QUICK, 130 Washington Ave AFTERNOON ECHOES. HE Allied Arts Association, of Brooklyn, has struck a cruel blow at Miss Phoebe Snow, the beauteous young woman who so rapturously sings the praises of the "Road of Anthracite." Miss Snow was made by the society the plaintiff In a. mock trial for breach of promise against an unchiv alrous defendant who testified that he was afflicted with temporary insanity when he proposed marriage to the plaintiff. The jury, with an utter disregard for Miss Phoebe's feelings but with an evident desire to deal out even handed justice, found the plaintiff guilty and sentenced her to spend six months In Hoboken. The defendant and all his witnesses were found guilty of insanity and sentenced to the Insane asylum.

And then I saw "Sweet Grongar Hill," well known for period long, Where Dyer wrote his graceful verse, and lived in loving song; No prettier lines on subject rich, nor verse of greater skill, Were ever penned by poet great, tha i Dyer's "Grongar Hill." Most charming lines of lights and shades, and just as smooth In blend. Like rainbow hues of glorious charms, to us enchantment lend: A fitting spot for bard to dwell is Dyer's "Grongar Hill." Where flowers sweet in lustrous bloom, the air with fragrance fill. A vision now that greets tny eyes, for charm and perfect grace, There's none more beautiful, I know, than this enchanting place; A spot where clouds and storms ne'er meet sweet home of maidens fair A paradise of gracious peace, where love now rides the air.

Where none but silent trees would know how lovers play their part; The radiant sun and brilliant sky, soft Zephyr's balmy breeze, And music sweet of Towy's stream, which flows through Myrddln's leas.

SAVE HAHNEMANN HOSPITAL. Is proper to call attention again to the deplorable condition in which the finances of the Hahne mann Hospital are at the present time. On Monday the directors of the Insti tution will have to decide whether to close its doors or to continue it good work on a larger scale. Unless the sum of 117,000 is forthcoming by that time the hospital must be abandoned Hahnemann Hospital has been la existence for eight years. During that time It has done an Inestimable amount or good in Scranton.

A crisis has now been reached in its affairs. Including the State appropriation of 115,000, which must be obtained before June 1 if at all, there are now available for the purpose of erecting a new building about 155.000. Seven leen mousana dollars more are required in order to construct such a building as the institution needs. This amount must be raised by public subscription and at once. The site for the new building has already been provided.

A plot of six excellently stiuated lots is available whenever the necessary funds for building purposes are at hand. It is impossible to believe that the generous and charitable people of Scranton will compel this noble Institution to close its doors for the lack of only a small fraction of the sum of money that will enable It to expand Its usefulness immeasurably. Only $17,000 of this total amount of $72,000 needed for building purposes remain to be raised. If the time was not so short there would be no doubt about the ability of the directors to raise this amount and there would be no occasion for this pressing appeal. But the money must be obtained at once, otherwise the State appropria tion will be forfeited.

It Is to be hoped that the necessary amount will be subscribed by Monday and that Hahnemann Hospital will enter upon a new career of usefulness. Throughout Christen All Hall to dom, churches whose John Knox, cornerstones of faith and government are founded upon Presbyterianism will to morrow revere the memory of John Knox, Presbyterian patriot.

Hence the governing bodies of all Calvinlstlc denominations have set apart May 21.

Its friends and admirers, who were beginning to lose faith in its ability to keep up with the fast pace set by the company it is in, that it is made of the proper stuff to win games, and will win them, if only fortune is pro pitious. It is too early in the season to pass harsh Judgment on the club. Only twelve games have been played, and there is plenty of time in which to re trieve all the losses that have been In curred. The Scranton team may yet stand at the head of the League. The owners of the club are doing all that Is in their power to strengthen it, and they deserve encouragement rather than harsh criticism.

Don't knock. TO PRESERVE THE ECRETARY WILSON, of the pe partment of Agriculture, to which is assigned the Forest Reserve Service, has formulated a set of regu lations designed to develop a corps of rained government foresters. The For est Reserve Service has been placed un der the protection of the Civil Service aws, and promotion therein can be at tained only through merit. Original appointments thereto are made from the list of cligibles who have passed the required examinations held in accord ance with the provisions of the Civil Service laws. These regulations are indicative of the growing sense of importance with which the government regards the arlous problems connected with the preservation of existing forests and the nerease of the timber area.

The vig orous prosecution of the land frauds, which have been perpetrated in the Pacific Coast States, is another indi cation of the same sentiment. In many instances vast areas of valuable timber land have been fraudulently acquired by Individuals and corporations by falsely representing it to be barren and unproductive. The government has acted none too soon In the matter or protecting tne country's supply of standing timber. many parts of the country the de struction of the forests has already produced a disastrous effect on the pro uctiveness of large areas of heretofore fertile land.

The evidence of President Robbins of the Armour Car Lines Company, before the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce, reveals the existence of a more complete monopoly in the transportation of perishable fruits and vegetables than anyone believed was possible. President Robbins admitted that hlB company had twenty or thirty exclusive contracts with as many railroads by which the latter were prevent ed from accepting any freight of that class unless they ship it in Armour cars No wonder that this evidence led Senator Klkins to remark that the "Ar mours seem to have all the advantages and none of the responsibilities of common carriers."

NAVAL BATTLE IMMINENT. CAPTAIN MAHAN.

who is ton ceded to be the foremost authority on naval tactics and strategy in the world, is of the opinion that the long delayed sea fight between the Russian and Japanese fleets will be fought sometime between May 20th and 23rd. His reason for believing so is founded on the recent reports that Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet is now proceeding north toward the Balangtang channel between Luzon and Formosa. According to press dispatches Rojestvensky left the protection of the Annam coast on May 14. From the direction in which his ships were sailing when last seen It is believed that they are headed for the open Pacific Into which they must enter through the Balangtang channel unless they materially change their course. The semi protected waters of this arm of the ocean offer the best opportunities for the manoevreing of torpedo boats of which Admiral Togo has a great number, and Captain Mahan therefore believes that the Japanese admiral will make his attack there.

His reason for believing that the time of the attack will be between May 20th and 23rd Is that the full moon will remain until the latter date, and that Admiral Rojestvensky will make all dispatch in order to pass through the A DREAM.
