JOHN ]. HART. of Pittston, who
was at the Harrison house yesterday,
| as the representative of Ross & COM
| pany, of West Pittston, is one of the
foremost men of that city, filling about
all the important offices in that city, with
the exception of the chief executive.
AT the present time he wears a beauti-
full gold badge presented to him in
recognition OF his services as chief of
the fire department, which position
he now fills most acceptably. Mr.. Hart
has been councilman for as many
terms as he cared to serve, though he
could go back again if he so desired.
For six years he was chairman of CONF
man councA, an exceptional record,
and he was also chief of police. Mr..
Harts genality is one of his pleasant
characteristics and though he has been
coming to Carbondale only short
time he has acquired many sincere
friends.
WADE M. FINN, ex-select council
man,of Scranton, illumined the Carbon
dale Office of The Tribune yesterday
with his broad CHEEKY smiles. Mr..
Finn is u frequent visitor to Carbon
dale. where he has Il host of friends,
acquired on his frequent visits to this
CITY from his summer home at CRYSTAL
lake. This is one of the rare delights
of Mr.. Finn's life the soiourn he makes
eoch wear beside the shores of this,
beautiful sheet of water Here from
June |, until the chill of October, he
forgets about the city's strife, and he

plemented with a theoretical instruction
which could not be acquired in his ex-
perience The news of his success will
be goods news to his many friends in
Carhondale.
CAPTAIN GEORGE p. BROWN,who
has been in the city for month en-
rolling members in True Blue, was one
of the many who volunteered when
the call to arms came at the Spanish
American war outbreak. He went not
as private but at the head Of a COM
pany of volunteers from Stroudsburg
in the Ninth Regiment of Wilkes-Barr
Captain Browns company was ready
like the Others to go to the front, but
his regiment was not called beyond
Chickamauga park. The captain is
somewhat of q veteran in the national
guard service, though he is a young
man. He belonged to the Thirteenth
regiment of Scranton and was active
in it's rank when Col. Hitchcock was
at the head. Mr. Brown now holds
the highest place in the service of the
order which he represents being in
charge of the field men a position to
which he advanced from a humble
solicitor.

DAY OF WIND AND RAIN.
An Instalment of Weather That
Was Greatly Disliked.

Yesterday was day Of wind and
rain that seemed somewhat out OF
place to be sundwiched among the days
of april. The rain was enough like
April, but the wind was as wild and
s,Tly as a day in March.
The streets We're all but deserted
during the day, and those who did
have to go out had to battle with reso-
luton against the wind that carried
them with mist of rain. The blow
WAS responsible for many broken
shutter and many roof lost Shin
giles throughout the city.
The wind came near to causing
disastrous accident. The boards which
enclosed the front of the new Nc
Andrew building, on South Main street,
were torn off and blown onto the
street, just as passerby, Richard Ma
lone, went by. The boards landed be-
hind with a crash, missing him by a
fen feet.

moved to the center of the store, and
the room which it occupied will be
quite acceptable for shelves for papers.
The changed position of the office does
not interfere, but facilitates the busi-

erected, which will contain all the

are most in demand. The papers will

Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract slight
colds and recover from them without
taking any precaution or treatment,
and knowledge of this fact leads
others to take their chances instead OF
giving their colds the needed attention.
1t should be borne in mind that every
cold weakens the lungs, lowers the
vitality and makes the system less able
to Withstand each succeeding cold and
payes the way for more serious dis
eases. Can you afford to take such des-
perate chances when Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy, famous for it's cures of
colds, can be had for trife? For sale

to take his much needed rest.
One day DIR. T., who had company
to dinner, sat quietly chatting in a
corner Of the drawing room when
he was told that a patient had come
to see him who was strongly recon-
mended by some fellow practition-
ers. The doctor submitted with a
bad grace and stepped into his sur
gerry.
Our physician was in the habit OF
ascertaining the condition Of the
patient by asking him to count and
generally stopped him at thirty or
thirty-five, quite enough for the
purpose. This time also DIR. p. ask
ed his patient to count. Time pass
ed, and the guests began TO feel
alarmed at his protracted absence.
One of them opened the surgery
door. DR.. p. had gone to sleep in
his armchair, and the patient had
