American Writer in London.

James l.. Ford, In The Reader Maya
zine:
Any one who has enjoyed In New York
those social advantages which are open
to the well-bred and decent man OF
letters is almost certain to be disappoint-
ed with the sort of society he will find
in London. OF course, II he is fortunate
enough to gain admittance to one of those
very small and very carefully guarded
circles which are not made up exclu-
sively of any one profession or recruited
from any one class, but In which art and
letters are accorded the place that Is
rightfuly there own. he will most as
suredly find London a delightful and in

teresting place of residence. Even then he
will miss the easy informally Oh New
York life and chafe under the cast-iron
restrictions with which all that Is best
in English society is hedged In. He Is
found that II he is admitted into desira-
BILE circle he is not expected TO pollute
himself by familiar contact with other
circles which, though of inferior caste,
may have some special charm Ana ne
will find moreover, that however charm
ing" the average London function Is, 1t
does not offer nearly as much of the
aulaity that we call fun as do similar
entertainments given in New York, There
are very few writer's In London who enjoy
a position anything like as good as that
of nearly score that ! could name In
New York.

"Orange and Purple" to Resume.

The "Orange and Purple, " the High
School publication, which was suspend
ed last fall, will resume publication.
This was determined upon at the High
School yesterday when new associa'
tion was organized with the following
officers: President, George Hendrtck-
son; Vice President, Elsie Moore; SEQ
retary, Dewitt Jobborn; Editor in
Chief, Catherine Gearhart; Assistant
Editor, William Mccoy; Business
Manager, Raymond Houser; Assistant
Manager, Fred Evans. Other members
of the staff will be selected next fall.
The "Orange and Purple" was OF
undoubted utility. The publication
not only developed the pupils along
the line of business management but
all those who had taste for compost
tion were given an opportunity TO de-
yelop their talent. 1t is scarcely
secret that the suspension of the or
auge and Purple was caused by fac
tional troubles In order to insure bet.
ter success in the future the "OTange
and Purple" Publishing Association
as reorganized is much more conserva-
tive. The first number under the new
organization will appear next October.

Fred KirkendaIl for Governor.

The "Star- r-Independent" of Harris
burg yesterday printed the portrait Of
Mayor Fred c. Kirkendall of Wilkes
barre and states that he is favorably
mentioned as a candidate for governor.
Mayor Kirkeudall is owner Of the
4" Wilkesbarre Leader" and is son in
law of our townsmsn, George NJ. Gear
hart. In launching his boom for gov
ernor it is asserted that Mr.. Kirkend.
all is a personal friend Of Colonel
Guffey and has the united backing of
the political leaders of Luzerne, Lack
awanna, Montour, Schuylkill and Lee
high Counties.
The popularity of Mr.. Kirkendall
not only in his own county, but
throughout northeastern Pennsy lyanIa
makes the announcement of his boom
for governor important.
Mayor Kirkendall carried the strong
Repu blioan city of Wilkesbarre last
spring by | emocratic majority of
nearly 2 500. He was elected treasurer
of Luzerne county when 26 years of
age and afterwards became chairman
of his party, landing glorious victories
in two successive campaigns When
nominated for Mayor OF WilkesbsIre
I he was editor of the Leader.

Inspection of State Highway.

Work on the State Highway between
this city and Msusdale is rapidly ap-
preaching completion and on or about
next Tuesday the inspection will take
place.
The road is now practically complet-
ed with exception Of about two hun
dred and fifty feet. The material re-
qulred for both courses is on the
ground and will be put on the road to-
day. Beyond that point nothing re-
mains to be done but to redress the
spots that have been spoiled by the
heavy teams which have persistently
driven over the unfinished road and to
cut down and dress the four feet
shoulders f1anking the eighteen foot
roadway on each side.
Mr.. J. n. Smith, the State Inspector,
who is on the ground looking after
the work, yesterday stated that some
six days work would complete all that
remains to be done on the road. Dur.
ing this interval the steam roller will
be kept busy on the State Highway,
rolling the new portion and travelling
backwards and forwards over the parts
already finished. In macadam road
it is repeated rolling that is relied up
OH to impart to the road solidity and
all those qualities to go to resist wear
and tear.
The inspection next Tuesday will be
made either by State Highway Com
missioner Joseph W. Hunter or George
Statler, Assistant Highway Commits
sioner. Possibly both officials will be
present

