Theater-goers will have a treat next
Saturday night, when the clever com
pany presenting "The Fatal Card" ap
pears at the Frothlngham. This
style of dramn nlwuys has a
strung hold on the public and
it is a legend that a piny like this
hns never failed when well written and
played. Farce-comedy, comic opera,
horse ?)lnys und realistic drama have
come and are on the wane, but this kind
of play is still popular. The dramatic,
portions are deftly sandwiched with the
humorous, and the sensutlonal episodes
awake Interest. The strongest scene Is
said to be that of the broker's oflice,
where the tjreut bond robbery takes
place.
AFTER MR. MORGAN.
Others Want the Minister Scranton Hoped
to Possess.
The popularity of Key. Charles T.
Morgan, of Philadelphia, and the dlltl
culty which may be experienced by the
Penn avenue Baptist church In se
curing him for Its pastor. Is indicated
In the following paragraph from Mon
day's Philadelphia Ledger: "At n meet

T. Morgan, pastor of the Spring Garden
street church, of Philadelphia."
Tho Penn avenue church of this city
very recently extended a call to Mr.
Morgan, but It was not at all certnin
that that he could be engaged. It wns
feared that his well-known ability and
charac teristics so peculiarly fitting him
for a strong pastorate would encourage
other congregations in their endeaveor
to secure him. Consequently the news
Is not unexpected that the Haverhill
church, which Is described as having- a
large and Inlluentlal congregation, has
made a bid for the man the Penn nve
nue peonle hoed to possess.
If Mr. Morgan fails to choose Scran
ton, his decision will be no Ichs unfortu
nate to the city at large thnrt to the Im
mediately Interested Penn avenue con
gregation, 1 .' 15 SOMETHING NEW.
Tho American Public. Holding Standard
Course Tickets, l ook to It.
The simple title "Miss Jerry" which
described last night's number on the
catalogue of the ISM-IMS standard course
at the Young Men's Christian associa
tion tells undoubtedly how the com
pilers of the catalogue failed to conceive
a brief manner of giving an idea of
what the entertainment is like and In
despair simply put down "Miss Jerry."
The audience at Young Men's Christ
Ian association hall last night wan as
large as the hull would accommodate
und its hearty appreciation must hnvc
been very gratifying to Mr.HInck. The
story, pictures and the reading shared
equally in the applause.

afternoon and nominated a city ticket.
Tho candidates chosen were:
Mayor James U. Bailey.
Treasurei- Christopher G. lioland.
Controller Edward J. Itoblnson.
Assessors James T. White, of lYovi
dence; Charles Yoos, of the West Side;
and D. P. Battle, of the fnlith Side.
The convention wns notable for its
quietness and for the absence of nearly
till of the prominent men of the party
who are usually conspicuous tigureti at
city and county conventions.
At l'.i5 the curtain at Music hall wns
rah'Sd und D.W. Yaughun, acting chair
man of the city committee, and Attor
ney M. F. Sando, secretary, wulked on
the stage. Mr. Yaughan made no re
marks in calling the convention tojir
der.contenting himself with instructing;
Secretary Sando to read the call for the
convention. This done credentials were
called for. Attorney John M. Corbctt
assisted Secretary Samio in the work
of receiving a:ul recording them.
There wus a larpe crowd present
though not so many us thronged the?
hull a week before at the Republican
convention, it was a strangely orderly
crowd for u Democratic city conven
tion. No waves of enthusiasm ebbed
or flowed across the convention hull
and the "glad hand" was not once
given when the notables uoproachil
the platform to hand up their creden
tials. ( Hiially ut such KatlierliiKH tin
appearance of u man of uny renown In
the si-rnul for an outburst or applause
but yesterday's convention wus unusu
ally silent and cold.
Several Contests Instituted.
At 2.4ri the credentials were all In the
possession of the secretaries and Mr.
Sando read the roll of tho convention.
The following contests were announced:
Sixth ward Second di.itriet Stephen
CugKins, coatesied Ly John V. Lynch:
third district. Patrick O'JIarn contested
by J. P. Kelly.
Eleventh wii'il Third dintriet contested
by John SchK t ilk.

chairman und Roderick Toole, of t":ie
Seventh ward, nominated Kdwurri F.
ldewllt. Colonel F. J. Fltuslninions
wot also nominated but declined nnd
Mr. Hlewltt was unanimously chosen.
There was much nppluusc as Mr. Hlew
ltt uppenrcd on the sta;e. He thanked
the delegates for the honor eonfei red
upon him nnd cnled for nominations for
secretaries. Attorney M. J. Donahue
and Attorney John .1. .Murphy were
elected without opposition. Mr. Iilew
Itt then appointed the following com
mittees; Resolutions A. F. O'liovle. M. ,T. Dona
hoe. William J. itiirke. Nathan Vldaver.
F. J. Fitzsimmons.

