HINE COULDN'T STAND 1T
Knocked Down the Man Who Said
He Wished the President
Had Been Killed.

Comrade n. f. Hine, of Ezra Grf-
fin post, Grand Army of the Republic,
proved himself to be an ardent patriot
last evening by promptly knocking
down twice a man who declared he
was glad that President Mckinley had
been shot.
The man who declared that he was
glad that the president was shot. and
who took occasion to brutally beat Mr..
Hine after the latter had struck him,
was George Senbergh. young painter.
who was one of a gang of three men
who were yesterday painting the large
flag pole which stands alongside the
Grand Army Republic Memorial hall at
Penn avenue and Linden street.
He had just quit work when some
one brought along the news that Pres
ident Mckinley had been shot
I'm glad of it," said Senbergh, in
tone loud enough to attract the at
tentlon of a number of persons who
We're standing nearby. IL only wish
the fellow had killed him"
Mr.. Hine, who is gray haired old
man and not very sturdy, was stand
ing about five feet away from Sem
bergh at the time. His fighting blood
was up the instant he heard this re-
mark and hauling back his right fist,
he let it fly straight at Senberghs face.
The force Of the blow was sufficient to
knock SenberGh fiat on his back.
He was up in a minute, however. and
made dash for Hine but the latter
was game and let fly his fist again,
knocking Serbergh down second
time. The latter was now wild with
rage and when he got on his feet for
the second time he went for Hine like
mad bull.
The old man sought shelter in Bry-
ants cigar store but Senbergh followed
him in and struck at him in blind
rage. Hines face was cut by one OF
Senbergh's blows and one of his eyes
was blackened. He might have been
seriously injured had not some by
ISLANDERS came to his rescue and pulled
Senbergh away.
The old man was the hero of the
hour last night at the meeting Of his
post and received handshakes and con-
gratulatlons from all sides.
I'm an old man." he said, but
couldn't stand by and hear anybody
say he wished the president of this
country and one OF the men who wore
the blue had been killed It was too
much for an American citizen to stand
and ! just sailed into him, even though
was old enough to be his father. I
did the same thing once before when
Lincoln was assassinated, and I'm
ready to do II again"

RATES ARE TOO HIGH.
October 10 Parade May Not Be Held
in Hazleton.

The members Of the board of govern
ment of the Catholic Total Abstinence
union OF the diocese of Scranton held
a meeting at the Lackawanra Valley
house last evening. Rev. j J. Curran,
president Of the union, presided. The
meeting was called to take action on
the railroad rates to Hazleton and re-
turn, on the occasion of the annual
October 10 pa'ade. 1t was decided at
the meeting that Timothy Burke, sec
retary OF the union, shoull call upon
the general committee at Hazleton this
evening and arrange with them to in
terview the general passenger agents
of the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania
Railroad companies with a view to Sc
curing better rates for the societies in
tending to participate in the coming
parade at Hazlcton. In case no better
terms are given by these companies.
the board of government will take in-
mediate action and transfer the parade
to some city more centrally located.
AS the rates stand at present an
adult ticket from Scranton to Halle
ton and return would cost s2.35: and

STOLE A PAIR OF TROUSERS.

A young man named John "alpin
went in Kaplan's clothing store. on
Penn avenue. last night and asked to
be shown some trousers. He picked
out a pair that he said he liked. aud
went into the retiring room to try them
on.
He put them on and, after pulling his
old trousers over them, made dash
for the street. He got safely away be-
fore the proprietor knew what had
happened. Patrolman Parry was noti-
fled and he followed Calpin up the ave-
nue. and traced him into saloon at
the corner of Adams and Lackawanna
avenues.
He went in, accompanied by PATROL
man Haggerty, and placed Calpin
under arrest. The latter resisted fierce
ly. and the policemen had to use their
clubs to subdue him. When the sta
ton house was reached 1t was found
that he was wearing the two pairs Of
trousers.

St. Thomas College Will Have a
Great Year.

The prospects for the coming year at
st. Thomas college are very bright
over sixty new students have been
registered during the past two weeks,
the largest enrolment in the history Of
the institution. Many of the new
comers are graduates OF the local high
schools. The excellent work done at
the college during the last few years
is evidently bearing fruit.
The increase in the number of stu
dents will necessitate the opening of
another class and addition to the staff

A Famous Old House.

