TWO REMARKABLE CURES
Of Two Prominent and Well-Known
People.
A Catarrh Cure that Cures.
Some seasonable Spring Sayings.

Springtime has come at last, and now
Is the time for all catarrh sufferers to
begin systematic course of treatment
for this disease. The greatest difficulty
in the way of treating chronic catarrh
is that the patient is SO liable to catch
cold during the treatment and thus de-
lay the cure. This liability at this sea-
son of the year is, in great measure,
removed, and no one should neglect
the opportunity to begin treatment.

of the Chicago North Side Woman's

CAUSE OF THE DROUGHT.
Weathermen Clarke, of Binghamton,
and Paine of This City Inter
viewed on the Dry Spell.

The long-continued drought and the
particularly dense fogs which have
visited this city and valley within the
last few years are becoming topics of
general conversation and great con-
Germ is being manifested as to the
probable duration of the former
United States Weather Observer f.
II. Clarke, who is stationed in Bing-
hamton, was in the city yesterday at
the request of Willis Moore chief Of
the weather bureau, and consulted
with Secretary d. b. Atherton, of the
board of trade, in regard to the fur
nishing of weather maps and reports
to those in this city who may desire
them.
In speaking of the drought Mr..
Clarke said that it was general
throughout the entire country and
that in this particular vicinity there
is no hope Tor any relief in the shape
of heavy rainstorm for the present,
at least He said the absence of rain
was caused by the detection of storms
originating in the northwest at the
great lakes. These storms generally
come east, but for some unknown rea-
son they have stopped at the Great
lakes for some time past. Mr.. Clarke
said that fog coming on at o'clock
in the evening, as the one Wednesday
night did, was an especially peculiar
freak of nature, and he offered no eX-
planation for it's cause, stating that
he was ignorant of local conditions.
II. +. Paine. the local weather OBJ
server, when seen yesterday, said that
he thought the fOgs were caused by
the large amount of moisture which
has been in the air for the past few
days and which was quickly con-
densed by a sudden slight drop in the
temperature. Mr. Paine also stated
that there was no immediate prospect
of rain.
The weather maps which Mr.. Clarke
makes are issued daily and give up to
midnight on the day previous the high
est maximum and lowest minimum
temperature of all places in the United
States where there are weather sta
tions. They also give the velocity of
the wind and the amount of rainfall
in these places. Not only this, but
the general state of the weather in all
of these points at s o'clock in the
port is issued is also shown.
The map is made from these reports
and at a single glance shows the tenn
perature of the entire country. These
maps and reports will be sent from
Binghamton on the train leaving
there at 11.02 p. m. and arriving here
! shortly before 1 o'clock Any business
man desiring one may have one mailed
to him every day free by communicate
| ing with Secretary Atherton and
agreeing to display them in a promi-
| nent place.
| These reports and maps are of meal
| culable benefit to wholesale merchants
| and shippers of perishable goods
! showing them whether the climatic
| conditions which their shipments
would have to pass through were fav.
| orable or not.

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.
Hunt Residence and Elm Park Tri-
angle Change Hands.

A real estate deal Of considerable
importance was recently concluded by
which Frank NJ. Vandling became the
owner of the beautiful home built and
occupied by A. +. Hunt at the corner
of jefferson avenue and Pine street.
The house Is one of the most at
tractive i'm the city and has been built
but a few years. Mr.. Vandlng pro-
poses to make a number of changes
in the property and will probably take
possession about the first of the year.
The consideration for this fine prop
erty is not made public, but it is sup
posed to be somewhere in the neigh
borhood OF s25,OOO 1t is understood
that Mr.. Hunt intends continuing in
his own name the business conducted
for some years as the firm Of Hunt &
Connell.
Another real estate affair which will
interest large number of people is
the acquisition of the triangle adjoin-
ing Elm Park church by Messrs. Char
les Schlager, John T. Porter, c. d.
Jones and G. F. Reynolds.
That particular spot of ground,
though not large, has been the source
Of much concern to many residents
outside the congregation of Elm Park
church, who'have feared that the beau
tiful property would be marred by
some unsightly building If the church
did not secure possession of it.
In fact, plans were drawn by one
set of owners to build a caravansery-
like tenement house close up to the
rear of the church. For some reason
the arrangements were not completed
and now all suspense will be at end,
as the property is in hands of mem-
bers of that congregation.
1t is not yet made public as to
whether the church will purchase the
land, which would make such an at
tractive addition to that fine site.
There was a time but few years ago
when it could have been bought for
$S,0O0 and not a few members Of the
| official board regret that such n step
was not then taken. The recent own
ers, DR.. J.. NJ. Gates and j. w. Brown
ing, paid $4,000 for the small bit of
land and it is understood have made
but little on it's sale.

ORDERED THE WORK STOPPED.
South Side Sewer Operations Are
Again Interrupted.

City Engineer Phillips visited the
scene of the construction of the Seven
teenth district main sewer at South
Scranton. yesterday, and ordered Con-
tractor Coons to suspend work until he
gave him permission to resume.
The cause OF Mr.. Phillips action was
due to many complaints which have
been made to him, that Coons is using
on the work sand that is taken from
the dirt eXcavated along the line of
the sewer.
This allegation, Mr.. Coons stated to
Tribune reporter last night, was un-
true, He says the sand used is pro-
cured from Pittston and Harrisburg,
and has met the approval of the city
engineer.
Work will be again resumed this
morning, Mr.. Coons stated, Mr. Phil
lips having made an examination OF
the sand and became satisfied that it
was up to the standard, and that the
complaints made to him We're not well
grounded.