No Hoodie in Sight.
After the committees retired one dele
gate moved for a recess of half an hour
but the chairman refused to put the mo
tion and Patrick Golden cried out: "Sit
down. We don't want a recess; thcre't
no boodle In this."
The delegates and onlookers waited
very quietly and patiently until 3.1.1
for the committees to muke their re
ports and at that hour Chairman Flon
nghan, of the committee on credentials,
presented a report seating Stephen Cog
gins as the delegate from the Second
district of the Sixth ward; John llol
letan as the delegate from the Third dis
trict of the Thirteenth ward: John
Schwenk lis the delegate from the Third
district of the Eleventh ward, t'ntrick
O'ilnra and J. P. Kelly were each al
lowed half n vote as representatives of
the Third district of the Sixth ward.
Martin Flaherty, of the Eleventh
ward, who was imseated in favor of
John Schwenlj. was granted the priv
ilege of the floor und in an Impnsslonoil
speech protested thnt a grent injustice
hud been done him by the committee nn
credentials. He said he was the legally
elected delegnte and could bring abun
dant evidence to prove that fact. In
the face of this he could not understand
why the seat should be given to a man
who had no lefjnl clnlm to it whatever.
The leaders were orating about har
mony but if tluy were sincere in their
desire for harmony they were proceed
ing In the wrong way to secure It.
Notwithstanding Mr. Flaherty's pro
test the report of the committee wnr
adopted and Mr. Schwenk was sealed.
The report of the committee on resolu
tions wus read by A. P. O' Boyle, who
made a brief speech In urging the
adoption of the resolutions. They were
accepted without challenge as an ex
pression of the senllmentH of the dele
gate);. They rend as follows:
Resolutions Adopted.
The Democracy of the city of Scranton,
In convention assembled, renews Its alle
giance to the principles of the great parts
founded by Thomas Jefferson, which,
though other parlies may eomo and go!
seems destined to go on forever, or ni
bast so long as the Pnlted Slates shaT
continue Its present form of government
We hail with plmsure the returning
fealty of the people at large to that great
party.
We take pleasure In commending th
manly and patriotic stand taken by Presi
dent Cleveland In his recent menage on
the Venezuelan question as a true ami
courageous Interpretation of American
policy as enunciated by James Monro.-,
und the fathers of Ihe Republic.
We commend the courageous stnipl
taken by the insurgent Cubans and the
Boers In their struggle for liberty, und
trust success will crown their efforts.
We believe It the duty of every civilized
and Christian nation to raise Its voice in
protest against the atrocities prrprtra tei:
on the Armenians.
We deprrcate and denounce the method?
used by our political opponents in tbi.
city In their attempt to continue munici
pal control, as such means are calculate)
to defeat Ihe popular form of government
upon which the stability of our Institu
tions depends.
We rail upon every citizen who Is pos
sessed of political Independence and who
resents bribery In every form and whose
desire is for municipal reform to Join with
us In this battle for good government, unil
for the honor anil dignity of public office.
We pledge ourselves to support the can
didates nominated by this convention, and
agree to use every honest and honorable
method to secure their election.
We recognize the deplorable conditior
to which the degradation of the poli"c
force hns reduced the morality of this city
The charge of a Republican paper that
leaders of that party have trallicked ii,
men's lusts and passions has not und can
not be refuted. The police force, instead
of being used for public protection. Is
openly employed for political oppression.
It Is a species of debauchery which af
fects the liberties and the homes of all
citizens. Police are out of pluee In poli
tics, and the time has come when thai
fact must be emphasized.
We call upon every citizen who Is pos
sessed of political Independence, who re
sents bribery In every form and whosr
desire Is for municipal reform, to Jain wit!-,
us In this battle. We also call for the rele
gation of all self-styled Democrats whr
have made it a practice to hang on to t
Republican boss to oblivion or Republ!
canlsm. Let them make their choice.
We denounce emphatically the corrupt
use of money for the purpose of Influenc
ing elections, whether general or primary
and we brand as traitors to the principle
.m which the Republic Is founded, ni
handed down by Its fathers, those gull'
either as principals or accessories of thl.
nefarious crime. They are the most dan
rerous enemies of this benellcial govern
aient of the people, by the people, am
we call upon all cltisens who have at
heart the preservation of the purity and
stul.llliy of our form of government, local
and national, to put the seal of their dis
approval by depositing their bullous
aKt-inst the reprrs entailves of this per
nicious practice. It Is needless to call any
further public attention to the notorious
ami shameless exemphllrailon of the cor
rupt use of money power that has been
witnessed in the recent Republican pri
maries in this city.
We pledge the hearty support of this
convention to the candidates who shall
be placed in nomination here toduy.
Hallo Named for Mayor.
Chairman Blewitt said they had now
reache'd the Important work of the con
vention and called for nominations for
mayor. Attorney Nathan Vidaver took
the lloor and in avspeech embellished
with theatrical effects named James O.
Bailey for the ollice. He sioke of this
as the nMrtiinlty of Democracy and
said that he branded as false the state
ments that they were without candi
dates. There were plenty of candidates
who were willing to accept nomination
and it remained tor tne convention to
decide upon the most available ones.
"Who Is the man thnt stands out
prominently among the many men
tioned for mayor? the man who will be
supported by the solid Democracy?
Who is this mun. I ask?"
Mr. Vldaver hesitated for a moment
with finger poised in air and then a
delegHte to his left who know his busi
ness shouted "James tJ. Bailey."
"You're right!" cried Mr. Vidaver re
suming the thread of his address. "You
anticipated me.but you're right! Thut's
the man I would name ami if the unit

