DROWNED IN LAKE L0D0RE
Daniel Morodith, of Bromley Avonuo,
Mot Death While in Bathing.
Body Not Yet Rccovorod.
Daniel Meredith, a boy 1C years of
ape and lhe sun. of Mr. and Mis. John
Meiedlth, of North Promley avenue,
was drowned In Lake Potions yesterday
afternoon.
About 1 o'clock he went out In a boat
with another West Scrnnton boy, John
Pdglnton. They rowed about half a
mile up the lake, landed and piepaied
to go In bathing. Priglntnn Is a falily
good Kwlnimer. but Meiedlth was not.
They pushed the boat off a shoit rils
tanee from the shore nnd KdRlnton,
tellltiR Meredith to wait until he ascer
tained the depth of the water, dove In.
As he came up to the surface he heard
a splash, nnd when he Rot tho water
out of his ees, discovered that Meie
dlth was not In the boat.
The splash Indicated to hint that
Meredith dove In, and he waited for
him to eome up out of the ttntor, but
Meiedlth never appealed.
Accordlnp to Pdglnton's story, after
Meredith entered tho water he did not
again come to the suifaco. After wait
Ins: for a time for his companion, I'M-.
Rlnton became alaimed, nnd lepoitcd
the diownlnR. Several younR men at
once volunteered their services as
divers, nnd spent the lemalnder of the
afternoon in a vain endeavor to locate
the body. (iinppllng hooks weio ob
tained and these weie alo used, but
with no better success than had at
tended the effoits of the dlveis.
YounR Meiedlth was a student at the
lllsh school last year, and was one of
The Tilbline's force of carriers, He
was a bilRht, manly fellow and highly
legaideri by all who know him. He Is
the f ninth member of the Meiedlth
family who have died within three
year".
The hoy went over to Lodoie In the
moinitiR with his sister on the l.roceis'
exclusion. The younR woman was
ptotrate,1 with Rilef when told durlnp
the afternoon that her brother was
di owned.

ORIGIN OF NORMAL SCHOOLS.
Contiaiy to wiit'ial belief the normal
school Is not of Ungllsh or Ameiican
oilgln, writes Kiapcls H. Palmer In the
curient number of Success, its begin
ning dates beyond tho Revolution. Its
father was Jean Paptlsto do la Salle,
who died In 1710, and was canonized In
May, 1900. La Salle was a priest and
dignitary In the cathedral at Rome.
Ho had enjoved the best advantages
of an education, but his heait was
moved when he saw the youth of his
city growing up In Ignoianco and vice,
Ho sought to establish schools for
them, but found that there was no cap
able teachers, To supply lnstiuetois
of a better class he gathered a chosen
band of young men into his own house,
wheio he supported and trained them
at his own expense. The vvoik soon
outgrew these accommodations, und,
about 16S5, with the aid of benevolent
friends, he established a normal school
to be devoted to training: teachers for
elemental y schools,
A few yearn beftn'c Demla, a priest
of Lyons, performed a similar service,
but, soon after his death, tho entcr
pilse failed. La Salle gave up his can
oniy, with Its honors and liberal In
come, to dcvto himself to his school,
By his self-sacilflce his school became
very successful, and established a not
able system of education but, nfter
his death, nothing more was heard of
independent normal schools In France
for nearly a century.
HOMBACH IS
AT LIBERTY
TWICE SET FIRE TO ELM PARK
CHURCH.
He and Four Othor Lackawanna Con
vict Wore Among Forty-Ave
Prisoners Released from tho East
ern Fenitontiary in One Batch as a
Result of the Application of the
New Commutation Law Joseph
Wisinski, a Second Degree Mur
derer Is Another.
Five of the forty-five prisoners re
leased from the Pastern penitentiary
Saturday, under the operations of the
new commutation law, passed by the
Inst legislature, were Lackawanna
convicts.
One of them was Peter Hombach,
who was serving ten years for twice
setting fire to Kim Park church, Hom
bach was employed as a watchman
at the church and, It appears, became
seized with the hallucination that the
ground on which the church was built
belonged to him through a bequest of
an uncle who had lived In Clevelnnd,
In 1S92, when the church was Just
completed and arrangements were un
der way for Its formal opening, it vtas
burned to the ground by an enily
morning fire. How tho flames oilgl
natcd was a mystery, but no one had
mote than n passing suspicion that
they were of Incendiary orlRlu.
The chinch was rebuilt nt once nnd
was again almost ready for occupancy
when, on a December night In ISM, It
vtas again almost completely destroyed
by a flie of mysterious origin.
HOMBACH APRPSTPD.
Suspicious circumstances pointed to
Incendiarism, and tho services of Bar
ring iS McSweeney's detective agency
vtfre engaged to get at tho bottom of
tho mystery. It was not long before
Hombach was under an est and so
convincing weie the proofs of his guilt
ns presented by the detectives that his
counsel weie diiven to the extremity of
pleading insanity for their client. They
failed to establish this contention to
the satisfaction of the couit and Jurors
nnd on October SI, 1S93, Judge I". P.
Smith sentenced hltn to ten yeais in
the Pastern penitentiary. After his
incarceration, Hombach evidenced
strong signs of Insanity nnd spnt a
considerable portion of Ills time In the
N'onlstovn Insane asjlum as a re
sult. Another of the jeleased quintette is
Joseph Wisnlski, who wns convicted
in October, ISM, of minder in the sec
ond degice for killing Pellx Dalrdzak
with a knife, In February, 1SD5, on
South Washington avenue. Judge P.
W. Gunstcr sentenced him to seven
years.
John McOotvan, another of the five,
was convicted before Judge H. M. Pd
wards, in December, 1S9S, of In caking
Into and lobbing tho house of Mis.
Prldget Kane, of Ctjrbondalo. Ho had
just returned fiom a four-year teim
for a similar offense, nnd Judge Kd
wanrds sent him back for six jeais.
LOPGHLIN AND MOON.
Tho other two weie James Loughllu,
who was sent down in December, lOS.
by Judge Kdwards, for thiee yearn and
six months, for. lobbing P. K. Plug,
and L'hailes II. Moon, who was sen
tenced in October, 1S09, to two nnd a
half yeais for a similar offense.
Yesterday's Philadelphia Lodger had
this to say of the general Jail delivery
effected by tho new law :
Saluidij's record of dinlurgcs from Ihe .it
em penltentiir.t under Ihe new lointnul.itiun law
rnat(d bj the last legislature, was a record
breaker.
Warden Holnger, a he uutrjrel the line eif

