NEW YORK BANKRUPT CLOTHING, Store Will Close 5oraxjxxxoxxxK)xtto MENTION OF SOME MEN OF THE HOUR DR. A. P. GARDNER THE SAGE OF ELMHTJRST. He Was the Father of Homeopathy in This Part of the State Is Spending the Evening of His Life at His Beautiful Home "Glen wood" What the Elmira Adver tiser Says of Edward E. Loomis, Superintendent of the D., L. & W. Coal Department. Dr. A. I'. Gardner, who Is spending the evening of his llfw at his beautiful home "Glenwood," near Elmhurst, Is one of the very Interesting personages of this region. Though S3 years of nge his Intellect Is as vigorous as it was 'M yeais ago and he looks ns If he hud many years yet nhead of him. Dr. U.irdnor has the distinction of being . h" first homeopnthlst to practice In this part of the state. Dr. Gardner first came to this region fifty years ago from New Jersey, mak ing the journey on horseback. He first located at Carbondale where he prac ticed medicine for some time, lie was then a physician and surgeon of what is known as the "old school," after practicing In Carbondale for a few years his attention was turned to the "new school" of medicine which was then beginning to be much heard of. After he made a thorough investiga tion of its merits he became an en thusiastic convert. He devoted himself with great vigor to the mastery of the propositions and methods of the "new school" and soon received his diploma as a hoineopath ist. Scranton was beginning to spread out about that time and give promise of Its future greatness and Dr. Gardner decided that it offered a better field for his labors than the Pioneer City. Ho located here and was for a time the physician of th Scrantons, Cooks, and others whoso names are inseparably connected with the early history of the city. His arduous work as a physician in the then scattered hamlets that have since been Incorporated Into a city told severely on his health. His lungs he- fame atlllctcd and he was told by brother physicians that it lie would save his life he must give up his pro fession and take up a residence in the beech woods on some of the hills hereabouts- A tract of timber land near what is now Klmhurst was selected by Dr. Gardner and there lie hewed the trees, rooted out the stumps and constructed the inviting home-like structure known as "Glenwood" where the doctor has for years entertained his friends in his own open-hearted, characteristic fashion. All the timber used in the building was cut on the tract surrounding the building. The frame work Is fastened together with wooden pins and after the lapse of forty years looks as If It would rslst the crumbling effect nf time for years and years to come. During the years the doctor has been at "Glenwood" ho has not devoted himself regularly to the practice of medicine but he has always been sub ject to the call of distress and no journey has been too long, too danger ous or too difficult to keep him from the bedside of the sick or injured where he believed his services would be needed. For that and many other reasons Dr. Gardner is a greatly be loved man by tho older people of the eastern part of tho county. Edward E. Loomis, tho new super intendent of the coal department of Ihe Delaware, Lackawanna nnd West ern company, Is attracting a great deal of attention in railroad circles Mnce ho was called to tho Important position ho now holds. The Klmira Advertiser says of him: "Edward K. Loomis is rushing up the jclghts of distinction In ruilway ser fico so rapidly that one must have ex cellent eyes to follow his course, nnd It would be raBh to predict any limit ation to his advancement. There are iwo great reasons for his success. One 11 the qualities of tho man nnd the Hher is his short residence in Elmira. "It Is a curious fact about Mr. Loomis that his friends, and they In lude all who know him, speak of him habitually In the strain of kindness that Is usually permitted only in eu ocy of ihotft who have passed out of ills life, ills associates in business, The New York Bankrupt Sale Clothing, Hilllnery, iSoots, A Carload of Men's and Boys' Caps, Straw Hats, Etc., Will Be Sold at One-Half Their Actual Cost.

