THE CAUSE oF SOUND MONEY.
To the Editor of the Press:

Permit me through your columns to
call attention to the need Of active inter-
est and cooperation on behalf Of sound
money by the business men of New Eng
land. Many of them seem to believe That
the money question was settled by the
last election, and, on the other hand,
some who realize the actual state OF things
seem to feel that nothing can be done
about it. While the sound money men in
this part of the country take held Of this
question only in an obvious emergency
such as occurred in 1856, the silverites are
working all the time, distributing litera
ture, propogating their doctrines and Or
eanizing their forces.
There is, in fact. al emergeuc now for
the silverites are likely to win the House
of Representatives in the election next
autumn unless there is vigorous and per-
sistent opposii ion "a q now until election
uay lGis opyosiu-c4 to TIE movement
for free silver ana fiat money-they are
the same in principle-requires thor
ough-going eapcation of the people in the
West ard South, as well as some education
here, in the principles of sound currency
and sound banking. Fruits will not be

by preventing the waves of enthusiasm
for fat money which have heretofore
swept oye cur country from time to TINT

amusement and terror 70 foreign iran
ciers and nero ans.
The only organization which is doing
work OF this kind at the present time and
on a large scale IS the executive commit
tee of the business mems Monetary Con.
yention. This committee is engaged not
only in lacking the currency and banking
reform bill prepared by the Monetary
Commission but in waging an energetic
campajen of educati II throughout the
country.
Secretary Gage recently said in lettel
to q member of this committee: 81 think
tpat the Monetary Commission bill, Il
aAoDted as " law, would greatly strength
en- our hnancill situation and wonlo
prove a great advance over present con
dit;ons l think it presents tt
the public the best rallying point for the
unified support of all who desire to secure
currency and banking reform
President Mckinley said in New VOTE
n short time ago: sit will not suffice fol
citizens nowadays to say SIMPLY ina, ina
thew are in favor of sound money. Iha
is not enough The peoples purpose mus

Ex-President Cleveland eaid few day
ago: "If any one believing with Us sup
poses that free silver can be prevented
from controlling the two houses OF TIT
next congress without effective organlza

dons that idea the more useful he Will d

The situation Is serious and the soUnf

earnest and effective support of every

to aid in the work will communicate

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
SIMPLE, HARMLESS REMEDY.
Yet It Cures the Worst Cases of Dyspepsia
and Indigestion.


Or Jennison, who has made a life
study of stomach troubles, says: All
FORMS of indigestion really amount to the
same thing, that is, failure to completely
digest the food eaten; no matter whether
stomach, belching of wind, nervous dys-
pepsia Or loss of flesh and appetite; per-
son will not have any of them if the
stomach can be induced by any natural,
harmless way to thoroughly digest what
is eaten, and this can be doneiby a simple
remedy which l have tested in hundreds
OF aggravated cases with complete success.
Ihe remedy is combination OF fruit and
vegetable essences, pure aseptlc peps1n
and golden seal put up in the form OF
pleasant tasting tablets and sold by drug
gists under the Eame of Stllart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets. One or two OF these ia piebs
should be taken after meals and allowed
to dissolve in the mouth and ininRlng
with the food in the stomach, d1gests IL
completely before it has time to fermens'
decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
three thousand grains of meat, eggs aano
similar wholesome foods.
1t Is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better known by people gen.
orally, it would be national blessing, az
we are a nation of dyspeptics and nine
tenths of, all diseases owe their origin to
imperfect digestion and nutrition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not 9
secret patent medicine. but fifty cent
package will do moressreal good for q weak
stomach than fifty dollars worthsof patent
medicines and person has the satlsiac-
ton of knowing just what he is putting
into his stomach, which he does not
know, when widely advertised paten'
medicines are used.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, full sized packages, 80 cts.

stomach troubles mailed free by address

RECITAL BY MUSICAL PUPILS.
Given in the studio of Prot. South
worth Last Evening.

The first in the series of closing ex-
erCises of the SouthwOrth studios of
music was held last evening when a
delightful programme was given by
Miss Belle Morrow, assisted by Miss
Lily Joseph. Miss Morrow is recOg-
nized i'm an extended circle as a plan
list of great ability, but a new concep-
ton of her work was gained by the
large and discriminating audience
present on this occasion. She played
several numbers, among them preludes
and valse in r minor by Chopin,
and three delicious morceauX by Grieg.
Her rendering of Liszt's Gieben-
straume was artistic and strong in its
Incorporation, as was the Haendel Sc
lection.
Miss Lily Joseph, whose fair face
and beautiful Contralto voice are well
known in the choir of the First Pres
byterian church, sang with exquisite
effect Rubensteins gay Voices Of
the Woods" Her middle tones are
notably good and the fexibility and
timbre of her voice seem in general
to have greatly improved under the
training of the past season under Miss
Freeman. She also sang the angels
Slumber Song" by Jordan, with rare
sweetness and beauty of shading.
This afternoon at 4 o'clock pupils
of Miss Julia Allen will give part of
the programme at the Southworth stu
dio, while this evening at Excelsior
hall an elaborate musicale will be held
at Excelsior hall, when a large num-
ber Of ladies will be heard.

Just imagine a. man loaded into

of feet into the air, and then fired out
into space, descending to the ground
by means of a frail parachute. IT seems
almost impossible, yet this Is what will
be seen at the Caledonian games at the
Driving park on July T. 1t will Sln-
doubtedly prove a wonderful spectacle,
and the Caledonans who are always to
the front with attractions will, no
doubt, be satisfied that they have
builded better than they knew"
Twenty-seven great athletic features

COMMONERS ARE ANXIOUS.
Want to Hurry Along the Cumberland
Building Resolution.

There is no necessity for a special
meeting of common council tomorrow
evening, but five members of that body
have thought otherwise and pursuant
to their direction call has been issued
by Clerk Hatton. 1t is doubtful if a
quorum materialzes.
The call announces a meeting for
general business, but its main pur-
pose is to pass select councils concur
rent resolution awarding to the North
End Lumber company the contract for
building the Cumberland Hose house
for $S6S. Mr.. Grier was the originator
of the call which was also signed by
Messrs. Reese, Wenzel, Jackson and
ZiZieman.
Select council meets the following
evening, Thursday, but for some reason
the fire cOmmoners are unwilling to risk
being overburdened with business.

days before he left the doctor and party
went out and caught two, each about
four yards long--as a lady described
them-until she was enlightened to the
effect that unlike Monday bargains, you
get alligators by the foot and not the
yard. Now gator twelve feet long
isn't pleasant object to meet except as
regards his smile which takes up about
half Of his extent. IT will not be sur

sooner or later act as police force about

eighteen alligators will be capable of in

their new confines. There Is a probability
that about as much anxiety will be OK
pressed every morning by the Scranton
public as TO the intact condition of the
alligator family, as Of the army ana navy
OF the United States. one gator might
not be much missed ny the other seycn-
