No part of Senator Buffers speeches

An option for the purchase of the
valuable First Presbyterian church
property on Washington avenue has
been sought from the trustees of the
church by c. Parker Davidson, repre-
senting a party of five local capital
lists, himself one Of the number. The
trustees have called a meeting of the
congregation to consider the matter to-
night.
The property has a frontage of LOG
feet and is 100 feet in depth. Two years
ago an option was asked and given,
$1,000 per front foot or a total of $780,
600 being the price named. At the
present time the members of the con-
gregation differ as to the value of the
lot. They think it worth from 81, 900 to
Sl,250 a front foot
For what purpose the property is
wanted by the Davidson party, is not
known.
As soon as the Washington avenue
lot is sold a contract will be made for
the building of a new church edifice at
the corner of Madison avenue and Olive
street, the reservoir lot" purchased
some time ago from the Scranton Gas
and Water company. \ new parson-
age is now nearing completion there at
cost of $4,000. The plans for the
new church were accepted over year
ago and provide for an edifice which
will cost about S15O.000.
The church acquired S37 500 from the
sale of it's old parsonage property next
to the church. OF this 100000 was used
to purchase the Madison avenue prop
erty and the remainder was applied on
the cost of the new parsonage.

Bruin In Winter.

Bruin does not retire from the open
till he is compelled to do so by frost and
snow. He lives through the summer on
berries, buds, insects Of every kind,
grass, mice or any other small animal
that he can get. 1 may say, for the ben
eft of the gentlemen that publish SO
many terrifying bear stories in the daily
newspapers, that bruin is as harmless as
COW during the summer and will take
to his heels in fright on sight of a hu-
man being. 1t is only when he leaves
his lair too early in the spring and he is
not able to find anything to eat that he
will attack man, but he prefers calf
or sheep, and the farmers table is often
short at shutdown.
But, as 1 have. said, when winter
overtakes him he sets about to find a
winter home. He has very likely during
the summer, when poking his nose into
hollow trees looking for the honey of
wild bees, seen some place that will
suit him, and to this he goes straight
way. The tree must lie Il large one, and
he will not select 1t unless there is
space with plenty of room, where the
Snow or rain cameo reach him. Thus
secured, be bundles himself together,
his head Oh his paws, closes his eyes,
and remains in this posture till "those
blind motions of the spring" tell that
1.-THE year has turned. =" Then he drags
himself out and begins his struggle for
existence.
Sometimes, however, when lying in
this stupor, loud sounds startle him, and
his tree castle shakes. This is when the
luln bermen have found him and are as
sailing the tree with their axes. He sell
dom escapes, and if he does he will sure
" die in the snowy forest unless he
can find another home.-Our Animal
Friends.

4 Dom Pedro Fctc.

The recent funeral OF Nine. Furtado-
Heine, which took place at the chateau
Of Rocquencort, recalled pretty story
Of marvellous fete given q few years

In September, 1890, the emperor, then
but recently exiled, after a reign of 90
years. was staying at Versailles, pass
Ing the autumn months with his daugh-
ter, the Comtesse d'Eu. One day, as he
passed before the iron ratings of the
garden of the castle Rocquencort, he
saw the splendid lighthouses and the mass
i've beds of flowers. Curious to know
who lived there, he said he would much
like to visit the estate. Nine. Furtado-
Heine hurried to receive him and
showed him round the garden and
through the hothouses. Madame, " said
Dem Pedro, ~ see the vegetation of
my country the trees are the same, and
l breathe and smell the same flowers.
owe to you the first joy that I have felt
since my exile. Thank you, thank you
1T hope the emperor will feel at home
here" said Nine. Heine. my doors
will ever be open to receive your majes-
ty.' A week after Dom Pedro returned
and consented TO remain TO dinner. The
walls of the dining room were decorated
with rose leaves of every color and
formed the imperial arms Of Brazil.
The park was illuminated, and splen-
did concert was given in his honor
San Francisco Argonaut.
