MEMORIAL FOR MAI. SEYMOUR
Movement on Foot in South Africa to
Perpetuate His Memory.

A number Of friends of Major l.. I.
Seymour, the eminent American min
ing engineer, who was killed at Iand
river in the Orange River colony In
June last have decided to erect per-
manent memorial in his honor and to
commemorate his services to the min
ing industry in South Africa. Major
Seymour was an American engineer
whose good work left it's mark In mines
and mills of the Witwatersrand. and
the committee which has taken the
matter in charge has decided that an
appropriate memorial would be the es-
tablishment of library at Johannes
burg, to be known as the seymour
Technical Library"
The committee includes many en-
gineers and mine owners in South
Africa, Mr.. Gardner +. Williams. man.
ager of the De Beers company. being
the chairman. The secretary is Mr.
Francis Drake. who has his office at
present at No. 3 Mansion House Cham
bers, Cape Town. A considerable sum
has been already subscribed ITO the
fund.- The plan adopted by the COM
mittee seems an excellent one, ana
many friends of Major Seymour VIII
doubtless be pleased to have the Oppor-
tunity of joining in this commemora-
ton of his high professional ability
and admirable personal characteristics.

Major Seymour was formerly resi-
dent Of this city, and here he was In
itiated into the mysteries of the world
of mechanics in which he afterwards

AUDITORIUM REoPENED.
Interior of Penn Avenue Baptist
Church Made More Inviting.

The auditorium of the Penn Avenue
Baptist church was reopened yesterday
and presented fresh and inviting ap-
pearance. New carpets have been laid,
and a large amount of renovatinS done
in the way of papering of the walls
and repainting.
DIR. Pierce last night gave general
dissertation on the making of church
services attractive, and in endeaVOring
to secure a larger amount of attend
ance from the male sex.
In the course of his sermon he re-
ferred to the ancient custom of watch.
men patroling the streets and calling
the hour, with the usual accompani-
ment of "All is WE'LL" Said DR.. Pierce:
1T is now the midnight of the world
and Christian churches are sinking
into restful state and crying All Is
well' All is not we'll when millions of
men are dying with souls black with
sin?"
He spoke of church advertising, and
said he believed in 1t. One strong opin-
ion that he expressed was the follow
ing: IF l had my way, l would secure
large number of bill boards and
would place them around town, and
on these every Sunday would be ad-
vertised our services, and during the
week all special services. You may say
this is the method of the play-houses.
Yes and the play-houses are generally
we'll filled. Is it right that people
should only know when the devil Is
coming to town, and be ignorant OF
where God is every Sunday?"

SICK MAN HAD A
NARROW ESCAPE
His Residence Set on Fire in Four
Places by Some Unknown Person.
Bassell's Condition Serious.

A dastardly deed was attempted Sat
urday morning at the home of D. II.
Bassell, Of North Main street. Peck
vile. Mr.. Bassell has been danger
ously i'll for the past week, in fact his
death was momentarily expected on
Thursday and Friday. but he was con-
sidered somewhat improved Friday
night.
At about o'clock Saturday morning
he was awakened by dense smoke
which filled the bed room. He quickly
awoke his wife. who opened the bed
room door, when it was discovered
that a fire was burning briskly in the
center Of the parlor floor. A large
quantity Of clothings. papers and chairs
had been placed In a pile and were
being consumed by the flames. Mrs.
L. F.. Bassell and Mrs. Albert Britton
were the only other occupants Of the
building. They were quickly aroused,
but meanwhile with faltering steps and
weak from his severe illness, Mr.. BaS-
sell carried water and succeeded in
gaining control of the flames.
The neighbors were awakened by
the alarm given forth by screaming at
the Bassell residence and they quickly
responded. 1t was then discovered
that four places in the house We're on
fire. In the parlor, the kitchen, cellar
and upstairs in a spare bedroom. The
doors had all been opened so as to give
a good draft to the flames, and but
for the timely discovery no doubt the
occupants of the building would have
been suffocated or burned to death.
The family having attended Mr.. Bas-
sell night and day for several days We're
completely worn out and in fact slept
so soundly that they did not hear the
person who gained entrance to the
residence and boldly attempted their
destruction.
Mr.. Bassell after the first excitement
and when the fire in the parlor had
been extinguished, fell to the floor un-
conscious and is now in a very pre-
carious condition. The building was
insured in the agency Of ID. G. Black,
of Nicholson. Considerable damage
was done to the house furnishings.

SUNDAY SHOUTING MUST STOP.
Mems Union Causes the Arrest Of
~ Seven Newsboys.

NeWsboys must cease shouting their
wares on Sunday. The Mems union
has declared 1t, and the Mems union
generally makes good.
With a view of abating the nuisance
without causing bother for any one,
A. B. Dunning, member of the union,
waited on the management of the Lack
awanna News company, which supplies
nearly all the Sunday paper peddlers
and requested that Instructions be
given to all their distributing agents
to order the boys not to do any more
yelling on Sunday. According to the
sworn statement of number of news
boys this request was not compiled
with.
Yesterday morning Agent Robert
Wilson gathered in seven boys who
were doing their best to comply with
orders and incidentally disturbing the
peace and quiet of Green Ridge. They
were taken before Alderman A. c.
Bailey, of the Thirteenth ward, and
given q hearing. The hearing deve-
oped that the News company had told

been in the city in the interest of the
production Of Becky Sharp" at the

paper man of note, but Is also a

Boyd, who Is best known as the former
dramatic editor of the New York Press

completing the version of Becky
Sharp" which was commenced by the
late Charles Coghlan.
Upon the death Of Mr.. Coghlan only
three acts of his dramatizat tion Of
Thackeray's well-known novel had
been written. Mr.. Boyd was asked by
Miss Coghlan's managers to complete
the work. He reluctantly consented.

tend an effort to carry out the ideas Of
another in work of this kind. How
well the labor has been performed,
however, has been fully demonstrated
by the success of the remarkable pro-
duction.

DR.. Hands Condensed Milk with
Phosphates and Hypophosphites
Added-The Best Milk for Family

Phosphates and Hypophosphites
Added-The Best Milk for Family
Use.
Condensed milk Is produced by evap-
Grating fresh milk to which a certain
amount of cane sugar has previously
been added. The quality Of the prod
uct depends on the richness and purity
of the milk and sugar used and on the
care taken in its manufacture.
DIR. Hands Condensed Milk Is pre-
pared from only the best of rich fresh
milk, and by special process which
permits the use of smaller quantity
of sugar than Is necessary in ordinary
brands of condensed milk. During the
manufacture of the special brand there
is added to the fresh milk the phos-
pilates of lime and soda, which build
up the teeth and bOny structure, the
hypophosphites of potassium, which
builds the brain, nerves and all the tis-
ues, and the hypophosphites Of man
ganese, which enriches the blood by in
creasing the number of Its red cor
pusces. These elements are necessary
to make a complete food and are al
most, if not entirely, lacking in the Or
the fact that during the usual process
of manufacture they are either driven
off or destroyed by the high tempera-
ture used. Thes additions do not change
the taste or in any way tend to make
the milk medicine, but improves 1t
for general use. 1t Is q perfect food
for young and old. Babies thrive on it,
invalids find 1t superior body builder
and for the nervous and Overworker
1t does wonders in restoring used up
energy and strength.
1t is the best moilk for family use
and can be used for all purposes that
fresh milk is used for, and with more
beneficial results.
1t is for sale by grocers and drug
gists. If you have difficulty in obtain
ing it write to the DIR. Hand Condensed
Milk Company, Scranton, Pa. ~
