day.
An attempt was made by trio
of presumably professional burglars
and safe-blowers to enter the ware
house of c. p. Matthews & Son, in
Scranton, on Tuesday night last. A
patrolman put in an appearance while
one of the party was prying open the
door, but the two others on the look
out gave the alarm and the villains
all made good their escape by fight.
THE Lily and the Prince" which
gave excellent performances here last

Wednesday of last week. Poor busi-

The Easter number of st.
Marks Dial, parish paper devoted
to the interests of st. Marks Pro-
testant Episcopal church, of Danville,
ILL.,, of which Rev. Taliaferro F.
Caskey, D. D., for some years rector
of Grace Episcopal church of this
boroN was the editor, announces the
probable discontinuance of the pub
lication. DR.. Caskey says in his vale
dictory: THE editor does not feel
that he has struck the ideal outlined
in the salutatory, but he has ever had
that ideal in view. The Parish his
tory has been printed from month to
month, and every article has been
written with view to the deepening
of personal religious life, and has
been sent out with the earnest prayer
that it might accomplish that where
unto it was sent. The editor lays
down his pen with regret that he has
not done more, but with heart-deep
gratitude for the kind words that
have been said, and for the efficient
work of the business manager with
out which the Dial could not have
been printed. To these printed rec
ords we will often turn, realizing
their value as they recede into the
past. AS the hand of time moves
on and on, most things that we pos
sess must weaken as they approach
the ultimate end. But the friend
ship of a good, true comrade is a
hing that never diminishes. AS each
year rolls by it gets stronger and
stronger and we appreciate more and
more it's ever-increasing value to us.
The editor would fain make these
beautiful words his Eastertide greet
ing to all his friends, not only in st.
Marks Parish, but in that wider cir
Gle into whose hands this goodbye
number may fall"
Last Tuesdays Scranton papers
contained elaborate accounts of So
cial functions enjoyed by the friends
of Miss Dorothy Warren, daughter of
the eminent attorney, Major Everett
Warren, at the homes of her girlhood
intimates, in honor of her approach
ing marriage to Nathaniel P. Cow
dey, of New York City, which has
been publicly announced for noon
yesterday, April 29th. On Wednes-
day morning, however, Major War
ren having been ailing for day or
two, was subjected to a critical ex-
animation, and it was definitely de-
cided by the physicians in attendance
that he was suffering from acute ap-
pendicitis, and that an immediate
operation was imperatively necessary
Consequently all arrangements fol
the announced marriage function
were abandoned, and the simple cere.
mony took place at the Warren home
at noon on Wednesday, Rev. Rogers
Israel, D. D., rector of st. Luke's
Episcopal church, officiating. I'm
mediately after the ceremony Major
Warren was removed to the State
hospital where an operation was per
formed, which the local papers say
was eminently successful. Mr.. an6
Mrs. Cowdrey are now at the Wat
