Few funerals were ever held on this
side which were so largely attended
or where such an evident mark of re-
spect was paid as that of the late
Mrs. Charles Schneider, of Pittston
avenue, which was held yesterday af-
ternoon. Short services were held at
the residence of the parents Of the de-
ceased, Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Metz,
S22 South Main avenue, West Scran-
ton, where she died.
The remains We're then borne to the
Hickory Street Presbyterian church, of
which congregation deceased was
devout member. Rev. w. A. Nordt,
pastor of the congregation. offciated.
The remains reposed in a handsome
white Casket almost concealed beneath
the wealth of floral offerings.
A quartette composed of Mrs. Jacob
Trester, Miss Lydia Nordt, Jacob
Emich and Gustave Reppert sang In
the Silent Midnight Watches" Prayer
was offered and Rev. Nordt preached
the sermon, selecting his text from
the book of Genesis, chapter 35, verses
1920: And they journeyed from
Bethel and there was but a little way
to come to Ephrath." The re-
marks of the clergyman were touch
ing yet comforting. Many a tear was
shed out of sympathy for the husband
and the aged parents.
At the conclusion Of the sermon the
quartette sang "Shall We Meet Be
yond the River?" A fervent prayer
was offered concluding the services. As
the body was being carried from the
church Jesus Knows Thy Sorrow"
was sang. The cortege moved to the
Pittston avenue cemetery, where in
terment was made in the family plot.
| The pall-bearers were: William
Fickus, John Reiter, William Rosar
and Charles Schneider. William Heus-
ter and Peter Rosar. jr., were the

Pe-ru-na Is not a cure-all. Nothing
of the sort is claimed for it; indeed,
there is no such medicine. Pe-ru-na
cures Catarrh wherever located in the
body by it's specific action on the vasa-
motor system of nerves. These nerves
control every blood vessel of the body,
regulating exactly the amount Of blood
which is allowed to flow through them.
1t is claimed for Pe-ru-na only that
it restores the efficient action of the
vasa motor system of nerves. This is
all it will do. This is all that we claim
it will do. But we insist that If it IS
taken persistently and according to
directions that 1t will do this. But in
doing this what vast multitude of
disorders is mitigated, not because Pc

A most important movement was
taken by the members of the First
BAPTIST church in session at MorSan's
hall last evening. The question Of
selling or building on their former site
was discussed, and it was unanimously
voted to sell the lot on Scranton
street. After deciding this question
the members took up the several prop
ositions made recently and considered
the options on different sites. a
lengthy discussion followed, and it was
finally voted to make arrangements
for purchasing the Mott lot on South
Main avenue.
This plot of ground is 51x125 feet
and is admirably located for a church,
being situated midway between Scran-
ton and Washburn streets on the west
erly side of the street. The land is
very valuable, and is owned by Mrs.
Harriet c.. Mott, of 204 North HYDE
Park avenue. The purchase price Is
known, but the members of the church
do not desire to make it public at this
time.
1t is understood, however, that by
the church securing the ground they
will receive an allowance of 81 1000 on
the fixed price of the land as a dona-
tion by the owner.
The trustees of the church have been
Instructed to make the purchase, and
the papers necessary for the transfer
will be drawn UP Immediately.
The members are very enthusiastic
over the proposed site, which is one
of the best locations in West Scranton.

Young Men Milliners

While women are going into the practice
of law and medicine, few intrepid mascu-
line souls have been successfully attempting
to render lucrative one of the trades that
femininty threatens to abandon. This Is
nothing less than the ancient, honorable and
difficult art of trimming hats. In New York
City alone there are three men who have
deserted the ordinary avocations of their
sex to make bewitching millinery and are
doing so well that they threaten to outrival
all their feminine competitors. One of these
men is a house to house miliner, that is,
he takes engagements to trim hats by the
day, in his patrons own homes and his start
in life was made as a bookkeeper Finding
only poor pay and unhealthy confinement in
this profession, and feeling an innate deco
rator's talent, he worked all day at his
books and practiced alone in his room every
evening with the aid of a dummy head and
a few plumes, scarfs and felt frames, at hat
making.
When he felt himself proficient in his art,
he solicited patronage and proved so salts
factory to the women who gave him a chance
that he now possesses as large clientele
as he can handle. His charges are $4 day
and his special achievement is the clever
renovation Of hats. In small satchel he
carries his sewing materials and in a sew
ing room or quiet corner he snips, fits, ties
bows, poises plumes, refaces, steams, presses
and generally does over tn the mplete sat
isfaction of those who employ him.

ideals, opened a tiny shop near Sixth ave-

Valuable Young Woman

Miss Nellie Hunt, daughter of the late
Secretary of the Navy Hunt, is living
eXemplification of a successful private sec
retary, as well as an example of what a
plucky, well educated young woman thrown
ON her own resources may attain should she
be possessed OF energy and refinement
Upon the death of her father Miss Hunt
found her income all too small to permit of
life of idleness so she set her wits to
work with the determination to obtain lu-
crative employment suited to her abilities.
Being great social favorite in Washing
ton, Miss Hunt soon found the desired open
ing through the aid of friends to whom she
had confded her intention, and was so for
tunate as to win the favor of Mrs. Levi p.
Morton upon the accession of Mr. Morton
10 the vice presidential chair
From this date on Miss Hunts happy
star was in the ascendant, and her position
as private secretary to the second woman in
the land during her residence at the capital
has proven an open sesame to continual
activity in the profession Between Mrs
Morton and her young protege a warm
affection was soon cemented, and the two
women became true friends and comrades
While the companionship was most con-
genial and mutual confidence a source OF
position were none the less onerous, since
in its comprehensveness the work of a
private secretary to a leader OF Washington
sCciety, with its unending demands, Is by
no means sinecure, for the slightest Omis-
sion may break the political fortune of a
cabinet officer. The fact that his wife holds
the key to this secret and must faithfully
perform her part of the partnership Is a
familiar story to those who appreciate its
herself a master Of the art, and to the faith
fulness of her secretary much of her official
success Is due To succeed as private sec
retary one must possess not only education
of high order, but discretion and finesse
as well, with readiness and power of en-
durance more than ordinary
Having attained success in so kind a
school, Miss Hunts position was assured,
and upon the advent of the second Cleve-
land administration her services were
eagerly sought for and secured by Mrs.
Oney, wife of the secretary of state. Be
fore leaving town upon the incoming of the
present administration, Mrs. Olney strongly
recommended Miss Hunt to women of the
new cabinet. Miss Hunt found herself the
bone of contention between Mrs, Hobart
and Mrs. Alger, each woman good -naturedly
claiming priority of right TO her services.
The knotty question was finally settled by
a happy co operation, in which Miss Hunt
performed for while double duty, falling
eventually to the share OF the wife OF the
vice president.