WILL ORGANIZE
ON SATURDAY

The prescribed length of time hav.
ing elapsed since the Dsnv1lle Bessem.
er plant was sold at Sheriff's sale and
the deed transferring the property to
Thomas J. Price for $50, 600 having
been acknowledged in open court all
now is ready for the organization of
the company to be formed and to pro-
ceed with plans looking to the start
ing up of a portion or the whole of the
plant.
Thomas J. Price, to whom the plant
was knocked down, has been joined 6y
a number of sound practical business
men, who will meet at the Oompany's
office at the Bessemer plant Saturday
afternoon for the purpose of effecting
an organization. Those associated with
Mr.. Price are 1. K Grier, Esq, W.
J. Baldy, Esq. D. NJ. Curry, O. g.
VanAlen. G. K. VanAlen, E. G. Van
Allen, W. B. NAPLES, W. G. Pursel,
John H. Goeser, O. P. Hancock and
Richard Jenkins. Several other prac-
tical men of means are expected to
join the company between the present
and the date of organization.
The company will have its offices at
Danville. On Saturday in addition to
organization policy will be decided
upon as to the operation of the plant.
Mr.. Price, yesterday stated that the
shovel works will be started up. Thx
much is a foregOne conclusion. The
machinery and al pertaining to the
plant is in such excellent condition
that there need be only a minimum Of
delay, so that it is hardly painting too
rosy picture for the future to say
that the shovel works may be in op.
Grafton by the Fourth of July. AS to
the starting up of the blast furnace
and other departments Mr.. Price was
not so certain, as the action OF the com
pany in this relation must be infueIc-
ed by trade conditions and other cir
cumstances concerning which there
can be no forecast at present.
Inquiry has been received from a
firm, which desires to
purchase the steel plsnt-the large
buildings dismantled-for the purpose
of converting them into car factory.

Working on Bridge Approach.

The work of laying paving blocks
between the Montour House and Front
street was completed yesterday and
Contractor Rogers has begun work on
the approach to the river bridge.
George NJ. West yesterday removed
the tall electric light pole on the low
er side of the approach, which leaves
the spot clear for improvements aud
adds much to the appearance. The
electric light pole on the upper side of
the approach, belonging to the Bor
ough. it seems, is to be permitted to
remain. The tall pole removed was
used jointly by the Standard Gas Com
pany and the Bell Telephone Company
to carry their wires over the river in
the form of cable. 1t will be Ieplac-
ed by smaller pole on another loca-
tion whence the wires will be carried
to the river bridge and strung along
over the top of the iron work
The contractor has already removed
Illc Ou tlIO ~ SAuO VI bllC
approach and constructed rude re-
tanning wall between the end of the
wing wall and Front street. The lat
ter wall is only temporary to support
the ground used in filling up for the
pavement until other and more exten
sive improvements can be carried out
by the County, which will abolish the
eyesore that now exists and fix up the
spot to conform with Borough prop
erty. The curbing on the east side of
the approach, also objected to, will be
removed and the improvement at the
wing wall on the east side carried to
completion as speedily as possible.
Material is already on the ground
for concreting and in few days time
everything should be ready for laying
brick.

Extensive Repairs Completed.

The general repairs on the Danville
and Bloomsbury trolley line, on which
a large number of men have been en-
ployed since early i n the spring, were
completed yesterday. The work was
admirably managed by Superintendent
Davis, who has shown his skill in
trolley construction and his ability to
handle men by fixing up the road in
first class style in a remarkably short
period of time Along the entire length
the track has been raised and well bal
lasted with limestone and other ap-
proved material. As it is now fixed
the track during winter will be furth-
er out OF the way of the snow and
none bat the heaviest drifting will in
terfere TO any extent with the running
of the cars.
John Murphy, the track foreman,
comes in for his share of praise, hav-
ing rendered the Danville and Blooms
burg Company excellent service. To-
day he leaves the latter Compsny's en-
ploy and goes over to the Dsnyille and
Sunbury Company. taking with him
some thirty employees, who are no long
or needed on the Danville and Blooms
burg line They will join the gang on

not lack of work, as all the depart

GRAMMAR SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT

The School Board at Commencement
this year will not occupy seats on the
stage as in the past but will occupy
the boxes.
Harry Bedea, member of the grad
uating class, appeared before the School
Board Monday night explaining that it
was a part of the plan of the class this
year to occupy portion of the stage
with a tent, which will be used by the
class prophet in delineating the future
of the young gentlemen and ladies of
the class. The tent with the class
prophet as fortune teller Is consid-
cred very pretty innovation, but it
leaves nc room on the stage for the
School Board, who were courteously
asked by the class to consent TO Oc-
cupy the boxes. The directors had no
objection to the change, and on mo-
tion it was ordered that the School
Board vacate the stage and occupy the
boxes as desired.
Borough Superintendent Gordy an
nounced that the Grammar School
Commencement will take place next
Friday as follows: First Ward, 2:15
O'Clock Second Ward, 2 CLOCK Third

yates.

Board along with the class will con
vene in the church basement at
