A DUPLICATE GAME.

A game OF whist7 Who could resist
The challenge bold when you insist?
And yet I'm told that, entire nous,
You always hold a trick or two
Unknown to your antagonist.
I own I am no analyst
or maiden's ways, nor grasp the gist
or half their plays-thus l may rue
A game Of whist.
But, like an ardent optimist,
I'll give the wheel of chance n twist;
I'll play my hsnd--and would II do
To try to win your hand from you
If hearts be trunps? DO you persist
A. game Of whist?

Cars Are All Equipped.

The Lackawanna railroad had no in
terest in the hearing before the inter-
state commerce commission at Wash
ington, on Dec. g. at which time the
largest railroads in the United states,
through their representatives, peti-
toned the commission for further time
in which to comply with the law re-
quiring that all cars shall be equipped
with automatic couplers.
When this law was first passed the
Lackawanna railroad began with vigor
to carry out this provision, and a year
ago every car which had been returned
to the road from it's connecting and
foreign lines has been so equipped.
During the present year these cars
have been provided with automatic
couplers and today every one of the
thirty thousand cars of the road is so
equipped.
Only five otherralroads in the United
States have complied fully with the law
regarding the equipment of cars with
automatic couplers.

count of time not by the year of the
Consuls but by the number of their
husbands Nor are the teachings OF
Christ less needed today, when accord
ing to the figures furnished by the
United States census, divorce increased
in twenty years 1853 per cent, while the
population increased but go per cent.
The storm centre today, is said to be
i'm Indiana, where one-seventh of the
marriages end in divorce, while for the
city Of Indianapolis, the relation OF
divorces to marriages is as one to four.
Even secular writers have deplored the
shameful conditions which obtain in
Oklahoma or South Dakota, where
divorces are almost granted 'while you
wait"
But does this fatal facility of divorce
improve the moral of these Commun-
tiles, as it is sometimes claimed 1t
should? The records of the courts do
not show it. The movement now on
foot to secure by the enactment of con-
gress an uniform divorce law for all
the states is worthy Of all praise. But
more than legal enactment, the whole
country needs purer public senti-
ment
Prominent among the varied causes
of divorce is the misfit marriage-the
foolish, hasty. ill-considered choice on
the part of husband or wife. Selfish
ness is another prominent cause. The
unwillingness on the part of married
people to assume the responsibilities OF
parenthoOd is another cause. A mod
ern writer declares, Divorce is like
suicide: it is the towards refuge from
the ills of life"
If Christ's law of love ruled in the
home it would never be broken UP by
divorce. Receive Christ into your
hearts, and fill your lives with peace
and blessing.

REV. F. A. sTRoUGH's ADDRESS.
Spoke on "The Modern Prodigal" in
the Lyceum Yesterday.

Rev. F. A. Strough, of Albany, n. Y,
delivered an exceedingly interesting
and instructive illustrated lecture yes
terday afternoon in the Lyceum on
THE Modern PrOdigal." The meeting
was largely attended and was given
under the auspices of the Young Mems
Christian association.
The speaker traced the history of the
young man starting in life in one Of
the great cities of this country. He
told of the many dangers and tempta-
tions that beset him and of the neces-
sity of being a true and faithful fol-
lower of Jesus Christ in order to over
come these temptations.
In the course of his remarks Rev. Mr..
Strough spoke of what he termed the
rampant immortality of Scranton, and
stated that never before, except in New
York city, had he seen immortality
Haunted in the face of the public to
such an extent. He said the mayor
and the police ought to be heartily
ashamed of themselves for not taking
measures to stamp out this wicked
ness.
The lecture was effectively illustrated
with a number of stereoDticon views
representing the darker side of life in
the large cities. Several appropriate
selections were rendered during the
services by a male quartette, under the
direction of Prof. j. NJ Chance. The
lecture was given again last evening
in the Jackson Street Baptist church.

CHAMPIONS OF THE WEST.
University of Chicago Wins the Title
from Wisconsin.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 10.-Despite the
cold, chilly weather and the dismal,
dripping rain great crowd turned out
yesterday to see the Universities of
Chicago and Wisconsin battle for the
championship of the west. Led on by
Kennedy, the big quarter back-cap-
tain, the Chicago boys won in hard
fought game by the decisive score of
II to 0. Spectacular plays We're the
order of the day and captain Patrick
O'Dea, the wonderful kicking full back
of Wisconsin, made more than his
share of them.
His punting was magnificent, his
place kicking superb and his drop
kicks marvellous. When it is men
toned that on one of his kick-offs he
sent the ball over the goal posts it is
unnecessary to add anything further,
but still it may be mentioned that the
only time the Badger team came near
scoring was when the tall captain
tried a drop kick for goal from the 55-
yard line. The ball dropped just un-
der the bar and, had the wind been
at O'Dea's back, he surely would have
scored.
Chicago scored twice in the first and
once in the second half. The left side
of the Wisconsin line was weak and
most of the Chicago plays were direct
ed against it. Shaker scored two of the
touchdowns and Fell one. The former
also covered himself with glory by
dashing down the field for a thirty-yard
sprint, the longest of the day. Cap
tain Kennedy also put up a star game,
running his team in a sagacious man
ner and making punts and place kicks
in very able fashion. The following

At the regular meeting Of the local
division of the Brotherhood of En-
gineers yesterday a report was re-
ceived from Chairman Belden, of the
general committee, outlining the work
the committee has done so far and the
result of the conference with General
Superintendent Russell.
What the report contained could not

meeting that no action was taken con
the report and that no action was eX-
pected to be taken, as the whole mat
ter rests with the committee.

their general committee on the prog
ress that has been made towards Sc
curing redress of the grievances they
submitted.

cATARRH OF STOMACH.
A Pleasant. Simple. but Safe and Enectua
Cure for Ii.

| Cure for Ii.
| Catarrh of the stomach has ions
been considered the next to incurable
The usual symptoms are n full o.
boating sensation after eating, &C
companied sometimes with sour OF
watery risings, a formation of gases
causing pressure on the heart anC
lungs and difficult breathing; head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness
and general played out languit
feeling.
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the in.
terror of the stomach could be seen il
would show Shiny, inflamed condi-
ton.
| The cure of this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in n treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has
time to ferment and irritate the deli
cate mucous surfaces of the stomach.
To secure prompt and healthy diges-
| ton is the one necessary thing to do,
and when normal digestion is secured
| the catarrhal condition will have dis
appeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal tablet, composed of
Diatase, Aseptic Pepsin. little NuN,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being n
patent medicine can be used with per-
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals.
n. j. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn
street, Chicago, writes: ."Catarrh is a
local condition resulting from a neg
lected cold in the head whereby the
lining mem brane of the nose be-
comes infamed and the poisonous
discharge therefrom passing back
ward into the throat reaches
the stomach. thus producing
catarrh of the stomach. Medical
authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh of the stomach
without cure, but today l am the
happiest of men after using only one
box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1
cannot find appropriate words to ex-
press my good feeling. 1 have found
flesh, appetite and sound rest from
their USE"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the
simplest and most convenient remedy
for any form of indigestion, catarrh
of stomach, biliousness, sour stom-
ach, heartburn and bloating after
meals
