A Mother Tells How She Saved Her
Little Daughter's Life. +

I am the mother of eight children
and have had a great deal of exper-
fence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in its worst form. We thought she
would die. I tried everything I
could thing of, but nothing seemed
to do her any good. I saw by an
advertisement in our paper that
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea remedy was highly recon-
mended and sent and got a bottle at
once. 1t proved to be one Of the
very best medicines we ever had in
the house. 1t saved my little daugh-
ter's life, I am anxious for every
mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had known 1T at
first it would have saved me a great
deal of anxiety and my little daugh-
ter much suffering.-Yours truly,
Mrs. GEO. F. BURDICK, Liberty, r. I.

GATHERED In
SOUTH SCRANTON
ST. JOHNS FAIR COMES TO A
CLOSE WITH SUCCESS.
Rev. E. ]. Melley, Who Was in
Charge, Not Prepared TO Speak of
Actual Results-It Is Expected,
However, That About $4,000
Will Be Realized - Winners of
Prizes - Workman Narrowly Es-
capes Death = Mr.. Smith, of Moosic,
Injured-other Accidents.

The fair held under the auspices Of
the congregation of the church Of st.
John the Evangelist for the past five
weeks in the church hall on Fig street
came to close Saturday night. I'm
questionably the fair was as success
ful, and perhaps, the most successful,
Of any similar undertaking conducted
In the city. At the three masses cele-
brated at st. Johns church yesterday,
Rev. E. j. Melley made remarks to his
Hook with reference to the result of
the fair. He said that he was de-
lighted, that he was almost unable to
express his feelings. At this time he
could not give even a rough estimate
of the amount realized. He will, how
ever, be prepared by next Sunday to
give the figures to his parishoners.
Father Melley in his remarks made a
significant statement. Early in the
spring the untirng pastor said that
work will be commenced upon the
new edifice for his growing cOngrega-
ton.
Judging from this, it is safe to say
that the amount of money realized at
the fair will run into the thousands
of more than one figure. A leading
member of st. Johns congregation,
speaking to a Tribune reporter yester-
day. gave as his opinion that between
twelve and fifteen thousand dollars
will be the result of the fair.
The closing night of the fair was an
interesting one. The contest between
Misses Julia Donnelly and Miss Tillie
Magee for a diamond ring, which was
waged with a lively, but good natured
rivaly, ended with Miss Magee being
victorious, she having to her credit
$l,09O1O, while Miss Donnelly had $780,
90. The amount collected by the young
ladies and their friends was a huge
surprise. Little Winifred Walsh, tot
of five years, of South Washington
avenue, won the piano, valued at S4OO
and donated by j. w. Guernsey. Ed
ward Carey held the lucky number
which took the organ preuanted by
| Perry Brothers. Michael Langan, OF
! Fig street, won handsome parlor suit
| A splendid portrait of Rt. Rev. Bishop
| NJ j. Hoban was taken by r. Fl. Walsh
| the merchant of railroad avenue. Miss
| Mary Edwards, on a ten cent chance
! won S25 in gold. The contest for the
| bueatful bridal doll between Misses
| Miriam Manley and Anna Dougherty
| resulted in favor of Miss Manley. She
| is a daughter of DR.. and Mrs. James
| A. Manley.
