Incrrsoll's Lecture.
Editor of Tho. Tribune.
Blr; 1 want to thank you' for the ex
cellent report of Colonel Ingersoll's lec
ture ns contained In The Trlbuno Tues
day morning. It was full and, us far as
I can Judge, fulr. 1 also agree with your
editorial comments In Wednesday's Iksuo
that there Is no necessity lor "good
friends worrying lest the reporting of
Colonel Ingersoll's lecture might upset
Christianity." I Intend to report him fur
ther next Sunday evening under tho cap
tion: "There was a man sent from Satan
whose namo was Robert." It Is quite
likely that ono of tho reasons why he
la an "agnostic Is that there Is money In
It for him," Store light on Ingersolllsm
will roveal Its effervescent and evanes
cent character.
Yours, etc.,

I BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Sir. Southworth gave another delightful
recital last evening at his pleasant studio,
when n talented and charming pupil, Stlss
Elslmore Ketchnm, of West Pittston, was
hrurd fop tho first tlmo In ftcranton. Bho
gavo a classical programme, which In
cluded numbers never attempted by a
pianist of ordinary gifts. Her rendering
of the Inst movement of a SIcndrUxohn
concerto with Mr. Southworth was an In
dication of tho treat In storo for her list
eners. Her technique Is brilliant, and her
work In general betrays much originality.
Her pluylng of the Chopin Bnllado was
remarkable for the Interpretation of tho
plnlntlvo theme. In tho Schumann num
bers tho crisp beauty of her touch was
exceptional. In the Ornnd Valse, by Stosz
kowskl, her brilliance of touch was
marked, while tho dainty graco of the
1 Izt number was perhaps tho climax of
the series.
Sllss Cordelia Freeman, accompanied by
Sir. Southworth on the pluno, sang with
the splendid vigor and sweetness for
which her volco Is so remarkable, three
exquisite selections. Few sopranos give
such undeniable and unvarying satisfac
tion as this favorite slnser. Sir. South
worth Is to be congratulated for the abil
ity always evident In tho pluno pupils
whom he Introduces to the musical circles
of this city from time to time, In which
Sllss Ketcham would be a decided acqui
sition. Street Commissioner Dunning could
take a valuablo tip from the action of his
predecessors In offlce, Klrst and Kinsley,
whereby the streets and crossings In the
business section of the city wero kept
reasonably clear of slush. There Is a
city ordinance which not only requires
tenants and ptoperty owners to keep
sidewalks clear of snow nnd Ice, but also
Imposes upon them tho duty of removing
the sfiow from the gutters. If this had
been done yesterday and Wednesday some
of the down-town crossings would not
have been sens of wuter and muck and
almost lmpnssable last night ns a re
sult of the llsht rain. There was not a
crossing In tho territory bounded by
Lackawanna avenue, Spruce and Linden
streets, and Washington, Wyoming, Puvi
and Franklin avenues, which could be
forded without wet shoes. At any point
It was necessary to wiggle across by a
route which led to all points of tho corn
pays, and before the pedestrian had made
tho passage from curb to curb the
chances were that he had at some trench
el ous point failed to tind solid footing
until his lower extremities had gone ker
plunk Into fjomo puddle of slush above
his shoo tops. The street commissioner
has neither the men nor tho money to
dear tho streets or crossings of snow,
but ho has the power to lessen tho dirty
bath nulsanco by the aid of the police
department. In post years patrolmen
have been nsslgned to notify every ten
nnt or property owner In tho district
bounded bv Slulberry street, Adams ave
nue, Lackawanna avenue and Franklin
nvenue to remove the snow and slush
from the gutters In front of their prop
erties within a certain number of hours
under penalty of nrrest. This scheme has
been worked successfully since 1S31. Ar
tests were made and in this neither ex
Commissioner Klrst nor ex-Commlsslon-tr
Kinsley was any respector of persons,
and several prominent merchants wore
arrested, fined and forced to comply with
the department's demands or the taso
against them was dropped on payment
of the costs nnd under promtso to clear
the gutters.
Tho Ladles' Aid society of the Dun
more Presbyteilan church met at tho
home of Sirs. Joseph Conostoci: yester
day afternoon, and the members enjoyed
a most pleasant and ptofltnble session.
A large atteidanco was present, and as
an Indication of the success of tho society,
it was announced thnt dues to the amount
ot more than 133 wero received.
The skies were not alone In thir weep
ing last night. There were others, and
they stayed at home ond did their weep
ing by the steam radiator, Instead of
laughing on a Jolly sleigh ride, as had
been planned.
C. R. Fuller nnd R. B. Penman leave
today for a month's stay In Reinvida.
They will sail on tho Trinidad tomorrow.
The many friends of Sirs. I. F. Ever
hart will be sorry to leain that she con
tinues to bo alarmingly HI at her homo on
Franklin avenue.

