K0NAGENARIAN DIES Former Wilkes-Barrean Had Just Celcr brated the Ninety-sixth Anniver Rlrtk wmj va se stiui IDally Record.

Oct tlj Word has been received In this city that Samuel R. Marshall, a former resident died at his home. 23 North Broad "street Philadelphia, on October 17. Two days before hi death, Wednesday, October 13, he celebrated the ninfty-slxth anniversary of his birth. Mr.

Marshall with his family resided on South Franklin street on the upper part of the premises now occupied by Mrs. Mrs. Marshall, his wife, planted the English walnut tree in front and upper corner of that lot. Subsequently he built himself a nevy.home. on the same street near touth street, now owned and occupied by Judge Htrsuss snd family.

He Is one ot the promoters of the Wllkes-Iiarre Water Co. and for many years a director. He was identified with many of the early industries ot the city, among i which was the Lanlng A Marshall if Foundry, which was in fact the lsrgest Industry of the borough, now city. It i was lreattid on North Canal street now Pennsylvania- avenue, where the tatlon of the Wllkes-Barre Hasle ton Railroad Co. -is located.

Messrs. letting and Marshall sold the foundry to the Dickson Manufacturing Co. and I that company moved it to There are nd' doubt a few mechanics tin living in thl city who were employed in that foundry, and will re-membor Mr. Marshall as a kind and helpful employer, ready and wHllng t' do them any possible, whenever their necessities required it Ho has always been a' welcome visitor, andjwill be greatljr misted by his' old friends7. is survived, by three daugh ters one son, Samuel R.

Perhaps a brief rtumi of these bills would help many to understand them tetter, smd cob vino them that these bUlaar all for th good ox th farmer and sportsman, and for th protection ofy-wlld life. Let ms say In th first plac: th best blood, brains and energy of the couiitry were engaged In the prepara- Isitlon forged asraiast any hiltTaks th U'ck-jicLean Bill. Let me ask any objector: Is it- right that migratory birda which Ignore Stat lines should considered the property of any on State more han another? These birds belong to the -people Of the whole country and should be guarded by t)i federal government and for the good of all Its citizen. The power to do this wa conferred upon the govera-mrnt by this bill which was parsed by-Congress on March 1, ISIS, and signed by President Taft on March 4, one of his last, official acts.

The sportsmen, naturalists, and natur lover of all classes rejoice In their efforts In behalf of this bllL Th event Is unparalleled in the country's history, both. In Importance and In the radical legal principles vis; the cause of game protection. Dr Hornaday said in his address before the convention of the United Sportsmen of Pennsylvania recently, "We are living at this moment in a revolutionary period, so aX as wild life Is cbncejrned. This period covers not only the United States, but all th civilized portions of the world," showing a mighty change is taking place in the attitude of the masses toward wild lite, of every description, and I say without fear, that the people who oppose these bills, or have Sny objection their passage, srt sadly behind the times In their research and knowledge on this most important subject the propagation and protection, of wUd life. -The Audubon BIIL I was asked th other day.

by a prominent a port s-mari, "What is the Audubon Society and what does it stand for?" The Audubon Society, is an organization of ladles and leagued together for. the protection of our birds, snd they know the value of each, and like the members of the United Sportsmen of Pennsylvania they are willing to surrender some of their personal pleasure and say: "We hereby agree not to. purchase or use the feathers of wild birds for ornamentation and will do what we can to encourage the protection ot our beneficial native This In. Addition to the. value of tho life work of these birds, recognize their beauty of form and sweetness of song, and the crime of their senseless murder to satisfy thp de-giro of vanity.

I have no doubt that tho organizer of this society spent mar-y an hour in worship at nature's shrine, in communion with birds and and are able to recognize the voice, bf teach, for, "there is one glory of the sun, arid notherrgtory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star. In glory." Shall we npt, as thinking and intelligent people say Amefi to the passage, of this bill? Dr. Hornaday says: "Regarding the killing of robins and. other song birds as food for man in a land of plenty, there cannot he two opinions. It Is not necessary, it not ft Is very Injurious to "our farmers and fruit-growers, and entirely re-prehentible.

No self-respecting man or boy can be guilty of such wrong doing, no civilised country should tolerate It and no farmer cart afford to, permit it I would rather- that any frleid of rgine should be caught stealing sheep, than killing robins for. food or "sport It is scarcely necessary to say anything ebout he benefit that will be Jetlved from' the passage of the Hunter's License Bill. We all kmow' something about the universal slaughter of birds In this State. We Were alarmed at the magnitude of fhe slaughter, we sportsmen, know that unless something was done and done quickly; there would be no birds left The Game Commissioners could not place any more wardens In the field, for want of means, and so- the United Sportsmen of Pennsylvania Pta ng into the fl ght -for the passage of the bill. Through their efforts the bill wan passed and by this act and other efforts that were put forth that organization.

