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

. 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. -

"Have you though about doing any

"No, dear;" was the reply, "It is a little
early for such preparations, isn't It?"
M'yes. But It s as well to take time by
the forelock, you know. Have you a
memorandum book handy?"
"Yes."
"Well, you might Jot down these llttlo

prefer. They cannot by any possibility be
purchased at a bargain. Here is the num
ber of slipper that I wear, and you might
make a note of the fact that my prefer
ence In neckties is dark red, with a small
black figure, also that I do not need any
suspenders."
And she thanked him, and wrote It all
down, thereby saving no small share of
future regrets . and embarrassments.

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.

On Lake Erie's Shoroe-The Captain's
Wife Telia the Story-It Will
Interest Many People
(From the Buffalo Evening News.)
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. I have great faith in Doan's
Kidney Pills; In a short time they did a
great deal more for me than all the
plasters and medicines which I had re
sorted to in seeking relief and cure. I
hope always to be able to procure
them."
