"My little girls head and face were
almost covered with boils, and she also
had sore eyelids. We gave her Hoods
sarsaparilla persistently and soon no.
ticed improvement.
AFTER she had taken three bottles
she was perfectly well, and her face was
entirely free from any marks or scars.
She is now in the best health. Hoods
Sarsaparilla will do all claimed for IT,"

There were sore places on his limbs and
body as large as a mans hand, and
sometimes when he took OF his stock
ings they would stick to his skin where
the blood had run down his legs.
I'VE gave him many different medi-
cines but did not find a cure, until some
one recommended Hoods Sarsaparilla.
livery soon we saw it was taking effect
and we kept on until he heo taken three
bottles, when he was cured. He is now
strong and hearty, and has had no touch
OF scrofula since being cured by Hoods
Sarsaparllla." w. II. GARNERw. Earl, Pa.

The Iron Market.

The iron market is still a waiting
one, but conditions seem rather better.
Undoubtedly buyers of pig iron and
steel billets will do their best to secure
concessions, and will meet with some
success. On the other hand the time
is growing short for those whose con-
tracts run only over the first half OF
the year. and they are many in num-
ber. The waiting time must end Soon
ard the result will probably he a COM
promise.
In finished material there is nothing
new, except that the demand for stlrc-
tu3al steel continues good. The bar
milis are full of trouble, and these in
the combination are trying very hard

Local Mining Notes.

The carpenters are rushing work on
he new Delaware and Hudson break
,r. Nearly all the frame work has been
erected and large force of men pre-
pairing lumber to close it in. 1t is hard
70 say yet when 1t will be ready for
operation.
Again there are rumors that the COM
pany will build another breaker in the
lower end of the town but Just when
nobody seems to know. II is argued
that the breaker now being built will
not be able TO consume the coal from
the vein recently discovered and the
coal from the "Klondike" mine besides.
One thing seems TO be certain and that
is that the company viii not build an
other breaker until the one now being
built Is i'm operation
The company has a number of borers
at work in the "Klondike" mine. The
results of their work have not been
announced.
The Mount Jessup Coal company
also has men boring near the Waddel
mine. 1t is generally believed that
there Is a vein of good coal there. This

Warm weather during the week kill
ed any interest that the retail trade
might have in anthracite. The use of
gas and oil stoves for domestic pur-
poses is becoming more and more gen.
cral every summer 1t would arouse
the surprise of some men in the coal
trade if they knew the proportion Of
such stoves used during summer in
rural districts.
Wholesale trade shows a slight i'm
provement in Chicago territory, but
the volume of business is very small.
Business at the head of the lakes is
light also. Shipments from Buffalo are
not heavy, the present condition of the
lake freight market favoring lower
rates later on. At eastern points there
is very little doing. Some coal is going
inland to points reached by the canals,
some is going to points beyond Cape
Cod.
The companies are holding down out
put, but stocks are increasing. There
is no more disposition to make conces-
sions than for several months, and
prices are pretty we'll maintained. The
steam sizes feel the restrictions on
output, and continue hard to get. Con-
sumers at western points complain thai
they can't get pea; considering the de-
mands of Eastern consumers for this
size they are not likely to be Statistic /
for some months.

FINE OLD CHURCH.

The church Is a very old building,
and is built OF volcanic rocks. 1t has a
foundation strong enough to stand
many centuries, and ne doubt 1t will.
1t is finished Off on the inside with
mahogany, and is one of the finest
churches on this island. Services are
held every Sunday, and as n general
rule once or twice during the week.
The boys are wishing for this insur-
rection to come to q close, so that they
will be able to go home again, as they
are getting tired of this charity war, as
1t is termed here. l will, for myself,
be glad to get back to Scranton again,
as l have seen all OF this country care
to see as a soldier
I do not know how long we will be
here yet. but l suppose 1t will be for
some time yet.
Funerals are very numerous here,
and If the priest had to say mass for
all of them he would be kept busy
nearly all of the time. The hombries
carry the corpse to the church and set
it down in front OF the door-some-
times there are four Of them at once
when the priest says prayers, and they
carry them away again.

Big Shops at Dubois.

Officials of the Buffalo, Rochester
and Pittsburg railroad have decided
upon Du Bois for the location of the
immense new locomotive shops of the
road, thus settling the question, which
has been hanging fire since the first Of
the year.
The plans for the new works call for
an expenditure of $500.000 and the
building, together with necessary SD
ings, will cover 20 acres. About 1000
men will be employed, many at skilled
labor.
Dubois was made the headquarters
of the middle division of the road last
week. The large shops of the company
at Rochester, n. Y, are to be aban-
doned.

