BEWARE OF MORPHINE.
Mrs. Plnkham AbIcb Wornon to Book Pormanont
Ouroa and Not Moro Tomporary Rollof
From Pain.
Special forms of suffcrlnir lead many
woman to acqtilro tho morphine habit.
One of these forms of sufToring is a
persistent pain in tho side, accompanied by
heat ami throbblncr. There is disinclina
tion to work, because work only increases
the pain.
This is only one symptom of a chain ot
troubles; sho has others sho cannot bear
to confide to her physician, for fear ox
an examination, the terror of all sensitive,"
modest women.
Tho physician, meantime, knows her condition, but
cannot combat her shrinking terror, 'lie yields to
her supplication for something- to relieve the pain.
Ho plvcs her n few morphine tablets, with very
prare caution as to their we. Foolish woman 1 Sho
thinks morphine will help her right along ; she be
comes its slave t
A wise and n generous physician had such a case ;
ho told his patient he could do nothing-for her, as
she was too nervous to undergo an examination. In despair, she wentto visit
a friend. Site said to her, " Uon't give yourself up; just go to the nearest
druggist's and buy a bottle of Mrs. Lydia B. I'lnkhtitn's Vegetable Compound.
It will build you tip. You will begin to feel better with the first bottle." Sho
didso, and after the fifth bottle her health was re-established. Here is herown
letter about it:
" I was very miserable J was so weak that I could hardly
get around the bouse, could not do any work without feel
ing tired out. My monthly periods had stopped and I was
so tired and nervous all of the time. I was troubled very
much with falling of the womb and bcarlng-down pains.
A friend advised me to take Lydia E. Piukham's Vege
table Compound ; I have taken five bottles, and think it is
the best medicine I ever used. Now I can work, and feel
fV5
y pains, since
bottle will prove what it can do." Mns.
crate all factional spirit and command the
cntlro voto of the party; and,
Whereas, We believe that the present
member of congress from this district Is
eminently lifted for that high station by
teason of his devotion to Republican
principles, his clean political record, his
exalted character as u man and citizen,
his long devotion to and practical sym
pathy with tho best Interests of the labor
ing people of tho state and his marked
executive ability In private business as
well as In public affairs, and
Whereas, We firmly believe If ho bo
named for governor by the next state
convention he will be overwhelmingly
elected and this great commonwealth will
have an executive who will seo that the
laws are faithfully and equitably executed
and tho finances of tho state cared for to
the best Interest of the people to whom
all the state funds belong, therefore be It
Resolved, That we present the name of
Hon. William Conned, of Scranton, as
our canilldato for governor, nnd hereby
Instruct the delegates now elected to use
their best endeavor and all honorable an 1
proper means to secure his nomination
by the Republican state convention.
Mr. Watson moved the adoption of
the resolutions which was done unani
mously. Mr. Hamilton then presented
this resolution.
ELECTION OF DELEGATES.
Be It resolved, Uy the Republicans of
tho Second legislative district of Lacka
wanna county, In convention assembled,
that upon tho adoption of the Crawford
county system of conducting primary
elections by the county convention of Re.
publicans of this county, the rules so
adopted shall be decreed and taken, and
are (hereby declared to be in effect and
force In this legislative district, and all
primary elections held in the district
thereafter, shall be held under and In ac
cordunco with the rules thus adopted,
and thereafter the primary elections for
tho election of delegates to Republican
stato conventions in said district, and
for nominating candidates for the legis
lature shall In their respective years be
held at the times nnd places fixed In said
years for holding primaries for nominat
ing the Republican county ticket, and the
returns of such elections shall be made
at the same time and to the same placo
Indicated for county returns.
Mr. Hamilton made a short speech
urging tho adoption of the resolution,
which he said wn3 a necessary step to
Insure a uniform method of holding
primaries after the county organiza
tion had adopted the Crawford plan.
His resolution would not go into effect
until such action had been taken for
the county at large, he said,
Chairman Fleltz called Major J. W.
Oakford to the chair and, taking the
lloor, expressed himself as strongly in
favor of the resolution, which was
adopted without further debate. No
objection to It was offered.
Nominations for state delegates were
called for and O. II. Partridge named
Fred. W. Fleltz and George Knape did
the 8amo service for William Smith.
Edward F. Wenzel moved that the
nominations close and the election of
these gentlemen was made by acclama
tion. Mil. FLEITS REMARKS.
Mr. Fleltz was called upon for a
speech and after expressing his sense
of appreciation of the honor tendered
to him and his colleague, said so far
as their action in tho state convention
was concerned the convention had
properly controlled It so far as the gov
ernorship wns concerned by Instruct
ing them to vote for Hon. William Con
nell. It Is a source ot gratification to
Republicans of this county, he
said, that they have such a
worthy candidate to present for
the office of governor nnd It
must be no small gratification to Mr.
Connell to know that even among
those who at times opposed him In the
party there was only one Idea, that ot
giving him a warm and hearty endorse
ment. With reference to the action
of the delegates concerning of
fices other than that ot gov
ernor, Mr. Fleltz said the conven
vtion had wisely left them free and
while nt the present distance from the
F)0 convention It was hard to say
ast what their nctlona would be, he
ast
wi
convinced that not only himself
colleague, but nil the delegates who
be elected In Lackawanna county
w1' ilo all that they can to secure the

services, vhllo he was a member of

In doshr. Mr. Fleltz referred to the
Cubtti qmuion and said the people
of th. conury can safely trust wise,

