WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Trolley Road from This Part of the City
to Providence Opened Laying
a Double Track.
Th Scranton Traction comrany yes
terday opened ItH belt line from Hyde
Park to Providence. Forty minute trips
were made all day und the new depar
ture mas stamped a decided success.
Two transfers of passengers were nec
essary yesterday. At thu Lackawan
na avenue bridge and at Tripp's cross
lug. At the bridge double tracks are
being- laid and the crossing; over the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
tracks has not yet been begun. When
these points are again ship-shape sev
eral more cats wilt be added. The
railroad company objects to the Trac
tion people laying their tracks on the
Tripp crossing owing to the Bteep
grade on the Hyde Park side. Persons
on Taylor, Luzerne, Kynon or Wasn
buru Cars who wish to go to the North
Knd will be given transfers at the
corner of Lackawanna avenue and
Ninth street. The first car leaves at
6.40 o'clock a. m., and the last at tl
o'clock p. m. The Providence car runs
from the Marvine to Tripp's crossing.
Yesterday the connections were made
with commendable regularity.
Owing to the double-tracking of the
bridge the West Side lines were worked
under dlfllculties yesterday. The com
pany is laying double tracks from
Franklin avenue to Seventh street. To
cross the bridge the planks had to be
torn up for the new track. In doing
this the company blocked the north
half of the bridge and an Improvised
fence was built to guard off humanity
from the open parts. Vehicular traf
fic was Impeded to great extent and
there were several blockades. But the
job will be completed after a few hours
more work. To make up for the les
ened number of cars on the Hyde Park
end of the bridge It was necessary to
make flying trips. Lucerne car mad.?
the round In forty minutes; North Main
In forty; Washburn in fifteen, and
three Taylor cars were obliged to do
the work of the regular four and on
scheduled time, which Is forty min
utes for the round trip. To make this
time the cars were sped at their full
force of the power. Hot boxes were
watched for all day. The Journals were
o heated on some cars that the hand
could not comfortably touch them. No
accidents occurred.
MATCH FOR LOCAL SHOOTERS.

association, and the name of the con
cern Is "Patagonia." A sweepstake

ander Phillips. Responses should be
sent to Stevens' hotel, on South Main
avenue.
VP WITH TIIK TIMES.
Harry Wlllmtire. a younff man about
town, has invented a new scheme for
begging. The plan Is the result of the
bicycle erase. For several days past
Wlllmore has gone about to different
houses and he asks for 50 cents at each
place. Ills ilea Is that he rode here
from Northumberland on a bicycle. He
met with an accident and the wheel was
smashed. He wants to have it re
paired. Willmore is quite successful.

last night. The programme was well
selected, and delighted a large gather
ing of the families and friends of the
members.
Louis G. Shautz. one of the past
grands of the lodge, was chairman of
the evening. The leading feature of the
programme was an address on Odd Fel
lowship by J. R. Thomas, of the West
Side. He addressed himself specially to
to the young men of the lodge, because
he did not think it was necessary to
repeat what he said for the benefit of
the older ones, an they remembered the
incidents well enough. He went back
to the days of the civil war and related
the history of the order in that trying
period. He dwell u:on the battle of
Gettysburg, and was very entertaining
throughout.
Others who contributed to the pleas
use of the occasion were Miss Elizabeth
Scheuer, Miss Belle Tolemle, Fred G.
Otto, W. H. Roberts, the choir of Cedar
Avenue Methodist Episcopal church,
Professor Berghauser's orchestra. Al
ter the entertainment refreshments
were served.

TUG ISSUE IX PI HE SILVER.
Stop bothering your heart about the fig
ures 10 to 1, leave the gold stanilnr.1 out of
the question, for there Is n. direct Issue
upon It, and consider the real issue, silver.
A lump of silver of a certain slze,Sl7',4
grains in weight, is today worth S3 cents.
The Bryan proposition is that the Gov
ernment shall stamp It a dollar. That
would be tint money making, of the same
sort as the Government's setting itj
printing presses to work and turning out
without lunlt dollars of paper.
It is flat dishonesty. It Is pregnant with
trouble for every man, laborer or capital
ist, who lives by Industry, and It would
leave to the United States the hurt of
lusting mistrust in the mind of every in
dustrial Investor and leader, American or
foreign. Heat it as the American voters

