BY an almost unanimous vote Of
councils, In joint convention last night,
City Engineer Joseph p. Phillips was
reelected for another term of three
years.
Patrick Blewitt. ex-mine inspector.
and former city engineer was nom-
mated against him, but the vote would
indicate that he had not made a very
vigorous. or, at all events, not very
effective canvass. Mr. Phillips re-
ceived thirty-seven to Mr.. Blewitts
three. The vote in each council was
as follows:
SELECT COUNCIL.
For Phillps-Messrs Ross. Finn, Costello,
Thomas. Williams, James, Melvin, Chittenden,
Wagner, Schneider, Shea, Lidstone. Mccain, Oil
yer. Schroeder, Clemens, Vaughan, Coyne-ls
For Blewitt--Messrs, Roche o'Boyle-2.
COMMON COUNCIL.
For Phillips-Messrs. Reese, Grier, Grifiths
Godshall Capin, Zizleman, Tewkesbury. Nageli
Phillips, Calvin, Harvey, wenzel, Watkins, Cole.
man, Keller, T. +. Morris, Smith, Cusick Nor
ton--1o
For Bewtt-Mr Ruane--1.
The two absent members were Select
Councilman John j. McAndrew, of the
Twenty-first ward and Common Coun-
Gilman Morris V. Morris, of the Second
ward. The latter is on the jury in the
Luddon murder trial and while the
balloting was going on, was locked up
in a jury room in the court house.
Mr.. Phillips had been promised his
vote, and when he learned of his hav-
ing been drawn on the jury went to
the court house with Attorneys 0Brien
& Kelly to see if there wasn't some
way of securing his release long enough
to allow him to cast his ballot. When
the LAWYERS saw that the jurors were
sworn singly as they were accepted,
and further that a full jury would be
chosen before adjournment, they re-
gretfully informed their client that IL
Mr.. Morris vote was needed to elect
him, he was as good as defeated. Mr..
Phillips was disappointed, but as told
above, he managed to pull through
nicely without the vote, of which the
cause of the commonwealth deprived
! him.
The joint convention was presided
over by President Griffiths, of common
council, his nomination by Selectman
| Oliver being unanimously approved.
| Mr.. Phillips was placed in nomina-
ton by Mr.. oliver, with Mr.. Keller as
seconder Mr.. Roche. with Mr.. Ruane
as his second. nominated his neighbor
Mr.. Blewitt.
At the end of the meeting, Mr.. Phil.
lips entertained at the st. Charles In
honor of his election.
This will be Mr.. Phillips third term
and it is safe to say if councils con.
tinue as appreciative as they have beer
for the past six years, he will have as
many more terms as he wants. City
Engineer Phillips is generally admitted
to be one of the most competent city
officials Scranton has ever had. and nc
department of the city government Is
freer from cause for criticism than his
has been.

"HEARTs ARE TRUMPs
Are Still Drawing Large Audiences at
McV1ckers Tneater, Chicago.

Hearts Are Trumps', the tremend-
Gus me1odrama which has been attract
ing thousands of people to McVicker's
theatre, Chicago, has proved the crown
ing sensation of long season of sue
cesses at this popular play house. Mr..
Lifts arrangement with Charles Froh-
mans company allows the play to re-
main at McVicker's as long as the
public want to see the piece and from
indications this will be until the open
ing of the next season. The pEoduc-
ton, which cost Mr.. Frohman 1000,
is certainly the handsomest and most
massive that has yet been seen in Chi
cago and the play is interpreted by a
company which for excellence has not
been equa11ed in several years.
The play itself abounds in sensa-
tional scenes and amusing episodes.
One of these occurs when Maude St.
Trevor, music hall singer, gets the
earl of Burford to dance wild can-can
in the studio of Basil Gillespie. I'm
known to Burford Maude has a bic
graph machine in the room and the
dance is photographed in all its details.
Afterwards the scene is reproduced by
the biograph machine in the music
hall scene and the audience has the
pleasure of seeing the. pictures of the
dance move rapidly across the canvas.
The effect of this exposure is to dis
grace Burford, who is cad and cow
ard. The reproduction of the dance
creates no end of surprise and delight
on the part of the audience that have
filled McVicker's every night. The
scene is sp1endid1y played by Miss
Jessie Busley, who has made the hit of
her career as Maude.
Just before ths scene on the stage of
the Frivo1ity Music hall, where the
biograph gets in its deadly work, the
people are given an opportunity to
peep into the dressing room of popu-
lar favorite. Maude and two or three
other girls are preparing for their
appearance on the stage, and the sight
of their makeup boxes and the other
parapharna1ia of the theatre is one
full of interest for persons who have
never been behind the scenes.
Hearts are Trumps" has more in
cidents and situations of intense inter
est than any play seen in Chicago this
season.

Kenosha People Appreciate Good Thing

Kenosna People Appreciate Good Thing.
Everybody has their hour of trouble
But people having any itchiness of
the skin
Have many hours of trouble.
Nothing SO annoying. Nothing 50

Scratch it, it becomes worse.
Leave it alone and you can hardly
stand the misery.
Itchiness comes in many forms.
Eczema and horrid itching piles.
Relief and curesare, here at last.
Kenosha has put it to the test.
Doan's Ointment cures every form of
itchiness of the skin.
People at home are learning that
this is so.
Here is convincing proof,
Mr.. Feeney, of 207 Baker street, Ra-
cine, says. 81 can recommend Doan S
Ointment as d most relia BILE remedy.
After applying it one or two nights it
drove away the itching hemorrhoids
which had bothered ME for a long
time. l used other preparations before
for this trouble, but I never found
anything to equal Doan's Ointment.
It is soothing and remarkably quick in
its action, and to a11-who may be af-
t1icted as 1 was recommend it highly"
Just such emphatic endorsement can
be had right here in Kenosha. Drop
