In his sermon last Sunday he made some very foice ful remarks against Intemperance, condemning the sale of intoxicants at picnics and excursions. At the three masses tills morning the reverend father reiterated his last Sunday's re marks, and referred especially to an excursion to bo run to Lake Ariel next Thursday by the Henry Grattan soci ety. Father Garvcy said he was sur prised to learn that the society In tended to have beer on sale, notwith standing his objections to such action by societies of St. John's parish. Ho advised his parishioners to attend only non-beer selling excursions and sus pested that the Henry Grattan soci ety should advettlso in the press wheth er or not intoxicants would be placed on sale. JIc said he expected to be In Hawley on 'Wednesday, and would pay n. visit to the Lake Atlol picnic grounds on Thursday. The action of the Men's union of Scranton In clearing the town of speakeasies and Sunday beer sellers was commended and the hope ex pressed that their lnfluenco would ex tend to Plttston.

Parker, tax collector of Manchester, was murdered In 1M3, after being enticed from his house, nnd $7,000 was taken from him. Hi throat had been cut with a razor. According to Nathaniel P. Ames, ol Medlord, Mas, a resident of this city at the time of tho murder, who has wen a letter written by General 11. F. llutler, one of Parker's murderers was Daniel I'ierson, executed In 1S49 for the mur. der of a fvnlly in Wilmington, Mass.

A new Ilubalyat is announced by William Poxey, with Illustrations which aro distinctly Oriental both In conception and in execution. These Illustrations are the work of lllw Florence Lundborg, a California girl, who has been study. Ing for tererat years at the Whistler academy in Paris, and at other equally celebrated studios In France and Italy. For tho rt three ycar she has devoted her attention almost exclusively to the Rubalyat with the desire to make her Illustrations a student's elucidation of tho text, rather than a mere series ol pleasing decora tions accompanying it. The volume is now In the hands of tht Cambridge University Tress, the best of efforts! being exerted to make it a perfect book In every particular; and It is safe to say that when it appears it will be a credit to the Sign of the Lark, which publishing house lately moved from San Francisco and estab lished Itself in New York, at No. IS Kast Sev enteenth street. Frank Leslie's l'onular Monthly for Septem ber illustrate! the possibilities of a magarlne which alms to keep in toueli with tho serious interests of the more intelligent men and wo men of today, as well as to amuse every reader by cleverness and variety. The leading article Is a personal record of almost unparalleled ad venture, written by W. Walton, chief quarter master of our navy, who shared with Lieuten ant fllllmoro a captivity of more than eight months among the Filipinos. Thrilling as a story, the narrative gives ono a new Insight into the character of the Filipino people. The much talked of Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minis ter at Washington, contributes an Intelligent paper upon his own people, and this is rein forced by an article telling Just the facts about the Boxers which few people know, and ever) body wants to know. The August Century Is out of rrint, as the result of tho popular Interest In Miss Itunkle's hlstorlcil romance, "The Helmet of Navarre," which begins in this number. Miss Hertha Hun kle is tho only child of Mrs. L. G. ltunklef a well-known New York Journalist, ami one of the editors of the "Library of the World's nest Literature." The present work is a maiden effort at fiction writing. She was born In New Jersey a few and twenty jears ago, never went to kindergarten as a child, nor to college as a joung woman, has traveled little, and has never been In France which possibly accounts for her lajlng there the scene of her romance. Current History for August presents a con cise and elaborately Illustrated resume of the world's doings during tho month preceding. Few readers maj realize the Immense labor and care expended In the production of such a work as this earh month. It Is Invariably well done, covering the entire Held in each number, Impartial In its statement of facts, and with due regard to the relative Importance of events. It enables busy men and women to keep thor oughly posted on all matters. A hipplly conceived story of homo sentiment and domestic trials Is published In fumptuniu fashion by Laird and Lee, Chicago, under the title. "Hreside llittles." Its author, Mlwi Annie G. Drown, has drawn a faithful picture of tnc aristocratic life ol the south "befoh de wan" and of the tuniitlons forced by the war's hard ships and deprivations, and hcV theme is how onj plucky yov.mj woman carried a helpless house hold through the struggle from the old foot ing to the new. "A Private Chivalry" is the title of the new novel by Francis Lynde, which Messrs. I). Ap plcton & compiny announce for early publica tion. The scene, which is laid In Colorado, shifts from the stirring life of a mining camp to Denver, and the story is said to be remark able for dramatic actions and suspended inter est. General Jacob D. Cox (who his been gover nor of Ohio and secretary of the interior, as well as a noted general in the civil war) will contribute to the September Scribner's a very illuminating account of General Itosecrans and the putting of General Gunt in chief com mand during the Chiekamaiiga campaign. A second edition of Dr. V. K, Parton's new novel, "Pine Knot," has been called for, al though the book has been published little more than a fortnight. TRIBUNES EDUCATIONAL CONTEST Dayid C.

