MONTROSE,
About a year ago Jud North, a follower
of the forge, who shoes the Rosinantes
of Montrose, threw a South Montrose
blacksmith up In the air; now he Is lig
urlng as the constable who gave a client
the grand throw down. The facts of tho
case are that Woolsey Carmalt, a wealthy
and tulented member of the bar of New
York city, owns a farm, "Lakeside," in
Frlendsvlllo township, and had Riven no
tice to a tenant to vacate.. Jud North Is a
constable duly elected In and for the bor
ough of Montrose, and he himself is au
thority for the statemnt tiiat he would go
to Texas to arrest a man if it was neces
sary. When Mr. Carmalt 'came here from
New- York a few days ago he learned that
Constable North was about to go to
Kriendsvllle to arrest some unlawful citi
lens, and feeling that having the law and
Its machinery on his side, would be ad
vantageous, went with him. Mr. Carmalt
had a merry time wMi his tenant, and
while no arresting was done, Jud looked
after the welfare of bis charge and pre
vented the wife of the offending tenant
from literally macerateing Mr. Camalt,
who tried to enter a part of the large farm
house which was reserved for him, but
who failed to do so until by force he ac
complished hl purpose. They returned
to Montrose. There is telephonic connec
tion with Kriendsvllle and the tenant com
municated with his lawyer. The result
was that a warrant was issued for forci
bly entering his own house, and the
amusing part of it was that it was placed
in Jud's hands to serve.
To his credit ho did It very gracefully
and did not attempt to put his prisoner In
shackles but Jud said: "I was kinder
ashamed, but I did my duty, and he fur
nished bail so quick that I, well, I went
back to the shop and dlnlehed shoeing Al.
i'errigoes' horse."

PAINTING IN TAR. According; to
thff .Tnnrnnl lies UhIiics a Gag, oolora
excellently adapted to the cheaper
kinds of painting can be made by em
ploying coal-tar instead of oil as a
vehicle. Coal-tar paints cover a larger
surface by one-fourth than an equal
weight of oil-colors, require no varnish
ing, and dry very quickly. They may
be applied on fresh plaster, damp walls,
cement, wood, or metal, and moreover,
possess disinfecting properties, due to
the carbolic acid, they contain.
STEEL MILLS TO BR OPENED.

ELECTRICITY IN RUSSIAN WAR
DEPARTMENTS. Owing to the great
advance in the application of electricity
In naval and military warfare for light
ing, search lights, power purposes,
operation of turrets and guns, etc., all
countries have found It-necessary ade
quately to Instruct a staff of officers
and corps of men In the theory and
practice of electricity.' In this direc
tion, however, Russia has made an ad
vance In organizing a separate electri
cal branch ot the army, under a lieu
tenant general, two major generals and
five officers of lower grade, who will
also have under their charge a military
electrical school.
BOCKETLESS LAMPS.-A new fea

PLANS FOR C. E. CONVENTION
Crest Extent of the ArraaietBeats aad
the Responsibility Are Not aaowa to
, the Geaeral Pablte Moratoa
Mlssioasrtes Ucre Notes.
The general public has but slight con
ception of the great extent and responsi
bility connected with the arrange
ments for the state Christian Endeavor
convention In this city next October.
The work necessary to successfully
provide for ten or twelve thousand
delegates and visitors began last fall,
and since that time has engaged the
attention of the '9 committee, the cen
tral executive body, and a large number
of sub-committees and co-workers from
among the many city Christian En
deavor societies.
How Scranton will provide for ten
or twelve thousand strangers is a prob
lem that has not been completely
solved, although it will during August
and September be known Just how
many delegates will be present, and
these will be housed by Christian En
deavor members. Of the others, many
will procure entertainment through
frl'-mts p. ml relatives, and the others
will, during the summer, engager hotel
accommodations or take pot-luck with
the hostelries and boarding houses af
ter reaching here.
Three sites are being considered for
a convention hall. The one most cen
trally located will not, it Is feared, be
large enough for a building to accom
modate the thousands who will want to
attend the meetings. The other two
sites have space enough for crowds of
any magnitude, but are not readily ac
cessible. It is believed that the archi
tect will have to come to the commit
tee's aid and so plan a temporary struc
ture that a safely supported gallery
may be constructed with exits and
comforts In keeping with the great
throng expected.
The convention songs will be led by
a choir ot about 175 voices. These sing
ers are now organised and have begun
practicing under the direction of C. H.
Chandler, chairman of the music com
mittee. This choir will next Thursday
night occupy a position on the stage ot
the Frothingham theater during the
lecture by Rev. Dr. F. E. Clark. Dr.
Clark la to talk on the subject, "God's
Purpose In Christian Endeavor."
Thursday night was begun as follows a
series ot services preparatory to the
lecture: First Presbyterian church,
Rev. Thomas Bell, of the Plymouth
church, speaker; Washburn Street
Presbyterian church. Rev, W. H. Stub
bleblne, of Calvary Reformed church,
speaker; Providence Presbyterian
church, Rev, W. G. Watklns, of the
North Main Avenue Baptist church,
speaker; Dunmore Presbyterian church.
Rev. A.. B. O'Neal, of the Dunmore
Baptist church, speaker.
RESIGNATION WAS ACCECPTED.
After the regular services in the Elm
hurst Presbyterian, church last Sunday
evening, the congregation met to con
sider the resignation of the pastor, Rev.
Eneas McLean. The meeting was
called to order by Rev. W. Q. Scott,
who acted as moderator. and'John'D.
Fuller was chosen secretary. The lat-'
ter read Rev. Sir. McLean's letter Of
resignation. Ill health was the cause'
of his action. After remarks by sev-;
eral members of the congregation show
ing their sincere regret at losing their
pastor, the resignation- was accepted.'
The committee consisting of F. L.
Carr, Charles R. Smith, R. H. Martin,
Miss Fanny M. Fuller and Mrs. Louise
Christy,, appointed to prepare suitable
resolutions, reported - the following,
which were adopted:
v'hereas. On account of protracted sick
ness our beloved pastor. Rev. Eneas Mc
Lean, has tendered his resignation and
haa asked the co-operation of the offi
cers and members of the church in peti
tioning the presbytery to dissolve the pas
toral relation existing between himself

