NORTH SCRANTON CAVE.
Caused Delay in Street Car Traffic on
Saturday.

Another extensive cave occurred
Saturday afternoon on Main avenue,
near Jones street. An excavation had
been made under the car tracks for
the purpose of connecting a private
house with the Main sewer and the
weight of the passing cars caused @
general cave-in.
This delayed the street car traffic for
a considerable length of time, but
heroic measures were adopted and the
hole was quickly filled, allowing the
cars to pass over in safety.

TRANSFER APPROVED.
Thomas Opinion of Ques-
ton Affecting a Liquor License.

In an opinion rendered in the matter of
the application of Karl Xander for permis-
sion to transfer his wholesale liquor bust
ness from 439 K street to 7th street be-
tween and Q the attorney for the Dis
trict holds that the fact that the Salvation
Army has a place in which religious meet
ings are held within 400 feet of the loca-
ton to which Mr.. Xander desires his liquor
license transferred does not stand in the
way of the excise board acting favoraby
upon this application If they see fit.
The granting of the permit by the excise
board was opposed by the Anti-Saloon
League on the ground that the Salvation
Army has place of worship within 400
feet of the point to which Mr.. Xander pro-
posed to transfer his business. On behalf
of Mr.. Xander it was submitted that the
words of the law, house of religious wor-
ship do not mean any house in which re-
ligious worship is indulged in, if so they
would apply to many private dwellings.
The question was referred by the Com
missfoners to their attorney, who prefaced
his decision by quoting the following pro-
vision of the act of 1893: THAT license for
any of the purposes specified in any sec
ton of said act shall not be granted to
any person to conduct such business within
400 feet of a public school house private
school house of religious worship, ex-
cept in such places of business as were
located and licensed at the date of the said
act or previous to the erection or occupa-
ton of such school house, private school
or place of religious worship
The opinion concludes as follows: I'm my
judgment the phrase or place of religious
worship contained in the sixteenth section
of the act of March 3, 1898, as amended,
is governed by the phrase house of re-
ligious worship used twice before in the
same connection, and means the same thing
the house of religious worship. 1t is
general and primary rule of construction,
where there is nothing in the statute to
indicate that word is used in peculiar or
technical sense, that it is to be taken in
its ordinary and popular meaning. 1t is
manifest that Congress used the words
house of religious worship in their ordi-
nary and popular sense-that is. as mean
ing a building dedicated to religious wor-
ship. In my opinion the fact that the Sal
walton Army has place in which religious
meetings are held. within 400 feet of the
location to which Mr.. Xander desires his
liquor license transferred, does not stand
in the way of the excise board acting favor
ably upon his application. If they see fit

student and became his managing clerk,
leaving Mr.. Root to practice on his own ac
count, which shortly became large and lu-
crative He made special studies of con-
stitutional and international law, and being
fluent French, German and Spanish
scholar, he had the advantage of reading in
the original
AMliatiOn With the Cubans.
He was the intimate friend of Jose Marti
and cassmate of Gonzalo de Quesada,
and thus became an ardent and ever-zeal-
Gus adherent of the cause of Cuban nde-
pendence.
Two years before the last revolution
broke out he was the confidential legal
counselor of the Cubans under Marti and
Quesada's leadership, and during the recent
war he was counsel of the Cuban delega-
ton in this country and of the Cubans
abroad. He received the thanks of all the
administrations of the Cuban republic, and
was counselor of the Garcia commission
which came to Washington some time
since.
The Ezeta Case.
One of the most notable legal triumphs
of Mr.. Rubens was his victory in behalf
of General Ezeta, vice president of San
Salvador, who fled to San Francisco with
his staff after the rebellion of 1894. The
Salvadoreans sought the extradition of
Ezeta and his companions, and the case is
regarded as the most celebrated extradi-
ton case on the books, involving as it did
many new and intricate points. He has
represented Spansh-American interests in
this country for several years, and in 1896
was decorated by the government of Nene-
zuela with the Order of the Bust of the
Liberator. Mr.. Rubens is a gentleman of
attractive personality, and has the rare
faculty of inspiring confidence, which he
enjoys to a very wide extent. He married
Miss Lamar of Georgia, a charming wo-
man, who is very popular in social circles
north and south.

Advanced Medical Science knows of no more
powerful Alternative medicine than Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Alternative medicines,
socalled because they alter or change the condition
of the system, have ranked among the most valued
of medicines prescribed by physicians. 1t is by the
sk1llful and scientific combination of several such
alternatives that DR.. Pierce has produced altera-
tive remedy, having the specific value of each in
gredient and the combined and concentrated power
OF all these alternatives in union, which are so
blended and so balanced, that they unite the great
est dellcacy of operation with the utmost healing
power 1t is these facts which give this greatest
OF alternatives genuine claim to the title of 4
Discovery
primarily directed to the stomach and the nutritive
Or digestive system. Here is common starting
place Of disease.
What "Weak Stomach" Msans.
There never was a strong man with "weak
stomach And a so-caled weak stomach may
and often does mean weak heart weak liver or weak
lungs Why? Because in the stomach the nour-
lshment for each organ of the body is prepared and
from the stomach it is distributed Bread kneaded
in sour trough will take the taint of the trough
Food mixed and prepared in tainted stomach will
take the faint and poison of that stomach all over
the system, to finally lodge at the weakest point of
some weak organ. Hence it is that in curing the
stomach and other organs of digestion and nutri-
ton, and in increasing the activity of the blood
making glands, " Golden Medical Discovery at
once begins to send throughout the body an in
creased supply of pure blood, because the blood is
made from the food taken into the stomach, and
with the weak stomach" made strong and foul
blood made pure, comes change to other organs
which gather strength to throw off disease
" Golden Medical Discovery works with Nature;
it puts into Natures hand the only weapon with
which she can fight disease.
SIXTEEN YEARS OF SUFFERING.
The power of the Discovery is best exempli-
fed in its cures of chronic cases. where after years
OF suffering and when doctors had utterly failed to
help, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
made perfect and permanent cure. Such case is
that of Mrs. Suggs.
For the past sixteen years torpid liver and ndi-
not get writes Mrs Simeon Suggs of Clyde Sabine
Parish La Three months thought would try Dr. "
Perce Golden Medical Discovery and his Pleasant Pellets
bottles of each and received good result week
and to-day cured sound and we'll. SYMPTOMS were
tongue speck before the disposed and
irritable foul stomach bad mouth feeling feel
ing OF dread headache yellow skin symp-
toms did not all appear once"
There are thousands of people struggling along
day after day, handicapped by disease who could be
made healthy and happy by the use of Golden
Medical Discovery 1t has cured ninety-eight
people in every hundred who have given it fair
