SCRANTON, DECEMBER 16. 1898.

The troubles with unruly Cubans at
Havana reminds one OF the southern

specifications they would in four short
years have laid the city under a liaoil-

HOW THE POPE FEELS.

Rome Letter in the Sun.
The vatican has been worried by the
hostile feeling of some members of the
Cuban government, but it has faith that

prevail over designs of hostility and ideas
of sequestrating ecclesiastical property.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

wv OihtSA ouSobA~AS
What is the use Of making a better
article than your competitor if you cant
get a better price for it?
Ans.--As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much great
err in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best2
If both articles are brought promin
emily before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and use
only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham.
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using 1t for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds
and Group there is nothing equal to
