ORIGIN OF MOLLY MAGUIREs.

The present coal strike and it's occa-
sional acts of violence have recalled the
Molly Maguires, whose lawless deeds
made them the terror of the Pennsyl-
vania coal regions as late as 1873, when
young detective from the Pinkerton
agency of Chicago James McParlan at
the risk OF his life, exposed their
secrets and their methods and led TO
the breaking up of the band. The
origin of the name, Molly Maguires, Is
somewhat uncertain; but the tradition
now generally believed according to
the new Harper's Encyclopedias of
United States History, is that Molly
Mcguire was an aged Irshwoman in
the old country who could not pay her
rent, and in consequence was murdered
by the land agent, who took her little
property for the pittance she was un-
able to give her landlord.
This woman's son and his friends
then organized the Molly Maguires for
purposes of revenge, and protection OF
other poor people. Bands OF these stout
young Irishmen disguised themselves in
women's clothes, wearing masks or
blackening their faces with burned
cork to look as terrifying as possible
i'm the commission of their crimes.
While in Ireland the oppressive land
laws were some excuse for such OUT
lawry, in this country 1t had no justin
cation.

Hit A SOLDIER.
The Experience of One of Our Men.

The soldier boys who fought during
the Rebellion went home as a rule in
pretty bad shape, caused by exposure
and improper food and the use of guam
titles of coffee which left its mark in
the wreck Of many a stomach. Mer-
rill Hutchinson of Reading, Mass, tells
his experience.

my coffee drinking commenced when

day and at the close of the war return
ed home almost a wreck.
For years l had dyspepsia of the
worst Kind and could not drink any
thing but warm water or warm milk,
nor eat enough to hardly keep a man
alive. After suffering this way for
years, and half living. l was told by a
friend of your Postum Coffee.
At first l refused to even try it for l

The Reversibility of Life Occupying
the Attention of Scientists.


From Harper's Weekly.
In the last of his lectures at Columbia
university, Professor Loeb took up the
interesting question of the reversibility
OF life-that is, whether the process of
growth could be reversed, and a plant
or animal led back to the seed or germ
cell from which it sprang. Chemists,
of course, regard life nowadays simply
as very complete series of chemical
reactions. which will be one day re-
producible in the test-tube of q labora-
tory. Formerly, chemists were wont to
divide all chemical reactions into those
which are reversible-that is, that can
be conducted in either direction-and
those which are not. Life was set
down as an irreversible reaction. 1t
can so on only in one direction, which
we call growth, but which seems mere
ly release of energy, ending in "a
condition of equilibrium which we call
death, Later researches, however, seem
to make 1t clear that all chemical re-
actions are reversible. For example,
the carbon of coal combines with the
oxygen of the air TO form carbonic- acid
gas, which goes on with the smoke.
The reaction is attended with intense
heat. For long while it was supposed
that this chemical combination could
only take place in one way. 1t seems

SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
Successful Candidates for Nomina-

rose Yesterday.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Montrose, Aug. 19.-Today the town
has been thronged with politicians and
delegates from all over the county to
attend the Republican county conven-
ton, which was held in the court house
this afternoon. Unusual interest has
been manifest on account of the num-
ber of aspirants to the different offices,
each or whom had small army of
followers and nearly all who came
swarmed in excited groups on the
streets.
The convention was harmoniously
carried out. but owing to the number
of candidates the business of the day
was not completed until late in the af-
ternoon.
The successful candidates for Office
We're chosen by the delegates as fol-
lows: For representatives, A. c. Bar
rett, New Milford; Henry Rose, Silver
Lake; sheriff, Warren L. Sterling, Jes-
sup; treasurer, p. ii. Lines, Great
Bend; register and recorder, NJ Nc
Vicar. Hopbottom; county commits
sioners, A. o. Tiffany, Dimock; Gilbert
Il. Mckune, Harmony.

perature the reverse action sets in, so
that at 1000 or 1900 degrees C. coal and
oxygen do not combine-the coal does
not. burn, or at least only partly. a
familiar example is found in the car
bons of the arc-light, which do not
burn away at once, as one might eX-
pect, because the temperature of the
arc flame Is too high-above 5000 de-
srees c. All chemical union seems
likewise just a question of physical
conditions-heat, pressure, state of
division, presence of third substances,
etc. The same seems true of the phe-
nomena of life, With certain primitive
animals or plants it is possible to re-
duce a grown adult organism back to
start growth in an entirely new direc-
tlon again, and all this simply by con-
tact, either with hard substance, or
water of different holding of salt, etc.
1t is extraordinary. almost unbelievable
but it is true. OF course. this refers
as yet only to the lowest forms of life.
But the higher organisms-an apple
tree or man-seem rather vast
colonies or aggregations of primitive
single-celled affairs than anything
radically different and new; so that
what Is true of the lowest being holds,
in modified way, for the highest. The
time when we shall be able by chemical
means to convert nonagenarlan INTO

logist found that a grown and, so to
speak, nonagenarian polyp could be