The house of Walter Baker & Co., whose
manufactures of cocoa and chocolate have
become familiar in the mouth as household
words, was established one hundred and
twenty-one years ago 17sO) on the Neponset
River in the old town of Dorchester, a sub
urb of Boston. From the little wooden mill
by the rude bridge that arched the flood"
where the enterprise was first started, there
has grown up the largest industrial estab-
lishment of the kind in the word. 1t might
be saii that, while other manufacturers
come and go, Walter Baker & Co. go on
forever
What is the secret of Their great success?
1t is very simple one. They have won and
held the confidence of the great ana CON
stantly increasing body of consumers by al
ways maintaining the highest standard in
the quality of their cocoa and chocolate
preparations, and selling them at the lowest
price for which unauthorized articles of
good quality can be put upon the market.

POWDER.
What Happened to the Man Who
Found il Out

FOUND u Out.
1T occurred to an alchemist one day
that it would be fine thing to take
sulphur, saltpeter and dried toads,
pound them all to powder and sub
lime them together in an alembic,
which he carefully luted and set or
the furnace to heat. He poked up the
fire and waited around, thinking what
he would do with all his money if this
should turn out to be the powder of
reduction that would turn base metals
into gold, when. bang! went the
alembic and the windows blew out
and the door ripped off its hinges and
fell down, blam! The alchemist scuf
fed out from under the ruins of the
furnace, shook a red-hot coal or two
out of his shoe and the ashes off him
self, and wondered what had struck
him. He tried it again and again, and
each time with the same result; and
then it dawned upon him that he had
discovered a fair article of blasting
powder. Since then about all that has
been done to his recipe has been to
put in little better article of char
coal, say that of willow twigs, instead
of toasted toads.
Little did the old alchemist dream
what potency was in that powder of
reduction For such it is. Although
it never yet has turned lead into god
by its mere touch, yet when small
round piece of lead is put with the
powder into an iron tube OF curious
workmanship, and not gold only, but
all manner of goods and chattels,
houses and lands, messuages, ease
ments and Entertainments, even mems
souls and bodies. Lay down the book
for moment and bethink you what
this powder par excellence, this
powder of powders, has brought
about since first the dried toads char
red in that alembic. How has it put
down the mighty from their seat, and
exalted them that are of low degree!
How has it been the helper of men
that struggled for their country's free
dom, believing that they had the right,
God-given and Unborn, to govern their
own affairs, and not to be ruled from
beyond the sea, a glorious doctrine
when the time is 1776, and the sea the
Atlantic, contemplate and rebellious
when the time is 1901, and the sea the
Pacific! This powder asks no ques-
tons as to right or wrong. 1t propels
with equal violence the bullet against
the breast of him that fights the for
eign tyrant and him that resists the

Western Canada's December Weather
Equal to that of Nav in Mime

Equal to that or May in M1nne-
sofa.
To the Editor-Thomas Regain and
G. Collins, of Eden Valley, Mimi, went
out to Western Canada last December
as delegates, to look over the grazing
and grain lands that are being offered
at such low prices and reasonable
terms. This is what they say:
1--WE arrived in Calgary about the
Goth December, and although we had
left winter in Minnesota and Manitoba,
we were surprised to find beautiful
warm weather at this point, quite equal
to what we have in May in Minnesota.
There was no snow nor trace of win
ter to be seen, and the climate was
really splendid. Horses, cattle and
sheep were running out, in prime con-
dition, with plenty of feed on the prai-
rie, and really better than that of ours
stabbed in the South. We are impress
ed with this country as one of the
finest mixed farming countries we have
ever seen. The immense tracts of fer
tile lands well sheltered and abundant
ly watered leave nothing to be desired.
Leaving Alberta, we returned east
and visited the Yorkton district in
Assiniboia. We drove out about ten
miles at this point. and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples of
grain we were able to see, wheat yield
ing twenty-five bushels, oats sixty
bushels. Roots were also good speci-
mems. From what we have seen, we
have decided to throw in our lot with
the York toners-satisfied that this part
of the. country will furnish good OPP
portunities for any one anxious to make
the best of a really good country. Any
agent of the Canadian government,
whose advertisement appears else
where in the columns of your paper,
will give you full particulars of the
new districts being opened out this
year in Assiniboia and Saskatchewan.
Yours truly. OLD READER.
