months for restoration to health. Ac-
companied by one of his daughters, he
sailed for Europe on July 27, and has
been under treatment at Mannheim.
His frequent visits to Scranton
during the past fifteen years, both
as bishop and us assistant to the VEN
cradle Bishop Howe, who died a few
years ago, We're always occasions of
welcome from the several Episcopal
parishes and missions in this city. He
had many hundreds of warm friends
and admirers among his own and other
denominations here.
An Associted Press dispatch from
Bethlehem last night confirmed the
earlier reports of Bishop Rulison's
palians in this city.
The dead bishop was born at Garth
age, N. Y, in 1S43. He graduated at
the General seminary in 1866, and held
rectorships at Morris, N. Y; Jersey
City and Cleveland. In 1885 he was
elected assistant bishop of the Cen
trail Pennsylvania diocese of the Pro-
testant Episcopal church and four
years later became bishop in full charge
of the diocese. The church of the Ma
tivity, in South Bethlehem, was made
his pro-cathedral few years ago, when
the bishop took up his episcopal resi-
dence there.
Bishop Rulison was president of the
board of trustees of Lehigh university
and of the library committee. He is
survived by four daughters, Mrs. c. p
Coleman, Mrs. Rev. DR.. Elwood Wor-
cester, of Philadelphia; Miss c. Con-
stance Rulison. a student at Bryn
Mawr college, and Miss Edith Rulison
His body will be brought to this coun-
| try for interment.

BEFORE BREAKFAST.

A Scranton girl has returned from
her summer outing with a number of
trophies in the shape of spoons "col-
lected" from hotels, steamers, yachts,
swell Pullman cars, and other points
on her tour. They are frankly dis
played and are the object of much envy
among her friends You needn't look
so shocked; she isn't any worse than
a Scranton man who brought home
souvenirs" in the shape of brass
candlesticks and sundries from old
French, England and Welsh inns. His
feminine friends and relatives were
unaffectedly delighted to receive them
as gifts, and they display their ill-got-
ten gains with much pride, although
the purloiner made no secret of the
way in which they were acquired. He
reasoned that the innkeepers charged
him for candles and things that he
didn't use, so he had to reimburse him.

He was a peach vender and he had
big voice and a big load of peaches,
yesterday afternoon, warranted large
solid yellow Delaware peaches" He
sold a great many baskets on the
Hill" and great many housewives,
In examining their purchase after his
departure, decided that he had sold"
as many women as baskets of fruit.
The bottom of each receptacle was well
filled with peaches the size of olives,
1t wasn't long until there was an un-
usual spectacle in that locality Sew
eral of the buyers were discovered
streaking down the avenue in search
OF their bunco man. On the way they
decided to be foxy in their approach
and not tell him the real errand upon
which they were bent, but lead him to
believe that they wanted more fruit,
So one woman went on ahead and he
returned to her house with alacrity.
Then the others gathered about and
volubly explained their grievance and
demanded their money. The man
looked little scared, but he was pretty
brave after all. for after considering
the matter moment he remarked: :
init, i don't give no money back on
a Wednesday, it's bad luck; couldn't
think of it, but" as they began to
berate him for a fraud, he FASTENED to
add, Tell you what I'll do. I'll swop
baskets with every one of ye," which
he did forthwith, pouring out the con-
tents and proving that he really had
some honest merchandise. Then he
went off muttering: "Derned if I'd "a
thought it! Catch me comm up among
the swells again. Stingy as pison!"

For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain John Scaldema, the man
who attempted to shoot Special Of
ficer Harry Courtright in Raymond
court Tuesday night, may be safely
matched against Bret Harte's heath
en- Chinee. He was sent to the county
jail yesterday in default of $500 bail by
Mayor Bailey, but it was only the
watchful eye of an orderly at the Lack
awanna hospital which gave his honor
the chance to umpire the case at all
When Scaldema fell to the sidewalk
on Penn avenue as he saw the star
on Patrolman McMullen's chest and
was taken in the patrol wagon to the
Lackawanna hospital the man was
playing one big game of bluff.
Scaldema snapped a revolver twice
at Courtright, and once leveled his
gun at the hero of many a tilt at law

ably knew that the offense was se-

showed no unusual haste.
MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
The mystery was explained when a
few hours after the doctors had left
Scaldema, an orderly happening to look
at the fellows bed saw Scaldema lift
his head and peer cautiously about the
darkened room. The only light was
from the ante rooms and these threw
shadow on the orderly, while Seal

there was no one in the room. carefully

was about to step upon the floor when
the orderly sprang to him and by main
force threw him back into the bed.
Scaldema at once relapsed into his fake

attempted to escape, but the orderly
was by his side at all times. At &
