Scranton Wa,,ops the School BOYS.

1t was fortunate for Wilkes-Barre
that il did not run uD against the
Scranton Indians Saturday. The locals
We're i'm great form and would have
undoubtedly run away with them. In
the absence of the Wilkes -Barreans
three of the local school teams We're
put up against them and as may be
imagined We're literally slaughtered.
There were three twenty-minutc per-
iods of play arranged for, but owing
to darkness the last period was cut
down To about 10 cinutes. In these
fifty minutes, Scranton succeeded in
scoring So points, and when it was all
over looked and acted fresh enough to
make fifty-eight more points. The
School of the Lackawanna was the first
to line up against the Indians. In
twenty minutes, eighteen points were
scored. After Il ten minutes rest. ST.
Thomas college essayed to make Il bet
ter showing than the Lackawannas.
but had to be content with equalling
them. Scranton was now thoroughly
warmed up and went at the third
victim, the Scranton Business college,
with a vengeance, and as a result the
stenographers had % points scored on
them in about half as many minutes.

The Early Christians.

The horrors and prosecutions which attended
| the development OF Christianity by the benef-
cence OF providence we trust may, in this world,
| never again reappear. The corruptness and alb
hOrrent righteousness of the Roman nation
under the rulership of Claudius Nero had at
tanned its zenith, thus Occasioning the clandes-
| tine gatherings of the small assemblage of
Proselytes to be an undertaking of utmost
hazard. The arena, the most ignoble den Of
massacre that ever disgraced civilized country,
was the resort of the Emperor, aristocracy and
populace for the invidious purport of witnessing
| the shedding OF blood of martyrs, gladiators,
| slaves and vanguished subjects. The presence
of this awe-inspiring feature made the religious
sublimity of the Christian glow with more hall
| lowed splendor. For the victorious gladiator
| there remained compensation, his valorous
achievements were rewarded by a cOronal of
glory; bred to the ordeals of conquest, highly
| cultivated in the usage of defensive weapons
and, moreover endowed by nature with superior
physical advantages, the slaughter of ferocious
| animals was a matter of vigilance and adroit
maneuverlng-bu tolthe defenceless, magnani
| nous martyr there were no auxiliaries. Yet the
courage, the unwavering tirmness, the moral
grandeur of such supreme heroes surpasses be-
ilel. COHu6mueu by Il ruthless monarch ana
despised by an exulting multitude they had
! nothing to uphold their fortitude beyond the
love of God and the eXhOrtations of their suffer-
ing brethren. Compelled to enter the pale Of
the amphitheatre with the awful consciousness
| of the most terrible of deaths awaiting them,
hearkening to the savage growls and menacing
| roars of enraged beasts, with no prospect of re-
lief, no protective weapon, no alternative but to
anticipate merciless butchery, these commenda-
BILE spirits bequeathed to forthcoming genera
tons superbly heroic example of self-sacrifice
which can never be lauded sufficiently. We
can indistinctly conceive the grating of the
bolts, the doorway agape and the magnificent
form of the king of beasts moving through the
portals. Apart within the compass of fifty yards
! a body OF devoted christians with eyes appraised
to heaven and applications escaping their lips;
the whole gallery of expectant gazers stepped in
| silence as closer and closer toward his defence
less prey creeps the remorseless lion. No indi-
cations of recruitment before an earthly poten-
| tate dims the abiding nobility of the innocent,
the rapacious mons ter with cavernous jaws ex.
hibiting his formidable ivory and gnashing
teeth, couches lower and lower, collecting his
energies for the fatal spring, then prolonged
and deafening roar which shakes the coliseum
from base to summit one appalling and terrible
bound ami the doom which stigmatizes the
nation with everlasting infamy is accomplished.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies Deafness is caused by an 1nhameo
condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachaln
Tube. When this tube gets infamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out ana THIS
tube restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case

THE sacred puty or yot,np.

Tomorrow is the last day of registration
in this State. The citizen who fails to
see, by nine o'clock tomorrow evening,
that his name is properly entered on the
losing his vote. The law requires per-
sonal registration, the only substitute be-
ing to have ones name "sworn in by a
voter of the precinct. This is obviously
a risky proceeding, and every man who
sets the proper value o N his great privi-
lege as a citizen will personally see to it
that he is properly enrolled.
No since the days just before the
war has the right of voting been so in
estimable a gift, nor has the duty of
voting been so sacred as it is this year.
The prosperity of the present and the
very existence of our National institutions
in the future are staked upon the result.
The country is threatened with repudia-
ton and ruin in the first instance, with
communistic riot in the second. Blood
shed and rapine stalk in the train of
Organism. This is the time for every
thinking man, every peaceable a every
honest man to come out and vote for
the liberty and law handed down by the
fathers. and for the safety of his home
and his family.
