Councilmen Cleary, Budd, Aldrlch, Mc

ney Vatrous and Clerk tie Roy were
present. The franchise was granted,
subject to certain restrictions. The
Tractloa company will be required to
lay Its track through Main street by
Oct. 1, and must complete the work of
track laying In thirty days from the
time of starting. The track must be
laid as far north as the Clifford breaker
and the company must pave a width of
eight feet the full length of its track
whenever the borough Is ready to pave
t'he remainder of 'the iftreet. The com
pany will also be required to build a
trestle for Its own use across the creek
at the southern end of the borough and
to fix the bridge mow used by the pub
lic at the same point, by building walls
of stone on each side. The Idea H that
the cars of the company will frighten
hordes and that Mie company ouvht to
make the bridge as safe as possible on
that account. Mr. Altken, president of
the company, was pre'ent and strongly
objected to this laet requirement, even
going so far as to say that his company
could not accept the franchise, since it
embodied such an- objectionable clause.
It la thought, however,, that he com
pany will agree to tfte restrictions Im
posed, and will accept the franchise.
If It does we may expect to enjoy elec
trical tranelt in a very short time.

trade U still serloUHly cuiiMldorlng the new
condition of MfTuIra growing out of the
meeting of last Thuraduy. There was a
proposition which had been handed around
among th trade for some time, orlxlnut-
lug with Mr. Suyre. of the Lehich Valley,
covering the tonnugo for the culemlttr
year and Including uti advance, of ubout 50
cents per ton in the price of coal at the
proper time, Tho proposition wns regard
ed us a good one by most of the people who
suw It and It wus hoped the meetltm
would favor It, It whs violently opposed
by Mr. liold?n. of tho Lackawanna, so
violently that It wus not thought proper
to adopt It, which It is believed the meet
ing would have dono had a vote been
reached. Mr. Ilolden took a strong posi
tion, and suld in very plain words that tho
Lackawanna company would not bind It
self to any plan as to tonnage. lie did not
believe In restriction. The meeting wus
surprised, both at the muttor and manner
of Mr. Holden's remarks and it was
thought that It foreshadowed somo nmv
policy on the part of Mr. Sloan and the
Lackawanna company. There Is a strong
fueling In this city that it is use'.esi to
hold monthly meetings and then to talk
of abaudoninj them.
In Its review of the stock market the
New York Times says: "About tho strong
est stocks on the list have bi2n the cool
ers, while the state of the conl trade ought
to put them among the weakest. Doubt
less the explanation Is that holders are
waiting for the expected settlement of the
disputes between the companies. Nothing
of moment has been done so fur. The sub
ject did not come up at the Morgan din
ner. The general sales agents at their
meeting on Thursday, after four hours'
wrangling, patched up something for an
other month, and ugaln ngreed to put up
prices 50 cents per ton. They did the same
at the lust two monthly meetings, but no
advance was obtained, and probably none
will be from Thursday's action. Th.-y
agreed to restrict production In July to 70
per cent, of the May tonnage. This would
be about all the tonnage that could Le
mined anyway, as all tho companies have
so many cars now loaded with coal that
they could not furnish transportation for
any more. It will take three months of a
tonnage each month below three million
tons to strengthen prices. As we have
previously said In this column, the sales
agents are not compotent to handle this
business. Besides, they have not the au
thority to bind their compnnles to their
agreements or suggestions. The presi
dents must agree rto a plan, and they
themselves be responsible for Its enforce
ment. They must take the conduct of the
business out of the hands of men many of
whom are making so much money In com
missions on the sale of coal, that it Is a
scandal deserving of Investigation by com
mittees of the stockholders of the different
companies.
WAS A DAMAGED WHEEL.
At Least That Was What Slio Concluded
When She Tried to Ride One
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Two bicycles Btood In front of tho
Blunque mansion and the neighbors knew
that iMr. and Mrs. Klanque were to make
their debut as riders 'that evenlng. Before
they had watched long the Uoor opened
and Mr. Blunque appeared.
"Now, When, come along,"' he was sav
ing: "It's easy enough when you grasp the
principle; I've been using my powers of
(observation and I know Just how H
should bo done. Why don't you come
along?"
"Oh, Harold, I'm ashamed In this skirt:
do come and tell me "
I've told you sixteen times already that
It looks well enough and that nobody cn
earth will ever pay half as much attention
to It as you do."
"But, Hnrold, the skirt Is so Bhort!"
"Go upstairs, then, and put on a long
one. '
The Idea! I couldn't ride In a lomr
skirt; I suppose you think my tea gown
would do."
"I think I nm going to ride; you may do
as you please."
'Oh, Harold, dear, wait. Whnt If you
wero to fall and break your neck and I
not there. Oh, I wonder If It Isn't too
windy to rldo today."
'Of course It Isn't. Now. you tettlo