CURIOSITIES OF DRUGS.
They Aro (lathered and Prepared
from Suakcs, Insects, Fishes, Toads,
llcasts and Vegetables.
There Is meat for mild surprise, says
the Pittsburg News, in the stupendous
variety of supposedly medicinal things
recapitulated in the pharmacopoeia,
but incitement to astonishment in the
rellectlon that anybody was ever capa
ble of imagining that some of them
miyht possess curative virtues.
All schools of practitioners employ
certain animal products, such, for In
stance, as tincture of Spanish flies, the
Russian cockroach, the poison of the
honey bee, an oily secretion of the
beaver, the odoriferous secretion of the
musk deer and serpent poison. F.xcep
tionnl local value Is given to some ma
terials of this class which are not gen
eiully known by the profession, as in
Switzerland, where consumptives are
supposed to derive much benefit from
feeding upon golden beetles, and in
Venezuela, where the horny snout of an
enormous beetle is supposed to be a
sure cure for fits, and in several tropical
countries, where the skin of a freshly
killed monkey, drawn on the left leg,
cures hernia. But possibly those rem
edies lie too close to the margin of faith
cures to be seriously considered! among
the things which have the authorita
tive approval of a medical school.
The homeopathic pharamacopoeia,
published no longer ago than 1878, men
tions quite an interesting lot of unlmal
products recognized as remedies in that
system of medicine and gives Instruc
tion in the method of preparation of
quite a lot of them. Various reptile
venoms figure conspicuously in the list.
-:fi:-
The rattlesnake is In demand for the
virus in the sacs at the roots of his
fangs. Two ways of getting It are rec
ommended. In one his fangs are pulled
out, with the poison sac attached, and
dropped in alcohol. By the other,
which would perhaps be more exciting
for the pharmacist, the snake is to be
enraged, and, when his fury Is greatest,
caused to bite repeatedly into some ab
sorptive substance, which is then Im
mersed in alcohol. Trituration In sugar
or milk prepares the virus for adminis
tration. The Brazilian rattlesnake Is
utilized In the same way and seems to
be regarded as a yet more potent crea
ture. A Brazilian snake "which has the
peculiarity of being able to move either
forward or backward as It may desire,"
though not both ways at once. Is also
sought for Its venom. Its whole jaw Is
triturated for medicine. Nala trlpudl
ans, the cobra de capello of India, also
affords good medicine, but strong, for
ten drops of Its venom must be diluted
with ninety drops of alcohol, or It tri
turated with sugar of milk the same
proportions must be preserved. The
Italian viper yields a virus probably
when enraged, though that Is not speci
fied of which one drop is enough to
triturate with ninety-nine grains of
sugar of milk. A tincture Is made of
Scorpio europaeas, the scorpion, "the
entire living animal" being mucet$ted
In live times his weight In nlcohol, and
that Is also probably the way the centl
ped Is treated, though mere mention Is
accorded to him.
Closely allied to the snake poisons Is
curare, a substance prepared by the In
dians of South America, particularly
those of British Guiana, which is sup
posed to be made from various species
of strychnos, with which are mingled
serpent virus, "toad venom," etc., with
rosins and gums to give consistence to
the nice moss. Its ingredients tire ex
actly known by Its makers only, but Its
powerful effects commend It for tritura
tion and prescription.
Insect life affords a great variety of
drugs that, if not exactly odd them
selves, perhaps have odd sources. The
spiders head the list, and naturally the
tarantula, that very big and venomous
one found In the West Indies, Mexico
and California, holds first place. He Is
macerated in alcohol to make a tincture,
and it is observable that the directions
prescribe that "the entire living' insect"
Is to be dropped Into the fluid. A Cuban
black spider may also be treated in the
same alcoholic way or triturated with
sugar of milk.
The fishes contribute their share.
The common crabs found in rivers and
smnll streams Is pounded In a mortar,
covered with three parts of alcohol, and
macerated seven or eight days before
filtering. Eminently satisfactorily re
sults might also be attained by making
a bisque of him after he is pounded, but
the book says nothing about that. The
dried blood of the king crab is triturated
with sugar of milk. The garnet red
European starfish, alive, Is maeeratd
In alcohol for eight days and then fil
tered. The sea nettle Is cut In pieces
and macerated In alcohol to make a
tincture, and will receive no sympathy
from anybody who has ever come in
contact with one while bathing'. The
hide of the gigantic dolphin (Delphluus
Htnazonlcus), which grows to be nine or
ten feet long, and Is only found at the
mouth of tlie Amazon river. Is to be
triturated, which Is probably laborious,
but ought to give lots of medicine of
some sort. Only the first cer-lcal ver
tebra of Gadus morrhua, the codfish. Is
deemed worth trituration with sugar of
milk for medicinal purposes.
The beasts do not yield much, ac
cording to this code. The peculiar con
tributions of castor fiber and musk have
already been mentioned. About the
most startling tiling proposed is the in
tensely offensive Becretion of Mephitis
putorius. the skunk, which is to be ad
minislered In an aqueous solution. And
hydrophobinum, the virus of a rabid
dog, triturated with sugar of milk,
seems slightly sensational. The hide,
with the hair upon it, of the Brazilian
deer, is to be triturated. And castor
equl Is surely an odd medicine. It Is
the small, flat, oblong, rough, dark, hor
ny substances seen growing on the In
ner side of a horse's leg about the fet
lock, the animal's rudimentary thumb
nail. But when triturated with sugar
of milk it Is medicine.
COMMODORE 8LNGERLY IS SAD.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The law of the survival of the fittest as
applied to the struggles of life Is apt to
mean the law of the hustler. It Is apt,
too, as applied by the hustler and specu
lator to mean that the end justifies the
means. In that sense It means the abro
gation of scrupulousness and the en
thronement of unscrupulousness. It
means, too, that in the struggle for suc
cess the scrupulous man, for the most
part. Is driven to the wall; and hence is
deemed by the unscrupulous unlit to sur
vive. His conscience Is a blunder, and
a rock of offense; and the Darwinian
law as Interpreted by Its business vota
ries condemns him. We may assume that
In the eyes of Eternal Justice It wll be
different, and 'that a different- result will
follow. For the present, however, the
scrupulous man finds a great many thorns
In his rath; and his balance at the bank
is unsatisfactory.
Pile! Pilest Itching Piles.
Symptoms Moisture; Intense Itch
ing and stinging; most at night;
worse by scratching. If allowed to
continie tumors form, which often
bleed and ulcerate, becoming very sore.
Swayno's Ointment stops the Itching
and bleeding, heals ulceration, and In
most cases removes the tumors. At
druggists, or by mall, for 60 cents. Dr.
Swayne Son, Philadelphia.
MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.
New. York, July 29. Stocks at the
opening were generally lower, the de-'
cllne in the usually active list extend
ing to 4al per cent. London cables
were disappointing and local bears were
aggressive at this time, the failure of
the New York city and Brooklyn city
gold loans and the political uncertain
ty being used against the market. About
11 o'clock a steadier tone prevailed and
a slight rally ensued, but subsequently
the entire list weakened on renewed
sales for both the short and long ac
count. Sugar was hammered down to
100. a loss of 1V4 per cent, as compared
with yesterday's final transactions,
while the Grangers, Manhattan, West
cm Union, Louisville and Nashville
and Chicago Gas fell anywhere from 4
to 14 per cent. In the inactive Bhares.
Lackawanna dropped from 152 to 14Sa
147, Lake Shore from 145 to 140al41, and
Pullman Palace from 147 to 143, all on
light transactions. During the after
noon session the room traders and small
bears generally started In to cover, and
the market In consequence presented a
firmer front. For some reason, not
clearly explained, the trading element
was disposed to take a more cheerful
view of the chances of the sound money
advocates In the coming presidential
election, and the afternoon advance was
attributed to this belief. In the ad
vance Sugar was most prominent, ris
ing from 100 to lOi'ifc. The Grangers,
Chicago Gas, Lake Shore, Southwestern
and Manhattan moved up U to per
cent. Near the close Sugar suddenly
ran off to 101H. checking the rising
tendency in the general market. In the
final dealings the market was barely
steady. Net changes In the active
stocks show gains of al& per cent.
Sugar lost hi and some of the specialties
2a5 per cent. Total sales were 238,889
shares.

