Dreadful INSOMNIA.
A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT,
BUT 1T CAN BE CURED.
Mrs. Carter A. Roberts, Of Augusta,
Me-, Tells Of Her Experience
and How She Found Per-
manent Relief.

Sleeplessness has always something
| Of disease or undue excitement in II.
The excessive Use Of tea, coffee, tobac-
co, or any narcotic. may bring 1t on.
In such cases, IL the patient stop the
use Of or use more moderately, those
stimulants, he can overcome the
trouble. 1t may come, too, from dys-
pepsia, a general run down condition
of the system, from disease or insuffic-
lent nutrition, feverish excitement, too
much blood in the head, etc. In these
latter cases a medicine that will feed
the nerves and build up and purify the
blood, like DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, Is recommended. That
this medicine will accomplish a cure in
such cases has been proven in thous-
ands of instances. One of them Is that
Of Mrs. Carrie A. Roberts OF No. 6
Melville street, Augusta, Me-, who was
at one time sufferer from insomnia
and nervousness but was permanently
cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. She says:
II was very nervous and could not
sleep. / had headache great deal and
my health was run down in general.
For three months was not able to do
any work.
II tried other remedies but they gave
me no benefit. But one day one of my
neighbors recommended me to try DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and I began using them. I took part
of box and saw I was receiving bene-
fit and, after taking four boxes. en-
joyed better health than I had for Il
long time. I found the pills We're all
that they were recommended to be and
now I am sleeping we'll and feeling
well.''
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are sold only in boxes at fifty
cents box or six boxes for two dollars

Yesterdays Marriage Licenses,
DETECTIVES AT WAR.
Arrests and Counter-Arrests b.
Chiefs and Employees.

The Scranton Detective agency, Jo-
seph Greenberger, Morris Fagenbaum,
Barney Cobb, Frank Cobb. ct AL, have
a peck of trouble on their hands, which
will be aired in court during the next
session.
1t seems that Fagenbaum obtained
a detectives license from court, and
entered into partnership with Green
berger, who is a deputy constable in
the Eighth ward, and they created
what was known as the Scranton De-
tective agency.
Barney and Frank Cobb, of 410 Crist
court, We're commissioned as detec-
tives by Fagenbaum and Greenburger,
and they proceeded to round up saloon
keepers. keepers of disorderly houses
and the like, for alleged violations of
the law.
The scheme was working prosperous
ly for all concerned, until the "chief"
of the agency, who was Fagenbaum,
and the others became involved over
the distribution of the spoils, Then
Fagenbaum and Greenberger had the
Cobbs arrested for impersonating off,
GERS and eNtortion. After hearing
before Alderman Ruddy the defendants
were committed to Jail in default of
bail.
When they obtained their release on
bail, the Cobbs went before Alderman.
Kellow and had warrants issued for
Fagenbaum and Greenberger, charging
them with conspiracy and perjury. The
hearing was set for last evening. but
the agency promoters waived a hear
ing and entered bail yesterday after
noon.

may receive relatives and friends.
The kitchen and dining room form
wing In the center Of the set Of build
ings, and extending to the rear of the
men and women's buildings. This Is to
be one story in height, and $50 feet long
by 40 wide. A long court leads up to
It, and In this the inmates will he al
lowed to walk, when the weather per-
mits, a high iron fence separating the
men and women.
The kitchen proper will be 30 feet by
40, and in addition the structure will
include two sculleries, two storerooms,
and two dining rooms for the men and
women. Each of these will be 30 feet
wide by go long. They will be built at
opposite ends OF the building. Most of
the cooking will be done by steam.
Covered passageways from the male
and female buildings lead to this room,
and will be the route pursued by the
inmates when the dinner bell sounds.
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.
The administration building, located
in front of the others, Will be two
stories in height and contain living
rooms for the superintendent, a suite
or reception rooms ana business
office. 1t Is intended to leave the con-
structon of this for the future. and to
merely work on the other three build
ings now.
The entire length of the buildings is
456 feet, and the administration build
ing and kitchen furnish q depth Of 258
feet. The building for women will not
be quite as large as the section used by
the male paupers. It's structure other
wise will be very similar. 1t will con-
tain a large day room, like that pro-
vided for the men, a sick ward and
four dormitories. Arrangements will
be made for a small number of chill
dren, and a nursery supplied for the
little ones.
The present almshouses will be added
to the insane asylum departments and

At the next meeting Of the poor
board, the secretary will be instructed
to advertise for bids for the construc-
tion OF the new almshouses at the Hill
side farm, provided for in Architect T..
II. Davis plans, which were recently
submitted to and approved by the
board. Provision is made for four brick
buildings, connected by covered pass
ageways.
The plans provide for cross-like
construction, as two Of the buildings
are situated between the two main
structures. extending considerable
distance in front and back of them.
The buildings are to be used solely for
the housing and accommodation Of the
pauper inmates OF the home.
1t is desired to separate them from
the insane inmates. and this idea was
heartily approved by the State Board
OF Charities, when the matter was
brought to it's notice some months ago,
and the preliminary plans submitted.
The set of buildings to be erected will
consist of a two-story structure, with
accommodations for 225 men, a similar
building capable Of housing $50 women
and about fifteen children. a large
Kitchen and dining room, and an adj
ministration building.
Brick will he used in this structure,
and what little ornamental work will
adorn the outside of the buildings will
be also done in this material. The "hot
blast system will be employed in heat
ing and ventllationD and electricity will
be used in illuminating the buildings.
Everything will be arranged with a
view to the safety and health of the
inmates. The buildings will be guar
anteed fireproof from top to bottom,
and great care will be taken in finish
Ing the interior to round off all corners
and do away with every sharp edge by
means Of which the infirm and aged
patients might possibly injure them
selves.
SEPARATE BUILDINGS.
The buildings for male and females
will be at the opposite ends of the
suite of structures, 112 feet being be-
tween them. The home will he two
stories high. with q basement, and 40
feet in length and 1872 feet wide. On
the ground floor will be a large, light
and airy room, In which the inmates
can spend their time amusing them
selves during the day. Six dormitories
will be. found on the first and second
floors, and large sick ward is also
called for by Architect Davis plans.
Various smaller rooms are provided for
noisy or disagreeable boarders at the
farm, whose actions necessitate their
removal from the main throng.
The sick ward will have nurses
rooms adjoining: also linen rooms, TOLL
cts and baths. On each floor there will
be additional ample bathing accommo-
dations, lavatories, storerooms, and a
steam drying room. A reception room

BAD EFFECTS OF STOHM.
City Sewer Basins Choked to Over
flowing Yesterday,

Director of Public Works John T..
Roche had an unusually large number
of men on the streets yesterday, work.
ing at cleaning city sewer basins, as a
result of Thursdays severe rain storm.
The heavy rain had particularly dis
astrous results on streets which have
been only recently repaired as paved,
and on which, the paving material has
not had time to take sufficiently firm
hold.
Sewers throughout the city were
stuffed with debris, many complaints
being received in particular regarding
the condition of the basins at Prescott
avenue and Mulberry street, on Cedar
and Pittston avenues, and in North
Scranton.
AS result there were twenty-one
men doing the work yesterday, which
on an ordinary day Is taken care OF
by six. Director Roche says that there
has been an unusually large amount
of trouble of this nature recently, and
numerous damage claims against the
city have resulted.

property and occupations took four
months. The. entire board has to be
present at the viewing and assessing
