tpeelsl to (lie Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, Jan. 4. While cutting
wood on tho mountains, near Cascade
Valley, a lumberman named Trescott
was accidentally ntruck upon tho head
with an uxo In the hands of a fellow
worknmn named Acker. At the time
of the accident Trcscott was telling n,
stoiy. Trcscott remained In a coma
tose condition for Just four weeks,
when a Dlngliumton surgeon per
formed an operation upon hit skull,
removing from the brain several small
particles of bone, when Trescott gradu
ally revived and completed the Rtory
commenced a month previous.
Trescott's remarkable memory Is tho
niarYcl of his neighbors, and they are
wont to ask, "Who else could survive
a. whack on the skull with an axe,
such oh he got, and then awake from
a. month's sleep of unconsciousness to
go on with the very story he was tell
ing at the time the blow felled him?"
Trescott himself Is somewhat puzzled
by the mental phenomenon. And the
surgeons, too, under whose skilful
fingers his brain cells were stirred to
activity again, were amazed when
their patient resumed tho story at the
very point the middle of the sentence
where the axe had Interrupted it.
Concerning tho strange case, Trescott
said: "The accidental blow from the
axe came while I was telling n. varn
to a man who was helping mo to chop
down a tree, and I remembered nothing
until I awoke with the doctors grouped
around the bed on which I lay. Even
tlien my mind was mighty hazy, and,
not realizing that I had met with an
accident, I simply began the story
where the awful whack had caused me
to stop. AVlth returning: consciousness
I thought I must have fainted, for it
seemed to me but a few seconds, or
minutes at the most, since I had been
chopping the tree. I could hardly be
lieve that I had been In that sleep a
whole month, and, once convinced of
it. I felt something like Hip Van
Winkle did when ho awoke from his
long sleep. Although that month Is an
utter blank to me, it must have sped
with Ilghtnlng-llkc quickness, for to
mo it seemed Just like a minute's nap.
As I look at it, I must havo lost one
month of tho threescore and ten years
nlloted to me."

FOUGHT WILDCAT IN HIS DEN.
With tho daring of an Ethan Allen,
a Susquehanna county hunter crawled
Into the lair of a wildcat a few days
since, and killed the wildcat, using lrU
blazing eyes as a target. The beast
was tho biggest even bagged in this
part of tho country. Samuel Oater
houf performed the daring feat. Wil
liam Darkly was his partner In the
hunt. The hunters wero after foxes,
when their dogs found tho cat. The
beast showed tight light away, spring
ing from the branch of a tree, killing
ne of the dogs almost Instantly.
With one sweep of its sharp claws It
fatally wounded another dog and then
K-aped Into the bushes, where It stood
it bay. A shot from Ostei bout's title
nlssed the cat, which then plunged
into its den, but a few ynrds away.
f)sterhout unhesitatingly crawled into
tho lair. In the darkness ho could see
nly the quarry's blazing eyes. He
Itod and the cat fell dead. The cat
measured over three feet from muz
zle to tall and weighed almost fifty
pounds. The hunters wero much sur
prised, after carrying the carcass
thirteen miles to Montrose, to learn
that the county commissioners had
rcased, over two weeks ago, to pay
$2 bounty for wildcat scalps. They
therefore had a taxidermist mount the
animals remains.

closed before the Sixth corps was tailed into

patrons ot the crent Taudeille theateis In the
larger of our metropolitan cities, has been se
cured by Manager Buike, of the vaudeil!o, for
their next appearantc here, which occurs on
next Thursday afternoon and night. The great
oddity of Miss Simpson's imitations aiises from
the remarkable manner in whlth they arc pro
duced, she imitating in an almost perfect man
ner, nearly ecry string Instrument now in
ogue as well as the cornet, clarionet, trombomt
bassoon and drum, nil done exclusively Willi a

Saturday at the Academy of Music. "Human
Hearts," the companion play to, but enttrtlt dif

the best American stuge pioductions of the past
ten years.
When any play by a compaietlvely unknown
author, first merits attention uioiikIi to recuie

Tracked" Is a comedy botdeilng on the fane- it
Is up to date, and as riesenteJ by tho A. Q.
Soaminon company is a most eniojsble enter
tainment. The play Is written to amuse, and It
never falls in this with the moot exacting audi-

the perfect inlmliry of the aitor, be appears In
a role that appeals to the heart of every audi

