"Washington, March 22. Secretary
L'llss today made public an Interesting
letter from Governor John G. Brady,
of Alaska, containing tho observations
made by h'lm while on his annual trip
of Inspection to the various i o.ts on
the coast. While passing up the Lynn
canal, the governor says, the ollleors of
the ship he was on saw a piece of
wreckage, which was afterward ascer
tained to be part of the ill-fated steam
er Clara Nevada, of whose crew or
passengers not one was left .to tell the
tale. Special attention, he says, should
be paid to vessels navigating tho Yu
kon. At Yakutat It was found that every
thing that had been reported to the
navy department regarding the condi
tion of affairs there was correct. The
governor speaks of the practice of
witchery which seems to exist to a.
considerable extent In that part of the
country. He tells of a man and two
women who were bound and tied for
bewitching a man. On tro ninth day
the bound man was released, and as he
had been given nothing to eat and but
a few drinks of water he was in a
shocking physical condition. The gov
ernor spent some time talking to these
people, and after explaining the laws
of the United States, told them that
in the future he would not deal lenient
ly with those who practice witchcraft.
About a dozen miners were at Yakut
at, wanting to proceed to the head of
Disenchantment bay. Thence they
were to cross over the glacier to tho
Olesek river, where they intended to
prospect, and afterward proceed to the
White river and get back to the St.
1211ns range of mountains.

PERILS OF AFFECTION,
Few People Realize Mow Cxhaustlnz the
tender Sentiment Is A Physician's
flood Advice.
"There Is no way by which people
exhaust themselves, or kill themselves,
so quickly as by exorcising tho affec
tions." This striking remark was made by
ono of the best physicians In America,
Ho was a man who had studied deeply,
observed keenly, and knew men and
women thoroughly. Continuing, he
said;
"Sentiment is a grand, a lovely thing,
and the world cannot live without It,
but the exercise of the sentiments In
variably exhausts. (People may not feel
it, but it Is true nevertheless. A man
or a woman wears out, breaks down,
and then wonders at tho cause. There
should be no occasion for wonder. I
have explained tho cause."
"If the men and women of the nine
teenth century do not feed tho fcrces
that produce sentiments, affections,
feelings, they are certain to break
down, to become exhausted, nnd to die
before their time. Do not tell me these
things are theories, for they are solemn
facts."
"You nsk mo what I would do," he
continued. "I answer: Begin to feed
these forces; feed them constantly;
feed them with the best and most sci
entific discovery you can secure. If
you ask me what Is the best, I unhesi
tatingly say it Is that grand prepara
tion which has been so long before the
people and Is so popular, Warner's Safe
Cure. I know that It possesses powers
known to no other discovery, nnd I
know that thousands of men and wo
men cannot live without It today. If
you will stop and think, or ask your
friends, you will see that what I say Is
correct, and I believe be led to try It
at once if you have not already done
so."
The facts stated by the doctor and
the advice he gives are sound. It Is
absolutely true that many men and
women are enabled to live and enjoy
life entirely through the power which
this great remedy gives them, and there
are thousands of others who need to
follow in the same path.
SIMOVITCII IS INSANE.
Man Drought Unck Irom Kansas City
Sent to nn Anvllim.
AlexanderSlmovltch.the North Scran
ton man who was arrested at Kansas
City and brought back to this city on
March 15, to answer a trumped up
charge of burglary preferred by one
of his neighbors, Powell Petroskl, is in
sane. Petroski was Slmovltch's bondsman
In a case of assault and battery with
Intent to kill and when the accused left
the city for New Mexico, Petroski fear
ing he would have to pay the amount
of the ball bond trumped up the charge
of burglary and had Slmovltch arrested
at Kansas City and brought back here.
Then Petroski withdrew from the re
cognizance and had Slmovltch commit
ted to the county Jail. Since his com
mittment Smovltch has shown unmis
takable evidence that his mind is
breaking down. Ho has refused to eat
and has done many eccentric things.
He was examined Monday by Jail
Physician Donne, who pronounced him
Insane. Yesterday court made an or
der for the removal of Slmovltch from
the county Jail to the insane depart
ment of the poor farm.
A similar order was made In the case
of Michael Majlnsky, who Is serving a
term of imprisonment for malicious
mischief. He tried to wreck a Delaware
and Hudson passenger train at Peck
vllle several months ago. Some time
after h'ls confinement It was discov
ered that he was suffering from soft
ening of the brain. Ills condition is
now such as to make it necessary to
remove him to an insane asylum.

by tho calling of the roll on tho passage
of tho ordinance. He started to speak
hut said ho would wait until his name
was reached.
ALLEGATION REPEATBD.
When his name was called Mr. Roche
repeated his allegation against Mr.
Torrcy "who put tho money In his
potoket." MJu. Tlocho specified his
charge by saying Mr. Torrey drew $2,
000 salary when he was legally entitled
to only $l,G0O, the former amount hav
ing been provided In the appropriations
and not by special ordinance. Mr.
Roche said the Republican members
knew It was illegal and were a party to
it.
Democrats nnd Republicans nllke had
many Individual measures to consider
under the various heads of business
but they seemed anxious to prevent
nny further outburst and adjourned, a
few voting negatively.
On a tie vote early In the session Mr.
Kearney's motion was lost to take
from committee the ordinance award
ing damages to Peter Lyn'ett for prop
erty Injured by water on West Market
street.
City Engineer Phillip's estimate of
$50,000 for paving Lackawanna avenue
from the bridge to Washington avenue
and the latter to New York street was
received and filed.

