Y. M. 0. A. 00NVENTI0N-
The Annual District Convention of
the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion convened in the Presbyterian
church, Friday afternoon at three
o'clock. The convention was opened
by devotional exercises conducted by
C. VV. Harvey,of Bucknell University,
alter which came the organization.
Prot. C. H. Albert was chosen chair
man, and G. W. Alexander, of Buck
nell University, secretary. Prof A.
K. Aldinger read an interesting paper
on "Bible study," after which the con
vention adjourned.
At 5:30 the delegates were ban
queted in the church parlors by the
Ladies Auxiliary, of town. At the
conclusion of the banquet Rev. J.
D. Smith delivered the address of
welcome which was responded to by
S. M. Bard, of Harrisburg, State
Secretary.
The evening session was occupied
by a praise service and an able ad
dress on "'The Power of Consecrat
ed Life," by Dr. Dayton Roberts of
Williamsport.
The Sunday sessions were held in
the Methodist church. The con
vention closed with the services in
the evening. The rendition of sev
eral selections from the cantata
"David the Shepherd Boy." under
the direction of F. N. Turner, was
an enjoyable part of the program.
ANOTHER such a "victory" as that
claimed by the Republicans at the re
cent election would play havoc with
the prospects of that party. In Penn
sylvania the Democrats cut down the
Republican plurality over one-half,
gained seven congressmen, and elected
87 members to the legislature. Adding
the states of New York, Massachusetts,
New Jersey and Maryland, they gained
twenty six seats in congress. In New
York they cut a Republican plurality
268.000 down to 20,000; in New Jersey
from 87.000 to 5,000; in Massachusetts
from 173,000 to 83,000. Minnesota
elected Ltnd, Democrat, by 10,000
plurality, the second Democratic gov
ernor in that state in forty years. The
Republican majority in congress is cut
down to a dangerously narrow margin.
Last, and not least, the Pennsylvania
legislature will stand 155 to 99 against
Quay.— Ex.

Pkilo Reunion.
The Philo Reunion, held last
Thursday evening, was a very
pleasant affair. The meeting in the
auditorium was opened by a well
played selection by the Normal Or
chestra. President Moore made a
brief address of welcome, and intro
duced the entertainer Prof. Ford of
Baltimore, who for nearly two hours
kept the audience in good humor.
At the close of the entertainment,
all were invited to the gymnasium
where an informal reception was
held. The room was beautifully
decorated and handsomely furnish
ed for the occasion. It was alto
gether a very successful affair.
The returns of the soldier vote
were received and counted at
Wilkesbarre on Monday, says the
Hazleton Standard. But the total
soldiers' vote amounted to one, the
single voter being George A. Knecht
of tlie Third ward, Wilkesbarre,
who was a member of the Fourth
Regiment stationed at Allentown,
ready to be mustered out at the time
of election. Prothouotary Paul
Dash stated that it will cost nearly
SIOO to Luzerne county to count
this single vote. The board of six
teen clerks were brought together
for this work and each will receive
$5 a day. Then the expressage on
011 the books, etc., will foot up the
balance.
A pretty wedding took place in
St. Matthews' Lutheran church last
Wednesday afternoon, when A. R.
Teitsworth and Miss Maz'e Kunkle
were made man and wife. The
words which made the two young
people partners for life were said by
the pastor Rev. McLinn, in the
presence of a large number of guests.
A reception at the home of the
bride's father on Fifth and Catharine
streets followed the ceremony, after
which the couple left on the D. L.
& W. train for thei • new home at
Bridgeport, Conn. The groom
formerly resided in this town.
There seems to be an enormous de
mand for buckwheat this season, and
it was fortunate that the crop through
out this section was considerable above
the average of former years. The price
has steadily risen until it has reached
45 cents per bushel here, and will
probably go to 50 cents within another
week. Jasper Lewis, of this place, who
is acting as purchasing agent for Mr.
James Reichard of Bloomsburg, has
shipped over 1800 bushels within the
past twelve days, and has orders to
continue purchasing all that can be
procured in this section. -Benton Ar

