stock market yesterday, and contributed 925 of
the 900 shares sold of all stocks traded in. The

effect upon holders, and whetted the appetites
of buyers.

331z. The first sale in the afternoon was at 3S15
and the last at "a with more bids than offers
The opinion on the street indicated still higher
figures, unless something unforeseen nips the
boom in the bud. The rest of the natural gas
shares failed to keep step with the leader and
were weak and neglected.
In all other respects the list was without par
ticular feature. Lawrence Bank was offered at
591S New York and Cleveland Gas Coal CON-

Mr.. H. B. KUNKLE.

Residing at Apollo, and foreman Of sec
tion Of the West Penn Railroad. having .
large number of men in his charge, has for
many years been great sufferer from
Catarrh of the Stomach and diseased con-
dition of the liver. His stomach gave him
much pain and it felt sore on pressure. His
bowels were constipated, and he had very
dark, sallow complexion. He had no ap-
petite, and what little food be did eat seemed
to do him no good, for he had sick,
nauseous feeling after eating. In fact the
very sight OF food would often make him
sick at the stomach. He had dull pain
over his eyes. He could not deep, and he
was always tired, and more 50 on getting up
in the morning than when be went to bed.
As the disease extended to his throat and
lungs be did much hawking and splitting and
he felt weight and pressure in his lungs
1t was while in this condition that he con-
suited the Physicians Of the Catarrh aud
Dyspepsia Institute, at 323 Penn avenue,
who told him be could yet be cured.
Although he said he had already treated
with fifteen doctors, receiving no permanent
benefit, and had but little faith, he began
treatment. OF the result he says:

The Good of the Order.

The large majority of lodges lose sight of
one very important way in which lodge meet
imgs could be mademore attractive and enter
tanning. The routine business is transacted
and nothing more, says The Fraternal Indi-
Gator There is one order of business that
does not receive proper attention, and that is
GOOD of the order" There should not a
meeting pass without having something of in
terest under Good of the order"
Let the presiding officer select some one or
more members at each meeting to read a
paper OF make some remarks at the next
meeting on a stated subject, and then the
member should not neglect to do as requested
If he does not want TO write it himself he can
easily find something already prepared in the
paper or papers published in the interest of
the order There is no lack of good, inter
esting reading matter, but the great trouble
is that members do not read enough. They
do not educate themselves in the true and
real principles, objects and workings of the
order. Disparaging remarks are made about
the order, but they are not well enough
educated in even the A, B, G of that order to
know if it is true or not, and yet quite likely
they have been members for years. We are
sorry to say that there are some people who
are alwaysready to say something mean about
some society or some of its members, and in
nine cases out of ten there is not word Of
truth in it. Let each member educate him
self so he can refute those falsehoods. The
lodge room is a good place to do this,
If the presiding officer should have any
difficulty in getting such proceedings started
let him begin it himself, changing the subject
read or commented on at each meeting, and
we dare say it will not be long before some
other officer or member will help it along a
good joke, an interesting story, song, a de-
bate on some popular or interesting subject,
or any other moral proceedings should and
could be brought in for variety. 1t would
not only educate, but at the same time bring
to the surface hidden talent that many did
not know they were in possession Of Give it
a trial, and when you meet those members
who do not attend tell them about it and ask
them to lend a helping hand Remember
that he who causes two members to attend
lodge where only one has done so before is
truly benefactor.

Hit by a Coincidence.

The owner of place on Second avenue
stood in his barn door on the alley the other
day when a man with wooden leg and a
crutch came along and passed the time O. day
and finally said:
Say, want you to do me favor. Iwant
to leave my leg with you for few minutes. :"
"Why?
81 want to go around on Second avenue
and work house for half dollar in money.
I've got pointer gtAat the folks. are very
sympathetic IfsIgowith soneleg Pm sure
Of itf ~ I
Every well; just leave your leg here and
I'll take care of it."
The wooden substitute was unstrapped and
handed over, and the cripple used the crutch
to help himself down the alley. Five minutes
later he rang the doorbell of house around
the avenue, to have it opened by the man he
had seen at the barn. -t
"W-wha-what!" he gasped in astonish-
ment s,s
VERY sympathetic family lives here!"
quietly replied the other. "You seem to
have met with sad loss, and I'm anxious to
help you. Here is wooden leg which may
fit you"
The leg was handed over, the man sat
down on the steps and strapped it on, and as
he got up and stumped through the gate, he
said to himself:
1--we heard of condolences ever since l
was knee high to hop toad, but this is the
first one that ever hit me with both feet to
once!"-Detroit Free Press.

Stephens, Miss Dean, Mr.. Easton and a
mandolin. club. Prof. Paul, president of
the Alumni, made a thoughtful and eloquent
address of forty minutes.
The programme over and the gathering
scattered over the building-some to look at
the contents Of the museum: others 10 gaze
through the big telescope at the gorgeous
beauties Of fair Luna: others to stroll
through the grounds, and still others, who
comprised the greater part, TO tread the
ma2es of the dance in the capacious and
handsomely decorated hall in the top of the
building. Near midnight an adjournment
was taken to the library, where long rows
of tastefully decorated tables spread with
the bOunteousnesS OF the season awaited
the corners. Here the tOasts of the night
were sprung and responses given. They
were as follows:
