Their Golden Wedding.

Fifty years ago yesterday Mr.. and
Mrs. John Kries, OF 315 South Ninth
street, were united In marriage in
Wurtsfleld. Germany. by the Rev. John
Hand, of st. Anne church, and yester-
day morning they were reunited by
the Rev. T.. A. Fricker, at st. Johns
German Catholic church. South Main
avenue and Luzerne street, in the pres
ence of their six children, twenty-eight
grandchildren and two great grandchil-
tl:en.
Following the second marriage cere-
mony, the aged couple, their relatives
and friends repaired to the family home
on South Ninth street, where they spent
the day and evening in feasting and
enjoyment. Mr. and Mrs. Kries were
kept busy all day long receiving the
congratulations and well wishes of
their friends and neighbors, who called
on them in large numbers.
The couple came to America in 1857,
during the panic, and existing condi-
tions We're such at that time that Mr..
Kries found much difficulty in securing
employment. Only five buildings were
then located on what is now Lackawan-
ma avenue, one of which, he says, was
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern passenger station. The others were
the German Drug store the Wyoming
house. the Tewksbury house and Col
onel Scranton's residence.
Mr.. Kries found employment at Rob-
inson's tannery in Wayne county,
where he worked for two years for lit
tie or no wages, and only received in
return food and clothing and shelter.
Today he is IS years of age, and his
wife is 20. and neither of them look
to be over so. Both are we'll preserved,
and he attributes his longevity to his
abstelnious habits, having refrained
from the Use of tobacco and LIQUOR
nearly all his life.
He is a carpenter and cabinet maker
by trade. and helped to build the pres
ent Bellevue breaker and spent twenty
six years in the employ of the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western COM
pany. AT the age Of 60 years, he re-
tired, and has since lived on his income
from rentals. When The Tribune cor

culiar manner. In company with a
number of other children the little fell

Il. Browns barn in Wymb's court when
the top of the buggy fell, catching the

of the organs Of the body, that coffee
Is doing its work. You may prove
whether it Is or not by leaving it off
for ten days or two weeks, although
1t often takes from nine months to two
years to recover from it's effects.

years. About three years ago suffer
ed greatly with pains In the region OF
my heart and the pit of my stomach.
These pains appeared about the same
time each day.

the fault SO began the test of leaving
off coffee. The pains ceased, but

DEAD CATS

matter was referred to the Health
officer.

to be paid from the general fund. The
cost of making this improvement is
estimated at approximately $25, 700,

to disobey and defy law, and to pre-
dict disaster and mere ruin to the
business interests of the country I'M
less they are permitted to evade it?
This is why. The entire class Of
people who own that particular form
of property upon which Mr.. Commits
soner Yerkes is attempting to enforce
n lawfully imposed tax, do not mean
to. and will not, be taxed upon it. And
when one reflects upon the magnitude
of such interests, and their penetration
into every form of business activity,
and sets the situation over against
that of small holdings of tangible
property, which are universally
reached and made to pay, and then
adds the thought that about % per
cent of the personal property of the
country escapes taxation altogether,
he Is forced to the conclusion that a
tax upon the latter s a tax upon
honesty. If the single tax, in any
form, Is brought about in this coun.
try, it will be through this state of
facts, and sheer despair at the ghastly
failure of other modes of taxation,
and the wholesale debauchery of the
public conscience as a consequence,
may drive the people to it.
The Wall Street "shiverlng" of last
week is an object lesson in that dlrec-
ton.
