POLES DO HONOR TO
COL. MILKOWSKI
Patriotic Celebration Given for Him
Last Night in South Scranton,
Followed by Banquet.

The reception accorded Colonel Ziees-
mund Mllkowski, of Zurich, Switzer-
land, the veteran of the Polish Revolu-
tion of 1863 now on a tour through
this country, in the Polish hall, Pitts
ton avenue and Elm street, last even
ing, was grand tribute to a grand
old man, and it touched the old colonel
deeply.
AT o'clock a large delegation rep
resenting the Polish societies of North
eastern Pennsylvania, headed by Law
renee band, escorted the colonel from
the Hotel Terrace to the hall on Pitts
ton avenue, which was beautifully
decorated with American and Polish
flags intertwined. AS they reached the
hall, the old warrior was greeted with
a perfect storm of applause, which he
acknowledged with a kindly nod and
friendly wave of the hand. In the hall
way, on either side, were fifty little
girls in white, and as the colonel en-
tered the hall the girls sang the Polish
national anthem, and presented him
with bouquets. On a raised platform
sat the speakers for the occasion, who
were John Mondrach, Rev. Francis
Hodur, John Kucki, S. A. Dangel,
William Klareger and William Pazz-
koWski. The president, John Kucki,
of Nanticoke, called the meeting to
order, and welcomed their distin-
guished guest, to which Colonel Mil
kowski responded. He was greeted
time and again with cheers as he spoke
of the stirring times in 1863, and en-
| couraged the people to prove good citi-
zens in the land Of their adoption. The
| Brothers Reszke choir, of Nanticoke
| rendered a selection, after which the
Polish national anthem was sung with
much enthusiasm. Rev. Hodur, John
| Mondrach and several others also fol-
| lowed with short addresses, after
which there were songs and recita-
| tiOns.
After the reception a banquet was
! rendered the colonel at Hotel Terrace
Colonel Milkowski is a well-preserved
! gentleman, aged seventy-seven years
and is not only distinguished officer
| but an author of several standard
| Polish works. He is at present presi.
dent of the national treasury of Swift.
zerland
The colonel, when seen by a reporter
yesterday, expressed the belief thai
Poland some day would be free, not by
war but freed by diplomacy. He leaves
this morning for Buffalo, from wher,
he will proceed to Chicago. He wa.
very favorably impressed with the re-
ception accorded him, and of the en-
lightened condition of the Poles In thi
| country.

"First-Health. The homes of the
laboring man now are homes, not huts
and novels. The people worst off in
life are those who have nothing to do.
Second--In labor there is the profit
of happiness Labor gives the flush
of health and sublime happiness to all
who pursue it.
"Third-There Is the profit of honor.
In these days when a mans hand is
soft it is considered almost mark of
dishonor. When the slaves were
emancipated there were more than the
black man set at liberty, for the own
er was liberated, freed from himself.
On the day when Sambo could go up
to his former master and ask for
wages for his work. on that day was
his old owner liberated from dishonor.
Jesus, son of Joseph, the carpenter,
and of God, was a laborer. He was
not one who would live on his father
money and dwell in idleness.
THE HALL OF FAME.
1--WE hear good deal about the
Hall of Fame. Well tomorrow the
republic will unite in honoring one
who has a right in the Hall of Fame.
His name is Labor, King Work; King
only in America, where he is raised on
high.
"A modern author in a novel makes
the statement that "only in America
is labor so theoretically admired and
practically despised by the snob." But
it is only the American snob. The
country admires and loves labor. And
now let us do our utmost to put the
laurel wreath on the brow of labor,
not for the day only, but forever"

HowEI1s WAS HELD IN BAIL
Scranton Man Given a Hearing at
Wilkes Barre.

WllhtS-odIlcs
The hearing in the case of w. II.
Howells, of this city, charged with
forgery, was held before Alderman
Donohue, at Wilkes-Barre Saturday
morning. Howels Is charged by the,
Lydia Il. Plnkham Medical company
with initiating their goods and selling
them under the false pretenses. Drug
gist w. ID. White testified that How
ellis came to his place Of business, and
represented himself as a manufac-
turer of patent medicines, with an office
in Scranton. He said he manufactured
different kinds of patent medicines,
and in going about the county would
exchange with other drug firms for the
Pinkham compound and the Peruna
medicines. Mr.. White purchased some
goods from him, but his customers
complained that they were not the
genuine article. He therefore laid
them aside and sold no more. Mt.
White offered n bottle in evidence.
w. f. Campbell, proprietor of a drug
store on West Market street, identi-
fed Howells as the man who went to
his store and said he represented the
Mary Williams Medical company. Of
Scranton. He told about the same
story as White.
Mr.. McKennon, an employe OF the
Pinkham company, showed the differ
ence between the genuine and coun-
terfeit medicine.
William Hershey, of Columbus. Ohio,
an attorney, testified that Howells was
from Columbus. He was partner with
man named Quackenbush. After he
left that city his partner was detected
in the act of forging the circulars and
wrappers of the Pinkham company.
Plates and dies were also found in the
| house. The defense offered no evil
| dence. Howells was held for court
under $500 bail. He was taken to jail

A NEW FROG PUT IN.
Improvement at the West Lacka-
wanna Avenue Crossing.

