The social tump is here In all its
glory. CHory" is a Rood word In this
case, because the major portion of so
ciety's elect are weary of the obligations
and demands which go with the i.oclal
season and wants to revel in the glory
of pleasing itself. Maybe the warm,
clear weather and the bicycle have all
to do with it; in fact, all the hill is
awheel and everything else will have to
ie neglected until the early summer
outpouring begins.

MIS1CAL COSSIP.
George N. Rockwell, who went to Al
bany, N. Y., In March to take charge
of the piano warerooius of the Leonard
Music and Publishing company, has
been siiending some time In Scranton
recently, and Ills many friends will
doubtless be pleased to know thut his
new book. "Angelic Hongs." for Sun
day schools and the home, will be out
about September 1st. Competent crit
ics und publishers who have examined
the work, pronounce It the best and
most complete of Its kind yet produced.
And certain It is. thut neither time,
lubor, or exiense huve been spared to
make it such. It is not a niuclilne-made
book, or a rehash of old tunes, but
strictly new. and up to date, and will
be a. revelation to the choristers and
schools of this country. Many of the
original hymns were written for, and
used in long and extensive personal
work, and have therefore had a prac
tical test. The book comprises about
2S0 bright, singable hymns; of this
number about one-tlfth are of Mr. Rock
well's own composition, and an equal
number adaptations; of this remainder
about one-third are contributed and the
balance are from the best English,
French, Germun and American writers.
The typographical work Is being clone
by the F. H. Gibson company, of Bos
ton, Mass., who are the largest music
printers In this country. The title page
is to be a veritable work of art. Speci
men pages wljl be ready In June, and
we predict for "Angelic Songs" an un
precedented sale.
A week of summer opera by the fam
ous Wilbur Opera company is an
nounced for the Frothtngham, begin
ning June 1.
Editor John H. Blackwood, of the
Sunday World, received a flattering of

Beach Yaw combination, while the

Professor Richard Lindsay has been
engaged as musical director at Laurel
Hill park for the summer season. Pro
fessor Lindsay will also conduct the
music at Riverside park during the sea
son. Music lovers who attended the concert
given by Miss Mary Thomas at Young
Men's Christian Association hall on
Monday evening, were charmed by the
excellent work of the young artist. Al
though Miss Thomas has resided for
some time In London, England. She
is an American girl by birth and her
success is gratifying to all Scranton
lans who take Interest in music.
For 18 Month, I'nablo to LI, Down In

enco with Heart Disease.
L. J. Law, of Toronto, Canada, says:
"I consider It my duty to give to the
public my experience with Dr. Agnew'3
Cure for the Heart. I have been sorely
troubled with heart disease and unable
to lie down in bed for eighteen months,
owing to smothering spells and palpita
tion. Each night 1 would have to bf
propped up by pillows, In order to keep
from smothering. After treating wltii
several medical men without benefit, I
procured a bottle of the Heart Cure.
After taking the first dose I retired an 1
slept soundly until morning. I us;'d
one bottle and have nut taken any nf
the remedy for seven weeks, but the
heart trouble has not reappeared. I
consider It the grandest remedy In ex
istence for heart disease." It acts like

"Like a charm."
Members of Seneca street Methodist
Church, Buffalo, are familiar with the
astonishing cure of catarrh with Dr.
Agnew's Catarrhal Power, In the case
of a member of the family of the pas
tor, Rev. B. L. Duckwell. There Is a
stage of catarrh when the distressing;
discomfort almost drives the sufferer lo
distraction, and one remedy after an
other Is tried with discouraging results.
In that condition the first use of Dr.
Agnew's Catarrhal Powder is followed
by a benediction or solacing ease and
relief. All the repulsive features of the
disease are Immediately allayed and re
moved, and a permanent cure follows
with delightful rapidity. In Rev. MA
Duckwell's family this sterling remedjl
acted, as it coes in all cases, like a
charm from the very start. That Is
why sufferers should always Insist on
getting Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder
at the start. Money la wasted and dis
