IS SEVENTEEN
YEARS OLD
ANNIVERSARY OF ST. JOHNS
SOCIETY OBSERVED.
An Elaborate Banquet Was Served
in st. Johns Hall on Capouse Ave-
nue, at Which Addresses Were
Made by Rev. P. j. McManus, Dio-
cesan President; Rev. j. j. Grif-
in and others--Growth Of the
Society Since 1SS5--Plans for AL
tering Building Prepared.

The seventeenth anniversary of the
organization of st. Johns Total Abstin-
ance society, one Of the largest and
most prosperous in the scranton dio-
cesan union, was celebrated last night
in st. Johns hall on Capouse avenue
with a dance and banquet.
The large hall on the ground floor
was beautifully decorated with vari-
colored bunting and potted palms and
dancing was here enjoyed by upwards
Of a hundred couples from $3.50 to 10
o'clock, at which later hour the BAN
quet was served in the prettily decor
ated meeting hall on the second floor.
An elaborate repast had been prepared
and at the conclusion of its discussion
a number OF informal toasts were re-
sponded to.
Timothy Burke acted as toastmaster
and the first speaker was Rev. p. j.
McManus. pastor of st. Paul's church.
Green Ridge, and president Of the Dio-
cesar union. Father McManus, who
was one of the temperance pioneers of
this diocese, spoke briefly on the neces-
sity of keeping closely united in the
fight against intemperance and was
cietys spiritual adviser. Among the
other speakers were: Dominick Demp-
sey, w. Fl. Lavelle, M. j. O'Toole. and
M. j. Rafferty,.
Mr.. Rafferty, is the present president
of the society and is about to leave the
city to take up his home in Pittston.
When he had concluded his address.
Toastmaster Burke sprang a surprise
on him by presenting him with a gold
fountain pen, the gift of his fellow
members of the society. Mr.. Rafferty,
responded briefly and expressed his
heartfelt thanks for the gift.
st. Johns society was organized in
1885, with a charter membership of
seventeen and it's growth has been so
steady and sure that it now has on its
membership rolls two hundred and
twenty names. The organization Is in
such healthy financial condition that
plans have been prepared for extensive
ly improving and remodelling the build
ing. A brick wall is to be built OH the
outside of the building and the interior
is to be considerably altered. Among
the improvements contemplated is a
gymnasium with baths attached. The
alterations will cost between $4,000 and
$4,000.
The present officers of the society are
as follows: President, NJ. J. Rafferty,;
vice-president, Timothy Burke; finan-
cial secretary, NJ. Ruddy; recording
secretary, John Damson; treasurer, M.
r. O'Malley.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE.
Symptoms of Very Common
Trouble.

| There Is no disease so common In
the United states as catarrh, because
~ appears In so many forms and at
tacks so many different organs.
1t Is a common mistake to suppose
that catarrh is confined to the nose
| and throat. Any inflammation of the
mucous membrane wherever located
| accompanied by abnormal secretions,
| Ia catarrh. Catarrh of stomach or
bladder, or intestines is nearly as COM
mon as nasal catarrh and much more
serious although it is true that stom-
ach catarrh and catarrh of other in
ternal organs is the result of neglected
| nasal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which so far as tested seems to be re-
markably effective in promptly curing
catarrh, wherever located. The pre-
paration Is sold by druggists generally
under name OF Stuarts Catarrh Tab
let's, and in addition to being very pal
atable and convenient, possesses extra
ordinary merit, in many cases giving
immediate relief from the coughing,
hawking and constant clearing of the
throat and head, those symptoms with
which everyone is familiar who has
ever suffered from colds in the head
and throat.
Catarrh is simply n continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble be-
comes chronic and grows gradually
worse from year to year.
Stuart:s Catarrh Tablets are COM
posed of Blood root. red gum and SINH
lar antiseptics and catarrh specifics,
from which it will be seen that no
secret is made of the ingredients and
also that no mineral poisons are used,
as is the case with many we'll known
catarrh medicines.
For catarrh of the nose, throat. bron-
chial tubes, for catarrh of stomach, in
testines or bladder no preparation is so
safe and gives such rapid and perma-
nent results as Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets.
All druggists sell them at soc. for
full sized package. You can use them
with assurance that you will not con-
tract the cocaine or morphine habit as
the results from this catarrh cure are
apparent from the first days use.

HUGHEY WAS HIT HARD.
By Some Hook or Crook, However
the Hit Was Not Effective.

If you have never been struck by a
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
express train as it goes down Pocono
mountain, you can not thoroughly ap-
preciate the experience of Thomas
Hughey, farmer, of Devils Hole, Para
disc Valley, Monroe county, Pennsyl-
vania. Admitting that those who read
this and who can thoroughly appre-
ciate it are few indeed, the story is
nevertheless told.
Mr.. Hughey is 81 years of age, to be-
gin with. 1t is necessary to say to
those who will learn Of his experience,
that, for his years. he is somewhat of
a hearty old chap.
Hughey was walking along the track
with a basket of eggs on his arm. He
stepped out Of the way of a coal train,
and directly in front OF the flyer

The Christmas turkey is a rara avis,
not only in this city, but throughout
| the country and those who may wish
to serve him for their holiday dinner
will have to pay a very high price for
him.
Turkeys were selling on the local
market yesterday for twenty-five cents
| a pound, and there is a likelihood that
they will go up to twenty-five cents
| today and tomorrow. The high price
| Is directly attributable to the scarcity
| of supply which is in turn attributabl
| to the cold, wet season, according to
poultry men. Young turkeys all over
| the country have died during the early
fall and conditions seem to be the same
| in the far west as in these parts. 1t is
estimated that only one-third Of the
| number of turkeys generally received
in this city at this season of the year
| have been received so far this year.
They generally bring from sixteen to
eighteen cents pound under normal
conditions.
Chickens are almost as scarce as tur-
keys and are selling at from sixteen to
nineteen cents q pound. They gener-
ally sell at from thirteen to sixteen
cents a pound at this season. Ducks
are so scarce that the price is already
up to twenty-five cents a pound. and
will probably go higher.
The only other adjunct of the Christ
mas dinner which is higher priced than
usual are oysters, which are rather
scarce and which are retailing ct from
ten to twenty-five cents a gallon higher
than the normal price.
There are many luxuries to be found
in the local markets for those who can
afford them. Among these may be
mentioned new Bermuda potatoes,
which can be had for fifteen cents a
quart or $3.50 q bushel. Choice hot
house lettuce can be had at from twelve
and a half to fifteen cents a head, and
there are fresh radishes also for sale.
For the first season in many years
there are no strawberries on the mar
ket. This fruit is bringing $3.50 per
box in New York city, and the quality
is not OF the best.
Oranges are on the market in ample
plentitude and are selling at from
twenty-five cents to fifty cents a. dozen.
These include both the California and
Florida varieties.
