In The Trihune's portrait gallery
probably no face is more familiar to
business men and members of the legal
profession than that of eX-Sheriff A.
B. Stevens, whose successes have
entitled him to recognition as a man
of enterprise and integrity and a lead
ing spirit in Lackawanna county
politics.
as a business man and public Of
fetal, the record of Mr.. Stevens is
creditable to himself and interesting
TO others. During the long period of
his residence in Scranton he has PROV
ed the possession of the keen judg-
ment that secures business prosperity
and the genial temperament that wins
personal friends. The spirit that led
him to enlist in the Union army during
the Civil War has led him to support
all loyal and patriotic movements; yet
though firm in the expressions of his
| opinions on political and other leading
questions of the day, he is not intol-
Grant or bigoted. A marked trait Of
| his character is his interest in the well
fare of others. Sometimes this has in
| creased his own responsibility, espe-
| cially in seasons of financial depras-
sion, but it has never made him sus-
| picious or cold, nor affected his equa-
| ble temperament.
The birth of Mr.. Stevens occurred in
Broome county, NY, Sept. 2l. 1884. He
was the youngest of seven children. At
the age of thirteen he entered the
| Binghamton academy. His studies
were cut short by his fathers death
four years later and at the age of thir-
| teen he was apprenticed to the trade of
a marble cutter which he followed for
| three years in Einghamton. In Sep
| tember 1856. he came into what is now
! Lackawanna county and settled al
| Dalton (then known as Bailey Hollow),
! in Abingdon township, where he en-
gagged in the marble business for five
| years, as member of the firm of
| Green g. Stevens. On dissolving the
partnership, in 1862 he came to Scran-
ton and started in the marble business
| at the head of Penn avenue on Lacka-
| wanna. where the old Second National
bank stands. He was n member of the
firm of Stevens IL May and continued
the business while in the army, hiring
man in his place.
August IA. 1864, Mr. Stevens enlisted
in Company c, Two Hundred and
Third Pennsylvania infantry, and was
mustered in at Scranton as a private
but Sept. q ne was made first lieuten-
ant at Philadelphia, and served as such
until May 20, 1865, when the war hav.
| ing closed, he was honorably dis.
| charged. He was at Petersburg and
took part in the skirmishes from Deel
Bottom to Chapin's Farm in front oi
| Richmond, the second battle OF Fail
Oaks, and both expeditions to Fort
| Fisher. At the capture of that fort
January Is, 1865, the captain and hal
of the company fell and Lieutenant
Stevens took command of the remain
ing members. February 22 he was a.

pitiful striving after something better
than she has known, to be something
other than she is? Philanthropsts,
philosophers and magazine writer's
may talk about the dignity of labor
the nobility of honest toll and the
beauty of belonging to the world of
busy ones-not to the army of the idle
until the earth grows old. Above and
beyond all this in the girlish heart Is
the ambition which always has be-
meath it hope and which always looks
out toward a brighter sphere. Is it not
good that it is so? What If false pride
cheapens the nobler sentiment? What
if the truth of discontentment gnaWs

lenses? Is it not something that the
sordid life gains a bit of brightness,
transient though it be? If pretty

CHILDHOOD LOVERS UNITED.
An Interesting Romance Which BE-
gan In Muncie, Ind, and
Ended in Hawaii.

An interesting romance, which be-.
gun in Muncie, Ind, and ended in Homo
lulu, has just been told to the brides
relatives in the Indiana town. Twenty
years ago Miss Allie Smell, eldest daugh-
ter of DR.. S. Smell, now deceased, and
George w. r. King were schoolmates
and lovers. They agreed to get mar
ried when both reached a certain age,
but the young mans parents moved
from Muncie and finally landed in
Honolulu, where they have since re-
sided. Miss Smell was later married 70
Thomas Conner and for many years the
couple have lived happily together.
They moved to San Francisco three
years ago, and a year ago were divorced,
after she had learned the place of resi-
dence of her schoolmate lover and the
fact that he was yet unmarried. Soon
after the divorce the lady met her child
hoods lover and wedding was ar
ranged for upon the arrival of Mrs. Con-
nor in Honolulu.
The lady is the possessor of large
properties, mostly located in Muncie,
and her new husband is a rich man.

AMERICA AND ENGLAND.
Two Things That WouId Bring About
An Alliance Between the
Nations Instantly.

Two things would bring about an
Anglo-American alliance instantly. If
combination of European powers
should be formed to crush the United
States-and after the official utterances
of the foreign ministers of Germany
and Austria this is not wholly an ex-
travagant supposition they would
have to crush the British fleet as well.
That this is the view of those at present
responsible for British policy l know,
writes Henry Norman in Cosmopolis.
As | have said elsewhere, we should
never stand by and see a hundred mil
lions Of people who speak English
trampled on by people who speak Rus
sian or French or German. And we
cherish, not as those who have no hope,
the conviction that if the people who
speak Russian and French and German
laid aside for the moment their deadly
rivalries to join in crushing us, beside
the flag Of the three crosses there would
be found on the seas a certain flag Of
stripes, as well as stars"

SWALLOWED A FIRE.
FinneEan Wanted His Internal Com
GaEration Pat Ont as Quickly
as Possible.

