The Bachelors ball might be given
tonight so far as the arrangements for
the big annual social event are con-
cerned. The committee has put in
more hard early work than has any
committee of previous years and has
closed all contracts which have to do
with the affair
Although the invitation list has been
relieved of scores Of names, the in
dicatons are that there will be as
many dancers and spectators as in for
mer years, as the names eXpunged are
those of persons who We're sent invita-
tions simply out of courtesy and at
the request of we'll known patrons.
The ball will be given at the Ly-
ceum theater on the night of Friday,
Dec. so. Oppenheim's orchestra, OF
Wilkes Barre and Bauer's band will
supply the music. The decorations will
be by Siebecker and Watkins, Clark,
the florist and Fuhrman. Holland,
of Germantown, will cater. The COM
mittee is composed of Paul b. Belin,
chairman; John II. Brooks, +. G. Full
Ter, Worth Scranton and A. T.. Hunt,
Jr.
Following are the names of the pat
ronesses: Mrs. James Archibald. Mrs.
Henry Belin, jr., Mrs. G. II. Welles,

NEW FLOOR MADE.
At a cost of from $3.50 to S115 q dane
ing floor. practically new, will be made
to replace the floor used for the balls
of previous years. The old floor, which
was never first class, became worse
after each years use until it became
a cause of real protest from the dam
I GERS. While the crash, of course. les
! sened it's unevenness, it lacked firm
| ness and because so uneven on its sur
face that the committee has decided to
make the floor for the coming ball alb
solutely perfect. 1t is one of the ball
preparations for which no contract will
he let; the new floor will be construct
| ed under the personal supervision OF
members of the committee.
The invitations will be issued next
| Friday or Saturday, the 18th or 10th.
| Aside from the Courtesy" names al
| ready mentioned, chiefly, of persons
| from out of town, there will also be
| drup1 ed the names of many Scranton
| people whose presence had been eX-
| pected at the balls of the past, but
| whose presence has always been lack
ing. In place of all these dropped
| names there will be new ones, both
of Scranton people and of people who
| reside out of the city.
| With each ball there has been q
| pronounced realization that the enor.
| nous expenses could never have beer
met but for the attendance of persons
| from abroad. Now that the ball. al
| ways known and talked about outside
the city, has come to such great prom
inence, the patronage of other thar
Scranton people will be largely relied
| upon to assure the promoters agains
! a deficit.

TO CONSTRUCT BONES.

Quite Il source of revenue will be OBJ
tanned from the sale of twelve extra
boxes. They will be erected on the
stage, six on a side, but will not en-
croach on the dancing space. In such
a large hall it has been observed that
many groups of dancers, spectators
and chaperOns prefer to cOngregate
separately in the seats of the orchestra
circle or elsewhere within ready access
to the dancing floor. For this purpose
the regular boxes have not been Who'll
ly suitable. 1t is believed, on this ac-
count, that the extra boxes will find
a ready sale. 1t does not mean eXclu-
siveness, for a general mingling could
not be expected among a jam of five or
six hundred persons.
There will be no cessation in the mu-
sic. As soon as the band or orchestra
has finished a selection the other will
begin. The only stops will be the few
seconds necessary for the leaders of the
two music organizations TO get their
respective players started, so from the
first sound of the instruments early in
the night there will be swing of mu-
sic until the close of the last dance
number.
FINALLY, To those acquainted with the
ball" gone by and who know of all the
Getailed plans for the approaching one,
there comes the belief that after the
night of the 3Oth those who will have
been privileged to attend will give a
verdict that the ball was the best Of
them all"

Difficult to InfiIct Pain.

