THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 0, 1890. B 1 Wmmsk YSSA 1 KS AT THE golf links today there wilt bo a mixed handicap for nil members for n prize offered by tho greens conunlttco. It la ex pected that there will be many entries. Indeed, there hns been a re tnnrknble revival of enthusluBm lit? paHt week nnd yesterday the links wore thronged with players. Thero Is an active Indication that many of the members who have not hitherto entered contests are fast qualifying for the cup matches. Among those who are making great Improvement In scores are Messrs. S. II. Kingsbury, 1 K, Piatt, Claude Walker and others. Sec retary Atherton. of the board of trade, nnd F. M.

Miss Reynolds gave tho first wallle supper of tho season last night nt tho Country club. A number of young people from the Hill had an unlimited amount of amusement Monday ns tho parade was passing ulong Jefferson avenue. They were grouped at the corner of Mulberry street, and suddenly were discovered fcazing Intently and with apparent excitement up a tree. The throng be came more dense and every person in the vicinity was leaning backward In the vain attempt to discover what was in the tree. As the interest Increased It was evident that the curiosity of those In the parade was aroused. They, too, craned their necks (the street gamins used nnother term) and trod on each other's heels and got sadly out of line In the effort to see what was in that tree. Then tho entertainers va ried the programme by forming a ring and widening It while with the ut most gravity of countenance they looked toward the center until every body In tho vicinity came mndly run ning to see tho prize light or dog light or whatever the point of interest might be and then the fun loving youngsters went home and told how they had fooled all the people all tho while. One of the exnsperatlng Incidents of that day was caused by the churlish ness of the sexton of a prominent church who kept several sections of hose playing on the church lawn and even on women and children lest by any possible chance they should step on the grass. One of the pleasant events of the week was the dinner given Monday night by Hon. and Mrs. William Con nell. in honor of Governor and Mr?, stone and Postmaster General Smith.

The engagement is the result of a pretty romance which began nbout two years ago and culminated only re cently, the general assembly of tho Presbyterian church held In Minneapo lis In May being a prominent factor. No man more popular and more uni versally respected thnn Mr. Dickson can be found In Scranton, and thero will bo a vast circle of sincere friends to welcome his bride, when he shall bring her home to Scranton.

