another that she was ignorant. So l
asked the great ladies how many of
their friends were not delicate, or lazy,
or ignorant, and If they knew any of
them who would make good mattresses.
But they said no, that they were the
upper classes and did not need to be so
good as common people. So l said to

said, "Good evening, your honor"
which was very respectful, so l talked
with her. She is IS years old, does not
drink: her husband is SOBER too: he is
30, quite young man, she said; he was
a Waterman, and got the rheumatism:
now he could only watch in houses: he
could give good references, so when
they had a house to take care of in the
summer they did it nicely, but they had
never been able to save anything. She
did not look as though she spent
money on dress, but | suppose she
could not have been economical, other

who gets it I'VE manage such things at
bazaars will give it back again. and the
young ladies will laugh. and kiss the
roses and sell them to him at 81 apiece,
and there will be Il great deal of fun

money thereby to carry on the work of

old sermon that was-all that about
''Inasmuch as We did it not unto one of

be able to explain to the Lord that the
"brethren" he meant must have been
tramps, at the least, or they would not
have got into prison: they must have
been lazy. For Mr.. Carnegie who

DEAR CHILDREN
Mrs. Gray Spider has sent letter
this week to Mrs. Gilman, ever so far
away in Virginia, and Mrs. Gilman
has sent it to US. This is Virginia
Gray Spider, but l guess the Wash
ington Gray Spiders, and all the
other colored spiders, feel much the
same way, if they could tell us about
it.
Virginia, Aug. 10, 1898.
Dear Little Folks:
| have been reading the letters of
Dorothy Whitefoot and Black Fly,
and just fairly ache to tell you
children out in Washington all about
myself.
l am very old gray spider, and
have always lived in a little cottage
on Il farm in Virginia. When l was
just little bit of a spider, was
playing tag one day with my sister,
and ran down my rope right onto a
lady's nose.
Well, was frightened almost to
death when Il great, big hand brush
ed me off, and l fell on to a pape-.
was sure l should be killed, but l
heard voice say:
run away: l won't hurt you"
Then l saw that what had seemed
to me in my fright, to be great, big
hand, was not big at all. but just large
enough and soft enough and gentle
enough not to hurt little spider.
thought would crawl up to the
hand and feel of it. | climbed on to
one of the fingers, aud the voice
said:
Il told you to run away: l won't
hurt you, but if you don't 80 away
shall put you out of doors" So I just
scampered off to find my sister.
After that would run down from
my home behind a picture every time
my friend sat down to read, and She
got 50 She expected me, and would
say;
well, old fellow, here you are"
One day a man was there when
came down, and he said
see that ugly spider on the wall:
let me kill it." But my friend spoke
up quickly and said;
Don't touch my spider: If you
would study.the little fellows you
would not call them ugly: they are
wonderful insects just think of
their many eyes all over their little
bodies, and the beautiful silken houses
they make"
Yes. but sometimes they bite. and
poison people said the man.
We'll" my friend answered, so I
have heard. but never kill a spider.
and have never been bitten by one.
This little fellow is company for me.

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-03-15

A serious accident occurred on
Stone avenue yesterday at $3.50 o'clock.
August Wylander and his wife, of
Clarks Summit, were driving along the
avenue, and at the intersection of
Beech street is a gutter exceedingly
deep, made so by the streams that come
from the hill above. The vehicle, in
passing over the gutter, sank into 1t.
Mr. Wylander pulled the reins to avoid
the ditch and the animals became
frightened and made a dash, throwing
Wylander out and at maddened rate
the horses ran down Stone avenue. At
the corner of Maple street the wagon
was upset and Mrs. Wylander thrown
against the curb.
James Sullivan, a bystander, caught
the team and several women took the
injured woman into Swick's saloon,
where stimulants were given to her.
Doctor Benin was sent for and he eX-
amined the woman, and then tele-
phOned for the Lackawanna hospital
ambulance. Mrs. Wylander was taken
to that institution and 1t was found
that she was suffering from a broken
arm and internal injuries.

ARE TO RESUME.

The literary and Debating society of
St. Brenden council, No. 24S, Young
Mems Institute, will take on a new
lease of life when it begins the regular
work after Lent. The society has done
but little along it's intended lines for
some months past. Partly because of
the series of debates between the sew
eral councils of the institute in the
city being carried on, and partly be-
cause of the departure of their spon-
sor Rev. p. J. McNally, to a new field
of labor at Georgetown, Pa.
Recently, however the society ask
ed Rev. A. Il. Broderick, who succeed
ed Rev. p. ]. McNally at st. Patrick s
church, to take his place as sponsor to
the society. Father BrodericK did so
and plans preliminary in nature were
outlined for the future work at a re-
cent meeting. The debates VIII. not,
as formerly, be the principal part of
each evenings programme, more at
tention being paid to the literary part
thereof, hereafter. The meetings will
probably be held once a week or often
er instead of every two weeks as hith-
erto. A progressive plan of literary
study calculated to be educational in
form, will be arranged and carried out.
!, These are but the bare ideas from
which the future course of the society
will be laid out, but they are sufficient
to indicate that some good results can
be expected. The next meeting will
probably be held sometime this week.

The North Main Avenue Baptist
church congregation took definite ac-
tion last evening on the question or
erecting a new church. The invita-
tion for those comprising the congrega-
tion TO be present last evening at the
meeting met with hearty response
and the edflce was crowded. The
meeting was called to order and the
Rev. w. G. Watkins was chosen as
moderator. The ways and means com
mittee. through it's secretary, Mr..
Rowles, made a report to the erect
that William Chappell had been select
ed to wait upon Michael Hannick, the
owner of the vacant lot, on the corner
of North Main avenue and Oak street,
which is generally considered the best
of all available lots.
The lot has a frontage of 10 feet on
North Main avenue, and 1872 feet on
Oak street. The price of this piece of
property is $500. The matter of pur-
chasing the property was laid before
the congregation for their sanction,
and after a brief deliberation it was
unanimously agreed that they should
proceed at once to secure 1t, as Mr..
Hannick gave them only today to close
the deal. It is probable that the prop
erty will be secured by this evening.
A price has not been placed upon the
present church, but in all likelihood
it will be disposed Of at $4,000.
1t will take considerable time before
the new church will be erected.
