PECULIAR POIS0NS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result Of Imperfect Digestion Of
Food.

Every living thing. plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the results of
imperfect digestion of food; the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di
gest the food. The result is a heavy,
sodden mass which ferments the first
process of decay poisoning the blood,
making it thin. weak, and lacking in
red corDuscles: poisoning the brain
causing headaches and pains in the
eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on disease of this very important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is SO because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal,
and weak digestion shows itself not
only i'm loss of appetite and flesh. but
in weak nerves and muddy complexion.

THOSE FIVE COTTON MILLS.
Outlook Is Bright for Their Location In
This City.

The possibility of locating in this city
five Massachusetts, cotton mills, which
was mentioned in The Tribune several
weeks ago. is not improbable. This is
indicated in a letter recently received
by Secretary Atherton, of the board of
trade, from the vice president of one
of the companies. 1t was this gentle
man who several weeks ago wrote that
the mills must be abandoned on ac-
count of the use to which the waterway
on which they are located was to be put
in increasing the water supply of the
city of Boston. He requested facts and
figures relative to Scranton's manu-
featuring advantages.
The letter received from the manu-
facturer yesterday says that he will be
here on or about April |. This is con-
sidered a very favorable sign, as the
information forwarded to him in re-
sponse to his first letter is believed to
have created a favorable impression.
At all events, such a batch of desir-
able industries no one of which ap-
pears to want aid beyond a proper site
for the location of mills. is thought by
prominent members of the board of
trade to be one of the best opportunities

THEY DO NOT LIKE WOOD.
Students Refuse to BE Taught At Ills
Establishment


The following Wilkes-Ba dispatch
appeared in yesterdays Philadelphia
Press:
A peculiar condition of affairs which has
existed here for the past few days among
parties Interested in two local CONNER
cial colleges eliminated tonight in vic
tory for the students.
There are two colleges in town known
as Woods and the Wilkes-Barre college.
The other day Professor Frederick T..
Wood purchased the WillSes-Barre col
lege from Professor Williams. the owner.
No sooner was the deal eliminated than
the 150 pupils of the Wilkes-Barre college
rebelled. The tuition to the end OF the
term of June was paid and they claimed
Wood they did not think they could get
their moneys worth and they refused to
attend Woods college.
Williams wanted TO do the right thing
by the pupils and as they positively re-
fused to go 10 Woods he decided to open
new school. This, of course. was not
what Wood wanted. as half the $500 he
paid for the Wilkes-B Barre college was
for the good will and patronage of the
pupils. When Williams announced that
he would open another schools Wool
threatened to prevent him and compel
the students to go to his college.
At mass meeting of the students to-
night they received the assurances of
the attorney they had engaged that VII
liams could legally teach them until the
end of the paid-for term, and by
unanimous vote they decided to stand by
Williams. Williams will now purchase
new furniture and reopen school in about
ten days.

that they cast their ballots for Mr..
Coyne, but he was credited with only
twenty-five votes when the count was
completed.
There is a division of opinion among
attorneys as to whether or not Mr.
Coyne, who is now one of the supervis-
ors of the township. can hold over until
the contest will be decided.

wondering why the John b. Smith Pool

have been in existence over six years:

prominent men belong who will 20 and
vote against the rights of firemen who

THE POLITE WORLD

The Good Samaritan hospital that has
just been completed on Seventh street,
near Pearl, was greatly benefited by a
darce given last night at Kramer's hall by
the executive board. The building is now
ready for occupancy, and the pleasant af-
fair of yesterday evening was for the pur-
pose of furnishing and making comfort
able the different wards. The good work
that the board is doing has been fully ap-
preciated by the public, and large num-
ber of tickets were sold. The excellent mu-
sic furnished by Schoneman and Blanchard
and the perfect condition of the floor af-
forded the guests much pleasure in par.
ticipating in the dance and at the same
time augmenting the hospital fund and
making more bearable the suffering of the
afflicted. Mrs. Walter Moore, Mrs. e. h.
Baker aid Mrs. j. l.. Jones formed the
cordial reception committee. Major j. l..
Jones and Mrs. Ben Ward led the grand
march, at the conclusion of which dancing
was enjoyed until a late hour. Colonel
Walter S. Moore was the efficient floor
manager. Professor Kramer generously
donated the hall, and the programs were
complimentary from Kits & Jeffries.
Among those present we're: Mr.. and Mrs.
J. L. Jones, Captain Mccormack and Miss
Mccormack, Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Ward,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Foster, Mrs. Hazard,