'Oh, Harold, where did you ever learn
so much7 '
"I Just put my common flense to work
why don't you put your foot " But
his pupil was a heap on the sidewalk.
"You moved Just as I was going to get
on," she cried, as soon as she could net
her breath.
After ono more trial she was sentort and
grasping tho handle bar. "Oh, Isn't It
splendid!" she gasped. "I Just know I
can Oh-hl"
As her husband picked her up sho ex
claimed: "They've sold you a damnged
wheel, Harold Blanqua; that's what
they ve done! It Isn t even and M never
will stand firm I Oh, Is that horrid Mrs.
Flyers watching me? If she is, I won't
ride any more."
"Never you mind Mrs. Flyers; sha can
ride like sixty herself."

"The Vansmlth girls are watching you
from their upper window," broke In her
husband, sternly.
Oh, dear; In my hat all crushed In? I
wish I had tried to ride In my old dress,
anyhow."
The next time, by their combined ef
forts, she was able to ride at least six
feet, and she was planning to spin to
Uvanston and back when the collapse
came. Then she sat down to nurse her
bruises while her husbund gave her an
object lesson.
"I'm Just sure your wheel Is better than
mine," she groaned as he mounted, "but.
oh, what a genius you must be to ride so
well the very first time!"
"Oh, I Just put my whole mind to it and
It Is not ut ull difficult," was the modest
reply.
liut Just then a passing wheelman called:
"Hello. lllunquB, doing yourself proud,
ain't you? Why. the las; time I saw you

There Is, and always has been, a certain
class of people that, not knowing why,
will up and say, "Don't go to this doctor,
and don't go to that one; what do you want
to go to him for, why, he la only a qua -k
and fraud." Lt us suy right here that
for that class of people we are really and
truly sorry. How can any one stand
up and ownly condemn a physician or
surgeon right In the face and proof of
their many wonderful cures, unless It b
through Ignorance and prejudice. No
man, woman or child with anything !lk
an ounce of bruins would dare attempt,
und I dun't think, would b guilty of such
an open und Ignorant assertion. We hud
un lustunce the pust week where one of
our patients wus scvervly atnlctcd with
chronic rheumatism and had suffered with
most excruciating pulns for the pait thi-co
months, unable to wulk or even turn ovr
In bed, und hud been treated by the most
enilneut physleluns In Scranton without
even finding temporary tvlii-f. They ik
elded to send for Or. Hmlth and stuff, at
311! Wyoming avenue, und strange us It
may wm, which Is nevertheless tru-,
after one treatment he wus able to wulk
around quite freely. A few days subse
quent to that a relative of his wus ac
cented on tho street by a friend who in
quired after tho putlen's health. The real
tlvo replied that he wus on the road to re
covery und suld that he was being treated
by Dr. Smith, whereto the'frlend replied
that he ought not to let those quacks treat
him, and thnt ho himself would not even
take their medicines. To this we can only
suy, "(Jod help him." Whut ure we com
ing to when Ignorance und prejudice run
be so openly shown and right in the face
and positive proof of the opposite. This
cluss of people we war.t no dealing with
whatever, but to the sensible ami educuted
we Invito a hourly und thorough investi
gation of our method of healing. Come,
