Practical Economy.

During his recent brief outing in the
Vatican gardens Leo XIII came across
an assistant gardener who was dig
ging the soil. His holiness is always
anxious to study under it's practical
aspect the problem of just remunera-
ton for the workman. a subject on
which in more than one encyclical he
has developed broad-minded theories,
says the London Daily Chronicle.
my good man." he said to the gar
dener, chow much do you receive

1.-TWO francs, your Holiness" was
the reply.
The pontiff mused awhile.
"And how many children have you?'
"None, your Holiness
"And does your wife also work for
her livelihood"
Holy Father" said the laborer, "I
have never been married"
once more the pontiff paused in re-
fieCtion,
"Then, my good man." he said, II

henceforward instead of two francs a

SOUTH SCRANTON.

One of the features OF the glorious
Fourth was the exciting clash that oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon between
the Century and Neptune hose COM
panies. 1t proved to be one of the sem
sations of the day, and was the topic
Of gossip last night. When the alarm
of fire was sounded from box 81,
caused by blaze at the Weichel prop
erty on Hickory street, the Century's
whose quarters are not q block away,
reached the scene first and hada stream
on when the Neptune's arrived. 1t is
alleged that the Neptunes turned on
a stream and acting under directions
from Constable Woelkers, foreman of
that company. the men at the nozzle
turned the water on the Century men
who were on d ladder and fighting the
flames. This caused a general row.
Ex- Chief Hickey said many and point
ed things to Woelkers and to Peter
Robling, jr.. who is acting district
chief. A fistic encounter was narrowly
aveTted.
John Medler, Of Cedar avenue, was
thrown from his bicycle yesterday near
his home and received several cuts and
bruises about his head and face. DR..
Kalb attended him.
John schunk, of Pittston avenue, and
Robert Burditt, of Cedar avenue, spent

New York, July 4.-The Fourth OF
July was celebrated here under glor-
ious weather conditions, with much
noise, merrymaking, profuslon of
flags and excursions and sports of all
kinds. Tammany Hail celebrated with
formal exercises in the wigwam. Jo-
seph ]. Wllett, president of the Ala
bama Bar Association, made the ora
tlon of the day.
Mr.. Wlllett's references to trusts
were the occasion of outbursts OF
cheering by his audience. Mention of
the name OF William j. Bryan also
brought out burst of applause.
Just before the close of the speech,
Mr. Willett diverged from the speech
as given out and said:
Il see that General Alger Is running
for senator from Michigan on anti
trust platform. Isn't that rich? Alger,
the friend of M..rk Hanna, OF Armour,
of Eagan, running on an antitrust
platform"
General Wheeler regretted his alb
sence from the Tammany celebration
in letter which was read.
EX-Governor Hogg, of Texas, was re-
sponsible for the sensation of the day.
I'VE Democrats will go to the next
convention" he said, advocating as
before. the unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to l." There
was loud cheering at this. EX-Gov-
ernor Hogg said Democrats in 1900
would denounce trusts, favor the in
come tax, the granting of Cuban inde-
pendence, and the construction and
malntenace of the Nicaragua canal,
| and denounce imperialism and govern
ment by injunction.
with these principles we will go In
| to battle confident of victory" he de-
| clared. But we want the support OF
! Tammany, the greatest OF all local
! political organizations. And above all
! we want to go into the fight under the
! leadership of William J. Bryan"
AS Ex-Governor HoGg uttered the
name Of Mr. Bryan the cheering was
| deafening and continued. During a
| Slight lull, somebody proposed a cheer
for Van Wyck. but the crowd failed to
take it up.
He was followed by eX-Congressman
Asher G. Caruth, of Kentucky, who
spoke against imperialism and de-
nounced the many trusts now in ex-
istence. He held the Republican party
responsible for the trusts.
| Among the other speakers were
| James ID. Richardson, of Tennessee;
| Norman T.. Mack, of Buffalo; Thomas
F.. Grady, of this city: James w, Ridg-
nay, of Brooklyn; William E. Gourley,
of New Jersey; A. CASTOR, of Pennsyl-
vania, and c. Vey Holman, of Maine.
There was the usual musical pro-
gramme by the SiXty-ninth regiment
band and the Tammany Hall Glee club.
The following cable dispatch from
Richard Croker, who is in London, was
| read
Congratulations on the glorious Fourth,
the day we celebrate. My heart is with
YOU always Let us rejoice over the
coming triumph Of Democracy and the
peoples rights.

DUNMORE.

William Griffin, of Electric avenue,
and Edward Walsh, Of Bloom street,
two lads about II years of age, were
severely burned about the face yester-
day The boys had a large quantity
of powder and were enjoying them
selves setting it off. Once the powder
refused to burn and upon relighting
it the powder blazed up and caught
the boys full in the face Young
Walsh received the worse burns, his
face being literally roasted. A doctor
was required to dress the wounds.
This was the only accident of any
kind resulting from fire works during
the day, except slight burns to the
fingers, caused by holding the fire
crackers too long in the hand.
1t required fifty-eight passenger cars
to convey the crowd to Lake Ariel

A COMMENTED MARINE.
The Life, the Duty and the Pay That
Will Induce Him to Enlist Again.

