Other News of the Day.
The West Side board of trade held
their monthly meeting last evening In
St. David's hall on North Main avenue.
There were present William H. Roe, T.
Fellows Mason, William Farrell, H. IX
Jones, A. M. Morse, Charles E. Daniels
and D. M. Jones. Mr. Jones presided.
It was reported that nothing further
had nut been heard from Mr. McGee in
regard to establishing a tapestry fac
tory on the West Side. Philip Williams,
o Price street, was propshed as a mem
ber of the board.
Regarding a branch pustofllce,
Charles Daniels and William Farrell
called upon Postmaster Vandling and
Mr. Vandllnf? stated that the govern
ment did not realize the large amount
of ground that Scranton covered, con
sidering Us revenue. He proposed that
a special request be sent in to the gov
ernment stating the above facts. Will
iam Farrell thought It advisable to
refer to the recent canvass which had
been made here, when It was found
that the West Side office was neces
sary. On a motion of H. D. Jones the
report of the committee was received,
and the committee continued. After
some warm discussion It was decided
to send a petition to the government.
A petition had been received from the
residents of Ninth street asking for the
opening of that thoroughfare to Meri
dian street. Mr. Daniels thought it ad
visable to ask the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western company, who are
about to- wash the culm from the dump
near by. to wash It from this point
when the work begins. A committee
consisting of William Farrell, William
II. Roe and TV Fellows Mason was ap
pointed to see the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western company In re
gard to continuing Oxford street, which
now ends at Ninth street, to Railroad
avenue. This was thought to be a
most advisable thing, as It would open
traffic from the lower end of the West
Bide. The members held a short dis
cussion on the rumor that the Agricul
tural society thought of purchasing
land on the West Side for a driveway.
D. M. Jones, ex-secretary of that so
ciety, stated thut no definite action had
been taken.. The meeting then ad
journed. Report of the Itcllcvue Fund.

A Dastardly Trick.
From a contemporary of recent date we
pick the following information which muy
prove of iiomo value and serve as a warn
ing to those of our rcuders who own line
pianos. '
A young German of prepossessing ap
pearance has recently been working over
a circuit In western New York tuning and
repairing pianos.
On his first visit his custom has been to
deposit the eggs of moths (which he car
ries around with him) In tho Instrument
These soon hatch into tho grub state and
of course at once attack the felt In the
action of the instrument, working much
havoc. On his return visit he Insists on
looking over tho piano once more, If only
to see If it hag sustulned Its pitch. Of
course he discovers the ravages of the
moth, to the unsuspecting owner, and the
damage has to be made good. The rase
which our contemporary cites was that
of a new Muthushck piano one of the
most reliable Instruments made, and be
fore the dumago could be made good at
every point, n new action was necessary
Moral Don't let a stranger monkey
with your piano.

Against Cement Sidewalks.
An ordinance forbidding the laying
of cement sidewalks passed first and
second readings and Chairman Chit
tenden urged Its speedy passage be
cause the city is laying Itself open to
dnmage suits arising from the use of
this material. In this kind of weatner
these walks are particularly danger
ous. Mr. Williams, of the railway commit
tee, reported favorably on the ordin
ance granting franchises to the Valley
Passenger Street Railway company
over certain streets" of the city. The
ordinance passed first reading with a
protest from Mr. Wagner, who took the
floor In opposition to the passage of
the ordinance. He declared that coun
cils ought to move slowly and weigh de
liberately every step before voting
away the must Valuable franchises the
city can bestow. When the ordinance
waa called on second reading Mr. Clark
moved to postpone further action until
the next meeting so that members who
so desired would have opportunity to
offer any amendments they saw fit
The motion prevailed and It was fol
lowed by another motion by Mr. Man
ley fixing the next meeting of the
branch on Thursday night. This mo
tion was lost. The next meeting will
therefore be on Thursday, Jan. 17.
I.aucr liaised a Point.
When the ordinance granting the
right of way to the Scranton North
End Street Railway company was
oalled up on first reading Mr. Lauer
raised the point that the construction
of the ordinance was faulty, as It virtu
ally bestowed the entire street to the
company. On his motion the matter
was postponed for consideration.
An ordinance passed third reading
providing for the repair of North Main
avenue In the Second ward.

A GREAT AGREEMENT.
25,000 Physicians of One Mind.
Food for Strength First. Medicine for
Cure Second. The Least Food that
will give Hoat Nourishment, the Kind.
In this enlightened age, the old theory
held by physicians to get as much medi
cine in the least possible time Into the
system of a patient, even at the expense
of stomach, blood, brains, nerves, aud
often, in the end, life itself has been
abandoned.
The old way was to "dose." If the
patient had a tremendous constitution,
lie sometimes "pulled through;" If not,
which was more often the case, that spe
cial disease was considered more danger
ous, as it bad claimed another for its own.
liut this is all changed now. All promi
nent physicians agree on obe subject, any
way. It is this build the patient up
first, give him new blood and strength,
add flesh to his bones, lie' then ready
to receive the benelit of proper medical
treatment.
To do this eff ectuall y.'tliat must be given
which will, in the least quantity, produsre
the greatest amount of vitality, not a
stimulant which quickly reacts disastrous
ly, but a genuine food, a muscle, bone,
and blood maker. Such a food was long
sought for, and ut lust discovered iu that
original and only raw food extract
Dovinlne.
By the use of this wonderful life-generating
preparation, every organ of the
body becoming strengthened by nourish
ment, naturally begins to perform its ordi
nary functions, and at ouce the patient is
on the road to recovery.
It Is this result, obtained in hundreds
of oases where Uovlnlne 1ms been used,
that lias caused its indorsement by 25,000
prominent physicians in America.
In additiou, thousands who have been
benetited can vouch for the wonderful re
sults obtuined by the use of Bovinine,
for invalids, the old, convalescents, the
over-worked, or, iu fact, all who have
found It uecessary to maiutain strength,
flush, and vigor.