SEEDS OF SIN :

Senator Hansborough made labored
effort recently in the senate to defend
and perpetulte the costly, useless and
corrupt seed distribution system that
Secretary Morton has at last unmasked
and killed. No one has denied the
conditions of that miserable business.
These may be summarized as follows:
A ring of seedsmen fastened like
leeches on the department; seed of no
special utility wasted, lost or sent in
large lots to those who sold it, and
above all scandslous deals by congress
men selling their pro rata of the seeds.
No single department of the federal
service has been SO clearly demon
strated to be useless, costly and cor
rupting as the seed distribution bu-
reau. When this ring is at last over
thrown by that exceptionally courage
GUS and public spirited officer, Secre-
tary Morton, we yet find it with the
brazen effrontery to defend itself open
ly in the United States senate.

Although Mrs. Collins writing has al
ways been a labor of love, yet such inces-
SAINT mental exertion could not fail to have
its effect on her nervous system.
At one time she found herself tired out
and weak from her uninterrupted work;
she became nervous and incapable of
work: she even saw nervous prostration
staring her in the face. The general tom
ing up that her system needed so badly
she found in Paine's celery compound. To-
day she is perfectly we'll and strong again,
busy as ever with her brain and pen, and
grateful to Paine's celery compound for
the timely help when failure and trouble
and despair seemed about to close round
her and shut her off from everything that
was dear.
"Your constant brain work must tell on
your strength" observed the reporter.
"Yes; you have no IDEA how much. l am

she replied. ~ am careful to obey the
laws of health, and am never without a
supply of Paine's celery compound. When
l feel weak and nervous and there is a

over the eyes, which warns me that my
energy is tagging, take a little of the
compound, and l am strong and free from
pain at once. never enjoyed such buoy
ancy of spirits and soundness of body be-
fore made the acquaintance of Paine's
celery compound. Scarcely a day passes
that I do not urge some friend to take it.
For neuralgia. indigestion, nervous pros
tration and blood disorders, l am con.
vinced that there is nothing like Paine's
celery compound. am not surprised that
physicians use it in difficult cases."
Paines celery compound is found to best
supply the great need of studious, seden-
tary people. Its extensive use by BRAIN
workers, both men and women, suffering
from sleeplessness, indigestion or other
effects of deficient nerve force, shows its
ability to feed tired, emaciated, nervous
tissues. Nothing else has ever possessed
anything like the power of Paine's celery
compound to restore a healthy nervous
tone to the entire body, and to thoroughly
cleanse the blood. School teachers, pro-
fessonal mon, newspapermen, ministers.
public officials, men whose daily outlay of
vitality, because of hard, trying, anxious
work, is excessive, find renewed strength,
not only of the nerves, but through their
healthy action, of the entire body, in
Paine's celery compound. Its use shortly
dispels headaches, rheumatic pains, dys-
pepsia, heart trouble, general debility and
languor, and all other outward signs of the
grave mischief that comes from disordered
nerves and impure blood.

The Effect on Revenues

1t is self evident fact that high duties
restrict imports from abroad, and by so
doing reduce the national income most
visibly. This has been clearly illustrated
in the history of our former experiments
in tariff legislation. The tariff of 1888,
fixing an ad valorem duty of 46 per cent
on the principal imports from which a
customs revenue is derived, in the last year
of its operation produced revenue of
6,540,037. The Mckinley tariff, fol-
lowing it with an average duty of So per
cent on these same imports, caused fall
ing off in the fiscal year of 1892 to $l74,-
124, ,269, or loss of $50, ,76S. The
customs duties were increased by an addi
ton of 10 per cent and the revenues from
customs decreased about 20 per cent

Madame Doree's Carmen was captivat-

sang. The part is, perhaps, the most pop

the features of most attractive character.
Madame Doree sustains the best tradi-

to a misprint that appeared in yesterday

the word "capitally'' was tran sformed into