VIII Induce Him TO cullSL hSdlh'
From the Savannah (GaD News. -.
Corporal AlmOn Bogardus, OF the
United states Marine corps, is on his
way home with his discharge papers
in his pocket after five years SER
vice, and something over $3.50 in money
OF this, s65 was money allowed MN
for travelling expenses to Annapolis,
where he enlisted. Some $40 was COM
ing to him out of the clothing fund,
he not having drawn out his full allot-
ment of clothing during the years he
has been in the service. Forty-eight
dollars represented the amount Kept
back from his pay the first year he
was in the corps, a practice which was
then abolished. Other items, such as
interest and accounts allowed him by
the department footed up thS total
mentioned.
From what the corporal says the ma
rine is a pretty well cared for man
when he is serving this country. He
Is paid SIS a month for the first three
years, his wages then being increased
a dollar a month each year, giving him
$1S a month in the fifth year. When
this term of enlistment expires he is
entitled to three months furlough.
That is, he gets his discharge papers,
and IL before three months have eX-
pired he re-enlists he starts off at the
same rate of pay he was getting when
discharged and is given three months
pay and the regular allowances for
that time
st think I will be back in the service
when my time is up" said the cor
poraI. "I was anxious for my dis
charge to come, but am beginning to
feel lonely already. Five years asso-
citation with a large body of men and
life on a ship and in barracks gives
a man liking for the corps that he
is not really aware of until he tries
to break away from 1t, There Is lots
of hard work in the duties of a ma
rine, but, take II all tine way through,
| it is not such a tough job. Some peo-
pie seem to thing that n marine ONLY
| does a sort of police duty on ship;
| that he handles rifle and nothing else.
But that is a mistake. The marine
must be up in the use OF the Gatling
| and otheT rapid fire guns and is trained
| in the handling of the main battery of
the ship, in addition to being thor
| oughly drilled in the use OF the small
| arm. He is much more valuable man
on bourd ship than to merely act as
| a policeman over the sailors, as so
many people regard him.
"In time OF war the marine has a
doubly dangerous life. In addition t.
his work on ship he makes up tht
landing parties and, as has been shown
in Cuba, he IL generally a pretty good
fighter on land, as well as at sea. A
man who does his duty and tries tc
give satisfaction is encouraged and has
a fair sort of life. The grub at sea
at times is not any too good, but wher
on land he gets pretty good fare. Eact
marine is allowed 50 month for ra'
tions, and, as the mess is generally
made up of eighteen or twenty, ii Is
possible with care TO give a reasonably
good fare. OF course, since the wal
broke out II has not been as good al
in time OF peace, but that was to b'
expected"
Corporal Bogardus served some tim,
on the maine. His last vessel was tn,
Lancaster.

TWO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.

machine was wrecked.
Alma Geeley, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter NJ. Geelye. OF South Bromley
avenue, was handling some fire crack
ers yesterday, when one exploded in
her hand striking her in the face. One
OF her eyes was badly injured and the
other was also effected. Her face was
seriously burned by the explosion and
the accident may result in the loss of
her eyesight. DR.. Eugene Heermans

A certain incident connected with the
great Napoleon, while he was in exile
in Elba, is commemorated in the is
land, to this hour, by an inscription af-
fixed to the wall of a peasants house.
A man named Giaconi was plowins
when the famous exile came along one
day, and expressed an interest in his
work. Napoleon even took the plow-
share out of the mans hand, and at
tempted to guide 1t himself. But the
oxen refused to obey him, overturned
the plow and spoiled the furrow.
The inscription runs thus
Napoleon the Great, passing by this
place in MDCCXIV, took in the neigh
boring field a plowshare from the
hands of a peasant and himself tried to
plow but the oxen. rebellious to those
hands which yet had guided Europe,
headlong fied from the furrow."

them had been combed to a smoothness
and glossiness that suggested hair oil.
One of the party, whose patriotism
could not be questioned, but whose
sense of humor was very green, said in
an aside way to MIR. Hamlin, waving
her hands toward the sleek heads be-
fore her,
There must have been plenty Of
bears grease in the hospital stores to-
day."
Don't" said Mr.. Hamlin, earnestly,
a panied expression coming over his
face. Don't, please. L honor every
hair of their heads. Let us not make
fun of them" This great-hearted man
enjoyed joke, but he would never al
low any remark that could possibly be
construed as containing the slightest
disrespect to be directed against the
boys who wore the blue.

MUNMIES IN ITALY.
Most Interesting Specimens to Be
Found at Palermo and Rome.

From the Scientific American.
The ylcissitudes of the dead would
furnish material for an interesting ana
grewsome volume. We are, OF course,
not surprised when we see an Egyptian
mummy, but 1t is very extraordinary
that during the middle ages and the
renaissance a species Of mummification
was also adopted in Italy, and even
continues TO this day The two most
curious examples of this are the ceme-
terry of the Capuchins, in Rome, and
the catacombs Of the Capuchins, at
Palermo. IN the latter place, we be-
lieve, bodies are still added; though
probably not in the Roman Capuchin
cemetery as intra-mural interments
are forbidden in Rome even to
popes. The catacOmbs of the
