NOV ',as Lawyer Keeps the Jals- e1ou
. e.. Sleeping.
There is said to be d lawyer in Phil
adelphia who possesses a trick OF the
voice to which a certain measure OF his
success in United States Supreme court
practice ia due. The trick consists In
waking a judge Whether 1t is COM
non practice for the high dignitaries
II the federal supreme bench to in.
dulge in nap in the course OF a Iona
and tedious argument, such happen
lnEs are not unknown. and 1t is we'll
for an able logician Of the bar to be
prepared tor It. The trick Of waking q
sleepy Judge would seem to be sons
thing In the nature Of slamning law
book under his nose or connecting his
personality with the current OF an
electric battery. But the trick is ex-
planned as purely a matter Of sound
involved in the sklllful control Of the
voice. It 10 said that barrister prac-
ticed In the art and rhetoric OF address,
ing the bench can gather all the waves
Of sound from his throat into focus
and deposit it In the orilce OF the
Judges ear With the general effect Of
bomb. Tho tick. however 1t Is ac-
c,mplished, is said to have been worked
repeatedly with success on the late
Judge McKennan, whose habit Of going
70 sleep on the bench Was once mo-
torious subject Of comment In the liti-
cation over the Berliner telephone pat
snts. This queer trick OF the voice.

Accurate OeIay,

Many stories are told of the lack of
punctuality upon railroads in the
southern states. 1t is said that when
New England man found his train,
advertised to leave at II o'clock,
starting at exactly that hour, he com.
plimented the conductor.
''Just on time, see," he said, gent.
ally. "All this talk I've heard of the
lateness Of your trains is without
foundation, I've no doubt
The conductor smiled at him
gently.
"This train. sir" said he, without
a trace Of embarrassment, lis not to-
days eleven o'clock train, sir. It is
yesterdays eleven o'clock. To-day's
will probably not get here from way
down until tomorrow, sir"

Vegetation on Rome's Monuments.

The monuments of Rome are now
under observation, not only by foreign
ers, but by the Italian government. 1t
has been discovered that parasitic
plants grow at the top of most of the
Roman monuments. At the top of the
white marble column in the center of
the Piazza di Santa Maria Maggiore
there was till few days ago thirty
ing plant of wild fig tree. 1t was
beginning to eat away one OF the top
most ornaments Of the column. But
it has now been removed. Twelve
figs were found on the plant. The
monument is now under repair The
affair has caused quite a little fiutter
and the Piazza has been crowded with
people to watch the uprooting process.
This column is the only one left of
Constantine's first church in Rome.

SAYS MRS. HAMMER
 WAS MURDERED
SUCH IS THE OPINION OF CORD NER PARIS, AFTER A CAREFUL INVESTIGATION INTO HER PE- cULIAR DEATH.

Miss Ann Hammer was murdered, Is the opinion Coroner Paris expressed after an exhaustive examination of witnesses and close and careful inquiry into the smysterious manner in which the young sswoman met death on South Twentieth street last Sunday night.
 No arrests have been made in connee- stion with the affair. and probably. none will be. but from the evidence he has secured the coroner has no doubt but that the woman was murdered.
 Miss Hammer was found in an uncon- ; scious condition last Sunday night al the foot of stairway at 1Osls South Twentieth street, and shortly after wards she died. Uponi examination a wound was found on her head, and hel skull was crushed as if struck by 8 heavy Instrument The first theories ad. vanced were that she had either fallen down the stairs or had fallen from a window, but 1t was afterwards stated that she was returning from the home of her sister. few doors distant, with some silverware. When found Miss Hammer held the silverware in her arms, and the theory is that she was murdered for the silver. 4L

Neglected Colds In Children Off, ten Bring Disastrous Results.

Group, capillary bronchitis, and articu- childhood. These all alike result from catching cold.
 One child catches cold and seares its mother into mysteries by having croup in the dead of night.
 Another child catches cold, develops a stubborn cough that will not yield to or dinary remedies. The parents are filled with forbodings. Still another child catches cold and de- velops that most fatal malady of child hood capillary bronchitis. The doctor is called, pronounces the case pneumonia, and if. the child is lucky enough to live 1t has developed weak lungs from which 1t may never recover. lss
 And yet another child catches cold and articular rheumatism is the result. Ankles knees wrists and elbows become suddenly swollen and painful. A long disastrous illness follows. The child may live and become -convalescent a misera- ble invalid of valvular disease of the heart. All these mishaps are the direct result of neglected cold. Peruna is the safeguard of the family. If a child catches cold Peruna should be used i'm mediately.
 A few doses of Peruna and a child s cold Is gone. The apprehensions of the parents flee away. The household Is free from fear once more.
 Peruna should be kept in the house all the time. Peruna should be kept in every house where there are children Don't wait until the child is sick, then send to the drugstore. Have it on hand. Accept no substitute

YOUNG MEMS CLUB
 MEETS TOMORROW
NOT ORGANIZED TO PROMOTE ANY MAN OR ANY PARTY-lT WILL BE AN INDEPENDENT BODY.

The Young Mems Social and Political club will meet tomorrow night in the re- ception hall on the third floor of the city hall building to perfect permanent or gauization and to elect the permanent officers. The hall committee has made arrangements for everything and there will be seats enough for all who care to attend.
 It is believed there will be 200 or more young men at the meeting and that all will be willing to take an active part in the organization and future work of the society. On all sides the matter has been spoken of enthusiastically by the young men, and many have signifed their in- tention of joining and taking an active Iart.
 There seems to be an idea current that the club IS organized to back certain men or certain party in the municipal fight I This idea is entirely different from that of the promoters of the organization. whose sole purpose is to make better citi- zens of the young men of the city and to aid as far as possible in correcting some of the evils in the citys politics as they see them.

Macveaoh i'm Washinoton.

Washington, December 6.-Wayne Me Veagh arrived here tonight from New York He said that he would continue his efforts to bring about complete un- derstanding between the operators and the miners. At no time, he said had an effort been made to settle the dispute outside of the commission. What he had been and is now striving for, he de- clared, was that an agreement between the operators and miners would be in- corporated in the decision of the com mission, which would be incorporated in the decision of the commission, which would therefore be binding upon all par. ties to the controversy. MT. Macy eagh said he would not return to Scranton un- less the interests of the company repre- sented by him demanded his further ! nresenee
