The Wants aiDg Quaker.

Only lately, writ-s Thomas Whar-
ton, have PhiIadeipblans beg un to re
alize and reflect upon the disappear
ance of the Quakers as we knew them
only lately has 1t been brought home
to us tn 1T gradual obliteratiOn of the
uncomprOmisins orthodoxy has set IN
which me ans the ultimate absorption
OF the sect. Even now, rare as Is the
old garb On the streets where IL was
such common sight SO many years
ago, the assertion that the society is
diminishing would meet with doubt
and hesita ton. We are SO familiar
with the Quaker, he Is SO necessary
and potent type in Philadelphia,
that we would not accept the warrant
even of statistics; yet, now that the
visible limit has been reached, VIVA
can we do but awake to the cnange:
We see few board brimmed hats ana
drab bonnets where we once saw many
of those who wear them the most are
old AMI trembling. If there are young
Quakers, how are We to recognize them !:
Not by their dress, at any rate. And
why? Because the society sis losing its
control over its younger mem oers! Be-
cause its rigid rules no longer suf11ce
to hold in check the human spirit,
with its unconquerable love OF free
dom? This is the common eXplana-
ton.

Returned Tuesday Evening After
Another Successful Season in Lou-
don.
WilkesLBarre, July 1.--Says the
Record Miss Sadie Kaiser returned
last evening, after a years absence in
London. She arrived on the Paris, and
after spending a couple of days with
her brother in Greenwich, Conn, ar
rived In Wilkes Barre at 11.51 last
night. She was met at the station by
her family and friends, who were
greatly pleased to see her at home
once more.
Miss Kaiser's second year at the
Royal Academy of Music in London
has been one of exceptional success.
Not only has she filled many import
ant engagements while there, but her
teachers are enthusiastic and predict
for her a brilliant future as a vocalist.
She has become thoroughly familiar
with the singing of old and modern
oratorio and opera productions, both of
which she has sung with success in
London and vicinity, as well as the
music of the German, French, Italian
and English schools. She has studied
most successfully under such eminent
'NuNhViS 90 lNoilutSSNi III VI w hhN
opera, Thorp in vocal development and
Henry Wood, conductor of the great
symphony concerts and acknowledged
by all to be the coming greatest con-
ductor in Europe, for dramatic and
aorid concert work. Last July she re-
ceived a certificate from Sir Aleexand-
er Mackenzie, the highest award in the
gift of the Royal Academy, to the eff
feet that she is thoroughly qualified
to teach all branches of the vocal art
and as public artist, Miss Kaiser has
any number of the most flattering
press notices from the leading Jour
nails of London, where she has sung at
nearly every leading musical event held
IN that city during the past year.
After a brief rest it is Miss Kaiser's
intention to give a series of concerts
prior to her return to London. where
she expects to complete her studies.
The people of Wilkes Barre and vicin-
ity will be eager to hear the plucky
little lady who has captured the IA
vor of London critics with her fine
voice.

Upon Her Death Bed.

Wilkes-Barre, July 1.-About a week

Armstrong, was taken i'll with apop-
lexy and fell into a stupor from which
she did not recover and died at 1.SO

she was stricken she rallied for a few
minutes, and calling her husband to
her said that she had saved and laid
away in her house $2,7O0 in gold. After
that she sank into unconsciousness

Enough information had been made
