NO LONGER SPEAK.

Dan Hart, In Wilkes-Barre Leader.
1t is said that two Of our most prominent
attorneys no longer touch glasses at the
close of a busy day, nor do they sit on each
others verandas and smoke each others
cigars. And all because of the idle chatter
Of a little boy. On Sunday evening Mr..
Franklin Street with wife and child WIS.,
tied the home of Mr.. River Street. During
the evening the boy said to Mr. River
Street:
Your house is made of bricks, amt it?"
"Yes, my boy"
why / heard papa tell mamma that
you lived In glass house."
A quietness stole over the room and
when the visitors shortly afterward arose
to depart, the host did not accompany
them to the door.
Now they meet as strangers.

Ono Live Senator'S Work.
From the Montrose Republican.

will, II 1t becomes a law, place a neat sum

Walter Wellman quotes one of Civil
Service Commissioner Proctors stories
in proof of the fact that Proctor Is

former afterward. "Down in Proctors
part of Kentucky" he says, "a fellow

ocratic convention for some local office.

ground that he was not a Democrat,

meant defeat unless something decisive
were done, rushed out and found their

eye was fixed upon him, Mr.. Chair

The Spanish minister at Washington,
Senior Dupuy De Pom, regards the pres
ident's proclamation forbidding Ameri-
can citizens to aid the Cuban patriots
as "glving death-blow" to the upris-
ing in Cuba. What a queer coincidence
It Is that the Cleveland policy seems oil
the way through to be totryto give death
blows to the struggles of weaker ma
tions for liberty; and TO get very neutral
whenever big, nation like England
plans a new theft Of territory.

Her Letters viii DC Missed.

From the Wilkes-Barre Kodak
Miss Kaiser, who has been abroad study
Ing hard, and, 1t is learned, successfully,
in the art Of which she Is so delightful an
exponent, has been compelled to abandon
the pleasing Saturday letters she has been
supplying to the Scranton Tribune for a
year past, because of the necessity to give
all her time to musical culture. Her in
teresting communications will be missed,
but a stronger desire will possess the COM
munty to welcome and hear her when she
returns.

From the Wilkes-Barre Leader.
In Pittston city a man who bought a

for $S On protesting to Lafferty, the as

right. He said he had read his instruc-

THAT EISTEDDFOD.
This Is the Proper Spirit.

Wilkes-Barre Times: "The result of the
late eisteddfod, while not especially favor
able to the local choirs in respect to prizes
won. was entirely satisfactory in a musical
way. Scranton took away a great proper
ton of the cash prizes because their sing
ing was better; not better to any alarming
extent but just shade to turn the scale
with the extremely critical and unusually
competent adjudicators. Our singers have
nothing to be ashamed of or regret in the
outcome, as the singing of all the parties
competing was far and away above that
possible to be heard anywhere else. Our
defeat should only act as an incentive to
greater activity and more earnest en-
deavor to excel all previous efforts and
the next time Scranton is met in the
musical field to give her second place"

Artistieally n Success; Financially, Not

Wilkes-Barre Record: THE results Of
the musical festival can be summed UP In
few words-it was an artistic success
and a financial failure. Why so magnih-
cent an affair was not better attended
must be ascribed to the poor times. Those
who are acquainted with the people who
usually can be depended upon to patron
ize the divine art. say they are too poor
just now to indulge In anything they can
do without, all their money going to buy
the bare necessaries Of life"

The Battle for Social Purity.

A combination of the regular prac-
titioners of medicine has been formed
in Allegheny county for the purpose OF
fighting the vendors of certain notori-
Gus quack nostrums the sale Of which
is prohibited by law. If success shall
attend this crusade in Allegheny, the
battle will be extended over the entire
state. The alleged remedies in question
deal with diseases to which only i'm
moral persons are subject, and OF
course are utterly worthless. To sup
press their sale without striking at the
evil which makes that sale profitable
will be difficult task; but in any event
1t is one which thoroughly deserves to
succeed, and which will have the cor
dial support of decency everywhere.
This determination Of the Allegheny
county physicians, albeit founded IN
part on selfish interest, Is one of
number of contemporary signs which
indicate a vigilant and wholesome ac-
tiyity on the part of those forces which
tend to preserve society from disinte-
grafton. The serious effort now dis
cernible in many cities to suppress or
minimize the social evil; the deep inter-
est taken by recent conventions of ply
sicians in plans to prevent the COM
mission of crimes by obstetricians and
to drum unworthy practitioners out of
the medical profession; and, more i'm
portant than all else, the tendency OF
fair-minded men and women to frown
down the iniquitous double standard of
morals maintained for centuries In
Judging male and female offenders are
tokens of moral progress,
which he who runs may read. 1t is Inn
possible for any rational critic to view
these things and then decide adversely
upon the proposition that the moral
tone of society is steadily improving
1t is not to be inferred that the mil
lenium is yet near; but it is a fair infer
ence that cleanliness Of morals and
manners is distinctly on the up grade,
and that every good citizen Is justified
In pushing 1t along.
