FATHER MATHEW DAY.
There Will Be No General Celebra-
ton in This City.

To-day is the anniversary of the birth
of Father Theobold Mathew, the great
apostle of temperance, but the usual
parade of all the Catholic Total Alb
stinence and Benevolent societies in
the diocese of Scranton will not be held.
1t was to have been in Hazleton. but
it was put off on account of the strike.
1t was then decided by the district
board of the First district, comprising
this city, to have local parade, but
this idea, too, was abandoned and there
will be no general celebration. A
number of the separate societies will
have celebrations of their own, how
ever.
The Father Mathew society of West
Scranton will give ball in Mears' hall
and the following societies will con-
duct smokers in their various rooms:
st. Johns, of Pine Brook; St. Aloysius,
of South Scranton; ST. Joseph's, OF
Minooka; st. Peters. of Bellevue, and
Father Whitty's of North Scranton.

enabled at all times to locate the ex-
ira men when required.

thing about second childhood, and
went back to the paper she was pre-
pairing for the Fortnightly. Stell had
met the Stanleys. She and the girl
had much in common-more than Miss
Miranda approved. She continued
eager in giving her unsought advice.
She garbed herself quite gorgeously,
and she indulged in vanities she
would have deemed criminal few

in all things fair, sweet and gracious,
Roderick Stanley felt himself grow
young again. The night of their re-
turn to the city the young folks had
a fine frolic.
The curtains in the library were

Why Soldiers Carry Sticks


When Cronje surrendered and his
sword was taken from him, ACCORDING
to the custom of war, he made up for
the material loss of the weapon by
sporting q thick club stick of large
dimensions. This idea he got from
our officers at the front, who. when in
undress uniform, usually carry small
smart-looking canes. but as he was a
general, while the officers he saw car.
rying canes were those mostly of sub.
ordinate rank. he came to the concIu.
sion that an officer OF his rank should
have something bigger and more tan.
gible than mere delicate stick. hencs
his appearance one day with a buea
club in his hand-a large unwieldly
heavy-looking stick, as strong az 1he
leg of dining table.
The British soldier carries n stick
as set-off against slouching. as manv
civilians do who carry nothing in their
hands. Privates generally carry light
canes, noncommissioned officers fair.
ly stout sticks and officers 60 in for
the more expensive and snowy kind
but all soldiers of the queen carry
sticks.

New Idea Abont Congeniality.

A recent marriage gives n new idea
about real congeniality. The young
man and the young woman first met
mt yacht club meet. Each was al
ready engaged to be married. but in
each case there was something lack
ing. But these two discovered that
their souls were in full sympathy.
They both liked yachting that was the
first straw They both delighted in
canoeing; second straw. They both
We're enthusiasts over swimming; by
the time this discovery was made they
were head over heels in love- The last
straw came when they confessed to
one another that five hours swimming
a day was as nothing. The other en-
gagements We're snapped, broken, and
in Il short time the wedding came. For
Il wedding journey they chose trip
in a sailing yacht, over the sides of
which they would dive now and then to
swim, getting in their five hours Il day
in the water without the slightest
trouble.-New York Sun.

1t is a question that has often been
asked in barracks-who first suggested
it? Nobody knows. From time i'm
memorial drill sergeants have carried
sticks, and drum majors, too, and pos
sibly the practice first emanated from
that fact.
Soldiers nearly always have to buy
the canes, or "swaggers," as they are
called. Some regiments provide sticks
for the men, but if you lose the first
you then have to buy the second and
subsequent ones.
1t is in the regulations to carry
canes, and when a soldier goes out
that is, in walking out order-the
guard at the barrack gates would
challenge him If he didn't have a
stick.
A soldier one day couldn't find his
cane and knowing that he would be
challenged If he didn't have something
in his hand, he passed through the
gates all right with poker in his fist
Some regiments-the rifles, for in
stance-have canes with the badge OF
the regiment stamped on the head

a fine courtesy, delightful in one SO
young. Miss Baxter lives directly
opposite. She has heard mamma is
dead. She is kind enough to wish to
help u.s."
The pale brickdust of Miss Baxter's
complexion became a deep brickdust
as she volubly explained the benevo-
lent and disinterested nature of her
attempt. Roderick Stanley concealed
his astonshment as well as possible.
His charming manners stood him in
good stead-in such good stead in
deed, that Miss Miranda went home
with warmer glow in her left side
than fly-blister could have caused.
That night she put up her hair in
kid curriers'.
I'm thinking Of having my three
front teeth put in on bridgework," she
confided to Stell. "a plate is SO old
fashioned. And I'm thinking, too, Of

arms around the man standing smiling
there. Its Paul-you're it PAUL."
And she strove to tear the handker-
chief from her eyes.
There was a commotion-a bolster
GUS shout.
Stanley laid restraining hand upon
the bandage. He stopped until his lips
touched the fragrant bronze-gold hair.