unnnipiotis -nomination he will accept. "
The nomination was seconded by A.

From chlldhiHid to old age health Is
very much a matter of sound, refresh
ing sleep.
No one can digest well, work well,
feel well, or be well, who is night after
night deprived of good sleep. It Is phy
sically Impossible for any brain
to keep on providing; nervous
energy unless the nights are de
voted to nourishing Its used-up
parts. Protracted sleeplessness, where
no effort Is made to feed and calm the
Irritable nervous system, endB in nerv
ous prostration and tnsunlty.
Today there are far more neralglc
headaches, far more rheumatism, sleep
lessness and nervous prostration than
during; the last generation.
To combat this grossing evil, Prof.
Kdward K. Phelps, M. D LL. D., of
Dartmouth college, made nervous di
seases his special study. The fruitful
outcome of his long years of profes
sional Investigation wus Palne's celery
compound. Dltlicult nervous disorders
that had persisted despite long treat
ment, at once yielded to it. Men and
women who had suffered for years from
broken and uniefreshlng; sleep, from
Today there are far more neuralgic
found that Palne's celery compound not
only speedily cured these troubles, hut
that they worked better and felt more
encouraged than had been possible to
them for years.
As a practical Instance of what this
remarkable remedy is doing all over
the country, the following from Rev.
Dr. Wllllnm A. Smith, one of the best
known divines In Southern Nesv Eng
land, deserves careful reading. Dr.
Smith Is to-day 86 years of age, yet en
joys better health than ever In his life,
and never loses a single good night's
sleep. He writes:
Groton, Conn.
"Dears Sirs In my early days, by
great and prolonged mental suffering,
I broke down In health and became a
dyspeptic, being obliged at one time to
give up my work In the ministry on ac
count of Ill-health. I am nosv S6 years
of age, and during my long life have
suffered greatly from dysfiepslu, torpid
liver, constipation and insomnia, nt
times thinking that. I should die for
ss-ant of balmy sleep, and It Is a wonder
to me that I am alive to-day svlth all
that I hnve been through. 1 nm a won
der to myself, and to those who witness
my habits and knosv my age. I tell
them that I try to obey the lasvs of na
ture, and that I take Palne's celery
compound whenever I need it.
By the use of several bottles of Palne's
celery compound, I have so far recov
ered my health as to consider myself a
svell man for my age. It regulates the
liver, Htomnch and bowels, without any
question. My appetite Is now gnodj, my
sleep Is refreshing, my liver actls'e, and
bowels regular, and my crutches not
needed, a I can walk without a staff.
People are surprised at my Improved
appearance and activity.
Gratefully yours,
Wm. A. Smith.
Palne's celery compound does not stop
Its restoring work till new, healthy .tis
sues have taken the place of the old,
shattered portions. There Is not the
deepest, most minute portion of the
body, whether it be nerve or brain, or
some vital organ, that escapes the re-Jus-ennting,
strengthening poss-er of
Palne's celery compound. In cases of
severe neuralgia, rheumatism, heart
palpitations, dyspepsia and nervous
feebleness, Palne's celery compound is
the only remedy that goes to tho root of
the trouble, fortifies the weakened sys
tem against these disorders and builds
up a strong, healthy body.
