THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1900.

ANY LADIES who remained In
the city during the sweltering
weather of the past week hnvo
felt compensated by the visit
of Madame Do Oollere Daven
port and the amount of benefit and
advice received from her. It Is prob
I able that not oven Mrs. Horer, who
v turned the city, Its pots, pan, groceries,
t.-occrymen, etcetra, topsy-turvy,
created such a decided furore as has
this well known npostlo of health and
beauty. People often know very well.
Indeed, how to take care ot themselves
and preserve their youth, but they are
prone to put off the day of rcfoim un
less somebody comes nlong to stir
them up. No one has over evinced
such possibilities of "stirring" In this
vicinity as the lady In tiestlon and
the secret Is probably her sincerity
and her complete knowledge of the
subject treated.
The Bieat difficulty with Scranton
women Is their Industrious jmrsult of
fads by spasms. They are not Indo
lent, but they are easily diverted fiom
a purpose anil the occupation or
amusement or exercise which today
absorbs every thought and aim will
next week be abandoned for some
thing new. It means work, and hard
work, to follow out the pilnclples ad
vocated In this system. It means
methodical arrangement of the day
and so practicable and sensible nre the
suggestions that no woman who fol
lows the prescribed rules can fall to
see herself rapidly transformed in
feeling as well as appearance. It Is
certainly worth the effort.
Another class In physical training
Is to be formed. A mellmlnary talk
will be given by Madame Davenport
at the Jerniyn Monday morning at 10
o'clock, to which all Interested In the
logical development of the body and
the corresponding grace of appearance
are invited by the ladles In charge.
Deputy Attorney General Fleitz re
turned from llnrrlsburg yesterday. Ho
spent last Saturday In 'Wyoming coun
ty and was surprised to find so many
guests at the Falls' notel and to see
so many men along the river pieparing
for llshlng expeditions. Inquiry
brought out the Information that they
were nearly nil, to the number of one
bundled, from "Wllkes-Uarre. Profes
sor Coles In Storms and Signs hail
predicted Saturday last us being the
best day for llshlng In the whole round
yeai. AVIlkes-Harre's citizens have a
simple and childlike faith in Professor
Coiis, hence the exodus of fishermen.
So lmpiessed was Mr. Fleltz with their
trust that he decided to fish also.
They fished, the one hundred and onn
citizens. It was very hot, they llshed
patiently and continuously, but the
round up at night could but produco
a single solitary fish as far as detected
In the entire outfit.

period n( the anti-slavery contest and the early
jears of the civil war. In addition to the series
of adventures Involved in this phase of the

had more than one nanovv escape from death.
For several months these men traveled hundreds
of miles through the heart of Luzon, enduring
unspeakable hardships, with no prospect of es
cape from an awful fate at the hands of blood
thirsty Tagals. The Illustrations by W. 11. Leigh
after the author's own sketches are marveloiuly
graphic.
"The Jay-Ilawkcrs," Mrs. Adela K. Orpcn's
forthcoming romance, deals with a theme so
stirring and full of interest that Its neglect by
writers of fiction seems suiprlsing. She pic
tures the Free Soil and Ilorder llullian conflict In
Missouri and Kansas, and Introduces the notorious
guerrilla (hiantrell, together with a dramatic
picture of the sack of Lawrence. Although Mrs.
Oipen Hies at present in Kngland, her child

memories are reflected In "The Jay-Haw'kers,"

from her love of the theme. Mrs. Stlckney has
written many short stories, several of which
have been translated for French publications, but
"Ilrown of Lost Hlvcr" Is her most Important
work,
"An International Wheat Corner," by J. D.
Whelpley, In the August MtCluro's, gives ft some
what startling revelation of a proposition made
not long ago by the ltusslan government to the
United States, whereby the two nitlons should

vein, U will present several sltintlons bordir
lug on the inelodiamatle. Special effort will be

