When the story of Chinese atrocities
filled the papers and shocked the world,
il was the women who drew the pity and
sympathy of all. Doubtless many wife
who heard her husband s words of SYM
pathy for these women thought with a
pang, of the blindness of men to the suf-
fering under their very eyes. II is true.
The suffering of women i'll China was
severe but short Many a wife suffers
for years with daily agony of pain, her
nerves shattered, her strength almost
gone, and never hears word of SYM
pathy.
To women such rs these DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription brings the oppor-
tunity of a new life of health and happi-
ness. II establishes regularity, dries the
drains which weaken women, heals i'll
fammation and liberation, and cures

at is to laugh" is hoW the officials
f the Scranton Railway company re-
gard the widely circulated stories that
it is the intention To zip up tn" rails

While the stuI&. of the ripping pro-

reason given for the application Of the

one Of In" few strike jokes that is
really worth laughing about Now, to
those who might be impressed with
the fear that the company is not max.

better still, that the branch is a
source of expense. 10 these it Nigh,

there is not the vaguest thought of
abandoning the road.
The quietus which The Tribune thus
puts on the ripping rumors will be
appreciated by the merchants of this
city. who have discussed. with some
forebodings. the possibilities of the
abandonment of the line. There is an
immense trade among local stores from
the villages between CarbOndale ana

the trolley line would mean an appr,-
ciable loss to Carbondalc merchants

THE SCRANTON TEAM
TO PLAY CRESCENTS
Manager Lawson Has Arranged
with Local Manager for Exhibition
Game in Scranton on April 26.
Two Carbondale Players to Be
Given Trial by Scranton Manager.

There will be awakened enthusiasm
among base bah cranks- in the city
when they read in The Tribune toda"
that the Crescents are to play game
with the Scranton team of the Penn
Sylvania state League.
Manager Al. Lawson, of the SCran
ton team. sought Il date for an exhibit
tiOn game with the CresCents. and yes
IerdaN the local manager received word
thar the CresCents should come 10
Athletic park. Scranton, to play a
game on Saturday, April 26.
Ns mentioned before, this announce
ment viii create unbounded enthus-
iasm among local fans, who win he
out in force ON the day arranged, and
viii accompany the team to scranton
with big supply of encouragement
Tor the players ana determination 10
give the professional leaguers Il run
for their money. 1t is something to
feel tlattcred over, the securing of this
game. and there's no mistaking the
eurncstness and VSor which will be
put into the preliminary work, in on
der to make the contest interesting.
The members of the CreScents ave
requested to meet this evening in then
rooms. on Salem avenue, to discuss
plans for the practice and other ar
engagements for the game
Another interesting base bail item is
that Manager Lawson is going To give
tive members of the Crescents Il trial
ON the Scranton team. The players
are Walter LOTUS. the catcher, and
james Murray, third baseman. Both
players, in their positions, are with.
out an equal in this section. This is
readily conceded by conservative
judges of good bah playing. If the
young men prove satisfactory, they
are assured of place on the team.
Mr.. LOTUS. however. will probably not
take advantage of the offer, as he has
other plans in view. The unsolicited
offer is lIatterng to these popular
players.
