BRIEF NOTES. Great regret was expressed In this city at the news of W. George Powell's death. He was well known here and was very popular. The handsome, gold watch recently won by William Toole for selling the greatest number of tickets for the re cent Ancient Order of Hibernians' ex cursion to Harvey's Lake, was given to him on Saturday. There are now fifteen murderers In the county Jail awaiting trial. Wynne, the base ball pitcher, will give an exhibition of fancy bicycle rid ing at 3 o'clock this afternoon at Ath letlo Park before the game. He Is one of the best fancy riders In the United States. Charles S. Boyle, of Plymouth, is tho latest candidate for the Democratic nomination for recorder. The funeral of Charles Brodhun took place from his late residence on Carey avenue yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Interment was made In IIol lenback cemetery. It is said that an effort will be made by Mr. Palmer and others to have Jim Norrls tell what he left untold about Architect Myers, of Detroit, and the county commissioners. It Is to be hoped that the treatment llr. Norris has received .while away has not Im paired his memory. C. Bart Sutton or "Bart," as ho Is more generally known, has developed a great amount of strength among the Democrats for the nomination for the shrievalty. H!s experience In the of fice and his wide acquaintance and popularity ought to win him the nom ination. He has made a competent and courteous deputy, and would make on excellent olllcial.

Dum friesshire. Scotland, on April . 1830. He was 6j years of age. A portion ot his early life was spent In England. In isr.4 he camo to ithls country, settled in Plttfton, and worked In the mini's of th? Pennsylvania Coal company. From IS57 to 1SSS he was in partnership with Andrew H. Itw In the mercantile busi ness, and he firm enjoyed a very large trade. Since 1SSS .Mr. McMillan has bit 11 occupied with the business of the various companies with whkh he was otllcl'ally connected. In public affairs generally he was prominent. He was a ltepubllcan in politics, and was a member of the legis lature of 1SS3, being elected to tho house from th. old Seventh Luzerne district. Other political positions held by him at various times were those of councilman In both Plttston and West Plttston, and burgess of Plttston. Mr. MfMi'llam was married to Hannah Howarth, who died seven years ago. Two daughters and one son survive Mury T.. William H. and Sarah, all of whom resU-e at tho family home. The fur.:-ral will take place from the family home tomoirow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Tta members of the fire department will meet at the call of Chairman M. J.

A large crowd was in attendance at Saturday's baso ball game, but tho League did not realize what It would had the officials done their duty. Man ager Feeney says that when he entered the grounds nearly 100 people were seated on the grand stand, and that but few tickets had been sold. Mr. Feeney has gone to considerable expense to give .the people a good team, and It seems as though his efforts deserved better treatment. The manager of the Wilkes-Barre team did not accompany his players on Saturday. Notwith standing this much courtesy was shown them by Manager Feeney, of the Plttston team, who gave them the 35 per cent, guarantee. At the Wilkes Barre game on Wednesday the mem bers of the Plttston team were obliged to pay their own fare to and from the grounds.

From tho Urooklyrt Eagle. In the annuul analysis of the statistics of the liquor traffic in Great Britain for 1891, prepared by Dr. Dawson Burns, It ap pears that Iho total retail cost of the li quor consumed In the United Kingdom In l&M was 138,737,82(1. as compared with fl.18.EG4.fl29 In 1893. The expenditure In 1894 was thus less than In 1893 by 117,001. On spirits there was a decrease of 237,757, and on wine of 1287,236, an aggregate decrease of 523,003, but on beer the Increase expenv dlture -was 408,002, making the net de crease 117,001. As the population of the United Kingdom was estimated for the middle of 1894 at 38,779,031 (Kngland, 30,060,763; Scotland, 4, 124,691; Ireland, 4,593,677), the average ex penditure per heed of the whole population was 3 lis dW, or for each family of five persons 17 17s 8Hd. In 1893 the figures were respectively 3 12s 8d and U Is td. There was thus no decreased expenditure in 1894 comparable to that of 1893, which ex ceeded 2,000,000. In. England the average consumption per head was .88 gallon spir its, 31.1 gallons bear, 37 gallons wins and .40 gallons British wines, etc. In Bcotland, 1.68 gallons spirits, 13.7 gallons beer, .34 gallons wine and .12 gallons miscellaneous. In Ireland, 1.03 gallons spirits, 10.4 gallons beer, .30 gallons wine, ,11 gallons miscel laneous; u The amount of money expended In the United Kingdom on Intoxicating liquors since the opening of this century would, says Dr. Burns, present a total bewilder ing rather than Instructive, but the ac count of the British nation with the li quor traffic during the last ten years will b more capable ot comprehension. The llgures are: 1885-94, Inclusive, H,l2t,l04lW, or Ualley, 35 te Ud per head ot the population. Tho average expenditure for each of the ten years has seen 132.100. 