That Proposed Rubber Mill.
Coneernlni,' the rubber plant whh li
lluio Is a possibility will locale In
Seranton, a reader of The Tribune
writes as follows:
"I understand that there Is a project
on foot to lirinp; a rubber mill, for ie-
hiimlnor and manufaeturlnt; all kinds
of mechanical rubber Roods, to Seran
ton, it should bo consummated If pus
hihle, for It Is one of the best paytiiK
and laiKe.st of the industrials at woik
today, it is to lie hoped thai our in
vestors will not he as slow In taking
ndvantaRo of this oppoitunlly, for the
welfare of our city, as they were with
the tin plate, and have It ro elsewhere.
Wo quote here a leport Riven In the

It. Flint, of tho rubber trust, .Mr, Film

that the Industrial consolidations am

'The records will show that where coni

The largest of these are the .Schenec

MEDAL APPROVED
Secretary Long Accepts Design
with Sampson's Head on the
Obverse,
Hy Kxclmlic Wire trim Tlio .Uxiclaloit 1'ipiw,
Washington, Juno 24, Acting on the
unanimous recommendation of the
naval board nf awards, Secretary Long
today approved tho designs for the two
medals provided for by congress to
coinnieniornto the achievements, of the
United States navy In the campaign In
the West Indies during the Spanish
American war. Of these two medals
the llrsl i known as the battle medal
and the second ns the meritorious ser
vice medal. In its report to Secretary
Long the hoard of awards points out
that this battle medal Is not conferred
for services rendered In any one en
gagement, but Is Intended for nit of the
men who participated In the West In
dian campaign.
The board says that it has placed
Saniwm'H head upon the mednl be
cause ho was commander In chief of
the West Indian squadron, as Dewey's
was placed on the Manila medal. The
medal will not be known as the Santi
ago, as It will bear upon the reverse
the name, rank and ship of the initial
battle In which the recipient fought.
Tho additional battles will be repre
sented by separate bars above the sus
pending ribbon, one bar for each battle,
in tho case of an olllcer like Wain
wrlght the bars will be almost as con
spicuous as the medal.
Tho Sampson portrait Is n prolllo
taken from a likeness made just before
the outbreak of the Spanish war. On
the face of this medal the Inscription
reads: "United States Xaval Cam
paign In the West Indies, 1S9R. AVII
llnni Thomas Sampson, Commander in
Chief." The suspending bar above
bears the American eagle over a de
sign In oak loaves.
The reverse or the medal marks the
government's recognition or the ser
vices of "the man behind the gun." It
shows the gun-deck or an American
man-or-war In rull action, with a war
ship on the horizon of tho background.
Surrounding the picture on the rim of
the medal Is a handsome laurel wreath.

