SKETCH OF COLONEL ARTHUR LONG
IL Appeared in ednCsday's Issue OF
The DethIehem Times.

The Bethlehem Times of Wednesday
in connection with its report of the
commencement exercises at Lchigh uni
Versity, prints the following sketch of
Colonel Arthur Long:
Arthur Long, who presented to Lchigh
university the flag that waves over its
campus today, is probably one of the
most widely known of Lchigh's Eraduu,"s
through his connection with the big m.r-
camille establishments OF Jonas Longs
Sons, located at Wilkes Barre and SClan-
ton. The latter was opened in DCComuac
last and is one Of the most modern Stru"-
lures Of its kind i'm tho state. OF this Mr..
Ions is resident partner.
Mr., Long was a member Of the class Of
SO, and while industrious in the pursuit
of his studies, graduating with honors,
he found time TO devote to his fayurlte
pastime-foot ball-and did ycoman sor-
vice on the college eleven during his
years here.
Perhaps no characteristic of Mr.. Long :
is stronger than that which aililiates wiki
the memory Of his college days, and his
interest in the pcTpetuation of the alumni.
Even now, when business is supposed to
bide ones time without the earnest
thought Of early training, he dcyotes
much attention to alumni matters, being
president OF the Lehigh University
Alumni association of Northeastern Penn
sylvania and vice president OF the Uni
verslty General Alumni association.
In politics Mr.. Long is "A Republican,
having been a delegate to the convention
which nominated President Mckinley and
an aide on the stan of Grand Marshal
Warner at the presidents Inauguration,
where ne was given the title of colonel
which name still cllngs to him among his
friends.
Mr.. Long conceived the idea of pre-
senting to the university a national em-
blem. presenting the suggestion TO the
Alumni association which offered 10 CO.

Judge Edwards heard testimony yes
terday afternoon in five divorce cases.
Attorney NJ J. MCAndrcw was the
stenographcr.
Attorney Gilroy appeared for Elias
]. Hendrickson, who seeks a divorce
from Mary T.. Hendrickson. They were
married in 1890 by Rev. Warren G.
Partridge and made their home on
Penn avenue and later in Kressler
court. They se~arated a few months
ago. The action for divorce is on the
ground of unfaithfuness. Hcndrick-
son has no positive evidence that she
was not true to him.
About three years ago he noticed
that she used to wear dresses and hats
of a style beyond his means, and that
made him suspicious. She often re-
maincd away from home all day and
far into the night, and on two occa-
sions she stayed out all night She
was addicted to the use OF intoxicat-
ing liquors in large quantities.
DID NOT LIKE PECKVILLE.
Lester f. Bassell of Peckville, seeks
a divorce from Mary +. Bassell. At
tOrney joseph L. Brown represented
him. The couple were married at Una
dilla, n. Y, on June II, 1884, and after
a few years they came to Peckvillc to
live. From the very beginning she did
not like Peckville and she informed
her husband that he must go back to
Unadilla or she would not live with
him any longer He would not go to
Tnadilla. and she went. lie tried to
persuade her TO return to live with
him but she would not listen to it.
Mr.. Brown appeared also for John
Gates, who wants a divorce from Anna
Maria Gates. They We're married in
England in January. 1881. They came
to this country and took up their resi-
dence in this city. Gates was all that
a good faithful husband could be and
his every care was for her comfort.
They had nice home, but neverthe-
less on October "a, 1894, she told him
she was tired of married life and de-
serted him.
Rosa DObson wants separation from
William DObSon. She was represented
| by Attorney NJ. j. Martin. They were
married at Yostvlle on July 3, 1SSS.
| They lived there five years and spent
| the time since then in Moscow and this
! city. She testified that he abused her

The navy board then called mis- stten-
