THIS AND THAT.

The Lehigh Valley railroad uniform
inspector has condemned the spring
uniforms of the employees and measure
ments for new uniforms are now be-
ing taken. The company gives care
full attention to the uniforms of its
employees.
The Federal steel company, a West
ern born trust, has invaded the East
and now controls the Jackson and
Woodin Manufacturing company big
car building plant at Berwick, Pa. The
control was acquired by purchase and
the consideration is said to have been
S1,300,O00. This is the only plant east
of Pittsburg, which the above trust
controls and upon their assuming con-
troll March 1 will increase it's capac-
ity and operate on a larger scale.
The Lackawanna Iron and Steel COM
pany, of Scranton, through their man
ager, Frank l.. Grammer, announced
an increase of 10 per cent. in the wages
of all the employees in the vicinity of
Lebanon. The two Colebrook, two Bird

are affected and several hundred men
are interested.

through fashion, sometimes "an evil
custom"
The programme with but one eX-
ception was thoroughly Italian in spirit
and sentiment The intonation of the
unison passages were at times faulty
and some did not admire the tremolo
tones of the solo trombonist and Sig.
Messina, the trumpetist.
There Is vast difference of opinion
among the best band masters as to the
construction and Instrumentation of
band Sig. Sorrcntino has no slide
trombones, bassoons or French horns
and instead of cornets he uses the
trumpet. which in the hands of such
excellent artists lost the brassy quality
and instead there was a beautiful,
mellow tone. Aside from the tremolo
of Sig. Tebbo we have rarely listened
to a more luscious, oily, sensuous tone
and in the famous duet from Aida his
phrasing and expression were excellent,
the climax was thrilling and brought
invariably to mind the performance
of the opera at the Metropolitan in
New York.
The various marches and waltzes
given as encores were bewitching in
their rythmic cadences. given in style
peculiarly Sorrentinos. :. Mrs. Mar
Marshall Pease gave the only vocal
number in a good, sonorous contralto
voice, displaying considerable fervor
and feeling, but here again comes the
evil tremolo. which mars so many
otherwise splendid renditions. The
duet scene from "Il Trovatore." by
| Sig Tcbbo and the second trumpeter,
was probably the most popular and best
appreciated of the whole programme.
The audience that greeted Sig Sor-
rentino and his band in the evening
was not large, but displayed an un-
usual amount of enthusiasm, and dur
ing the performance the leader was
presented with a handsome basket of
flowers from admirng countrymen in
this city who formed a goodly portion
of the audience. The programme was
rendered in q way that merited the
evidences of approval given by the list
eners, the closing selection from Car
! men" being particularly noticeable for
the artistic Interpretation of the var
! ious themes.

