Many Wilkes-Barr people will pleas

who was here some months ago in the
interest of a fund with which to erect
a Young Mems Christian association
building at Maryville college. a Tenne-
See Institution from which he gradu-
ated with honors last year. His trip
north was so successful that he was
warranted in going ahead with the
way.
Persons who contributed to his fund.
and many in Scranton and Wilkes
Barre did so. may have the assurance
that their money was well invested. as
the editor of the Record can testify
from having been on the ground and
from personal acquaintance with the
faculty. All who met Kin Takihashi
here will be glad to know that he has

There Is another phase of the case
that will be apt to cause trouble for
Mr.. Wood and his faithhealers Dur
ing the boys illness there was no pla-
card on the house to warn the public
of the danger. 1t was an aggravated
case of diphtheria and the conditions
were such that the whole neighborhood
was in danger from infection. On this
point the law was violated and the
people are amenable for exposing the
public to the contagion.
STILL A BELIEVER.
Mr.. Wood is an intelligent man in
comfortable circumstances. He Is a

strongly believes In faith curing, even

FIREMEN'S DAY
A GREAT SUCCESS
Thirtieth Annual Event OF the Kind in
Scranton.
PARADE AND OTHER FEATURES
Thousands Of Spectators ThrOng the
Route of March..Day Included an
Inspection of the Police Depart.
ment. Mayor Bailey Was Highly
PIeased-. Ball in Music Hall in the
Evening.

1t was Fireman's Day.
For the thirtieth annual time in the
history of Scranton the city's fire de-
partment displayed itself. Hundreds
Of fire laddies. the chief, assistant
chiefs and city officials traversed the
principal streets of the city, the cynos-
ure OF many thousand pairs of admir-
ing eyes. And when 1t was all over
nobody. spectators nor participants,
were dissatisfied.
Sun vas shining. bands playing,
horses prancing, brass shining, crowds
applauding and flremen doing their
prettiest. That was the story. There
are parades and parades and parades
again. but for drawing out real en-
thusiasm and for ipfusing the real
boiled-down spirit of heart-quicken-
ings, there are few pageants that ap-
peal to the public more than does the
annual dress affair of the brave men
and shining apparatus that combined
protect the city from that subtle foe,
the flame.
Everything conspired to make the
thing success. The weather could
not have been better the department
could not have entered more sincerely
into the spirit of the parade. 1t was
just cool enough to make marching a
pleasure instead of discomfort and to
be comfortable for the thousands vi
persons who tlanked the streets along
the line of march.
AN INSPECTION ALSO.
The day witnessed not only the pa
rade There was an inspection of the
police department by Mayor Bailey and
Chief Of Police Robling early in the
afternoon, a review of the marchers
from the Wyoming avenue balcony of
the Wyoming house, an informal re-
ceptlon in Music hall after the parade,
Il visit by city officials to several of
the company quarters and u ball in
Music hall in the evening. All that
was enough to occupy the police and
tiremen, to furnish a spectacle for the
throngs of spectators and to quicken
the pulse and engage the attention of
that particular element which takes
special pride in whatever has to do
with public affairs.

When the men entered the ring both
looked to be in good condition, and each
weighed about 1S2 pounds.
Round 1-Slavin led off with a right on
the body. Both exchanged lefts on the
neck. In a clinch Slavin landed left
on the body and O'Donnell sent u
straight left on the face. Both men then
roughed it and fought wildly. O'Donnell
assumed the aggressive and landed his
left twice in quick succession on the

the Candidate.

Philadelphia. Sept. % MIR. Bryan WAS
greeted in Philadelphia tonight by Il
crowd, which according to the police
and other authorities, exceeded any out
pouring of the people on a similar occa-
sion in the history of the city. He spoke
at the Academy of Music. which has a
seating capacity of about 1000. Every
available inch in the house was occupied
two hours before Mr. Bryan arrived and
experts estimated the audience at fully
GOO. Gathered in the street outside oe
the academy were fully 30, 900 people who
stood patiently until 1890 p. m, hoping
to see or hear the candidate. The crush
was something awful Many of those
who succeeded in getting inside the
academy had their clothing almost torn
from them. Many cases Of more or less
injury were reported. one man with a
broken arm being taken to the hospital.
hundreds of policemen were powerless
to keep the crowd in check
Mr.. Bryan made his Headquarters 1T

the academy on Broad street. In front
or here over 5000 people gathered, desir-
Gus of getting at least a glimpse of the
distinguished visitor. Since ii was not
possible for Mr.. Bryan to make his way
down Broad street to the academy in his
carriage, he was conducted through the
basement and kitchen of the hotel and
out the rear door to side street. from
which he walked to the academy He
managed to make his Wy to the stage
entrance, and got inside after an expert
once with the crowd that he will long
remember.
When he appeared on the stage his re-
ception was tremendous, the cheering
lasting several minutes.
Mr.. Bryan concluded his remarks with
a reference to Prince Bismarck's letter.

statesman being loudly cheered Mr..
Bryan did not attempt to speak from
the academy balcony to the crowd in the
street but drove direct to the downtown

pie were congregated. He arrived at
about lO:45, but the noise and confusion
was so great that he spoke only a few
words and then returned to the hotel
The weather had grown quite cold and
an attempt to make a speech would have
been disastrous to Mr.. Bryans vocal or