"The gentleman Is not rare In society, not very rare, neither is the able busi ness man of attractive qualities. It is speaking with moderation when we say that Mr. Loomis Is fortunately en dowed with tho qualities which men respect and women admire. The kind liness of a nature which is rich In sympathy for others only strengthens instead of enfeebling the strong execu tive faculty which can carry the sever est tasks without fretting or worry and with an air of positive yet unaf fected Indolence, "Hats come off and sometimes hearts ore open to the man who can do things, who is a power, .11 his profession or business. That Is the foundation of honor In man or woman. When to great abilities there Is the addition of adornments of character a winning personality is the result that knows 1101 limit of attraction when all Is crowned with unbending loyalty to elemental virtues. It is not easy even for one with but small acquaintance with Mr. Loomis to speak in terms of due restraint of 11 man so highly en dowed with the humanities, so strong and sel'-polsed in character, so bril liant In business faculty, so utterly free from pretension, so genuine in speech nnd act. so enviably blended of head and heart. "It is sad Indeed that so many men and women beautiful In character and in life go through their earthly pil grimage with but slight recognition of their qualities while lluent eulogies are pronounced only over their Insen sate dust, 'The living, the living shall praise Thee,' cried the psalmist. Tes, and tho living should be praised some times ns well as tho dead. It is 11 pleasure from which we should not al ways stay tongue and hand, not al ways wait a hundred years to praise a ghost. Some are so nervous about courtesies of speech, however, thrjc they bear them with forebodings as they hear a dog howl in the night. We do not know this is true of rail road men or actors. This brief word of congratulation to Mr. Loomis is cer tainly not meant for a hoodoo. He may take out more Insurance, but if he loses n hat out of a car window he must not attribute the loss to any thing said of him in this column." TRI-COUNTY ENDEAVOR UNION.

Tim Hurley in Rapid Company A Tramp Stops a Bullet Few Sug gestions on the Side Her Pa's Boots Hod Nails on the Toes. News in a Nutshell Doings of the Railroad Boys Personal Drift. Susuelftinna, June 27. Two New York fishermen, rowing along the Susque hanna near Red Rock, were a few days since attracted by a noise pro ceeding from what seemed to be a bat tle on tho brow nf a steep hill near tho shore. For some minutes the fish ermen failed to notice the character of the combatants, but In a moment the well known squealing of a cat struck their ears. A prowling cat had been pounced upon by an eagle. 1'p the combatants soared, while the feathers that Hew from the eagle and spread in all directions convinced the fishermen that the battle was in the clouds. They watched the strange combat until cat and eagle seemed n mere speck In the sky. Suddenly tho speck resolved Itself Into two, and the cat came down through tho air with frightful velocity, sometimes as round as a ball and again stretching out full length. It soon struck the ground. The fishermen went down the river, but next dny, when re turning, the cat's carcass could not be found. Near the spot, however, a dy ing eagle was seen, with the llesh torn off its body to such an extent that the bones were exposed to view. The cat was evidently too much for the eagle, but how she escaped being dashed to pieces when she struck the ground still remains a mystery. TOO RAPID COMPANY. Refore the Ilroadwny Athletic club, in New York, on Friday evening, Har ry Fisher, of Rrooklyn, and Tim Hur ley, of Susquehanna, had a mix-up, Hurley coming out second best. Tim came home unscarred ami unterrlfied and with a lot of experience. In a few days he will return to Now York for more experience. At College Point he will go into training under "Mys terious" Billy Smith. HE STOPPED A BULLET. At West Susquehanna, on Friday night a gang ot tramps filled their skins with red rum nnd then mixed up. When the smoke of battle had lifted, two ot tho gang had been knifed, and a third, who Is said to be J. AV. nib lions, of Chicago, received a bullet wound In the back. The bullet is In his lungs, and he may die. Ho Is L'3 years old. He Is at the Starrucca house, being cared for by tho poor au thorities. SAID ASIDE. "If n man is angry, and where he can't swear, ho kicks something." A bald-headed bachelor always has an aunt or cousin who tells him that ho Is Just us good looking us ho ever was. An observer of things says that the man who thinks ho could marry any woman living Is generally tho kind of man who gets off a train and leaves his valise. In Hallstead, If a man washes his faco twice a day and wears a white collar, they call him a dude. The way to forget our miseries is to remember our mercies. A Susquehanna girl wrote to her adorer thus: "Don't come to see me any mote just yet, John, for father has been having his boots halt-soled, with two rows of nails around tho toes." So many people arc dying In all parts of tho county Just now nt tho some what advanced ago of 103 years, that a man under S3 years feels kind of bashful about going In to a barber shop.

This will rob tho disease of much of Its terror. A tombstone, with a single cucum ber engraved upon It, Is oftentimes more expressive than one carved with ten lines of obituary pathos. Tlie Hallstead Herald editor Informs a subscriber that It cannot tell him "how to cure a ham" unless he knows what alls the ham. Soon will the newspaper men heave a big sigh and wish ho were a, minis ter, so that his health might fall him for a season and ho might brsent to to seaside to lake a wash. Newspaper men and the devil take few vacations. A young man never feels so much at a loss what to do, as when he takes his best girl to a picnic, a big black ant crawls down her back and begins to blto her Just above the belt and she begins to scream for help.
