THE FEAR OF DEATH.
A False Notion That the Dying Usually
Fear Death.
Lon al

A False Notion That the Dying Usually
Fear Death.
From Scrlbner's Magazine.
Familiarity with death is not apt to
alter ones earlier conception of 1t. Two
ideas are very generally accepted which
experience shows to be false. One Is
that the dying usually fear death, and
the other that the act of dying is accom-
panied by pain. 1t Is well known to all
physicians that when death is near its
terrors do not seem to be felt by the pa
tient. Unless the imagination Is stimu-
lated by the frightful portrayal of the
supposed 'pangs of DEATH" or Of the
sufferings which some believe the soul
must endure after dissolution, it is rare
Indeed that the last days or hours of
life are passed In dread. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes has recorded his protest
against the custom of telling a person,
who does not actually ask to know
that he cannot recover. AS that low
ing observer of mankind asserts, so
must everyone, who knows whereof he
speaks, assert that people must always
come to understand that recovery Is i'm
possible; it Is rarely needful to tell any
one that this Is the case.
When nature gives the warning, death
appears to be as little feared as sleep.
Most sick persons are very, very tired /;
sleep-long, quiet sleep-is what they
want. l have seen many people die.
have never seen one who seemed to fear
death. except when it was, or seemed to
be, rather far away. Even those who
are constantly haunted, while strong
and well, with dread of the end of
life, forget their fear when that end
Is at hand. AS for the act of dying-the
final passage from life to death---it Is
absolutely without evidence that the
oft-repeated assertions of its painful
ness are made. Most people are uncon-
scious for some hours before they die:
and in the rare cases where conscious
ness is retained unimpaired until few
minutes before the end, the last sensa-
ton must be Of perfect calm and rest.
1t is worse than cruel to add to the nat
ural dread of death which oppresses the
majority Of us while in good health,
the dread of dying. There is surely fear
enough In this suffering world; let us
not increase 1t by adding imaginary to
real causes.

JUSTICE METED OUT.
Penalties Imposed Saturday by the Judges
Of Our Courts on Offenders Against
the Law.

Penalties Imposed Saturday by the Judges
Of Our Courts on offenders Against
the Law.
Judge Edwards was on the bench
Saturday morning and imposed
sentences on those who were convicted
during the week. Francis Morrow, the
20-year-old Archibald young man, who
plead guilty rather than go to trial,
was called first for sentence. The Tri-
bune announced that the court assigned
Attorney George w. Beale to defend
Morrow when his case was called for
trial. That was incorrect, as Attorney
Il. C.. Newcomb represented Morrow,
and on Saturday, when the defendant
was called for sentence, he made a
strong plea for mercy. Judgs Edwards
gave him scathing lecture and said he
took into consideration the condition of
the prisoners mother, who Is feeble
old woman On that account the
penalty would be a most lenient one
for the crime of which the young man
was guilty. The sentence for burglary
was fine of $50 and imprisonment In
for one year and six months; and for
larceny the same fine and one year i'm
prisonment, the second sentence to
begin at the expiration of the first.
John Meglin, found guilty of selling
liquor on Sunday, was sentenced to a
fine of $50, costs of prosecution and
twenty-one days in the county Jail.
Henry Parker, who plead guilty to
| the crime of grand larceny In stealing
| horse and carriage from Liveryman
/ Pierce, of Carbondale, was sentenced to
fine of $50, costs of prosecution and
| one one year and six months in the
Eastern penitentiary at hard labor in
separate and solitary confinement.
Abraham Jones, of Austin Heights
who brutally assaulted Mrs Michael
| Lyman, and was convicted, got a severe
! dose OF justice from Judge Gunster. II
was a fine of $780, the costs of prosecu
| ton, and five months in the county
jail
Samuel Ambrosia, found guilty ot
stealing cabbages from the garden OF
| Nicola Willardo in Carbondale, wa.
sentenced to pay fine of $25 and tn,
costs of prosecution.
Joseph Gruemenski, who was fount
not guilty of false pretenses in passing
Confederate $50 bill, was sentenced t.
pay the costs. Constable Jonatha,
Venison was found guilty of aggravated
assault and battery and the eight Huns
whom he prosecuted for resisting al
officer were also found guilty. Sentences
in these cases were not imposed.

Ayenue-Funeral ID. G. Meyers.

Eddie Faust, the 6-year-old son of
Henry c. Faust, of Birch street, was
bitten by dog yesterday afternoon
while on his way home from Sunday
school, The child became frightened
at pack OF dogs that were debating
loudly at the corner of Birch street and
Cedar avenue, and as he was passing
he placed his hand on the head of one
of them to stroke its fur and pacify
1t. The brute snapped at the boys
hand and inflicted a very ugly wound
on the fingers, decorating the flesh and
drawing the blood.
But for the intervention of man
who was close at hand the dogs might
have set upon the child and done dire
damage. DR.. A. j. Kolb was summoned
and he cauterized the wounds. He
gave it as his opinion that the child
would not suffer from any attack of
illness as the result of the bite.