Improvement at the West Lacka-
wanna Avenue Crossing.
A force of men was engaged yester-
day replacing the frog at the West
Lackawanna avenue railr1a crossing.
1t was necessary to transfer passen-
gers yesterday at the crossing on ac-
count of the changes being made.
Cars will be running as usual today.
For some time the street railwey
tracks have been in bad shape, owing
ITO .the heavy traffic and constant
wear and tear on them, but 1t is ex-
pected the difficulty of crossing the
Lackawanua railroad tracks will be
greatly lessened by the present
change.
Heavy rails have been substituted
for the lighter ones, and better con-
nections have been made. The re-
pairs will make passage over the
rails much easier for the trolley cars
and render the crossing less danger

Face About!

There is no guess.work about the fu-
ture condition of that man, who shall
have determined on a course of SAVING
once a start is made Two words tell the
story:-Saye, and Have.
To save, is to haye-to have something
substantial in an hour Of real need; for
such hours are often reached in every
mans life. That man who never expects
to see a day Of want, is a man without
ambition; and society has but little use
for him. But the hopeful man--the striv-
ing man is certain to come out on top OF
all difficulty,
Never mind the past-face about Quit
being a spender and become a saver
There's no telling what the change Of
habits will do for you. And wen show
you how to begin--its easy.

Rev. N. F. Stahl, of Delaware City,
Del, who has been spending a part
of the summer in this city, where he
served for many years as pastor of
the Green Ridge Presbyterian church,
is at heart a Scrantonian, no matter
what city may claim him as a resi-
dent The most vigorous years of his
life were spent here, his closest friends
are Scrantonians, and his acquaint-
anceship in this city and vicinity is
as large probably as that of any man
who ever made it his home.
AS a pastor of large apd influen-
tial church, and a leader in many of
the best of the good movements of a
public nature, he came to be widely
and prominently known, and then as
chaplain of the Thirteenth regiment
at the time when that post meant
something more than an occasional
ride in parade, he extended his ac-
quaintanceship into every family that
had member or friends with the SOL
diers-and that means a very large
number of local families. All of the
| thousand or more boys who went out
| with the regiment came to be per-
sonal friends of the chaplain and to
1 know him was to revere him. He
made 1t point to get into close touch
with the men and his chief means of
attaining this end was to do some
kindness for them. In this way, the
chaplain came to figure very extern
sively in the boys letters to home
and thus he came to be known in
deeds as well as name in hundreds OF
households.
1t is to be regretted that failing
health compelled Mr.. Stahl to relin'
quish his Scranton charge to first
rest and then take up less eXactine
labors, but he has recuperated Won
derfully in the last few years, ant
may before long take up larger re
sponsibilities. When he does, 1t 1!
to be hoped he will find himself 10

Thomas +. Clarke, the new general
superintendent of the Lackawanna
railroad, has been with the company
less than three weeks and during that
time he has witnessed several import
ant changes in the working force of
the road. The day he reached Scran-
ton, Division Superintendent A. c.
Salisbury retired, and the next day
Trainmaster F.. p. Hamilton resigned.
Then followed the retirement of
George F.. Stoddard, chief clerk to Su-
perintendent Salisbury.
Hamilton's place was filled by the
appointment of E. NJ. Rine. Then fol-
lowed the selection of D. o. Hahn to
succeed Stoddard, and finally e. e.
Wicker was selected to fill the va
cancy as chief dispatcher, caused by
Rines promotion. Just at a time
when Superintendent Clarke and his
comparatively new force We're be-
ginning to know each other, and get
the run of the division superinten-
dents office, f. G.. Russell retired from
the head of the various departments
The return of Mr.. Salisbury will
probably cause additional changes.
Thus far, Superintendent Clarke has
proven himself a careful, paintaking
| and amiable official. He is easy tC
approach, full of business, gentleman
| ly in his department, truthful and
| popular with the employees of the
| company. Since he issued a personal
invitation to the men to visit him
at his office and ba?ome acquainted
large number have compiled with
the request, and have gone away wei
pleased with their reception.
1t is rather early to predict FOR Mr.
Clarke a successful administration OF
the office of general superintendent OF
such an important railroad, but If his
past record can be taken as an eVi
dence of his ability, then it is safe tc
say that he will prove the right mar
in the right place.