Julia Marlowe has written the following letter
to the Philadelphia Presss: "My attention ha
been called to the following paragraph, which
has been going the rounds of the press: 'Julia
Marlowe Is emoted as having said recently to
one of her friends: "I am going to make a
change. I am under contract to present 'When
Knighthood Was In Flower, and I shall give
this play next season. After that I am going
to play jour 'Saphos,' jour 'Zazas,' and jour
'Ileeky Slurp.' Whj? Simply because I am
tired of the goodj -goody dramas, and I want tu
make a change. I want a different public. My
public has been very generous, and I hope that
I have not been ungrateful, but I long to attract
those who arc not governed merely by beautiful
sentiment, but who know life and do not hesi
tate to see it represented truthfully rather than
Ideally on the stage," I am utlerlv at a los
to imagine the source from which this lias ema
nated, as I would be the last prison to give
expression to such Ideas as are hue attributed
to me. I have no intention or desire to change
the general policy of my productions, the pur
suance of which lias won me the support, and, I
hope, the respect of the I heater-goers of America
My intention is rather to present the higher
forms of the classic and poetic drami, as far a
the public will support me In such presenta
tions, than to enter a Held In which I have
never sought recognition, Furthermoic. 1 am
not tempted to such a change of policy by finan
cial considerations, as 1 believe that 1 can safely
6ay that my earnings have been greater on the
whole than they would have been had I pursued
a different policy. I believe also that I mav
find ample opportunity for the presentation of
those things that are truest in life as well as
all that is most beautiful in art, in the plays
with which my namolias been associated, and I
wish to assure those who are interested In my
work that my future production will be made
with the best hope, and highest purpose of the
litis U view."

! HER POINT OF VIEW
"I've been fnt-headed enough to be
lieve tlmt I untlcrstooel women pretty
thoroughly," remnrkeel a prominent
reshlcnt of this city yesterday. "Hut
I've decided tlmt I'm an old fool. For
Instnncc, amonR my delusions was that
it woman docfin't worry much nbout
her own pcisonnl appearance when she
linn been mnrrlcd a good many yenta
unci linn grown-up children. Then I've
held to the belief that no woman, how
ever saintly, If she la told something
that will benefit her and which most)
of the other women don't know, Is go
ing to confide It to them so that they
can have ccjual advantages?" "Well, I
(should say you were a dunce," Inter
polated n plain-spoken woman ac
quaintance. "Goodness me, don't' you
know that we nic so delighted to bo
the Ilrst to tell a new toilet fad or a
cure for ihcumntlsm that we'd give
It to our bitterest' enemy?" The man
stared nt her wonderlngly and then
remarked, "That certainly Is queer
and I don't mote than half believe It
yet. Do you suppose a woman who
was balil-headed and found out a
remedy would tell other bald-headed
women so that they could look nn well
as she with a new growth of hair?
Not a bit of It." And then he con
tinued while his listener looked too
disgusted for words;
"Now, there's my wife. She's fifty
years old If whe's a day, although I
don't know yet her exact age. There
may be- men who think they know
their wives' ages, but they'll- Just as
gibbering Idiots as I've been. Well,
this morning what do you suppose? 1
was deeping beautifully when sudden
ly I dreamed that n stiect car had
gotie- cut the track nnd had walked up
our fiont steps Into the hall and run
over my feel'. I awoke Just In time to
see that womnn tuill over the font of
the bed like a pte-mlllenlallte and (,-'
ket flump on the Hour. She hnd used
my feet as a springboard Is the- way I
figure It out. and she Innded so solid
tlvt t''e cook came upstalis and said
there hnd been some kind of an
eatthquake In the dining-room. Sly
wife weighs LS0 with her shoes on, and
J'ou know they say a woman weighs
from eight to ten times ns much with
them off. Did you ever hear yourself
walk th Unor In your bare feet? I'll
bet a hat you shake the entire house.
W-ell. whatever she was trying to do
she was like Dallas Hreen and his
lljlng machine when she came to
alight. I w.is so scared that I kept still
to see what she would do next. I'll
glc- you my word for It she tiled to
turn a cait wheel, such as I did when
I was a kid. My wife, fifty years old
if flhcj Is a day! She couldn't do It
and took a header Into the sofa. Then
she did a soit of cake walk on her toes
and thon a kind of dizzy perfoimanee
like a ballot dancer or u whirling Der
vish In the Midway, and my wife isn't
now proportioned for ballet dancing,
whatever she may be in another world.
Then but really I don't expect you to
believe this but my wife, llfty If she
Is a day, tried to kick the chandelier.
I simply couldn't stand such lunatic
proceedings any longer and I yelled,
"Mary Jane, what under heaven Is the
matter with you, and what do you
think will become of me and the chil
dren If you disgrace us?" And then I
tiled to calm her clown and get her
Into a frame of mind where I could
reason with her. Well, do you know
she wasn't excited at all. She was as
cool and calm as I am this minute a
sight cooler. She Just remarked very
sweetly, "Oh, John, you awake? I
was Just doing my exercises." Think
of It! Fifty years old If she is a day
doing "exercises," nnd of that kind,
too! All the exercises a woman of
that age needs Is to wnlk more and
hustle around the kitchen.
Then this aggrieved specimen ot
mankind proceeded: "I shouldn't so
much mind It If you women wanted to
start on some new fad, under the hal
lucination that you nre Improving
yourselves. I shouldn't care If you
wanted to use curry combs and scrub
bing brushes on your own visages, or
If you wanted to eat snails, or glass,
or any other confounded thing. What
I do kick about, and most emphatlc
all Is the way you will persist In
making everybody else under the same
roof follow your fads.
"Now, I don't care a rap about my
complexion. Indeed, I think It Is rather
good. ('Of course,' ejaculated, sotto
oce, the woman who listened, 'What
man ever thought ho could be impioved
upon In any way?') If my wife think;',
nt her age, a diet of cow feed will re
new her youth, she has mj1 permission
to try It, and I'll pay the doctor's bills
that are sure to ensue, but I don't
propose to eat a raw carrot every
motulug before bieakfast. No, mn'atn,
not on your life! She hasn't any right
to try her loony expeilinents on me.
And what do you suppose happened
when I ilatly refused to eat raw car
rot grated up In a horribly unhealthy
looking mass? Why, she cried am de
clared that I never was sympathetic,
nnd never did get Interested la any
thing that she did, and that she want'd
to preserve my health and keep me
young! Great Scott!" And here the
speaker walked excitedly up and down
the room, while the woman who list
ened wondered whether they would
cnll the ambulance It she fell Into a
convulsion, because of the suppression
of merriment. "I leave It to you. Must
I eat such stuff, simply because some
body tells my wife it is good for the
health? I've lived to be llfty-llvo years
old without having to subsist on raw
carrots, and I don't mean to begin
now.
"Hut that Isn't nil," ho walled. "Yes
terday 1 sent up some nice fresh
cucumbers for lunch. I expected to see
them sliced thin, with cracked Ice. I
didn't see them. I asked wherefore. I
w-as Informed that my wife and the
iirls and her sister hnd used them In
washing their faces. 'Hut,' I declared,
'1 wanted them for lunch,' and my wife
In the best posslblo humor assured me
that they were a gieat deal better out
side of a person than In, and she had
saved part of one to rub on my face,

