COLLECTION CHARGE TO STAND.
At Least There Are Strong Intima-
tions That It viii.

The three months probationary per-
iod OF the check-charge rule adopted
by the New York clearing house asso-
citation ended yesterday, and an an
nouncement will be made this after
noon or tomorrow It is expected, as
to whether or not the rule will be made
permanent. on June %, the clearing
house committee held a meeting to
consider the matter and at the con-
cluslon Of the session gave 1t out that
there was little Likelihood of any
change being made in the rule. The
official announcement. however, is yet
to come.
More than twenty large banking
cities, Scranton among them, represent
ing eight different states, have sent In
petitions for a modification of the rule,
but intimations that have been given
out from time to time by the clearing
house committee tend to the belief
that there will be few concessions. The
following from the New YORK COM
mercial Advertiser Is evidently inspired
from official sources:
1t is plain that there will be many dis
appointments. The clearing house COM
mittee will treat every application with
the greatest respect. Each will be con-
sidered. 1t may be stated, however, from
a source entitled to weight, that the rules
will not be materially altered, IL at all.
Perhaps three or four nearby places may
be deemed discretionary in the near fu-
ture, but the clearing house committee
recognize the fact that once they add to
this free list" the number of applicants
for the discretionary" advantages will
be legion. Thus they will go slow, and
it is reasonably safe to predict that when
the three months probationary trial OF
these rules ends on Monday next the pc
titioners will find that 1t has been i'm
possible for the committee to answer
their prayers.
II every agrieved city would follow
the example of Scranton the obnoxious
rule would never get beyond the pro-
bationary period, it is safe to say The
loss in business resulting from the
banks, here, making exchange ar
rangements with Boston, Baltimore,
Chicago, and other places whose leni-
tary was formerly reached through
the New York banks, far exceeds the
returns from the collection charges.
Acting on suggestions of their bank
ers, Scranton merchants having deal
ings in New York, refuse to stand for
the extra charges and the New York
merchants in consequence are making
a vigorous kick against the New York
clearing association, some of them hav-
| ing gone so far as to transfer their
| business to banks not identified with
the association and which do not i'm
| pose the extra charges.

KIDNAPPING CASE.
Mrs. Charles Hayden Took Her
Child from It's Foster Parents
and Went to Philadelphia.
Located by the Police.

Scranton has a kidnapping case. 1t
is peculiar case. 1t is a case wherein
a woman is charged with kidnapping
her eX-daughter.
Four years ago Mrs. Charles Hayden,
of this city, left her home, deserting
her husband and 6-months-old child.
A year later the husbands parents
adopted the little one and had her in
dentured to them by due process of
court.
Three weeks ago the ex-mother-
legally speaking-bobbed up in Scran-
ton, and going to the house of her
father-in-law asked to see the child.
She was granted the privilege, and,
also allowed to take the little one out
for a walk. That is the last that the
foster parents or the father saw Of the
child.
Chief Robling was informed of the
case and asked to assist in bringing
back the child. He succeeded in learn
ing that Mrs. Hayden took q Delaware
and Hudson train to Wilkes-Ba and
thence went to Philadelphia The Phil
adelphia police were called into the
case and about ten days ago Mrs. Hay
den and the child were located in Phil
adelphia. Detective Moir went thither
with a warrant. but upon arriving
found that they had disappeared. The
warrant was left in the hands of Chief
Detective Miller and, yesterday, he
wired Chief Robling that the woman
and child were under arrest. Detective
Moir left at 4.27 yesterday afternoon
to bring them back to Scranton. The
Haydens are not disposed to prosecute
the woman, being satisfied to secure
the return of the child.