PARADE OR NOT TO PARADE
Trying to Decide How st. Patrick's
Day Will BE Celebrated.
AN ENTERTAINMENT FAVORED
The Matter Was Discussed at Length at
Last Nights Meeting of Delegates Of
the american Societies
of the City.

Eight societies were represented by
their delegates at last nights meeting
In Sheridan Rifles armory of the Lack
awanna County Council of Irish-Ameri-
can societies. The societies were:
Father Mathews, Hyde Park; Division
No. 6, Ancient Order of Hibernans,
Providence; Division No. II, Ancient
Order of Hibernlans, Scranton; st.
Thomas Branch, Irish Catholic Benevo-
lent union Sheridan Rifles Henry
Grattan club, and John Mitchell club.
Chairman ]. c. Vaughan was absent
and p. ]. Honan was elected to pre-
side. Short preliminary business was
transacted and under the subject Of the
good of the order the delegates in
dulged in an expression of their views
on the means of creating an enthusiasm
among the members that will insure an
earnest cooperation and which will
unite in securing an attendance which
will take up the purposes of the so
cleties with will.
One of the members thought that II
every delegate would represent to his
society when he reported the proceed
ings of the meeting that a very deep
interest was not being taken, such
would arouse them to renewed effort,
and If delegates were remiss in attend
ing meetings of the council others would
be chosen who would be more active.
This was approved.
The subject that attracted the most
discussion was that bearing on how the
Irish and Irish American societies in
tend to celebrate st. Patrick's Day in
this city. Some of the delegates favored
parade and others thought it would
be wiser to hold an entertainment and
invite good speakers to address it,
Those who favored a parade said that
the Irish element in Lackawanna coun-
ty is AZ per cent. of the population and
for that reason they ought to observe
the anniversary Of their patron saint
in betitting manner Other nationali-
ties not half as strong celebrate such
occasions, and they think and show by
their actions that nothing too good
toward the veneration of the one they
honor can be done.
An entertainment, the opposite side
believed, would be more practically
beneficial If good speakers were en-
gagged and a fine musical and literary
programme presented. The matter was
not decided, however. at last nights
meeting, and It was settled that a
special meeting be held on the third
Sunday of January to complete all ar
rangements and agree upon a proper
method Of honoring st. Patrick.
The committee on constitution and
bylaws reported progress. 1t was the
intention if there had been a larger
meeting to take up the question OF
purchasing library, but the matter
was not touched upon.

Killed in the Mines.

Michael Dunn, of Minooka, was in
stantly killed in the Slbley shaft Sat
urday while at work. 1t is very sad
case, widow and a large family of
small children being left destitute. Mr..
Dunn was respected and upright citi-
zen of quiet disposition and very much
devoted to his family He was a miner
in the Sibley shaft in Old Forge and
there was no work on Saturday, but he
went in the mines to get a start for
next week.
A bell from the roof fell on his head
and fractured his skull. His body was
rigid and cold in death before the fact
had been discovered, as there were only
few men working in the mines that
day. The foreman was on his usual
daily rounds and he came upon the
lifeless remains. Word was sent to his
family and few hours later the body
was brought home in the mine ambu-
lance. The funeral will take place this
afternoon at 230 o'clock. 1nterment
will be made in Minooka Catholic cem-
etary.

GENERAL GRANT.
How Near His Personal Memoirs
Came to be Lost.

A Valuable History Written by q Dying
Man. - Proper Nourlshment Enabled
the Author to Live Until the Compile
tion of His Book.
The fortitude shown by General Grant
In writing the second volume Of his per-
sOnal memoirs while he was literally on
his deathbed, excels even the remarkable
courage exhibited by this famous soldier
in his many achievements on the field Of
battle.
Col. Fred Grant, speaking Of his sather's
last illness, says:-
"During the last four months of his
sickness, the principal food Of my father,
Gen. Grant, was Bovinlne and milk; and
1t was the use of this incompatible food
alone that enabled him to finish the second
volume of his personal memoirs"
DR.. 7. II. Douglas, Gen. Grants physi-
clan and friend, cordially Endorsed the
above statement.
What Bovinine did for Gen. Grant it
has done, and is now doing, for thousands
every day. 1t Is the most wonderful con-
centration into q small bulk of all the
life-giying, muscle, flesh, and blood-mak-
ing elements of lean, raw meat ever pro-
duced.
1t is in no way medicine, simply a
food invigorant, that by Its Strengthening
qualities gives the worn-out or disordered
vital centres of the body an impetus that
again starts them performing their natu.
raj functions.
1t is Endorsed by eminent physicians
everywhere, and blessed by thousand:
whose lives it has actually saved.
To neglect to use this wonderful food
in all cases of debility, wasting diseases
Overwork, stomach and nerve diseases, oil
for weak infants, chronic inyalids, loss Of
vitality in old age, is to throw away ont
Of the greatest chances of saving life.-.
