Then a sore or ulcer appears on some
part of the body it may be small and
harmless looking at first, but as the can
cerous cells form and arc deposited by
the blood near the sore, it increases III
size and severity, with sharp shooting
pains. No matter how often the sore IS
removed by the surgeons knife or fest,
destroying plasters, another comes and IS
worse. The real disease is in the blood
and the treatment must begin there. The
poisoned blood must be invigorated and
purified, and when this is done cancerous
cells can no longer form and the sore will
heal naturally and permanently.

CHRISTMAS EXERCISES.
Children of Two Churches Made
Happy Last Night.

The Christmas festival of all the
Sunday schools of st. Luke's parish
was conducted last night in the church
and the parish house. under the direc-
tion of the rector, Rev. DR.. Rogers
Israel.
The church was thronged with chill
dren OF all ages when the exercises
were begun In the church at 7.3O
o'clock. There was beautiful pro-
cessional hymn, christians Awake!
Salute the Happy Man." and following
this came carol, "1n the Fields with
Their Flocks Abiding" in the rendition
of which the clear young voices of the
children were heard with splendid ef-
feet.
The rector then conducted respon-
sive scripture reading, followed by two
more carols, the recitation in chorus Of
the Apostles Greed and a recessional
hymn, Sing, Oh Sing, This Blessed
Morn" Those present then filed into
the parish house where the exercises
were continued in the auditorium.
After the singing of q Christmas
hymn by the infant department, in
charge of Miss Lillian Hall Morris.
number Of beautiful stereopticon views
illustrating various scenes in the life
of the Christ child were thrown upon a
screen and described by the rector.
When another carol, God Rest Ye,
Merry Gentlemen" had been sung, the
curtain in front of the stage was raised,
revealing a gorgeously decorated
Christmas tree of huge proportions.
Gifts from this were distributed
among the eager children, and after
the singing of another carol the festivi-
ties were brought to a close.
The Christmas exercises Of the Sun
day school of the Grace Reformed
Episcopal church were also conducted
last night before a very large throng
of the children and their friends. The
pulpit platform was trimmed to rep
resent a house with chimney, from
the top of which Santa Claus head
appeared from time to time during the
evening.
The superintendent, Charles F. Hess.
was in a charge and splendid musi-
cal programme. consisting principally
of Christmas carols, was given under
his direction. There was a dstribu-
tion at the close of the programme,
each and every person present receiv-
ing some remembrance of the Christ
mas season.

AGREEMENT IN
The VIADUCT CASE
It Will Have the Effect of Cutting
Short the Taking of Testimony
Which Promised to Be Long.

There was another hearing in the
viaduct equity case yesterday, atwhich
testimony of Assistant City Treasurer
p. J. Ruane was heard as to the con-
dition of the city's finances, and City
Engineer Joseph p. Phillips about the
amount that is owed on city sewers.
After this evidence was in, the at
torneys for the defense. by suggestion
of the court, submitted a proposition
to the attorneys for the plaintiff. with
the view of putting an end to what
promised to be an extremely long
winded case.
This proposition is that a definite
statement be agreed upon and that
this be argued upon this morning. At
torneys Streeter and Burns advised
their client, Luther Keller, to accept
this proposition, and it is probable that
he will.
The point which will probably be
argued this morning is that if the in
debtedness authorized by the vote of
the people is to be included, the city
has exceeded the two per cent. limit
but if it is not included, a margin Of
S100 600 remains before reaching this
limit.
If Judge Kelly decides finally that
the indebtedness authorized by the
people cannot be counted, the case will
bd settled in favor of the defense. II
he decides otherwise, the defense will
TIM argue that the damages to be paid
tn property owners cannot properly be
considered debt.
This agreement will do away with all
the discussion and counter discussion
about whether the bonds in the sink
ing fund can be considered as assets;
whether unpaid taxes can be consid-
cred in the same light, and the dozen
and more other points raised against
City Controller Howell's debt state
ment by the attorneys for the plain
tiff.

MORGAN SERIOUSLY CHARGED.
Mine Foreman Said to Have Accepted
Brides from Employees.

1t has been charged for some time
back that Foreman Thomas Morgan,
of Edwardsville, employed by the
Kingston Coal company, has been ac-
cepting bribes from the men employed
under him for the purpose of retaining
them in their positions.
The complaints became so numerous
that the company agreed to a PROPOSE
tion made by the United Mine Workers
to have the matter arbitrated by a
board OF arbitrators. The first hearing
was held Thursday night and numbe"
Of the employees of the company, even
including the breaker boys, testified
to having paid Morgan various sums
for his promise that they would not be
discharged.
A second hearing was held last nighr
when a number of other witnesses tes-
titled to the same facts. A few work.
men said that they had never paid
Morgan anything. The board of az
bitrators found him guilty as charged.
The understanding is that he will now

The small boy who sallies forth from
his happy home and spends several
nights out in the open air is a rather
common article but the young girl who
does this sort OF thing is a pretty rare
sort of species of the female sex.
Two of this species, living in West
Scranton. were captured yesterday
mornig near Archibald by Chief of Po-
lice McHale, of that borough. They
left home last Sunday and since that
time have been living tramplsh life
between this city and Archibald.
The girls. who gave their names as
Gwennie Williams and Lizzie Davis,
and who are aged 15 and IL years, left
their homes last Sunday afterno n to
attend Sunday school and never re-
turned. Their parents didn't seem to
be much alarmed for the police were
not notified and no effort was appar-
entity made to ascertain their where
abouts.
The first seen of them from the time
they left home as far as can be learned,
was on Wednesday night when Chief
McE1ale saw them standing on the plat
form of the Delaware and Hudson sta
tion between 10 and II o'clock. He
fancied that they We're waiting for q
train and did not interrogate them.
He passed the station a short time at
terward and found them gone
On Thursday night he heard that the
two girls had slept in freight car
over night and that they had been seen
about the borough that day begging.
He started search for them then but
didn't succeed in locating them until
yesterday morning at $50 o'clock when
he came across them sitting around a
fire in the woods about a quarter of
mile north of the railroad station.
They told him that they had built the
fire themselves and had passed the
night around it. They said that they
We're from Taylor. The chief took
them in custody and notified Mrs. Dug
gan, of the Associated Charities of this
city. The latter went up on an early
train and brought them to the city hall.
They told a number of conflicting
stories but she finally learned their
real names and that the ones given by
them at first We're fictitious, and re-
turned them to their homes.
She refused last night to give their
real names but admitted that they We're
from West Scranton. She said she re-
gretted having given the older girl up
so quickly as she had learned since
that her home surroundings We're not
what they should be.
The girls didn't appear to be much
the worse for their experience beyond
the fact that they were exceedingly
dirty. The older girl had a great va
riety of slang and swear words at her
disposal and semed to be delighted with
every opportunity given her to use
them.

What Mould You Give

its cure is not a question of what you
will give, but what will you take. If
you will take Hoods Sarsaparilla, the
