THE DOCTORS DOUBTS.

During the examination the Doctor
expressed his doubts as to whether the
man had been infected by the plague,
inasmuch as the Chinese about the
place stated ne mad been sick for near
ly a month. The greatest care had to
be exercised in preventing blood or
other fluids from the body of the Chi

Large quantities of disinfectants were
used in cleansing persons, and in scat

was rapidly commencing to turn" it
was sewn up and covered with it's bur-
ial clothes and a guard placed at the
door to prevent its being removed or
touched by the relatives.
It was gruesome work making an
autopsy, especially in view of the sus-
pected presence of the dread disease,

porter, and a health guard, with their

their work, determined to probe the
deaths and give the scientific
and meteorological experts an opportu-
nifty to reach a conclusion whether or
not the plague had actually carried
them thither.

DR.. Vose spoke substantially as fol-
lows: We all need companionship. We
hnd ourselves in finding others. By in
tercourse with men, man finds larg-
er truth. He responds to the sentiment
OF the poet that "One touch of nature
makes the whole world kin" Our Sa-
vior both learned and taught because
He understood the advantage of asso-
citation. We like To be among men and
know what is going on in the world.
Therefore we join together in clubs or
in lodges. III we did not have some fell
lowship of some kind this world would,
indeed, be a lonesome place. III man
belongs to chosen order he must not
only have respect for himself, but must
also be able to inspire respect in others
We must be associated with men who
can do things that we cannot and that
can bring TO us an experience that will
answer TO ours. Christ wanted to have
those about Him who could learn from
Him.
Your society is wide enough to take
them all in. Brotherhood does not mean
bringing all men to a dead level.
Brotherhood is not equality in character
or attainments. 1t is sometimes spoken
of as though IL was, but IL isn't. Broth
erhood does not take away the desire
TO excel We help others by doing the
best we can, but we are never able 20
help UthgrS unless we are doing our
best ourselves. Brotherhood demands
respect for the talents OF others. True
brotherhood means that there must be
some leaders. You must be helpers, fell
low laborers with God and man.
rejoice. then. gentlemen, in your prin-
ciple OF brotherhood. You would not
keep men down, you would help them
to rise. We look to you TO maintain the
struggle by urging every man to do his
best, and may the blessings of God
rest upon you and your efforts and
make you true disciples of and fellow
workers with God

WIDENING THE TRACKS.
Work Will Be Done Saturday and
Night and Sunday,

The Delaware and Hudson gravity
tracks between Carbondale and Homes
dale are to be widened during Satur-
day night and Sunday, when all traf-
fic Will be suspended. This informa-
ton was received in this city yester-
day.
IL Is stated that q large quantity of
rails, timbers and other necessary ma
terial is being distributed along the
track, but that the widening will be
deferred one week If the weather is
not favorable.
The announcement of the proposed
operations was not unexpected. When
the planes at either end of the line
were abandoned on the first of the
month, it, was intended to make the
change at an early day. Company
officials knew they would be unable to
handle heavy traffic on the heavy
grades with light engines. This was
proved recently when at Honesdale an
engine could not pull up the first steep
grade two cars containing fifty per-
sons. The train had to be run in two
sections.
Gently: In making arrangements for
the transportation of Company L,
Eleventh regiment, from Honesdale to
Scranton next Monday when the regi-
ment goes to Harrisburg, Delaware
and Hudson officials said that the train
would have to be run in two sections.
Rather than run any risk Of not having
the company reach here according to
orders, it was arranged to have the
company make the trip in a special
| Erie and Wyoming Valley train.

No trouble is more common or more

People having it think their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medi-
cines. The real seat of the mischief
is lost sight of. The stomach is the
organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often. do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach,
nor perhaps any of the usual symp-
toms of stomach weakness. Nervous
dyspepsia shows itself not in the stom-
ach so much as in nearly every organ.
In some cases the heart palpitates
and is irregular; in others the kidneys
are affected; in others the bowels are
constipated, with headaches; still 9TH
