Olga Nethersole is beyond question the
greatest English speaking, emotional actress
of the present day. Everyone who witnesses
the tremendous expenditure of nervous energy
incident to her wonderful performances, re-
alizes the excessive nervous strain and tension
incurred and the consequent loss of nerve
force and physical strength. No one, there
fore, is more capable of knowing what most
quickly restores and recuperates loss of nerv-
GUS energy and power than she, and no one is
more competent to advise those whose nerves
are weak, who are ill, out of order or run
down in nerve or physical strength, just how
to be restored to health and vigor. She tells
everybody to use DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, for she knows that this
grand medicine is the best thing in the world
to make people well and strong.
Miss Nethersole says Eel have used DR..

have % days, OF four weeks each, and

heating and building work had been
under one contract.
Fred Forebaugh was appointed JAM
itor of No. 5 annex at a salary of $40
per month.
NEW SEATS ORDERED.
Chairman Davis of the building COM
mittee moved that 500 single seats to
replace old ones now in use be pur-
chased and that the cost be taken from
the labor material and repair fund.
Mr.. Wormser called Mr.. Welsh to the
chair and opposed the motion on the
grounds that the fund in question
would, from present indications, be in
sufficient to last out the present school
year. Mr. Casey, also, offered vigorous
opposition. An agent representing the
make of desk It was proposed to pur-
chase. was given the privilege of the
floor and after being heard the motion
of Mr.. Davis was adopted, number
Of the members not voting.
The contract for furnishing shades.
ETC., for Nos. 6, 10, 26 and 2S buildings
was awarded to p. McCrea & Co, at
the price named in their proposal,
$596.3S.
On recommendation of the supply
committee the contract with ii. III.
Beidleman for furnishing pencils, was
cancelled, and was awarded to Rey-
nolds Bros, the next highest bidder,
whose bid was $340.
Mr.. Welsh remarked that the build
ing committee had not reported any
action toward securing a 100-foot flag
pole for the flag that had been offered
by the Patriotic Order Sons of America
for the High school building, and he
suggested that the secretary be direct
ed to purchase two 5O-foot poles and
have them spliced and put in place.
The timber authorities on the board
did not think a spliced pole of such
great height would stand the strain up
on it. The proposition of a local agent
to furnish a steel pole, inches at the
base and four inches at the top, was
set aside on account of the cost and
the building committee was directed to
procure a single pole 100 feet in height.
The teachers committee was direct
ed to prepare q schedule for night
schools and to report at the next meet
ing. For night schools, $4,000 has been
appropriated.
While Mr.. Notz was commenting up
on an alleged mistake in the designa-
tion of the number of primary grades
for No. 10 school several members left
the room and the meeting was with
out a quorum. A sufficient number re-
turned from the stairs and hallway
after receiving word that the payment
of a number of overdue insurance bills
would have to be made.
The pay roll of S15,234.74 for teachers
and $136.36 for substitutes was ap-
proved.
1t was 9.45 o'clock when the meeting
adjourned.

AN HEIRESS WANTED
Miss Annie Martin, Of Philadelphia, Is in
This City Looking for Miss
Annie McGettigan.

Miss Annie Martin. of Philadelphia, is
in this city trying to locate Miss Anne
McGettigan, who, it is supposed, is
resident here. Miss Martin has informa-
tion which would be of advantage to Miss
McGettigan. The last heard of the lady
was in 1890, when she addressed letter
to relatives in Ireland saying that she
was then at Scranton. Miss Martin will
receive all communications addressed to
the general delivery, Postoffice.
The above appears in the advertising
columns Of The Tribune today. A re-
porter last evening saw Miss Martin
at the Hotel Jermyn where she has
engaged a suite of rooms during her
stay in the city. Miss Martin is mid
die aged woman of marked refinement.
She wore black, unralieved by any
other color. Her manner showed much
earnestness and though she raid that
the advantageous information" which
she wished to impart to Miss McGetti-
gan, concerned a. small fortune left in
1895 by a relative in Ireland, yet it
may be supposed that there is some
thing of greater significance behind
this.
THE fortune" she said, sis a matter
of some $50 pounds or $3.50 in Ameri-
can money. lnlS Is 10 De ulNlueu De-
tween myself. a cousin and Miss Nc
Gettigan. / do not care to go to much
into detail in regard to my quest as
notice in your directory that there are
several McGettigan families in this
city"
1t was learned that Miss Anne Nc
Gettigan is about "A years Of age and
in 1890 she was engaged as a seam
stress in this city. In the above men,
toned year Miss McGettigan sent a
letter to relatives in Ireland but the
letter was lost and her address for
gotten.
This is the only clue at the disposal
of Miss Martin. She admitted that she
has made one trip to Ireland in the in
terest of the fortune. This was last
summer and she learned that the
money could not be divided without To-
eating Miss McGettigan first.
Miss Martin will remain in this city
until Wednesday and during her stay
she will prosecute the search fer Miss
McGettigan with every possible ener-

