What a New York Writer
 Says of Miss Mary Johnston

A writer in the New York Times speaks thus of Miss Mary Johnston and her posi- tion in the literary world:
 How many times within the century nay. within it's last quarter-has the world of letters seen a foremost place taken oy an author coming from some Nazareth whence nothing was expected ana bringing sheaves reaped in home fields richer ana more beautiful than any standing oroery in the public lands their growth watched and known from blade to ear? The answer would be a recitation of the names or the most brilliant and original of general his- torians of the sailor who has gwen the navy it's proper place in the conception ei human activity; the studious youth who sounded the depths of ward and state poll tical corruption; the quiet banker whose dying fingers clung to his pen until ne hao conuuered a competence for his dear ones; the boy who, quietly assuming the man burden of independence, made himself, all unaided a world power with which rulers and rebels must reckon. One and all have been unexpected and unheraided, none more completely than Miss Mary Johnston, whose first book came to Messrs Tough
 
 with no introduction but it's own merit.
 After telling the interesting story of her young life in her Virginia home, he adds
 Thus equipped, it is not strange that her book and To Have and to Hold her story now published in The Atlantic, should be both strong and finished, for she had had nothing to unlearn; she had not been com pelled to expend her powers upon the avoidance of trivially acquired by contact with the lower forms of literature, and she had no mission and no views Life, she has just said in her Atlantic story, is like one of those endless Italian corridors, painted, picture after picture, by master hand and man is the traveller through it, taking his eyes from one scene but to rest them upon another. Some remain blur In his mind; some he remembers not; for some he has but to close his eyes and he sees them again. line for line, tint for tint, the whole spirit of the piece. The true author, the artifex, sees all the pictures in the lives of his characters with this same vision of the Claude Lorraine glass; and can place it before the duer eyes of the multitude in such words to make them fancy that they, too, have the gift. Such an author Miss Johnston is proving herself to be-

APPLAUDED MR.. DICKSON.


d. B. ATHERTON.
Secretary.
APPLAUDED Mr.. DICKSON.
President Kellers reference TO the
twenty-one years of faithful service
given the board by A. w. Dickson as
treasurer and in other capacities, was
not lost upon the members. When Mr..
Dickson had finished reading his re-
port, which appears in summary in
Secretary Atherton's report, he was ac-
corded warm applause.
Treasurer Dickson supplemented his
report with statement that during
his twenty-one years as treasurer he
had received $61, ,499.19 and paid out
$61.OlS.51. He said:
In presenting my report for the past
year, and at the close of my twenty
first year as your treasurer / desire to
most sincerely thank you for the honor
done me during all the changes of ld-
ministration since January, 1878
The care OF your finances has been a
burden easily borne because of the kind
ness of your presidents and the efficient
cooperation of the gentlemen who dur
Ing these many years have filled the Of
flee of secretary OF the board.
Since you first elected me to office you
have enjoyed the leadership OF nine of
our most progressive and public spirit
ed citizens. to wit: Hon. Lewis Pughe,
William T. Smith, Thomas II. Dale Col
onel John a. Price, Colonel Henry NJ.
Boies, Hon. William Connell, j. NJ. KEN
merer Captain w. A. May and Luther
Keller.
Several of these gentlemen nave served
for more than one term and all have
brought to the office OF president the
energy, faithfuness and efficiency which
have contributed to their personal pros
perity and made them honored and SUBJ
Stantial citizens of Scranton.
Three of them have been called away
from us by death, and this board and
our city have alike suffered loss thereby.
All honor to those who have given of
their time and means and thoughtful
care to lead in honest effort for the
advancement of our goodly city.
During the past twenty-one years we
have had the services Of six secretaries:
A. ID. Holland, l. +. Fuller, r. w. Luce.
j. II. Fisher. II. A. kingsbury and the
present secretary, d. II. Atherton. One
of these, Mr.. Luce, after many yeas
service. has laid down his armor and
gone to his rest.
All have done efficient work and some
times under real difficulties. My re-
lations to them have been always pleas
ant, and each one has done his part to-
wards making the position of treasurer
an easy one.
1t is only right to say that the present
secretary, Mr.. AthertOn, has manifested
always such energy and faithful atten-
tion to his duties: such painstaking in
| terest in the welfare of the board, and
such genial good temper under all cir
cumstances, that business with him has
been only pleasure.
