Carbondalo's Distinguished Sons.
The promoters of tho seml-centen-nlnl

gence and Industry in forwarding the
plans of Corbondule's lubllce.
There :s m enthusiastic spirit
among the committee workers which
Is Mite to bring about the results that
were hoped to he achieved when tho

esting! feature- of the celebration Is
the promised presence on the occa
sion of the jubilee of men prominent
In the clvli? life of the country whose
birthplace Is .nrbondnli . Of these,
there Is n surprising number, when
tho size of this community Is con
sidered. The secretary of the executive com

in the jubilee arrangements, are con
veyed In the following, which are ex
tracts from letters forwarded to the

. reminiscences of my brief experience

'unimlssloncr nf Immigiation Pnvv
derly says: "I have been absent from
"Washington and in other ways have
been so situated as not to lie able to
ghe attention to tho matter you sub
mit to m-' until last evening, when I
took the matter up, and find that in
order to do justice to the subject a
single letter will not be sulliclent and
1 therefore crave your Indulgence in
presenting several letters. If this will
not be agreeable to you. I"t me know
fit once and 1 will endeavor to "boll
it down.' Your letter acted like a
bracing wind on a cloud of mist:
tilings that were obscured from men
tal vision wore brought to light by
It and it caused me to live over again
s-onic of the happiest days of my life."
At the recent meeting of the semi
centennial association, held in the
council chamber on Friday night,
tlicK' was an Interesting discussion,

It's the Evidence of Scranton Peo
ple Published in Scranton Papers
That Hns Made Such a Reputation
for Dr. A. W. Chase's "Nerve Pills.
Standing clear and distinct, marking
the difference, the superior merit, tho
adaptability to present-day ailments is
the volume of local testimony for Dr.
A. W. Chase's Nerve pills. It's so dif
ferent to the ordinary remedies infer
ring to cures made at distant points
which it is hard to verify. There is n
reason for Dr. A. W. Chase's Xotve
Pills commanding home evidence
wherever they are known. It Is their
wonderful Inilueneo in bringing up tho
standard of nerve force,

THE EXCITEMENT OF SHOPPING
Causes a PockvilloWoman to Entire
ly Forget. Her Son, Who Was
Carried to Cnrbondale.
The writers on the comic weeklies
have had abundant fun at the expense
of the women who do nil sorts of
ridiculous things In the excitement of
shopping, but 11 happening of this
character that took place on a Dela
ware and Hudson train Snturdn.v even
ing gave the force of truth to these
thrusts at bargain-hunting shoppers.
On the train that left Scranton
shortly before S o'clock on Friday
evening, In charge of Conductor Har
vey, there was a woman among die
passengers who had the appearance of
11. delivery clerk for 11 big department
store. She was weighted down under
the packages site carried, lite conquests
of the day among the bargain counters
of the Scranton stores; and when she
sat down In the car, there were bundles
to right, bundles to loft of her and
bundles all around her. There was
also a six-year-old boy, her own, who
went with his mother to see the won
ders of the big Uiilfalo Mill show, but
the youngster was fairly lost among
the bargains that his mother prided
herself on being able to take home to
display before th family as evidence
of her ability as a shopper.
Peckville was the destination of the
woman, her bundles and the little fel
low who was buried among them, con
tentedly munching on candy, and ap
parently satisfied with the conditions
Unit made him appear even smaller
than he really was. The hrakoman's
cry of Peckville told the woman of
many packages that her journey was
at an end, and site hastened to load
herself with her prized bundles. She
hustled off the train, engrossed with
the thought that she had 11 heap of
things to look after, but, alas! the poor
woman had too many charges 011 her
hand, and the little boy was left be
hind in tbe shuflle to ponder over the
thrilling "stunts" of "Itnln-ln-the-Face,"
the "Man -with - the - Keady
tiun." "Iltittlesnukc Pete," "U'lld-Kyed
Bill." and other celebrities of Buffalo
Bill's contingent of red-skinned and
cow-puncher men. The youngster was
seemingly "clean forgotten" by his
greatly-occupied mother, but the mem
ory of tho day's doings was too pleas
ant a dream lo be disturbed by the
separation and the little fellow had no
complaint to make when lie discovered
that his mother failed to include him
in her inventory of her belongings.
Tho little follow was In good bauds,
for he was taken care of by Conductor
Harvey, who, when Carboudale wns
reached, provided the boy with a sup
per that helped him to forget ills
troubles.
When the youngster satlslled his ap
petite. Conductor Ilarvoy returned
with him to Hie Seventh avenue sta
tion and wired the Peckville station
agent that the live "bundle" that the
Peckville woman overlooked was ac
counted for and that it would bo re
turned on the next train.
The boy was placed on the 10.01 train,
with Instruction'! to put him off at
Peckville, where lie was reclaimed with
Joy by his absent-minded parent.

