The Monon boasts with reason of a
run last week from Chicago to Louis

to breakfast in Chicago and take a noon
meal in Louisville, arriving there at II

Railroad men, although suffering
from the depression in trade, are al
ways most generous in assisting their
| brethren in distress or any of their
| families who need assistance. A great
| virtue however, is that much of the
work is accomplished in private. One
prominent case occurred a few days
ago when several railroaders on the
| Delaware and Hudson combined in as
sisting Mrs. n. w. Weiss, widow of the
| late Telegraph Operator Weiss, who
| had been in the service of the COM
pany but the brief period of six months
| yet upon his death last week a sum
of $3.50 was collected and handed over
to the widow, who now resides at Provi-
dence. This Is but one case in many
where good is done by stealth.

NOW APAID FIRE SERVICE.

Ordinance Creating l, Has Been Favora
bIy Considered and and will BE So Re.
ported, with Three Amendments, to Sc.
lect Council.
The ordinance creating paid fire de-
rsartment after many weeks of discus
sion and consideration by the fire de-
partment committee of select council
was finally considered favorably last
night. The committee was unanimous
in its opinion and the ordinance, with
three amendments recommended, will
probably be presented at the council
meeting next week, Thursday night.
The three points upon which the COM
mirteemen have differed at their several
meetings were as follows: Fixing the
salary of the chief engineer at $1,000 in
stead of the present $1,000; establishing
the term of service of members; giving
a preference to unpaid members of the
present volunteer companies.
Mr.. Wagner could not be persuaded
from his belief that $1,000 per annum is
sufficient for the chief of the depart
ment. Mr.. Schwenk had remained neu
ll.il oIl lllC ppliil, NiuAi q "'iioAiN i'iNi''h'
tion towards Mr.. W1agner's opinion, un-
Til last might when he firmly announced
himself as favorable to the lower sal
airy, which was finally adopted and will
be presented as an amendment.
An unlimited term of service, conhin-
gent upon good behavior and physical
qualifications. was embodied in an
amendment, as well as a recommends
tlon that preference be given to the
present volunteer men in engaging
members.
The ordinance, which has appeared
in substance in The Tribune provides
that two of the present companies shall
be abolished and that the call system
shall be adopted. This system provides
for a certain number of permanent
men for each company, and others who
shall respond to alarms and at night
shall sleep in the fire houses. Wade NJ
Finn, of the First ward, is the father of
the ordinance, and the other members
Of the fire department committee are
Counc.lmen Durr, Wagner, p. Kelly
and Schwenk.

mendation of broad-minded men.
Whet ther persons generally are religi-
ously inclined or not, it is a fact pecu-
liar to America that they support and
recommend organizations broadest in
scope. The Young Mems Christian as
ociation Is conducted en- religious prin-
ciples-that is. ITS foundation is Chris
tianity but the principle is used only
as a protection and moral influence TO
the hundreds of thousands of young
men whom it shelters.
No description of it's work should be
complete which did net take into ac-
countthe aggressive. practical Christian
work which is constantly being carried
on by it's leaders.

it is never forced upon any one. The
secular attractions, SO called, are not
bats to Il religious service, but are real
genuine attractions in themselves. To
win men Icy the beauty and gentleness
Of the Christian life, as it is daily
manifested in their presence, is the idea
kept prominently in view.
In general it can be said that the
religious work of the association is car
ried ON in these lines: First-'The Bible
training class, which is taught by the
general secretary, teaches men the Sc
cret of personal influence, and how to
acquire skill in eXerting it upon those
whom they meet; second, the personal
contact of active Christian men with

A HACKETTSTOWN MIRACLE
AN INTERESTING RECITAL.

Reports from time to time reached
the Republican of the remarkable cure
of Mrs. Jacob Shields, the wife OF our
leading coal merchant, who has been
suffering from a complication or dlS-
eases that nearly resulted in her death.
In order to verify these statements,
one of our reporters called upon Mrs.
Shields and found that the reports were
in no way exaggerated, and that DR..
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy had
saved her life.
The particulars of the case, are these:
81 was taken sick" said Mrs. Shields,
with typhoid fever, and was delirous,
for three weeks. When / recovered /
suffered untold agony with my back
| and right limb. They felt as though
they would burst. AT the same time l
suffered dreadfully with my kidneys.
Blood would pass from me most Of the
time. My mother was with me and
friend of hers called and told her of the
sickness they had passed through at
her home, and that DIR. Kennedy's Fa-
vorite Remedy had been used by them,
| and she felt sure | would find great
benefit from its use.
A bottle was purchased, and l hadn't
taken but a few doses before it began
to relieve me, and in a few days some
| small, sharp, white stones passed from
me. That evening the doctor called,
and ! told him that ] had stopped his
| medicine, for he had told Mr.. Shields
| the last time he called that he did not
know that more to do for me. Some
time before this, / was taken to the
hospital, and then brought home, as

recommendation, and it is doing them

questions" said Mrs. Shields, "in re-
gard to my illness, feeling that others
who may be suffering will be benefited
by using DR.. Kennedy's Favorite REM
edy."
No tribute could be greater than
these words of Mrs. Shields, who vol
UNFAIRLY tells the story of her remarka-
| bic recovery.
Favorite Remedy ranks with the
medical profession as the most perfect
of all blood and nerve medicines. 1t
will cure all diseases of the skin, liver
and kidneys, and the weaknesses pecu-
Ear to females, and affords great pro-
lection from attacks that originate in

after q season of investigation in the

Paradise" will be presented at the
rockingham on Friday and Saturday
evenings and Saturday afternoon,
under the auspices of the Green Ridge
wheelmen. When 1.-THE Lost Paradise
was first produced in New York city,
It was not thought that the realistic
work shown, that of strikes and dis
turbances between capital and labor
would be pictured in every day life
throughout the country. But, as though
viewing the future through a horoscope
the author forestalled time and pre-
sented upon the stage exactly what
transpired a little later in most all
manufacturing towns. 1t is a strong
play throughout and Is presented in an
admirable manner.

PUZZLE FOR COUNCILS.
Involves Light for the City Hall and an
Old Contract

A recent resolution passed by COM
mon council and providing for the solic-
itation of bids for lighting the city hall
and fire company quarters, was last
night considered by the light and water
committee of select council. The COM
mittee decided to recommend that the
resolution be referred to the city
solicitor for his opinion.
A matter which has an important
bearing on the resolution Is a recent
communication from the Scranton IL
Illuminating. Heat and Power company
to councils asking that its service be
made less burdensome. This communi-
cation o'tached to the resolution to
be referred to the city solicitor. 1t
cites that only seventyItwo lights

its contract with the city, but that II

had in their lives, and if the strangers,
commercial men and others, who al
ways form part of the audience,
should return to add their testimony,
they would substantiate the statement
that this service for the past twenty-siX
years has been one of the most valuable
religious influences in Scranton. For
this season the association has engaged

ion will cast weighty influence over
the final consideration of the matter.

whom he had taken some pleasure, whom
he had always viewed as a child just from
school, was sufficiently a woman to have
fallen in love with him.
There was but one thing to do. He
must go away, that she might forget him;
for his love was with the dead.
More glad Easter music rose to his ears.
The church seemed to thrill with the Te
Deum festival. He remained insensible
to the notes of the organ and the great
composite voice of the choir. Since he
must betake himself from the possibility
of meeting her again, where should he
go? Meditating upon this, he sat indiffer-
ent alike to the collect, the epistle, the
gospel, the sermon. But all the while,