of the prison, going outwaid, remarked that neter

FIGHTING FOR
THEIR CHILD
HUSBAND AND WIFE EACH
WANTS TO POSSESS HIM.
Hearing: Before President Judge Ed
wards in the Habeas Corpus Case
Instituted by Dr. Mathias, of Oly
phant, to Secure from His Wife
Possession of Their Nine-Year-Old
Son Serious Accusation Made
Against the Husband Three Pris
oners Released on Bail.
A hearing In the habeas corpus case
of tho commonwealth ex rel. Dr. J. J.
Mathlas of Olyphant, against his wife.
Mrs. Kato L. Mathlas, was had es
terday morning before I' sldcnt
Judge Kdwards.
The suit Is for tho possession of their
9-year-old son, Stanley. Three weeks
ngo tho husband and wife separated,
the latter going to the home of her
parents on the West Side, taking the
boy with her. The father wont Into
court last week with a petition for a
writ of habeas coipus to secure the
custody of tho boy, alleging that the
wlfo was uivllt to care for him.
When the case came tn be heard
yesterday, the wife defended by ile
nylng the husband's allegations nnd
making counter charges of unfitness
against him.
L'ueh had half a dozen witnesses to
support the respective claims. Part
of tho wife's case was an nllegntlon
that tho father was unfit to be the
custodian of the boy on account of
his alleged brutal manner of chastising
hltn.
A whip, made nfter tho fashion of
a cat-o'-nlne-talls, with seven heavy
leather thongs, was exhibited to the
Judge by Mm. Mathlas ns the instru
ment with which the father was wont
to chiusti)o his boy. She said he
whipped the chUl one time with thlB
Instrument until the little fellow's
back was red, raw and l mining blood.
The husband admitted that ho in
freeiuently used this whip to chastise
the boy, but denied ever having abused
him as his wife and her vvltnosses des
cribed. The boy was called to the stand to
express his preference in the matter
of a custodian. He Immediately de
claiel against the father and for the
mother.
Judge Kdwards directed the testi
mony to be transcribed and will make
a decision later.