Pennsylvania ha been redeemed from the position It Tield last year, and according to Dr. Homaday's statement now In the front rank of the wild life protection States, 8d for this Is surely something to be thankful, for. Will not everyone, from the pnre 'e of nature, end give a little of their time to establishing a condition- of continuous protection for the making their hope un fftld the reality of an endless for them. w'h its mating time, Itr peace and rest? Wlll not contribute sv llttl of vou tlm to securing protection for the things th.it ga so far toward making nature S3 9 It requires but very little tnought on the part of any unbiased mind to coni'need of th utility and benefit of all these laws- The Hunter's License law as developed In.

Freeman at noes called th police, who found that entrance had been gained by breaking open a rear window.

The police believ that the burglary was th work of tramps. Judging from th condition of the clothing found In ths store. That th Intruder were unusually daring was evidenced by the facl that a number of young men stood In front of the stor at the time tfte robbery was committed and nobody saw the men In th place.

Practically indicating that ha is sincere In his odd venture Into te claaai-fidd advertising coTumns th wife-hunter positively refused to disclose his Identity. He did not regard a question as to tils name and place cf residence as pertinent, but smilingly responded that he would prefer to- remain unknown. For this reason he requested that replies to his odd advertisement be addreed(to ths Record office box tie rented. "The public has an odd way of re- Warding ons who advertises for a wife.

he said. "I don propose to. disclose my t1nrlti' nnK Art went MntimentAl -maidens writing lo nh. I memo business In this advertisement and take this means of obtaining information about a helpmate because It is th quickest I have lived In this section all my life, amd might add that I am not addicted to drink, I have two trades and work 'si the most profitable one. Which onT I'm a machinist My home lif was not the kind that permitted me to meet young women for whom I cared.

Mos of ths girls of my acquaintance are too silly over dances and shows Pleasurs and dress Is all they care for, and I don't want a wif who can't be contented at home. I like dance and I Ilk to go to parties, but for th last year I haven't known a girl who hasn't none the limit on these things. It's got so now that a fellow can't have a girl unless he spends his last cent, on keeping her amused. And, If be hasn't got enough money to keep up ths pac some other fellow comes along and cut-him out" This last remark led to ths question being ventured that perhaps the young man has been "cut out" with some maiden and had decided advertise for a wife fn the hope that it would prove balm to an aching heart. "No sir No lr ee, I haven't been tamed down by any girl, but I am anxious meet cne who cob stay at home oiv ths average of five nights a week.

The last girl I had wanted to be out every night and it I didn't take her. I was afraid, she would be having other fellows do so. That's why I want onsywho. won't, always be on the go." Perhaps It was owing to the feet that last nipht wa a particularly blue cne; that the rain fell in torrents on deserted streets and -mad thoughts of home mors than attractive, that the young' man decided to advertise. "B'gosh, I don't blame you son," was the) observation of a hale and hearty country gentleman from out (Dallas way who happened to be at the business office counter to overhear the dialogue between the wife-hunter and the clerk.

"I dont blame you for advertising for a wife, son, A young man nowadays can't tell anything about girls. You don't know whether you're going to get a first cook or a matinee doll. It wasn't like that in the eld days. VVhy. when I wanted to get married I had to choose between three cr four, girls, and it I'd taken any one of the others instead of the one I did, I'd have a good wife and a good home Just the same.

I've got to this 9 o'clock car, good-bye son( good luck. Hods vou sret your wife all right" snd with that the Dallaslte hitched himself back Into his rain coat grabbed up his umbrella and hustled from the office. With his. departure the young man pulled forth a rolljjf bills to pay for his advertisement. His fist was a good Sized, one his fingers a couple of inches from meeting around the roll.

He noted the lances directed at the money and remarked that he had a Mttle more than that in a bank. "Oh, I'll be able to provide a home all right," he said, good naturedly, "and If I get 'the rlsht girl I'U have my mother live with Further- questions, propounded between observations on the weather; the subject of girls of varoius types, the number of people who would read his advertisement and the probable number of replies to be expected thereto anything: to divert him from feeling that his personal affairs were toeing intruded tm, elicited the information that the young man knows pretty well what he is duirg and doesn't mind wh it Is that finds It out. After an assurance that replies to his advertisement vill be treated In the strictest conn ilnee. and bii. acknowledgement on part that he didn't care whether a news item was made or nis quest tor a wife, the young man took his departure.

saying that he would probably ba around in a few cays to-secure the an ticipated replies to the ad. His box is No. 81.