The Doctor smoked slowly on his
cigar. 1t was plain that he had some
thing to say.
II was thinking Of my early college
days." he said, land Of a peculiar in
cident that happened very soon after
began my studies. The professor was
instructing the class one day on the
corpuscles Of the blood. In order to get
some fresh blood for microscopical ex-
animation each student was ordered to
tie rag around his forefnger and strike
the top Of the finger suddenly with a
needle with sufficient force to draw
blood. Seems easy, doesn't it? Do you
know there wasn't q man in the class
that did it at tho first attempt. It was
funny to watch some Of those embryo
surgeons poise the needle with a deter
mined air snd launch it to within a
hair space Of the flesh and there stop
dead. Others tried to force the needle
in slowly, but paused very shortly,
with an expression of pain common
surate to that Of an amputation. my
self gave it up as bad job. and hacked
cavity in my thumb with penknife,
and found it easier.
1.-THE fact that we were very young
and inexperienced is no explanation for
this popularity, as have since found
by personal test Almost everybody ex-
hibited the same repugnance to inflict-
ing pain in that manner. Try it your.

Trouble Over a FOrew oman.

Marlboro. Mass, Aug. 25.-The Mid
dlesex shoe factory, owned by Rios &
Hutchins and employing 275 hands has
shut down for an indefinite period. The
cause of this action is a strike of the
stitchers, who left their work Saturday,
Aug. Is, and who refuse to return as
long as the forewoman of their depart
ment, Mrs. Robert Henderson, retains
that position. The strikers claim that
Mrs Henderson was tyrannical to an
unbearable degree in the discharge of
her duties. Since the strikers went out
the remainder of the help have been
finishing their work. This having been
completed the firm decided to close the
factory until the matter is settled.

Both parties have made their nominal

policy if elected. Both of the candi-
dates are in favor of amendments to the

The Democratic candidate says that
he would endeavor to have the city
judge elected by the people rather than
appointed by the governor. The Re-
publican candidate advocates changing
the charter so that the city conncil will

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one purpose.
namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as
such il Is not liable to any form Of disease ex-
cept by one or two ways. The first way is
from imperfect action of the kidneys. The
second way Is from careless local treatment of
other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy Kidneys Is
the chief canse of bladder troubles. So the
womb, like the bladder, was created for one
purpose, and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except In rare
cases. 1t Is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or in
convenience manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often, by mis-
take, attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided. To find
out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty
four hours; sediment or settling indicates
kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of DR.. Klmer's Swamp

repeatedly by both Engishmen and
Americans to express his opinions
Hitherto he has refused, and his letter
which Major Pond has just received, Is
the first time he has given his views on
the subject The letter Is as follows:
"ArgelesCazoust, France.
"My Dear Major-With regard to this
Anglo American alliance. it is a good
thing and a natural thing for both ma
lions to come together and shake hands
and make a LEAGUE Of friendship. but
the necessity for that is not imperative
on either side. England is at peace with
the world though she frets herself now
and then America has her enemy
Spain-at her mercy, and nobody is 60
ing to interfere with her Where is tho
need for this hurry?
Has No Prejudice.
''Then. naturally, having passed the
impressionable period of my life in
America and born in Britain having an
English wife and home, I feel able to
see trif1e clearer than some of those
who are all American or English. I
have not particle of prejudice, though
my duty lies on this side.
MY opinion Is that we must not bc
precipitate. The two nations are grav-
itating together, and true friendship
cannot be forced. 1t Is a slow process,
requiring time. There are many Amer
leans who have not thought on the sub
ject. There are many English who can
not entertain the idea. If such people
are spoken to about the alliance. they
are apt to say things that neither the
kindly American nor the kindly Eng
lish would like to hear. No! Wisdom
suggests we leave the feeling to grow
and solidify.
IF either country were in distress.
that would be the proper time to
breathe more life into that spirit OF
friendship and kindness which we
know exists and bring the reserved and
proud people together, but today there
is no necessity for either nation to
think practically about the matter. One
is fat and proud, with it's Bank of Eng.
land and its big navy. The other is in
CULVER of delight over Manila and
Santiago and it's glorious heroes. Dew.
ey, Schley and Shafter.
1.-The time is not suitable for speaking
of alliances. If you Americans come out
of that continent and take your share
of the old worlds concerns, you will
know better what an alliance means.
