CONDITION OF ANTHRACITE.
Producers and Dealers Are in a
Cheerful Frame of Mind.

saturdays issue of the Engineering
and Mining Journal says about the
condition OF the anthracite coal trade:
With wintry weather prevailing pretty
steadily all over the territory where an
thraCite is consumed. producers and
dealers are in a cheerful frame of mind
The trade at the head of the lakes and in
chicago territory is in good shape. In
the east buying at seaboard points va 70
RES with the weather and is largely OF
thc hand TO mouth order but the demand
at interior points is pretty steady.
The only point where there seems to be
dissatisfaction is Boston. Here dealers
are complaining of prices that leave no
proht, but this state of things is due in
large part to the action of the Metro
poltan company and the desire among
deterrent interests for the lions share of
trade. Talk of consultations and agree
ments continues Most Of this talk is de-
lightfully vague. IL seems to rest on
Mr.. j. L. Morgans interest in LehiGh
Valley, and speculations over who is go

in handling the affairs of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western.
Until this last point is decided at the

about agreements and consultations can
be taken with a grain of salt
The probable output for this month is
put at 3,2500o0 tons, and the outlook is
that such a tonnage can be absorbed
without stocks accommodating. Prices are

ST. JOSEPH'S SOCIETY.
Work That 1t Did During the Year
Reviewed in the Report of Mrs.
P. ]. Horan, the Cores
ponding Secretary.

At the annual meeting Of st. Joseph's
society an exhaustive report was made
by the corresponding secretary, Mrs.
Z. j. Horan, of Dunmore. Reports
We're submitted by other officers.
The report of the treasurer, Mrs. F.
w. Gunster, Is summarized as follows:
Balance, Jan. 12, 1898, SO, $50 SO; receipts
during the year, 81 ,509.i6: total, SlO,S7O.-
20; expenditures, $9,25424; balance.
Jan. IL, 1898, $1,616.O5. 1t should be
explained that the large sum for ex-
penses include S5,42S.95 paid to Con-
tractor John Colligan. $2SS.62 to the
architect and 5000 on the real estate ac-
count, all involved in the erection of the
new home.
Incorporated in Mrs. Horan's report
are the following facts:
"The report OF the executive COM
mittee shows that during the year eigh-
teen ninety-eight, thirty-six women and
girls were taken from dives Of infamy
or rescued from impending danger and
sent to the House of the Good Shep-
herd; ninety-five destitute infants were
sent to st. Joseph's Home; thirty were
since taken out by friends, who now
feel competent to take care of them;
nine children were sent to st. Patrick S
Orphan asylum; twelve incorrigible
children were sent to reformatories in
New York, Philadelphia and Buffalo;
employment was found for a large
number of women and good homes for
six children.
by the efforts of the executive COM
mittee, fifteen unfortunate women were
carried through a trying period. The
thanks Of the society are due to the
Lackawanna and Hahneman hospitals
for the assistance they rendered in car
ing for the latter class"
AS a result of collections in the
churches of this diocese on a stated
Sunday, $11.75S99 was secured and
turned over to the treasurer and it was
at once determined to begin the erec-
ton of a founding home to succeed
the utterly inadequate establishment
on Jefferson avenue. which under many
disadvantages had been used for car
rying on the noble work of shelteTinG
destitute infants. Plans were speedily
approved, and on June s the contract
was awarded to Colligan Brothers
Work has had to be temporarily aban-
doned owing to a lack of funds, only
enough being on hand to assure the
payment of necessary expenses.
The building has been started or
land donated by the Pennsylvania Goa
company through the late John B
Smith.

NOT so TERRIBLE.
Al. Reeves Turk Couldn't Get Fall
Out of Atlas,

OuJ OF AClaS.
AL. Reeves Turk, Morad Ali, failed
to throw Atlas in the stipulated fifteen
minutes at the Gaiety theater Saturday
night. A very large crowd saw the
contest, which was not a clever one
from the professional standpoint, al
though it furnished opportunity for
prodigious effort on the part of both
men. "A large crowd, containing many
lovers of athletics, saw the bout.
The contest was not long in progress
before it was apparent that the Turks
big, but lean and bony, makeup con-
tanned less agility than was supposed.
He first sought the mat and the de-
fensiNe and had to twist his neck out
of several holds which could never have
been secured on a clever man. He
finally became free and forced Atlas
to the mat and wasted nearly six min
utes in a clumsy endeavor to get a
hold on his opponent. Once he sue
ceeded and obtained a half Nelson. but
Atlas twisted out of 1t most beautifully.
After twelve minutes Atlas. evident
ly seeing the futility Of gaining a fall
by ordinary holds on so muscular a
man, began trying for any old kind of
throat. He secured three, and had the
Turks face red. black and white by
turns, but the latter always managed
to free himself about the time the au-
dience expected him to gasp and go
down. The timelimit expired with At
las in possession of a dangerously beau
tiful strangle hold.
Although the Turk was evidently ex-
pected to gain fall. Atlas uncon-
sciously put a little irony into the
affair by advancing to the footlights
and apologizing for not throwing the
Turk. Atlas said: I'm sorry l couldn't
do it in the fifteen minutes: I could,
but-he's too big and strong"
Con Reilly manager for Doc Payne,
the fighter, was referee; stranger
held the clock for Atlas, and Reeves
performed that office for his not very
terrible Turk. Atlas received $50 for
staying the fifteen minutes

