SONS OF VETERANS.
New Division Commander Elected by n
Small Majority.

New Division Commander Elected by "A
Small Majority.
The principal feature of yesterdays en-
campment of the Sons of Veterans, in session
at Hazleton, was the annual parade. About
500 members were in line, and the town was
crowded with visitors.
The business session consisted mostly of
routine work. A motion made by delegate
from Philadelphia to reduce the salary of the
Quartermaster from $500 to $500 and that of
the Adjutant from $500 to $500 caused a
lengthy discussion. 1t was finally defeated.
The election of officers then took place.
The first office to be illod was that of
Division Commander, for which there were
three applicants. There was a spirited con-
test but S. S. Horn. of Easton, was elected by
majority of one.
For Quartermaster, w. B. McNulty. of
Philadelphia, defeated his opponents by a
good majority, he having secured 1852 votes :;
VIM. Nash, Scranton, 10 John Carl of Mt.
Carmel, 1873 votes. This mornings session
was devoted to the election of the other Off
ces, after which the installation of the newly
elected officers took place and the convention
adjourned.
The next encampment will be held at New
Castle, Pa.

HYPNOTIC POWER.
Prof. John d. QunckcnboA neiieves
II the only Cure for Certain
Vices and Moral Defects.

There were latter-day miracles de-
scribed the other day by man of the
highest standing and reputation--n
professor of great university-in
which he was the miracle worker Hum
dreds of intelligent, well-breG, well-in-
formed men and women listened, ap-
plauded and believed. All this hap
pened in the parlors of the Hotel Ma
jestic, New York city. Prof. John D..
Quackenbos, of Columbia university,
one Of the most distinguished liv-
ing psychologists and man who
has devoted large part of his
life to scientific study Of hyp-
notism, presented to the mem
bers of tho society known as the Psy-
chic Study club and their friends typ
| ical illustrations taken from his case
book of certain vices and moral de-
fects, with an outline of the treatment
he pursued and the results he OBJ
tained.
These cnses included excessive cigar
cite smoking, hopeless dishonesty,
ltleptomnnia and dangerous delusions.

notlsm is the greatest of moral forces.
Among other things Prof. Quackenbos
said:
Human beings are hypnotized by
other human beings between whom and
themselves exists peculiar sympathy
or harmonious relationship known MS
rapport.
II have reached the conclusion that
every person of ordinary intellectual
cUpacity can hypnotic some other per-
son, and that the great mass of men are
hypnotizable.
"The success of hypno-science meth
ods depends largely on the desire of
the patient to be cured. Given this,
and the battle is more than half fought.
As rule, there is no hope of securing
the consent of patient while the con-
trolling passion is the pnroxysm. But
in the subsequent reactionary stage ap-
peal may often successfully be made
] TO the regrets, fears, self-respect, or
higher instincts of the unfortunate,
and acquiescence Is thus secured"

"OLD MASTERS" {"
Paris, Antwerp and London Estnb-
Iishments That Have Imposed on
CFeduIIty of Americans.

New York, according to report, is
rapidly becoming very paradise for
manufacturers Of paintings by the
great masters. 1t is stated, says the
Cincinnati Commercial, that there en-
list in Paris and Antwerp and London
establishments that have grown rich
beyond the fear of penury by making
spurious masterpieces for American
millionaires who feel the necessity OF
forming picture galleries in order to
show their appreciation of the proper
caper, and now the foreign art critics
are giggling and poking fun at us be-
cause our men of wealth have not re-
flected that canvases attributed to Van
Dyck, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Gainsbor-
ough, Constable, Romney, Ruysdnel
and other famed masters, that have
come hither In foods, cannot by any
possibility be original, but are neces-
sarily for the most part forgeres, made
to meet steadily growing demand.

MUsKETEERs ARE ALL WOMEN
Novel Performance Is Given MS n
benefit In New York
city.

"The Musketeers" was produced at
the Broadway theater, New York, the
other day without the aid of any male
tho box Office man excepted. 1t was
the fourth annual benefit of the Profess
sional Women's league and ii was a
brilliant hit in every way. 1t had been
postponed once or twice because the
women found that they could not prop
erly rehearse dueling, swnshbuckling
and kneeling at one another's feet in
skirts, and they had TO wait until trou-
sers were made for them so that they
might learn the art of staggering cor
rectly.
The success of the afternoon was
Maude Banks D'Artngnan. She played
1t with boyish naivete that was de-
lghtful. Her admirers in the orchestra
will not be content with any other In
depreciation hereafter. The Porthos
and Aramis of Jennie Winston and
Margaret st. John were full of humor
and not lacking in force. Pauline Will
lard, as the Comte De Rochefort, wore
q military beard and staggered about
in way not necessarily masculine, but
that still gave good idea of male
villain.
Richelieu, pictured by Marie VAIN
wright, had n voice that was somewhat
feminine, but she wore n well-ftting
mustache and imperial. The old scoun-
drel, Bonacieux, was comically rem
dered by Sarah McVicker. Grace Hunt
Ing was duke of Buckingham, very
tall and very plump.

WHY
IS
IT2

(Continued from last weeks adver-
tlsement,)
We contend that most people make
their own hard times by spending their
money without thought, without know
ing the value of the articles bought,
and lne prices they can be bought for
at cash. They think all stores are
alike in one respect, that Is they charge
all they can get, and the poor or those
who have little money have to pay che
highest prices This is true when these
people get little money ahead and
step into the first store and buy with
out being posted on prices, or take a
book and have the goods charged, at
any price. We will quote some prices
on goods we sell and give the regular
prices which the same goods sell at
elsewhere:
Madras Silks, our price 39c; regular
price so to 60c a yard.
French Organdie Lawns, our price
121sc; regular price 35c yard.
Black and Fancy Grenadines, our
price 10c; regular price 20 to 25c a
yard.
China Silks, in dark and light colors,
our price 25c; regular price 35c yard.
Jaconet Lawns, colored, our price,
&c; regular price 15c yard.
40in Worsted Dress Goods, our price
1Sc; regular price 25c a yard.
Double Fold Dress Goods, our price
SIC; regular price 1Oc a yard.
Double Fold Dress Goods, our price
Sc; regular price 10c a yard.
Yard wide Percales, at and 6Ac a
yard; regular price 15c.
1..e above are some OF the bargains
we offer in our Dress Goods Depart
ment to show the saving that can be
made on them. Our stock is large,
