OF Jonas Longs Who
awanna County, to the Republican National Convention a
Philadelphia Week.

Though Colonel Long was educated
for a different profession, the mer-
chandising instincts of his father was
inherent in him, so he prepared him
self for the duties of store life, and
after thorough training in New York,
he returned to Wilkes-Barre to lift a
part of the mantle of responsibility
from the shoulders of his mother and
brothers. Three years ago, when the
great department store rose here in
monumental splendor, Colonel Long
was chosen as it's resident partner, and
to this he has given his undivided at
tention. His tireless energy, command
ing influence and careful direction has
brought about the consummation of a
business limited only by the size of the
community.
Colonel Long was an alternate dele
gate from Wilkes Barre to the Repub-
lican national convention that nomi-
mated William Mckinley for the presi-
denCy. At the Inauguration of Presi
dent Mckinley, he was appointed on
the staff of the grand marshal as aide
Again, during the Peace Jubilee cere-
monials at Philadelphia, in remem-
brance of the victory in the Espano-
American war, he served on the staff
of Brigadier General Snowden.
In his private life Colonel Long is OF
exemplary manhood, unobtrusive, fru-
gal and industrious, alert to duty, re-
sponsive to detail. Surrounded by four
| hundred Co-workers, his is the guiding
hand-a commanding influence ever
active to exercise the functions OF a
| carefully trained mind.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-06-15

That a man is what he makes him
self is attested in the life and charac-
ter of Arthur Long. Strong and sturdy
in disposition and nature; frank,
open temperament, an eye quick to
perceive-attributes of character that
he has acquired from nature and by
study, and which have brought within
his sphere q host of friends and ac-
quaintances.
On the 9th of December 1866, Colonel
Arthur Long first saw the light of day
in the city of Wilkes-Barre, then no
more than a big village but with n
commercial prestige far-reaching in it's
influence. His father, Jonas Long, was
one of the city's sturdiest and most
influential residents. When time in its
perpetuity marked a distinction be-
tween the Arthur of youth and the
Arthur of boyhood, he was sent to the
Harry Hillman academy to fit himself
for college career, and from which
institution he was successfully gradu-
ated. Mr.. Long entered Lehigh uni
versity on the 10th Of September, 1886.
He was a close student, a systematic
worker a guiding satellite in his circle
of acquaintance. Hardly had the col
lege doors opened to him when the
moving spirit felt his power in ath-
letics. Graduating from Lehigh in 1889,
he took the degree of A. C. and went
West to Colorado, where he was en-
gagged in assaying and smelling in the
mines of gold and silver, afterwards
returning East to more lucrative en-
ploymtnt In the chemical department
of the Bethlehem Iron company.

AGENT TOOK A SHORT CUT.
You Can't Play Possum with the
Mems Union.

There is one alleged keeper of a
speak-easy who will be convicted If it
is within the power of the Mems union
to effect his conviction. Till after the
trial his name must be withheld.
Realizing that Mr.. Sturges, the lock,
stock and barrel of the prosecution, Is
man of the broadest charity, he and
his friends pleaded with him to inter-
cede to have the charge against him
Withdrawn, alleging, among other
things, that his wife is in a dying con-
dttion and that he had closed up his
speakeasy since being arrested and in
tended never, never to engage in the
business again.
Yesterday when the importunate,
penitent and reformed speakeasy keep
er called to renew his pleading, Mr..
Sturges feeling that the purpose of the
prosecution had been accomplished,
agreed to 'see what could be done"
about granting the petitioners prayer,
but deemed it the part of wisdom to
first satisfy himself that the aforesaid
purpose of the prosecution had been
accomplished, and suggested that Mr..
eX-Speakeasy-K Keeper should take a
couple Of the Mems union agents down
he had given up the business.
With ill-disguised reluctance he con-
sented and Agent Wilson was instruct
ed to send a couple Of men along to
make the investigation.
The reformed speakeasy-keeper and
the two detectives sauntered down to
the place and entered by way of the
residence, up stairs. The detectives
were allowed to wait in the parlor till
| their escort could go down and open
| the front door of the basement to show
| them that there was a bar room there
no longer.
Imagine his joyous feelings on reach
ing the basement and finding his "dy-
| ing" wife behind the bar chatting
pleasantly with Ag4t Robert Wilson
who was seated at a table slipping a
glass of lager while he was pasting an
Identification label on the bottle OF
| whiskey he had just purchased.
Took short cut" said the agent
| as he bowed himself out. II guess you
| fellows can co." the reformed speak.

"An old countryman I used to know when was living in south Georgia" remarked a college professor apropos of sudden changes in the weather, was in at least one respect a very re- markable character. To a casual lis- tener he appeared to be a fluent and lnconscionable liar, yet when you came to scrutinize any of his statements closely 1t was impossible to catch him n the slightest deviation from the truth"
 "One day in early spring we had an unusually severe fall of hail, and next morning while driving down the road with a friend we happened to encoun- ter the old fellow at his gate. Well, Uncle Bob,' said, that was a pretty bad hailstorm we had yesterday I should say it was he replied. You lust oughter seed some of the stones that come down in my back yard How big were theyr I asked. Bout as big as small watermelons,' said he.

 "The edict inficting punishment is milder than the first reports suggested. Prince Yuan and Prince Chwang are on- ly Sbanished and not imprisoned. Duke Lan is merely dismissed. The foreign enyoys cannot accept the edit owing to the inadequacy of the punishments.
 Count von Waldersee officially an- nounces that he has stopped footing and restored peace in the province of Chilli"
 According to the Shanghai correspond ent of The Times, it is asserted on good authority in Tien-tsin that there are still some missionaries surviving at Tai-yuen- flu under the protection of the mandarins.
 A dispatch dated Taku, Nov. 10, says that through communication by railway between Picking and Tien-tsin will be completed by the end of this month. Ar engagements have been made to bring the terminus at the Chinese city close to the Temple of Heaven. This will be q great improvement, as the former terminus was outside the city walls and about four miles from the legation buildings.
 A dispatch from Tien-tsin via Shang- hai says that Brigadier General Charles F. Humphrey of General Chaffee's staff. who left about week ago for Shan-hai- kwan, on the gulf of Liao-tung. to inspect that place with a special view to its availability as winter port, has return. ed. He says that pier will be built at international expense, the cost to be $200,000, at Ching-wong-tao, eight miles from Shan-hai-kwan. owing to the great CT ease with which that port can be kept open for winter communication. The railway to Tien-tsin is expected to be ready about the beginning of Janu- ary.

Annihuntfnx Wolves.

Northwestern owners of cattle and sheep will be interested in a contriv- ance, or wolf annihilator, for which W. J. Bennett of the Wyoming Valley Oil company has applied for patent The annihilator Is expected to revolu- tionize the methods of warfare against wolves and coyotes, which annually do more damage to the herds of stockmen than all other causes com bined, not ex- cepting even the severe storms of win ter. MT. Bennett is chemist of experi- ence, and of late has been experiment. ing along the lines of wolf destruction with remarkably satisfactory results The annihilator consists of small amount of nitroglycerin combined with other chemicals. This is the "bait" and is neatly buried in piece of meat. which is fastened to the ground by $ wire, the wire being attached to the annihilator. When wolf or coyote comes along, seizes the meat and starts of, the accompanying jerk on the wire explodes the nitroglycerin. and the de- structiveness of that particular wolf or coyote Is terminated. only enough of the carcass being left to exhibit as evi- dence necessary to secure the bounty offered by cattlemen and counties for the killing of the animals. MT. Bennett says his baits will be inexpensive, and experiments have proved that they are c auccssA ..-.
