oKAroRlo. THAT'S THE THING.
Psotosser Ramsby suggests ono In
stead Of Lieht Opera.

Mention of the fact In The Tribune
that the time Is ripe for another comic
opera by local talent which so cred
itabiy sang the "Pirates of Penzance,"
iChiipes of Normandy" and "Priscil-
la, u has stirred up interest In the mat
ter and Professor Rumsby writes the
Leader as fellews
,In reading the account Of the pro-
auctien ef the opera Priscilla" In
wilkes Barre as published In last
nights Leader 1t suggested TO me what
/ think is a better way to assist any
institution or cause that the public are
interested in; /, e. to perform an Ora
terie by one of the great composers.
1t would need four principal singers
or soloists, q combination of all the
church choirs, and anyone able to sing
to make up a large chorus. To this
can be added as large an orchestra as
obtainablc, and the organ II the per-
formance is held in a church.
"The cost of music and place to
hold rehearsals would not be great
There are no special costumes to pro-
vide as in case of other performances
I think any city could find all 1t needs
at home to render such performance
in a manner gratifying to all.
"I would like to see this tried in
Carbondale. / think it would be sue
cess, and perhaps lead to the establish
ment of q permanent chorus or Choral
society as is now found in some other
cities"

terest from the Scranton Supply and
Machinery company was subject to
much discussion, but finally, on mo-
ton, was rejected. The burgess re-
ported that he had made collection to
the amount of s77.75 for the past six
months. Proposals were received from
parties offering to furnish a team of
horses for conveying hose carriage to
fires. William p. Lawler was awarded
the contract, he being the lowest bid
der, at the rate of s75 per year. George
+. Oehmen, representing the Came
well fire alarm system, stated the APP
paratus would be in readiness for a
test by Saturday evening. There are
ten boxes to be used, located as fol-
lows: Box 16, Kelly's hotel box 1s,
Farrel's corner; box 20. Jordan's cor
ner; box 90. Lackawanna street, at
the intersection of Delaware street;

THAT HOSE QUESTION.
Local Agent Vaunan Hears from the
Manufacturers.

II. NJ. Vannan has received several
letters from the Fabric Fire company
of New York relative to the recent test
of their hose made in this city and 1T
is expected that their representative,
Charles Sickleman viii be here today.
The company expresses the utmost
confidence in the ability of the hose to
stan, the required test and stands
ready 1t claims, to replace any section
that gives out when put to the maxi
mum pressure guaranteed by them.
They, however, in their private cores
pondence to Mr.. Nannan express the
opinion that it is mistake to sub
ject every section of hose to so high
a pressure as the extreme expansion
takes much of the life out of the rub
ber.
This is simply private expression
o: their views to the local representa-
tive as they feel certain that in any
case the hose will stand the stress Of
service during the term covered by
their five years guarantee.

A PECULIAR FACT.
Thousands OF People Heve Dyspepsia
in Its Worst form and Do Not
Know H..

A weak stomach is the cause of about
nine-tenths of all disease yet in most
cases the wrong thing is treated and
the true cause overlooked.
This is because a weak digestion pro-
duces symptoms resembling nearly
every disease because II weakens and
disturbs the action of every nerve and
organ in the body; poor digestion
causes heart trouble, kidney troubles,
lung weakness and especially nervous
break down or nervous prostration, the
nerves cannot stand the wear and tear
unless generously fed by well digested
wholesome food.
Keep the digestion good and no one
need fear the approach of disease.
Mrs. II. NJ. Lee, pf Rochester, N. Y,
writes: For the sake of suffering hui
manity I want to say that from child
had very weak stomach, threw up
my food very often after eating and
after a few years nervous dyspepsia
resulted and for more than twenty
years ! have suffered inexpressibly.
l tried many physicians and adver-
tised remedies with only temporary re-
lief for nervous dyspepsia and not un-
til l commenced taking Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets last September, six
months ago, have been free from suf-
fering caused by the condition of my
nerves and stomach; in short, chronic
nervous dyspepsia.
1 have recommended Stuarts Dyspep-
sia Tablets to many of my friends and
now 1 want in public way to say they
are the safest, pleasantest and 1 believe
surest cure for stomach and nerve
troubles. 1 write my honest opinion
and I will gladly answer any letter of
inquiry at any time and feel that I
am in my small way, helping on a good
cause.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is not a
patent medicine, but they contain only
the fruit salts, digestive acids and pep
tones necessary to help the weak stom-
ach to promptly and thoroughly digest
food.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at so cents for full sized pack
age and anyone suffering from nervous
dyspepsia, sour stomach, headaches,
acdity, gases, belching. etc. will find
them not only a quick relief but radi-
cal cure.
Send to Stuart Co. Marshall, Mich,
for little book describing cause and
cure of stomach troubles giving symp-
toms and treatment of the various
forms of indigestion.

