Once Millionaire.

arau has been reduced TO dependence upon
such hard labor by too much con 6dence in
his sons, one of whom is Charles w. Scran-
ton Of the ruined banking firm Of Bunnell &
Scranton.
Twenty years ago Serene II. Scranton
was the most influential man in New Haven
County, and was President of the Shore
Line Railway, which he built Establish
ing bis son, Edward S. Scranton, in the Dri-
vate bank of +. S. Scranton d Co.. lie went
TO Louisiana, where he had contracts to
build a new railway. This bank closed its
doors in 1873, and the sons failure swept
away the splendid fortune of the father.
Stripped of his luxurious home and the
positions of influence which his financial
standing had given him, the senior Scranton
returned to Connecticut and began life over
again On the little farm where he worked as
a boy sixty years before. He did the hard
est kind of farm labor, and for decade
had SoIaeed himself with the thought that,
although one son had failed, the other son
would retrieve the fortunes Of the house
and lift up again the name Of Scranton In
the financial world. Then came the crash
which wrecked the bank of Scranton IL

Hush, Child, Papa Has Been Playing
That Too Much Already"
An industrious young shoemaker fell in
the habit of spending much time in a saloon
near BY. One by one his customers began
to desert him. When his wife demonstrated
with him for so neglecting his work for the
saloon he would carelessly reply: Oh. I've
just been down a little while playing pool"
His little two-year-old caught the refrain,
and would often ask
Is you goin' down to play fool, papa|'
Smith tried in vain to correct this word.
The child persisted in his own pronuncia-
ton. and day by day he accosted his father
with:
Has you been playin' fool, papa ?"
This made a deep impression on the shoe
maker, us he realized that the question was
being answered in the falling off of lis GUS
toners and the growing wants of the house,

the poOl-table. but weakly allowed the
passion Of play to hold him long time.
Finally he found himself out of work, out of
money, out Of -four. Sitting on his bench
one afternoon, idle and Respondent, he as
heard to eXclaim: " No work again, to-day I;
what Pm to do don't know"
Why, papa" prattled the baby, cant
you run down and play fool some more?"
" Oh, hush, you poor child!' grOaned his
father, shame stricken. That's just the
trouble. Papa has played fool too much al
ready" But he never played it again, and
to-day his home is comfortable and happy

Carry back news OF my love unto me,
For on this side of Deaths fathomleSs river
Are we not parted. and parted forever?
Tell me- dear bird, on thy wished-tor return
That she has ceased now to anguish and mourn.
Tell me that absence has made her forget;
Tell me that wisdom has baa!shed regret.
For, though my path may be gloomy night,
Iwould prefer that her path should be bright;
One pang lost love. In that bosom OF thine

That the spirit Of JOY dwels again in her bowers

Governor Hill Outlines a Platform for tbs
Democrats.

Governor Hin Outlines a Platform for the
Democrats. r..
Governor Hill addressed the democracy Of
Elmira last evening at large meeting held
under the auspices of the David B. Hill Club.
He was received with unbounded enthusiasm,
and spoke about an hour and half on '"The
Issues for 1892" He made an elaborate and
carefully prepared argument on the currency
and tariff questions, suggesting the policy
should pursue on those matters. He considers
free bi-metaIlic coinage, under proper condi-
tions, as inevitable as we'll as desirable in the
near future, but urged that at this time the
democrats should only seek the repeal Of the
Sherman silver act. and await further legisla-
tion until the democracy should have swept
the country in 1882.
He explained and commended the democratic
state platform of New York, under which the
late great victory was achieved, and suggested
its adoption by the democrats of the whole
country. He insisted that it would be good
policy not to attempt to pass q new general
tariff bill or to legislate on small amendments,
but to confiue the partys efforts to repeal Of
the Mckinley act, and rely upon that record.
He argued that the party was united against
the legislation Of the republican "billion-dollar
Congress" and in favor of the repeal OF the
Sherman silver act as an obstacle to free BIZ
metallic coinage, and also for the repeal of the
