true and beautiful. 1t does seem strange and mys-
tero us that those who most loved and appTeci-
ated are generally stricken down first, and IN the
present instance Il is strikingly exemplihed. The
subject of this humble tribute died in the beautiful
spriugtime of his youth q time when the flowers
bloom early and whose fragrance is the sweetest.
He took the cup of life TO sip,
But bitter was its drain;
He meekly put it aside
And went to sleep again.

at Smith Park, with the Woodsboro club.
Sellman will pitch for the home team.
The Westminster Juniors played their
second game of the season, on Tuesday last,
and beat the Taneytowns by the SCORE of31-
10.
The Westminsters were little handicapp-
ed at first by having four substitutes playing,
but they distinguished themselves by their
batting in the latter part of the game. The
first four innings were played evenly. In the
fifth the Westminsters batted Clark all over
the field, for the total of nine runs. Bankard
was substituted in the sixth and he in turn
was knocked out of the box. Eleven runs
we're made off his delivery. As it was late the
Westminsters got out purposly in the seventh
and eight. Mather, the regular pitcher Of
the Juniors, was not on hand, and Miller,
who pitched in his stead, was invincible
throughout the game.
In batting Miller led with four hits, one a
two base hit. Wells made four singles, Mel
son two singles and double and Smith three
singles.
Clingen, the Taneytown catcher, caught a

Mr.. Jacob Wolfe, aged CD, died at his home
al this place on Friday evening August IL,
after lingering illness OF many months, OF
catarrh of the stomach. Mr. Wolfe was a
member Of the NJ E. Church, of this place,
and was a licensed exhorter. For more than
80 years he was an active Sunday school
worker, not only in his own school, but In a
number of the surrounding schools; he was
also very active in revival work and as long
as his health would permit he would walk
miles to assist in or conduct revival meetings.
In this work he seemed to be particularly
successful and many are they who point to
him as their spiritual adviser. He was a
soldier of the late civil war, a member of the
Grand Army, and by them was borne to his
last resting place. His death was triumphant
and as the hour of departure came he said
death had no terrors for him. His funeral
took place on Sunday afternoon at the church
of which he was member, and his remains
we're deposited in the cemetery connected
with it, Rev. J. H. Deible, his pastor, preach
ed the funeral sermon from the text, select
ed by the deceased before his death, Weep
not for me, part of Luke 23-28 The dis
course was able and appropriate. The ser
vices at the grave we're conducted by the
members of the Grand Army. As token OF
their respect for the deceased, quite.a con-

Messrs. B. f. Shriver & Co. commenced
packing corn at their cannery at this place
this week.
We had an abundance of rain on Sunday

it better.

by Rev. J. b. Cassidy, of Westminster,
assisted by Revs. James Nolan and Joseph
Brady, of Baltimore, and Rev. Theodore
Mead, of Taneytown. After the stone was
laid sermon was preached by Rev. James
Nolan. The ground for the church was given
by the Messrs. Shriver. The church will be

1t Ever Since.

When a resident of the city of Scran-
ton wishes to look about him and in
quire In an interesting way concerning
the objects of history connected with
the development and extraordinary
growth of this, the fourth largest city
in Pennsylvania and the metropolis of
the anthracite coal fields, there is one
spot first and foremost to attract OBJ
servation and which deserves foremost
consideration. That is the old rolling
mill of the present Lackawanna Iron
and Steel company.
This plant is situated along the Roar
ing Brook creek and is located little
distance above that point of the stream
where the new Spruce street bridge will
span it when built. The mill at present
is a little over a half century old and
1t may be truthfully said that it was
the beginning of the great Electric
City.
Far back in the early forties when the
Indians hunted in these parts and fish
abounded in the Lackawanna river
which was then quite a pretentious
stream of spring water, hardy band
OF enterprising capitalists settled here
and began the erection of the old roll
Ing mill, the first industrial plant built
in northeastern Pennsylvania. These
people were the Scranton brothers and

this brief sketch are not meant to fur

than the girl dreams that she is expos

We disapprove, most of US, who have
lived much in the world of such ac-
tions; but nevertheless, there is a kind
of innocence about it that Is touching.
These darling girls become the best of
wives, the most devoted of mothers, and
outside of their homes carry their en-
ergy and gay-hearted courage into all
manner of charity and good works.
Perhaps the bold young man who mar
ries one should be punished for not
having married a more demure and
modest creature; as a matter of fact he
isn't. He goes about, blissfully ignor-
ant that his wife has brushed off the
eVanescent first bloom of modesty. that

remember the rest. He thinks that she
Is as sweet and innocent as a girl can
be. And so, very often she Is. although
she has not had a chaperon in her life
and has read any novel that she cared
to read, and calls her masculine ac
quaintances by their Christian names.
But in her heart she may not have
half the cynical wisdom of an eastern
society girl who has been most care

She has simple belief in the decency

young Eddy, who has such beautiful
eyes and sings so delightfully."-, some
times drinks more than is good for him;
but she knows no more. Why her father
should look so black when Ralph calls
she cannot imagine. To her Ralph
seems wit and lovely fellow. Nobody
else sends her such flowers, or can pay
little attentions with such bewitching
half tender, all worship air. And
Ralph Is good business man, too, so
what has got into papa to make him
so horrid? One day, perhaps for the
child Is not the least bit in love with
Ralph, it is only her fancy and her
vanity that are engaged she will
frankly ask her father, who Is the big
gest and in many ways the incest of
her chums, why he doesn't like Ralph.
And if her father is wise, he will tell
her as frankly as she has asked. But
he will blush, the honest, faithful
husband that he is, while he stammers
through his story.

Game Here in 1851.
When Mr.. Jones, who is now nearly
20 years of age, came to this country
from Wales In 1851 and moved his fam
lily to this region, the territory where
the city proper now marks it's out
lines was known as Slocum Hollow
There We're scarcely 5000 inhabitants
between Wilkes-Barre and Carbondale,
and nature with all its wild and un-
trained grandeur was evident on all
sides. The future Scranton at that
time possessed, indeed, truly wild and
Woolly appearance.
Joseph III. Scranton, and in fact all
the owners of the iron works, were idol
lied by the employees. Selden Il. Scran-
ton was president Of the company when
Mr.. Jones came here and the firm went
by the name of Scranton & Platt, which
was subsequently changed to the Lack
aWanna Iron and Coal company, and
later, within few years recollection.
TO the Lackawanna Iron and Steel com
pany.
