HIS PLEA FOK THE FORESTS
Says That the Woodlands Itcndcr Incal

dered to Him Afterwards in Y. M.
C X. Parlors by Hoard of t rade.
Dr. J. T. Hothrook. state forestry
cuiiiinissioiier, lectured In Young -Men's
Christian Association hall last evening
on "Ueautlt'iil Pennsylvania": he hud
a large u whence of the cultured persona
of the city, uiul his subject was elo
iticutly set forth, the intriiducllon of
photographic stereuptiroii views serv
ing lo add an entertaining feature.
Alter the lecture Dr. Itotlirock mingled
with the memlicrH of the board of trade
in tlie right puller of the rooms, by
Whom he was tendered a reception.
A.W. Dickson Introduced the speaker.
Dr. itothrock was suffering lroiii a
heavy cold and hoarseness interfered to
a certain extent with his delivery. 1 1
was apparent that he was laboring un
der a severe strain, but nut withstand
ing. he kept right on and the frequent
applause which greeted him proved now
w e he was enjoyed.
Forestry, he said. Is a question that
concerns the preservation or tlie com
nionweulth. und it is one that com
mends itself to the intelligence of the
people. The llrst scene -represented ail
arid and stony section of Arizona, tree
less and without any vegetation, in her
views of Arizona's sterile soil wen- pro
duced, and then in contrast were-shown
representations of agricultural sections
of I'eiinsylvania.
Will I tilie the Power of tho Waves.
Dr. Hothrock prophesied that the time
will come and it will be within the life
of some who were listening to hinft
when the power of the waves which
break upon the Atlantic seaboard wlfl
lie utilized for niunv purposes: ' As nn
illustration lie said that only 500 species
of plant life of the 150.0W In. existence
are used by man now. The time will
come when all of these species will be
us.., I Sn it Is with other things.
He went on to show that the more the
trees of the forest are cut down llu
u-i-eiiler the floods in time of rain-fall,
Let n. basket of dry leaves from the
mmli In uiitlieied in the fall and left
out In the ouen weather until spring
tlu weight of them will then he three
times as great. This Is from tlie water
Unit the leaves take up and retain.
Six counties of the state In one year
expended $1,000,000 to rehulld nriuges
which Hoods swept away. Kadi year
Imiween L'.OUO OOO and S. 000.000 acres ol
land are cleared of timber growth, and
as a consequence there is the amount of
water less which would he retained hy
the trees for seasons of drought
Clinton County Illustrations.
lie irnve an illustration of a valley in
Clinton county, through which he made
two trips; one was after a tlood In the
slicing, and the other was In the sum
mer, when he could not 11ml a single
place to water his hors. There were
no trees on the hills an" Hint was the
secret o' the Hood, for there was not
anv resistance to the progress of the
tlood.
There Is no wr r between the lumber
man and Dr. Hothrock; while he argues
for the preservation of the forest, his
connplaint is against the wretch who
starts forest tires. The raigusn obk
trees made her mistress of the seas, but
Kngland could nevo.r grow nor never
will he able to grow oak Iroes equal to
those In Pennsylvania. There Is a bell
of land In Pike county which surpasses
the Adlrondacks.
Year after year $1,000,000 worth of
timber goes tin In smoke from forest
fires. Dr. Kothrook, with great empha
sis, denounced the miscreants who are
guilty of this crime and advocated that
they be brought to justice.
After the lecture he received the
many present who were anxious to
meet him and shake his hand.

