YOuNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad.
vanced years are realized by compara'
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account OF their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine TO shorten the period ofusefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs Pinkham has done much 60 make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
Gus health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly com
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. J. c. Orms, of 22o
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR Mrs. PINEHAM:-I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that I
think your remedies are wonderful.
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies l am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. l can eat and
sleep we'll and am gaining in flesh. 1
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand niling
women during single year.

At the meeting of common council
on Thursday evening the ordinance
providing for the grading of streets in
Fairview park passed first and second
readings This ordinance has been
hanging fire for a long time, and will
in all probability pass final reading
soon.
Some time ago Councilman Oliver M
troduced an ordinance at the instance
Of the property owners for the accept
ance of all streets which have already
been graded by the Fairv;ew Park
Land company in that section of the
Fifteenth ward lying between Eynon
street Main avenue and the Round
woods on the westerly side of &lajn
avenue, and between O'Connor's court
on the north, School court on the SOUTH
and the tracks of the Bloomsbury Gi-
vision of the Delaware, LacNawonra
and Western railroad on the east side
OF Main avenue.
Some dispute arose relative 20 differ
ent grades that have been given at
different times, and the matter will
be Investigated by the streets and
bridges committee of the select coun-
Gil at o'clock this afternoon. The
committee comprises j. A. Lansing,
chairman; Finlay Ross Edward James,
Peter Mccain and Thomas j. Coync.
Common Councilman Joseph Oliver
will be present in the interest Of the
property owners and representative
Of the Land company will also be pres
ent. The grade given by the city en-
gineer on the westerly side of Main
avenue will have to be altered to cor
form with the original grade given 10
the Land company.
The property owners are anxious to
have the matter settled on account Of
the many incOnveniences existing un-
der the circumstances. Until the streets
are accepted by the city the properly
owners are without light and water
protection in case of fire.
During the recent cold weather the
residents in that section suffered many
Inconvenience on account Of the lack
of water, and are anxious to secure the
necessary protection from the city.

Natural Gas Burning in the Marvine
Mine-Gymnastic Glass for La
dies-Church Services and
Other Notes of Interest.

Although Scranton cannot boast of
a very great supply Of natural gas, yet
there is one place in the city where it
flows in abundance. At the Marvin
mines, in the Clark vein, back beneath
the mountain a sufficient quantity CT
the gas is flowing constantly. When
this never failing supply of gas was
discovered the mine foreman concluded
to make some substantial use of it.
He had a we'll built up around the
fissure from which the gas was flowing,
forming q sort Of tank or chamber A
two-inch pipe was run from this reser-
Vor to the foot" then UP the shaft
to the fire rooms and engine house.
In the former six jets were placed ard
in the engine room the same number.
Three Jets were placed in the "fric-
tion" house and six at the foot of the
shaft and each inside planes.
The total number of twenty-one Jets
thus illuminate the entire plant from
a source over a mile away. Those who
have never seen natural gas used for
practical purposes would find it a novel
sight in the mines.
