Scranton street. This is the first ses-
sion held since the election of officers
and the chair was occupied by Pres
ident A. Il. Holmes. II. Fellows Mason
was secretary pro TEN, Secretary Jo-
seph Oliver being necessarily absent
There having been no committees ap-
pointed. only business of general i'm
portance was considered.
II. ID. Jones, chairman of the old
streets and bridges committee, report
ed upon the recent repairs on Lafa-
yette street, between Main and Hyde
Park avenues. He also reported that
the petition being circulated in refer
ence to the contemplated pave on Hyde
Park avenue Is meeting with unquah-
fled success, and that everything seems
favorable for a pavement on that thor
oughfare in the near future. A petit
tion is being circulated, which will be
presented to court in regard to the in
tended opening of Price, and that much
expected improvement is a near possi-
bility. 1t was suggested by President
A. b. Holmes that a years dues only
be solicited from delinquent members.
The suggestion was Immediately
| adopted in a motion by II. ID. Jones to
that effect.
Some discussion occurred upon the
park question, but no definite action
was taken in this regard. Upon mo-
tton by II. d. Jones. the proposed Wild
ening of West Linden street, between
| North Ninth street and Main avenue,
/ was considered. An option amounting
! to $4,000 on property had been OBJ
tanned some years ago, but no definite
results were forthcoming. Common
| Councilman Simon Thomas volunteered
the above information, and stated that
this had been done previous to his
| entrance into councils.
1t was agreed that communication
should te sent the Traction company
officials calling their attention to a
previous communication sent them.
This communication was a request that
no tracks be laid on the narrow pOr-
! tions of SHETLAND and Lafayette
! streets. The purpose of the new com
! munication would be to request that
this be followed out by the laying of
tracks on some avenue north of Sumner
avenue, thus avoiding the moreover
sections of SHETLAND and Lafayette
streets.
Upon a motion made by T. Fellows
| Mason it was decided to have the new
bridges and streets committee of the
board meet and confer with the coun-
cilmen from the Fifth and Fifteenth
wards and consider some means of re-
pairing Luzerne street and South Mair
avenue. 1t is probable that the com
mittee will entertain the offer of FREQ
j. Widmayer to furnish the stone from
his quarry for macadam purposes. This
material can be procured for the simpl
hauling away and as it is the fines
/ stone hereabouts, it would make an eX
cellent macadam for the streets need
ing urgent attention. The annual re
port of eX-Secretary A. Twining wa
held for reading at the next meetin.
and the session was adjourned to NEE
at the mex regular meeting in the same
| nlaCp.

THIN PEOPLE.
How the Weight May BE increacd in
n ueaIthful Natural Manner.

All people who are thin arc not nee
essarily so from disease, il Is natural
for some to be thin, and no amount of
treatment would add an iota to their
weight, but the great majority of peo-
pie are thin because their digestion is
not perfect, their stomachs do not
thoroughly digest flesh-forming foods,
they may not have chronic dyspepsia,
but their digestion is not vigorous
enough to assimilate the food necessary
for robust health and to keep up their
weight.
For all such, the new discovery for
dyspepsia and indigestion comes as a
most welcome addition to the list of
meritorous remedies. The new dlscov-
cry referred to is Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which is not only a pleasant
and certain cure for indigestion, but
possesses the peculiar power of digest
ing flesh-forlning foods, like meat, eggs
and similar ordinary foods, so that the
increase in weight is n perfectly ma
tural process. One grain of the diges-
| tive principle in Stuart's Dyspepsia
| Tablets will digest 5000 grains of flesh
| forming food. Dr. JenniSon recently
stated that he depends altogether upon
| these tablets for the cure of dyspepsia
| and stomach troubles ard that they
not only cure the Indigestion, but in
| every case a gratifying increase In
weight was noticed, not fat, hut the
proper amount of flesh for health and
| symmetry. Dr. Harlandson speaks
highly of the tablets, not only because
they build up flesh and cure indiges
| tion, but they are absolutely safe anc
harmless, no matter what the condl
tion of the stomach and are excellen
not cnly for the ordinary dyspeptic, bu
for invalds and children.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sol,
by all druggists at so cents per packag
and trial will convince anyone o
their merits.