THE COST OF THE SHOW.
Interesting Figures by One of the
Famous American Showmen.

Famous American Showmen.
The "reminiscences of the late w. c.
Coup, manager OF the Barnum show.
are continued in the Saturday Evening
Post. The following is an extract:
"One of the largest shows ever Or
ganized in this country, and which was
reputed to be worth more than half a
million dollars, was inventoried on the
death of one of the proprietors, with
a view to selling the estate Of the de-
ceased, and, to the great surprise of
the executors, was found to reach in
value only about $500 900.
Twenty years ago a show with a
daily expenditure Of $3.50 was thought
extravagant, while fifty years ago a
circus whose receipts averaged, sixty
dollars day was considered to be
doing a good business. Today there
La one show the expenses OF which are
undoubtedly more than $500 a day,
although it Is surprising what Won
derful displays are made fby others
at a cost Of less than 1000 the day.
The cost Of cages varies. The orna-
mental cars used for advance adver-
tising are comfortably, and even elabo-
rately, fitted, and are provided with a
pdSlt Juliet OlhCl NOiHIh-
fences. They cost anywhere from
$4,000 to $1,000. The fiat and stock
cars used by circuses cost from $500
to $500 each; passenger coaches from
81, 500 upward.
Some circus proprietors also have
| their own private car, fitted with ev-
cry imaginable convenience and luxury,
and such car costs high in the
| thousands. The expense of the ward
robe depends, OF course, on the amount
used, and its quality. and whether the
| costumes are intended for a spectacu-
lar show or for an ordinary circus. The
wardrobe and papiermache charlots
used in the production of our Con-
| gress OF Nations cost Mr.. Barnum and
myself more than $4,000
I'VE paid $4,000 for our first hippo
drome tent alone, and this did not in
clude dressing room tents, horse tents
and camp tents. Afterward, however,
we had a larger one made for very
much less money. The small circuses
that hover around Chicago and the
larger cities of the West in summer
usually use a tent about eight-feet
across, with two thirtyfoot middle
pieces. This, equipped with poles,
seats and lights. costs about $780,"

This and That.

Raymond Dupuy, late superintendent
of the Morris and Essex division, has
been elected general manager of the
st. Joseph and Grand Island railroad.
The old Black Diamond breaker Of
the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal
company at the east end of Wilkes
Barre was destroyed by fire Saturday
morning. 1t was built forty years ago
and has not been used for ten years.
Beginning on June !, the Central
Railroad of New Jersey will become
the lessee of the Lehigh Coal and Navi-
cation company's mines, and they will
be operated by and in conjunction with
the Lehigh and Wilkes Barre Coal
company.
Conductors and brakemen on the
Western New York and Pennsylvania
have received orders that they will not
be permitted to wear tan shoes or red
neckties while on duty. These articles
of apparel are regarded as unbecom-
ing to railroad men by the officials of
the road, who have accordingly put
them under the ban.

Engine Badly Damaged.

one of the new freight engines re-
Gently secured by the Lackawanna was
badly damaged on Saturday by being
run off the track in the round house.
The locomotive was precipitated into
the turn table pit, and it was necessary
to use jacks to place it back on the
track again.
one of the workmen went into the
cab and gave the signal for the turn.
The engine was moved slowly toward
the turn-table, but the table was not
turned fast enough and the monster
locomotive went down with a crash.
over half of the engine ran out straight
into the open space before it was over
balanced.

THEY ARE VERY sANGUINE.
Supporters Of Railway Ordinance
Believe 1t Will Pass.

The supporters Of the ordinance
granting a franchise TO the Connell
Park and Speedway Street Railway
company are now very sanguine re-
gardng its final passage in select
council. 1t is known that certain mem
bers were ready TO vigorously oppose
its passage on second reading on
Thursday night, but did not do so for
various reasons, The strong stand
taken by organized labor in favor Of
the passage of the measure also has a
great effect
Should the ordinance pass next
Thursday night and be signed by the
mayor soon afterwards, 1t is believed
that work on the road can be COM
menced by June IS. The uncertainty
regarding its passage, Of course, pre-
vents the company signing any con-
tracts; in fact all such matters are held
in abeyance for the present.