UNCLE SAM
AT BUFFALO
NATIONAL EXHIBITS AT PAN
AMERICAN SHOW.
Features Socured ftom All Pruts of
th Continent What th National
Museum Expect to Contribute to
the Entsrtalnmont end Instruction
of the Vlsltiur; Multitudes.
From the Washington star.
It Is safe to say that when the Pan
American exposition Is opened on May
1 there will bo found enough of Inter
est and beauty to captivate every visi
tor. The Government exhibits are be
lnp prepared lavishly. They will fur
nish an excellent object leeson to those
who cannot visit Washington of the
way Uncle Bam attends to his busi
ness. But ns In tho life of the Individ
ual, so In the life of the government,
theto Is an aesthetic sldn to be grati
fied, and tho exhibit ot the National
museum, perhaps more than any other,
covers this phase of the subject. ltd
utility, however, must be placed fore
most, and the suggestions It will af
ford to the ethnologist, zoologist and
geologist ara well worthy of consider
ation. This exhibit, In common with all the
others which come under the ausplcen
of tho Smithsonian Institute, is being
prepared tinder tho direct supervision
of Dr. Froderlclc W. True, the ap
pointed representative of the Smith
sonian Institution, whose long exper
ience In this special branch of museum
work has well fitted him for the tash.
Bearing in mind the comprehensive
ness of the little prefix "Pan," it has
neon his aim to prepare exhibit which
will display the resources not only of
North America, but also of Central
and South America, the West Indies
and the new possessions also to somu
extent, although this part of the pro
gram has been otherwise specially pto
vlded for. Dutlng the past summer
Drs. Stejneger and Richmond vlsltd
Torto HIco and Messrs. Palmer and
lilley went to Cuba to obtain especial
ly desirable material.
DIFFICULTIES OVERCOME.
The tyro in these matters may think
that as soon as the appropriation Is
made the rest Is as easy as "falling
off a log," but experience proves th
icveise to be true.
But with all tho drawbacks, failures
to collect, unexpectedly Increased ex
penses, etc., the National masuem has
always been ready on the day of open
ing, and It will bo a repetition of the
story next May at Buffalo.
For convenience and with a view to
following the same .cheme of classi
fication ui Is now In vogue In tho
museum, the ptlnclpal exhibits will b
divided Into threo great classes' (I)
anthropology, (2) soology and (3) geol
ogy. A VALUABLE EXHIBIT.
The first is being prepared under the
supervision of William H. Holmes, and
with the co-operation of the bureau
'ot American ethnology. The exhibit
will not be aH wldo In scope as on
some previous occasions, but, being
more restricted and more strictly ger
mane to the purposes of the occasion,
It Is expected that each unit in its
makeup will be more complete. It
will consist essentially of twelve
groups of life-size lav figures, prop
erly clothed and surrounded by ac
cc.s.sorle.i representing arts and modes
ot life. Two of the groups will include
several ilgures each, and the remain
ing ten three figures each, a man, wo
man and child. Each group will rep
resent a distinct American type of cul
ture. The following peoples will b
included: Eskimos of Smith sound,
Athapascans of Mackenzie river, Al
goncmlns of T-ubrudor, Sioux (or
Plains) Indians, Semlnoles o" Florida,
Chllkats of Alaska. Hoopas of Callfor
nla .Pueblo Indians of Arizona, Torelci
Indians of northern Mexico, Piro In
dians of the upper Amazon and Pata
gonlan.s. Tho selection of these widely divers
people" was not an easy task, and ths
work incidental to obtaining a suf
ficient and at tho same time accurate
costume for each individual to pass
the inspection of the Puffalo police
lms been phenomenal. T3ut it has been
done and the groups are clothed.
INT THE ANIMAT. KINGDOM.
In the animal kingdom the exhibit
are to bo represented by the largest,
most characteristic and most striking
forms from the highest to tho lowest
family of vertebrates (I.e., animals
having a buckbone). It has chanced
that several opportunities havo occur
red to obtain some quite rare forms
of largo game, such as tho glacier
bear, the kodlak bear, the northwest
caribou, the white sheep and giant
moose of Alaska. Tho remainder of
this part of the exhibit of animals will
Include some forty or more species,
embracing various kinds of American
seals, deer, bears, wolves, foxes, rats,
rabbits, etc. A specimen of tho Flor
ida seacow, now nearly extinct, will
accompany the collection, although not
of itH own volition, being slutted too
full to walk. Then come the South
American mammals. representing
some thirty kinds and including such
characteristic forms as the Patagon
inn cavy, giant armadillo, guauaco,
clnrugna, spider monkey, etc.
AMEUTCAN BIRDS.
The display ot North American
birds, though not tho largest, will, In
many respects, bo the llticst the mus
eum has ever brought togethet. Tho
specimens huve boon selected by All'.
RIdgway, the well-known ornitholo
gist, and aro being mounted by tho
skillful taxidermists of the museum.
Some eighty species will be shown,
representing the most characteristic
and striking forms'. The South Amnr
lout birds will Inclurlo the gigantic
condor of tho Andes, tho American
ohu Icli, and other Iatg3 birds, and the
gaudy jiar rots und macaws, the beau
tiful littles humming birds, and a host
of other (striking fornm that go to
make up the brilliant bird fauna ot
the tropics.
nEPTII.ES AND AMPHIIitANS.
The cases devoted to reptiles und
amphibians will Illustrate the poison
ous and harmless snakes, the croco
dile, the alligator, several kinds of tur
tle, the huge Galapagos tortoise, til's
hell-bender, tho Cuban tree toad, a
mieer-looklng creature with large,
melancholy eyes. It la hoped, too, that
Dr. Stejneger, thp curator of reptiles,
will be ablo to obtain a glass snake,
which, as everybody is supposed to
know, Is not a snake fit nil, but a liz
ard with a wonderfully brittle tall.
Tho snakes and other reptiles for the
most part to be of plaster, which, ur
ter much experimenting, seems to bo
thp most serviceable material for Urn
purpose. A composition was tried

