JUBAL EARLY AND THE BRICKS.

In Lynchburg not so long time ago
a house fell on Gen. Jubal Early.
Something was wrong with a wall
that was building and it fell in. Early
was under it. Every one thought he
was dead. They began to dig the
bricks away to secure the mangled
remains. Finally his head showed. He
was swearing. He pulled himself out
and walked away, saying:
Damn me, I didn't know there were
so many bricks in the world"

A DRAWING ROOM HAMMOCK

A tasseled hammock hung diagonal
ly across a small drawing room is af-
fected by some who strive after
uniqueness rather than elegance. Piled
with bright sofa cushions, it lends
a decided air Of Oriental luxury. The
cosy appearance is further heightened
in one apartment Of a collection Of
musical instruments in one corner of
the room and a single shelf of books
running about the four walls as a
heading to the dadO.

EDWIN FORESTS BIRTHDAY.
Many Flowers Laid on the Tomb of
the Great Tragedian.

The cold gray of the tombs in old st.
PauTs churchyard, Third street, below
Walnut, Philadelphia was changed
March by the brightness of floral Of
ferings placed upon the slab which
covers the body of Edwin Forrest. 1t
was the anniversary of the tragedian's
birth and the day was remembered fit
tingly by the inmates of the Edwin
Forrest Homes and a few of the dead
mans friends.
He was born in Philadelphia, March
9, 1906, and died December II, 1872.
His birthday is never publicly COM
memorated because it comes SO near
the date of the Shakespearean ami
versary which is celebrated at the Ed
win Forrest Home, as provided in
FORESTS will Still it is always re-
membered by a few friends The in
scription on the marble slab was
hidden beneath a huge basket of beau
tiful flowers from the inmates of the
home which the dead man founded.
Later in the day Mrs. Jane English,
the mother of Lucille and Helen West
ern, the Well-known actresses, both Of
whom are now dead; Mrs. Amelia
Serges and Mrs. de Bar, the widow Of
Ben de Bar, the one-time widely
known southern and southwestern
manager laid flowers on the tomb. In
each of the offerings there we're
leaves or flowers from the Edwin For
rest Home.

look, and he said, "Then they have

him. And Candles, turning around,

tation Among the Various Districts.
Pursuant to a meeting of the Republi.
can County committee held on July l4th,
1894, the County Convention will be
held on Tuesday, September 4th, 1894, at 10
o'clock q. M, in the court house at Scran-
ton, for the purpose Of placing in nomina-
tion candidates for the following named
offices, to be voted for at the next general
election to be held November 9th, 1894:
Congress- Eleventh district; Judge, Forty
fifth Judicial district; sheriff, treasurer
clerk of courts, prothonotary, district at
torney, recorder of deeds, register Of wills,
and jury commissioner.
Vigilance committees will hold delegate
elections on Saturday, September lst, 1894,
between the hours Of and Z p. m, They
will also give at leRst two days public
notice of the time and place for holding
said elections.
Each election district should elect at the
said delegate elections, two qualified per-
sons to serve as vigilance committee for one
year, and have their names certified to, on
the credentials of delegates to the County
Convention.
The representation Of delegates to the
County Convention is based upon the vote
cast last fall for Fell, candidate for judge
of supreme court, he being the highest
officer voted for at said state election.
Under this rule the several election districts
are entitled to representation as follows
viz.

THE TRIBUNE ordinarily would
gladly print any pertinent communi-
cation that obeyed its rule governing
brevity and a bona fide signature; but
in campaign times it prefers not to
take upon its own shoulders the re-
sponsibilities of all those who may
wish to air factional political prefer
ences prior to the coming county con-
ventions. Those conventions will
probably be able to nominate the usual
number of candidates without the help
of voluminous correspondence in the
newspapers.

THERE is considerable shrewd
sense in the suggestion of the stock
holder whose interview appears else
where in this issue, that the money
needed to conclude the capitalization
of the Bonita Glass company ought to
come from Scranton shareholders.
That company, of course, must stand
or fall on its own merits. But if it is
as meritorious as the reputable gentle
men in it claim it to be, it would be a
district advantage to all concerned to
have the directorate located in Scran-
ton. Foreign and purely speculative
ownership of industrial securities is
the bane of honest industry.

