"The Roadway of Life"

AS a poet, Sam. w. Boyd, of the
Wilkes Barre NelCSdedier, is making a
record for himself that is only equalled
by his reputation as an editorial writer
His latest song, The Roadway of Life, {"
is certainly better than many that are
palmed off upon the public as something
extra by more famous poets. 1t is set to
Il pretty and popular air by Ed. &. Soey,
and will be snng in Dan Hart's new play,
Underground, which opens next Au-
gust in New York. I'm Be Back Some
Day to You" and "The Roadway of
Life" are two songs which Mr.. Boyd
should feel proud Of being the author.
Below are the words Of his latest;
Ise good and kind to yourself, my girl,
As you travel the roadway of life;
Its pitfalls and snares you must carefully shun,
Its peris, its crosses and strife
Remember that sunshine will not always beam
O'er your pathway, but do not forget
That after all trials and troubles have ceased
There is happiness still to be met
CHORUS.
Then keep up your heart and your courage,
my dear,
Old Time will right all things don't fret;
The bright sun will shine after clouds pass
away,
And bring you sweet happiness yet
Be good and kind to yourself, my girl
Let your voice and your temper he sweet
Have IA kind word for all whom you meet on
the way,
And smile for all friends that you greet.
Many things will, no doubt, cause you sorrow
and pain,
In your journey through life, but don't fret;
Let our heart be assured that behind the dark
clouds
You'll find sunshine and happiness yet.
Be good and kind to yourself, my girl,
Keep your heart pure aud free from alloy;
Make the most of the innocent pleasures OF life,
And av' id all the cares that annoy.
Bright youth, with its gladness, will flourish
And old Time write his wrinkles, don't fret
But the love and bright pleasure of sunny old
age
Will be yours with sweet happiness yet.

A COAL KING DEAD.
Ario Pardee Passes Away Sud
denly in Florida.
THE HEAD OF ONE OF THE LARGEST
FIRMS IN THE ANTHRACITE RE-
GION is LAID AT REST-BRIEF
SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.

Ario Pardee, Hazleton's great Goa
operator and banker. died on Saturda,
at Rock Lodge, Florida, at the age of 81
He was one of the pioneers of the an
thracite region, and had amassed severa
millions as a coal operator. He was alsC
largely interested in the Lehigh Valley
Railroad.
Mr.. Pardee was born in Chatham, n.
Y, November 10, 1910. He received a
common school education and then
turned his attention to engineering.
His first work was ON the construction
of the Delaware and Raritan Canal, in
New Jersey, during l830-33, after which
he came to Pennsylvania and had charge
uf an engineering corps running the line
for the Beaver Meadow Railroad. In
1886 he began the Hazleton Railroad
and, settling there in 1910, opened coal
mines which proved exceedingly valu-
able. In lS4S he built a gravity railroad
to Penn Haven, distance of IA miles,
as an outlet for the product of these
mines, but in 1854 the Lehigh Valley
Railroad was opened, which, with its
improved facilities, caused the abandon
ment Of the old road in 1860. Sub
sequently he became interested in iron
manufacture, and in 1888 owned blast

AT the beginning of the civil war, in
1861, he fitted out IA military company
for the national service at his own eX-
pense, with which his eldest son, AFRO
Pardee, Jr., served, and attained the
brevet rank of brigadier general on
January u, 1865. Mr.. Pardee became
Interested III Lafayette College in 1864,
and through the influence of William &.
Cattell, then President, of the college,
he gave S2U, 900 for the endowment OF
proiessurship. He soon increased his
gilt, until III 1869 1t amounted to S2UO, 900,
and upon this basis was first established
IA new curriculum of scientific and
technical studies.
A new building being needed, Mr..
Pardee, for this purpose, made further
gilt Of S25O,OUU, to which he afterwards
added S5U,UU for its scientific equip
ment, thus increasing his donations to
SoUU,OOU The building was erected and
called Pardee Hall in his honor.
Mr.. Pardee Was Il director of several
railroads, Including the Lehigh Valley,
and Was president of the State board

MA. ne was Il Tresluentlal eltctUr IN

Bessie Jacobs, OF Butler Valley. Her
children are General Ario Pardee, Jr.,
and Calvin Pardee, of Germantown;
Ance, who married Erastus Earle, of
Philadelphia, and Ella, who died in
Paris.
HIS second wife was Miss Annie Robin

The history of this man, famed as a

Determined to come to this country,
Mr. Gwent quilted Wales and arrived at
Philadelphia on July 3. 1872, repairing

THE NATIONAL GAME.
Preparations Made for a Sue

FREELAND TO HAVE THE BEST CLUB
THE TOWN AND REGION CAN PRO
DUCE-ENCoURAGIN RESPONSE TO
THE FIRST APPEAL.

The Freeand Base Ball Association
has organized for the coming season,
and preparations are under way to place
before the public this summer the
strongest team that can be gathered
together in the region. Work will be
commenced at once upon the park in the
way of repairing the fence, grand stand
etc, and clearing off the ground. A
committee was selected to cal upon the
business men and citizens of town for
contributions, and the appeal has been
met everywhere with favor and en-
couragement. Although the town has
not yet been wholly canvassed the money
received already indicates that the public
is with the association in the effort to
keep alive the national game. The
soliciting committee states they were
cordially welcomed by all upon whom
they have so far called, and the associa-
ton can have every reason to believe
that the public is with them. That this
is sporting town goes without saying,
and the people here are determined to
have a club that will hold Freeland's
time-honored position as the home of
the amateur champions of the anthra-
cite coal fields. The soliciting commit
tee is still at work and will call upon
those who have not yet been seen. All
money donated will be acknowledged

The Latest Swindle.

Here is another very clever swindle
which is being practced by sharpers all
over the country. A man puts in an APP
pearance, seeks the proprietor Of the
store, and informs him that he is seek
ing for rare coins, passing him a list Of
specimens and their alleged value He
also asks the Interested proprietors to
keep an eye out, and should he get hold
ot any keep them for him. Soon after
another party strolls around, buys Il
cigar or some other article, and exhibits
Il number Of coins with the remark that
they are pocket pieces. On consulting
his list the proprietor finds they are
marked $40 each. Here he will see an
opportunity for speculation, and after
dckeriug, the second party sells him the
pieces. OF course, number one never
shows up, and the coins are worth no
more than their face value. This is now
being worked all over the State.

Observe the Fish Laws.

All persons desiring to promote the in.
crease of fish in this locality, will beai
in mind that it is important that the laws

pleted. 1t is also well to bear in mind

To the Supreme Court.

A lengthy opinion was filed on Tues.
day in the case of Duolittle vs.. County
Treasurer McGroarty, it being on the
question of wheth, the liquor dealers
Of Hazleton shall pay $500 for their
liquor licenses or $50, it being in fact a
question AS to Hazleton being a city or
borough. Judges Lynch and Woodward
contend that it is city, deciding that
the letters patent having been signed on
December 8, 1891, the borough at once
hecam Il city, and the liquor dealers
will have to pay $500. Judge Rice
dlsagrees on that point, however, AMI in
still more lengthy opinion he decides
that the liquor men should pay only 81 80.
He argues that the charter of the bor-
oueh, according to reservation of the
State laws, runs out on the first Monday
in April succeeding the third Tuesday in
February, on which city officials are
elected and consequently llazleton is not
a city until the officials elected take
their seats. Judge Rice being the
minority, Attorney q. l.. Halsey acting
Tor Do little will take the case to the
Supreme Court, and a book is already
being prepared.
