WISHES OF THE THIRTEENTH
Set Forth in a Letter Sent by an
Authorized Committee,

The following self explanatory letter
has been received by The Tribune:
Camp Mack Kenzie, Augusta, Ga, Feb. {.
Editor Of Tribune, Scranton, Pa.
Dear Sir: In Saturdays editions of the
Scranton papers we noticed that the
committee TO prepare n reception for the
homecoming of the Thirteenth was about
to take steps toward having the resi-
ment mustered out in Scranton, Pa, in
stead OF at Camp Mackenzie. The ar
ticle states that the committee believes
there are many disadvantages in haV-
ing the regiment mustered out at Camp
Mackenzie. They probably do not under
stand that if the regiment is mustered
out at Scranton each member will lose
from $50 to $50.
We appreciate tho kindness of our
friends at home in preparing this rocep-
ton Off us, but do not feel like losing
$50 in cash for the sake of a reception.
Hoping the committee will not do any
thing to cause US this loss of transpor-
tation money, we are respectfully yours,
Committee,
For 18th ReCt. Penn. Vol. Int.

BY this time the fire was magnih-
cent as n spectacle, hut terrible in its
destructive power. The flames leaped
from building to building with
hoarse, rasping sound as they threw
off great showers of sparks that went
to great heights and then gracefully
and leisurely descended earthward.
The presence Of heavy coating of
snow on all the roofs OF the vicinity
prevented a number Of small roof fires.
This was blessing, for the firemen
had quite enough to do to handle the
main fire without having their atten-
tion distracted to auxiliarles.

ACROSS THE STREET.

ACROSS THE STREET.
The flames had spread thus far be-
fore the hydrants were thawed out and
Z were practically unchecked. When the
Farr, Cassesse, and Barrowman build
ings were seething masses Of flame, the
heat was intense and the buildings
across the street first blstered, then
smoked and finally burst into flames.
They are owned by Mrs. Mary Pritch-
] ard, of Sayre. and David Williams, and
were quite badly damaged. The Pritck-
ard building is two-story frame struc-
/ ture on stone foundation. The base
ment was occupied by William Pass ag
| a butcher shop and the upper floors by
Mrs Pritchard's sons, Reese and WILL
lam Pritchard.
! The Williams building was a two
story frame structure and had for oc-
cupants the owner and Harry Godshall
and families. Water was secured about
the time the flames had secured a good
hold on these buildings and the fire
men were able to save them from COM
plete destruction.
Before the fire in the Williams build
ing was subdued the Clark block next
door was badly damaged.
The intense heat thrown off by the
burning of the rink caused great de-
struction.
Adjoining the rink on the east and
facing Brown court is a two-story dou-
BILE frame building owned by Henry
Watkins and occupied by William
Bond and Orlando Utter and their
families. The building was totally de-
stroyed but the contents were saved
Adjoining this double building was a
story and one-half building occupied
by Martin l.. Payne and family. 1t was
entirely destroyed.

DESTRUCTION OF CONTENTS.
From the moment the fire broke out
the residents of the vicinity realized
that it was going to be a destructive
one and began to remove their house,
hold effects.
The loss Of all the tenants is con-
siderable for the articles removed from
the houses were in almost every in
stance broken or badly damaged.
At $50 this morning the firemen hat
matters well in hand. There was no
danger of the flames spreading further

Bond.mcn fer Omcials.

The postoffice department now re-
quires its bonded officers to furnish
bonds from security or insurance COM
panies instead of individuals. The
bond of any such company will be ac-
cepted after 1t has submitted its books
and Investments to an examination by
agents of the attorney generals office
and received his sanction, and there
are now five on the list. A sixth COM
pany will probably be added In few
days. Such bonds are preferred to in
dividual securities because they are
always paid without question. Any
security company refusing to make
good loss or defalcation on the part
Of an official whose honesty 1t has in
sured is crossed Off the list, its other
bonds are cancelled and 1t can do no
more business with the government; !;
and boycott by the government is
equivalent to ruin. On the other hand,
individual bondsmen never pay with
out being compelled to by the courts.
and even then 1t is always difficult and
often impossible to collect the judg-
ments.

THE LONELIEST GIRL.

When Marcia Andrews moved TO
Chicago from the country village in
which she had always lived she natur-
ally expected to be little lonely at
hrst. But she just as naturally believ-
ed that the loneliness would not last
long. She had always got quickly ac-
quainted with the few new girls" who
had moved into Bridgeport during her
lifetime. She saw no reason why city
people should take any longer to per-
form like ceremony. And she was
more than ready to meet them half
way,
But the boys and girls who went to
the public school and the Sunday
school which Marcia attended In Chi
tago already knew lots OF other boys
and girls. and. especially as the
stranger entered into the class work
rather late in the term they were quite
fully occupied with their own interests.
So when Marcia had been going to the
hammond school regularly every day
for three months she was very lonely.
They don't mean to be unkind, I
can see that" she told her mother, for
Marcia was as Just as she was sensi-
tive. and intuitively realized the true
reason Of this apparent neglect upon
the part Of her classmates, but they're
all 30 busy and so happy and they
know 30 many people that don't be-
lieve they ever think of strangers at
all. feel as II was just sick for
some other girl to talk to whenever
I'm not studying"
But something happened very soon
after Marcia thus fretted to her mother
which. while 1t deepened her loneli-
ness for time, brought matters out all
right In the end.
Staying late at school one evening,
In order to glance over a book in the
school library. she found. when re-
moving the dust from her fingers aft
erward. beautiful ring lying ON the
edge Of the dressing room basin. She
knew whose ring It was Immediately.
She had often watched the diamond In
Its flashing from the finger Of Evelyn
Gortou. the girl who sat next to her in
school. Girl-like. Marcia, who had
never owned a ring. had often envied
Evelyn the possession of this one. Now
she amused herself for some moments
By slipping It on and OF her own I'm
