Resorts About Old susquehnnna

County.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, Jan. 10.-Anent the
recent statement of the Waymart cor
respondent of the Hancock Herald,
that the Erie was preparing to remove
n portion of its Susquehanna and Port
Jervis shops to Waymart, the Great
Bend Plaindealer felicitously remarks:
1T probably means that Susque-
hanna, together with the shops and
shirt factory, will be removed to Way
mart and become part and portion of
Waymart. We shall all feel badly to
lose Susquehauna but still it would be
too bad to have Waymart people disap-
pointed. so let 'er go. There was time
before the advent of free bridges, milk
routes and the introduction of cleo
tricity that Susuuehanna was an equal
of Great Bend. but soon after the dis
aster playing for the county champion
ship in the baseball field the town be-
gan to gravitate towards the Gravity.
For time the shirt factory with a
promise OF a clean shirt once fort
night, did seem to stay the impending
doom, but. alas. now all is lost. We
extend congratulations to the half
dozen citizens of Waymart."
Comment appears to be unnecessary.
Susquehanna is willing to make any
sort Of a sacrifice. if it will add to the
happiness and general betterment OF
the half dozen citizens Of Waymart"

IN OTHER WORDS.

Sunday schools Just before Christmas,
has already quit two Of them.

An observer of things, noting the
number of women recently arrested for
sending poisoned candy through the
mails, remarks that so far no woman
has been punished for the brand of
cigars she presented to her husband
openly and above board on Christmas.
The man who shoots his girl to make
her love him, and the girl who throws

purpose, should marry him and have it

" The Ragged Earl"

There is little question OF the pop

he makes his appearance in this city
on Saturday afternoon and evening at
the Lyceum in a new romantic play
of life in Ireland. entitled "The Ragged
Earl" and it is fair to predict for him
a crowded house. Mr.. Mack's mama
gers, Rice and Harris, have given him
surroundings to which his cleverness
and popularitw justly entitle him; and
his new play is said 70 provide him
with a star part which fits like the tra-
ditional glove. 1t is a delightful blend
ing of wit, humor and sentiment, a
genuine Irish type. In addition TO the
lighter qualities of the role, 1.-THE Rag
ger Earl" furnishes several powerful
dramatic situations in which Mr.. Mack
Is said To shine to excellent advantage.

LETTER FROM KIPLINo.
Says It Is the Duty of All to Fight
Beers.

London, Oct. ia public meeting
was held at Brighton this evening, un-
der the auspices of the South African
Association in support of the govern
ment. Over 5000 persons were present.
expecting to hear Rudyard Kipling
speak. The chairman, Lord Talbot, at
the outset. read the following letter
from Mr.. Kipling:
I see the papers have generously
credited me with the intention of
speaking at your meeting; but, as |
pointed out when the association did
me the honor to invite me, public
speaking is entirely out of my way.
! need not say l am entirely in SYM
pathy with the object of the meeting.
Their demand, l take it to be, is for
equal rights for all white men from
the cape to the Zambezi, their aim the
establishment of a republic instead Of
oligarchy, and their vindication a new
and regenerate Transvaal, governed
under equal laws formed in open coun-
Gil by free men, neither corrupted nor
coerced, representing every interest In
the land. These things are good and de-
sirable, and l recognize that it is the
duty of each one of US, according to
his abilities, to work towards their at
tainment. With every wish for the
thorough success of the meeting, / am,
yours sincerely, Rudyard Kipling."
The audience greeted the reading of
the letter with hearty cheers.

RUMOR OF BATTLE.
Said That White Met
the Beers Near
Mafeking.
ADVANCE FROM LADYSMITH.
Cecil Rhodes Had a Mar
row Escape From
Capture.
ADVANCE FROM LADYSMITH.

