For Martyrs, Not Fools.

II st. Peter will hold all those to account who
implicate him in stories inferno will be full OF
story tellers. However, they're good stories as
u rule, and ought To be entitled to a respectful
hearing, halo or no halo. Thus, G, H. Belrislee
tells one on the aged saint in which St. Peter
Is made to respond to knock at the heavenly
gates-not aiar, as popular belief would have it,
St. Peter gIumbled bit. "And what do you
want2" "What do you supposef" said the call.
er. 81 want to get in, fcourse." "Are you a
married man~ ~ am that" was the reoly.
"Yery WELL" said the saint, "come in, poor
man. You have had your purgatory on earth
pass In" Immediately there was another
knock. "a want to come in, too" said voice.
"Are you a married mani" swell, rather"
quoth the petitioner 'Pve been married three
times" And the good old saint, wrath in his
eye, pointed a flaming finger downward: Get
outl This place Is for martyrs, not for foolsp

The Social Maids Buresquc company, which
has been hcraldeI as one of the best attractions
of the season, began three days engagement at
the Star theater yesterday afternoon and was
greeted by full house. The 'Soca Maids SER
tanly fulfilled the promises Of Manager Her
rington in the matter OF excellence and gave the
best entertainment seen at the Star since the
visit Of the famous "Transalantics. The chorus,
which is one OF the handsomest and best gowned
upon the road, is led by Josette Webb, the we'll
known soubrettc who spent last summer in
Scranton; Ollie Omega and Nellie Fenton, and
is up.to.date in every particular.
The olio is composed of novel acts by Eddie
Hayes and Mona Wynne; Mareena and Smith,
acrobats; Bryant and Brennan; Emerson and
Omega, and John A. West, the musical Brownie
The special acts are interspersed with beauti-
full and artistic living pictures that evoked hearty
applause The performance closes with some.
what risque travesty upon Mormonism which is
very funny and handsomely costumed. The so
cial Maids will be at the Star today and tomor-
row afternoon and evening.

VALUE OF TESTIMONY.
Greater Than Assertion.

There Is none of us so hardened but
that when we have been able to aid
our fellow creatures by conferring a
benefit or bringing little comfort into
their lives we like to have appreciation
shown. This generally affords more
pleasure than the performance of the
act itself and in this connection the
following letter from a Paris, Texas,
lady is of more than usual interest:
Dear Friends: / address you as such,
for you have been such to me. / suf-
fered for three years off and on with
piles. l was treated at the hospital,
and the new and elegant hospital, of
Memphis; they only gave me tempor-
ary relief. 1 came west, thinking the
change of air and water would benefit
me; five months ago the bleeding piles
came back on me, and bled so much
that l thought 1 would die. have
had four of the finest doctors i'm this
section of Texas; all they did was to
finally nearly let me go to my grave
all they wanted was a big sum of
money from me and to operate on me.
l said no. no surgeons knife would
enter me; If 1t was my time to die God
knew 1t. and when ] died I would die
all together. / began hearing about
your medicine. l had no faith in you,
but sent and got a box of your Pyra-
mid Pile Cure: in two days the blood
flow had slackened to one-half the
amount. and in one week l felt so
much better l walked four blocks and
did a little housework. l was not
bleeding then; in three weeks 1 was
well. God bless you for putting such
wonderful medicine within the reach
of suffering men and women. / shall
never cease to recommend your medi-
cine or be without it; also / used your
Pyramid Pills. Sallie A. Hearndon."
Testimony like this should be more
convincing than all claims and asser-
tions, and should leave no doubt in the
mind of the reader as to the merit of
the remedy. Pyramid Pile Cure is sold
by druggists for fifty cents a package,
or will be mailed by the makers to any
address upon receipt of price. Write
Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich,
for their book on cause and cure of
piles.

Returns of Constables.

In their reports to court yesterday
the constables of the county told of a
number of bridges and roads that are in
bad condition. In all but one case the
bad condition was due to the recent
rains and foods. The exception was a
road in the First ward of Dunnore,
reported by Constable u. T.. Swartz,
who said that one of the roads in that
ward has been bad SO long that the con-
dition is chronic.
Constable Fred Addison, of Old Forge,
reported that David Freedman is SELL
ing liquor without license and that
Charles Jacobs is selling on Sunday.
Constable John Murray, of the Sec
ond ward of Olyphant, reported that
John Meke and wife are conducting a
tippling house.
Constable James j. Kelly, of the Third
ward of Winton, reported that Saliva
tore Cappello is selling without q IL
cense.
When Constable James Clark. of the
Eighteenth ward, came forward to pre-
sent his report he said the roads in his
bailiwick are in good condition, the laws
with reference to dispensing liquors
obeyed and no children were born out
of wedlock
ANY deer killed out of season."
asked the court, without the suspicion
of smile.
mo, your honor" replied the consta-
BILE with an equally serious mein.
When another constable was sworn
the judge said in the most innocent
way: ANY difficulty in securing a
drink up your way on Sunday?"
"Oh, no." promptly replied the con-
stable. Then he bethought himself OF
the meaning of his reply, shifted from
one foot to the other. twirled his hat
around in his hands and then with
many blush and stammer informed
the court that his vocal organs had
played a trick upon him. What he
meant to say was that it was impossi-
BILE to get Il drink on Sunday The
court had to accept the correction.

DOGS IN COLD STORAGE.
Travelling to Australia in Ice Cooled
Rooms to Join Antarctic Explorers.

A score of dogs are on their way to
Melbourne, Australia, from England,
in a cold storage ship. They have to
be sent in that way because they are
EsquimauX dogs from the coolest part
of Russia and could not stand the heat
the ships will encounter in passing
through the tropics.
Even If they survived the trip if
they took it outside of the cold storage
rooms the heat would enervate them
and leave them unfit for the hard work
they will soon have to tackle. The
dogs are intended to draw the sledges
of the British party on the steamer
Discovery, which is bound on voyage
OF exploration in the Antarctic.
They are strong, wonderfully trained
and can drag heavy sledges over snow
and ice at rafting pace. Their diet
is dried fish, which thoroughly agrees
with them.
They will reach Australia before the
Discovery and will be kept In the ar
tificially cooled rooms until the ex-
ploring party is ready to sail.

That Duryea Debate,

Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In Mondays issue OF The Tribune, Mr, H.
q. Bowen states that your Duryea correspondent
was abusing his privileges as correspondent be-
cause he reported the true facts OF debate held
March !, at the Brick Methodist Episcopal
church.
Such is not the case. Your correspondent re-
ported the truth and nothing but the truth
Il Is not customary to have four judges and il
ia unusual for the chairman TO leave his chair and
closet himself with the judges when they are
reaching a decision. The chairman has admitted
that he made an error, and the Judges state that
one rendered his decision on rhetoric, another on
logic, ETC., and did not reach a regular decision.
But to quell the unpleasantness that is begin

the affirmative side challenges the negative to
another debate, or series Of them. II confer
ence will end this unpleasant controversy, the af'

Last of the Brockway Series.

The Brockway series Of entertainments given
to large patronage at the Lyceum this winter
closed last night, with readings by George Rid
die and instrumental music by the Listernann
trio, of New York. Like its predecessors it was
OF high class and gave good satisfaction.
Mr. Riddle read the Hugo drama 'Lucrcia
Borgia." Ills portrayal of the almost contnu.
ously tense emotion of the Various characters in
this tragic, not to say awful, story, was truly
artistic. To students Of Hugo it was a rare
treat. His casual readers nigh have been bet
ter satisfied with something relieved by at least
one laugh. However, there was dissatisfac
