WANT TRANSFERS.
Scranton Railway Company Is Not
Liberal Enough with Them.

some time ago resolution was
passed by council directing Mayor Bal
ley to enforce the provisions of the
ordinance under which the Bellevue
line of the scranton Railway company
is operated. Tho ordinance provides
that this company shall issue transfer
tickets good on all it's connecting and
intersocting lines Of street railway for
a single fare which shall not exceed
five cents"
The resolution was introduced by
Mr.. Calpin, who represents the Sixth
ward in the common council. General
Manager Sillman, of the Railway
company, conferred with Mayor Bal
! ley and Mr. Calpin about the matter
| yesterday. The latter said the COM
panv refuses to grant transfers from
the bellevue to the South Side, Eynon
or Luzerne street lines and that his
! constituents are not pleased with this
| arrangement and demand that the

Hunting Lafite's Treasure.

81 struck very romantic character
over at Biloxi the other day" remark
ID MI r. f. Wallis. prominent gen
Heman. the other night, AN old duffeI,
whose name | have not troubled my
self TO recOllect. who has IN his pos
session a chart telling of hidden treas
Ires of the fabulous gold and precious
metals of LATTE, the great pirate. This
DID fellow every now ana then buys
Up lots somewhere, and they say lie
mas already dug up several pots Of
gold. The people have quit selling
aim lots. and now whenever he wants
% buy section of land he has TO set
IN agent to TO II. for if the people find
)ut that he wants the land. they refuse
10 sell it, and forthwith proceed to
digging up the place themselves. This
Id man has a chart which came down
o him from LATTE. and which locates
very large bulk of the Latitte treas
ares by certain directions. The clrcu-
lar location of five gum trees is said
10 be the description given in the
chart that the money will be found
buried under these five trees. The di-
'ections speak of travelling from a Civ
al point through the woods. Here
comes in all the trouble with this old
gold hunter. From the given point
which he has. in all directions, foc
some distance the land has been clear
I'd up, and it is impossible to find the
i've trees. But the people know every
look of the land, and he, together with
others, has been digging for years for
t."
Mr.. Wallis tells the story for a fact,
saying that the people in Biloxi look
upon the old man as a crank, though
le is known to have dug up two pots
Of gold during the past few years.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for eXamina-
ton: but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfr Miss MARIE
f. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
'Mv health became so poor that l
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. / was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me and wrote
you for advice. 1 followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegeta BILE Compound and Liver Pills as
YOU directed, and am now as well as l
ever was l have gained flesh and have
good color. 1 am completely cured Of
irrepu larity"

Neutral Paint Saved Our Ships.

81 am delighted to read in the tele.
grams from Washington that the
American war ships are being painted
white again. said Colonel X. H..
Brown at the Russ House last night.
The colonel is from Virginia City, and
like most Nevadans he oscillates be-
tween the Russ and Palace-boards at
the first and talks politics in the ro-
tunda of the other.
white is the color of peace, and
that is what suits me-" continued Col
onel Brown. 1T suits me especially
when it won in such a glorious fashion
as was set by Dewey and Schley.
When our floating fighting machines
visit other countries they will still be
properly designated as the white navy,
and no prettier or sturdier ships ever
made burrows in the sea.
This changing in the color of our
ships is expensive, but it is a good
investment. When l was at Santiago
de Cuba on a press boat four weeks
ago | took a good look at the war
boats in their fighting paint and It con-
WINGED me that the Yankee who got
up that idea was no bevel-headed anna
teur. He knew what he was doing,
and the government was wise in ac-
cepting the suggestion.
The dirty. neutral tint of the YES
sells made them look as if they were
merging into the marine waterscape.
You could scarcely tell where the ships
ended and the water began, so that it
was much more difficult to draw a
bead on them than if they had been
painted in any clear color. The Span
ards are poor marksmen, ofcourse, but
believe that our ships escaped many
a shot and shell by putting on the
Neutral tint. Our American Indians
always put on their war paint before
going into battle. and why shouldn't
our lighting ships?'

Doors of Veneer.

The very finest of doors are made
nowadays of veneer on body of
pine. Even when made of mahogany
IL some other costly wood, doors have
to be veneered The body of the door
is made of a plain, straightforward
mahogany, while the surfaces are We
neers of fine wood.
In the finest doors the body is made
If selected white pine, free from sap
and perfectly seasoned which is cut
into narrow strips and then glued to-
either. The outer edges of this door
are faced with what is called veneer
but which is really a strip of the fine
wood half an inch or more in thick
ness. The inner edges of the frame,
by the panels. are covered in the same
manner with thick strips. in which tho
ornamental mouldingS, or carvings
are grooved to receive the panels.
This buit-up frame of white pine,
with edges of the fine wood. is then
ycueered with the fine wood. In
some lighter doors the panels may be
of solid mahogany, but in the finer,
larger and heavier doors the panels
also are made of sheets of white pine
with veneering of the fine wood, so
that the entire door is veneered.
1t would be difficult. if not imposSi-
Bile to procure ut any cost mahogany
lumber in fine and beautiful woods of
sufficient size for the larger doors.
The built-up and veneered door of
pine wood, however. has every ap-
pearance of a solid door, and. made
of selected veneers, it may be more
beautiful than solid door would be.
It is more seryiceable. and remains
longer perfect. Its cost is about half
what solid door wOuld cost.

Good Advice.

Life is too short and full of care and
sorrows for one to be the cause of
adding one feathers weight of trouble
to another's load. Will Carleton, the
poet, in the First Settlers Story"
we believe it was, makes the old man
say, in speaking of his wife. that she
used to stand around and boss the
job, and by her kind words lifted
whole tons. Kind words have the
same effect the world over. They lift
a fellow out of the slough of despond;
they break the stiffened, set features
of the worried into pleasant, hopeful
smile. And how much better it is to
cultivate the habit of treating everyone
as though time would come when we
should lay down the mortal form; and
that to Lave behind character and
reputation of fairness, truth, and
honor is the most enduring of riches.

Musk and Patchouly Perfumes.

Musk is an animal odor, but on ac-
count of its great lasting properties
it is mixed with many delicate per.
fumes to increase their sale. Pat
choulv is made from an herb. and
gained its reputation as perfume
from being used by the makers of In.
dian shawls to give their wares that
peculiar odor which the French labor.
ed so many years to discover. Finally
they found the plant, imported it irtc
their country, and were at last sue.
cessful in their imitation Of Indian
shawls. Patchouly is the most last.
ing of all plant perfumes. and, like
musk, is combined with flower odors
in the manufacture of all manner Of
perfumes for sale.

Death. from Disease in the Army.

An editorial writer in The Sun gives
the surgeon-general's estimate of the
number Of deaths from disease up to
the present time as about 1000, or
only about three fifths of one per cent.
in total force of about $50, 900 men.
He cites Konversations-Lexicon pub
lished in Leipsic-Brockhaus', we pre-
sume--as stating the loss of life from
disease in the German army during the
Franco Prussian war to have been
nearly two per cent. A French medi-
cal authority, DR.. Cheun, according to
The Army and Navy Journal (also
cited by The Suns writer, gives the
number of "sick and frostbitten" in
the French army as 339, 421. The
Hispano American war has lasted thus
far about five months. The Franco
Prussian lasted about seven months.
The advantages of the Germans in be-
ing thoroughly prepared, the writer
thinks, go far to neutralize this dis
parity of duration.
