in regard TO pension rules, regulatio
and legislation, that should meet with
the approval OF all comrades and lovaI
citizens OF America; but | fear these reso-
lutions have very little effect, comrades,
until we are able to get a per diem service
bill passed. Tens Of thousands viii have
answered their last roll-call and will have
gone down to their cold graves, buried by
the AID ot charity or some other public in
stltution. per diem bill could give a
pension to the brave man who served
three or four years at the front always on
duty, and should be in addition 10 his
small disability pension, which he may
be drawing al present, or may lie entitled

The United States Government cannot
pay the veterans too much: or, in other
words, 1T can never pay them what they
earned. Comrades and their friends eyery-

SCIENTISTS OBJECT.
Sect Will Not Submit to Vaccination,
Barred from Towanda Schools.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
TOwanda, Dec. 12.-At the monthly
meeting of theA'Owanda school boarl
Principal Robbins reported that ali the
children attending school between the
required ages had presented certificates
Cf successful vaccination except two,
who had been excused on the recon-
ncndatiOns of their physicians on ac-
count of cared physical effects. He
also reported that several children
whose parents are Christian Scientists
had been refused admittance to the
school because they We're unable to
furnish certificates and that it was un.
derstood that they were being taught
at their respective homes.
This sect is becoming quite 81 'ong
in this place and there has been con-
siderable feeling over the matter Of
compulsory vaccination, the believers
in this faith, of course, objecting to
any such theory of medicine. There
was talk of taking the matter into the
courts, but the question seems to have
been solved by means of private tou-
toring.

THE MARKETS..
Wall Street Review,

New York, Dec. l2.-The stock mar
ket displayed a feverish tone all day
as a consequence of the violent shake
down of yesterday. Although there
was some belatcd liquidation, pri ,es
were not without support at any time
and where breaches were made in
values the character of the buying at
the decline made it look as though
the manipulation for a fall was the
purpose of taking on stocks. There
was a notable volume of commission
house buying, which indicated that
outsiders had been attracted by the
low level of prices. There were points
in the industrial list which displayed
notable resistance all day and during
the latter part of the trading some
positive strength. Some of the sharp
declines in the railroad list, notably
in the grangers We're attributed to a
shift of the holdings from that group
into some of the industrials. Total
sales, &C., 100 shares,
The bond market was less active
than stocks and prices were compara-
lively steady. Total sales par value,