600, the average amount per head expenditure, a 10s S-lCd. We have retained tho amounts In pounds, shillings and ptaos. On the basis of 34.S4 to the pound the figures will be easy re ducible. ... F0S OCEAN TRAVELERS. Some Valuable .Sacgesttoas How to ITeveat and How to Alleviate the Unde sirable Af oalcs of "Mai do Mer," Other wise Seaalekaess. Although It Is probable (that few read ers ot The Tribune will this year cross the ocean, there are points In a recent Chicago Record article treating of the prevention and cure of seasickness that are worthy of reproduction. It is, for example, pointed out that the two conditions most necessary to allay what the doctors call "naupauhla" are warmth and fresh air, and warmth is dilllcult to obtain In damp sheets. If one can afford the expense, a pair of silk sheets, with pillow case to match, are causes ot Infinite comfont In sea sickness. To the casual ear silk sheets has a sound ot luxury, but In reality they are not matters of such great Importance after all. They should be manufac tured of India (not China) silk, which costs about 60 or 70 cents a yard. Two yards and a quarter Is quite sufficient length and for the narrow berth two breadths will make a sheet of ample width. Two yards more will make a pillow slip. That Is to say, eleven yards of silk at 70 cents a yard) 37.70. Nmt a great sum to pay for a great comfort and a matter affecting the health. The more they are washed the pleasanter they are to the touch, and rolled up tightly occupy but a tiny corner of the steamer (trunk. Deftly slipped over the llncni of the bed they afford to the wretched sufferer a most inviting nest and will prevent any chill or dangerous lowering of the temperature. If these are Impossible a silk night gown. If really long and ample, will go tar Howard filling their place, and In any ever.t the most economical can pro vide themselves with a hot water bot tleone of the sort which has an out side cover of lamb's fleece and a tightly screwed mouth ithat does not leak. When driven to bed by mal de mer make the stewardess All this with very hot water (the fleece cover prevents any danger of blisters) and fight the cold moisture of the sheo:s with artificial heat. Very frequently a very hot bot tle placed at the feet, or upon the stomach, will greatly mitigate one's misery and In all cases (the warmth Is comforting and healthful. Purifying the Air. The other great trial of the sick trav eler confined below Is the aforemen tioned deprivation of fresh air. It is all very well for those who can robuBtly defy the terrors of ithe sea to Insist upon the seasick coming above Into the fresh wind. The wind is very reviving, mo doubt, but those in the throes of naupathla are In no state to be out of bed, and they are concerned most with remedies that will reach them it bed and put them In a state in which they will have strength enough to go above for air. The best agent at this atage is a big bottle ot aromatic lavender salts. Provide one of the ample, wide mouthed bottles, and when the air be low becomes close and lifeless open and let It stand so In the room for an hour or more. The effect la marvelous, and even the sensitive nostrils of the seasick sufferer can stand the clean, volatile odor of the lavender salts when any other perfume whatever would In evitably produce a fresh crisis of nausea. Repeat this as many times as Is necessary. The bottle will keep its po tency throughout a whole voyage. Many travelers who manage to keep well and on deck during the day pass very qualmish and uncomfortable nights when shut away down below, deprived of air. All such will derive great comfort from this use of the salts in their state-room. Don't Eat Too Much' A great mistake and one from which delicate travelers suffer frequently Is tho ignorant conviction of many well meaning persons that the continual pouring of tea, soup and the like down the unlucky throats of those who are seasick will Improve their condition or lessen their mUery. Nothing can be further from the truth or further from real kindness. Except in the stage of recovery, when the patient begins to feel an appetite once more, food, and particularly liquid food, should be avoided. One experienced traveler, who suffers from the "sorrows of the sea," always goes immediately to bed upon going aboard. This Is a wise precaution, be cause usua4ly the work of packing and preparing for the voyage has produced nervousness and fatigue, the two most actively predisposing causes of mal de mer. This sensible traveler, It seems, retires at once, armed with a hot-water bottle, and passes the first few hours In complete relaxation and repose, sleeping as much as possible, Indifferent to every one and everything and re fusing to exert herself In any way. If the water Is reasonably calm and she feels no premonitory qualms she makes