Saturday's returns in The Tribune's Educational Contest were the largest that have yet been recorded, with one exception. The past three days have all been good ones. The competitors are all working enthusiastically, es pecially those near the top of the list, tho leaders all st living to maintain their advantage and those In close proximity seeking hard to close up the gaps separating them from others oc cupying more exalted positions. The only change In position noted Satur day was David C. Spencer, of Blooms burg, who advanced from fifth to fourth position, thereby displacing Thigeno Boland, who has held that place for s-evoral days. David C. Blrt ley took a fresh grip on third place by a good day's work, and Charles Rodriguez continued his systematic record. As the time draws closer to ward the finish of the contest, some of the contestants further down In the list may be depended upon to make It lively for those now. above them, and it will bo Interesting to watch the changes that take place from day to day. There still remain six weeks before the contest closes, and the time for entering was never better, as public Interest has been aroused and more thoroughly stimulated than It was during the first weeks of tho contest, and many persons have only recently become familiar with the details and merits of this competition.

The Erie shop men on Saturday enjoyed their annual excursion to Elmlrn, They packed nineteen cars, and several hun ched mote were unable to go, on ac count of a lack of cars. The Susque hnnna band fut nlfehed music for tho event. The funeral of Mrs. Harriet Agnew, late of Jackson street, took place on Sntuiday afternoon from the Baptist chutch, Ilev. B. II.

