printed in the inte&Ot of the Welsh
people of America, at Scranton, Pa,
concerning Rev. George G. Wilding.
of this city, under the heading OF
People We Know" 1t says:
"The name does not always indi-
cate the nationality of the man.
Take for example the Rev. George
G. Wilding, pastor of the Simpson
M. e. church, Perth Amboy, N. j.,
who, notwithstanding the Saxonized
name, is a Cymro trwyadi. He was
born in Radmorshire on a branch of
the River Wye, but came to Penn
sylvania when a child, with his par
ents, and although absent SO long
from the Old Land OF Song, his love
for Homeland is RS, strong as ever.
His father was a coal miner and his
parents returned to Wales in the
winter of their life. and died there
fifteen years ago. Mr.. Wilding has
been pastor of q number of churches
East and West7-in Parkersburg, and
Wheeling, w. Va; Monmouth and
Peoria, al; Tacoma and Vancouver,
Wash. and Jersey City, Elizabeth
anu TIL I'll AhlpoJs IN - "Aa 90 eHS
Druid has readers in each of those
places, they will be pleased to learn
that the distinguished Cymro>is hale
and hearty and that he is stlll busy
as a lecturer and public speaker.
We are glad to hear that DIR. Wild
ing recently managed to prevail
upon the library authorities to place
ON their shelves a number Of books
In connection with Wales. We
should lbe glad to see Mr.. Wilding at
the big Welsh Day in company with
his old friend, Henry Blackwell, and
/ am sure that he would meet many
of his old friends there"
The Welsh Day referred to will
be held at Rocky Glen, Scranton,
Pa, tomorrow. 1t is said that there
are about 200 Welsh people residing
in Perth Amboy, n of whom is
Thomas Lucas, Of State street, who

INSTRUCTIONS
ON SIDEWALKS
ARE DANGEROUS

Distinctions on sidewalks along
High street In the vicinity of Broad
street are a menac to pedestrians
and an agitation Is being started
against them, as 1t was last year.
People who are obliged to~use the
westerly sidewalk of High street
near Broad street. find 1T exceeding
ly dangerous at night and some of
them consider sending a letter of
objection to the Board OF Aldermen.
Ropes, wires and sticks are the
distinctions. These are placed at
various places close to the flag
stones on the sidewalk. The south
westerly corner of Broad and High
streets has been found exceedingly
dangerous, for there is no light at
that point and when one treads off
the flag stone to round the corner,
he is very likely to strike one of the
~protruding sticks and fall. A man
fell at that point last night and sus-
tanned q 1acerated knee.
