BRIEF MENTION OF
MEN OF THE HOUR
JAMES A. LINEN OF TUB FIRST
NATIONAL.
This Year Ho Cslobratod tho Thirty
fifth Annivorsary of Ills Comio
tion with That Bank H la an
Authority in the Banking World.
Dr. Ftvton, tho World Famous
Missionary, Coming O. H. Hare,
'the Versatile Press Agent of tho
Bostock Bhow.
President Jamoa A. t,Inen, of this
First Nutlonal bank, this year cele
brates his thirty-fifth anniversary as
an employ of the Institution In rarl
ous official positions, and can be con
gratulated for his share In moklna- the
house one of the most successful finan
cial Institutions of the country. Mr.
Linen served In the Union army durinr
the war of the rebellion and entered
the bank Immediately at the close of
hostilities In ISC3. He has been con
tinuously In the employ of the bank
since and has ever been recognized
among the most conservative of the
financiers of Scrunton.
In social or business life President
Linen Is cordial but unostentatious, ap
parently taking greater pride In the
little Q. A. H. button that adorns the
lappel of his coat than in his reputa
tion ns a banker. Jir. Linen resides
with his family on Jefferson avenue
the greater portion of the time, but
they usually spend the heated" term
each season at his handsome summer
home near Dalton. He is one of the
authorities of the country on the bank
ing business and It Is In no silent decree
duo to his splendid management that
It occupies today sueh an enviable posi
tion among the financial Institutions
of the country. There are few bank
Rtocks In America that are quoted
higher In the market thau the First
National.
Ono of tho most remarkable men
of tho present day is ltev. J. O. Paton,
D. D who will preach In the First
Presbyterian church next Sunday. His
life reads Ilka & pago out of some
romance of other days. He has been
for years a missionary In the New
Hebrides and has had more adventures
than ordinarily fall to the lot of half
a dozen men. Those who know best
the details of his remarkable Ufa be
lieve that he has been protected by a
special Providence, Commenting on an
address he recently delivered to the
students of Union seminary, the New
York Observer said:
"He- addressed his remarks chiefly
to tho students of the seminary and
urged them to study the Dlble, which
he had found to be the 'Inspired word
of Ood from the first paga of Genesis
to the- last page of thu Revelation.'
He spoke- unsparingly, apparently hav
ing heard nothing of theological con
troversies in this country of the at
tempt to .separate the Hlble, calling a
part Action, and emphasized the state
ment that not one Jot or title should
pass away, A emlle was observed In
the crowded room ns he proceeded.
'The man who has faced cannibals,'
said a hearer at the close of the meet
ing, 'has no fear of critics.' "
Thoro are press agents and press
agents, but ono of the "slickest arti
cles" In that line, to use a slang ex
pression, that ever vltlted this city was
C. H. Hare, the gentleman who writes
dreams for thu big Bostock show,
which exhibited here last week. Mr.
Hare Is a newspaper man, as all genu
ine press agents are, ' and he must
have been a real good newspaper man,
for ho certainly Is a real good press
agent. Some of his special advanoe ar
ticles describing tho various features
of the show were marvels. Take his
description of the Streets ef all Nations
ror example. This he termed "a stu
pendous spectacle of International
splendor and gradeur," whore one
might see "the tall and swarthy Arab
In the picturesque garb of the desert,
tho piratical Malay direct from the
China reas, the Lascar with his queer
wares from India, the Kaffir and Zulu
In all their savage South African glory,
tho Spaniard with his Inevitable cigar
ette and profound polltneas," etc., ete.,
for upwards of three quarters of a.
column.
Without detracting from the merits
of this particular attraction, It must
be said with due eredlt that the man
who could call It a "stupendous spec
tacle of International splendor and
grandeur" and who was enabled to
see representatives of all of the abOTe
mentioned nationalities and several
others Inside its gates, Is certainly a
genuls "of the purest ray serene."
Personally Mr. Hare Is a very cour
teous gentleman and a delightful com
panion and the many friends he made
lu this city last week will look for his
next visit with pleasure.
