ABOUT GENERAL GORDON.
Carbondalians Who Met the Dis
tineuished Southerner,

Carbondalians who last winter met
General John b. Gordon, that grand old
man, the distinguished and venerated
son of the South. on the occasion of his
lecture at the Grand, during the Smith
Singer course. will read with pleasure
the following interesting bit of news,
taken from the Birmingham, Alabama,
News, and join in the Fluctuations OF
the event.
The News says: "John b. Gordon,
over his protestations, has again been
unanimously elected commander-n-
chief of the United Confederate Vet
Grams. In war there was none more
courageous and more chivalrous. In
peace he has striven. while tenderly
true to the heroic memories of the
great struggle in which he distinguished
himself, to bring into close harmony
and more fraternal union those who
wore the blue and those who wore the
gray His eloquence has touched many
hearts where bitterness was raging to
gentle resignation and kindly feelings.
His own example has led to emulation
many thousands upon either side of
Mason and DiXon's line. In all efforts
for greater peace and goodwill among
his countrymen there has been no trace
of subservience and no yielding of self
respect. His attempts to bring about a
thorough reconciliation are but the eX-
preston of a brave and generous heart
and broad-minded patriotism. John
ID; Gordon has played his part well in
life's drama. His reelection by his de-
voted fellow-heroes will be applauded

qualification that this year many

those who did We're well repaid, and In
many instances surprised, at the good
work even of their own children. The
exhibition, which comprised the whole
studies, was, with very few exceptions,
very neat and accurate. and in the
matter of writing every room showed a
marked improvement. One of the pleas
antest surprises of the whole exhibition
was the neat and well-written exercises
of the children of the primary room,
and taking into consideration the ages
of these children the specimens shown
We're remarkable. The blackboard draw
ings of some of the little boys in rooms
5, Z and were also exceedingly good.
In room the relief modelling exhibit,
which Is something new, was much ad-
mred. The free-hand drawings in
room 10 We're highly commendable,
while in room II the production maps,
upon which was placed every state and
territory of the country. specimen of
it's principal production, was very much
commended. The exhibit in this room,
as we'll as room IL. was most inteSest-
ing. the philosophy papers and draw
ings. the geometry specimens and bot
any work in the latter being prominent
features. On the whole, the teachers
and scholars have reason to be we'll
pleased at yesterdays success.

A SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. May Belle Cramer, Wife Of
Merchant Louis Cramer Unexpect-
edlv Called Hence,

A sudden summons to depart this life
came to Mrs. May Belle Cramer, wife
of Merchant Louis w. Cramer, at her
home on Laurel street, yesterday fore
noon.
Mrs. Cramer was taken on Monday
with what was supposed to be a mild
attack of grip. However, Wednesday
afternoon she sat on the porch of the
residence and yesterday she was about
the house feeling so comfortable and
cheerful that Mr.. Cramer had no hesi-
fancy in going to his store on Salem
avenue. About 10 o'clock she collapsed.
DR.. ID. l.. Bailey was hurriedly sum-
moned, but he was at Mrs. Cramers
bedside only n few minutes before she
expired. Heart failure is ascrbed as the
cause of death. Mr.. Cramer reached
home after his wife had passed away.
The news of Mrs. Cramer's sudden
and unexpected death sent a thrill of
sorrow through the wide circle Of
friends to whom she was endeared by
her beautiful traits of character. The
news was likewise received with sad
ness and gloom throughout the COM
munity, for Mrs. Cramers gentle in
fuence was widespread.
Belle Fuller, only daughter of John and
Lizzie 7. Fuller, the latter Of whom sur
wives, was born in Carbondale twenty
five years ago and lived here continu-
ously, with the exception of n few years
spent in Nicholson and in Jermyn. She
was graduated from the Carbondale
High school in the class of SO. and
taught school for several years achiev-
ing an enviable record of efficiency
Mrs. Craner was a member of the
Berean Baptist church and eXerted an
effective influence in the Sunday school,
particularly. in which she labored with
characteristic zeal and unselfishness.
Mrs. Cramer was welded on April 81,
1898, to Lewis Cramer at their new
home in Jermyn, by the venerable Rev.
w. Il. Grow, of this city. Besides Mr.
Cramer, one child, Leland Russell aged
six months, survives; also Mrs. Cramer's
mother, Mrs. Lizzie I. Fuller.

L. j. Winn, machinist in the em-

escape, but saved himself by his own
efforts. He told this story to report
er as follows:

time to spend in rest. 1t was all right
till a year ago when I began to lose
flesh and to experience a severe pain

sharp at times, l could not stoop over

If anything 1 can say about the remedy

afflicted as I was, l am glad to say it,
for there is no doubt that DR.. Williams

THE BREWERY TROUBLE.
It Was Over the Employment of
Certain Union Hands.


There is some misapprehension as to
the labor trouble at the new plant of
the Fell Brewing company. in Simpson.
The story that was widely circulated
was that Contractor ONeill, of Scran-
ton, who has the contract for the erec-
tion of the structural iron. wanted to
employ non-union help and for this
reason President Erantz stopped the
work in favor OF union help: and that
Mr.. O'Nell had abandoned the contract
The trouble, however, did not arise from
the employment of non-union hands
nor has Contractor O'Neill given up the
work. He endeavored to and did en-
ploy union help. but it was not the
class OF men who work on structural
iron that was engaged. Men, other than
structural iron workers, were engaged,
and at wages that, while they accorded
with the class of labor employed, We're
not the same that the iron workers
would receive. The objection, therefore,
it will be seen. was to the employment
of men from other trades union than
the iron workers. who. the American
Federation of Labor officers in this dis
trict insist, are the only ones who We're
qualified under the union rules to do
tHe WORK. III otner WOfdS, the IRON
workers We're being Disseminated
against by the employment of men
from other trades unions at lower
wages, and who We're qualified to do
this class of work.
On Thursday the American Feder-
alton of Labor organizer from Carbon
dale had a conference with Contractor
ONeill in Scranton. While no positive
agreement was reached, it Is likely that
the matter will be adjusted, and none
but structural iron workers will be en-
gagged to do the work

No Use for it Any More.

How good food put a good minister

story. He says, "A little more than a

had been suffering from dyspepsia for
about five years l had tried all the
remedies my friends told me about but
with no permanent relief.

After beginning the food q change
began to take place and gradually
the dyspepsia and disturbance left me.

CLOSE OF THE SEASON.
"Arizona" Will Be the Event of the
Dramatic Year.

The close of the dramatic season in
Carbondale will occur this evening
when Augustus Thomas "Arzona"
will be given an elaborate production
at the Grand.
Manager Bryne was exceedingly for
tunate in securing this attraction for
no better Offering could be provided
for Carbondalians as the close OF what
has. under the circumstances, been a
successful season. "Arizona" ranks
with 1.-THE Bonnie Brier Bush" and is
under the same management. OF
course the acting of j. II. Stoddard
will not be realized in this production,
but it can be safely said that the even
ing will not be whit less enjoyable.
The rest Of the company is made up of
as capable actors as We're seen in 'The
Bonnie Brier Bush" The principle
suggestion that ARIZONA" is in the
same class as 1.-THE Bonnie Brier Bush"
is of itself an assurance of rare
dramatic treat.
The sale of seats so far indicates a
good house, but some of the choicest
remain, which can be safely procured
before 6 o'clock this evening.
