DOHERTY BACK AT WORK
Member of Striking Street Car Mems
Executive Committee Returned
Yesterday with Seven Others.

p. H. Doherty, a member of the eN-
ecutive board of the striking street car
mems union, returned to work yester-
day for the Scranton Railway COM
pany, together with seven others of
the strikers.
Mr.. Doherty is the first officer of the
union to return to work, and has been
long recognized as one of the brainiest
and most intelligent men in the Or
ganization. He was a candidate for
the presidency just prior to the strike.
but was defeated by p. j. Shea. He
was one of those most active in the
interests of the strikers during the
strike.
Some twenty other strikers We're to
return to work yesterday with the
eight who did go back, but because
they could not receive the runs they
wanted this week. they will not go
back until next Monday.
There are now back at work between
125 and $50 of the $50 men who orig
inally went out on strike. The larger
portion of the remaining 200 have Sc
cured other positions, in many in
stances superior to those they left so
that the actual number of men who
are now unemployed as the result of
strike, including the officers and MEM
/bers of the executive board is not
much over fifty.

MIX-UP IN DICKSON.
Two Councilmanic Factions Up in
Arms Against Each Other.

There are lively doings these days
in Dickson City borough. 1t all grows
out of the fact that James Reid and
John REILLY, opposing candidates for
council from the First ward, each re-
ceived the same number of votes at
the last election.
There are two factions in the bor-
ough council, the McGarrty faction
and the Benton faction. There are
four of each, leaving the First ward
out of consideration, and when it came
to reorganization on March the
Mccarthy faction ruled out Mr.. Bed
doe, one of the newly elected Benton
ties. and refused to seat him. They
then proceeded to elect REILLY as coun-
Gilman from the First ward, whereat
the other Bentonites left the meeting.
Those remaining proceeded to elect a
full set of all the borough officers
whom councils are allowed to elect.
The Bentonites claim that the election
was illegal and have been since seek
ing to effect another election.
The latest development is the arrest
of Attorney p. +. Loughran, of this
city, on the charge of attempting to
bribe Councilman Crusbank to vote
with the Bentontes. The latter waived
hearing and entered bail. He denies
that he bribed Cruishank,

VALUE or TESTIMONY.
Greater Than Assertion.

There Is none of us so hardened but
| that when we have been able to aid
our fellow creatures by comforting a
benefit or bringing a 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 Paris. Texas,
lady is OF more than usual interest:

Testimony like this should be more
convincing than all claims and asser-
tons, and should leave no doubt in the
mind of the reader as to the merit of
the remedy. Pyramid Pile Cure is sold

or will be mailed by the makers to any
address upon receipt of price. Write

Special Agent Looking Into the
Burning of Street Cars.

Special Agent Dyer, Of the Scran-
ton Railway company, is investigating
the burning of the street cars in Mi
nooka on Wednesday night and spent
some time there yesterday making in
quiries. 1t is an extremely difficult
matter to find the guilty parties but
strong effort will be made to run
down the rngleaders of the mob.
One of the cars was only partially
burned ond it may be possible to re-
pair 1t. The other was completely de-
stroyed by the flames and only IL few
charred timbers and Il tangle of worth
less machinery was found yesterday
morning when the wrecking crew went
down to clear up the track. This car
was equipped with a brand new set of
motors and its value is placed at BE-
tween $1,000 and $1,000.

tremble TO think of the result If this
work should stop, The missing link in
temperance work is the fact that we

liquor men present ii solid front and
stand by each other The only true
way that these temperance societies
can unite and present a solid front
against the liquor traffic is through the
church and ballot box.

PLAINTIFFS CLAIM.