Tho annual prize debato at Holy
Cross college this year was won by
Patrick J. Durltan, of this city, son
of Professor P. F. Durkan, principal
of public school No. J8, The contest
took place last Monday at Fenwlek
Hall. It Is the most important literary
event of the year and the gold medal
given to the winner Is the most coveted
prize awarded at this celebrated Insti
tution of learning. The qusstion dls
ousted was the merit of the Porto me
an tariff law. The winner was on the
negative side of the question.

Boy Sues For tho Loss of a Hand.
Court Notes.
Judgo Archbald yesterday ordered
Perry Hetiel, of Dalton, held under
(COO ball to answer at the October ses
sions for attempting by fraudulent
means to have himself declared an In
solvent. At a reeent term of court HeUel
was saddled with costs In a caee
brought against him by a young wo
man with . nameless child. Follow
ing the custom of about everybody
else, he proceeded to escape paying
the costs try having himself declared
Insolvent,
The petition In Insolvency was duly
filed by his attorney, Joseph Jeffreys,
and yesterday the matter came up for
a final hearing. Ordinarily these
hearings are a mere formality In which
the petitioner says "yes' or "no," as
may be appropriate to the prescribed:
questions. It was different, however,
In Hetsel's case. Attorney n. H. Hoi.
gate, who represented the prosecutrix
In the quarter sessions esse, appeared
to oppose the retltlon and succeeded In
not only having It refused, but in
having Hetsel held for court on the
serious charge -of fraudulently at
tempting to be declared an Insolvent.
It was established prima facie that
Hetsel signed over a property to a
woman who is living with him in tho
eapaclty of housekeeper and that this
was done for the purpose of avoiding
payment of the costs In question. A
number of things were Insinuated at
the hearing, which promise to makes
the trial an Interesting and spicy one.

NATIONAL COMMITTEES.
Tho System by Which Presidents
Are Made.
L. A. Coolldge, In Ainslee's Vagarlne.
The National committee Is the crea
ture of the National convention. At ev
ery convention each state delegation
meets and selects th man who la to
represent the party In the State and
national organization, and tho com
mittee they created ecasos to exist
when the next National convention Is
called to ordor. This is true both of
the Republican and of the Democratic
parties. But there Is a difference be
tween the active working organisation
of the two great political bodies. The
executives ofTlcors of the Democratic
committee are selected from the com
mittee Itself. A different system has
grown up among the Republicans, It
has happened in tho last two cam
paigns that the man at the head of the
Republican organization was not even a
memTjer of tht National committee as
originally constituted. This has grown
out of the fact that the candidate for
President Is allowed to select the chair
man of the Executive eommlttee,whlch
Is Intrusted with the active work of tho
campaign. In 1801 William J. Campbell
of Illinois, a member of the National
committee, was selected as chairman.
Obpeetton was made to him on account
of certain business associations which,
it was feared, would not be politically
advantageous, and, although he re
mained as chairman of the National
Committee, President Harrison selected
Thomas n. Carter, of Montana, as
chairman of the Executive committee,
although Carter was not a membor of
the National committee at all, It was
Carter who conducted the campaign.
In ISM Mark Hanna, of Ohio, who
had managed the canvass for McKln
ley's nomination was selected by tho
candidate to be chairman of the Execu
tive committee. The member of tho
National committee from Ohio was
Charles L. Kurtz. In fact, tho actual
management of the Republican cam
paign In 1S06 was In the hands of an
executive committee which was really
an excresetmce upon the larger body.
At least four members of the Executive
committee In that year, Including the
chairman, Mr. Hanna; the secretary,
General Osborne; the treasurer, Cor
nelius N. Bliss, and Charles G. Dawes,
of Illinois, were not members of the
National committee. When General Os
borne resigned as secretary to become
Amerlean consul at London, his place
was taken by Charles Dick, of Ohio,
now a representative In congress, who
had no official connection with the
larger body. Besides an Executive
committee made up of National com
mittee members living, as a rule, near
headquarters, the Democrats In 1J95
had a Campaign committee consisting
partly of members of the National com
mittee and partly of outsiders, This
body corresponded to the Executive
committee on the Itepubllean side.
Daniel J. Campau. of Michigan, was
at Its head. Other members were W. A.
Clark, of Montana; Clark Howell, of
Georgia; James Kerr, of Pennsylvania;
John R. McLean, of Ohio, and Thomas
Oahan, of Illinois.