LETTERS WELL WORTH READING
No Need ol doing Away to Learn the News.
Here It Is Near Scranton Perhaps You
Know Some ot the People.
A few days ago a young man went
Into the office of a Scranton merchant
in seurch of work. Being asked for
references he idiowed two strongly
commendatory letters written by for
mer employers In San Fraiicsico.
"Why, dear fellow," said the mer
chant, "those tienple speak highly of
you. but they are too fur away. It
would be much better if you could refer
to someone In or near Scranton."
This may have been huid oil the
young man, but who can Illume the
merchant".' In an Important matter, do
we not nil prefer the testimony of peo
ple near home whom we can readily
communicate with?
of nurse. Recognlaing this princi
ple, the Acker Medicine company places
before you to-ilav letters from citi
zens of this givut state of Pennsyl
vania. In Oregon. Florida, and other
distant places, the Acker Medicines
have won fame for curing dangerous
obstinate diseases; but what concerns
the readers of this newspaper is that
the Acker remedies have turned Inval
ids into strung. In arty men and women
right here, dose to your own homes.
In the same i;liiiuito, under conditions
of life like your own. the Acker medi
cines have done their beneficent work.
Perhaps you personally know the
writers of some of these letters. Wheth
er you know them or not, you see that
their homes are not fur away. They
are your neighbors.a circumstance that
cannot fall to ndil force to the positive
and explicit language they employ.
It will take only a minute or two of
your time to read what they say.
Mr. E. I. Lathroii of the Carbondale
Leader, says:
"I have made use of your Acker's
Blood Elixir personal)', and have found
It of. great benefit. It tones up my sys
tem after several yetirs of debility,
caused by the vitiated condition of my
blood, and made me feel like a new
man. 1 thank you for making this Im
provement possible by means of your
good remedy."
Mr. N. J. Cnney, of Pittston, says:
"I have used Acker's Blood Elixir,
and do hereby testify that It Is the best
blood medicine that I have found, und
1 cheerfully recommend It to all suffer
ing from Impurities of the blood of
whatever nature."
Mr. James H. Mercer, druggist ot
Bloomshurg, says:
"Your goods have proved a grand
surprise to the general run of medi
cine. I think It Is due you to mention
at least one case. Mr. D. A. Creasy, a
well known grocer of this town, who
used your English Remedy for a severe
cold pronounced it the best he ever
used or saw. It cured him and many
others in a short time."
Mr. Thomas Evans, of Pittston. says:
"I feel It my duty to Inform you that
Acker's English Remedy for coughs and
lung weakness has given me great ben
efit." Mrs. Mc Andrews, of 334 West Twenty-Second
street, N. Y., formerly of
Hyde Park. Scranton, says:
"After suffering from a severe attack
of asthma for several weeks. I was fin
ally cured by Dr. Acker's English Reni
ery." Mr. William Mltchen. of Pittston.
writes that, he linds Acker's English
Remedy all that It Is advertised, and
he would recommend It to anyone af
flicted with a cough.
Mr. Frank E. Stler. of Enston, says:
"Allow nie to make mention of one
very remarkable cure of blood poison
ing which came under my direct obser
vation. This was ait obstinate case
which had been treated by a great
many physicians, but they failed to
cure him completely and he is conse
quently very happy. To any one who
is anxious to know the hamc of this
gentleman I will be very glad to tell It
for the disease was terrible, and the
case made a lasting impression upon
my mind in favor of your medicine."
Mr. William Brydon also of Pittston
says :
"We have used Acker's preparations
In the family for years, and have found
them all that you give them out to be
and more. 1 most heurtlly recommend
them as genuine remedies."
Another citizen of Pittston, Mr. C. C.
Hutchinson, says:
"As a blood purifier I consider Acker's
Blood Elixir the best 1 have never used.
I hereby testify to its merits not only
us a blood purifier, but also because it
gave me great relief from the dyspep
sia with which 1 was troubled."
Now has not the time been well In
vested? If you were sick and a dozen
Intelligent. Influential citizens living
near you came In a body to tell you of
a remedy that had cured them, surely
the hint would not be lost.
The Acker Medicine Company onlv
asks that you will take the advice of
your fellow Pennsylvatilans.

The Smith Wales Daily News has
published the following I riiuslallon of
tin- "Welsh Hymn" which is dedicated
to the Welsh-Americans of the Sumner
Avenue Presbyterian chinch of this
city:
Oh! marvels of. the morning
That breaks on yonder shore.
Tile wave-lost home rciiuniim.
Their Irihiil.ttlon o'er;
All like their Lord in iilory.
Without a shade of pbioia
They rise a shining army.
Triumphant o'er the tomb.