rare South American forms will also
be exhibited, If possible, e. g.: The
characlus, the large arapalma, electric?
eel, various cat fishes, etc.
In concluding the discussion of the
zoological exhibits It may be added
that It Is hoped to assemble a soectal
group of animals to Illustrate the ex
traordinary power they possess ot
changing their color In order to pro
tect themselves from some pending
dancer.
OKOI.OQY OF THR CONTINENT.
The last croup of exhibits to be
considered is that representing the
geology of the continent. In some re
spects this feature Is the most difficult
on account of the weight of the ma
terial and the cost of transporting It
from distant regions. There will be
shown the fossil animals, Including
restorations oud originals of the large
vertebrates, Including Xeuglodon, a
large whale-like mammal, from the
Tertiary formations of the southern
states, Tloeratops, Tltanothcrlum and
others. Somo TOO specimens of fossil
ammonites und crlnolds are also to be
exhibited. The exhibit will also In
clude a systematic collection of miner
als, comprising about '20 specimens,
and there will also be an Interesting
series of striking forms of concretion
ary structuio In crystalline and frng
mental rocks, Including stalagmites,
stalactites and fossil woods, The ser
ies of native elements will Include car
bon, in the form of diamond or graph
ite, sulphur, tellurium, arsenic, allt
montlte, antimony, bismuth, gold, sil
ver, copper, mercury, amalgam, plati
num iridium, Irldosmlne and iron. The
entire geological exhibit lins been
brought together by Dr. (Uorge P.
Merrill and Charles Kchuehert.
WORK OF THE Ml'SEl'M.
In conclusion, It may be stated for
the Information of those not familiar
with the woik of tho Smithsonian In
stitution, that the exhibits above de
scribed, are not the only ons which
will bo brought together under Its dl
reutlon. The institution Itself will
show the scope of Its own work, large
ly through Its extensive and dignified
series of publication. The Zoological
Park will contribute an eirlblt very
similar to that show that the Omaha ex
position, Including a model or the ixirk,
photographs and transparencies of ani
mal houses, animals and picturesque
portions of the park. The at-trophyclcal
observatory will exhibit photographs

CHANCES FOR YOUNG MEN.
Those for Good Ones Are Better
Than Ever Before.
Ocnnnl r V. Cttcnp In The Worll'n W01K
There are three sorts of men. and
for two of these sorts the tendency to
Industrial consolidation is a distinct
advantage, while for the third there is
no salvation In any economic svstom
that has yet been devised. Thess tin re
classes nre ihe thoroughly competent
who go to the top and command an
nual salurlfts that would once haw
been fortunes: the half-competent wh
find profitable employment In subnrJ
lnate positions and are saved from
going Into business for themselves and
falling, as they would havo failed
under the old system; nnd the Incom
petent who sit on the park benches as
they would have done befote.
This country Is so big, and lln trade
Is becoming so vast that big concerns
are needed to handle It. No collection
of small manufacturers, without i.
common purpose except to fight oru
another, could hope to handle such a
business. It requires consolidation, or
ganization, and heads capable of hand
ling armies of men. This Is the oppor
tunity of the young man with brains.
So far as I know anything about largo
concerns, they nre all looking for good
men to take high executive positions.
The mnn who has the advantage of an
education lir a technical reboot, and
possesses business ability, will b
rushed right along to the top. The
great combinations oau well afford .
pay large salaries to men who can
manage tlielr expensive machinery and
who aie trained to high special labor.
Every Increase in the extent of com
mercial oiguufzailou and In the li-ndo
of the country widens the range of op
portunltles. PUTTING YOURSELF INTO YOUR