DRINKS FOR HOT DAYS.
Some Beverages That Aie Delightful
nnd Easily Concocted.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The harshlps of social duties Is sonic
w hat palliated these nays by tho
thoughtful hostess who lecelvos one In
sympathetic silence, gives one n fan
and ladles out a glass of something
cold and sparkling fiom a big punch
bowl placed alluringly near at hand,
or of white ware painted gaily with
grapes or flotveis. A big lump of Ice
floats in the beveiagc. Perhaps cher
iles ami strawbetiies float urjmnd the
lee nnd maybe sprigs of mint coter
the top. The ladle Is deep nnd btoad
as to the bowl and long and curved
as to tho handle. The glase.es or cups
fiom which ono chinks nt? thin ns
soap bubbles und picferably clear.
Pale giecn, amber and opalescent glass
are pretty, but clear crystal looks cool
er and nllows one to admlic tho color
of the bevciago between sips.
If one Is a believer In unu-lntoxl-eating
beverages only, lemonade, Iced
tea, fruit syrups with Ice water, apple
wine, curt ant water nnd lemon barley
water aie cooling and grateful diinks.
Parley water tla'oied with lemon has
been elevated to a position of honor Jn
Hubs of late. It Is a favoilte luncheon
drink, and when properly made Is not
only refreshing, but also a wonderful
quencher of thne perpetual thirst from
which many in hot weather suffer.
When making cups of various kinds,
success depends on the Judicious blend
ing of the lngicdlcnts and care should
be taken not to add too much sugar.
Currant water Is delicious. Take a
pint of the fiesh-plcked fruit, nnd when
they have been washed, let them sim
mer In a quart of water, to which n
heaping teaspoonful of powdered sugar
litis heen added. When cold, stialn
and Ice. This currant nectar may be
handed in glasses in which a slice of
lemon and a few of the fresh currants
ate swimming. A simpler method Is to
dissolve a teaspoonfut of currant Jelly
In a glass of cold water sweetened to
taste, Cunant water Is excellent in
Its medical effects, ns It acts on the
liver.

Possibly you have need of a
bank. If so, it becomes our
pleasurable duty to invite you

CURIOUS BURIAIi CUSTOMS.
Some of tho Fnshons That Prevail in
Various Places,
From the New York Heralil.
On the Ivory coast, In West Africa,
between the rivers Pandama and Xal,
theie lives a curious iiogr ti ihe, known
as the Paule, and which Is n mixture of
scvcial i aces. So curious Is It that M.
Maui Ice Pelafosse, a colonial ofllclal,
has thought It well worthy of study,
nnd he now narrates Interesting facts
about It.
Tho coillns used by the negroes, ho
mij s, nie lectangular, nnd each Is
fashioned carefully cit of a largo block
of ncajou wood. The sides, moreover,
nio ornamented with colored has reliefs
and tho cover Is usually wrought In
most artistic style. As nn example of
such a cover, Mr. Delafosse piosents
one, which was mndo In 1S93 for tho
mummy of a chieftain named Nyango
Kuassl, On It the chieftain Is lepre
sentcil lying on a lcopaid skin, which
has been artistically engrnved, the
spots theieln being shown by equates,
cut out of the wood.
Abovo the dead man Is an engraving
of nn umbrella, the symbol of his high
position on earth, and beneath it a box
of cartridges has been drawn. On tho
left Is repiesentcxl the gold-hlltcd sabre
which he woio on parade, and above It
Is an engraving of his favorite drink
ing cup. On tho right In like manner
may be seen drawings of his dagger
and of his gun. Pelow the corpse Is a
death's head and tho figure of a wo
man, who is holding in her hand a
saucer, filled with bioad. The death's
bead represents that one among the
dead man's slaves, vtho, according to
ancient custom, should have been sac
llflced nt the time of his death, but
whose life was spared at tho Interces
sion of M. Delafosse.
Oidlnary Paule negroes are burled as
soon as they rile, but those of high
rank are raiely burled for seven
months, nnd some even are not burled
ror seven yeais. In tho latter cases
the body Is embalmed, nnd then te
malns In a loom where death occurred
until it Is placed In the coffin. Salt,
alcohol nnd palm wine nro the main
Ingreellents used In embalming, and
cotton, with which gold dust Is some
times mixed, serves tn conceal the
openings which the operator has made
In the body.
Frequently thin plates of gold are
also placed as a shield over the coun
tenance, and all tho ornaments that
were woin In life nie spread over the
body. Bo the dead man lies on the
mat where he died, and such Is the In
fluence of the air and the heat that