HER POINT OF VIEW To bo n woman Is to bo a partisan. When sho becomes Indifferent nnd the champion of no cnuse, no friend, no dream or no ambition, sho Is either bound fast by tho npathy of par.'KyzIng grief or tho stiff wrappings of tho grave. It Is said that woman does not possess a Judicial mind; that she al ways argues from u personal stand point and In tho main these accusa tions arc true. If her heart Is stirred by n sorrowful tale, she Is apt to ily to the extreme of sympathy and to feel that no matter how many other im postors have wrought humiliation for her, this case is truly worthy. If a wrong hns been done to a relative or a friend she takes up the gauntlet and Is willing to light for tho injured und to rout the aggressor. Men have their political differences, and yet In private life grasp hands and smile at each other. The woman does nothing of the sort. If anyone has over interfered with her husband in his ambitions for.olllce, down he goes on her black books and ten to one that she doesn't snub his family even unto the third generation. If a politi cal organ says something unkind of her hero, she proceeds to Institute a moral boycott on the newspaper and attaches blame even to the wives nnd dnughters of the printer. If a small boy strikes her own little son In a childish disagreement she Is more or less wrathful at his entire clnn. If she doesn't like some other woman she is reasonably sure to listen most com placently to anything derogatory to the object of her displeasure. Oh a woman Is a partisan certainly. It Is only on rare occasions that sho has tact enough to rise above the preju dices. This Is the great difficulty In the way of her career as n politician, or a "stateswomau" possibly would be tho preferred term. Her regard for details would tend to discourage her very ardent support of another woman who -wore frumpy bonnets and weird hnnglng skirts and to the ignoring of really praiseworthy traits In a rival. One of the few who can be said to submerge prejudice in a soft pleasant sunny haze of tact is the wife of Penn sylvania's governor. William A. Stone. She doesn't see why she should nl low party differences to stand In her sunshine nnd throw their grim, sin ister shadows over the glancing years of her inline. She Is not so young and unsophisticated as to allow tho trivial things of life to rasp and fret her soul, and she Is just young enough to have a thorough zest of everything; for the pleasant things that come to her through the courtesies attendant upon her olllcial position and for the unending fascination of being able to stand with her fingers just drawing aside the curtain which nllows her to peep smilingly behind the scenes and watch the intricate springs which set In motion the great wheels of national politics. Mrs Stone (hafi exceedingly good health. She sleeps a great deal, takes excellent care of herself and Is thor oughly up to date and alive. Sho Is n musician and reads much. She Is so clever with her pen that If ever the governor gets out of business and the family exchequer Is low she can earn a comfortable Income with her literary talents. It Is a pleasure to see one who Is much In the light of public criticism and must do many prefunc tory tasks, who must laugh some times when she would weep and look desol ato at others when she would shriek with half hysterical amusement, man age to preserve that continual Inter est In everything, to be nlways sweet tempered, always gracious and never whimsical or ready to take the nat ural advantages of her position and Insist upon her supeilor claims. It Is such a luxury at times to sulk and look bored when one feels like sulk ing and Is boied. A statesman they say we haven't anything but politicians any more but he Is a real statesman said of the governor's wife not long ago: "She never Is bored." m It Is a great thing to enjoy the days ns they slip past. Of course. If one l the governor's wife and can have an Intlnlte series of dinner gowns It does seem that life might hold con siderable pleasure, but sometimes there come annoyances to the feminine heart that even the consolntlous of an executive mansion done up In Louis XV brocade and gilt frames, or tho charms of a new Paris bodice are powerless to banish. It takes genius to face some of these little pln-prlcka without a visible shrinking. Mrs. Stone has that faculty. She goes smil ing through the administration ami that cheery gift of hor's is at once pot ent and charming. She doesn't carry the factional wars of politics into her social life. Tin other day at the Pittsburg celebration of the Tenth regiment's return stm was the recipient of endless courtes'i from Mrs. William C Fllnn and M' Chris Mngee. and she entered Into all the entertainment with the utmost delight. "Why shouldn't I'.'" she asked? "They were my friends before all this hateful quarrel began between their husbands and the Quay people. Why should we women take up the differ ences We are none the less loyal to our private lews and our own sld of the question." Tho exquisite courtesy of Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith was re ceived In th spirit which actuated that polished olllcial and she did not try to remember that there htid been diffi culties between her faction and his. Mrs. Stone Is never cold, never repel lent, never anything but gracious to even those who hove mnde the bitter est attacks or. the administration which her vivacity and responsiveness have dono much to render popular. W She does many n graceful llttie r.ct that tho public never hears about. For Instance the other day a special car was provided for the governor's party of four from Northumberland .n the Delaware, Lackawanna mid Western railroad. As the trulu proeoedid ieo ple began to crowd the remaining cars until they re filled to overflowing. At Mrs. Stone's earnest request the door ot the governor's car wns opened to admit the throng. "Why should wo seo them crushed In there." slfo de manded, "when wo havo n big cur for ourselves?" So they crowded In to such n degree thnt It was decidedly un comfortable lor tho odlcial party, but there was no expression of annoyance on my lady's smiling lips. After tho long wenrylng rldo she sat for two hours on tho plntlorm nt the post olllce before tho pnrndo passed. When sotno one expressed sympnthy for tho tiresome wait, she replied with nnlmntlon, "Oh, I'm resting nnd en Joying It. I Illco to look out upon nil these people." nnd so she sromed to "enjoy It" even If It meant nearly nn nil night rldo ngaln nnd nn nwnkenlng at six tho following morning with a repetition ot the programme. Men really do enjoy that sort of thine. They like to go to three ban quets n dny and march In a pnrndo be tween times with n pink apron and a succession of badges adorning thtlr persons, but tho nvorage woman would bo heny-oycd and ns cross ns two sticks If she took In many such cele brations. Everyone who knows anything about tho executive mansion nt Hnrrlsburg knows that It Is built close ' to the street Just as nil the houses In tho old Pennsylvania German towns. It Is a handsome brown stone on Fourth street near the river bank with a beautiful view between the fine trees nlong the pnrk like boulevard groen. All the lawn space Is in tho rear and here Mrs. Stone's tnsto has distinguished Itself In nn Innovation for the quiet conservative city. That "back yard" has been her pride and delight tho past summer and rIio has beautified It to such a degtee that with the fair hosters to receive the guests It hns been the most popular spot In the city to both the olllcial set .nd tho town society. It has been living room, drawing room nnd tea-house. Gny awn ings shelter the grassy plots. Above them bend tho branches of huge trees and here nnd there are scattered rnttan chairs nnd lounges, tables with hooks and papers, a basket with a bit of em broidery, a tray with cool lemonade, n pot of ferns, and high ngaln.it tho wall gigantic palms and tropical plants. It Is here that Senator Quay declared lis should stay instead of going Into the hot nnd exciting convention the other week. It is hete that the greatest pol Itlclans of the State have gathered of nn evening, nnd It is here that a group of ladles will lie found chatting during the bright summer mornings. Under the pretty nwnlngs Is spread the lunch table and at- night brilliantly glowing with electric lights in jewel Ilk splendor, many Informal receptions are held.. That lovely garden hag been Mrs. Stone's grentet success during this first venr of the new administra tion and who shall deny that Its charm ing Influence may not smooth many of the rough places which most women find so trying In .-illclnl life? It Is in this little fairy land that tho Blngham ton umbrella of red, white and blue, nnd of parade fame will blithely sway In the breeze. SAUCY BESS.

In tin f.yi'i'iim last dIkIU the Bos ton Herenaders presented what the au thor Is pleased to term "the nautical, farcical operetta entitled 'Davy Jones." Fred Miller, Jr.. Is responsible for the words and music. It Is presumed that Mr. Miller Is a youiif? man and that his work will lin jirov.o .with uri'. "Davy oJnes" Is by no means a bad start and In future we may conlldcntly expect other national, farcical operettiiH that will ho even more farcical than the one he Is now exploiting The presumption Is of pours, that a national, farcical operetta li fcrs in some subtle way from a plilu farcied operetta and If those who saw last night's performance were not able to pick out the national aspe -t they can console themselves with tha assur ance that It was there; not obti'ejively there, you may understand, bu: really and Hurely there, nevertheless. The operetta Is In three acts and Is nicely stnKi'd. Thero nre sevt-cil good voices In the company and the s,clos and concerted nieces were w'l rei tiered. Several of them won repeated encores.
