She was i'll at her home. He learnedthe
address. Next day some exquisite red
roses cheered the sight of the sick girl.
No card accompanied them. Every day
the gift was repeated.
HE did not see her again until one
evening when she returned from the
city with a number of friends.
when the merry party alighted the
pretty girl looked shyly at the con-
ductor. She had warm heart that
often led her to forget the less i'm

babe adieu to the cat at home. Why
rot to this quiet, stern-looking man
who, she vaguely remembered, had al
ways been kinder than his duties re-
quired? Besides, she was so happy to-
night that her heart overfowed with
kind impulses. 'Good-by,' she said,
softly. L shall not ride on your line
again soon. We go to Cleveland to live.
I was married to-day!'
'The hand pressure that returned
hers was gentle and respectful. The
mans face was ashen. He said not a
word. He was surprised. Perhaps I
should not have done that she whis-
pered to the bridegroom. Nothing you
do could be wrong, DEAR he whispered,
and neither thought of the conductor
again. I know him well, and 1 was
at loss to account for his moroseness
and the premature whitening of his
hair. 1t was long afterward that he
told me this in burst of confidence. 1t
was the death of the mans ambition.
That happened Is years ago. He is a
street car conductor still, probably al
ways will be. He seems to have no de-
sire to become anything else"

A Fire SupplY.

Until quite recently, the dwarfs Of

make fire. ON one of the islands of the
archipelago is an active volcano, from
which they were accustomed formerly
TO obtain fresh supplies Of fire at inter
walls. Special expeditions for this pur-
much as they knew how to keep fire
burning In decayed wood for an lndef-
mite length Of time. The people Of a
village, when leaving an encampment
with the intention Of returning in few
days. would take with them one or
more smOldering logs. At the same

time they would place a large burning
log or fagOt In u sheltered spot, where
1t would smolder for long while, so as
to he easily rekindled when required.
This method OF keeping fire In decayed
wood Is still practiced commonly by
the Little Niggers." Nothing intro
duced by whites has ever excited their
wonder so much rs friction matches.
TO produce fire with such ease offhand
struck them as actually a supernatural
accomplishment.

A Call for Fair Play.

It is begging the question for any leg
islator to assume that the cost of good
roads can be so apportioned by legisla-
tion as to escape the farmer 1t can
not and it should not be so apportioned;
and the SDatz bill and all other bills
which purpose to impose a special tax
on the residents of cities for the i'm
provement of roadways in the country
deserve to be defeated instanter as
false in principle and vicious in sug-
gestion.
There is no reason in equity why the
man who propels a bicycle along a
road should be mulcted in the sum of
one dollar a year special tax while the
farmer who drives a wagon over the
same road is exempt. The bicycle does
the road no injury whatever; it is the
wagon, if anything, that makes the
ruts. If IT is necessary to tax ve-
hicles at all, let the levy be made with
out discrimination, and then the Wheel
men will not complain nor will the dray-
man dare to. But none of this would
be funny business aimed exclusively at
wheelmen as class! Inat is not Ialr;
it is not Just, and the wheelmen of
Pennsylvania, it may be timely to re-
mark, simply will not stand it.
The benefits of good roads will reach
every citizen and every class in the
community, and for that reason, if for
no other. the cost of good roads should
be similarly diffused. The farmer who
holds out against reasonable and eco-
nomical highway Improvement lit
orally by so much cuts down his
chances of making the old farm pay;
adds to the causes which impel his
boys and girls to skip, ere full grown
to the cities. and is in other clearly
demonstrated ways a forward factor
in his own undoing. Sensible and fore
sighted farmers see this and therefore
lead in the good roads movement
Those who remain blind are to be borne
with impatience, but they must not be
permitted to sprag for much longer the
wheels of rural progress.

SCRANTON. APRIL 6, 1897.

BY an accident in our press room yes
terday morning the delivery of por-

what delayed. For assistance in this
emergency we desire to express our
obligations to ]. A. Scranton & Son, of
the Republican. During the remainder
of this week, or until this mishap can
be remedied, The Tribune, through the
courtesy Of Messrs. Barrett and Jor-

press. We ask the kind indulgence of
patrons for any shortcomings which
may result during this unforeseen in

American ingenuity ought to be able
to do the rest
While the bulk of this trade is ours
as II Is. there is no certainty that IT
will remain ours II we take no steps to
secure 1t. Already the Japanese are
talking about establishing large tex
tile establishments in Hawaii, to send
their products into the United states.
If this intention were ever to be exc
cuted, II would sound the death knell
of the domestic textile industry on the
Pacific coast. No tariff could keep the
Japanese products out, provided they
had the start in cheapness of labor,
nearness of factory site and other ad-
vantages which Hawaiian occupation
would carry with 1t.
The fact Is that the opportunity now
open to Uncle Sam to annex Hawaii is
tremendous bargain. 1t means that
property of almost infinite value is
to be had without price, and with the
glad consent of the present owners.
We can imagine no adverse circum-
stance sufficient to warrant a rejection
of the overture.

