ALL ARE REPRESENTATIVE MEN At Saturday's Meeting a General Coonty Committee Will Be NumeJ-Prepara-' tlona Democrats and Prohibi tionists Are Making. Candidates Kdmund A. Hartl and Dr. S. P. Longstreet, the nominees of the recent Republican county convention, met with Major Akerly. of South Ab InRton, chairman of the convention, at the rooms of the Central Uepublican club yesterday and named an execu tive committee thut will conduct the approaching rnmpulpn. Last Saturday the candidates anil Major Akerly named Clerk of the Courts John H. Thomas as chairman of the county committee; James Wat klna, of Taylor, secretary, nnd ex-Lieutenant Governor I. A. Watres, treas urer. These gentlemen were present nt yesterday's meetlns when the following- were named as nn executive com mittee: K. A. Jones, Archbuld; James Smith, Ttlakely; Charles Savage, Dun more; Major Akerly, South Abington; Mr. Depew. .Moscow; Dr. Houser, Tay lor; J. 1. Lloyd, West Scranton: Will lam Council, central city; Charles N fills. South Scranton. The meeting was very harmonious and enthusiastic unit reports received Indicated that a large Republican vote will be cust In this county at the November election. On Saturday the officers and members of the executive committee will hold their llrst meeting In the Central Republican club rooms, nt which the members of the executive committee will suggest names of men to make up the general county commit tee, which will consist of a representa tive from the various minor municipal divisions of the county. After this committee Is named the actual work of the campaign will be gin. N'o plans have as yet been formu lated for the cumins battle, but the character of the men selected as olll cers am) members of the executive com mittee insures a clean but aggressive battle. The Democratic Convention. Rnt little Interest Is shown In the Democratic primaries which occur throughout the county Saturday to elect delegates to next Tuesday's con vention. The apathy thut has seized the rank and file of the Democratic party Is, causing many of the leaders no little annoyance and concern, and they are trying to devise somo coup that will enthuse the members of the party and In part, at least, reknit Its numerous elements. There are alto gether ton many concealed hatchets at present within the party limits, a well known Democrat informed a Tribune reporter last night. Dr. J. A. Kelley nnd Dr. P. TV. Me Andrew are making n nuiet hunt for delegates, and the friends of the latter assert that he will develop a strength in the convention which will astound the friends of the present coroner. They hint at powerful Influence that will be exerted In Dr. McAndrew's be half, and say he has the Inside track, but refuse to be specific In any of their statements. "John K. Roche will be a candidate to succeed himself as chairman of the Democratic county committee," said n well-Informed member of that party last night In discussing the political situation. "I believe he Is the best man we have for the position, but there are many men, prominent In the affairs of the party, who do not want to see him again at the helm. They fear he Is becoming too potent In the party man agement, and that the time has come to wing his upward flight. If Mr. Roche is the chairman of the next Dem ocratic county committee his path will not lie one of rosos; of that I am as sured." Prohibitionists at Work. Tallin Morgan and others prominent In the local councils of the Prohibition party are working for the success of next Saturday's mass convention of the Prohibition party of the county to be held In this city, at which candidates for county ofllces will be chosen. Th fact 'that there Is v?ry little of an Increase year toy year In the num ber of votes cast for the Prohibition party does not seem to greatly dampen the ardor of the third party men. In conversation with Tallle Morgan yes terday a Tribune reporter asked him what. In his opinion, the outlook for Prohibition was. "If I did not firmly believe that Pro