II. p. Geddes. a clerk in Isaac Long s

praisement he made of the dry goods
and clothing salvage. When new they
cost $140.25, he said and in their dam

The defense has three more witnesses
to examine. and the plaintiff will likely
take up half a day with rebuttal testi-
mony. This will probably carry the
case into Saturday. and as the argu-
ment of the law points and closing ad-
dresses will consume the morning, the
case will continue into next week, as

Special Correspondence Of The Sunday Republic.
New York. May 16.-Out of the number!ess
suggestions of the season. from the offerings
OF a multitude Of manufacturers, designers
and dressmakers, there always comes a de-
cision and election Of just the right thing,
which is most valuable and important 70
know.
The right thing in dress is invariably
a simple form-an artistic, perfect, or
derby. refined, Yet novel simplicity. 1t is
this that we offer to our readers to-day,
nnd Is just as important to the econom-
ical woman as II is TO her who has IN
limited means to expend.
From the outlines. from the forms,
from the variations of trimming, the ad-
ditions, the adJuncts, the accessories. even
the smaller pocketbook can determine Just
what lie newest, what is best and wise to
buy In order to produce a fashionable. and,
consequently, well-dressed effect.
To-day. to be fashionable is to be taste
fully attired. 1t does not mean some IN
necessary extreme of cut, a blazoning Of
material. or an emphasis on expense. but
II does mean a correct, dainty. classic effect
with Just a touch of individuality or lido
syncrasy-which makes 1t worth while TO
wear the gown from a picture standpoint.
New Things Made
and Sent to America.
So the privilege to look at gowns that
cost into the thousands would be worth
a great deal to the average woman-to be
able TO examine them. TO handle them. TO
know them. to understand that every devel-
opment is n fortune TO the manufacturer.
The privilege of putting these artistic crea-
tons or Paquin, Doucet, Deuillet. Francis
and Collot before our readers is unique only
because Paris has not yet become familiar
with these gowns.
You know. America is a strange place.
We ret the host IF avHryfhfnU and RET II
before other people. Even the French
gowns are seen in America before Paris
gets a view of them. The new things are
made and sent over to us because We are
ready to pay for them whenever they are
good. French women have TO wait-or usu-
ally do w~Git-until their necessities require
a new gown. Even the wealthiest do not
have a new gown for every occasion.
w6Tare more eT~travagant. and the French
designer and s~tyle-master is particularly in
fatuated with extravagant people. Now let
US see what all this story is about.
1t says. first, laces and embroideries, and.
by the way. embroideries more thar leces.
The embroidered effects. the handwork eff
fects on silk. cotton. linen and even on
wool, are presumably the most desirable
ideas.
II we study these new dresses. we find
that the new laces are embroidered laces
and not mere threadwork.
In the Paquin dress. the material is OF
an exquisite silk grenadine heavily en-
broidered in roses and leaves in the Louis
XVI style, these embroideries rising above
the surface In heavy incrustation in rich and
glossy surfaces. Here is a new thing for
you to understand. 1t LIS the coming of en-
broidered and brocaded fabrics.

Merchandise of To-Day
Has Wearing Value.

Very little of the merchandise to-day is
paor in point of value. II has wearing value.
or must have that to Commend itself to
those who introduce 1t as an article fit FOR
consumption. In the old day. many trashy,
worthless. so-Called fashionable forms were
followed blindly because there was 4 lead
ership which commanded that such things
be worn irrespective of their utility. When
to-day We hear of the reintroduction of
hoorskirts. bustles, crinolines and other
unnecessary adjuncts and materials. we are
Immediately ready to say that such things
will never be worn again. We live in an
era OF common ~sense-even though 1t be
seemingly an era of extravaganza.
Tho freakish. tn bizarre, the unneces-
sary. the srotesque will never have a hear
ing again 50 far as womankind is con-
cerned. In the first place. they would
never again be urged because the men who
make the fashions are too wise and too
sensible. as well as too intelligent and
broad to ever think "~unthinkable' styles.
But again TO our fairy story of ribbons
and mousselines and laces and chiffcns and
butcher linens and piquets and batistes and
the other things which go to make up the
summer season.
