prevails at all times. The proprietor.
Mr.. f.. ]. Jifkins, is we'll known to
the business men and workingmen of
Scranton, having resided in the Etec-
trio city during the greater portion of
his life. Mr. Jifkins for many years
conducted successfully a fine livery
stable on Spruce street, and was favor
ably known for the promptness with
which his patrons were served. The es-
tablshment Of the trolley car system,
which connected the surrounding towns
with Scranton, a few years ago, had
paralyzing effect on the livery bust
ness of the city and forced many o.
those engaged in the enterprise to seel
other occupations. MIR. Jifkins wa

hospitality all agree in saying that h

Virgins sodalty of st. Roses church.
At a meeting of the sodality held Sun

a sitting room for the nurses. This is
a most necessary work, which mas been
left undone because OF the paucity OF

sodality will do the work thoroughly
at whatever cost, and money for the
purpose has been appropriated out Of
their treasury. The move is prompted
by desire to help the noble charitable
institution, and to give the help in a
