1t is essential to the well being of the
physical economy that the kidneys and
bladder should be eternally active, that
they should never go "off duty" If they
do, the kidneys fail to secrete from the
blood the watery element and the i'm
purities that should be thrown off by the
bladder, Ind both organs suffer in or.
ganic health from their inaction, and
incur dangerous meladies. Among these
are Brights disease of the kidneys,
diabetes, retention of the urine, gravel,
dropsy, etc. These are no trihes, but
obstinate diseases, developing rapidly
and terminating too often fatally. To
prevent or check them, the safest and
most effect1al means is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which gives heslthful
impetus to, but never excites the renal
organs, like the fiery, unmedicated stimu-
lants of commerce. Malaria, dyspepsia,
constipation, liver trouble, nervousness
and debility are remedied by the genial
medicine, useful ia convslescence and old

whose maiden name was Susan Mel
vile, was a native Of Nova Scotia and
was of Irish and American descent.
William Connell did not have many
advantages in his boyhood, for his par
ents, though Industrious and worthy,
were not possessed of means beyond
their ordinary wants. Nevertheless,
he made good use of his meager oppor-
tunities and acquired a sufficient
knowledge Of the usual English branch
es of education to form reliable foun-
dation upon which to build in later
years, In 1914 his parents moved from
Nova Scotia to Pennsylvania. settling
in LuZerne county. Here William, who
accompanied them, found employment
as a driver boy in the coal mines. BY
perseverance and the exercise OF nat
ural sagacity Congressman Connell
kept pace with the general Develop
ment Of the country and in time be-
came a coal operator. His success has
been gratifying in that it has devel-
oped public spirit and the generous
character Of the man to a marked des
gree. Mr.. Connell has been identified
with almost every business enterprise
OF importance that has been cstab.
lished in Scronton during tho last dc.
cade and his liberality in charitable
channels has been almost without limit
His political career has been bril-
liant from the beginning, and though
one Of tho new members Of the Fifty
nth congress he became one of tho
leaders during his first session and took
active part in the general legislation.
Congressman Connell is man OF
modest tastes; is easily approached.
and Is a characteristic representative
of the true type of self made men.

The hotel accommodation OF Scran-

account of it's superior hotel accommo-

Scranton is the county seat of Lack
awanna county, and its bench and bar
is acknowledged to be as able and as
learned as any in the commonwealth.
From the bar of this county have emln-
ated many able jurists. Recently two
OF its number were elected to the SUI
perior court and one other appointed
to ill a vacancy on the Supreme court
bench. The county buildings are of the
finest. The court house Is a large and
imposing structure, built of native
mountain stone. 1t stands in the CEN
tire of a beautiful square, In the midst
of many young maple trees, one of
which was planted by the world-re-
nowned and lamented statesman, Hon.
James G.. Blaine. On two corners OF
the square stands the monuments OF
George Washington and Columbus A
movement Is now on foot to erect one
on another corner, 10 the memory of
that brave and noble soldier, General
Sheridan.
The county prison buildings are built
of the same kind Of stone as the Court
house, and are on the most substan-
tial order. The Court house has lately
been enlarged for the purpose OF in
creasing court facilities.
The Superior Court OF the State sits
in Scranton four weeks during the
month of January each year, and in
March the United States District and
Circuit Courts for the western district
of Pennsylvania hold their sessions
here. These bodies use the large and
commodiouS rooms designed for this
purpose in the Federal building.
Scranton hasnine banks OF exchange,

Is visited during the summer season
by many thousands OF city people from
nearly every state in the union. This

families during the summer season.
There is also ample hotel accommoda-

wheelmen, and during the riding sea-

A little further east is Mount Pocono

on the Erie &c Wyoming Valley
railroad, sixteen miles from the city,
is Lake Ariel, a grand body of water

many fine cottages owned by Scran-
tonians. on the bosom of the lake can
be seen numerous steam yachts, naph-

Trains to this popular resort run hour

ties, is an everyday occurrence.
An equal distance from the city, to
the west, IS Lake Winola, whose wat

Scranton is surrounded on all sides
with delightful summer resorts within
easy access. During the summer sea-
son excursions are run on all of the
railroads, and many take advantage
Of the reduced rates of fare to enjoy Il

where fishing is one of the profitable
pastimes. To the north, on the Della

one Of the highest points in the state,

THE BOARD OF TRADE BUILDING
In this brief article it would be i'm
possible to even refer to any one of the
many matters of public Importance
that this Board of Trade has been
identified with. 1t would take infinite
ly less space to mention those that it
has not been instrumental in promot-
ing. Suffice TO call the attention of the
citizens of this city to the magnificent
building lately erected on Linden street.
1t is by far the finest building in the
city, and will stand for years as a
monument to the energy and zeal of
the members of the Scranton Board Of
Trade. 1t win give to Scranton a place
among the important cities of the
country, very few Of which can boast
Of such an imposing and substantial
Board Of Trade building.
AS has already been stated, Scran-
ton is the chief city OF the anthracite
coal regions, and a brief history of the
great development of the coal mining
industry will no doubt prove interest
ing.
This is the largest anthracite coal
basin In the world, and it's coal pro-
duction has been enormous. 1t COM

1895 the production was 22OOO,OOO tons.
No further comment is necessary to

exactly reversing the conditions. The
Scranton Board Of Trade does not be-

proved disastrous, not only to those
with a pecuniary interest in the in
dustry, but to the city or town in

to local affairs. 1t has to do with ma
tional questions. It's endorsement Is

as It means so much to the future Of
Scranton, reference is herein made to
Il, utilizing the vast amount OF inert
energy stored in the enormous culm
banks that adorn the valley and noun
tain side. This question was taken up
by the Scranton Board of Trade some
three years ago. The subject was treat
ed in an intelligent manner; thorough
experiments were made, with the re-
suit that nearly every Industry in the
city is using culm for steam purposes
with very successful results There is
however, a more economical way of
utilizing this waste product, by con-
verting It into producer gas. Mr.. J.
Gardner Sanderson, of this city, claims
to be able, by his improved producer,
to make and store 100000 cubic feet OF
the best producer was from one ton of
culm, just as 1t comes from the pile.
Fifty cubic feet Of good gas is sufficient
to run a gas engine of one horse power
for one hour; so from one ton of culm
costing not more than twenty-five cents
at the plant, enough gas can be pro-
duced to run q 2S0-horse power gas en-
gine ten hours. A company Is now
formed for the purpose of manufactur-
Ing these producers, that will no doubt
eventually convert these unsightly
culm piles into a power that will be so
cheap that the water wheel will be-
come an expensive luxury compared
with 1t.
The manufacture of steel rails is one
of the most important industries in the
city, and this sketch would not be COM
plete without reference to 1t. Scranton
has two large steel-rail mills, owned
and operated by the Lackawanna Iron
&c Steel Company and when in full op-
Grafton employ 5000 men. The output is
one thousand tons per day. At the
South Works OF this company, rails are
made four lengths each, or one hund-
red and twenty feet. The light from the
blast furnaces at night illumines the
sky and can be seen for miles up and
down the valley. The output of the
Scranton mills is about one-third of
the entire product Of Great Britain,
and one-sixth of that of the United
States.