The latter gives the men until toiuor

Ethol
I
Wayne's
Escapade
EVKftVIlODV declined that Hugh
Colewood ought to ho the hap
piest innn In Clrecuvltlc. He was
young, handsome and well edu
cated: then, just as ho was pre
paring to tight Ids way to fatno with
poverty artayed against hlin, ho had
suddenly been made the sole
hrlr to the fine old estates
of his eccentric aunt. Miss Uet
.y Colewood, recently deceased,
What more was necessary to the
happiness of a gay young fellow like
Hugh Olewnod.
Hhwever, there were conditions, or
one nt lenst, In his aunt's will which
caused him no little uneasiness. Ho
must love and marry the girl of her
choice, one whom he had never scon.
Hugh Colewood caught up his aunt's
last letter to hint and rend it again
and again, hoping to find some little
loophole of escape from the galling
condition, hut It was there In morel
less black and white. This Is the palt
that worried him:
"If you cannot comply wiitli ttij;
wishes for you to moot ICtliel Wayne
and love and marry her, you forfeit
your heirship to my estate. Kthel's
mother was my dearest friend, and If
you marry her (laughter It will be ful
lllllng my fondest desires. You cannot
help loving her. I could not rest peace
fully In my tomb and know that Rthel
was not mistress of my estates, and
you, dear boy, the master. My lawyer,
Mr. Cranston, will arrange for you to
meet Ethel, as ho is one of her gunrd
lans. " ou know how thoroughly T
despise old bachelors: therefore I give
you winning that 1 will not allow yon
to Inhabit my houses and lands as one
of that disagreeable crusty order."
Hugh loved the Colewood estates,
and could not bear to think or giving
them up. Now, ir the will had but lert
the selection of -i wife entirely to
himself. Hugh believed that he would
have enjoyed the romance of hunting
for a bilde. He picked up his hat and
rushed from his room, going up to
the hotel where Mr. Cranston wan
stopping while he arranged some busi
ness matters with Hugh.
"Halo, Colewood' Take a seat,"
said the lawyer.
'You are aware of that one peculiar
feature In my aunt's will, Mr. Crans
ton?" "To what peculiar feature do you re
fer. Mr. Colewood?"
"The one that absurdly commands
me to many a girl whom T have never
seen,"
"Ob, that!" returned Mr. Cranston.
"You are a lucky fellow. Colewood.
That's the best part of the fortune."
"It's the most exasperating part,"
Hugh cried, desperately. "How can a
fellow leve and wed to order?"
"Vell It's a deal of time and bother
saved to the wooer," remarked the
lawyer, puffing. "I've no doubt Kthol
Wayne will suit you better than any
selection you are capable of making."
"I'm sure she won't suit me, sir.' The
estates ef.n go to charity for all I care.
1 don't love any woman, and 1 love my
freedom too well to marry yet awhile.
1 don't want to bo thrust upon any
woman for the sake of a fortune, and T
don't suppose Miss Wayne cares two
straws riuiut the absurd conditions In
my aunt's will."
"It is very likelv. although Kthel had
the greatest respect for the late Miss
Colewood, and was very careful- l
humor all her vagaries," returned
Cranston. "However, I hardly feel
abli ti- state whether the girl would
accept lllrs Colewood' last great vag
ary In the shape of her Impulsive
nephew or not."
"I shall not give her the oppor
tunity," said Hugh, nettled at the law
yer's w ords.
"Hold on, Colewood. Let's di op non
sense and come to business You like
your aunt's estates, but you cannot re
tain then-' without complying with her
visiles. You have never met the girl
whom your aunt has chosen. Perhaps
it will be proved that you are neither
of you opposed lo fulfilling the con
dition. At least you vuist meet. T
will arrange that. Kthol will pass the
summer with my sister in the country,
and I'll manage it for you to spend a
lew weeks with them. You can very
soon tell whether the condition i.
wholly obnoxious or not. What do
you fay?"
"T will do as you advise, thank you,
sir," replied Hugh, who had now cool
ed off, and was trying to take a busi
ness view of the strange situation.
Four weeks later Hugh Cole
wood was speeding away from
(Ireenvllle on the morning ex
press, bound rnr n little town
among the blue hills of Virginia
When he stepped from the Iralu ho
was disappointed to find no one wait
ing to convey him to the cnutry home
or Mr, Cranston's sister, a distance of
eight nills. lie was In the act of ask
ing the way to the h.-sl hotel when a
buggy came rapidly up to the .station
and halted,
The station master hurried forward
to greet the driver, who was a slender
young glii, with blight, dnrh eyes and
I. air as gulden as the June sunbe'inis
touching those hills.
"Is Mr. Colewood of ('irecmvlllo wait
ing here to ild.' out to Mrs. Thurs
ton's?" Inquired the fair driver in a.
sweet voice, which won Hugh's Interest
nt once,
"I am hero and waiting, thank you,"
leturned Hugh for hlim'clf, smiling
pleasantly, as he came forwaid on the
station platform,
"I came to drive you to Mrs. Thurs
ton's" she nnswered, simply.
"Shall I take the reins?" he asked ns
they stalled awav,
"Xo, thank you: I llko to drive," she
answered,
"It was ton bad for you to take so
long a tit ivo for a stranger," he ie
nuuked. as he stole a side glance of
admiration at the girlish form In dain
ty blue.
""Hi, I don't mind the distance at nil:
besides I rather had to come," sue r
piled. "I did wlsli n go with the
young folks over on Laurel Hill, hut
I'pcie Jerry was sick, and of course
ho couldn't come for you. Then Mr.
Thurston and llss Wayne never drivo
so they made u virtue of necessity and
bent the last resort of the place.'1,
"It Is (on bad my coining prevented
you Joining the pleknlekers," lie said,
"That's untlilug, I am enjoying my