One Of the first men to reach San
Francisco with a heard Of Klondike
gold was an Irishman named Finnegan,
who had been very poor before he
struck it rich, and who, consequently,
was unfamiliar with many ordinary
usages Of life Of luxury, says Harper's
Magazine.
''Oi say, yez kin bring me two dozen
eyesters," he said, airily, as he took a
seat in one Of the finest restaurants in
Frisco.
The oysters were soon set before
him, and Finnegan, looking about him
for something to put on them, and
hardly knowing what that something
should be, spied bottle of Tobasco
and proceeded to season the bivalves
not wisely but too well.
Impaling an oyster upon his fork, he
thrust it into his mouth, then leaped
to his feet with terrific roar of pain
and began dancing about and yelling
like mailman.
"See here!" cried the proprietor,
rushing to the table. Keep still, or
I'll put you Quit"
''P-p-put me out, is it? OF wish yez
would put me out" yelled Finnegan.
''Me insides is blazin' loike match

NOT DOING THE WORRYING.
Conditions Under Which q I'artneF
Thinks He Ought TO Put in
More Capital.

II have made discovery" said Mr..
Billtops, in the New York Sun, ''and
that is that there is likely to be some
one person in household that does all
the worrying. There may be Others that
fret, and very likely fret over trihing
things, but the real worrying over
things that have got to be done and got
TO be looked after is usually done by
one person. The person that does the
worrying in my house is Mrs. Billtops.
The children and myself and all hands
lean on her and expect her to do every
thing. l don't know, but 1 sort Of
think that we expect her to provide
things whether we have any money or
not, and she certainly does seem to
make everything come out all right
somehow.
Now, as rule. among men, the
man who does the worrying gets paid
for it. He is usually the man at the
head of an enterprise, or concern, or
department, or whatever it may be.
who is able TO do the work and willing
TO take the care and responsibility of
it. Those under him may pile their
cares up on him, and he shoulders them
many a man-easily. There are,
thank goodness, plenty of men that
don't shy at responsibility.
But these men get paid for what
they do, and Mrs. Billtops does not,
unless she counts my appreciation as
something. The children don't realize
what she does; they expect it. And as
for me, the silent partner. if 1 don't
stand up and take the knocks, l think
l ought at least to put in more capita"

FELL FROM MERRy-co-RouND

Jimmie Hart Meets with an Unfortunate
Accident at Buckeye Park
Jimmie Hart, the fourteen-year.o
son of DR.. and Mrs. Chas. S. Hart, had
a narrow escape Thursday evening
from serious and perhaps fatal acci-
dent. He was riding on the merry-go-
round at Buckeye Parkyand while the
machine was running at full speed at
tempted to change his seat The lad
had just eaten,a a hearty supper and it
is supposed became slightly sick and
dizzy as result Of the circular motion.
He fell to the ground and was caught
under the rapidly moving platform and
severely injured. The merry -go-round
was stopped almost instantly, but not
before the boy had received several
painful cuts and bruises. He was
brought home on the boat as soon as
possible, and an examination disclosed
that he had slight cut under. the eye,
another in the groin. His right leg
from the knee down severely lacerated,
the skin being torn away, and his foot
painfully bruised. His shoe bad evi.
dentjy caught under one of the wheels
of the platform and was jerked off, q
weak shoestring undoubtedly saving
him from more serious injury.
No blame attaches to anyone for the
accident, and all things considered the
boy was most fortunate in esca ping the
loss of limb or perhaps his life.

Marietta People Reason EasiIv and

In former times lniments and plas-
ters sold over all internal remedies, be-
cause people mistook effects for dis
eases, and attacked pain where they
found it. Temporary relief convinced
them they we're right and SO they laid
q return of the pain to a return of the
complaint, when in fact the disease
was there all the time. Backache is
not an aching Of the back, but an ach-
ing OF the kidneys, and remedies must
reach the kidneys and be perfect in
their work at that, before permanent
relief is secured. Doan's Kidney Pills
are perfect in Their work and perma-
nent in their cure. A backache gives
way at once because the kidneys re-
sumo their normal functions and there
is nothing to ache. There is nothing
so hard to combat as the evidence Of

on the subject Of backache are glad
they did because of the cure"

MAY DAY PICNIC.

Rain Interfered somewhat With Attend

The rain Thursday forenoon for a

enthusiasm into those who had con

all kinds. Excepting the unfortunate
accident to Jimmy Hart there was nc