Is This a Christian Nation ?

The Rev. DIR. Henry r. Brann, Of
New York, clergyman of the Catho-
lie church, processes to be alarmed at
the discovery that of the 10000, 900 in
habitants of the United States, only
about 2O,0O0,000, all told, are communi-
cants of a church; and he AYERS from
this premise that this, in a strict sense
of the word, is not a Christian nation
One need not excuse non-attendance
at church or isolation from denomina-
tional activities in order to point out
that the reverend gentleman's asser-
tion is eXtravagant. Though it be true,
on the face of the census returns, that
only about two Americans in seven
belong to church, we hope to escape
prosecution for heresy if we assert that
easily as many as three of the unre-
generate five are, to all intents and
purposes. Christians in their sympa-
thies, their aspirations, their ethics and
their general views of duty. At least
three, and may be more, are Christians
in their civic relations and are ready
at all times to cooperate with the
friends of the church as against it's foes
in the material combats of every day
life. We doubt if one in seven is an
avowed skeptic, ready to reap the fruits
of Christianity while reviling it's tenets
and embarrassing it's progress.
This is perhaps not the place to speak
of religion in a personal sense; but
we are certainly tempted to claim for
many of those who through one reason
or another, remain unidentified with
the UNCONVENTIONAL church a personal
approximation to the essential condi-
tions of Christianity such as would
by no means warrant their classified
ton among the heather. Not all who
commune are Christians in fact; and il
is a poor principle to lay down that
the strength of Christianity in a coun.
try of intelligence and freedom is
bounded by the church-membershiI
polled in the last decennial census.

ORIGIN OF EASTER LILIES.

Within the rich mans garden
Full many a flower was seen,
With crowns of gold and crimson
On cups of emerald green.
They brought the dead King thither,
And every flower in bloom
Bowed down it's head in sorrow
About the Savior's tomb.
But see! the white winged angels
Have rolled the stone away,
And mid the flowers only
The white grave cerements lay.
Next day they sought to find them;
Lo! rising where they fell,
Like the white hand of an angel,
Waved there-a lily bell.
So pure. so white and spotless
1t pointed in the air.
AS If to tell new comers
That He had risen there,
Born of His white robes fallen,
Like white leaves folded up,
They found scepter gold and small
Within each fragrant cup.
And so amid the blossoms
OF the rich mans fragrant bowers
Was born the Easter lily
The angel of the flowers.

More About Hawaii.

Some additional facts regarding Ha-
wall deserve TO be noted. American
interests on the Hawaiian islands are
already paramount. OF the total in
vestments held there in June, 1898, ma
tive and Hawaii-born Americans owned
nearly two-thirds, or $26,109,166 out of
s36,S4l,6 $50. To take Hawaii into our
union would be merely holding. our
own. ......-..
The total national debt of the repub-
lie of Hawaii is only about $4,000, 900.
One years exports would pay this debt
twice over and leave a working mar
gin beside. Under American control
these exports, now worth about eight
and one-haIf millions per annum
ought to increase to double and treble
that amount. The natural wealth Is
there awaiting development, and

That was an interesting statement
which Congressman William Connell, OF
LackawaEna, showed TO the representa-
tive of a Washington newspaper, TO the
effect that the Third National bank OF
Scranton, of which he is president, mas
during the past four years loaned almost
S22 600 on notes and has lost only
49, $50 out of that amount The statement
would seem almost incredible, were 1t
not for the official figures furnished,
Money lenders and business men, we
should think, would be glad of an OPP
portunity to take lessons In tnanciering
from the millionaire banker, who, 1t Is
said, once worked in the mnos at seventy
five cents a day, while it would seem
from the financial statement reproduced
above, that his first lieutenant in the
banking business-William II. Peck
cashier of the Third National-who has
friends in our community, also knows a
thing or two about banking.

We feel inclined to offer our heartfelt
sympathy to the afflicted people of
whom the Montreal Mining News says:
The town of Wilkes-Barre, Pa, is ap-
parently being engulfed by the caving in
of the Lookout mine, which is excavated
under tie site of the town. 1t appears
that quicksand broke through the shaft,
flooding the workings from which the
miners had barely time to escape with
their lives. The postoffice, on the main
street. sank 25 feet, and houses round il
have sunk &c a similar depth. The t0wu
