O'Neill, of Carbon dale, will ibe chairman of the Dem ocratic county committee, John J. Gaff tiey, of the West Side, will be secre tary, and Ohurlea Schadt, of the South Side, treosurer. Thla was the understanding reached last tilght after three days' delibera tion and consultation. This Is not of ficial, 'but merely a forecast, which can 'be relied upon, however, as it comes from a highly authorattve source. The two candidate. Dr. J. S. Keltey and A. B. Dunning, will meet this after noon with ex-Sheriff Fahey, chairman of the convention, to organise the coun ty committee. OWoll, Gaffney and Sdhadt will undoubtedly be chosen for the three offices in the committee; in fact, they have already been chosen, and today's meeting will be no more than a formal iprooeeillng for the of ficial contlrmatlon of the three officials already agreed upon. It was expected ithot ithe committee would be selected test night, but owing to the Inability of Coroner Kelley to at tend, because of the 'Roesler Inquest, postponement was had until today. 'Mr. O'iNell was Democratic chairman In the county campaign several years ago. BACK FROM READING. Nay Aug llos. Company and Lawrence Band Return to th. City.

MUST COMPLY WITH THE RULES That Was ths Dselslon th. Board Arrived t Yesterday-Patients Will Bs He . Mlvcd from th. Carbondale District-Going to th. Convention. Mrs. W. B. Duggan came In for a hare of attention at the meeting of the poor board yesterday afternoon. She works in conjunction with the child saving committee of the Board of As sociated Charities, and a number of young ones taken from worthless and dissolute parents have 'been placed In the Home for the Friendless by her. Invariably this lias 'been done without first obtaining the consent of poor di rector of the district or securing a poor board order. Yesterday on official of the Home for the Friendless, with a bill for the board of some' of these children, appeared be fore the poor directors and when it was 'learned that no order had accom panied the children the members of the board expressed ithemeelves as opposed to the present practice. They are will ing to assist In the work of child-saving by paying for the keeping of the little ones at a suitable Institution, but InsU't that the work shall 'be done in ayifn lar way. In accordance with the rules of the board. The ibllls presented weiu paiid, but the manager of the home were directed to hereafter tnslut on an ordVr accompanying each child, and on motion of Mrs. Frances H. &wnn it was ordered that hereafter Mrs. Dutfgan se cure an order before taking a child to any Institution as a charge on the Scranton oor district. ' To .Move Against Delinquents. Superintendent Beomer, In his report, told the directors .there was $-.740 due the district by committees, guardians and parents of Insane patients at the homo, a portion of which he thought waa collectable. He advised that some thing be done 1n the matter at once, as the accounts are 'being carried on the 'books at the Ihome and they are anx ious to dispose of them In some way that they may know who the Indigent insane are. This Is an Important mat ter now that the state pays a portion of the expense of keeping hat class of Insane patients. The finance commlt were directed to take nteps to secure settlements from the delinquents. Mrs. Brlilffe Gurryi an old lady 70 years of age, who resides at 2006 Lu erne street, came (before the board and asked for outdoor relief. J-the Uvea alone, and the members of the board decided that It would be best tO' send her to the .Hillside Home. When she was informed of this fact she stoutly refused to go. "Into that place I'll never put my head," she told President LanitFtafT, and no amount of talk could change her determination. three Children Indentured. Harry Scutt'end 'Sadie and James Winkler were Indentured to the Homo for the Friendless by the board. Bids were received for the erection of a time detector at the Hillside Home from the Scranton Supply and 'Machinery company and the American Watch man's Time Detector company. The bid of the latter, $180, was the lowest and 'the board accepted it. The report of Treasurer D. M. Jons showed that he reclved $12,903,87 from ex-Treaaurer T. 'H. Jones; $26,100 from Collector Arja Williams; from F. L. Wormser, $6.48; George W. Beemer, superintendent, $1,212.59; total, $40,212. 94. Orders were paid and cancelled amounting to $38,318.26, leaving a bal ance tin his hands of $1,924.68. Orders are held by the Merchants and (Mechan ics' bank for $16,639.18. iDr. W. D. Donne, one of the outdoor physicians, reported 101 visits during the month of September, gave sixty seven prescriptions. He attended at two births, and there were two deaths among the patients he attended. Dr. W. A. Paine made elghty-slx visits to charges of the 'board, and made three insane examinations. .Dr. J. K. Murphy made twenty-five visits and examined one insane patient. The report of Benjamin F. Evans, the resident physician at the home showed that during .September he at tended seventy-four sane and fifty three insane patients. The number of patients In asylum on Sept. 1 was 137; (luring the month six persons were received and two were discharged, leaving the total number on Oct. 1 In the asylum, 141. Superintendent George W. Beemer's report showed that nine persons were admitted to the home In September, two died, one was born and eleven dis charged. The number now in the alms house its 160, thirty-five of whom are females and 125 males. Will Heoalve Non-Rcsldents. Secretary J,ynett made a statement to the board to the efTect that the secre tary of the Carbondale poor board had called upon him with a view to ascer taining if the Scranton poor district would ibe willing to accept Insane per son from Carbondale at .Its asylum. Danville is overcrowded and none can be received at that place, therefore they ar now compelled to take thorn to Wernersvllle asylum, which entails much expense. 'Mr. Gibbons thought It would be a graceful act to -assist the Carb'.ndale board and receive Its pa tients. He believes that It Is only a question of time until ours will be a state asylum. Superintendent .Beemer, In response to the questions of memibers, said there was room for additional patients at the Hillside asylum. It was decided to receive the Carbondale patients pro vided the board of that city gave a bond for their maintenance and also agrees to remove them if at any time the asylum became so crowded as to make such a step necessary. Coming state Convention. Secretary Lynett read a cordial lnyl tatlon to the members and officers of the board to attend the twenty-first annual meeting of the association of the poor and charities of Pennsylvania In Philadelphia on Oct. 15, 16 and 17. It was decided that members and offi cers of the local board ehould attend the convention. Mr. Gibbons wanted to have Rev. Rogers Israel, who takes a deep Interest in the local charities, go to the convention as the guest of the board, but Attorney 'Scragg decided they had no legal right to pay the ex penses of any one save officers and members of the board. Attorney John F. Scragg will reply to the address of welcome at the conven tion In behalf of the visitors, and Mrs. Frances B. Bwan will read a paper on "What Is Charity?" Mr. Put-cell's new Turklsi and Russian baths continue to .be popular with th. publlo and are the favorite resort of the best people of the city.

