The World Does Move.

1t may be true that in the "ways that
are dark and the tricks that are vainr
more people than the heather Chinee are
peculiar" and adept. But that the
world is daily growing better and better,
there can be no sort of question, when
We come to consider the wonderful strides
made in its progress by the ~tircless efforts
of philanthropic men.
The science of medicine has undergone
many important changes, and witnessed
numerous marked improvements, during
the last quarter OF a century, owing prin-
cipally to the energy, foresight and dis
regard for the narrow-minded "Code of
Ethics" shown by those master minds in
the profession who possess The ability to
cure disease, and have the courage to let
that fact be known through the medium
of paid advertisements.
AT the head of this latter class Of able
and progressive physicians and surgeons
stand those justly famous specialists, Drs.
Belts & Belts, so well known throughout
the West and South for tho marvellous
number of almost miraculous cures they
have effected in all forms of nervous,
chrome and private diseases. Tho New
Orleans Institute, at No. 80 St. Charles
street, is known to many thousands Of
our people OF, account Of the great and
lasting benefits they have received there
in being restored to perfect health, after
years of suffering had almost convinced
them that their vigor and usefulness had
departed forever.
With their wonderful ability, their *.
tensIve and varied practice, their remark.
able skill, aud their abundant facilities
for scientifically treating all those dis
eases which form their distinctive special
ties, Drs. Belts Il Belts could not fail to
cure even the worst cases that are brought
to them for treatment, and it Is no won
der that they can guarantee cures where
others have signally failed.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
A $4,000 Blaze Wednesday Night at the
Hunter, Benn Lumber Hills.

One OF the largest aud c~oStliest fires
ever IN Scranton, occurred last Wednes-
day night at Hunter. Benn & Co, lnm.
Der mills, destroying the planning mill,
engine and boilers, sheds and machinery
belonging to the plancr, besides the dry
lnmber kiln, and Il large amount of lum-
Der surrounding the place. 1t is difficult
to get at IN accurate estimate of the loss
sustained, but u rough estimate places it
at not less than $4,000, partly covered
with insurance. The fire was discovered
shortly after 9 o'clock in the d y kiln, but
how it originated is not known. For
tunately At the time there was very
little wind blowing, or the loss would
have been far more extensive and the
effect very disastrous; as it was, the fire
was confined and the large saw mills adj
joining were saved by timely work of the
fire boys aud others who gave assistance.
The fire department from Moss Point
came in during the latter part of the fire
and kindly aided in efiectually stopping
its spread.
Already the work of clearing the burn
ed district has begun preparatory to re-
building, and the busy hum of the ma
chirery will no doubt sOon be heard
there again.

up to execration as the champion of the
local machine; in another he is repre-
sented to be benz upon the destruction of
that very machine. AS a matter OF fact
neither of these charges Is true. His CAM
didacY did not originate with The ma
chine; it originated with the masses of
our people irrespective of politics. The
Democratic leaders were quick to dis
cover this movement of public sentiment
and to adapt their conduct to it. For this
they deserve the thanks of all people who
wish to see a more vigorous adminiStra-
ton of our municipal affairs.
mo one who knows Allan L. McDer-
mott can doubt that when he is elected
he and none hut he will be the Mayor of
our city. His character Is too masterful,
his backbone is too inflexible, his intel
lect Is too alert and capacious to suffer
any man or set of men to intimidate or
deceive him.. He is not to hulldozed or
cajoled. With his ability and experience,
with his special administrative talents,
he would make the best Mayor we have
ever had. Under his rule the method of

partments, and an era Of prosperity would

him of anything worse than being a
Democrat.
LAS Major PanRborn in his Republican
newspaper puts it, No one says a word
against Mr.. McDermott's personal
character Well. in the name OF com-
mon sense. If no one has a word to say
against his personal character. if no one
has a word to say against bis ability, if no
one doubts his strength OF mind, why
shouldn't he be elected by a practically
unanimous vote? I am certain that he
will receive the full support Of his own
party. and large accessions from the INTEL
ligent class of Republicans who are really

LAST NIGHTS PLAYS.
Dir. Bill At the Opera HOuSe-The
Old Homestead At the
Academy.

When the curtain lifted on Jerome K.
Jerome's one act play Sunset" at the
New Opera House last evening, there was
standing room only. When DR.. Bill
began, there was little of that left.
.'Of Sunset" 1 had heard much praise.
1t was not overrated. 1t is very dainty
and refined, with one character at least
which is sweet and noble and most
womanly. This part, that OF Lois, was
taken by Miss Ida Bell. who looked lovely
and portrayed the character In a most
delicate. artistic manner. The other
parts were well lone by the Misses stella
Lawman and May Breyer and Messrs. w.
G. Horton, Leighton Baker and Daniel
Jarrett,
And then came Hamilton Aides happy,
Jolly .Dr. Bill" The plot of the story
has been detailed already Ia these col
umns. This time it was a case OF too
much father-in-law. The endless amount
himself capable of creating should make
him hereafter TAX precedence OF that
much abused character, the mother-in-
law.
One of the principal features Of the
play is the dancing of Miss Bella stokes
as Miss Fauntleroy. She is an adept at
high kicking and danced very well in the
second act. especially the recall, a span
ish tambourine waltz.
AS the victim of too much father-in-
law, Mr., William Wilson, DR.. Bill, is
very good. He takes hold of the part In
u brisk. jolly manner and provokes much
laughter. AS the poor abused wife and
mother-in-law Mrs. Firnlan, Miss Mary
Breyer, is very amusing. b others In
the cast, all excellent. were Miss Emily.
Maynard, as Mrs. Horton; Miss Rachel
Deane, as Mrs. Brown; Miss Stella Law

taken by Miss Ida Bell, MIR. Ernest Bar
tram, as Mr.. Firman; MIR. leighton
BAKER. as George Webster; M. Daniel
Jarrett, as Nh. Horton. Mr.. Walter G.
Horton, as Baggs, and Mr.. Thomas De
Put, a police sergeant. :,
The scenery especially in the second
act was rich and artistic.

the NEW BANK SCHEME B.

A Good-Sized Meeting but Very Slow
subscriptions Reported.
Merchants who favor the'o organization
Of a new bank held another meeting last
night in the Board of Trade rooms. The
attendance was large but the subscrip-
tions small. The projectors of the scheme.
however, feel confident that the bank will
go through. Mr.. EuNene Hartnett, the
prime mover is satisfied that subscrip-
lions will come in faster after election.
He attributes the slowness of manufact
urers in interesting themselves in the
move to the fact that the approaching
election is the all absorbing event.
The lumber of shares subscribed for
up to the present time brings the mount
on hand to about $4,000.
Another meeting will be held after
election, and it is the feeling
Of those deeply interested in the move
ment that large subscriptions will Their
be brought in. OF the committee OF ff-
teen appointed to secure subscriptions
three gentlemen put in an appearance
and reported several small subscriptions.
II am just as confident as ever" said
Mr., Hartnett, that this movement will
terminate successfully. Merchants gen.
orally are interested in 1t and l believe
that after election nearly every share to
be sold will be gobbled up. A new bank
is needed, and, In my Judgment, we will
get it at no late date"