London, Oct. 14.-An Edinburgh pa
per, the Scotsman, this morning asserts
that battle has been engaged in be-
tween Sir George Stewart White, COM
manding the forces in Natal, and the
Beers who entered Natal by way of
Vanreman's pass. Gen. White, the
| Scotsman says, is very sanguine of the
success Of the British movement.
The foregoing report is considered to
be correct, as late last night the war
office had news of a British advance
from Ladysrnith and was hourly ex-
pecting further intelligence A dispatch
to the Daily Telegram from it's CORES
pendent at Ladysmith dated at noon on
Friday says; "A strong column under
Gen. White, accompanied by Gen. Sir
Archibald Hunter, proceeded before
daybreak this morning towards Acton
homes for the purpose of reconnoiter-
ing, Gen. Whites object was to observe
what was going on and also to test the
efficiency Of his forces"
Gen. White had IL guns and the Roers
H.
The Daily Mails Cape Town cores
ponoent telegraphing Friday evening
says: Il learn on good authority that
the Beers are attacking Mafeking. They
are reported to have already suffered
several repulses. 1t is generally admit
TED that Vryburg cannot stand strong
Boer attack"
According to the Daily Nails Cape
Town correspondent, Mr.. Scheiner, pre-
n
support the imperial government. His
previous reserve was dictated by the
desire not to drive the extreme Dutch
residents to excuses.
Evart Grobler, member of the volks-
Rad for Philipolis has been elected
commandant general of the Free State
forces He is only IS years of age, is
well educated, and was Free State oels-
gate to the Chicago exhibition. Ii is an
interesting fact that Lord Edward Co
Gill; son or the Marquis of Salisbury, is
with Col. Baden-Powe at Mafeking.
According to the Kimberly corr espon-
dent of the Daily Telegraph. Cecil
Rhodes had narrow escape frorl cap
ture While on his way here His train
was delayed, and he passed the Modder
river three hours after the expiration of
the ultimatum when the Beers were
only five miles distant, and some of
eAtCAA SPACS WCIE ACTUALLY on the dat
FORM. Mr.. Rhodes lay low anci was
not recognized. Had he been, HIS cau-
ture would have been easy, as the line
was not defended
He believes the strength of the enemy
is greatly exaggerated. The chief cause
of anxiety is ignorance of their artillery
strength. The correspondent saws:
Trustworthy Information shows that
the Orange Free State has half its
available force, viz, 10000 men. seal
tered along the extensive western Dor
der between the Baal and Orange riy-
ers. The strategy displayed in their
present disposition is crude.
The Daily Nails correspond mt at
Dundee, Natal, says: Reports are cir
culated here that the Beers have
reached New Castle, but no conf1rma-
tions of either this or Of fighting al
Mafeking and Ladysmith are yet ar
irving.

PUSHING PIERCE.
Labor Men Want Him to Be Labor's
Alderman.

Labor Men Want Him TO Be Labor's
Alderman.
Members of local labor organizations
are presenting Jefferson D. Pierce's
name among the possible candidates
for municipal office. Mr.. Pierce will
probably be selected as the representa-
tive of the labor forces in the candi-
dates for the board of aldermen. Two
years ago Mr.. Pierce was candidate
for alderman on the democratic ticket
and polled the fourth largest number
of votes on the ticket.
Last night Mr. Pierce, who is presI-
dent of the Central Labor union, and
formerly president of the state branch,
American Federation of Labor, said
that ne had not decided whether to en-
ter the field or not. Among local labor
leaders it is believed that the chances
OF electing labor candidates were never
better than at present, because of the
stir caused by the refusal of the alder
men to grant citizens a chance of vot-
ing on the eight-hour law. 1t is also
believed that if voting members of la
Dor organisations would cast their
ballots for the friend of organized la
Dor. irrespective of party principles, the
local unions would have champion in
the aldermanic chamber.
At the meeting of the Workingmens
Independent Political Club, Wednes-
day evening. candidates for the COM
mon council and a candidate for the
board of aldermen at large, probably
Mr.. Pierce, will be chosen. Every ward
in the city is being canvassed for can
didates for the common council to rep
resent labor organizations. Advocacy
0f tho pal1Sa IF tr1da l1OiOOicY71 will 70
suit in the selection of candidates,
whether the men be democrats or re-
publicans, socialists, populists or pro-
hibitionsts.
