made. Recently valuable addition has

Is the steam Locomotive DOOMED,

Men who ought to know say that in the next
10 years every steam locomotive will disappear
completely and electric motors will supplant
them. They also say that with the new motive
power trains will rush along at a minimum speed
of 100 miles an hour. This will prove a great
blessing to those who wish to go quickly from
one point TO another, but no more so than Hos
letters Stomach Bitters has proved a blessing to
those who wish to go quickly from sickness to
health This is not an idle assertion, but plain
truth. The BitteIs act at once upon stubborn
cases OF dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness, liver
complaint, kidney disease, malaria and fevers.
They improve appetite, purify the blood, quiet
the nerves, and induce sound, refreshing sleep

Save the Trees In the Park.

Are we TO leave the trees on our beauti-
full PARK to die without an effort to save
them from the ravages of" the caterpillar
They are fine trees of many years growth,
and were set out by the teachers and stu
dents of the seminary years ago, and the
remark has often been made 10y the old
students when they have revisited the
place, That they knew just where to look
on the park for the trees they themselves
set out" 1t does seem as though the viii
layers should rise en- masse and do all in
their power to stay the injury that is be-
ing done. In large sugar orchards we
know but little could be done, but it does
seem as though the work of trying to save
the trees on the park was one that would
be of interest to every resident of the viii
lage For what would our park be were
the trees to die for want of care, instead of
being clothed in their beautiful verdure.

Rev. q. w. Welsh, pastor Of the Cal
vary Reformed church, preached SER
mon on the subject 1.-THE Evils of the
City and Their Cure to a large audi
cncc at yesterday mornings service.
The sermon in part follows:
Paul says in Acts, XXi:S9, that he was
n citizen of ''no mean city Ana by
studying contemporaneOus history we
learn that he meant a city which was
noted for it's education. its free gov
Crnmcnt. its loyalty to the laws, ana
it's commerce. If citizen of SCran-
ton were asked for the name of his
home he could not answer in Pauis
speech and say, 81 am a citizen of no
mean city"
In speaking OF the condition of our
city | meet with this maxim, "A chain
is as strong as its weakest link But
like all such sayings. it is only true in
part. For If the weakest link is not
used the chain is stronger than the
weakest link.
So also with the government and life
of city. If the lower elements are al
lowed to enter into and control the life
of Il city the life will be contaminated
and polluted and the city will fan in
the estimation Of the onlooker
We are too inconsistent in our life
and work. For instance: We suppress
all things as nuisanccs which endan-
ger our physical lives; we build sew
erS: We prevent the pollution of water.
food and drink; we display cards to
warn against disease. and establish
quarantine regulations: we cry about
dust and gcrm-ladcn streets; and we
prohibit splitting i'm our street cars.
But, when men start to control or even
restrain the influences which coHtamin-
ate and ruin our spiritual being, which
means n suffering in this life and a
damnatiOn in the next we are halted
by a cry of personal liberty" from
those restrained; by "rashness," from
the lukewarm; by "be careful" from
the politician. ana by threat of dis
approval or removal by those in power.
1t is this Inconsistency that is used by
the dcpraved and those who pander to
the evil tastes and lusts Of their fellow
men to carry on their trade and to
seduce the very elect.
EVILS ARE MANY.
But we cannot dwell too long on the
cause, for ii is the present condition
that we must deal with. The evils of
our city are many so much so that
the city is known far and wide as the
most wicked city in Pennsylvania
There is one kind of keen advertisers
reliable nearly always, which are not
taken into account. They are the
travelling men. And the universal YER
dict of this fraternity is that Scranton
ranks second to none, and has few
equals.
Some other cities rank us in partCu-
lar vices. But nowhere can there be
found such a combination Of vice and
crime as in this city.
Some cities are wicked. but i'm a
yearly diminishing scale. But nowhere
is there such a system of licensed,
blaCkmailed, COuntcnanCed and unre-
strained wickedness as in Scranton.
The chief evils. too, are the common
ones, j. e., infraCtions of the LIQUOR
law, immoral deeds and traffic: OBJ