hibition Is going to win this nation, I would never write another line In Its advocacy," solemnly replied Mr. Mor gan. "It Is going to win as certain as the abolition of stnvery won. All that Is needed Is a square nntlonul fight on the question, and not by localities, so that fhw liquor men cannot concen trate th-lr forces In one state or In one county. The old abolition party forced the antl-slavory question to the front, and politicians tried every device In the world o rave the na tion with slavery, 'but K could not be done. Keeping Question to tho Front. "The Prohibition party by its per sistant voting Is keeping the question of tho saloon at tho front, and the lo-cnl-oftlon 'Sunday-closing, government corrtrol. high-license make-shifts of the politicians In the Republican and Dem ocratic parties will not down the renl Issue. It Is an) apnlling thing to think that It Is within the power of the four million voting church members of this nation to destroy this traffic In a year, and that they will not do It. Christian men vinte the same ticket, side by sid.-y won inn saioonKccpcrs. ' "Churches ihihb resolutions for Pro hibition and then vote for the license system. Christian men pray for the overthrow the saloon, .and then go to the polls and vote to keep the sa loons here. To say that a f'rnhlbltlon Ists throws away his vote Is rank non sense. Suppose the question of open ing the saloons on Sunday Is submitted to the voters of New York city, and two-thirds of the voters vote In favor of Sunday opening, will those who vote against theiSundny saloon throw awny their vote? Would they go over to the majority at the next election? Not a lilt of It. As to Their Honesty. "Then suppose certain clergymen find' laymen who voted for the opening of the saloons on 'Holiday would say that they were Just as good Sunday closing men as those who voted that way what think you would be thought of the honesty of such people? Yet you can hear people who vote with the old parties for the -license svslem say that they are Just as good Prohibition ists ait those who vote for Prohibition. Tho Prohibition party Is eternally right and the principle Is bound to win. I have no light with the saloonkeeper. He Is engaged In a legal business, for which 1 privilege he has divided' tils profits from the sale of whisky with Wie taxpayers. - v JThe saloonkeeper is no worse than the license, and the license Is no worse than the license law. and the license law Is no worse than the political party that enacted It, and- the party Is no worse than the voter be he deacon or distiller, bishop or lirewer that voted for the party. I expect to see the dny When the last legalized saloon li for ever banished from the face of this land." , . ' ' , I NORTH END WEDDING. . Miss Gertrude MeEsehen Married to , , Mlohaet II. IHgRlns. Miss Gertrude McEachen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel K. McEachen, of SOS Oak street, was married yester day to Michael H. Higglns, of the cen tral city. The ceremony was performed In the' morning in the Church of the Holy Rosary by the assistant rector, Hev. 3. i. fl'Toole. The event was wit nessed by many friends and relatives. The bridal party was preceded to the altar by two flower girls, Katie May (Julnnan. of Uswego, and Gertrude Hendricks, of Oil City. The brldesmuid was Miss Jennie White, of this city, and the best man was A. P. Curran. The ushers were J. K. Schlager, J. J. Loftns. H. E. Curran. W. H. Coyne. P. O'Malley and Dr. J. J. Barrett. The wedding marches were played on the organ by Miss Ltbble Neary, It. J. ltauer assisting on the violin. A dinner was served and reception held at the bride's homo immediately following tha ceremony. Music was furnished by ltauer and Huntington was the caterer. At 6 o'clock Mr. nnd Mrs. Higglns left for a two weeks' tour. On their return they will live at 511 Qulncy avenue. Mrs. Higglns Is a popular North K'nd young htdy and her husband is a traveling salesman for Short & Flynn, the Lackawanna ave nue tobacconists.

