A NATIVE OF WILKES. BARRE.
Gottfried Wants Damages from the
Peruvian Government.

Edward Gottfrled, consular agent
for the United States in the district
of Trujido, Peru, who has filed Il
claim of 100000 damages against the
Peruvian government through the
state department at Washington, is a
native of Wilkes Barre.
He went to Peru twenty years ago
and entered business. He became
wealthy. During the rebellion of 1898
the rebels attacked his property and
when he attempted to defend it he
was taken to the public square of the
town, strung up by the thumbs and
otherwise maltrcated. He still suf-
fers from his injuries.
The Preuvian government has set
up the plea that Gottfred's claim is
not a valid one, as foreigners were on
the same footing as natives during the
rebellion.

evening in the Grace Reformed church

volunteer uniform which is remarkab-
ly appropriate and tasty. The skirt is
grey and the waist, which is simply

shade. The hats are however, the
most charming feature of the costume.
They are round and are striped grey
and white. They are worn way back
on the head, allowing the hair to be
rolled upwards, producing very at
tractive appearance.
Mrs. Anderson, who is a dainty and
charming little woman possessed CT a
remarkably sweet voice, sang several
selections accompanying herself on the
guitar.

the good features of the Salvation

work in this country in the ranks of the
Salvation army, he became convinced
that instead of firmly taking hold up
on the minds of the people it was de-
teriorating. This, he said. was large