Correspondence and Comment.

Correspondence and Comment.
In reply to some rather humorous
comments upon his prospective inva-
sion of Wilkes-Barre, Rev. Mr.. Dony,
of Sunday closing renown, writes to
the Record of that city:
The Scranton work, so unkindly called q
soda water crusade, is worthy OF the con-
fidence of all good citizens and especially
Of all Christians. Its greatest success was
in closing about 400 saloons, and yet it has
severest criticism for arresting five drug
gists and neglecting the saloons when
thirty Scranton druggists were in sympa-
thy with it and the five had laid down O
challenge for the laws enforcement The
movement in Scranton has been q phe-
nomenal success and is going on to COM
plete it's work, which its best friends con-
slider to be only well begun.
The comments Of the Record upon
this letter are also interesting. 1t
says:
II Rev. Mr.. Dony has succeeded in closing
about 400 saloons in Scranton on Sundays
and keeping them closed he and the union
he represents are entitled to great deal
Of credit. But we fear that he will have
to keep very watchful eye upon those 400
Scranton saloons. Scrantonians are q
thirsty people and the temptation on the
part of the saloonkeepers up there to allay
that thirst at so much an "allay" is very
great indeed. As far as the soda fountains
are concerned that question will settle it,
self in q couple Of weeks. The season will
soon be over and the sparkling fizz but a
delightful memory. But liquor selling is
always in season ana will doubtless keep
Mr.. Dony busy the whole year round.
Meanwhile, the Rev. Mr., Dony gets
his name in the papers with that uner-
ring regularity which denotes a keen
appreciation of the advantages of
printers ink.

be free from the fifth and slime Of par
tisan malice, and that the defeated
candidate will retire from the contest
not only beloved by his friends, but

pie of Pennsylvania have become too

that once deformed our political con-
flicts." They like spice and spirit, but
not malice. Personally both candi-

ROBERT BLAKE, manufacturer Of
Hyde Park, near Boston, is satisfied
with the free wool clause of the new
tariff bill and so expresses himself.
But that is not surprising, in view of
the 40 or so per cent. addition which
this makes to Mr.. Blalie's profits. The
question before the house is how the
American wool grower will like it.

THE soLICITUDE of the administra-
ton in matters pertaining to importers
is touching, to say the least. 1t is, for
instance, announced from Washington
that those who have goods in bond
awaiting the signature or rejection of
the new tariff bill may "avoid embar.
RAISING complications by withdrawing
their goods without payment of duty,
exporting them to some nearby foreign
port, and then reimport them under
the free list after the new law becomes
operative" 1t is beautiful to notice the
working out of all this tenderness for
those who ship goods into this country
when there is so little for those who
ship goods out.

AS a statement of actual fact and as
hopeful prophecy this extract from the
Philadelphia Times is strongly to be
commended: "The past year has been
one well calculated to stimulate the
growth of agrarianism. 1t has vastly
increased the number of people who
want everything for nothing; who
want fiat money and plenty of it; who
want to live in idleness and share the
property Of the industrious, and who
want to destroy both property and life
when they are confronted by the laws
which conserve our liberty. But this
season of business paralysis and INDUS
trial depression is about ended. Long
before the convention shall meet in
1895 to nominate candidates for presi-
dent our industries are likely to be
more generally and prolitably EN-
ployed than at any time during the
last decade, with generally prosperity
throughout all classes and conditions
of the country. a year or more of in-
dustrial prosperity will rapidly dimin-
ish the ranks of the Populists, the
agrarians and the revolutionists; labor
will become more general and re-
spected; idleness will be regarded as II
vice, and all the ambitious politicians
who have been betting high for the
favor the agrarianism will be left
without cause and without hope"
We have, indeed, have enough Of this
type Of foolishness. The scheme of
creation unquestionably intended
mankind to possess and exercise vast
deal more common sense than was
shown in the Populistic-Democratic-
tramp fusions Of the past two Or three
years; and sooner Or later, despite all
clap-trap opposition and hindrance,
destiny will achieve its perfect work.
