Young Mea'a Political Club Organized In the Twentieth : Ward nrfleera That Have Been Chosen-Other New The Young Men's Political club is the name of an organization just banded together, comprising a number of the aspiring citizens of the Twentieth ward. James J. Brady Is president: Patrick Flaherty, vice-president; James J. Tou hil, treasurer, and James Herty, secre tary. The aim and object of the club is to wield an influence in' the coming spring election and to have a say about who Is to be alderman, councilman and school controller. The young men are energetic and ac tive; they represent probably forty other young men equally as aggressive and can be relied upon to niuke their mark In the politics or the ward. They will meet after the holidays to formu late a plan of campaign. - Foot Ball at Mooslo. The Juvenile foot ball club of the Twentieth ward Journeyed to Moosio yesterday afternoon and contested on the gridiron with an eleven from that place. The Juveniles are a sturdy lot of young fellows under eighteen years of age and they had no trouble In de feating their competitors from the low er end of the county. . The victory was a shut-out, the score resulting 12 to 0 In the South Side young men's favor. About Ave hundred persons from here went down to cheer their favorites on to victory. The street cars were so crowded with enthusiasts that as many as two dozen were perched on the roof of every car coming from Mooslc be tween 6 and 6 o'clock in the evening. Marriage at Greenwood. i This evening a prominent young couple of Greenwood wilt be united In matrimony. George B. W. Doud will be the groom and his bride-elect Is Miss Ann Eliza Rawson.

Mr. Lindamuth, pastor of the Moosic Presbyterian church. It will take place at 8 o'clock. . Shorter Paragraphs of News. The social of the Big Five at Germa nla hall yesterday afternoon and even ing was a successful affair. Tonight will witness the contest for the nomination of officers of the Scrnn ton Athletic club. A year ago the same rivalry existed and about a half dozen cabs wore out bringing members from their homes on account of the severity of the weather. It is rumored that the South steol mill will resume operations the second week of January. IS POSTP0NEBONI5 WEEK. Superior Conn Will Not Organize In This City Until Jan. 13. It was the original Intention to have the superior court organize in this city in the Federal court building on Jan uary 6, but It has been decided by the JudgeB to postpone the event one week until January 13. As the list for the coming term Is not very large the length of the term has also been cut down from three to two weeks. Judge Rice will continue to be the president Judge of the new court. The act of assembly creating the court pro vided that the judges after election should draw lots and In that way de cide who would be the president judge. This has been done and the honor has fallen to Judge Itlce, of Wllkes-Barre, who was named as president Judge by Governor Hastings when he made his appointments Immediately after the creation of the court. At the coming term a number of cases which were not reached at the recent sitting in Philadelphia will come up for a hearing, having been certified to this district. The new court will relieve the su preme court of a great deal of the busi ness that has In the past encumbered that calendar. One of the members of the Lackawanna bar recently went through a volume of supreme court reports and found that about one-half of the cases there reported came under the Jurisdiction of the new court. If that ratio holds good with reference to all the cases that are carried up to the higher court the new branch of the state Judiciary will have plenty of work to do. WAYLAID AND BEATEN. Russians Set t'pon One of Their Own Countrymen. John Kadletls, a Russian, whose resi dence is at the High Works, was re ceived at the Lackawanna hospital about midnight. He had live deep gashes In his head and was otherwise badly battered. He claimed to have been waylaid and beaten by enemies among his com patriots as he was walking home on the railroad track near Tripp's crossing. Mo attempt was made to rob him, he says, and he attributes the assault to a grudge which some of his countrymen bear him. - RHYME, QUI l AND JEST. Ills Cross.

"Have you though about doing any Christmas shopping yet?" asked Mr. Hun- nlmune. "No, dear;" was the reply, "It is a little early for such preparations, isn't It?" M'yes.

