Century riding is a cruel recrea tion as indulged in on Sundays by many clerks, book-keepers, and others, who stand at counters or desks six days in a week, with scarcely any outdoor exercise.

Penman Collector of Internal Revenue at Scranton, Pa., in sufficient quanti ties to supply the demands of all tax payers who may need them, there will be no reason in the future why busi ness men who sell proprietary articles shall not comply with the law on ac count of failure to secure the proper stamps. Notice is hereby given that the law requiring stamps to be affixed to articles enumeiated in the war Revenue Act of June 13, 1898, will be strictly enforced. All parties who have failed to pay the tax on account of their failure to procure stamps, should at once submit a written state ment of all articles sold by them with the retail price of each, so that the tax may be determined and an assess ment made for the same.

If your baby is delicate and sickly and its food does not nourish it, put fifteen or twenty drops of Scott' 6 Emulsion in its bottle three or four times a day and you will see a marked change. We have had abundant proof that they will thrive on this emulsion when other food fails to nourish them. It is the same with larger children that are delicate. Scott's Emulsion seems to be the element lacking in their food. Do not fail to try it if your children do not thrive. It is as useful for them in summer as in winter. Ask your doctor if this is not trut, SCOTT & BOWNB, Ch.MUH, N.w York SO&RLET FOE JUDGE. The Republicans of Montour coun ty held their county convention last Saturday, and among other things, nominated James Scarlet Esq., for Judge. Upon being notified Mr. Scarlet appeared before the conven tion and made the following remarks : "GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION : —I am deeply sensible of the honor conferred on me by the people through you. To merit the esteem and approbation of one's fellow-citi zens is one of life's greatest pleasures, and an assurance that One has not lived wholly in vain. To be chosen as a candidate for the position of Judge, to sit in these halls and ad minister Justice, bespeaks a confi dence in me which having won I will never betray. I began the practice of the law in these courts twenty years ago, under one of the most illustrious, dignified and just judges that ever graced the bench. I learned to prac tice law with such men as Comly and Baldy, two of the brightest ornaments of the bar of Pennsylvania ; and no act of mine as your candidate shall dim the lustre of this bar, or discredit the action you have taken. I accept the nomination, not from any selfish ambition, though it is an ambition which any lawyer may worthily enter tain, but from a sense of duty which I owe to the party and the people, and to myself as a member of this bar, in an effort to redeem the judiciary of this district from the control of design ing politicians. So long as the con stitution and laws are honestly and fearlessly administered in all of our courts, the country is safe and the rights of the people are secure. When the judiciary is corrupt, when justice is administered through fear or favor, then, indeed, is the beginning of the end. Now, more than ever, comes the demand for integrity in high places. The country is entering upon an era of expansion, is surging for ward to fulfill its destiny, and to per petuate it without impairment of its high design, the rights of the citizen and the stranger within our gates must be preserved. lam convinced from the moral fibre displayed by our heroes in the present war, that at its close the people will the more deeply feel the necessity of stamping out the spirit of corruption which seeks to pervade the avenue of judicial admin istration and sap the integrity of the nation. By the power which you have this day placed within my hands, the trust you have reposed in me as your candidate, so far as in my power lies I will see to it that the walls which have echoed to the voice of an Elwell, a Comly and a Baldy shall not become the sport of unholy hands and impure impulse. With this mission before me, I have accepted your nomination, and with unfaltering pur pose will protect the trust you have this day confided to my hands." STATE NEWS —Work has been resumed in the Pennsylvania Railroad shops, at Altoona, after a suspension of two weeks. —With a view to securing a share of the $60,000,000 Spang es tate, J. L.