A BISHOP'S FUNNY STOBIES.
Entertaining Heminlscences of Cler
gymen and Parishioners.
Prom the London Morning Post.
The late bishop of Wakefield was n
remarkable man in many ways, distin
guished alike for deep, earnest piety,
unfailing cheerfulness nnd a stiong
sense of humor, and possessing to a.
marked degree the rare gift of gain
ing the love and esteem of his Hock.
He loved to hear a good story, and
throughout his life made It a practice
to enter the most nmusing Incidents
and anecdotes of his experience In a
notebook. The bulk of the nnecdotes
relate to persons connected with the
church, whether bishops, vlcais, cur
ates or humble vergers, but they nre
none the less amusing on that account.
Many of them center around Whlttlng
ton, the Shropshire parish of which
tho bishop was rector from 1S5I to 1879,
and of which his parlshloneis ho has
several quaint stories. For Instance:
"The following words are given ver
batim ns spoken by nn old woman In
the parish on the occasion of my llrt
visit soon after I became lector: 'The
old man nnd mo never go to bed, sir,
without singing the evening hymn.
Not that I havo got any voice left, for
I haven't, and ns for him, he's like a
bee In nbottle; nnd then he don't hu
mor the tune, for he don't rightly
know one tuno from another, and ho
can't remember the woids neither; so
when he leaves out a word I puts It
In, and when I can't sing I dances,
and so we get through It somehow.' "
Here Is another good story:
"A womnn In a small Welsh firm
house Whlttlngton Is on tho border
of Wales being taken very HI, a neigh
bor went for the clergyman, who said
ho would como dliectly. The neighbor,
going back to the farm house, said
they hnd better get out a nible, as the
parson might nsk for one. Thu farmer
thereupon told the woman sho would
find one, ho thought, at tho bottom or

