THEY ARE CONFIDENT.
Letter Carrier Delegates Determined
to Get the Next Convention for
Scranton-Pledges Received.

John H. Phillips, e. d. Jones, Mich
ael O'Malley and Joseph Fidiam, the
Scranton delegates to the Letter Car
riers convention which begins next
Monday in Toledo. Ohio, left at 1910
o'clock this morning via of the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western road
to be on the ground early in the move
ment to bring the 1899 convention to
this city.
They are armed with endorsements
of the invitations from councils, the
mayor, the editors of the local papers,
and fifty of the most prominent busi-
ness men. They also have campaign
placards and buttons and enthusiasm
galore.
More valuable still they carry with
them twenty proxies from cities in
Pennsylvania that do not intend to
send delegates. The whole state, with
the exception of Philadelphia, which
is non-committal, and New York state
with the exception of New York city
and Buffalo which like Philadelphia
would give no decided answer, are solid
for Scranton.
Baltimore and Chattanooga are the
rival claimants. The fight, however
will be between Chattanooga and
Scranton, as Baltimore it is quite GER
tain is only in the fight for the pur-
pose of making a deal for the first
presidency.
There will be 700 delegates and 90(
votes in the convention. Every branch
in the union has been seen by the
Scranton campaigners and from the
answers received there is every reason
to believe that a majority of them vii
favor this city.
This is the third time the Scranton
carriers have made a fight for the con
vention. Two years ago they were de
feated by only six votes and they haC
the whole of New York against them

prize it was conceded quite general!

MRS. BARRETT'S FACE.
It Bore Material Evidence of Having
Been Struck.

With her head and face bearing ma
terial evidence of some kind of vio-
lencc, Mrs. Annie Barrett, of Provi-
dence road, appeared before Alderman
Millar yesterday and charged her hus-
band with beating her. A warrant
was issued for his arrest.
Mrs. Barrett said the trouble arose
over her objections to having Barrett
draw his pay at the ManVille mine and
leave for Montana without first maxi
ing a division of the cash.

You need doctor many times when you
don't call one. You suffer pain in fifty
forms and yet won't call the doctor, be-

by experience, that that first visit of the
doctor is generally followed by many others,

bill "for professional services" You don't
know what to do for yourself or what to take.

Our friend the Register had another

that the President Is going to send the
army into the state to oganize the legIs-
lature for the Republicans. It is pity
that the Register is 50 blind in its partI-

vlllainous statements of It's fake corre-
spondents rather than common sense
and reason. 1.-THE legislature isn't soon
organized. and the contests are not coon
settled, in the peaceful manner required
by law, and as everybody expects the
difficulties will be settled, our poor de-
