A proxy and an encouraging tele-

FIRB AT GLASS WORKS.
Buildings Of the Company at Green
Ridge Were Entirely Destroyed
by Fire Saturday.

One Of the largest fires seen IN this
city in n long time. and yet n fire that
can be said to have caused very little
financial loss, was the rather para
doxlcal spectacle afforded the residents
OF Green Ridge on Saturday afternoon.
The fire was confined to a number OF
the buildings formerly occupied by the
Scranton Glass company, which have
been unoccupied for over six years and
which were practically worthless, They
burned well, being as dry as tnder.
The blaze started in some unknown
manner In a pile of straw in what was
formerly the packing house and spread
with remarkable rapidity.
AT one time a mass OF flame extend
ing over an area of over two acres
might be seen, furnishing q magnifi-
cent spectacle. The wind was FORUM
ately blowing In q southerly direction
and the flames were accordingly de-
fiected toward a nearby culm bank,
instead OF toward the Drop Forge
works and other valuable buildings In
the vicinity.
The fremen devoted their energies
toward saving the building containing
the ovens and molds, and in this they
were very successful An enormous
crowd witnessed the conhagration
many thinking before arriving on the
scene that the Manville breaker was
on fire.
The buildings burned were erected
some twenty years ago, when over
s25O,000 was spent in acquiring tbs
property and erecting them. The plant
had lately greatly deteriorated in value
so that the loss will be very small
The late J. H. Steele was the presi.
dent Of the company. the other officers
being, vice-president, =, P. Kingsbury
and secretary and treasurer, Charles
Henwood.

After the excellent menu had been
discussed, Professor H. Kemmerling,
the president Of the Principals Round
Table, introduced Professor D. A,
Stone, who presided as toastmaster
No regular list Of toasts had been
prepared, so that what might be term
ed an experience meeting" was held,
a number OF those present relating
witty anecdotes OF their experiences
in teaching the young idea. Among
those who spoke were Superintendent
Howell, Professor Grant, Professor
Watkin Williams, Professor Fitzger-

VERY FUNNY BOY.

A very funny little boy Is lodged IN
the central police station. He gives
his name as Joseph Midlevitch, and he
Is about thirteen years old and ee-
pecially bright and intelligent. He first
came into prominence on May 25, when
ne was found in the Lackawanna yard
at Kingston, and was placed in the
hands OF the United Charities society
in Wilkes Barre.
He told the Wllkes-Barre authorities
that he lived in Scranton, and ne was
accordingly placed on a train for this
city. He got off before reaching here,
however, and was not seen again until
picked I'D on the streets on Thursday
last. He told Mrs. Duggan that he
lived in Wilkes-Barre, and he was ac-
cordingly shipped back there only to
again fall into the hands OF the United
Charities society.
He escaped, nevertheless, and once
more reached this city, and was arrest
ed on Saturday night. He still persists
that he lives in Wilkes Barre, and SAYS
his father and mother are dead. Mrs.
Duggan will make an effort TO place
him in some Institution,

counters more or less trouble on ac-

remember their ages and dates OF

answer the questions readily and

encountered who remember that they

The proprietress OF large board

averse TO answering the questions

HIS SONS MISSIONARIES.
Dr. Patton is now 76 years Of age
and the father of eleven children, six
| OF whom are living. The three eldest
| in the family are missionaries, one Of
them being in the New Hebrides field,
and his eldest daughter Is married
to a foreign missionary. His first wife
| died OF fever the first year of his resi-

wife, who has shared so many of her
husbands hardships and helped him
so much In his noble work, is await
| ing him in Melbourne.
His first station was on the island
of Tanna. Here he laoored for six
years and was making very encour-

| got It into their heads, or had II put
! there by their "medicine men," that
the white people were responsible for
every Ill that they experienced, and
| overpowering the friendly harbor peo-
| pie, drove Dr. Patton from the island.
Several times he was threatened with
death and the boiling pot and escaped
only by the narrowest of margins. He
never attempted to go back to Tanna
but once and when 1t developed that
his return would incite a war between
the inland tribes and those near the
coast who were friendly to him he de-
| cided to give up the project. Native
| teachers, however, are carrying on the
work there.

on the island OF Tanna before Dr.

killed during his residence there. be.

SELLING TO ADVANTAGE.
No Farmer Who Is Not II Good Mar
ketman Can Expect to BE En-
tireIy Successful.

A farmer must be sllillful producer
of crops, but this is only one-half of
success. He must also be good mar
ket man or his business will not pros
per. There is a great difference in
men in this particular; some are good
business men, others are not, and
farming just in proportion as they fail
in the latter, fail to make full success
of the business of placing their crops
on the market to best advantage. A
crop well grown is only half way to
market, and some of our best farmers
fail to make a financial success be-
cause they do not possess abilities in
the line of selling their crops.
A good marketman needs to be
genial, candid, clever sort of a man, but
shrewd and full of character and pur-
pose as well. He needs considerable
grit and must not be easily discour-
aged. just because the first man who
is asked to buy refuses or else offers
price below actual market valuation.
the marletman should not allow him
self to be seized with an panic and Of
fer his load for less than it should
bring. He must be a man who knows
human nature, understands men and
can meet them and work out his own
part well.
Cutting under in price should be
avoided, as after price has been cut
it becomes a precedent for future sales
and it is difficult to raise it again upon
the old basis of trade.
A good marketman is born, not
made, to a great extent. Yet any man
can improve by care and observation.
1t is certainly of the highest impor-
tance that crops should be we'll sold as
well as well grown.-National Rural.

BUILT BY CHILDREN.
Church in Wisconsin Owes Its Exist
ence to the Work and Economy
of Little Ones.

For town to exist 50 years and
vet have only one church organization
which possesses its own building is
strange enough, but when that build
ing has been built entirely through the
efforts of children and by money which
they furnished and solicited, it becomes
stranger still.
Just such an unusual condition of
affairs exists to-day, according to the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat, in Schofield,
a Wisconsin town which will soon cele-
brate its semi-centennial. The church
belongs to the Christian Scientists, and
the story of its erection is most in
teresting one.
In 1896 Miss Mary f. Graves, a resi-
dent of -lofield, organized in her own
home a Sunday school composed of
is boys and girls of the village, ranging
in age from to Ia years.
For about two years and half the
school was conducted under the fos-
tering care of Miss Graves, and in the
latter part of 1898 its finances were in
such a healthy condition that its men,
bers decided to build church edifice.
The surplus in the treasury amount
ed to exactly nine dollars, all of which