Hut his curates and clerical friends
are responsible for even more droll
stories than the laity provided during
his rectorship, one of which deserves
quoting;
"The first time that Archdeacon
Wickham visited this deanery as arch
deacon I drove him to a parsonage,
where the Incumbent Insisted upon his
Inspecting everything. In the garden
Is a little pool, and over this pond we
beheld a strange erection of posts and
planks, with a sort of saddlellko seat
on the top. On the archdeacon asking
the Incumbent what It was, he ex
claimed with great delight that It was
a capital contrivance by which you
could take exeiclse and make yourself
useful by pumping water to the church,
where he had Just been building a
transept. So, saying that he would
show us, ho clambered up, sat down
on a saddle smiling and began to work
the tieadles eagerly. Unfortunately,
however, the woik at tho church hav
ing been .lust ilnlahed, the pipe which
had conveyed the water to tho work
men had been cut off Just above the
surface of the water. The consequence
was that he Immediately produced u
Jet of water which shot straight up
ward and almost lifted him off his seat,
entirely upsetting the archdeaconal
gravity. As we returned to the house
the Incumbent begged tho archdeacon
to go Into the back yard nnd smell
the pump, which, he said, stunk hor
ribly. Tho archdeacon protested that
he had no authority over pumps, but ho
would take no denial, and when he got
into the back yard he said: 'Now, Mr.
Archdeacon, if you will put your nose
to tho spout, I will pump.' Tho aich
deacon was, howover, quite equal to
tho occasion, and salrt: 'No, I depute
the rurat dean to put his noso to the
spout, and I will receive his report,
and. If needed, pronounce an ecclesias
tical censure."
A Voikshlre clergyman, wo nre told,
had to pay dearly for his good naturo
In taking an Incumbent's place at short
notice and preaching a borrowed ser
mon. "A fitiy, nervous clergyman near
Hradford was nbout to help a friend
by reading the prayeis when a mess
age camo to say that a neighboring In
cumbent was taken ill nnd to ask for
help. The rector could not go, so the
f i lend had to bo sent, but having no
sermon with him, he borrowed ono from

hand. Ho selected one well .written,

Here are other Yorkshire stories la
which the comic Is mixed with the pa
thetic: "A Yorkshire clergyman the other

lost his little boy, endeavored to con
solo him. Tho poor man, burst Into
tears, and In tho midst of his sobs ex
claimed: 'If 'twarna ng'ln flaw A'

"A clergyman visiting a dying man

to see ha could eat a little, when tho

THE ISOLATES OP ENGLAND.
Tho wind Ij liuihed; tho darkness Erowij '
The fainting moon Ij lost in flight;
Death lifts a somber hand, and throwa
Ills clouds across the face of nlKhU
With parted lips, anil hazard stare
That strives and strains to pierce the gloots
Kaih nation crouches In Its lair,
And, LreathUss, waits the coming doom.
i
Dim, shapeless shadows pan like e;host
Alonir tho trembling earth, that feel '
The distant tramp of marchlnK hokti,
And hear the smothered dash of steel
Till reaching out for friendly bands
To guide them throuuh the doom, they preu
To where one silent figure stands
Serene in lolly loneliness.
They hurl their taunts, their oaths, their prayers,
The snarl of greed, the growl of hatcj
They spit upon the cloak she wears,
Or grasp its hi m to mpplleate.
Hut still, as though she heard them not.
Ho ranxious eyes are lived afar
Among the clouds, on ono pale spot,
Wluro faintly gleams a tingle star,
'
lly that samn star sho chose her path
For every nlirht In wnbhnl years;
Though scuened by mills of doubt and wralb-
She sees It still, as though through tears;
Then, glancing at the fictful horde
Who call her now to bend the knee,
She la) a hand upon her sword
And turns, her fjes toward tho sea.