studied medicine at the university from
"a until '9S.
He did not pass his examination at
the university in order to receive a
diploma, so he went to- some college
in Baltimore, where he received a di-
ploma, and was coming back here to
pass the state board.
After we were engaged he used 10
ask me for money for one thing and
another. He never had the slightest
heeitancy about accepting it, though
he knew how very little I had. He
used to say: oh. it's all right: what
belongs to you belongs to me and what
l have is yours but he didn't have
anything l wanted to work, but he
wouldn't let me, because he said when
he married me he wouldn't like to have
it said l was a working girl. He was
very affectionate, gave me an engage
ment ring and promised to marry me
in the presence of my mother and SiS-
ter.

zone day a woman came here and
said: What are you writing to Dr.
Mckenzie for? I'm engaged to him /
said: How dare you! I'm engaged to
DR.. Mckenzie. Her name is Laura
Thorn, and she then lived at 1886 Spring
Garden street. She found telegram
from me in his pocket, that is how she
knew my address. She said she
wouldn't have anything more to do with
him, and then she went away.
'On the Goth Of September he went
to Latrobe to play foot ball. He wrote
me from there, saying he would come
and see me when he returned. He didn't
come, and / heard he had been seen
with Laura Thorn. SO one night about
8 o'clock l went to her house. l walk
ed into her parlor, and there he wac
sitting in the bathrobe l had given
him. Wasn't that mean?
"Well he was as white as n ghost
when he saw me. She began to quar-
rel with me and he didn't dare say a
word. l was clinging to him. and she
was trying to get me away. She
pulled my hair and tore out my side
combs. l got him to come out with me
and then he promised me he would
never see her again.
He went west again, but said he
would be back during the peace jubilee
and again promised to see me. He did
not come, but one of my friends saw
him on the street with Laura. This
friend went up to him and said: How
you are deceiving Tillie!'

intend to marry me; so ! put my case

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medi-
cines. The real seat of the mischief
is lost sight of. The stomach is the
organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach,
nor perhaps any of the usual symp-
toms of stomach weakness. Nervous
dyspepsia shows itself not in the stom-
ach so much as in nearly every organ.
In some cases the heart palpitates
and is irregular; in others the kidneys
are affected; in others the bowels are
constipated, with headaches; still 9TH

DR.. Robert II. NJ. Mckenzie, who is
now practicing medicine at Taylor,
has been sued for $4,000 for breach of
promise by Miss Til,ie Wagner, who re-
sides at 1927 Marchall street, Philadel-

years a student in the University Of
Pennsylvania and was one of the uni

The Philadelphia Bulletin of Saturday
had the following concerning the suit:
Or. Mckenzie, Miss Wagner alleS rs,
not only trihed with the affections cf
his erstwhle fancee. but, according
to her statement, obtained $1,000 from
her for the ostensible purpose of de-
fraying his college expenses.
DR.. Mckenzie paid his college eX-
penses with Miss Wagner's money, she
asserts, and had enough left over to
play the races. backing the favorite,
who invariably lost. DR.. Mckenzie, ac-
cording tn the plaintiff, also had his
picture taken in various effective poses.
He presented her with pictures of him
self in evening dress and foot ball
clothes, which she paid for later.
He is a large wasted, well-fad
broad d-shouldered person. He wears
foot ball hair in season. At other per-
iods he parts his hair in the middle

brow. He wears a brown mustache,
which shows the result of careful train
ing.
Miss Wagner was asked to admire
the apparently ineXhaustibe stock Of
neckties and colored shirts in which
he called upon her, for which she SET:
tied the bills, she asserts.

People are apt to believe that kid
ney disease is rather a rare disease,
but recent discoveries have proved that
it is a most common trouble indeed.
And the proof of this is, that most
diseases, perhaps IS per cent, are
caused in the beginning by disorders
Of the kidneys.
You can't be sick if your blood is
pure, free from kidney poison and dis
et s breeding germs. Your kidneys
should keep it so. That's what they
are therefor. And as long as they are
we'll they perform their duties with
thoroughness and dispatch.
You are well when your kidneys
are.
Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the great
kidney remedy, will make your kid
neys we'll when they are sick.
Kidney trouble often comes from
overwork or over exertion. From ex
posure to cold and other weakening
il fuences, from lifting CT a strain,
from over. eating OIL drinking. All
these things weaken your kidneys ard
poisonous germs begin to creep into
your blood.
1t is at just such times that Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is needed.
When your kidney are not doing their
work, you have backache, headache,
sediment in the urine, scalding irrita
ton in passing it, obliged to go oftener
during the day and to get up many
times at night, dizziness, or irregular
heart, bladder or uric acid troubles,
rheumatism, neuralgia, sleeplessness
nervousness, irritability, sallow com
plexion, bloating, dropsy, tired feeling,
loss of energy and ambition.
Swamp Root is the great medical
triumph of the nineteenth century ;
discovered after years of untiring effort
and research by the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, DR. Klmer, and
has truly wonderful restorative and
healing action on the kidneys and
bladder.
The proof of this is a trial, and moth.
ing could be fairer than the offer to
send a sample bottle Of this great dis
covery absolutely free by mail.
