The Jersey City news., 1898-06-21

one of the st-dressed women in town
announced that she had made up her
mind to go without gloves until Septem-
Der, unless for dignified occasions. For
tho rest-shopping, morning calls, trolley
rides, etc.-she had laid away all her
gloves.
She thought she was original ! told
her that she was by no means first in the
idea. / had come to the conclusion that
half the women were acting along the
same direction.
Suppose we get on a car ride down
Chestnut street and make numerical es-
innate Of the women without gloves?"
I suggested
We rode for blocks. Our decision was
that four otrts of every six women were
without gloves. This did not include the
women who never wear gloves uader any
circumstances, but those well-gowned
ones. who in winter could not walk two
city blocks with uncovered hands.
We watched coupe that stopped at a
shop door; the monogram on its panels
showed occupants OF wealth. Both the
women who stepped out wore fetching
frocks. One, a white pique skirt, with
stitched bands of yellow linen; yellow
linen shfrtwaist, perfectly made, the stock
collar Of pique; a hat OF black straw,
heaped with black chiffon rosettes and
quilts.
The other wore black lawn, the skirt
with narrow floating ruffles; the bodice
with yoke Of white tucked Swiss, the belt
Of black satin. caught with a large gold
en- buckle.

NO BRICKS YET.
Contractors Becoming Worried Over
the Delay-Ninth Avenue.

The delay in the shipment of bricks
to Contractors Blair and Kennedy has
assumed a most serious nature. The
cold weather is rapidly approaching,
already the frost has entered the ground
and the River street pave is only half
finished, while Sixth avenue or Park
Place pavements have not yet been be-
gun.
The contractors, of course, can hard
ly be blamed for the delay, still that
furnishes no consolation to the resi-
dents along the thoroughfares under
going improvements. 1t would be a
great convenience to open up the pave
ment connecting Seventh avenue sta
ton and Seventh avenue. If there are
bricks enough to finish the lower por-
tion Of River street, thereby connect
ing Seventh and Sixth avenues, it
would be a good plan to do so.
Ninth avenue. under the street de-
partment, is beginning to look more
each day like an avenue. Mrs. Tim
mons barn, the balm Of contention, as
it might appropriately he called, has
been moved the required distance off
the roadbed by the street department
men. When the street shall have un-
dergone the improvements planned, ii
will be a decided benefit to the city in
general

removed his family to Scranton last
week after a residence of thirty years
in AvoCa. Owing to the poor condition
of the coal trade. a number of resi-
dents have been obliged to leave the
town in order to procure a livelihood
elsewhere, after toiling for years to
build a home and then be unable to
rent it.
Mrs Hugh Jennings and sister, Le-
titia, left on Saturday to join the for
mcr's husband in Baltimore.
Judging from the number of articles
won by the Avoca people at the Moosic
Hose company's fair, it is evident that
we have outdone the little town in
liberality. The boys will now have
ample finances to defray their ex-
penses.

HONESDALE.

The opera house was crowded on
Thursday evening to hear Slayton's
Jubilee singers. There was a continu-
Gus applause from start to finish. They
are sure of a crowded house if they
visit Hone sdale again.
Harry W. Cade of Gallilee. Wayne
county, a member of Company *, Elev-
enth infantry regulars, is at his home
on sick furlOugh. He enlisted at Scran-
ton in June; was sent to Porto Rico;
was wounded in an engagement near
Ponce the last of July, and was brought
to the New York harbor field hospital
before being sent home.
The excursion from Hornellsville and
intermediate points, via Carbondale, TO
Honesdale on Thursday brought about
one hundred and fifteen passengers.
One of the eXcursionists to HonesdaIe
on Thursday was r.. n. Parmalee. a
business man of Elmira, y. Y. who
left Honesdale in 1854. This was his
first visit here. His father, William W.

Like a thunder cloud in a clear sky
came to the citizens of Honesdale
notice that on Jan. l the Delaware and

closed to all kinds Of traffic. This an
nouncement means much to this Lacka-
waXen valley, 1t will throw out of en-
ployment three hundred men and stop
L..
lars in Honesdale. People had antiCi-
pated the abandonment of the canal in
the near future, but had not expected
the Gravity road to go also. The home
market here consumes twenty thousand
tons Of coal annually. and with the
freight business and large passenger
travel it was supposed that the GRAY

cOnjectures as to what will be the out
come of this unwelcome deal Of the
Delaware and Hudson.
on Friday evening an enthusiastic

court house. A. II. Searle, as presiding

! vice presidents, including representa-
! tive men from all parts of the county,

! Senator Hardenburg, and warned the
| voters that the state and national is
sues were one and the same, and ap-
pealed to them to stand by the party
and the administration of President
Mckinley. The next speaker was Mr.

THE GRAVITY ROAD.

The main topic of conversation is still
the anticipated adjustment of the
Gravity railroad, the facts concerning
which have already appeared in The
Tribune. No new light has been given
on the subject, although many coniec-
lures have been made regarding it. The
abandonment of the Gravity will have
a marked effect on the Van Bergan
foundry, which does a large share of
the company's work. Pessimists are
lamenting over the order AMI say that
the city will be irreparably injured if
it is carried out, while there are some
who believe the notice will never he
executed. However, in time Carbon
dale will recover from the "put-hack"
and the optimistic citizens are already
predicting things which will consider
ably brighten the dark aspect things
have at present.

FOOT BALL SATURDAY.
t. Thomas College and the Cottage
Athletic Club on the Gridiron.

Saturday was an ideal foot ball day
and not a few persons took advantage
of the fair weather and witnessed the
game between the Cottage Athletic
club and the eleven representing st.
Thomas college, of Scranton, at Alumni
park
The game was as good a contest as
+ yet been seen in this city this sea-
son. The teams were almost evenly
matched in weight. Scranton probably
being slightly heavier than the home
team. The first half was a fine eX-
hibition of foot ball, and resulted in
neither side scoring n point.
The second half was characterized
with pickering. owing to the inability
of Referee Cuff, who confessed ignor-
ance of the rules. The game ended with
the score S to 0 in SCrantOns favor,
although they had to struggle for every
inch of the territory they gained. Har-
per's playing was a feature. HudEins
and Johnson also played fine game
for the home team, while O'Hara,
Scranton's fullback. distinguished HIM
self. The teams lined up as follows:
arbondale-McLean, left end; cum
mings, left tackle; Higgins, left guard; ;
Kane. centre: McAndrew, right guard
McHalc. right tackle Hanson, right
end; Hope, left halfback; Forbes. right

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
DO Not lie Alarmed, but Look for
the Cause.

Heart troubles at least among Amer
leans, are certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American
business life, it is more often the re-
suit Of weak stomachs, of poor digcs-
tion.
Real organic heart disease is incur
able; but not one case in a hundred OF
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches
of the same great nerves, the Sympa-
thetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is af-
| fccted by that form Of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food; there is a feel
ing Of oppression and heavlness in the
chest caused by pressure Cf the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs,
interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery. which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
/ trouble is to improve the digestion and
! to insure the prompt assimilation of
| food.
This can best he done by the regular
use after meals of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation, like
| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
he found at most drug stores and which
/ C1ntains valuable. harmless digestive
elements in pleasant, convenient
| form.
| IT is safe to saw that the regular per-
| sstent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
| let's at meal time will cure any form Of
| stomach trouble except cancer of the
| stomach.
