No RIGHT to Ugliness.

The woman who is lovely in face, form and
temper will always have friends, but one who
would be attractive must keep her health. If
she is weak, sickly and all run down, she
will be nervous and irritable. If she has
constipation or kidney trouble, her impure
blood will cause pimples blotches, skin erup-
tons and a wretched complexion. Electric
Bitters is the best medicine in the world to
regulate stomach, liver and kidneys and to
purify the blood. 1t gives strong nerves,
bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, rich com
plexon. 1t will make a good-looking,
charming woman of a rundown invalid Only

Ed. HERALD: An infant child Of A. Gold
man died yesterday, and being member of
the Sons of Abraham congregation and not
having graveyard of their own asked the
Kehielos of Israel congregation to bury the
infant in their cemetery, but they wanted
Sl5 first, finally agreed to take $40, but Mr..
Goldman could not pay that amount, so
Potlsville congregation offered to bury the
child for nothing. The fact is that President
Levi Refowich is not home, and had he been
home it might not have occurred. Some
lime ago the cemetery had to be fixed up,and
the members of the Sons of Abraham con-
gregatiOn each contributed towards it, In
their constitution is a clause which says a
poor man, when a member of his family dies,
the congregation bury them free of any cost.
But this member, because he belonged to the
new congregation, although very poor, was
refused that privilege and il looks more like
spite work on the part Of the trustees.

President Sons Of Abraham Congregation.

FILLING UP THE MINES.
Cl.Im Being Used to Prevent Further
Cave-ins at Mahanoy City

The Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company commenced in earnest to-day
on a gigantic contract, calculated to restore
Mahanoy City to its original stability. For
some time back scares have been frequent
along the main business thOrOughfares, by
the earth settling into underground work
ings, which honeycOmb the town in almost
every direction The situation continued to
grow alarming, and to counteract its effect
the company have contracted to restore to
the coal robbed and abandoned chambers,
the contents of many unsghtly 6ulm banks
which dot surrounding mountains.
Huge scraper lines have been erected back
of the Philadelphia and Reading station
which will convey this culm from North
MahanOy and Glendou colleries to a shaft on
the hillside, where it will be forced down
into the old unused workings and slushed
tightly into the effected parts They also
hope to crystalize the culm after it has
reached the earth's bowels, thus preventing
further subsdence. The work will continue
for nearly year employing two hundred
men, and will cost many thousand dollars.

ON THE nARCH.
Musician Pettee Wrote the Following
Letter Just Before the N. DIS
Start With Lawton.

Tomorrow morning will probably be
our last day in town for quite a while, so
I'll try and send homo a few lines. Day
before yesterday, at about noon, the very
hottest part of the day, we got orders to
go to Guadalupe, a distance of nearly
eight miles, and after establishing camp,
we had to go three miles more out to the
firing line. It was a very hard march,
and the same night we received orders
to prepare to o in thirty-six hours
with twenty days travel rations. Hard
tack, canned meat, baked beans and
"sow-belly" are all we'll have to eat now
for a couple of weeks, that being all that
is furnished troops while on the march.
So the next day, yesterday, we had to
"hike" in to quarters again. That made
us pretty tired, and the good nights rest
we had last night has done a good deal
to freshen the boys up.
We are to form part of a 'fying'' bri-
gade to capture some towns north of
Malolos, and we leave tomorrow after
noon at 2 o'clock. Our regiment is the
only volunteer regiment in the expedi-
ton, and we will also have several bat
teries of artillery and one battalion of
cavalry.
l hear tonight we go from here to Ma
lolos by rail. The government has entire
control of the railroad. Well probably
see m hard fighting and marching,
but the boys are all anxious to go. If
we can 60 home after the niggers are
licked, we'll be there pretty soon, but we
have no authoritative information as yet.
All the new regiments here are crook
les" in every ems of the word, and know
about as much about wal as a pig does
about holidays. The government is rap
idly coming to the conclusion that the
best fighting men are those same "vol-
unteers" whom Gen. Lawton laughed to
scorn when he first got here.
The weather here is getting awfully
hot. Haven't seen any thermometers,
but l guess it's somewhere above 100
most of the time. I don't, as yet, antici-
pate any bad effects from the heat, but
my blood gets intensely hot and 1 some
times fear sunstroke. The knee I hurt
at Fargo feels a little weak when we
have hard marching, but as a whole, 1
am in excellent health.
This will probably be the last you hear
from me for sometimo-perhaps three
weeks, but I'll send a few lines if posi-
BILE. All the boys are we'll excepting
Piatt Dunn, who is now convalescing at
Corregidor Island. Will.

The Pioneer Press, which is generally
level headed, ridicules the idea sug-
gested by some of the rainbow chasing
newspapers of the twin cities that all of
the Philippine volunteers be mustered
out in the Twin cities, on the occasion of
a peace jubilee, and be reviewed by
President Mckinley. The Pioneer
Press asks if it is supposed that the
troops of the other states can be reason
able asked to give up hundreds of thous-
ands n travel pay for the sake of con-
tributing to a festival of peace in the
Twin cities, and the Pioneer Press is long
headed on the proposition.
