ON Monday afternoon the Tritons go
to Nicholson to play their fifth and
last game of ball with that team. The
game is being looked forward to with
much interest as it will decide the best
three out of five. The Tritons went
over to Nicholson on Monday of this
week and some one, whose name it
wCuld hardly seem just to mention
here, telegraphed the Nicholson man
ager to look out for Tunkhannock, as
they were coming over well prepared.
1t was trfling matter and probably
had no significance, but it showed
clearly a lack of forethought for a
person at home, although in sympathy
with the opposing team, to incur the
displeasure of his fellow citizens by
such a movement. The Nicholson
manager, after having torn the name
of the sender Off displayed the tele-
gram on the ball ground. Tunkhan-
mock will play about the same team
on Monday as usual, and whichever
wins, it is hoped the same friendly
feeling which has heretofore existed
will continue.
The largest crowd that has attend

Frank Nc ManigaI, Dead.

This news was shock to the en-
tire community when it. came on
Thursday morning. He died at
o'clock at his home ON North Null
berry street. For some years Frank
has been employed in Middleport at
the brick factory of his father, r. d.
McManigal and always presented
the appearance of good health. A
few weeks ago he came home not
feeling so we'll, and when we gave
him good shake of the hand he
told us he was home to rest up
awhile, On last Saturday we met
him on the street and he, was in a
happy, good humor, but told us that
he did not feel stout, but hoped to
gain after awhile. In less than a
week our young companion and
friend lies a corpse. He seemed to
sink rapidly in a few days and no
medical skill could help him. He
was but % years of age, cut down in
the bloom of young manhood, with
multitude of young friends, who SO
earnestly hoped for his recovery. 1t
is deep bereavement for his good
parents and family, who have the
deep sympathy of our people.
The funeral will take place at the
home Saturday afternoon.

A New Concern.

A company has been organized
in Logan for the manufacture of
the Yukon grain and seed sepera-
tor. The company held meeting
Tuesday evening and elected the
following officers: President, e. g.
HOLMAN; Secretary, II. J. Wood
worth; Treasure, G. w. Schwenke.
This machine is new invention,
just patented, and is the only ma
chine on the market which will
thoroughly clean and grade all
grain and grass seeds. The new
company have purchased the rights
of sixty counties in the state. For
the present the Logan Plow Com
pany, better known as the Mother
well Iron & Steel Company will
manufacture the machines for the
new company.

at time. This was the time when
poor Noah SwaEtz would come in
and help US on the paper without
pay, and then Green tried to give
him black eye In the appointment
of reYenuest0re keeper in this dis
trict, which position he got in spite
of Green, and hell at the time of
his death. -a..4 ....,.
We fed he and his family many
times by the personal patronage
we woald get from our friends who
hated him. We got patronage
from the lodges to which we be-
longed, though he cursed US when
we joined the Knights of Pythjas,
and called them "a set of damned
A. r. AS" sHe is the pretty speci-
men of humanity that we toiled
for, for four years, and now he
boasts, that he. fed US.
Green shows his little, narrow
brain, and belittled principle by al
ways growing about the campaign
singers, because we happen to be a
party thereto.
Why, in his issue of Nov. Sth,
1891, when we were talking of or
ganizing quartette for campaign
ing he said,, ,"We salute the glee
club. the song writers of the cum
try, ami we care not who writes
the laws and constitution. Give
us the glee club and we will capture
Hooking county, and he for saw
the truth.
If his children were music ii and
had organized a glee club ana as
sisted in the campaigns of Hooking
to success, he never would get done
blowing about it. But it isn't his
children. Somebody else belongs
to it, and now he grannies and
whines "cause zey won't let him
in zee glee clab." Get your pitch
and come in. We want snare
drum any how, and we know Of
none with more snares than he.
If Dolllson sings in the church
choir, or an entertainment, Green
comes out in his paper praising
every thing but the singing and the
sing ars, and says they "chuck like
old hens" and then he runs to Cart
Bright, and says, "your music was
excellent, just said what did to
slap the fellow across the street."
Poor silly, soft soul. Every body
gives him the laugh, and yet they
pity him.
His low babblings Of Mr.. j. r..
Brannan who works for us, is a
shame. Brannan is n republican
and has right to his politics. We
employ him as our news gatherer
and no better is there in Logan.
He has nothing to do with the
policy OF any paper. We also en-
ploy Lee Grove, printer, and he is
"A republican,. Both of these gentle
men have recently worked for
Green, and quit because they
couldn't get their pay. But Green
couldn't find anyone else 10 jump
onto, so he let out on Brannan.
The later has no newspaper de-
fense, and he would be justified in
just taking a club and smashing
the face OFF his old grizzly assailant.

