PROF: HOWELL HOME
FROM WESTERN TRIP
ARRIVED YESTERDAY AFTER
FIVE WEEKS ABSENCE.
Visited San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Denver, Col., Lincoln, Nob., Mil
waukee, Wis,, nnd Other Points of
Interest Chosen a Member of tho
Nominating Committee at National
Convention and Honoredbyrrlends
nnd Relatives Story of the Trip
Related Last Evening.
Prof. Georgo Howell, superintendent
of public schools, returned homo yes
terday afternoon with his wife and
daughter, Annette, from a five weekn
trip through the west. Prof. Howell
attended the annual convention ot the
National Educational association at
Iais Angeles, Cnl, on July 11-12-13-11,
and after visiting several points of liv
tcrest, returned to Milwaukee, Wis.,
wheie they were the guests of Pi of. and
Mrs. Daniel Protheroe, formerly ot this
city.
peaking of the trip to n Tribune
man who called at ills homo last even
ing. Mr. Howell said it was enjoyable
In every respect Tho convention was
ono of the most successful over held,
and 11,000 school tencheis wero in at
tendance, Peniisvlvnnla sent 493 peo
ple, and the Keystone delegation weie
concentrated nt Chicago, ftom which
lolnt Superintendent Howell was in
charge of the train. Philadelphia sent
three carloads, Pittsburg two and
Scranton one. i'd from Chicago the
train was mnd up of seven cms from
Pennsjlvar a alone.
The mo' itovvorthy event on tho
outw.nd Jnuincj, said Mr. Howell, was
the fact that their train was iust two
hours behind the train which was
w recked nt New man, and three persons
wero killed. The accident was due to
pure negligence nnd It was remaikablo
that all the pnsscngeis were not killed.
The Journey across tho American ties
fit occupied two nights and three days,
nnd tho most monstrous part of tho
ttl;i was tho ride from Ogden to San
Fianclsco, where over 900 miles ot des
ei t land Is covered, and nothing can be
seen but sage btush, alkali and cactus.
ON NOMINATING COMMITTEE.
Pi of. Howell was elected n member
of the nominating committee at tho
convention and had the pleasure of
representing the Keystone stnto in the
selection of the president of the asso
ciation, when Prof. O. T. Corson, of
Ohio, who is well known here, was
unanimously elected to the position.
Thirty-seven states were represented
on the committee. The speeches dur
ing the convention wore of a high or
der, and excellent subjects vv ere chosen
for discussion. 'President Lyte, of
Mlllersville State Normal school, pre
sided at all the sessions nnd dispatched
the work with much credit to himself
and to tho entire satisfaction, of the
delegates.
At San Francisco, Prof, and Mrs.
Howell called on Dr. and Mrs. Henry
Isaac Jones, formeily of this cltv, and
Thomas E Price, tho famous Welsh
chemist and nssaver, who was one ot
the expei t witnesses In the Durrant
murder trial. Speaking of Dr. Jones,
the professor said that he is enjoying
the largest practice in the city nnd
lives like a prince. They also visited
several other iclativcs of Scranton peo
ple during their trip.
Much difficulty was experienced by
nearly all the delegates In leaving San
Fianclsco, the railroadl accommoda
tions being very poor. They had to
wait three das for a sleeper and some
parties waited ten days before being
accommodated. It was Prof. Howell's
Intention to return by wnter part of the
way, but upon inquiry it was learned
that all steamer accommodations were
booked as far ahead as September.
They were thus compelled to return by
way of the Southern Paclllc over the
desert line.
Probably the most enjoyable feature
of the trip, Pi of. Howell said, was
tho trip up Tnrnel Pass, across the
bay from San Francisco. There they
observed the clouds passing over the
great metropolis of the Paclllc coast
and tho view from that height was one
never to be forgotten. Pike's Peak
was also visited, which point vvns
reached by the cog lallway 14,760 fet
above the level of the sea. The jour
ney to that famous resort wus most
fatiguing. Tho engineer In churr;, of
the railway Is a son of tho late Philip
Jones, formerly of this city, who
showed tho party several favors.
STOP AT DENVER.
Stops were also made on tho return
ttlp at Denver, Col , nnd Lincoln, Neb.,
where a number of the delegation, un
der the guidance of Mr. Uruce, of Mil
waukee, called on William J. Bryan
and were well received by the ex-presl-dentlal
candidate. Duilng the home
waid Journey Pi of. Howell contracted
a heavy cold and was compelled to
remain In bed three days at Milwaukee
fioni an attack of rheumatism.
Willie at Milwaukee Prof. Howell
and wife and daughter weie tho guests
of Mrs Howell's sister, Mrs. Daniel
Protheroe, and were the recipients of
many calls and Invitations from friends
in the city. Mr. Howell said Pi of.
Piotheioe Is meeting with rematkable
success In his new home nnd Is direc
tor of two of the largest singing socle
ties in Milwaukee.
The genial superintendent was the
guest of the Press club and other or
ganizations and wlillc theic old ac
quaintances were icnevved with many
friends of former eais. Before re
turning fiom California Prof. Howell
satisfied himself that Mr. and Mrs. D
D Evans, Mis. Geotge Ejnon and
others who accompanied the party
reached their destinations in safety and
tho health of all tho party was good.
While riding over the Nickel Plate
toad fiom Chicago to Buffalo Tuesday
night Prof. Howell contiacted a severe
cold fiom which he Is suffering, but
h" was not too hoarse to converse with
soveial friends who called at his home
last evening to welcome him homo
again. He expects to be fully recov
eicd In a day or two and once more
take chaige of his lespnnsiblltles in
connection with the public schools.

ANOTHER LIBEL SUIT.
W. P. Qulnn, of This City, Brings
Suit Against John A. Irwin.
John A. Iiwin, ot this city, was ar
rested and arraigned before Alderman
Millet t Monday on tho charge ot cilm
lnal libel. William V Qulnh gave" the
Information for tho arrest of Irwin.
Mr. Qulnn, who Is assistant superin

which time Mr, Qulnn alleges he de

obliged to dismiss Irwin owing to his
Inability to fulfill the requirements of

tack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. I gave It tuch remedies as
are usually given In such cases, but as
nothing gave relief, we sent for a phy
sician and It was under his cnie for a
week. At this time the child had been
sick for about ten days and was hav
ing about twenty-five operations of tho
bowels every twelve houis, nnd we
were convinced that unless it soon ob
tained relief it would, not live. Cham
berlaln's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was recommended, and I de
cided to try it. I soon noticed a change
for tho better; by its continued use a
complete cure was brought about and
It is now perfectly healthy. C. L.
