THE HOME EXCURSION.
Lackawanna Railroads Graceful
Charity Proves Profitable.

The Home for the Friendless had one
Of the most successful excursions ever
ran under its auspices yesterday, with
Binghamton as its destination.
The expedition was directed by Mrs.
Il. f. Chamberlain, chairman of the
finance committee, and much of its sue
cess was due to the. efforts OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Chamberlin, who have devoted
great deal Of time and labor to the
enterprise.
The managers OF the Home have also
contributed largely to the general re-
suits in selling so many tickets. To
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad company many thanks
are due for courtesies of the road and
for special attention shown in caring
for the safety and comfort of the ex-
cursionists. Passenger Agent NJ L.
Smith accompanied the train in person
and spared no trouble in lending his
assistance Bauer's band was a most
important factor in the enjoyment Of
the day and, as usual attracted crowds
of listeners.
Thirteen cars followed the regular
train yesterday morning and they were
filled to the uttermost. 1t was a rep
was fine and the trip was much en-
joyed. Binghamton was reached in
very good time and the excursionists
scattered to the homes of friends or
were conveyed to Ross park, or to the
beautiful Casino. nine miles away.
The street car accommodations to the
latter are in such a state of perfection
that the ride is an unmistakabe de-
light. The long cars are so construct
ed that front and sides are almost 2
continuous surface of glass, with but
the smallest portion of woodwork sep
arating the windows.
Such a delightful free park, high
class, and managed with the most com
plete order. makes life worth living to
city residents. 1t is provided entirely
| by the street car company Is not en-
closed by fences, and forms a charm
ing vista of fine landscape gardening
| with the natural beauties Of river,
| trees. rustic bridges and summer
houses, besides an enormous and hand
| some building devoted to an amuse-
ment hall. dining rooms, kitchens. etc.
The return trip was made in excel
lent time, following the regular train.
The management of the Home has rea-
son to feel well satisfied with this
autumnal outing and to be most CRATE
ful to its many kind friends who con-
tributed to its success.
The managers who were present were
Mrs. w. d. Kennedy, Mrs. John Center.
Mrs. f, f. Chamberlin. Mrs r. w.
Luce, Mrs. Daniel Langstaff, Miss Jen-
ME shannon, Mrs. Charles Schlager,

SEPTEMBER A CRITERION.

September is one Of the important
months of the year for shippers since
the amount Of coal moved may usually
be taken as a fair indication of the
movement to market during the re-
naming months Of the winter. Almost
without exception railroad officials ami
large shippers, not only in the anthra-
cite, but in the bituminous region az
well, are disturbed in mind as to from
where they are going to secure sufIic-
ent cars to enable them 10 meet the
demand which they believe will be
made upon them.
The production to September 1st has
been 5,S92000 tons greater than in 1898
and 100000 tons more than in 1895
Estimating the years output on the
basis given In previous letters, it will
be noted that there is convincing
uniformity in the tonnage indicated
by the output of the past three months:

A late press dispatch gives the
pleasing information that much op-
position is developing, even among
republicans, to the gold-bug fnan-
cial bill gotten up by the republican
committee. Among other things,
it says: "There seems to be no
doubt that the republicans will find
it difficult to agree on the monetary
reform bill drawn by the caucus
committee at the Atlantic City ses-
sion last summer. The republican
members have been investigating
some of the provisions of the bill
very carefully, as well as the full
text of the caucus committees re-
port. The bill is said not to be en-
tirely satisfactory to a majority OF
the members, while many of the
western members say it will be folly
to pass any such measure if the re-
publicans really desire to hold some
of the western states"

The Secret of the Strait.

Another expedition is going in
quest of "the secret of the strait.
For 400 years the secret has re
mained unsolved. Nowadays, geol-
ogists and geographers do not think
water connections exist between
the Atlaneic and the Pacific. That
the time was when the two conti-
nents were apart, these scientific
people believe. There are people
who find the secret of health as
hard to find. Three words tell the
way-a healthy stomach. The Sc
cret is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
It cures constipation, Indigestion,
dyspepsia and all liver and kidney
ailments. 1t cures them perma-
uently. And it brings relief at
once. All druggists keep it, and a
private revenue stamp covers the
neck of the bottle,