FATHER MATHEW DAY.
hazletOn Demonstration Yesterday Was
Not as Elaborate as Those OF
Former Years.

October 10, the anniversary of the
birth of the Apostle of Temperance,
Rev Theobald Mathew, falling on Sun
day, the celebration in this diocese
was observed yesterday. 1t took the
form of a general parade of all the
societies of the diocese and was held
in Hazleton-the first general parade
held there since the memorable Mud
Run disaster of nine years ago.
Only two societies from this end of
the diocese attended-the st. Paul
Pioneer corps of the West Side with
thirty-two men and st. Leo's Battalion.
of the same place with sixty-eight men.
They formed the third division of the
parade the St. Paul's having the
right of line. They left here at $40
a. m. on the Delaware and Hudson
road arriving in Hazleton at II o'clock.
Returning they left Hazleton at $50
and arrived here at 1920.
The parade was quite a creditable
one despite the small attendance of
the Lackawanna members of the un-
ion. Rev. NJ. j. C'Rourke, of Halle
ton, was grand marshal and John Nc
Merreman was commander of the first
division which contained the societies
of the Hazleton district. Thomas G..
Kelly commanded the second division
composed of the societies of Wilkes
Barre and surrounding towns.
NJ. j. McHugh, of st. Leo's was COM
mander of the third division. The
parade started at l o'clock and after
passing through the principal streets
dispersed at Halle Park where the
Hazleton societies conducted a picnic.
The rain started to come down soon
after the parade was over and con-
tinued to fall during a part of the
afternoon.
There was to have been speechmak-
ing at the park but the speakers fail
ed to put in an appearance. This
compiled with the failure of the Lacka-
wanna societies to attend the parade
made the Hazleton temperance men
anything but pleased and they are
likely to be heard from at the next
convention.

Post No. of the Volunteers of
of friends which filled the First
Presbyterian church last evening
listened to Colonel Holimond, secre-
tary to General Ballington Booth, and
A. d C. Smyth. of New York city,
who sings hymns better than any per-
son heard in this city for a number of
years. The two visitors were here as
a fulfllment of the programme of
tour which has already taken in the
cities of the western coast and the
central part of the country.
They will before reaching New York
visit several other cities enroute. Last
night a very interesting service was
conducted. Captain Hunter of Post
and his wife with the two visitors
occupied seats on the platform. Colon
el Holimond in a very fine address
endeavored to further the work of the
volunteers. He thanked the church
people who had so kindly placed the
edifice at the disposal of the volun-
teers and this led him to q timely
discussion of the attitude of his or
ganization to the christian religion.
Colonel Holimond, in part, said:
1T IS AN AUXILIARY.
1.-THE relation of the Volunteers to
the Christian churches is not a state
of hostility. 1t Is rather an auxiliary.
We are doing their work. And one of
the primal principles of our organiza-
tion is that we should avoid the build
ing of a new sect or denomination.
There are too many denominations al
ready" said Colonel Holmond. 1--WE
are in favor of unifying the creeds. If
the Protestant church would unite in
so strong an organization as the Ro-
man church they would do more work.
We want not only to be considered an
auxiliary to the church but, better
still, a part of the church; not outside,
but inside"
Colonel Holimond said that the Vol
unteerS do not ask a convert to sacri-
flee his church membership. They
rather encouraged his membership in a
regular church. He told how that fea-
ture was Q drawback to the work of
the Salvation army which, he said.
calls for a complete surrender of
church membership by a convert. "A
Volunteer" he said, reserves the right
to retain his membership and we aim
to place a convert in the keeping of
some warm church under a godly pas
tor.
During the service Captain Smyth
sang several hymns. He possesses a
sweet and strong voice and sings with
dramatic gesticulaton which is effect
i've.
There was congregational singing
and a collection for the benefit of the
local post was taken up.