In the Evangelical church on Canouse avenue last nlghjt on audience which filled the small auditorium to the doors witnessed the entertainment under the auspices of the Green Uldffe Women's Christian Temperance union. A prominent feature of the pro gramme of recitation and song was a brief 'but logical temperance address by Aaron V. Bower. He contended that the liquor drinker cannot be cor rected throush arguments of religion, morality or law, hut that work along economic lines will accomplish the end In view. Drinkers, he said, will feel in the heart any argument chawing that their habit affects -unfavorably their chancta of financial succeps or mercan tile advancement, and work along this line was what Mr. Bower advocated. Among the many meritorious enter tainment numbers were a solo by M.iss Edth Jones, a recitation by Master Bertie Langhaim, a recitation by Pro fessor Arthur Darsey and a duet by Miss Suydam and Mitts Jones. The Scranton llnsiness College Messrs, Buck & Whltmore are now be ginning to rfap some reward for the many years of hard, conscientious and honest work they have clone In their chosen line in this city.

Sleeps Soundly and Peacefully Every Night He Lives. Bleep is one of the things that cannot be put oft from might 'to night. The punishment for sleeplessness Is worse .than pain. It means a shattered mind. It often happens that a sudden stress of wurk or anxiety robs one of the right's rest. The effect Is soon appar ent In the languor, headaches and llst lessness that ensue. If rapid and abundant means are em ployed to repair the exhausted parts the nerves regain their elasticity. But If an unnatural privation of sleep is carried beyond the stretching power of the brain the whole nervoua system be comes undone, and prostration results.

Mr. Burgheim writes: "The following statement may be of Interest. I have been sufferlnir from sleeplessness, Insomnia, for many years, ami although I have tried almost every thing to got cured, consulted the best physicians, and even going several times to 'Europe, everything was in vain. "I d"d not have a night's rest for al most six years, that Is to ray, I could not sleep for two 'hours In succession In a single night: you can easily imagine what the effect on me had boon. "After spending a fortune in trying for relief I had given up almost all hoipe, and iwhr-n I first read about Paine's celery compound I did not have much faith In anything. But sifter hav ing used so ninny remedies and con sulted so many physicians tn this coun try and Abroad I felt like giving the compound a trial. The resuM waa truly wonderful. "The very flrrt night about six months ago that I tried Paine's celery compound you can Imagine my Joy When I found that I had slept six hours In succession, a thins that I had not been blessed with for en many years. I continued the use for over three months with the same happy result, and Although I was fearful lest the malady would come back on me. I can now say that although I have not taken the compound for miontlis I do sleep every night peacefully and without In terruption. "You can easily imagine what this means for a man who works fourteen hours every day In the year and has charge of two large newspapers. 4 con sider my case a most remarkable one nnd I should be Rind if this statement should ibe the means of helping others who havo suffered like I in the same untold agonies, and for this reason I give you full permission to make use of this statement in any way you choose," Y.