A BOY'S HARD LIFE.
Ho Bccnmo I)e (.pernio nnd Ilnn Awnr
from Ills Poster I'nrcnls. .
The case of Daniel Brogan, the boy
who wna arrested on a charge of In
corrigibility made by his foster-parents,
Sir. and Mrs. Anthony Brogan,
of North Scranton, brief mention of
which was made In The Tribune re
cently, was given a flnnl hearing be
fore Alderman John, T, Howe yester
day. From the statement by tho hoy,
Mrs. W. B. Duggan. agent for the
Board of Associated charities, believed
that his departure from his adopted
home was Justifiable, and for that rea
son Sirs. Duggnn appeared yesterday
In his defense.
On the stand Brogan, who Is 17 years
old, repeated his story of tho hard
ships heaped upon him by his foster
parents. It appears that when the
boy's parents died the Brogans, by due
process of law, adopted the son. He
lived with them Tor eight years and
two months ago, desperate to end his
troubles, the boy left home. He went
to the residence of Sirs. John Walsh,
of River street, where his ulster was
staying, and to avoid being detected
by the Brogans, who were looking for
mm, the boy changed his name to
Hagen.
Last Wednesday, however, the Bro
gans heard of the boy's whereabouts
and swore out a warrant for his ar
rest. The hearing was yesterday.
Tho boy said that he left home be
cause his foster-parents Ill-treated
him. They would not permit him to
go to school but Sir. Brogan compelled
him to work In a sand pit shoveling
sand into wagons. Ono day while at
work the sand bank caved In and the
boy was covered up. In digging him
out one of the other workmen struck
the boy's head with a shovel, inflicting
a deep and long gash In the scalp. The
wound had not healed, young Brogan
stated, when Sirs. Brogan one night
became angry at him nnd threw a cup
at hla head, re-openlng the wound
made by the shovel.
This was only an Instance of the
cruelties he suffered. He was com
pelled to carry beer for the Brogans
and was severely horsewhipped several
times. In eight years he was not al
lowed to see his sister, and when he
determined to escape the first place he
made for was the houso where the
sister was living.
Dr. G. A. Caldwell testified to sew
ing up the wound in Brogan's head.
Present at the hearing also was School
Controller John Gibbons, who, as a
member of the Board of Charities, had
become Interested In the case.
Sirs. Brogan, in defending herself
from the boy's statements, said that
the wound In his head was kept open
by a cold from which she said he suf
fered. Alderman Howe, after a conference
with Sirs. Duggan and Sir. Gibbons,
fixed the bail at $300 for the boy's ap
pearance at court to answer the charge.
Sir. Gibbons went security, and young
Brogan was taken home by Sirs. Walsh.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To (lain Fltth. to Sleep Well, to Kne-
What Appetite and Cood Dilution
Mean, Stake a Test of Stuart'a
Dysptpsla Tablets,
Interesting Eipcrlence of an Indianapolis
aentleman.
No trouble Is more common or mora
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
Peoplo having It think that their nerves
arc to blame and are surprised that
they nre not cured by nerve medicine
and spring remedies; the real seat of
the mischief Is lost sight of; the stomi
ach Is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not hav
any pain whatever In the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspep
sia shows Itself not In the stomach so
much as In nearly every other organ;
In some cases the heart palpitates and
Is Irregular; In othcra the kidneys aro
affected; In others the bowels nre con
stipated, with headaches; still others
are troubled with loss of fesh nnd ap
petite, with accumulation of gas, sour!
risings and heartburn.
Sir. A. W. Sharper, of No, 61 Pros
pect St., Indianapolis, Ind., writes as!
follows: "A motive of pure gratttuda
prompts me to write these few Hnea
regarding the new and valuable medi
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, t
have been a sufferer from nervous dys
pepsia for the last four years; hava
used various patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorable
result. They sometimes gave tempor- .
ary relief until the effects of the medi
cine wore off. I attribute this to my
sedentary habits, being a bookkeeper
with little physical exercise, but I am
glad to state that the tablets hava
overcome all these obstacles, for I havo
gained In flesh, sleep better and am
better In every way. Tho above Isj
written not for notoriety, but Is based
on actual fact."
Respectfully yours,
A. W. Sharper,
61 Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind,
It Is safe to say that Stuart's Dy4
pepsla Tablets will cure any stomach,

ness, palpitation, heartburn, constipa
tion and headache.
