SOME OF OUR VISITORS.

JOHN COURIER MORRIS, of Scran-
ton. one time editor. literatteur and
conspicuous among the Welsh bards of
this section, now one Of the county
commissioners of Laclsawanna, was at
the Harrison house yesterday.
MIR. Norris was here in connection with
the great big eisteddfod to be held in
Scranton soon, which promises to open
the eyes of the big men who are active
in eisteddfodau. While Mr.. Morris mis-
sion was of Il business character. he
found time to mingle socially with some
of the friends in Carbondale who We're
glad of his enjoyable fellowship.
DAVID PRITCHARD. also of Scran-
ton, was here on the same mission. Mr..
Pritchard is one of the most active
among the enthusiastic workers for the
success of the big musical competition,
which it is intended to eclipse any prior
similar enterprise in this county.
Dave" as Mr.. Prtchard's friends call
him. fs right at home when busted in q
musical affair of this kind. His sun
shiny social side serves him we'll in this
work, as it aids him powerfully in his
business relations. He is one of the
prominent Elks in Scranton. and can
boast of the highest respect and esteem
of his fellow-citizens in Scranton.
GEORGE p. BIBLE, principal of the
State Normal school at East StrOuds-
burg, was in the city, yesterday. He
made an interesting visit among the
pupils of the High school, the gradu-
ates of this year, particularly, present.
ing to them some of the advantages of
a normal school education in their
equipment for life. Besides being pro-
found scholar Mr.. Bible can lay claim
to be an educator of the highest class.
The success of the Stroudsburg Normal
school. which he has directed since it's
establishment. is ample evidence of his
ability in this direction.
LEE s. GILLESPIE, who has been in
the city since Friday, as the advance
representative of the Harry Jenkins
Comedy company, which will be here
next week. is fragrant with the air of
the battlefields of the Philippines. He
is home only short time, after having
assisted in the chases after Filipinos
and lodging bOlos. Mr.. Gillespie was a
trumpeter in one of the companies of
the Twenty infantry, but this
didn't debar him from some lively ex-
periences with the natives. Mr.. Giles
pie has Il magnificent physique, and
when covered with Il soldiers uniform
it would strike terror to IL whole band
of fighting Filipinos. His appearance
on the streets this week Is quite strils-
ing.
a. ]. DUFFY, manager of the Ly-
ceum and the Academy of Music in
Scranton, was in the city yesterday
afternoon, the guest of Manager Byrne
of the Grand. Wherever Mr.. Duffy goes
he has host of friends, and the greater
part of his visit yesterday was spent in
shaking hands and receiving the kind
greetings of his Carbondale friends
Those in this city who rejoice in his
friendship watch with growing pride
the steady climb that Mr.. Duffy is
making up the ladder of success and
with their good wishes they speed his
progress to the high plane that he is so
surely ascending. 1t might not be amiss
to suggest that in all the country there
is no more successful theatrical man
aser for one Of his years than is Mr..
Duffy, Il fact that is the delight of his
Carbondale friends
