tr.tdo at Its recent meet
Ins, but the matter wns not acted
upon.
The Tribuno now proposes to raise
the necessary amount for the hospi
tal nmbulnnce and Ins started the ball
rolling by calling for popular contri

West Scranton branch olrlce In Jen
Jtlns' drug store, corner of Main ave

able. William Price & Son, of .South
Main avenue, have volunteeted to
house the nmbulnnce nnd furnish n
team free of charge and the amount
neccssaiy ought to be forthcoming In
a short tlmo.
The hospital Is open to patients
throughout the valley and the work
thus far accomplished speaks volumes
for Its usefulness.
Let the residents of West Scranton,
who are proud of the only state Insti
tution In their midst, show their ap
preciation by contributing to the am

VALEDICTORY OF MISS SNYDER
OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.
It Was Read by Her at tho Com
mencement Exercises Thursday
Night Its Cleverness of Construc
tion, Beauty of Diction and
Thoughtfulness Caused No Llttlo
Favorable Comment "Tho Assas
sination of Lincoln" Was the Sub
jectLive News Notes of the Day.
"The Assassination of Lincoln" was
the subject of Miss Lucretla Snyder's
valedictory tit tho High school com
mencement Thursday night. It wns a
very thoughtful effort. The essay was
as follows:
For four ycats Civil war had been
rending our country and the strugglo
between the North and the South had
been kept up with varying Intensity.
Many fei tile ncres had been laid waste;
many homes left desolate, and want
and mlsoty stated many In the fao.
But now, Lee and nearly all the other
Confederate leaders having surrend
ered, the war was ended, and peace
settles over the countty. Fathers,
mothers, wives and children are watch
ing for the letutn of loved ones, and
sorrowing for those who at Shlloh,
Chlckamauga.or Gettysburg had fought
their last light.
But In spite of this sorrow nnd In
spite of the enormous losses sustained
throughout the war, there Is a fulness
or Joy In the hearts of the people. They
are tilled with gladness a the termina
tion of the terrible conflict. Slaveiy,
that awful blot on the history of our
countty, has been wiped out of exist
ence. There Is no longer a North nnd
a South, It Is now one country, united
by tho shed blood of thousands upon
thousands of brave men.
And so, the people are Joyful In the
midst of their sorrow. Bells are rung,
canons are tired, Hags are raised, and
everywhere the end of the war is being
celebrated.
NO REST, NO HOLIDAYS.
At this time among the multitudes of
happy people there is none happier
than he who thtough all the trying
peilod stood at the helm and safely
guided the ships of state tlnough the
storm. During the last four years he
had had no rest; no holidays. He would
not leave the helm until all danger
wns passed and the stoim over At
last his labors had been crowned with
complete success nnd be was rejoicing
over tho result of his work.
April 14, 186j, In particular was a
most exciting day. In fact, the most
exciting day since the first gun of the
war had been fired from Fott Sumter
In Charleston harbor. At noon on that
day the president attended a cabinet
meeting Alter this he went for a drive
with Mis, Lincoln. He seemed like a
boy out of school. Ho talked over
events that had happened earlier In
life and spoke of bis old home, telling
Mrs. Lincoln that when his term ex
pired thev would go back to Illinois
and he would open a law olllce there.
It had been announced In the news
papers that the president and General
Grant would attend Ford's theatre that
evening. General Grant was prevented
from going, but Mrs. Lincoln, though
for some undefined reason unw tiling to
go, was persuaded to attend, that the
people might not be disappointed
Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln reached the the
atre about 9 o'clock and with them
were Miss Harris and Major Rathbone.
Mr. Lincoln was sitting In a chalt near
the door of the box. The curtain had
talsed for the second act, and he, In
tel ested In the pity, was leaning fot
ward, when a pistol shot was heard.
A matt was seen to leap from the presi
dent's box upon the stage, shouting
"Sic semper Urannls' The South Is
avenged" It was John Wilkes Rooth.
As he Jumped upon the stage, the spui
In bis boot having caught In the folds
of an American tlag, he fell breaking
a bone In his knee. He managed to
escape, only to bo pursued and shot a
few days later
The ball received by the president
entered Just behind the left ear, and he
was cart led unconscious to a house
across the stteet, where he died the
next morning
A DREADFUL DAY.
April 1." was one of the most dreadful
days In the hlstoiy of the country No
words can express the grief and horror
of tho people. A nation but the day
before had been filled with Joy, was
now filled wiht sonow and gloom The
flags that had been triumphantly float
ing In the breeze the day before were
now lowered to half-mast, and before
darkness had settled over the land the
people, moved by a common feeling,
had draped their houses In mourning.
Grief nnd vengeance tilled the hearts
of the soldlets. The negroes wept over
their irrepatablo loss. The blow to the
government was great, but the ship of
state rode safe through this, another
storm, for anarchy had failed to stay
It In its course It had come so far
Eafely und would continue to the end.
The remains of the martvred piesl-
dent wero taken to Springfield and
there laid at rest
Lincoln had taken tho executive chair
when tho government was in dUotder,
the tteasuty empty, the small army
nnd navy scattered and disarmed.
Many otticets wete at heart rebels. The
Demociatic party wns hostile and In
sympathy with tho South. Ills own
party contained the elements of dis
cord and did not have the confidence of
the people. There was a gteat deal of
personal and unfavorable prejudice
against Lincoln himself, and some held
him In contempt None extended cor
dial good-will nnd uld. Yet In spite of
all this, by his sound Judgment, his
wisdom, his Integrity and his trust In
God, he crushed tho most stupendous
of lebelllons, ono suppotted by gteat
atmles und great resouices He
stiengtheneu his pattv, made peace
between rival nillltaty lendets, placed
men of skill and ability at the head of
tho aimles and won the resnect nnd
confidence of people not ottlj of his
own countty, but In other countiles us
well He struclc blow aftet blow at
slavery until that Institution was de
molished by his proclamation of eman
cipation. He was a man not lacking in
boldness and llrmness and without
vanity. Ono of his striking character
istics was that he was always In close
touch with the people. lie. had done
much for tho union. Hut now his
gieat wotk was finished nnd even whllo
hearing tho shout of victory, ho was
assassinated.
Only one name can bo mentioned
with his that name Is tho name of
Washington. Lincoln was ns Just, as
patriotic, us the father of his country
His name will live always, tlmo will
only add brightness to Us lustte.