HONOR THE FLAG.

Juno 14 will be the one hundred
and twenty-four anniversary of tho
birthday of tho United Stales ling.
When it is considered what it bus
cosl to give birth to tills flag, what
it lias cost to maintain ii, and what
it moans to this nation and to tlio
world, tlu re is no honor too great
that should not be conferred upon It.
Our flag was born In tlio throes of
Liberty, wounded in the battles of
Freedom, and sanctified In tho cause
of immunity, it should be honored
for all the security It guarantees; all
tho mercy It proclaims; all tlio power
It Implies,
U is tho flag that lias beep ever
raised In honor and never lowered in
disgrace. It Is tho Hag that repre
sents liberty of thought and religious
light, and floats today, beautifully
hovering In the breeze around her
Cuban piotego. n protectorate against
"man's Inhumanity lo man." The
Hag tli.it gracefully waves in tlm
Orient, a respected monitor In tin
Onlestlul empire, gulldlug tlie world hi
the solution of a Divine problem, re
monstrating against sivarloo and ad
monishing against treachery, it h
the Hag that must not be disgraced as
an advertisement of merchandise, por
displayed for idle purposes.
It is siKied' It Is sublime! Next
tn Holy Writ it should bo our guide,
standing for the equnlity of man, and
of woman 10 man. It is now tlio
peacemaker botweni hitheito domes
tic foes. II Ih n guard against for
eign Interference. It forgives tlio past
and paints to tho future, grandly;
wltii more grandeur than our pre
vision can encompass, It is tlie ilag
of the new possesrluns which Provi
dence hns bestowed. So let the
Auierlcau people, with one hand on
llie casket of tho Golden Itule and
with the other saluting' the emblem
of our liberty and strength, do honor
to our banner as it stands for loyalty
between ourselves and the elevation of
all mankind.

The Tribune's
""UOSli stories which were awnnlott prizes in The
C Tribune's recent "Story Contest" have all been
published and we are pleased to announce that
nearly all the contestants have consented to have their
stories printed. A very few have failed to reply to our
letter of inquiry, and from this we conclude that "silence
gives consent."
Tin's mean that The Tribune will be able to publish
a very interesting series of stories, nearly all of which arc
basetl on local fact or tradition, the scenes being laid in
the Lackawanna valley. The slories. with but very few
exceptions, are woven about mine incidents, making them
of still greater interest.
The Tribune will publish those stories in the order
named below, and those wishing extra copies of any par
ticular issue should place their orders in advance to avoid
disappointment, as there is always an extra demand for
the paper on these days.

near Alilford, this county, on the l.'ith
day of .Inly, 1.SS0. From the time lie
was able to talk until the present his
wliolo talk has been on tlie subject of
mathematics. When but a small lad
ho would freiiuently count the number
of potatoes his mother pooled, or the
number of the ears of corn husked by
his father. One day lie counted the
number of sticks of wood sawed by
sevral men, the total being O.riSa.
When Grllliltli was ten years old his
parents moved to Alilford, and for tho
next seven years he annulled the piibllo

to teach him anything in tlie line of
mathematics, and found It very dlf
