PENNSYLVANIA ASSOCIATION
OPPOSED TO WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Stirred by the rising and popular
feeling against the "Votes for Wo-
men" propaganda, anti-suffragetts
from all over the county will gather
in the Y. M. G. A. hall at Scranton,
on Thursday evening, November 23,
to hear an address by Mrs. Grace
Duftield Goodwin, of Washington, D.
G. Mrs. Goodwin is one of the ablest
speakers on the 'anti" side of the
suffrage question. She will tell of
the many evils which are directly
traceable to woman suffrage in some
or the states where the right of fran
chise has been extended to women.
Thursday nights meeting will be
presided over by Mrs. Horace
Brock, of Lebanon, Pa, president of
the Pennsylvania Association OPP
posed to Woman Suffrage. Mrs.
Brock will also make an address.
Among the other speakers will be
Mrs. j. Gardner Cassatt and Mrs.
Charles B. Penrose, of Philadelphia,
and Miss Laura M. Sloan, also of the
Quaker City and secretary of the
Pennsylvania Association.
1t was Miss Sloan in fact who ar
ranged for the coming meeting.
About one week ago, she came to
Scranton to speak against woman
suffrage at meeting of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution.
Her campaign met with such hearty
approval from both the men and
women of the county, that she was
prevailed upon to remain in Scran-
ton and call mass meeting as soon
as possible, so that the great need
of strong opposition against "votes
for women" could be placed before
the people of the community.
Tickets of admission have been
printed for the coming assembly, and
| reserved seats for the holders of
these tickets will be held at the hall
until 8 o'clock on the evening of the
meeting.

When you feel nervous, irritable,

Mi-o-na goes to the seat of your

stomach misery. 1t builds up and
strengthens the stomach walls and

NEW TARIFF LAWS EFFECT.
Treasury Statement Finds but Little
Decrease In Duties Collected.

Although the new tariff act, with its
lowered rates of duty, has been in eff
feet over a month, the customs re-
ceipts have shown little falling off.
A treasury statement made a few
days ago shows that the customs re-
ceipts for October amounted to $780,
$4,000, about $4,000 less than those
of October, 1912.
The deficit for the fiscal year to date,
the statement shows, is $5,757, ,627,
about $3,900,000 more than at the cor
responding period last year.
Pension payments under the Sher-
wood act are apparently largely re,
sponsible for the larger deficiency. In
1912 the October payments amounted
to about $50, 100000, ane for the same
period this year nearly $57 100000.
The total pay warrants for October,
1913, were $593G6,994, with total re
ceipts of $64, 196,633. The net balance
In the general fund of the treasury on
Nov. 1 was $124923, 1913. In national
bank depositaries to the credit of the
United States treasurer there was SOL
121.101.
