Pleasant Gathering at the Tewks-
bury House. Brooklyn.
special to the Scranton Tribune.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Brooklyn, July S.-The reunion Of
the Alumni of b. G.. S., held at the
Tewksbury House last Saturday even
ing was a most delightful occasion for
all who attended.
Owing to a misunderstanding on the
part OF those having 1t in charge, in
vitations were sent to only a few of
the alumni, but twenty-six graduates
were present, representing ten classes
which have left our school,
A short business meeting of the
Alumni association was held in the
parlors, presided over by Edwin Giles.
The officers elected for two years
were Bruce Goodrich, 80, president;
Emma Eldrldge, '95, vice. president;
Maud Waldie, '9i, secretary: Earle
Ainey, 90, treasurer. Committees
were appointed to make arrangements
and program for next year.
After a short time spent in social in
tercourse a grand march led the young
people to the dining hall where thirty
seven sat down to partake of the de-
licious refreshments prepared and
served by Mrs. Tewksbury and her
young lady assistants
in few happy words, introduced Glen
Nash, SO, who responded to the toast
to "Our Future" He showed how, in
history, one success has but been the
means of a greater one and hoped 1t
might be repeated in the lives of those
who succeeded in b. G. S. Mr.. Ernest
Tiffany next toasted the "Class of 1900"
and fairly held his hearers dumb with
L. IL a Al. 4.
full superiority of this marvellous class
OF which "he himself was the greater
part" While the people were still in
a happy frame of mind, Mr.. f. Ellis
Bond of Nicholson was announced and
favored them with one of his most
pleasing selections of vocal music.
Emma Eldrldge, '95, then spoke in
praise of THE Little Red School
house." which, though unknown to
most of us was the beginning of our
great public school system of today
and said that as such a school house
would not fill the need Of today had it
not been improved, neither would our
school work qualify us for our respon-
sibilites unless we were constantly
striving to improve ourselves. Follow
ing this most excellent toast Misses
Ainey and Waldie favored the company
with a piano duet.
Bruce Goodrich next responded to
"Our Ladies" and also made few re-
marks regarding our future reunion,
which he hoped might be as pleasant
as this year and attended by more OF
the graduates and their friends. The
company then returned to the parlor
where the time was spent in delightful
conversation by those who, once
school mates, now return from various
parts of the country-many from 9TH
er schools and colleges, others from
places of business-to renew the
friendships of younger days. At the
time for parting all left hoping to meet
again on many similar occasions.

Der of his party looked up and quick
ly responded:
This is an era of the young man
in important affairs of life. I am not
one of those who would discourage
the young man in politics. Politics Is
as promising a field to the young man
as any other. Nor am I one of those
who believe that men in professional
or business life should eschew politics.
Every man owes it as n duty to his
government to devote as much time
and thought to public affairs as Is
possible.
"Of course there is no fixed rule to
guide the young man who enters poll
tics. The same elements of success
are required as in any business or
profession. Success in politics means
primarily good Judgment, close appli-
cation, attention to details, devotion
to the task and ambition to succeed.
Good judgment I consider the chiefest
element The man who succeeds
avoids mistakes. The success of a pol
itician may be due to his power of
oratory, his ability as an organizer or
a writer. OF course, the man who COM
bines these qualities leads his asso-
ciates.
"It is difficult to define the qualities
of heart and mind which constitute
greatness in politics or any other un-
dertaking. Political fortunes Of men
frequently rest upon conditions over
which they may be either the victims
or the beneficiaries. 1 believe in or
ganization, and it is a good plan for
the beginner to early identify him
self with some party organization"
The military career OF Dick dates
back to 1876, and has been as success
full as his political fortunes. He first
became a lieutenant IN Company b,
of the Eighth Ohio regiment. Later
he was made captain of the regiment
In 1897 he became lieutenant colonel
of the regiment.
He served in Cuba and was selected
by General Shafter as his personal
representative to convey important
messages to President Mckinley from
the island to Washington. Upon his
return he was made major general OF
the Ohio militia, in command of the
states forces.
His first political office was auditor
of Summit county, Ohio. He was born
in Akron, Ohio. The congressional dis
trict which he represents has had only
seven representatives within the las
seventy-fve years-Whittlesly, Gid
dings. Hutchins, Garfield, Taylor
Northway and Dick. -Four years age
Dick was a subordinate clerk of the
Republican national committee.

SUCCESS IN POLITICS.
Expert Advice Given by One Who
Ought to Know.

From the Philadelphia North American.
AS secretary of the Republican ma
tional committee, Colonel Charles Dick
of Ohio, is the busiest man in the ma
tiOnal campaign.
Yes, it means hard work to con-
duct a convention or campaign" said
he recently. THE work of a national
convention begins months before the
party assemblies. For weeks in advan ae
our mail runs as high as 300 letters in
a day. They are on all conceivable
subjects. The writer's want seats at
the convention, or want to be appoint
ed to positions of messenger or door,
keeper. There are requests for tickets
from cabinet ministers, United States
senators, representatives, governors,
original Mckinley men, delegates TO
CORNER conventions, and men who have
performed some service for the party.
Then there is a shower of sugges-
tions. They relate to the best place TO
hold the convention, the men who
should be made prominent In the pro-
ceeding, the platform, as to what 1t
should contain and what should be
omitted, to campaign poetry, singers,
catchy fads for the convention.
Il remember that one writer had q
patent torch--another a big fan. Some
send designs for uniforms for march,
ing clubs, novelties in transparencies.
Others offer their services as orators,
singers, poets and officers of the con-
vention.
Some of our brightest campaign
stumpers are found in the shops and
at the work benches. l recall one man
"a DISQUALIFICATION l regard as in
many respects the ablest stumper-
next to President McKinley-on the
tariff question. He is n splendid talker
and makes people understand what he
says.
After the nomination Of the presl-
dent comes the hard work OF the cam
paign. The national committee will
settle down to work about July /, with
headquarters, / presume, at New York
and Chicago, as in 1896. The commit
tee is kept constantly informed by the
state chairmen, and others, as to the
conditions in their particular territory,
At the beginning the work is rather
evenly distributed over the country,
but the contest finally narrows down
to particular sections.
During the heat of the battle the
committee receives as high as 1900 and
1900 letters a day. Many require i'm
mediate attention and are of the
greatest Importance"
The question of the young man in
politics was then suggested. The mar

rs 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
MedicinesP

From Sylvan Valley News, Breyard, n. c.
1t may be a question whether the
editor Of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any Of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
markets, yet as a preventive of suffer-
ing we feel 1t a duty to say a good
word for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found 1t reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure,
but we do believe that If a bottle OF
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence Of physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past twenty years. For sale by all
druggists. Matthews Bros, wholesale
and retail agents. -