engineer was referred to the city sol
icitor for action:
Tho contractors (Thornton & Co.) for
tho construction of tho Fnrber court lat
eral sewer is unnecessarily delaying tho
work on said contract, mid In fact they
have done no work since tho 20th day of
February. On March 9 I addressed a let
ter, to tho contractors, notifying them
that tho work was being unnecessarily
delayed and to proceed with the said
work within ten days or I would bo com
pelled to notify councils of the delay as
per spccllleatlcns. '
Up to date no move has been mado to
proceed with tho work and I desire In
structions from your honorable bodies as
to how I should proceed to havo this work
completed.
DRIVING PARK BRIDGE.
An Important communication from
Street Commissioner Dunning wns re
ceived In reference to the Driving Park
bridge. He wrote that of the $1,000 ap
propriated In 1S97 for a new wooden
bridge only $396 remained, the balance
having been re-approprlated for other
purposes. He had spent $30 for repairs,
but $500 would be required for a new
wooden structure. An iron bridge was
needed, however, and if funds were not
forthcoming the present unsafe struc
ture would be closed.
A concurrent resolution was received
from the lower branch directing the
city controller not to sign any war
rants In favor of Thornton & Co. for
work on the Farber court sewer until
labor claims had been paid. Mr. Finn
thought the resolution should not pass,
as assignments to the amount of $300
had been made as long ago as last De
cember In favor of a Scranton bank
for money loaned. Mr. Roche's motion
prevailed that the matter be referred
to the city solicitor for disposition, no
action to take place meanwhile preju
dicial to labor claims.
' Mr. Sanderson Introduced a resolu
tion directing the city clerk to notify
the board of control that after April 1
the city will cease to pay for light and
heat in the rooms occupied by the

STREET CLEANING ORDINANCE.
To the ordinance providing for clean
ing paved streets by contract, Mr. San
derson offered two amendments, one of
which was defeated. One amendment
provided that the street commissioner
may except streets or avenues that
property owners may desire to keep
clean under arrangements similar to
the present method whereby the city
bears part of the expense. Mr. Fellows'
motion to table the amendment was
carried by a vote of 15 to 5, Messrs.
Thomas, Williams, Chittenden, Lan
sing and Sanderson voting negatively.
Mr. Sanderson's amendment that the
successful bidder furnish a bond of
$5,000 was adopted.

Whereas, Thero arc hundreds of thou
sands of dollars and, much time and ef
fort expended In thH state every yea;,
tn text books, and in teaching the evil
effects of tobacco on tho human system,
and
Whereas, This law Is being constantly
violated and set at naught by those who
sell clsaiettes to the youth of our city,
nnd realizing that ej.amplo is much more'
potent than precept; therefore wo here
by protest against the use of tobacco
by tho teachers of our public schools,
and believing such use by these teache.s
counteracts the teachings of the text
oooks and Is detrimental to the moral
character of tho students and places a
great temptation in the way of the young
men under them. Therefore, bo It
Resolved, That we hereby urge the
board of control to use their Influence on
these teachers to the end that they do not
by their example counteract the teaching
of the text bocks, and thus encourage the
violation of the law, and because hun
dreds of our youths nre being destroyed,
both In mind and body, we appeal to
your honorable body tr- use jour best
endeavors, both with tho teachers and
tho violators of the law. You are tho
guardians of our schools, therefore, of
our youths, and to you more than to any
ono elso belongs the enforcement of this
law.

A POPULAR MISTAKE.
ltcgnrdlng Itomi'dlus for Dyspepsia
nnd ludlgrnllon.
Tho national disease of Americans ia
Indigestion or in Its chronic form, dys
peiwla, and for the very reason that It
Is so common many people neglect tak
ing proper treatment for what they
consider trilling stomuch trouble, when
as a matter of fact, Indigestion lays
the foundation for many Incurable dis
eases. No person with a vigorous,
healthy stomach will fall a victim to
consumption. Many kidney disease
and heart troubles dato their begin
ning from poor digestion; thin, nervous
people are really so because their stom
achs are out of gear; weary, languid,
faded out woman owe their condition
to Imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet
Is allllctcd with weak digestion It Is
not surprising that nearly every secret
patent medicine on the market claims
to bo a cure for dyspepsia, as well as
a scoro of other troubles, when In fact,
ns Dr. Worthier says, there Is but one
genuine dyspepsia cure which is per
fectly safe and reliable, and moreover,
this remedy Is not a patent medicine,
but It Is a scientific combination of
pure pepsin (free from animal matter),
vegetable rs'sences, fruit salts and bis
muth. It Is sold by druggists under
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
No extravagant claims are made for
them, but for Indigestion or nny stom
ach trouble, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are far ahead of any remedy yet dis
covered, 'lhey act on the food eaten,
no dieting is necessary, simply eat all
the wholesome food you want and these
tables will digest It. A euro results,
because all tho stomach needs Is a rest,
which Stuart's Dyspepola Tablets give
by doing the work of digestion.
Druggists sell those tablets at 50cts
per package. Little book on stomach
diseases and testimonials eent free by
addressing Stuart Co., chemists, Mar