Today is the anniversary Of the dec
laration Of independence.
This announcement Is for the infor-
nation of everybody within hearing
distance, excepting the good people Of
Wallsville, who. alone of all the resi-
dents Of this region, have arranged
anything bordering on a fitting cele-
bration Of the nations great day.
Even Minooka, which furnished
man to fire the first gun of every battle
of note in the present unpleasantness,
has nothing scheduled as a patriotic
commemoration more exciting than
contest or two in the national game.
Scranton, which distinguished itself
on every battlefield and in every naval
engagement, is not a whit more ap-
propos. There is no doubling that we
propose to make of 1t a great holiday.
The double teams on the brewery
wagons last night was an earnest Of
this. That we are going to do anything
particularly significant Of the day Is,
however, not in evidence, at least not
up to this writing.
NO GENERAL CELEBRATION.
There are to be family basket pic
MICS and public picnics, excursions to
all nearby resorts, base ball game,
Caledonian games, a balloon ascension,
church festivals and n whole lot of
other things arranged solely for maxi
ing money. but there is to be no parade,
no big fireworks display, no public dem
onstration of any kind. Above all,
there is to be no patriotic speech by
prominent orator at IL o'clock" such
as thoughtful, appropriate. patriotic
Wallsville is to have.
Despite the fact that this is a war
year there was no unusual cannonading
last night. 1t was quite an ordinary
Third Of July night The shopkeepers,
however, report big sale of fireworks
and it may be that will yet be partially
redeemed by the children.
The local weather indications pres
age rain for today but the weather
bureau makes no mention whatever of

at midnight. High temperature" is
about all it essays to guess at.

a good portion of the population will
spend the day on the East Mountain

Thousands, it is safe to say will go to
the always popular Lake Ariel where
Professor Glasgow is to make a balloon

a large crowd as usual, although the

Old California Missions.
Charles +. Lunmis.

The Caucasian history of California turns
back only 1870 years-tho the state was dis
covered sixty years before New England was.
And yet, if New England had anywhere within
ts4,storc limits one building from the last cen
fury so romantic so picturesque, so noble in
architecture, so great an achievement for its
time and circumstance, as an average California
Mission, the English-speaking world would ring
with it's fame; Hawthorne and Whittier and
Longfellow and Holmes would have immorta-
lized it, and millions would make pilgrim
age to it,
Unfortunately for American literature,
"theres no SIGH person." There is not in New
England-nor in the whole United States, east
of Colorado-a single old building remotely to
be compared with the Franciscan Missions, of

Eccentric Tommy Hardware.

For many years Tommy Hardware was the
most eccentric individual III Santa Paula. All
of his several lives passed away few years ago.
He was from earliest recollection the property
of the Santa Paula Hardware Company. He
was born in Adams Canon, on the horse and cat
tie ranch, under very ordinary circumstances,
there being nothing to Indicate that he would
grow to such all extraordinary size or that he
would be possessed OF such remarkable inte-
gence for of his kind. Tommy was taken
down to Santa Paula in sack tied to the sad
die OF one of the cowboys. His eyes had been
open only two or three days and the six mile
ride in a sack was terrible experience 1t is
quite possible that this early shaking up had
some influence in stimulating that intelligence
for which he was aterward SO famous.
What would have become of the Hardware
Company if it had not acquired Tommy and
taken him into partnership, as it were it would
be difficult to predict Certain it is his counsels
saved the Company many thousands OF dollars.
Tommy was great attraction in the store es
pecally on account of his size. He received the
Companys patrons with a grave courtesy and
dignity that made him justly popular, but it was
early noticeable that through some instinct or in
tuitlve FACULTY he seemed to know who were
dead beats, and utterly refused to have anything
to do with them. This trait was so pronounced
and unerring that the clerks were instructed to
introduce all new corners to Tommy and note
his actions before selling the bill of goods Thus
it came to pass that no one could obtain credit
at the store unless Tommy approved.
Perhaps Tommys most singular trait was the
deep interest he took in religious matters. He
was very regular in his attendance at church
both morning and evening. His first appearance
at church created quite sensation. The minis
ter had reached the most pathetic part of his ser
mon when Tommy appeared and climbed upon
the pulpit, sitting beside the bible. This after
ward became his favorite position. He would
sit on the pulpit, gravely facing the audience,
much as to say. II am sure could preach a
better Sermon Tommy was very prominent
in all religious matters and was highly respected
by. the people of Santa Paula. His untiney
death was regretted by all.