The New York Investor OF Saturday
contained an article on "Unifying An
thracite Interests" part of which is
as follows:
In carrying forward the plan for a COM
plete unitication of the anthracite inter
ests, a syndicate has been formed to pUr-
chase the properties of the Independent
operators. Already Messrs. Simpson &
Watkins, Of Scranton, and some of their
friends have disposed of their colleries TO
the syndicate in question, and il is sur
missed that these gentlemen have now
really become the agents Of the syndicate,
and will do all they possibly can to Sc
cure large tonnage.
The organizatonof this syndicate no
doubt grew out OF the fact, that the pres
ent anthracite carriers had a fear that
the projected. operators road-thc New
ork, Wyoming and Western-was some
thing more than Il threat. There was
grave danger that it might be an accom-
plished fact While it's operation might
not have yielded the profits reckoned on
by its promters. nevertheless it's Construc-
tion would be an additional burden, on
an already oVer-burdcned industry, with
the certain eff ct of there being an ultl.
mate depreciation in values It's advent
in the situation, would be a disturber of
present a1otments and arrangements, en-
failing possible loss and disaster.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Camp Mackenzie, Augusta, Ga, Feb.
ga requiem Of praise went up from
the members of the Thirteenth today
in living remembrance of Private obed
Michaels, of Company c. who passed
away this morning at half past six
o'clock in the division hospital, to
which institution he was taken on the
seventh of the present month. Death
was due to severe cold, which devol-
oped into bronchitis and caused heart
trouble. Last Wednesday after hard
struggle he rallied, and showed signs
OF improvement for a time, but a case
of typhoid fever contracted during
the summer and from the effects of
which he had never fully recovered,
together with lack of hope in recov-
cry, helped to undermine all spirit and
sap his ply sical strength. He began
to sink slowly Friday evening, when
his father was notified, and this morn
ing Just as the drums were beating re-
veillc one of the best and most re-
spected soldiers Of the regiment passed
away to be numbered with the coun-
try's brave and to pitch his tent on
the eternal camping ground"
While the regiment was stationed
at Camp Alger, Private Michael was
stricken with typhoid fever and spent
six weeks in the hospital at Pottsville.
Recovering. he went home on a fur
Tough and the day before Thanksgiving
reioined his company at Camp Mac
kenzie, Augusta, Ga. 1t was thought
by his relatives at home that he had
not fully regained his normal health
and they urged him to remain at home
a while longer. He, however, was
anxious to join his comrades.
Private Michaels was 20 years of
age and was a member of the Ma
tional Guard for nearly two years. His
father lives near Stroudsburg, Mon
roe county, but for some time the de-
ceased has lived with his aunt Mrs.
Jacob r. Ace, of $50 Irving avenue. He
was a miller by trade and had been
a faithful employe at Seybolt's mill.
Deceased was born at Tunkhan-
mock, but about seven years ago came
here to reside. Shortly afterwards his
parents removed to Stroudsburg. He
was a member of the United Evangel-
ical church, but for some time previous
to going away with the regiment he
attended church and Sunday school
in the Grace Reformed church. He
was a member of the Patriotic Order
Sons of America, and his application
for admission to the knights of Malta
was favOrably passed upon, the mus
tering in of the regiment, however.
intervening before he could be initiated
The members of Company c. headed
by Captain Robling, went to the hos
pital this morning to pay their last
respects to their deceased brother and
as further mark of their regard they
contributed at once $15, in order to
procure better coffin than that fur
nished by the government. The re-
mains were shipped to Scranton.
Private Michaels is the nineteenth.
and, it is hoped the last member of
the Thirteenth TO sacrifice their lives
for the government. and to answer the
great roll call. Especially under the
present circumstances his death is
much regretted by the boys.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE, RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, but Look for
the Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry of American
business life, it is more often the re-
suit of weak stOmachs. of poor diges-
ton,
Real organic disease is incurable;
but not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves. the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart Is
effected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food There is a
feeling OF oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure of the
distended stomach on the heart ana
lungs, interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which ir-
ritates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the diges-
tion and to insure the prompt assimi-
lation of food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive
elements in pleasant, convenient
form.
1t is safe to say that the regular
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form Of stomach trouble except cancer
of the stomach.
Full sized packages of these tablets
sold by druggists at so cents. Little

COAL TRADE SITUATION.


The Engineering and Mining Journal
of Saturday thus reviews the condi-
tion of the hard coal trade:
The weather during the week has been
mild enough to allow breakers to run
without trouble, and permit railroads to
get their lines well opened. AS a result
the supplies of coal at tidewater points
have been ample. The ice-bound slips az
New York are open and all fears of a coal
famine are ended for this winter The
cold wave has certainly cleared the way
for a good seasons business by getting
rid of a lot of old stocks at stocking
grounds, and in yards and cellars. New
coal must take it's place, and in spite of
warm days spring is not yet here, and a
lot of coal will go into cellars during this
month and March.
In the west, though the demand for an
thracito dropped as the thermometer rose
stocks have been reduced and there is still
n lot of coal charging hands Business at
Duluth has been brisk and the shortage
of anthracite is more apparent. II is re-
ported that less than $4,000 tons are on
the docks at the head of the lakes
Considerable attention has been paid to
the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
annual meeting, from speculat!ons con-
cerning the retirement of Mr.. Samuel
Sloan and the policy of his successor. IT
now looks as if little change is likely in
the policy of the road. Mr.. Truesdeli
who, according TO report, is to succeed
Mr. Sloan. will probably find that he will
have to make the road pay dividends, aud
as long as the Delaware, LaCkawanna
and Western is Independent of other an
thracite interests agreements will amount
to much in the future as in the past.