self now too well o think of T.auiet
Hill.
"Thank you; nnd at the same time
let mo assure you that I too am en
joying myself excellently well," and
Hugh bowed lo the young girl, whose
eyes dropped beneath the. warm light
of udmlrutlou In his blue ones,
"I hope you will enjoy your visit,
Mr. Colewood," she said, to change tho
subject. "I know 'Mrs. Thurston and
Kthel will do all they can to mako
your stay pleasant."
"Thank you; I've no doubt I shall
Unit It pleasant," returned Hugh. "You
too are one of Airs. Thurston's summer
household, 1 suppose'.'"
"Yes," with a smile. "You see, I am
a distant relative of Mrs. Thurston'si
then Miss Wayne Is my cousin, and
exercises a kind of cousinly gtiardlati
shlp over me, which no doubt Is very
necessary."
"Ho you are Miss Wayne's cousin?
1 do not remember heating Mr. Cran
ston mention you. I did not expect
to have tho pleasure of meeting any
ladles hut Mrs. Thurstun nnd Miss
Wayne."
"How unkind of Mr. Cranston not to
prepare yoil for this meeting. 1 had,
up to date, regarded Mr. Cranston ag
one of my very best friends, but to Ig
nore mo so utterly looks like down
right, Intentional neglect."
"You have not given mo the pleas
rue of knowing your na'me," said
Hugh, both amused and ptensed with
his pretty driver.
"Oh. I'm a Wayne, loo," she an
swered, laughingly. "Fthet t'slcllo
Wayne, variously nicknamed, as you
will observe later on."
Two Kthol Waynes! Here was a
renl surprise for Colewood. Why had
Cranston not mentioned that strange
fact to hlin? It the Kthol Wayne re
ferred to in the will was only halt as
animated and generally captivating as
the one by his side, Hugh thought It
might he an easy matter after all
to obey Unit condition which had so
vexed hlin.
Colewood received a cordial wel
come at Mrs. Thurston's pleasant
home. Ho found .Miss Wayne to bo a
tall, dignified girl of about twenty
three, with coal black hair and deep
gruy eyes. She was as unlike her lit
tle, merry-hearted cousin as It was
possible to be. Yes. Hugh decided,
she was just such a woman as his ec
centric nunt would be likely to select
as tho wife of her heir.
In the weeks which followed
Hugh's arrival he saw a great deal of
of Miss Wayne, although much of her
time was divided between her taste
for literature and In remonstrating
against the innocent pranks of her
counsln.
It did not require a long time for
the young man to realize that he
could never love Miss Wayne as tho
man should love the girl whom ho In
tends to marry. He made another Im
portant discovery that his life would
bo a failure without the little cousin
to furnish dally sunshine and wifely
cheer for bis own home. He resolved
to let Miss Wayne have one-lialf of
his aunt's estates and the orphan
asylum tho other.
Having so decided Hugh set out for
a stroll along tho liver, feeling more
manly for his resolve. He came sud
denly upon a little figure in white,
reading, in a little vlney nook by the
river side.
"Walt. Kstello," ho called, for she
had started to run away. "1 shall
leave to-morrow, and I have some
thing to say lo you which you must
hear."
"I'd be 'sorry to have you leave us
with any burden on your mind," she
said.
"It is needless for me to tell you
why it was arranged for me to meet
Miss Wayne here," he said, unheeding
her light words. "You know, I sup
pose."
"Some slight Idea, 1 believe," she
returned, fingering her book.
"Well, 1 may as well toll you that
the condition in my late aunt's will
can never be fulfilled."
"And why not?"
"Because 1 love another passionate
ly. Oh, Kstollc! Can.you not see how
tenderly, how ardently l love you?
Without you 1 shall make a failure of
life. Won't you show mercy, Ks
telle?" "Ob, Hugh: Would you marry a
poor girl when you have a chance to
win a dignified bride and retain those
princely estates'."' she asked.
"Yes, darling. 1 prefer you with love
in a cottage to the wealthiest woman
with all the estates In the world."
"Hash statement, young man."
"It Is true. Do not torture me long
er, Kstello. Can you not love ino u
little?"
"Xo, nol a little, but very much."
He would have caught her to his
breast, but she eluded his arms, cry
ing: "Oh, t heie's t'uclo Cranston!" and
she rushed forward to greet the little
lawyer, who had approached them un
seen. "It is useless for me to ignore fact."
said Mr. Cranston pleasantly. "I did
not mean to overhear your conversa
tion, but 'I arrived unexpectedly, ami
thought I'd hunt up my sprite here
and surprise her. see you under
stand each other pretty clearly."
"Yes, sir," said Hugh bravely. "1
have decided to enjoy loye In a cot
tage with this dear girl rather than
keep the estates with Miss Wayne."
"I.ove in a cottage! Oh, that's too
good!"
And Mr. Cranston broke Into a
hearty laugh, in which the girl finally
Joined li I in.
"Will you have the goodness to ex
plain what amuses you so much in my
statement?" asked Hugh, not a little
nettled,
"Pardon me, Colewood, but really
you are the victim of you own blun
der." "Hlunder! I don't understand yon,
sir," returned Hugh.
"Of course not," and the lawyer
laughed again. "Tills sprite, whom
you took to be iho unimportant little
cousin, Is in reality the Kthel Wayne
referred to in your aunt's will, 1 did
not tell. von that there were twoKthels,
so while she was driving you over
here you jumped to the conclusion that
Miss Wayne at the house was the
Kthol, You see I have been told all
about your amusing mistake, Kthel
would not explain her real Identity
with tho girl whom your aunt had se
lected for you, and as tho other ladles
believed you knew, you have remained
the victim of your own mistake."
Six mouths Inter tho condition of
Miss Colewood's will was cheerfully
obeyed. Woman's Life,