IT WAS A GREEN CHRISTMAS Weather Had the Flavor of Spring Rattier Thau Mid-Winter. CITY STREETS WERE CROWDED Day Waa Observed In a Qalet and Ra tional Manner and There Were Few Disturbances Reported-Large Con gregations in the Churches. "It doesn't seem like Christmas, at all," was heard on all sides yesterday as the speaker would contemplate the spring weather, but it was Christmas' and a right merry Christmas despite the decidedly un-Christmus like weather. That Scrantonlans did not allow the worldly side of the day to overshadow the true spirit of the occasion was evi denced by the crowded church audi toriums throughout the city. Every where the special Christmas services attracted large congregations and at the central city churches, where excep tionally tine musical programmes were rendered, there were Instances ot crowding to the doors. The children hud their Inning at day break and in uny house where tnere were children there wus no sleep from that time on. The streets did not begin to show much activity until after din ner except along the streets Jn the vicinity of the churches, which were thronged at the opening and closing time of the services. After dinner, promenaders were out In force and all afternoon a merry throng Jostled along the avenues enjoying a "sunning," strange aa the word may seem In con nection with Christmas. There were few disturbances, and while daylight lasted not a single man was arrested In the central city juid only a few in the outer precincts. There were many visitors in the city spending the day with parents and friends and many small dinner parties were held by reunited families In honor of those who came home to spend the holidays. Amos Holllster, of Schultzvllle, was In the city yesterday and stated that yesterday morning he planted two acres of meadow land without difficulty. Thin is a remarkable record for this region. SAM HOUSTON'S BUSY DAY. And the Man Who Wanted to Fight Him Had to Wait His Turn. From the Knoxvllle Journal. In the day a of General Sam Houston duelling was much more common than now. After removing to Texas, General Houston happened to give offense to a political opponent, who felt his hoiiQr disfigured to such an extent that he sent a challenge to Houston. The bear er of the chalenge was received with courtly civility. He handed the writ ten chalenge to Grnerul Houston, who read It, and taking up his pen wrote something across the back of the fold ed paper and placed it In a pigeonhole of his desk. He then went on to enter tain the bearer of the challenge with the pleasant conversation for which he was noted. After a time the man be gan to grow impatient, and reminding the general of the chulenge, asked him If he was going to reply. 'Oh, yes," said Houston, "I'm- going to reply." "Well, are you going to accept the challenge of my friend?" "Certainly I will ncept it.' "Will you fix the date for tomorrow?" "No, not tomorrow." "Next day?" "No, not the next day either." "Well, will you fix a date?" ""No, I am not uble now to fix a date. You saw me murder your friend's note; It Is No. 49. There are forty-eight other blanked scoundrels ahead of your friend and I must take them In turn. As soon as I have killed them off I will attend to your friend; but he will have to wait until his turn comes." The bearer of the challenge bowed himself out; but of course his friend's turn never came and it Is not probable that he was anxious for It to come. In n Deadlier Held.

If you were to call at 27 Front avenue you would find a pleasant elderly lady, Mrs. Captln Henesy by name. Her kindly smile and Joyous manner are to no small extent due to the escape she has had. Her own words can better de scribe her rescue and one can easily un derstand her present hanpy condition when they realise what he has gone trough. She says: "About Ave uiontha ago I had an attack of sickness which lasted for a week and since that time I have been subject at intervals to similar attacks, some of which were longer In duration. It is hard for me to describe how I Buffered. The pain Would commence In my head, after which it would seem to pass down my body and settle In my back, my sides ached, my back ached, and I had a feel ing of great distress In the bowels. The Increased pain which seemed to come from lying down, would be almost un bearable, my face and stomach would bloat up and I could hardly stand on my feet, dlszlnesa made It almost im possible; this feeling was always with me even after the violence of the attack passed over. The last attack I had was the worst, and was so bad I would not have been able to tell this story but for Doan's Kidney Pills. As soon as I com menced their use I found immediate re lief. The pain In my back and sides left tne and the dlsxlness went with it; the bloating in my face and body dis appeared and all distress in my bowels was gone.
