Church nnd Social Clubs Batch of Condensed News Matters The Popularity of Congressman C. Fred Wright A Few Other Personal Pickups. Fpcclil to the Seranlon Tribune. Sitsquehnnnn, Auk. 14. White exca vating for a cellar near Stnrrucca, it few days ulnce, workmen discovered the pent Mod tcmalns o nn animal, es timated to have been nineteen feet lone The bkcleton lay on Its side, under the roots of an oak tree. One of the forelcRH Is missing. One of the hind legs had hern broken off nt the knee. A part of the head was In tho crevice of a rock nearby. Lime water falllnjr on the hones had turned them Into stone. The outlines of the body nre quite perfect. The teeth are six inches Ions, and quite regular. Some of the vicinity farmers believe tho bones to be thofe of some giant animal of the horse species, while a local Geologist is sure that they are those of a mastodon. There arc foot prints In a soft rock In tho vicinity as largo as a half-bushel measure. Th hones have been carefully packed and pent to the professors at Syracuse uni versity. Their verdict Is eagerly await ed by the people of Starrucca and vicinity. SOMR PERSONAL PICKUPS. Colonel Charles C. Pratt's boom for mate senator for this district is In a healthy condition. He is in every way splendidly equipped for tho position. William J. Pike, of Hallstead, Con gressman Grow's private secretary, Is luxuriating under orange trees in Cali fornia, seeking health and recreation. Hon. James T. Dullols and family, of Hallstead, are speeding homo from Switzerland and the Paris exposition. A warm welcome home awaits them. Captain II. P. Peardsley, of Mont rose, I3 tho only major general In Sus quehanna county. His veterans, like himself, have all seen real war. All too soon they will pass over the river and rest in the shadow of the trees. John M. Kelly, esq., of Montrose, the choice of tho Democracy of Susque hanna county for congressman, has not yet engaged quarters in Washing ton. All the same, "John M." would fill the position with ability and credit. Some sweet day this district may be Democratic, and then ! CAUGHT EN ItOUTE. It seems that a good many people went to Paris, forgetting that there was no box car route back. A "Hopper" is defined as a man that leaves his party because he cannot take it with him. An exchange thinks the Democrats would have a good chance If they were to sue the Poxers for damages to the issue of antl-lmperlalism. It Is easier to love a poor girl than a rich one, because there Is less com petition. When one woman out of a hundred has nothing to pay, the other ninety nine are asking what is the matter with her. A philosopher says a nice kind of a person Is one who does not hold you responsible today for what you said yesterday. FAMILY REUNIONS. It Is an Inclement day when there is not a family reunion somewhere in Susquehanna county. These are an nual occasions, when rich relatives tol erate their poor ones; when execrable cooking passes muster without cuss words; nnd when "the oldest inhabit ants" swap lies to their heart's con tent. And yet there are mote afflic tions than annual family reunions. CHURCHES AS SOCIAL CLUBS. Rev. John Watson, widely known as "Ian Maclaren," Is of the opinion that many churches are rapidly becoming social clubs. The text of his criticism was founded on a postal card sent out by a Young Women's Christian asso ciation, which read word for word as follows: DO NOT FORGET. The next social. The next candy-pull. The next entertainment. The next song service. The next Gospel meeting. The next meeting of tho debating club. The next chlcken-plo dinner. The next date when you ought to make the secretary happy with your cash. SOME NEWS MATTERS. The Susquehanna High School Alum ni association will enjoy a steamer ride up the river on Tuesday evening. The big Free Methodist camp meet ing at Ararat opens on Wednesday. There will bo a great crowd on Sun Jay next. .rrha great temperance orator, John 3" Woollley, will be the star attrac :lon at the Ararat camp meeting on lilonday next. It will be a great day lor our Prohibition friends. After nil. there Is a good deal of lerolsm in voting one's convictions vith not the slightest possible chanco i a pecuniary return In tho shape of ifllciat emoluments! At Lestershire, on Saturday, the Ku eka club, of Providence, (Scranton), vas downed by the Lestershire club t nnd 2. At no stage of the game vere the Eureka's In It. FLOTSAM AND JETSAM. This Is the way a Thompson man eels about It: "I never was In the ilvll war; never hollered nt the sur- ender of the rebels, and never killed Illlllllllllllllllllllllllilillllllllllllllllllilltllllltllllllj BEEGHMS!

WuymMA4iiiimiuu-'iuiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiir anybody that let me alone: and the only thing I know about the finnan clal question Is this I need money." Lots of people think they will bo en titled to n diamond-studded crown In the other world because they drop a penny In tho contribution plato every Sunday. Canton, China, and Canton, Ohio, are now most Important places on tho map. The Prohibitionists ought to 'tako courage. The grasshoppers are eating the Michigan mint crop, Pathlng suit skirts nre unusually short this season. The bicycle girl hat made tho ordinary bathing suit quite uninteresting. Mrs. Icelyna Pest, of this county, Is suing for dlorce. A coldness seems to have sprung up between her nnd her husband. Perhaps her name did It. POPULAR AT HOME. Our congressman, Hon. C. Fred Wright, Is popular with tho people of his town nnd county, because of his fair and honorable methods of doing business, nnd all slanders against him, put In circulation by disappointed nnd disgruntled people, will fall as seed sown wheie is no depth of earth. Tho best criterion by which to Judge a public man is by his reputation and popularity at home, nnd It Is certain from the strength of Mr. Wright's for tifications that he will scarcely stoop to notice tho attacks of blood-suck-lng Insects which nttempt to buzz nround him from certnln sections out side of his own county. Mr. Wright has made a most excellent record In congress, nnd ho will be returned by n handsome, Increased, majority. Whitney.

TRIBUNE'S EDUCATIONAL CONTEST Yesterday's Returns Made No Change in the List. HOW THB LEADERS SI AND Charles Rodriguez, 428 Webster avenue. Oliver Civllnhnn, 415 Vine street. David V. Blrtley, 103 West Market street. Eugene Boland, 235 Walnut street. David C. Spencer, Bloomsburg. Arthur Kemmerer, Factoryvllle. Harry Reese, 331 Evans court. Sidney W. Hayes, 022 OHvo street. John F. Smith, 2532 Boulevard avenue. Miss Grace Slmrell, Carbondale. Edward Murray, 510 Hnmm court. Richard Roberts, 1303 Hampton street. Yesterday was the first day In some weekB when there was no chances In the standing: of contestants In The Tribune's Educational Contest. David V. Blrtley brought In the largest num ber of points, but Oliver Callahan also made some returns and Is still several points ahead. Arthur Kemmerer suc ceeded In getting; a Utttle nearer to David C. Spencer, but In his case, as In the others, the gains were not suf ficient to result In changes. With cooler weather and people be ginning" to return from summer vaca tions, the opportunities for securing subscriptions Increase. Contestants should bear this In mind and endeavor to make every day count. That Is the only way to maintain a position in the list, for Inactivity Is sure to result In a gradual dropping to the rear, while the more ambitious climb, step by stpp, to the top. Success means work, and continual work, but the labor Is not hard. It Is honest, clean employment, and the re sults within reach of all are well worth earnest efforts. THE MARKETS.