PHOTOGRAPHING THOUGHT.
Dr. Daradac Announces His Success
aud Show the Plates.
From the London. Standard.
It may be rash to pronounce that any
thing is beyond the photographer's art.
But the communication just made to
the Paris Academle de Medicine by Dr.
Baraduc Is so astonishing that If he had
made It before Dr. Rontgen had ren
dered his discovery public, very few
people would have been Inclined even
to Inquire into the matter. Indeed, Dr.
Baraduc affirms he has succeeded in
photographing thought, and he has
shown numerous photographs In proof
of his assertion.
His usual method of proceeding is
simple enough. The person whose
thought Is to be photographed enters a
dark room, places his hand on a photo
graphic plate, and thinks Intently of the
object the Image of which he wishes to
see produced. It is stated by those who
have examined Dr. Baraduc's photo
graphs that the most of them are very
cloudy, but that a few are compara
tively distinct, representing the fea
tures of persons and the outlines of

things. Dr. Baraduc goes further, and
declares that It Is possible to produco
a photographic Image at a great dis
tance: Iir his communication to the Acade
mic de Medicine he relates that Dr.
Istrate, when he was going to Cam
pana, at a distance of about 300 kilo
metres from Bucharest but before clos
ing his eyes he willed with all his
might that his image should appear on
the photographic plate of his friend.
According to Dr. Baraduc that marvel
was accomplished. Journalists wno
have examined the photograph In ques
tion state that it consists in a kind
of luminous spot on the photographic
plate, in the midst of which can tw
traced the profile of a man.
