WHAT OTHERS SAY.
The Words of Friends Are Genuine q
aud Reliable.

It is easy for people to talk about them
selves, and state what they may have
done, but II Is far better to have other
people speak for you. The words which
follow are the frank expressions of peo-
pie who know of what they speak.
Rev. VIM. w. Whitney, of Linlithgo, N.
y, says: II have been afflicted more or
have had pneumonia three times and
have been troubled with bronchial and
catarrhal trouble of the throat. Two
years ago had the grip, which ran into
catarrhal pneumonia. While In this con-
dttion began taking something of which
! had heard much, and am rejoiced to say
that l havo been practically cured by the
use or Dufy.s pure malt whiskey."
Mr.. John *. Chase, Amesbury, Mass,
says: For some six years past my wife
has been suffering from nervous prostra-
tion. For years she was troubled with
insomnia and NOTHING recommended by
the most eminent physicians would in
duce sleep Under the advice of physi-
cans she recently tried Duffy's malt
whiskey In small quantities and with the
most satisfactory results. While Mrs.
temperance principles and consistent in
practice she has no hesitation in recon-
mending to fnvalids who need a gentle
Stimulant Duffys pure malt whiskey,"
II. Z. Avia, of the Brooklyn association
Tor improving the condition of the poor,
says; Il have used Duffy's malt whlskey
for the past two years, having suffered
from severe headaches and nervous pros
tration. | have been very much relieved
by. the use of the whiskey and have
weight"
The above statements speak for them
selves.

A GOOD INVESTMENT,
superintendent of schools TayIor's
suggestion We're Received.

10 insure full attendance Of county
school directors at the very helpful an
nual meetings held in conjunction with
the county institute the state school
authorities have interested themselves
in bill to provide for paying the ex-
penses, or a portion at least, of such
directors as may give their attendance
to their meetings.
The project was suggested by Super
intendent j. G.. Taylor, of the Lacka-
wanna county schools, in his last re-
port to State Superintendent N. c.
Schaeffer. AS he set it forth:
These organizations are doing a large
amount of good. Directors from all the
districts of the county have an opportun-
ity to come together and discuss Dues
lions OF school policy, methods of man
agement, new school laws, etc. And as
these meetings are usually held at the
sane time as the county teachers insti-
tute, the directors have also the advan-
tagc OF hearing able speakers from abroad
discuss modern methods of teaching. But
while these associations have done and
are doing much to advance the cause uf
education, much more might be DONE #
conditions We're different. The chief i'm
pediment to the complete success of our
directors associations Is the difficulty Of
securing a full attendance. 1t is thought
that If some method could he devised for
meeting all necessary expenses of the di-
rectors while attending these conven-
tions, that the attendance would be al
most perfect, as that of the teachers is at
the county institute. If directors are will
ing to give their time in promoting the
work of education, 1T does not seem that
they ought to be required or allowed to
pay the necessary expenses incurred in
the discharge of official duties out of their
own funds.
DR.. Schaeffer gave the idea his
hearty approval and forthwith had it
inserted prominently among the topics
upon which he invites discussion.
Wherever there has been an expression
on the matter the sentiment was en-
Enthusiastically favorable and most like
ly it will be at the earliest opportunity
submitted for legislative consideration.

REFEREE SAM AUSTIN.
lie Will Regulate the Judge- BARLEY
Boxing Contest.

Sam C. Austin, of New York, will
referee the Judge BARLEY boxing con-
test in this city next Monday night.
This information was telegraphed to
Scranton yesterday by Jack Skally,
matchmaker for the American Sport
ing club and Judges manager.
Austin is probably the best known
referee of toXing in the cou try Ge rye
Siler, of Chicago. excepted, and it is
probable that he has decided more
bouts of International interest than has
the famous Chicagoan. The selection
of Austin is no reflection on the abil-
ity of Pat Murphy, of this city, the
regular referee of the American Sport
ing club. BARLEY objected to Murphy
on account of his being a close friend
of Judges. The latter was perfectly
willing that Austin should preside over
the contest 1t is probable, however,
that Murphy will referee the prelim-
mary between Joe Allen and Toby
Gardner, although they can have Aus
tin if they want him.

to his views upon the subject Of
drink as a factor in domestic
troubles as follows:
II have disposed of 80 divorce
cases this term. OF the fifty cases
in which evidence was taken, five
out o. nine were the result of
drink and cruelty induced by
drink; the other four, gross neg

democratic doctrines. The other
spea kers were Messrs. Payne and
Iewadski, and by courtesy, Mr.
Light, the populist candidate,