drilled the Greeks in the manual OF
arms. Before starting for the front he
was inspecting the hospitals, and there
met the Princess Marie. Through her
he was accorded a special audience

signed by the king to Prince Constan-
tines staff, with headquarters at liner

Greek maiden, who was in the city as
a nurse. He met her on the steamer
Crete. Her father her brothers and
her cousins were all in the army, and
the girl, who is only II years old, had
volunteered as a nurse in the army hos

admitted him to the hospital at any

French scientist, Monsieur De ZAP
parent. finds in Nansen's discovery of
the unexpectedly great depth Of the
Arctic ocean an argument tending to
show that the earth is slightly top
shaped. the protuberance correspond
ing to the point of the top being at the
south pole. This, he thinks, would eX-
plain the different results arrived at by
the various measurements of astrono-
mers and geodesists. These differences
are very small in comparison with the
entire bulk of the globe, yet they are
readily appreciate, and one of the ex-
plantations that has been suggested for
them is that the earth is tetrahedral
in form. But Monsieur De lApparent
thinks the top-shape theory is prefera-
bic. The fact that to an eye looking at
the earth from point in space it would
not sensibly differ in appearance from
a true sphere, shows how refined are
the methods of science which enable
men living on the surface of the globe
TO detect variations in its general con-
tour.

sess a particular interest, because IN,
them have been discovered remains or
exceedingly strange and rare prehistor-
ic animals, such as some of the flying
reptiles that once dwelt in Europe, but
have now disappeared from the earth.
The science of geology has gained much
from these fossils, which, fiattened and
compressed, and leaving their impress
slons in the rock, might be likened to
engravings from natures own hand,
whereby she has handed down to us
pictures of a world whose antiquity ex-
tends far beyond the limits of human
memory or human history. Recently IL
has been stated that the Solenhofen
quarries are approaching exhaustion,
and that new source of supply of lith-
ographic stone is needed. 1t is graft
flying to know that our own country
may supply the want, excellent stone
of the kind required being found in
Tennessee. In the meantime, in Ger
many the possibility of substituting
aluminium for Solenhofen stone is be"
ing discussed.

A pack of Chinese playing cards IS
genuine curiosity. They are generally
printed in black on thin cardboard,
the average width being about that of
the finger of the human being. In some
cases they are only half inch broad and
about three and half inches in length.
The length, whatever the size, is al
ways at least six times that of the
width.
Some of the packs have queer repre-

and "knaves" stamped upon them in

the fauna of the Sandwich Islands has
recently given an interesting account
of the triumphs achieved by eoccinella
beetles, or ''ladybirds," introduced into
those islands to combat the aphides
and other injurious insects which were
destroying sugar cane and fruit trees.
The ladybirds, as soon as they had bred
In sufficient numbers, swept everything
before them, and saved the trees and
plants from threatened destruction.
This method of setting one species of
insect at war with another, for the ben
eft of man, has proved particularly
successful in the Sandwich Islands,
where the struggle for existence among
native insects has not been so severe
as in continental countries, and where
the hardy invaders We're as resistless
as the trained legions of Rome when

THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER.
The Woman Who Suggested the Poem

died Recently.
Had Thomas Moore never written
any other poem than 1.-THE Last Rose
of Summer" his fame would endure.
Yet had it not been for Mrs. Amelia
Kohler who died at Mount Vernon, n.
Y, not long ago, Moore might never
have written the famous words.
The poem, according to the firm bel1ef
of Mrs. Kohler's friends, was of her
suggestion, and the first line was ut
tered from her lips. She was early in
the century a close friend of Moore's
sister, who kept a private school In
London. While walking in the garden
of the school with the poet one day
Mrs. Kohler. so the story runs, pluck
ed rose, remarking: "'Tis the last rose
of summer; why not write about it, Mr..
Moore?
The incident suggested the thought
that was afterwards so beautifully
woven into verse, and the poem was
dedicated by the poet to Amelia, which
is Mrs. Kohler's first name. Her life

was of interest in more ways than this,
however. She was 90 when she died,
and for twenty years had lived with
her daughter, Mrs. f. N. Saunders,
who lives with her husband in Mount
Vernon. Her maiden name was Amelia
Offergeld, and her father was an officer
under Gen. Butcher. The family home
was in Aix-la Chapelle, France. When
quite young she married Charles Koh-
Ter, London merchant. After her
husbands death she came to America
to live with her daughter.