cessity for the dissolution of this pastoral
relation, which has been so uniformly
pleasant and so productive of good in the
church and In this community.
Resolved, That our deepest sympathy
and love be extended to him in his present
affliction, and that we ask the blessing of
the Divine Father upon htm and his

Ellen Beach Yaw, the California
vocalist, who will sing at the- Froth

for the past year accounted the most
remarkable soprano the world has ever
known having a compass of voice
greater than any sonrana recorded by
history, extending from G below to E
In altlsslmo, a range of nearly four
octaves. Her tones are produced her
perfect method and beautiful sympa
thetic quality of voice have evoked aa
much comment as the extent of her
rang-?. She sings through the soul
which lights up her beautiful face
one fancies she Is simply feeling fcloud.
Her voice was born with. her. and Im
pelled by a soul alive with musical
harmonies. It has grown to - be the
greater part of her. For three years
Miss Yaw had the most careful train
ing under the Instruction of Mrs. Theo
dore BJorksten, of New York, who real
ixed the wonderful possibilities of her
voice. Afterwards this excellent teach
er took her to Parts and placed her
under the Instruction of Delle Sedle and

phenomenon of the times.

the whole audience and was forced to

CENTRAL LEAGUE DEAD.
Pennsylvania Towns Don't Want to Hun
the Financial Risk.
Bellefonte, Pa., April 24. As feared
at the time the withdrawal of the Sha
mokln team from tha Central Pennsyl
vania Base Ball league proved the
premature death of that organization,
even before it had become properly or
ganized. The attempt of the three re
maining clubs, namely, WUHamsport,
Lock Haven and Danville, to reorganize
by Inducing Sunbury, Bellefonte and
Renova to join proved a flat failure,
Sunbury being the only place where the
lovers of the sport took the necessary
steps toward placing a team. ' .
The chief reason Bellefonte did not
take to the proposition Is that in all
past years when an organization was
in force here, the managers and stock
holders were always out ot pocket at
the end ot the season.

Wells, Richardson & Co., Burlington,
Vt: Gentlemen I take much pleasure
In being able to add my mite to the
great mass of testimony In praise of
Palne's celery compound.
In November last I found myself
much run down by overwork. For
several weeks I had been obliged to
work eighteen hours daily out of the
twenty-four, and was In consequence
In a state of physical and nervous ex
haustion. At the suggestion of a friend
I commenced the use of Palne's celery
compound, with the result ' that my
strength has steadily Improved, and I
find myself In far better health than I
have known for years.
I believe also that It has enabled me
to escape my periodical attack of rheu
matism, as every season since that
time with the advent of the cold, damp
weather, I have suffered severely from
that disease In a chronic form. So far
this winter I have escaped without a
single twinge of my old enemy. I very
cheerfully recommend It to any one In
similar need, In the full belief that it

will be helpful in every case. Very sln
cerely yours, A. A. Bennett.
If we all lead out-of-door lives, went
to bed at sundown and had no consum
ing cares nor hard work to bring down
the health, there might not be the ur
gent necessity that now exists for
taking this best of spring remedies
Palne's celery compound.
But as the great majority of lives are ,
ordered with too much work, too
much anxiety, too little Bleep, by the
time winter Is over the drain on the
nervous energy has become excessive,
the nrves are in sad need of being
strengthened and the blood of being
purified.
Palne's celery compound absolutely
meets this great modern necessity.
Palne's celery compound will bring
back nerve strength and replace poor,
thin, pale blood with a ruddy, health
making stream.
It Is the one great practical remedy;
advocated by all physicians.
It drives away that feeling of uttef
exhaustion that la so common in tha
spring, but no less dangerously signifi
cant because It is so common. It
makes people well. It Is a thousand
times Bttperlor to all the ordinary
sarsaparillas, nervines and tonic ever
made.
Palne's celery compound Is the one
real spring remedy known today that"
never falls to benefit. Oet Palne's cel
ery compound If you wish to be well.
