 Uncle Sam has had a good year. TO- morrow will be the last day of the nseai year. and tho treasury figures Will snow a surnltis for the twelve months or nearly $9O, 900 00n Notwithst standing the large ap- propriations by Congress and the heavy expenses of the war in the Philippines the receipts during the year Will snow almost that great sum in excess or ex- penditures Last years surplus vas about s75,000.00o All the officials of the treasury are surprised at the way In which the receipts have piled up during the last few months Sixty days ago they estimated the surplus for this year at only ST, 100000. But June alone has ad- ded nearly S13, 000 to the right side Of the ledger. As Secretary Shaw says, .'The prosperity of the country is so great that all calculations are likely to pc upset If Congress reduces taxes IL seems to make little difference in the in- come of the government.

NO FOOD in THE HOUSE.
Pathetic Story Told by Mrs. Wini-
fred Champion to the Members
of the Poor Board.

Mrs Winifred Champion. of Maple
appeared before the poor board at it's
regular meeting yesterday afternoon
and requested relief for herself and
her srown-up son, who is unable to
work on account of sickness. Mrs.
Champion was poorly but neatly
dressed and the deep lines on her face
told OF long suffering.
It's pretty hard times we're havin,
sir, me and the boy said she. He
can't do any work because he's sick,
and I'm too old to do much. It's little
we have to eat and there's hardly any
thing we have in the house now"
Haven't YOU got apy food at all?"
asked Director Fuller.
only Il bit of tea and little sugar
but nothing else was the reply of the
old woman as the tears came into her
eyes.
The board promptly granted her re-
lief for three months, referring her
case to Director Dickert.
Mrs. Bertha Mcconnell, of 31I Birch
street, appeared before the board and
asked relief for herself and her three
children. Director Shotton stated that
Mrs. Mcconnell had recently been az
rested for maintaining disorderly
house and objected to granting her
relief. The case was dismissed and it
was decided to request Mrs Duggan to
investigate conditions and take the
children away from the woman if she
thinks conditions warrant such action.
The question of installing new time
recorders and a new local telephone
system in the Hillside Home was
brought up and it was decided to refer
the matter to the home committee for
consideration.
The report Of Superintendent Beemer
of the home showed that there were
ASS inmates in the institution on Jan. 1.
Seventeen We're discharged during the
month and eighteen were admitted,
making Il total OF 459 inmates on Jan.
81, classified as follows: Insane males,

A CLEVER WRESTLER.
Luttberg Threw Two Men in Three
Minutes Last Night.

MAX Luttberg, the New York Wrest-
ler appearing at the Star, again de-
monstrated his ability last night by
throwing Sam Hodsins, of Jessup, once
in a minute and half and william
Acre, of Bellevue, twice in the same
length of time.
Hodeins is considered by many to be
Il very clever wrestler and he sized up
about evenly with Luttberg last night
The latter got u nasty hold on his arm
in about ten second and simply forced
him on his shoulders by twisting that
member. Acre was III the audience
and announced his intention of maxi
ing try for the $2j offered BY Lutt-
burg to any man who will stay fifteen
minutes with him.
He weighs about ten pounds more
than Luttberg but proved like a dunn
my in the hands of the latter who
downed him in thirty seconds, and
then, to show there was no hard feel
ing, gave MIN another chance, and put
him down again in less than u min
ute. Abe Cochran, OF North Scranton,
stayed eleven minutes with him yes
terday afternoon, making an excellent
showing. Tonight Luttberg meets
Cochran again and also Joe" Murphy.
He makes an offer of $50 to Prof. NJ.

city, If the latter will stay with him

II pay my men and that's what all
of your union contractors can't say"
declared Walters. Your a liar" says
the walking delegate. "You'r a lar,''
echoed the non-union boss.
Walters says at that juncture Pat
terson struck him. Patterson says WAL
ters struck at him and in warding off
the blow, possibly. his hand did come
slightly in contact with Walters face.
He positively averred, however, that he
did not give him an intentional blow.
The jury came in after couple of
hours delberation and declared it
a
them out to try again. An hour later
they again came in and declared there
was no hope of an agreement. Judge
Newcomb allowed them to go.

Tor the best essay on preventive medi-

of preventive medicine is of meal
culable benefit to the human race"
The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought OF the world is being given
to the subject 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous diseases that
medical men have TO contend with, can
be prevented by the use of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia al
ways results from cold or from an
attack of influenza (grip), and 1t has
been observed that this remedy coun-
teracts the tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands OF cases
in which this remedy has been used
during the great prevalence of colds
and grip in recent years, and can be
relied upon with implicit confidence.
