A Loyal Friend in Adversely.

From the Scranton Tribune.
The statement that in the closing years
of his eventful life the great Pennsylvania
statesman, Mr.. Galusha A. Grow, was
forced to exist upon an annuity furnished
by Andrew Carnegie, is deplorable, viewed
from certain standpoints, but is gratifying
as a demonstration that this wicked world
can still furnish examples Of true manhood
and answering fidelity that come as near
the ideal as can be reached by erring hu-
mainly. l refer to James T. Dubois of
Washington, d. c., who was instrumental
in securing the aid of Mr.. Carnegie in
bringing comfort to the twilight hours of
the author of the homestead act When the
politicians. leeches and ingrates who had
fawned upon the Sage of Glenwood" In
the days of his affluence and prosperity had
turned their backs upon the great states
man in his declining years, the Susque-
hanna county diplomat and journalist who
had known and admired Mr.. Grow from
man who represented the highest type of
the sturdy American citizen. Learning of
the financial straits of the former congress-
man, Mr.. Dubois sought Mr.. Carnegie and
quietly stated the case to the great phlan-
thropist, who did not hesitate to furnish
the means to enable the "Sage of Glen
wood to live in a comfortable manner upon
ightful rural localities Of northeastern
Pennsylvania. Susquehanna county was
proud of the late Mr.. Galusha A. Grow.
She may well be proud of the remaining
distinguished son, James T. Dubois who
has not only been a worthy representative
OF MS country at important posts in for
eign lands, but has also proved beyond
question that such a thing as true friend
ship still exists in this age of ceasejess
ciamor and selfish endeavor.

TO London in Ontario. Canada. Now he is
convinced that there should be but one

lieves there should be but one Washington

At the Oriental Esoteric Center, 1443 Q
street, the usual meetings were held this
week. Life, its aims and its duties formed
the subject of the talk given Sunday even
ing. Life, as life is and should be held
sacred it was argued-not only the life Of
man, but also the life of every creature
for each and all, however humble, are
forms of the great life and are evolving
into higher FORMS The obvious duty, then,
of every one should be, it was claimed.
to aid in this evolution. This feeling of
being our brothers keeper" 1t was point
ed out, is growing stronger among US every
day, so that there are now states where
capital punishment is not inflicted even
for the most brutal crime. The idea ad-
vanced was that all men are brothers, and
because there are some in the lower grades
of earthS school who have not yet learned
their first lessons, should we, who are
higher, thrust them out of the school al
together? Should we not rather relin-
quish our own places, If necessary, to make
room for those who need the disciplining
so much?