Two versions of Goethe's Immortal "Kaust" have been seen on the local stage this week. Gounod's operatic version was sung Monday night, nnd last night the ditamatlc story by Lewis Morrison received a presentation ut the Academy of Musiic by Mr. Morrison and his company before a large audience. Doth opera and drama differ from (loolhe's tale In many essentials, but the dramatic version Is the most wide ly divergent. Mr. Morrison has translated nnd In terpreted the lines of the German Shakesptare in a free manner, and evolved a story differing from the original In some of the essentials, but which Is full of dramatic action and beautiful stage pictures. Mr. Morri son is an ni'tlst In 'the matter of stager craft, ns the perfect manner In which "Faust" Is given shows. The Hroeken scene and the Apotheasls with which the drama terminates are especially effective, and reveal the perfection to which the stage artist has brought his work, Mr. Morrison's Mephlsto is a genial fellow withal, save when giving expression to the fiendish pur poses to which he had devoted himself entirely. Then he became cold, cruel and cynical, but In his lighter moments was sly nnd Insinuat ing with a strong predlllctlon for a quiet Joke, as shown In Ills Interview with Dame Mai'tha. He received good support from the members of his com pany. Edward Klsner was a hand some Faust, and recited 'his lines with great earnestness and usually with appropriate feeling. Miss Florence Roberts made one of the sweetest Marguerites ever seen In this city, but hardly equals In dramatic ability some of the young women who have been seen 'in that role heretofore with Mr. Morrison. "Kaust" will be repeated tonight at the Academy. . SUED FOR $25,500. Lackawanna Valley Rapid Transit Com pany Is the Defendant. Miss Lizzie C.llmartln, a prominent young lady of Carbondale, was a" pas senger on one of tho Lackawanna Valley Rapid Transit company's cars a few months ago; the car was wrecked and she was Injured on the foot so se- rlously that amputation had to be re sorted to. She was for a long time confined In the Kmergeney hospital, Carbondale. Yesterday her attorneys, James J. O'Neil and O'Rrlen and Kelley, began a trespass suit against ithe Street Rail way company, and allege damages In the sum of iii'i.OOu. Negligence of the company through Its employes Is charged. SHE LOST NO TIME. Women Applies for Ulvorco tho Samo Day Her Husband Drove Her Out. Mrs. Jemima Josephine Robblns, rep resented by Attorneys Hulsla-nder & Vosburg, began a divorce proceedings against her husband, Zara A. Robblns. She was married In June 1. 1S71, and lived with him until yesterday morn ing. They had a dispute and t ended in a flare-up. Mrs. Robblns left the house, and went to her lawyers. Although she abided at home until yesterday, she says that the culmination of all their troubles came and she could no longer stand him. Cruelty Is the essential ground In which she asks separation from her husband. ' GOING LIKE HOT CAKES. . Iluriy and Decide Which Lot You Shall Take Before Your Choice Uoes to An other.

COST OP THE IMPROVEMENTS Altogether Six Thousand Dollars Will Do Expended in Remodelling tha Build Ing and Gymnasium-Institute Will Hold Its First Session Oct. 7, The work of rennovatlng and refln Irhlng ithe Interior of the Young Men's Christian association building, on Wyoming avenue, preparatory to tho opening of the John Raymond Institute on Oct. 7, is going rapidly forward. When the work Is llnlshed about Sti.000 will have been expended, and whether or nut this sum Is being well spent can best be determined by a personal visit U'lid Inspection. Something has been written and sold In a general way uhout the proposed working of the Institute and the umount of repairs and detail it would entail, 'but the extent of the undertak ing Is best shown by the actual prep aration in progress. The fourth uinl upper floor of tho building, which, for lack of funds, had been allowed to remain as little more than a dismal garret, is being celled und floored and arranged for a large workshop, which will contain machin ery -und appliances necessary to prac tical, manual tiii-tnietlon In curpentry. electricity, iilgn painting, pnttern mak ing, decorating and plumbing.

The rennovatlon In the lower hallway Is not quite finished, but on reaching the top of the main stairway, leading from the street, the visitor cannot help but be Impressed with the change that hns taken place. The Hour has been laid with linoleum of the first quality, and the walls haw been treated with a light effect of tint and fresco, which gives the whole Interior a cheery and comfortable appearance, entirely at variance with its former condition. Down In the gymnasium the floor has been raised flghteen Inches above the cemented bottom, which extends be neath that part of the building, thus Insuring a large air-space for a check against dampness. The floor Is of hard maple. This work, and that of over hauling nnd repairing the apparatus, was performed before the departure of Professor Weston, the late physical di rector, for Rochester. The bulk of this extensive Improve ment will be met by the $10,000 gift of Mrs. Frances A. llackley, and the In come of the tSi'.OuO from the same donor will be applied toward the maintenance of the manual training school named in ihonor of her father.

