pany. by whom he is employed. His
fellow-members at the Bicycle club
presented him on Saturday night with
beautiful gold watch as token of
their appreciation of his untiring ef-
forts to advance the best interests of
the club. President b. p. Connolly
made the presentation speech, which
was warmly seconded by II. C. Wal
lace.
Mr.. Foley took an especial interest
in sports. He was especially fond of
bowling and was everywhere recog-
nized as one of the best bowlers in the
city. He was member of the Black
Diamond team, which won the first
series Of games played last season in
the Northeastern Pennsylvania league,
and his score of 254 is the highest ever
rolled on the Bicycle club alleys. Mr.,
Foley Is most companionable young
man and he leaves behind him a host
of well wishing friends.
1T Is seldom that young man Is
elected to the important office of alder
man in a big city like Scranton who
can adapt himself so readily and ac-
ceptably to the duties as Alderman NJ.
j, Ruddy, of the Sixteenth ward, has
done.
He is probably the youngest alder
man in the state, but his age is no dis
paragement to his recognized ability,
both as lawyer and dispenser of
justice. From the beginning of his
career as public servant, Mr., Ruddy
has fully demonstrated his fitness for
the office he holds, and Is not only
popular with all classes, but has rare
faculty of making friends.

POLITICAL MATTERS.

Leaders and prospective candidates
OF the Democracy met yesterday af-
ternoOn in Hotel Schadt, to discuss
tomorrow's convention.
1t was thought it might be possible
to make slate that would do away
entirely with internecine strife, but a
stumbling block was encountered on the
orphans court judgeship.
Charles Crafts name was formally
withdrawn from the list of seekers for
the nomination for county commits
sioner, and George Howell was put up
as the candidate for congress.
This left the convention with moth
ing to do except decide between II. p.
Hoban and Hon. NJ. r. Sando as can
didates for orphans court judge.
Neither was agreeable to a proposition
to have the other selected, and the
slate-makers, with view of doing
even-handed justice, agreed to let them
fight it out in the convention.
Assurances being at hand that George
Howell would accept the nomination,
it was agreed to make him the candi-
date. 1t Is understood that the friends
of the candidates who are assured of
a nomination are in favor of Howell,
and that vigorous fight will be put
upon the floor of the convention for the
endorsement of Congressman Connell.
At first they favored the proposition
TO let the congressional nomination go
by default, but when reminded that 1t
would be incumbent, under the rules,
for the county committee to fill the Va
cancy, they set out to prevent a vacan-
cy by securing the endorsement of the
Republican candidate,
The convention promises to be an in
teresting affair,
The primaries on Saturday We're at
tended with enlivenng incidents in
many of the wards, while in others the
election consisted of the vigilance COM
mittee making out credentials, 1t is
said that no less than a dozen contests
will be submitted to the convention for
adjudication.
Hon John f. Barrett wants the Re-
publican senatorial nomination. He Is
not so desrous of it that he would
come out openly and seek 1t, but his
close friends, who have besought him to
announce himself as candidate, as
sert that he would not only accept but
would feel highly complimented with
nomination. Should it come to a pass
where the candidates, Messrs. Bourke
and Jordan, We're in deadlock, or
something such, the convention could
count positively on an acceptance from
Mr. Barrett, He himself will only say
that If the nomination came to him
he would accept 1t.
The Democrats of the Fourth dis
trict have practically settled the Tim
lin-Hendricks muddle Each gentle
man has agreed to withdraw If the
other does and not further seek a
nomination. District Chairman Dug
gan expects to issue call for another
convention this week
Joseph Brennan, of Carbondale; John
Burke, of Archibald, and James Mean
drew. OF Archibald, are spoken Of as
the likely candidates.

woRKMAN's MARROW ESCAPE.
While Suspended from a Building,
the See fold Fell.

While a sliding scaffold was being
drawn up on the Lackawanna avenue

A Popular School.

The Lackawanna Business college in

of becoming very popular school. The
attendance on opening day this month
was four times that of one year ago
and the school Is receiving new pupils
almost daily. This school can boast
of having every graduate of the past
year holding a good position and that
not one of its graduates spent over
six months in preparing themselves.
The individual attention given each
pupil accounts for this remarkable
showing. ~

ANOTHER JACK AND wl

JACK and Jill went up the hM
To fetch pail of milk;
Jack was dressed in his Sunday best
And Jill was all in silk.
They tied the pail to Brinalss tail,
And chambered on her ban
Whlch made her jump and sadly bump
Miss Jill and Master Jack.
She leaped so high, they knocked tie
sky,
And dashed into a star;
II blinked its eye IN mild sxrprise
And said How rude yos are"
The milk upset. they all got wet
The clouds indeed were soaking;
The sky blue ground was nearly
drowned.
And gurgled. Most provoking,"
The stars all rushed and banged ana
brushed.
And secured for half day;
The planets rubbed. the comets
scrubbed
To clear the Milky way.
The COW. meanwhile, had ceased TO
smile,
She was too much incensed;
When turning round, she duly found.
The milk was not condensed,
With crumpled tail she tossed the
pail,
The moon man screamed with
laughter,
For Jack fell down and broke his
crown.
And Jill came tumbling after

THE HORN BOOK.

The idea that children of past ages
had SO few of the pleasures and ad-
vantages enjoyed by children Of today
is mistake; but it is true that educa-
ton has made great strides SO that
the first steps our children are to take
on the road to knowledge are certain
ly pleasanter and easier than the
thorny path of the horn book and the
primer.
The horn book was the first attempt
to teach the alphabet; but II was not
a book at all, but an oblong tablet,
usually of wood, with n handle. On
this tablet was pasted piece of paper
containing the alphobet numerals and
so forth, and this was protected by
thin sheet of translucent horn,
which gave the continuance it's name.
The old-time school boy or girl us
ually carried his horn book smng on a
belt at the waist, together with
sponge, pencil and other necessities
1t is impossible to tell the age of
this horn book; it was in active use
at least two or three centuries ago.
but when printed books became more
common children began to despise the
poor horn books, and took 80 little
care Of them that all signs OF them
gradually disappeared. There are SO
few specimens left in America that it
is doubtful If more than handful of
people have ever seen real horn
book; the nearest approach to II is
the transparent slate in which children
take such delight. A certain enthus-
iastic collector of horn books has dis
covered one hundred and ffty speci-
mems, many of them very costly, being
OF silver, ivory or hard wood

NEbRA5KAN COnIDED
With THE A[BATROSS

The Americana Hawaiian steamship
Nebraskan had an accident just as she
left San Francisco on her present voy.
age. The steamer was Just turning
around in the San Francisco bay of
the Folsom street wharf when she col
lided with the Fish Commission steam
err Albatross, which was lying in the
stream. The Albatross was struck In
the starboard side and received con
siderable damage. Her boats were
torn of the davits and smashed, her
rigging booms were also torn off and
her rails and bulwarks injured. II is
said that the damage done amounted
TO quite a considerable sum, but as no
further particulars have reached here
II Is hard to tell just what the damage
amounts to. The big freighter herself
was not damaged.
The collision reflects no discredit on
the INSTRUMENTATION Steamship Co
as the vessel at the time of the acct
dent was in charge of pilot. The Ne
braskan has fine and efficient set OF
officers on board. who will probably in
no wise he blamed for the accident.
The Albatross is well known in this
port. as she made several lengthy
stays here this year while employed
In deep-sea fish investigations and
soundings.
