The Young Women's Christian assoc
citation Is having a season of much
enthusiasm. Miss Wilson. Of Chicago,
one of the three national secretaries,
Is in the city. and by her charming
personality and devoted purpose in
life Is attracting universal interest.
While Miss Wilson is a pioneer In
Young Women's Christian association

MEASURES THAT WILL DIE
Number of Ordinances and Resolu-
tions Failed to Get Out
Of Committee.

The number Of ordinances and reso-
lutions which will die with the present
councils on Monday morning next at
10 o'clock, by reason of not having
been acted upon, is not as large as last
year, nor are the measures of very
great Importance.
The largest number were pending in
the select council, the common council
disposing of nearly every measure con-
Sidcred by 1t.
In the license committee box of Sc
lect council there still rcposes the or
dinanco introduced by Mr.. OBoylc.
providing for tax of two, three and
four per cent on the gross receipts Of
the Scranton hallway company.
The police committee never reported
on the ordinance introduced by P L.
McCann, making it II misdemeanor Ior
cabmen to ercroach upon the plaza in
front of the Lackawanna station. and
providing penalty for the offensc.
The park committee held up IA number
of measures. including the ordinance
introduced by Mr.. Chittenden, appro-
priating all moneys received at Nay
Aug park for park purposes. The pro-
posal of the Elmhurst Boulevard COM
Nay Aug park. including it's bridge, for
the sum of sl7,5O0, to adjust the diff
Guilty occasioned ny the presence of
toll-gate in the park. was never acted
upon by the committee.
The pavcments committee did not
act upon the resolution exonerating the
Alcatraz Paving company from the
penalty which it incurred by failure
to LOT tI
pavement in contract time. ID. W.
Naughan'S scheme, providing for the
examination of all motormen and con-
ductors on street railway lines, never
got even a minutes consideration from
the railways committee.
The streets and bridges committee
choked off a number of measures, in
cludng ordinances providing for flag
stone sidewalks on ColfaX and Wheeler
avenue and on Washington avenue, be-
tween New York and Larch streets.
The following ordinances We're on
either first, second or third reading in
select council on Thursday night. when
adjournment was made until Monday
morning: Awarding a franchise to the
Central Rapid Transit company; pro-
vidng for two electric lights in the
'tNpilh W NdIu' IioN NlulllS IOI inc tOlltC-
tion Of a license tax; providing for
fiagstone sidewalks on certain streets
in the Sixth and Eighteenth wards;
increasing the city's indebtedness in
the sum Of 100000, to pay off outstand-
ing judgments and other adjudicated
claims.
The following ordinances die because
Of the failure of common council to
act upon them: Providing for two
electric lights in the Fourth ward; pro-
viding for tlagstone sidewalks on Pitts
ton and Dickson avenue; providing for
sewer on Dickson avenue, between
Glen and Marion streets; providing for
four lights in the Fifth ward and two
lights in the Third ward; providing
for the repaving of Lackawanna ave-
nue., between Washington and Jeffer-
son avenues; providing for five police
districts and creating five police mag
istrates.

LIVELY TINE IN VIEW.
Democrats and Republicans of Com
mon Council Will Organize Sep
arately 1t Is Understood.

1t can be definitely stated that the
additional Republican common council
men elected at the February election,
and who tried to take their seats on
March 90 will make no demand to be
seated when councils reorganize next
Monday morning. They will simply
take their seats without asking, and
will refuse to give them up.
There will be only ten old councilmen
left in the council, as the odd wards
chose representatives at the last elec-
tion. 1t is contcnded that even if the
new members did ask to be seated,
these ten members. who do not con-
stitute majority, could not refuse to
seat them.
The nineteen Republican Councilmen
will caucus tonight and will choose
candidates FOR chairman and clerk. II.
;. Alworth, OF the Second ward, will
probably be chosen for chairman, but
it is impossible to gather just who is
mentioned for clerk. If 1t is found im-
possible to secure unanimous vote for
Mr.. Alworth, Mr. Keller will be the
choice of the caucus. He has refused
to be a candidate except the members
fail to agree upon someone else.
The Republicans. with candidate
selected and agreed upon, will proceed
to organize on Monday morning. If the
Democrats want to Join in this organ
ization they will, of course, be per-
mittcd to do So. The Democratic lead
ers are in a quandary. Two plans are
being considered by them.
One is the election of 4 chairman and
Il clerk by the twelve Democrats who
would be entitled to seats. in case it
was decided that the additional Coun-
cilmen were not entitled to theirs.
Another is the organization by the
nineteen Democrats, admitting the
seven Democratic additional council
men. The former plan is the one which
will probably be followed, as the latter
would involve the admission that the
additional councilmen had a right to
their seats
At any rate. there promises to be an
exceedingly lively time next Monday
morning, and if two separate organ
izations are perfected some beautiful
complications can be looked for.

FOR THE GRIP.
You Have Heard of Many Remedies.
Did You Ever Try This Onep

Everybody you meet on the streets
nowadays either has just had the grip,
Is coming down with II or has a sure
cure for IL.
The disease has been a puzzle to
physicians ever since its appearance
several years ago and Il Is as much
of puzzle today as it was then. 1t
exhibits such variety of symptoms In
different individuals and leaves such
disastrous results after apparent re-
covery that as yet its prevention and
cure has bafiled medical science.
However, there is no doubt but that
the grip is catarrhal in character and
the leading symptom In nearly every
case Is increased secretion in the head
ana throat; in fact, the first indications
of la grippe are those of a cold In the
head which extends to the throat and
lungs.
DIR. johnson Ames advises as the
safest course to pursue on the first APP
pearance of grip symptoms to keep to
the house for a day or two and take
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets every hour
the first day and every two hours the
following day and states that this will
break up the trouble before 1t becomes
deap-seated.
These catarrh tablets are antiseptic
and harmless and prevent fever and
the further development of grip germs.
of pneumonia.
Dr.. Gerald Simpson says: IL have
found Stuarts Catarrh Tablets pleas
ant and thoroughly reliable remedy for
the grip, especially with elderly people,
with whom this prevailing disease is
always dangerous" The tablets can
BE- found at any drug store and If used
freely during the first few days of tho
attack will break it up.
La grippe is a catarrhal affection, the
germs are in the air and no one is
proof against it. but the timely use OF
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets will prevent
any serious results.