Editor of The Tribune. Sir: An incident came to my notice Wednesday in Taylor which deserves de scription In print. John F had 'been a blacksmith all his life time, but was re duced to such poverty by his old age that he and Ids wife lived in a single room and were often in great straits. On Wednes day morning they hud no food In tho house and no menus of procuring any. Ko Jnnh K lay down In bed to try and sleep awuy. If possible, the sinking puin of hunger. But his wife Sarah, said lo him: "John, my dear man, It's of no use lay ing there vexing over It: go over across the street to Mr. G , the baker, a'nd see if he'll trust you with a loaf of bread un til tomorrow." The old man went. He told the baker that he had no money, hut if he would trust him, he would pay for the loaf as soon us he had tho first S cnls. The baker being a hard-hearted man. hesi tated, whether he would or not, and while he was considering the matter a stranger entered the baker shop. Old John, of course, quietly stepped aside while tle gentlemun was being served, lie bought a barrel of Hour and five loaves of bread, and turning around to old John, said: "There, my good man, take these home to your wife." John was much astonished, and received tho charitable gifts with tears running down his cheeks. He thanked the stranger and had them curried home. I could not discover who the gentleman was for no one had seen hlni before; he was u per fect stranger to the people of Taylor, and especially to such a character us the baker, yet he knew all in town. While the old man whs on his way home, ward from the baker shop one of the tail ors In town asked him to step inside his store. "I have A nice suit of clothes to mnke, John," he said, "for a man whose measure I don't know anything about; but 1 am sure what will lit you will tit him; will you let me measure you?" "Many a time." replied old John, "I have been measured for myself; but this Is the first time for another person." "Well, to tell you tho truth. John," said the tailor, "the suit of clothes Is for you." Somo people In town thought It a miracle; others thought one of his sons out west was trying to play a trick or two on his father, lint old John vows that It was the work of Providence. John will not he convinced that It was merely a co Incidence. Daniel E. Gregory. Scranton, Sept. 20. I!KOAI) SMILES. "You hnve taken the wrong train, mnilain," said the conductor.

Taine's celery compound Is the one itnown i.pfcoio for mo curs of rhcuma liiai. And It does not need a tedious trial to prove It. 'l no effect of this best of remedies is straightway felt. Not a week goes by before the pains of ruciimati.sm diminish. Thousands of men and women have told of tne days und nights of pain and leeUencss exchanged in u. few weeks for activity and strength. I'ulnc's celery compound has won the reputation of being the remedy "that makes people well." Its good works extend from Uivkuii to Maine. In every state in the liiiloii there has been piled up In the newspapers and medical Journals a tn.niinJous umuunt of In disputable evidence of he curutive power or I'ulnc's celery compound over all forms of nervous debility und dis eases of the blood. It cures alter na ture's plan by affording nutrition for every pin t or the body, overhauling the worn-out ti.hues und supplying new 'inuin und nerve material, sending pure blood through the veins, invigorating the whole system, and removing the cause of dise ase. Oscar Pike, a well-known resident of Princeton. Maine, recently sent the following unsolicited letter to the pro prietors of this wonderful remedy: "Two years ago I was taken sick with what the doctors called tTie grip. I was Improving when I took on a vio lent cobl and chill. Then rheumatism set In. llrst In tho Joints of my should ers, then down my hnnds and arms, then all over. Feet, hands and legs swelled. I could not put my hand to my head: could not throw the clothes off from me; could not dress or undress myself, nor get out of my chair with out help. For a year and a half I tried all kinds of medicines and sarsaparll las, with little or no relief. I was 73 years old. Some one told me to try Palnn's celery compound. After I had taken three bottles I found a marked Improvement. I have now taken twelve bottles, and the result Is I eat and sleep well, do my own work, and go about as usual, getting In and out of my carriage without help. I have been tempted to put an article In the local paper for the 'benefit of those that are afflicted ns I have been." Mr. Pike Is well-known In his local ity. He Is the founder and president of the North Washington Agricultural so ciety and Trotting association. When he goes for his mall, he says, people ask him what he has been doing that he Is Improving so of late, and he An swers, as do thousands of others throughout the "country: "Palne's celery compound has made me well!"
