FOB SALE BY ALL DEALERS.

Traffic on tho South Side nnd Pitts-ton lines was delayed for a short time yesterday forenoon by car No, 110 Jumping the track at tho No. 3switch, which Is located on littston avenue, between Brook and Locust streets. Tho wreck car was on the scene In a short time after the accident happened and soon had tho derailed car back on tho rails. August Altman, of this side, was last evening arraigned beforo Alderman Lentes on tho charge of assault and battery, preferred by William Seyseka. As the evidence was very trivial and would not warrant a case, the defendant was discharged.

Mr. Michael McDonpugh, of Mooslc. has been piomoted to the position of head collector for M. Robinson. Mr.

McDonough Is well favorably known throughout tho county, having for the past few years represented the M. Robinson brewery In the lower section of this and Luzerne county.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ilerrman.of Birch street, aro rejoicing over tho nrrlval of a son. Dr. Manley, of Plttston avenue, arrived on Tuesday evening from a vlalt to tho Bermuda Islands, ANNUAL BANQUfcT OF YALE ALUMNI Concluded from 1'ngo 8.

spond to "Union College" as one of the most distinguished men of that college. Major Warren also referred to him In most complimentary terms as a poet, writer and lawyer. Mr. Green prefaced his address with an assurance that ho would not read any of his poetry. "I don't write poetry any more," Mr.

Green Bald. "I havo reformed. I am now earning my living honestly as a lawyer." Continuing he said: HOMER GREENES ADDRESS. Tho best evidence of the character of a college lies In tho character of her alumni. And thu people of Scruiiton mo nut unacquainted with Union college products.

Tboso of you who attended the New England dinner held In this room In December cannot fall to remember the clinim and brilliance of an address by a Cnlou alumnus, Dr. William M. McEl-roy. Nor will you scon forget the masterly hperch mado hero on similar occasion few years ago by Dr. Raymond, nn alumnus and president of the college.

Another loyal nluninus iff Union who Is viull and most favorably known In Scran-ton is Charles Emory Smith, the present postmaster egucrnl of tho United States, a man whoso ability and manhood nnd broad statesmanship ought to and will one day, 1 trust, land him In the presidential chair. It Is not after nil tho man who has achieved fame and fortune, whos.e nnme Is household word nnd whose deeds make history, who inos-t truly reflects on his fellow men that which his collego has tilvtn him. He must have credit Indeed lor what ho has done. As a rulo his eminence has been achieved by bard and persistent labor, and t-luo qua non of permanent success. But ho should not bo wut forward to the exclusion of every ono else.

As Oem Paul Is said to havo reinatkcd to the Right Honorable Joseph Chamberlain, "Thero nte others." No college ever yet graduated a body of students ever one of whom becamo or will become great. No clas ever went out fiom Ynle or Princeton or Union iv. cry member of vflth becamo or is destined to beccmo fnmous. I do not think 1 put It too strongly when I say that not Iho per cent, of the members of any cl.i.ss or any college become what the world calls ureat. In defeienco to the Yale of 'SI I'll mako that nloa per cent.

inr do I think I put it too strongly when I say that barely" ono per cent, of tho graduates of any first class college make total failures In life. The weeding process during the college course Is too thorough and hevero for that. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. No more splendid example of the law of the survival of the fittest can be pro- llllOPll tl.r.ll 1 ftlllml ft. tl.rt rrvn.1i.il class- of any hlqh grade college In this uiurgiow or llio nineteenth century.

But whn you have btt aside your nine per rent, as men of mark, and your ono per cent, of men too dot ply muiked-what about the other ninety'' They ato the irv-eingo alumni It's the average alumnus after all who among college men Is doing the best and biggest part of tho world' work. And I tal.n It that the ti ue purpose of any eod 'go is nut so much to pioduco tl.o genius who shall do mighty on a In ond arena not so much that, r.s It to tir.ln tho average man to ln.tlto tho most of life which is his, to In-come prorit-iuut la any calling ho may choose, however humble, and good citizen of any community however small. In which his lot Is east. And in this noble nnd munificent work. God speed your college, sir, and mlno and all others to tho end that the work may bo well done.

"Three times three for Homer Green" was given with a will nnd then all joined In singing "Delta Beta Phi." after which Major Warren Introduced Dr. II. S. Durand, of Rochester, to re-sroiid to the toast, "Bright College Yearn," the title of one of Yale's moat popular songs, of which Dr. Durand Is the author.

DR. DURAND'S WIT AND POETRY. Before ho had been talking five minutes Dr. Durand evidenced that he was no less wit than a poet. For the past three days ho has been traveling with President Iladley.

He began his address by referring to this fact and then kept his listeners in almost continuous laughter with his "reminiscences" of the trip. He followed this with a number of ills short poems on Yale topics and concluded with the following lines to "Old Oh! hearts which mo lost In the mazes Of doubt and tho ways of despair Heboid how our starry flag blazes! It is theto! It Is there! It is there! Like a fabulous dawn It arises. Revealing a world of surprises, And our hopes and our timid surmises They ore changer Into certainty rare. For wo know that tho selllbh and cruel Shall bo bowed at the touch of tho rod, When this flame shall bo set to our fuel In tho love and tho goodness of God; Whero tho red of tho blood of tho Nation. And tho whtto of rhn pure of creation, With our Yale's deepest bluo In tela-tlon, Shall be waved In tho flag of our sod.

He added tho comment that the -field of blue was covered with stars, ns usual, JUDGE BUFFINGTON SPEAKS. Judgo Bulllngton, a Trinity man, was called upon for a few remarks and, although totally unexpectlng tho call, entertained the company with timely witticisms and stories, and moused unbounded enthusiasm in a brief speech on the work of the smaller colleges. President MeKInley, Secretary Root and Postmaster General Smith were mentioned as some of th-i products of the smaller colleges. The biographies of the country, ho said, tell what tho smaller colleges have done, no concluded by paying a hand-honio tribute to his own Alma Mater. The banquet was concluded with reading Dr.

Durand of a poem on "The Transformation of the City of Paris Into the Cruiser Ynle," written by Robert Cameron Rodgers, 'S3, of Buffalo. It was a most clever bit of burlesque and sent everybody away In a laughing mood. COMMITTEE ADJOURNS. Will Go to Mauch Chunk to Investigate Grievances. Phlllipsburg, N.

March 14. After a session lasting nearly all nlsht the Central New Jersey Railroad Brotherhood grievance committee adjourned nnd went to Mnunch Chunk to investigate charges of alleged unfair treatment coming from that section. While the committee men refused to talk over tho outcome of their deliberations, It Is known that the cases heard were considered of such Importance for them to demand a hearing from President Maxwell. Next Tuesday was the date fixed by the men for the Interview. Whether this date will suit the convenience of Mr.

Maxwell or whether ho will consent to receive tho connnltteo ns representing tho men who claim to have grievances cannot bo learned, although there Is no doubt but that tho men mmm vm GllUDtUll7 Setrurii irvifr ains trveTrrawt Ctttrrh TONIC FOR A Separate Remedy for Every Dlteate.

Superintendent Wentz recently Issued an edict In which he declared that his mont must report their grievances to him Individually and not through the brotherhoods.

This method of proceedure Is not agreeable to the men, who declare they will stand together whatever may be the outcome, as a prominent member of the firemen's organization put It. A case that receives special attention referred to a Mauch Chunk man's refusal to purchase tobacco made by the trust. He Is said to have 'told a storekeeper that the tobacco was nonunion brand and that union men would not purchase It. Later the railroader reported to havo received a letter from "V.entz reprimanding him for his METHODIST CONFERENCE.
