AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Those Who Will Conduct the Coming
Republican Campaign.
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

, 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

nue tobacconists.

FAUST AT THE ACADEMY.
Was Produced llcforo a I.urgo Auuicnco
l ast Nlaht.
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.

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.

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. '

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.

walls and staining the woodwork In the
rooms on the third floor, which will
contain the educational classes. Is com
pleted, ns Is the same work In the re
ception room, parlors,. olllce lobby and
library on the second floor.
(rent Changes Have Taken I'lnec.
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. John Raymond,
at one time a resident of Scranton, and
a successful coal operator.
As to the Future.
Mrs. Hackley desires to see the ex
periment tried 'before providing for a
more extended nnd perfectly equipped
school, ond much of Its future will de
pend on the success of the first year's
work.
Ten Instructors have already been
engaged, ns follows: Henry II. Bur

A PATHETIC INCIDENT.
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.

PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND
An Absolute Cure for the, Worst
Cases of Rheumatism.
The Plain Language of Mr. Oscar
Pike The Great 3 tt of All Remedies
Accomplishes His Cure After Many
Months of Weakness and Suffering.
No Tedious Waiting for Improve
ment. 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!"

THAT NEW TAX BOARD.
Ordinance Still Awaits the Signature of
Mnvor Council.
Mayor Connell did not yesterday sign
the board of revision nnd appeal ordin
ance which was delivered by City Clerk
Lavelle. The mayor has not Intimated
definitely what disposition he will make
of the measure, but It Is generally be
lieved he will sign It.
The board will virtually control the
present board of assessors and wlli
hold the hitter's books. The nrosnec
tlve new body's work will require pos
sibly four months of the year, which
has suggested In certain quarters the
Idea of reducing the assessors' salaries.