men of the days gone by. In 1860 women
first entered the field as competitors
with men in outdoor games. Up till the
end of the forties the old hackney
coaches, with straw in the bottom for
the passengers feet, with drivers clad
in seven-caped coats, and with their
miserable jades, still crowled about the
London streets. 1t was told of a certain
beau that he arrived at dinner with a
straw hanging to his shoe. He apoli-
gized for this, saying his carriage had
not returned from his wife's funeral
and he had been compelled to come in
a hackney coach The cabs were painted
yellow, and the drivers We're perched
on little boxes at the side, instead of
as now, at the back. These were not or
long duration. and were soon super
seded by the four-wheeler and the ham
som cab. Mail coaches, of course, were
still running to all places to which the
railroads had not yet penetrated. In
1887, a year of great severity, the mails
were carried from Canterbury to Dover
in sleighs. Omnibuses were few, with
straw in the bottom. The lowest fare
was sixpence, and in them never was
a lady seem"

From the Cleveland Leader

From the Cleveland Leader.
Delaney Wallngford hesitated with
his hand upon the knob of the door
to the private office. He was about to
ask Henry Faversham for the hand of
his beautiful daughter. For a moment
the young man was inclined to procras-
tinate, but he drew himself together at
last, and walked in.
The rich man received him kindly,
and asked him to sit down. Before
Wallingford had begun upon the sub
iect that was nearest his heart. how
ever, the voice of Mrs. Faversham was
heard In the outer office, and her hus-
band requested his visitor to step into
an adjoining room until the lady had
got through with him.
Look here!" said the mother of the
only girl that Delaney Wallingford
had ever loved, as she rushed into her
husbands presence want you TO give
an account of yourself! You didn't get
home until long after the hour / set
for you last night, and you have a gull
ty look. Who's that young woman out
there in the front onlce-that brazen
thing with clothes that are too rich
for any working girl to wear? Where
I'm going to go along with you! Here,
I need $3.50 for Christmas presents.
Endorse this check. Let me see those
letters in that pigeon-hole! You're up
TO something, Henry Faversham; and
In. going to find out what it Isl Dis
| charge that girl out there, and get a
homely one! I'll be down here again
tomorrow to see whether you have
obeyed my orders or not. When you
get home tonight-and see that you're
on time-I'Il have some more to say
| tn YOU. Remember, / expect you to
come to Murkie's for lunch. / haven't
| time to talk to you, this morning.
| Give me those letters you have in your
| pocket"
One of her lady friends was waiting
| for her outside in the carriage. so she
had to leave him long before she had
finished her remarks.
When Mr. Faversham was alone
| again Delaney Wallingford returned
and sat down in front of the benevo-
lent looking old gentleman and asked
him to proceed with the business in
hand
Your daughter, Gladys" the young
man said-''we love each other, have
| come TO ask you for her.
There was deep pity in the look that
Henry Faversham bestowed upon hiH
| visitor and, after a long silence, he
said:
| "rve always had sort of liking for
you. I've thought you were a pretty
sensible sort of chap. You have heard
what was said in here few moments
| ago, didn't you?"
| Delaney confessed that he had heard
It all.
| well, all right, then. My conscience
| is clear. Take her, and may the Lord
have mercy on your soul. Her mother
was sweet and timid once!"
| When they shook hands Delaney
| Wallingford saw tears in the old mans
/ eyes.