a light first tral of cold meat and a dry biscuit. By preference, If ob tainable, the meat Is the dry breast of chicken or turkey and Is eaten with a plentiful allowance of salt, but no but ter, no gravy, no tea and only the small est sip of water. By following . this regimen she may, if the voyage Is smooth, escape the enemy altogether, and after the first twenty-four hours has elapsed can return to her, ordinary menu. Braadled Ise and Beef Tea. In cases of very violent seasickness, where tho system becomes exhausted by the violence of the trouble and long forced fasting, one of the best restora tives to to pour upon a glass of finely crushed Ice two or three tablespoon fuli ot brandy or whiskey and slowly eat tho brandled Ice, spoonful by spoon ful. This very often . settles and strengthens the stomach and produces a return of appetite. For thin stage beef tea la some tiroes the food most craved and carries forward the prog ress toward recovery rapidly, n to not, however, always easy to procure, more especially of the sort that la nourishing and relished. Perhaps the best way of obtaining this Is to go to the caterer or confec tioner before leaving noma and get from him some well-sealed Jars of pure beef Jelly of the sort no keeps on hand to melt into bouillon and clear soups. This will keep' throughout a voyage and ho only to be melted to make a pure, ' clear and nourishing soup, wtilch will rebuild the strength rapidly and pre pare tho way for more solid diet? auil another, preparation, to be made by the delicate voyager for the woes to come, should take the shape ot a small rubber-corked bottle of house hold ammonia. Any one who has ever been seasick will remember that one of tho most painful phases of that dis tressing complaint is tho very ecstasy of languor and feebleness that seises upon one when struggling up from the hated berth and endeavoring to sum mon strength and courage to make a toilet and seek the air. One feels sticky and frowzy, and yet the water seems uninviting and cheerless. The best way to overcome) this is to fill the basin with warm water, add a tables poonful of ammonia, and sponge one's self from head to foot. Of course great care must bo taken In using ammonia and water near the eyes, but bathing one's face this way and as much of the body as the strength will permit will leave a most Invigorating and refreshing ef fect, it is well after doing this to use the towel freely and thoroughly and wrap up warmly before going into the outer air to avoid the chance of cold. Science has found several harmless and very helpful palliatives forseaslck ness in the new sedatives, such as bro mide, sulfonal and phenacetlne, but It Is well to consult a physician as to the proper doses of these. IT ENDED AS USUAL. A colored man was standing with his back to a wall on drat lot avenue, near lieaublen street, a night or two ago, when a second of the same complexion camo along and exclaimed: "Ho! dat's yo' am Itl Ize been wantln' to see yo' fur a good while. Wha 'bout dot fo' dollars yo' owe me?" "Fo' dollars?" queried the other. "Yes, sah fo' dollars. Yo' has owed me dat money sense las' full. Am yo' gwlne to pay or git licked?" "I owes yo" fo' dollnrs, does I?" "Of co'se yo' does! What yo' keep axln" me If yo' owes me fo' dollars for?" "If I owes yo' fo' dollars I kin pay it." "When?" "Itlght off now, sah! Jss git mo out de change fur a llfty-dollar bill. Can't no man say I owes him fo' dollars longer dan I kin git Into my pocket! Out wld dot change!" "Has yo' got a $50 bill?" "Whar's dat change?" "Show mo dat bill!" 1 "flhow mo dat change!" "Hu! nigger, donn' yo' fool wld cog wheels!" "t'oon, doan' yo' monkey wld buzzsaws!" "Hu!" "Hu!" And then they breath ?d hard and glared at each other nnd bexun backing off, and sixty seconds later dnrknes hid them nnd the angel of peace smiled as before. De troit Free Press. AT THE POST-OFFICE. The other day a citizen railed at the stamp window of the postolllce nnd laid two pennies oro tho shelf. The clerk ktokfd at him for ten seconds and then queried: "Two ones?" "No, of course not! When a man lays down two cents he wants a two-cent stamp, of course." "Not always." "But that's the Inference. After this, when you see two pennies down here you can Infer that a two-cent Is wanted." Next day the same man called and put down a bill, and before he could speak tho clerk shoved It back to him with the re mark: "The government doesn't Issue any." "Any what?" "Any thousand-cent stamps. Sorry 1 can't accommodate you." "Who asked you for a thousand-cent stamp?" "You did. Whenever a man lays down a $10 bill the Inference Is that ho wants one of those stamps, but, as I said, they are not Issued." The man picked up his bill nnd walked out with a red face, but five minutes later returned and dropped a cigar on the shelf and good-naturedly queried: "And what do you infer from that?" "Smoke shake!" replied the clerk, and the two became friends. Boston Post. 124-126 Wyoming Avenue, Will offer special bargains for Monday and the balance of the week.