Prof. Bariett Is a thorough Instruc tor and a genial gentleman Jermyn Is In luck. It has made no mistake. There was a great crowd today at the Freo Methodist Camp meeting at Aiarat Summit. There will be another large one on Monday, when John G, "Woolley speaks, Ilev. AV. A. Dcnnlson, of Montrose, occupied the pulpit of the Baptist church today. The church Is yet with out a regular pastor. The Erie will purchase a largo num ber of new passenger coaches before HE ATLANTIS was not a laigo building. It was tall and very narrow, and con tained but 40 business ten ants all told. Among the occupants was Geoige Fran cis Garvin, whose bright. new door sign nppeared facing the solitary elevator shaft on the 'eleventh floor. If Mr. Garvin's sign could be believed, he was a brok er, but there was little proof of the fact beside the sign. His office furni ture and rugs were painfully new, his new typewriter had scarcely been seen outside of its metnl coveting, and the handsome file cases about his desk weto as empty as when they left tho cabinet maker. The fact Is. George Francis Garvin, aged 2G, had Just settled down to business and wns now in the expect ant and receptive stage. He was not looking for business with any great amount of zeal, but his door was open and he was on hand, prepared to an swer all demands. This particular morning he reached the Atlantis bright and early. "Good mornln", sir," said Jamie Doyle, tho elevntor boy, as Georgo stepped Into tho waiting car. "Good morning, Jamie?," said the broker In his pleasant voice. He ha 1 a wonderful way with him with chil dren nnd dogp, nnd something In his tones encouraged Jamie. "We'te Imvln' a lot of trouble at home, sir," he said. "Fathers oft ngnln, an' I was lookln' for him half the night. I'd bo lookln' for him nn-v If It wasn't for losln' my Job. Th' longer he stays nway tho worse he gets. An' mother's sick abed, an' Katie's Just gettln' over a fever." Ho ended his dismal statement with a lltttle sniff. "That's bad," said George Gaivln "Can't you find a substitute'.'" "No," teplled the liny. "I wouldn't dare to. Mr. Abbott's down on me now for lieln' late twice on father's account. If he saw a stiango boy In my place he'd flro me sure." They had reached the eleventh floor. "Heie," said Georgi-, "I guess I'll go down with you ngaln." Ho looked at the boy as they descended. He was a neat bov nnd a clean one. Ho was pale and haggard this morning and his eyes were rod. and his hands tiembled, "How long do you think It will tako you to find your e?(tlmnbla parent?" George asked. "No time at all," said tho boy eag erly. "There ain't but a few mote places to look." "Go and look foi him," said George; "I'll take your place," "You!" cried the boy. "But Mr. Ab bott?" "I'll attend to him, too " said George. "Don't worry about that, nun along." "Are you sine jou know how?" quer ied the boy anxiously. "Quite sure," said George. When tho tenants began to como In ho exerted himself to catch the direc tion they gave him. They stated hard at the perfectly diessed Hummer young man, but he was a newcomer nnd no body seemed to know him. When In descended to the ground floor he found tho agent of tho building waiting to take the upward Journey. The agent stared at him. "How's this?" ho asked. "Where's the boy?" "Can't say, I'm sure," replied George with much calmness, "He was called away by a sudden domestic nllllctlon. Going up?" "Twelfth floor," said George: "all out." He looked hard at the pom pous little agent. "Going down?" he asked, and pulled the descending rope. "Mr. Garvin," said tho agent, "you ought to undet stand that we can't have our employes Interfered with in this manner. You nre evidently try ing to shield the boy. It won't do. I told him that the next time ho ab sented himself from his post he would be discharged without futther notice. By your Ill-considered action you havp simply helped to deprive him of his position." "Gtound floor," announced George; "all out." He unlntched the Iron door and pushed It open. "Going up!" he asked, as ho turned and glanced at tho agent, "Mr. Garvin," said the latter, with dramatic earnestness, "I must request you to leave this building when your month is up. I will gladly refund the rent you have advanced if you will leave at once." "Couldn't think of if,' said George. "Not even to oblige you, Mr. Abbott. No, I mean to stay and the boy will stay, too. Twelfth floor, going down?" "Why, confound It, sir," cried tho agent, "you talk as It you owned this building!" "Why not?" asked George, the Imperturbable. The agent stared at him and drew back a little. "What do you mean?" he ciled. "You get your authority here from Attorney Jcthro Browning," said George, without looking at him; "And Attorney Browning acts as trustee for the Francis estate." "Yes," said the agent sharply. "What of that?" "I 'am tho Francis kttate," said George Francis Garvin mildly. "Ground lloor, all out." This time tho agent heeded the an nouncement and stepped from the car. Ills florid fac was pale. "The boy stays?" asked George, with the slightest Interrogative Inflec tion. "The boy stays," replied the agent. "Good morning," said George. As the discomfited official passed through tho outer door a radiant vis ion entered. It wns Miss Mary Arm strong In her new summer attire, and Miss Mary was a lovely girl, and her attire was decidedly fetching. As George saw her coming he stood a little stralghter. "Fourth floor, please," she said as she tripped Into the car. Then she looked up and recognized tho new elevator man with a little gasp. But ho paid no attention to her as he latched the iron door and drew on the hoisting rope. Ho was the ele vator man now. Besides, It was this girl who had told him he had no ob ject In life; that he had no heart, no sympathy. And she was the one girl In all the world whose good opinion ha valued most. What would sho think of him now? "Fourth floor," he said, and he stopped the car with beautiful ex actness. "Thirteenth, please," said Miss Mary with a touch of wonderment In her voice that conveyed the Impression that he must have misunderstood her. "Sorry," said George, without look ing around, "but It's against the rules to run the elevator any higher than the roof " "The twelfth will do." said Miss Mary, as If graciously yielding a dis puted point. Then sho sweetly added, "But I fear I will have to report you for a lack of willingness to oblige your patrons." "I must call your attention, ma'am," said George, "to the fact that patrons ate requested not to converse with the elevator boy while on duty. It dis tracts his attention. Twelfth floor." "Going down, please," announced Miss Mary. Then she gently mur mured. "I don't suppose there Is nny rule against a patron talking to herself, is there?" Ho did not an swer. "I wonder why he Is running an elevator?" she softly soliloquized. "I suppose it's because of a bet Men always do queer things because of a bet. I wish It was for some other reason, for he certainly runs It very well. I've no doubt ho could do many thins very well If he tried. He needs an honest friend to tell him so." She paused, but George did not look around. "Ground floor, all out," he said and reached across as he pushed back the Iron door. Miss Mary sat still. And Just then a boy ran In from the sldcwnlk. His face was glowing, his breath was short. "Oh, Mr. Garvin!" he cried. "Did you have any trouble, and will I loss my job?" "Not a bit of trouble," replied George, as he stepped from the car, "and your Job Is safe. "Oh, thank you, Mr. Garvin," cried the grateful boy. "I found father very soon an' Just in time to savo him from th' patrol. An' mother sends her blessln', sir." "Thank you," said George. "Your car 13 waiting." "It was awful cheeky of me to let a gentleman like you take my place," finished the boy; "I didn't think what I wa3 doln' until nfterwards, sir." "That will do, Jamie," said George, and turned from htm. And then a vision of white suddenly confronted him In the doorway of the car. " George," said Miss Mary Arm strong. He looked around nt her, his face flushing, and lifted his hat. "George," she said as she stepped toward him, "I come down to ask papa to go with me to luncheon but I'd rather go with you. Will you take me?" He bent forward quickly nnd whis pered something that brought the quick color to her cheeks. "Going up?" called Master Jamie, as ho clicked the iron gate. But they did not heed htm. Cleve land Leader. THE MARKETS. Wall Street Review. New York Au;r. 18.