"O!" she answered. 20! 1t is

When Miss Miranda heard the news
she evidenced decidedly unrighteous
anger and perturbation. "The men are

Messrs. Gaze, the Lonuon tourist
agents. had occasion to send cable
gram to ''Abbaccy, Paris" recently.
Page, their clerk, left ''b'' out of
the address, and this mistake was fol-
lowed by the postoffice, who also made
one of their own, by turning n &c" into
an "e.' Consequently, the cable
reached Paris as for "Abacey," and
went astray.
Messrs. Gaze dismissed Page be-
cause he refused to write to the post
office in certain terms referring to
himself which were dictated by them
and disliked by him.
He sued his employers in Westmin-
ster County Court. and obtained judg-
ment.
A new trial was applied for by
Messrs. Gaze, but this Judge Lumley
refused, saying the jury had found
their order to the clerk was unreason-
able.

WOMEN DOCTORS.

to tine Orient.

Chinese Minister Says They Should Go
to tine Orient.
WI Ting Fang the new Chinese
minister to the United States is a
veritable genius. Besides being ac-
complished in Chinese literature and
statesman of rare ability, he is a lin
guist and philosopher. He was the
principal attraction at the recent com
mencement of the Woman's Medical
college of Philadelphia and, of course,
was set down for speech. "Since
came to this country" he said, 81
have met women doctors, lawyers and
journalists, but until received the in
vitation to make this address it had
never occurred to me that women had
advanced so far as to have an institu-
ton exclusively devoted to the train
ing of women for the medical profes-
sion. l am particularly interested in
this institution, because of the Chinese
girl, who, after studying here, returned
to her native land, where she has since
made great success. In China it Is
generally believed that there is one
sphere for women and another for
men. The world has acted upon this
belief for ages. l am glad that women
have gained such a position in the
medical profession that they cannot
be removed. There are medical works
in the Chinese language, containing
medical knowledge gained from the
experience and practice of long ages
1t is great pity that this contribution
of knowledge cannot be available to
the whole world because of the great
difference in language. The Chinese
attach great value to the practice OF
medicine. If the good people of the
European nations and of America had
only sent medical missionaries to
China missionary troubles would hap
pen rarely. If you were to ask my ad-
vice today, young ladies, l should say
with Horace Greeley, GO west, young
lady, stop not on this side of the Pa
cific, but go until you arrive in China
Go to China If you find this country
too crowded in your profession. There
is room enough and work enough there
for all "

Queen has her methods OF saving, and
she has laid up an immense fortune,
which is not encroached upon even
in case of the marriage of her chill
dren and grandchildren, for in such
cases Parliament always steps in with
great liberality. Since the Prince Con-
sort died the Queen has abolished all
court functions which encroach upon
her private means. True, there are
still number of drawing rooms"
receptions and functions demanded by
State interests and representation, but
being such, the expenses are borne by
the State.
Her personal encourage is most SIM
pie, and strictly confined to the court
charges established by law and GUS
tom. Not long ago delegation OF
London merchants had it represented
to the Queen that her long periods OF
absence from London hurt fashionable
business. The delegations of the Lon
don guilds were told that her Majesty
was too far advanced in age to stand
any great amount of entertaining be-
"Aye," the speaker of the delegation
is reported to have said, "her Majesty
is old, and we surely wish her long
life but the longer she lives the short
er will be our business lives. because
the absence of the court kills busi-
ness"
The Princess of Wales does not fill
the void caused by the saving pro-
pensities of the Queen. The future
Queen of the British Empire knows
no finery, no luxury. no representation.
She appears almost invariably in tail
or-made gowns. At home she sits
down with her private secretary and
figures closely on receipts and dis
bursements of course, simply for pas
time, as the courtiers assert. She
looks quite rigidly to detailed account
ing, for in point of cash the Princess
has an account separate from that of
her husband Albert Edward of Wales.
who used to be a high-hyer Used
TO be- is correct, for the Prince of
Wales is no longer the ''rounder" he
formerly was. He is not rs near"
as his royal spouse, but he has be-
come much more careful in personal
expenditures.
The only expensive penchant of the
Princess of Wales is lace. That is.
she likes to buy and own rare laces,
but she wears them rarely. When she
does appear ''at court her costumes,
however. are dreams in Nalenciennes
and Mechlins. Not long ago the Prin-
cess sent a trusty messenger to Am
terdam to purchase rare handker
chief, said to be the oldest and most
unique pattern of Mechlin lace from
an impoverished Flemish family, and
she paid $500 for the piece. Truly.
"A Queens lace handkerchief"
The Italian court is saving; indeed,
extremely so. The high life of the
court of Victor Emmanuel is Il thing of
the past, greatly to the regret of the
Older class of courtiers who knew the
IRE Galantuomo" in his prime. En-
tertainments ut the Italian court are
so rare and so transformations that the
merchants in Rome complain even
more bitterly than those of London.

Birth Notice by Code,

A Nuneaton doctor raised some mer-
riment in the Divorce Division yester-
day, says the London Mail, by de-
scribing an arrangement he had made
with a client for the secret announce
ment of birth by telegraph.
If the expected child proved to be a
boy, the client-Charles William Tur-
ner, a cycle agent, living at Lutter-
worth-was to wire to the doctor
"Gentlemen's safety bicycle arrived"
if it were a female, 'Lady's safety BIZ
cycle arrived" was to be the form.
The latter was the signal that the
event called for.