McOlure's Magazine for Dec,
Three 1 otable serials begin in the Decem
ber number of McClure's Magazine. "Stalky,"
the first of Kudtard Kipling's scries of stor
ies of Eng.ish school-boy life, is as hearty
and wholesome a tale of school-boy ingenu
ity and adventure as one could wish to read,
and, while complete in itself, leaves the ap
petite keen for more of the same sort. The
first of Miss Tarbell's articles on the " Later
Life of Lincoln," is an even more distin
guished beginning than the first of Mr. Kip
ling's stories. Lincoln appears in the full
sanity and tenderness of his superb charac
ter, in her account of his actions, utterances,
and hearing during the perplexing period be
tween his first election and his first inaugu
ration as President Finally, we have the
first of a series of papers by Captain Mahan
on " The vVar on the Sea and Its Lessons "
—a contribution to the literature of the re
cent war that, coming from a member of the
Strategy Board and the highest authority on
the science of naval warfare, cannot fail to
lie read with eagerness 111 all parts of the
civilized world. This first paper is devoted
especially to showing how a quite different
strategy was required in a war undertaken
primarily to relieve Cuba of Spanish misrule
than would have lieen required had the war
been one for the direct satisfaction of griev
ances of our own against Spain ; and it takes
up and considers, under this new aspect, each
of the earlier movements of the war.

WHAT SHALL WE 1)0.
A serious and dangerous disease
prevails in this country, dangerous be
cause so deceptive. It comes on so
slowly vet surely that it is often firmly
seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may
he divided into three distinct stages is,
First Kidney trouble, indicated by pain
in the back, rheumatism, lumbago, fre
quent desire to urinate, often with a
burning sensation, the flow of urine
being copious or scant with strong
odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen low down
between the navel and the water pass
age. increasing desire to urinate, with
scalding sensation in passing, small
quantities being passed with difficulty,
sometimes, necessary to draw it with
instruments. If uric acid or gravel has
formed, it will prove dangerous if ne
glected.
The Third stage is Bright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that
Dr. Kilmer, the great kidney and blad
der specialist, has discovered a Remedy
famous for its marvelous cures of the
most distressing cases and known as
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
It is sold by all druggists.
As a proof of the wonderful virtues
of this wonderful discovery, Swamp
Root, a samp e bottle and book of val
uable information will be sent absolute
ly free by mail on application to Dr.
Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, N. Y.

Wilbur Faust has learned a lesson
he will probably not forget very
soon. Saturday he unhitched the
horse from the delivery wagon in front
of Geo. B. Jacobs'confectionery store,
and grabing a handful of hay from a
wagon that stood near, held it out in
a tantalizing mariner in front of the
horse and walked into the store The
annimal, anxious to get a bite of the
whist of dried grass, followed him
through the narrow door. But right
here the joke ended. The horse
became frightened, and jumping about
on the tables and show cases, broke
them in pieces. The beast was finally
caugnt and led out of the building but
not until it had pushed one of the
plate glass panels of the door out. It
was an expensive experiment, and
we venture the assertion, that it will
be some time before Wilbur coaxes
another horse in the store.

AMATEURES AT REPAIRING CLOCKS.
A Man's Kinerl.no. With an Kl|tht-<lay
Tlm.l(..|ter,
"Watch repairers have a horror of
touching a clock that has been tinker
ed by amateurs," explained a watch
repairer to a Star reporter, "and they
would rather get out of such a job if
they can do so, for the loss of one of
the smallest parts means considerable
work to reproduce it. and uiuch more
work than the general customer ex
pects or wants to pay for. They try
to get rid of such a Job when they
can, for in nine cases out of ten the
result is not entirely satisfactory. Peo
ple who have a good clock, unless they
know something about the way clocks
are made and how they should be tak
en apart, will do the wise tlilug to let
it aloue when it gets out of order. Ex
perimenting with it often means the
ruin of tfie clock. It is absolutely dan
gerous to try to unwind a main spring,
as men have discovered for them
selves, unless the proper tools are
handy. Now a clock repairer has a
contrivance known as a spring con
troller, which grasps the spring and
holds it while being taken out or be
ing put Into the clock, so that there is
no danger. The spring for un eight
day clock Is often two yards long, and
when suddenly let free It flies out with
nearly the force of a charge of shot
from a gun. Some time ago an officer
of the signal corps thought lie would
linker his clock. He did tiuker It,
and in taking out the main spring it
got away from htm. 111 its flight it
took oft' a $5 lamp from a parlor table
and crashed in the glass of a S2O man
tel mirror, besides doing other dam
age. The $4 clock cost him In damage
exactly $25 besides cutting his hand
seriously."—Washington Star.

the Art centres of civilization
are here, and the half-civtlized

Christmas shopping bent. And
consider this your invitation.
