Hon. Charles L. Hawley, the Pro hibition candidate for President Judge in this district addressed a good sized audience in front of the court house Friday evening. He presented the cold water side of the question in a lucid manner and kept the crowd in a good humor, with an occasional joke. Did You Toko Scott's Emulsion through the winter? If so, we are sure it quieted your cough, healed the rawness in your throat, increased your weight, gave you more color, and made you feel better in every way. But perhaps your cough has come back again, or you are get ting a little thin and pale. Then, why not continue the same helpful remedy right through the summer? It will do you as much good as when the weather is cold. Its persistent use will certainly give you a better appetite and a stronger digestion. A It will cure your weak throat and heal IMflb J r our inflamed lungs. U t will cure every case 1 nT of consumption, when * i /I a cure is possible. Don't be persuaded to take something they say is just as good. All Drnffgliti, <oc. and sl. SCOTT * BOWK*, Chmi*u, N. V. William Ellis, chief yoemati of the cruiser Brooklyn, who was the only American killed during the engagements at Santiago, was born and raised in Honey Brook, near Hazleton, so says the Hazleton Plain Speaker. - A complete list and number of killed and wounded since our troops landed on Cuban soil has been as certained. There were 24 officers and 210 men killed ; 81 officers and 1204 men wounded. This when compared with the killed and wounded on the Spanish side is largely in favor of the Americans. Dwight Gallonpe, chaplain 24th New Jersey Infantry, gives the fol lowing account of what he saw, proving the utter disregard of the Spaniards for the Red Cross flag. He says: "On the afternoon of the 3rd, I was visiting the wounded in an hospital tent near a point where the firing was the hottest. A Lieutenant whose name I do not know, was in the other end of the tent, looking at some of his men. Suddenly a shell came through the tent and ex ploded. That officer was torn into shreds. I was hurled fully fifty feet, and injured as you see, and every man in the tent thrown from his cot. "The Spaniards took special de light in firing upon our field hospi tal. We had to move it several times 011 that account. One of the surgeons was killed while dressing the wound of a soldier. In the hasty retreat which the enemy's fire made necessary from the first hospital a lot of our men were left behind, and all of them were killed. Job printers all over the country are now exercising their ingenuity in designing patriotic stationery, and it begins to look as if each hero of the war would receive recognition from the stationer before Congress could vote him a medal. Dewey, Hobson, Shafter, Schley, and Samp son now figure on letter paper, and all sorts of patriotic designs are used to decorate envelopes. These de signs show the stars and stripes in tertwined with the' lone star of "Cuba Libre," American flags with a battleship in vignette, surmounted by the American eagle ; the Union Jack of England and the stars and stripes intertwined. This latter design has been popular in Canada ever since war was declared and it has been utilized on Canadian postal cards. These patriotic designs are printed expensively in bright colors, and on cheap note paper they are printed merely in black and white. They will boom the collections of people who have a fancy for collect ing letterheads. Many such de signs were issued during the Civil war, and some of them of rude con struction, were placed on envelopes mailed at the front. May Pay in Cash. The new revenue law, which re quires all checks to be stamped, may result in a complete change in the system of paying the employees of the Reading Co. The hands of the Reading, including the men em ployed in the mines, and railroad and shops, will require in the neighborhood of 22,000 checks. This would cost the company $440 per month, in case it would be re quired to pay for the 2 cent stamp placed on each. In view of this additional expense, it is probable that the company will distribute the cash. To do this it will be neces sary to put the money up in pack ages before starting out. It is reported that the Lehigh Valley company will pay its em ployes in cash. The Pennsylvania railroad paid with checks this month at a cost of SIOOO for revenue stamps. SHE WAS "PINING." One of the soldiers from a nearby town, now down in Georgia, wrote to a friend at home last week as follows: "Dear •• I wish you would look after my girl. She likes company and I am afraid she will either pine away or hunt another fellow if some good friend don't look after her a bit. Do this for me and I will do as much for you some time if I ever get the chance." The friend at home that very night started out to "look after" the poor girl and found her "pining." He took her out to a restaurant/and look ed after her some When the waiter brought in the check he saw he was just out $1.65 and now says some of 's other friends can step in to help keep his girl from "pining," as his salary will not stand such on slaughts.

HIS RASH WORDS- A bridge builder on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, at Hyndam, said be fore a crowd of men one evening last week that he wished every American soldier who went to Cuba would be killed or die on the island. The next morning his body was found along the railroad tracks with his skull crushed to a jelly. There was but little sympathy for him.

Batman lost their boat en route from Seattle to Sitka. The boat was in tow of a steamer.— Sunbury Daily. That Lizard Again. A live lizard over an inch in length was disgorged the other day by James Sausser, near Easton. The little creature jumped about at a great rate. Sausser for three years has been a sufferer from what the doctors thought was stomach trouble. During the past six months he suffered terribly, and gradually lost in weight until he was a mere skeleton. He had a se vere vomiting fit, and then the cause ot the trouble appeared. Sausser says that over three years ago he took a drink at night from his cistern, and immediately after told his wife he was certain he had swollowed something alive, but he never took steps to get rid of it.