SOUTH SIDE,

Two young men from Pine Brook
came to the South Side Monday to
have a jolly time, Apparently their
purses were not sufficiently filled, and
they entered some places of business
securing drinks and refusing to pay
for them. They twice visited a saloon
run by a widow at the upper end Of
Cedar avenue. Not being content, how
ever, they visited the place a third
time, about o'clock in the evening
and ordered the woman to leave the
house. She ran outside and called for
help. A number of young men We're

s ,BBATH SCHOOL ENTERTAINs.


The Sabbath school class in the Ply
mouth Congregational church Sunday

gave a very fine entertainment and
social last evening. The affair was
given in the church parlors and was at
tended by a large number of persons.
Following the rendition of the pro-
CANINE refreshments consisting of ice
cream and cake were served by the
young men of the class. The pro-
grammc as carried out proved highly
entertaining and was opened with a
chorus by the class followed by a

Party Regularity.

Democrats who last year suffer.
ed themselves seduced from their
principles by the specious plea OF
regularity are acknowledging
their error and proclalmiDg their
determination to stand tor true
Democracy in future. For q
Democrat of the old school,
who reverenced the teach
ings of old.tlme Democratic states
men, it was a bitter pill to vote Tor
a man and a platform Democratic
only in name. Unfortunately,
many of the best and truest men
OF the party thought it their duty
to vote for the Chicago ticket be
cause it was obstensibly the reg =
ular Democratic ticket. and that
they were In some measure bodnd

The st auntOn Nelcs very briefly ano
foreibly reviews the situation In the
following editorial:
1T Governor O'Ferrall and Major
Daniel have proven anything very con-
clusively by their recent Kilkenny per-
formauces. it Is that both are unsafe
leaders in political matters. The former
confes.es that he voted for all the ratios
on silver without having studied tAe
question and the latter states, (and we
are bound to concede thaths is honest
in IN that he had no idea the federal
interference" plank OF the Chicago
platform was a slap in the face at CieVe-
land for sending troops to Chicago TO
ouell the railroad riots. Major Daniel
is entirely too innocent man TO be
mixed up in politics. The country rang
from one end to the other last fall
with attacks on and defenses Of
Cleveland, both sides under standing
that the railroad riots were distinctly re-
ferred to in the federal interference"
plank.
Major Daniel has said there are soms
things in the Chicago platform he would
rather had been left out. He has not
indicated what things. but perhaps this
particular plank, if eliminated, would
better square his record. Altgeld with
out doubt, slipped up on the Majors
blind side when he got in this plank"

A new Candidate for the Leglsla-

ture.
In another column appears the
announcement of Mr.. T. B. Richey,
as candidate for the Legislature,
Mr.. Richcy is not the candidate Of
any ring, clique or combination.
He dominates himself as every
American citizen has tue right to
do. He does not claim that he
comes before the public at the
solicitation ofmany thousand voters
nor does he appear before the peo-
pie az one forced by the irresistible
power Of hundreds Of admirers to
leave the more conginiaI shades oil
Of private life. He simply vaults
into the ring, as a candidate. He
is not even the nominee Of the
Sound money democrats, or any
other kind OF democrats, but he is q
Simon pure democrat, from the
crown of his head to the Soles of HE
feet. He will vote the democratic
ticket whenever h. has the OPP
portunity, but he will not support
anti-democratic principles, by
whatever name !hey maybe thrust
before him. He will tell what he
10 in favor ofand what he opposes.
If the only way to get your vote is
by deceiying you, he will never get
it. If he promises to support you
for any position, ysu may rest as
sursd that he will do it. He will
do everything which he promises or
break hame string in trying. he
wants the votes Of all who can
support him from natural love and
affectioA,or who earnestly desire the
success of the political principles
of which lie has always been a devot-
cd supporter. He is not in the
market to bay votes even ii they
are for sale at fifteen cents per
thousand. He will welcome all his
supporters with open arms, but will
promise them nothing in return ex
espt q deep and sincere admiration
OF thoir good Judgment, and a faith
ful and conscientious support OF
what he believes to be right and to
the interest of the great mass of the
people.