An Albany paper speaks thus of the
Yale musical clubs: "Yale came, saw,
and conquered. There were violets,
sweet violets, supposed by the poets to
be sweeter than all the roses, bloom
ing all over Albany's social realm yes
terday; Yale flags waving; Yale class
pins decorating the breast of the
maiden fair, nnd bonny blue ribbons
tying her bonny brown curls. When
ever Yale comes to town to tinkle Its
gay mandolins and plln-plunk Its jolly
banjos nnd to sing the rollicking- glees.
Albany Boclety just opens every door
nnd is hospitable. Judges and state
dignitaries of this dignified city once
tinkled banjos and sang songs them
selves, when they were Yale Juniors
and young. In a score of households
In Albany there are sons or brothers,
cousins or nephews 'in Yale,' and as a
result Albany fairly beams on the gal
lant youths, teas them, suppers them,
dines them, dances them, nnd .tends
them on their way rejoicing."
The managers of the Florence mis

She wns a smalt woman and ns laden
with bundles she dropped down In the
nearest corner of the street car, Mon
day noon, she groaned audibly. An ac
quaintance, across the aisle, remarked
In a tone tinged with curiosity:
"Thought vou expected to move this
week?" "We are movin'," the tired
little woman replied, from behind her
rampart of parcels. "We have to get
out before night, but there was a bar
gain sale or two that I wanted to go
to and I went."
He was an elderly man; in fact, he
rather antedated the elderly man
usually seen nowadays, for his hair
was parted strictly In the middle of the
back of his head, but he stood In front
of a shop window yesterday afternoon
and gazed for a straight half-hour at
the opening hats there displayed. No
woman with a purse Crammed with
crisp hills and an Easter bonnet await
ing her selection ever viewed more
critically the display in the milliner's
showcase.
"Going to make bonnets for boys at
the Dickson works!" exclaimed a
Scranton woman last evening In a tone
of surprise, as she Interrupted her hus
band, who was reading aloud the news
of the day for her benefit. "Well, if
that don't beat all the millinery open
ings! But I nlways did say that there
wasn't anything this town wouldn't at

The new estimates committee of
select council was appointed yesterday
by President Chittenden. Its members
are C. F. Wngner, chairman; GcorRe
Sanderson, T. J. Coyne, n. H. Wil
liams and Ed iu Frable.
A meeting of the Joint committee will
probably be held tonight, when will ho
prepared an appropriation ordinance
for presentation to select council to
morrow night. There will he no delay
In the drafting of the measure, as tho
appropriations which recently died will
be used as a base. The Republican
members, at least a majority of them,
are united on certain changes to be
made. The few items concerning which
no agreement has been nttemptcd will
bo considered during today, so there
will be no delay or misunderstanding
at the session of the whole committee.
In selecting the select estimates com
mittee. President Chittenden aimed to
nppolnt members from wards other
than those represented In the esti
mates committee of the lower house.
The remainder of the .select council
committee will be announced tomor

There was no hearing yesterday of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern company's appeal before the board
of revision and appeal for the elimina
tion of the assessment against the com
pany's buildings In Its rallrond yard.
The board received word In the morn
ing from Judge E. N. Wlllard, the
company's nttorncy, that It would he
inconvenient for him to be present.
F.arly In the nfternoon he telephoned
that he could attend, but the board was
not In session. Xo date for hearing the
Important appeal has been fixed.
Several weeks of diligent work Is yet
required before the board will have
finished the revision. Nearly all the
proposed Inspections have been made
nnd memoranda secured, but decisions
have yet to be reached on scores of
properties.
There Is no ground for the doubt that
members of the board whose terms
htive exolred as councllmcn have a
right to servo on the board. While the
election ot the board was wholly re
stricted to candidates from the coun
cils, any citizen might have been a
candidate. Those members of the
board whose terms as councllmen have
ended, will serve on the board until
the term of that body Is ended. A
precedent has been established, how
ever, and It Is doubtful If any but
councllmen will ever become members
of it.
The building committee or the board
of control Is visiting the public school
buildings In search of Information for
estimating tho repair and improvement
fund to be Included In the I89S appro
priations. The committee will meet
Friday night.
It was hoped the finance committee
oould report the 1698 estimates to next
Monday night's regular meeting, but
that does not now seem likely.
The high and training school com
mittee will this morning visit the High
school building for data on which to
estlmato the repair and similar ex
penses for that structure durlnc the
coming fiscal year.
At tomorrow evening's meeting of
the insurance committee, It is Intended
to decide upon a final report In the
boiler insurance proposals and end a
competition which has been unneces
sarily dragged along for several
months. The fault rested no less with
the old board than with the old com
mittee, but the time has been so
stretched that the -bidders seem Justi
fied in their requests that the matter
bo settled.
In view of tho closing of the schools
on Good Friday suggestions have been
made that the vacation, which con
tinues during next week's Institute, be
gin tomorrow. The teachers' commit
tee viewed the matter negatively, hut
came to no decision, as the schools
could not be closed tomorrow without
authority from the board, which does
not meet until Monday.
The supply committee will meet Fri
day evening.
Lute yesterday afternoon the board
of examiners for a plumbing Inspector
reported to Mayor Bailey the result of
the examination. Before Mayor Bailey
left his office two of the applicants had
called there to learn the result, but
were informed that the appointment
would not be made known until the
nomination went to select council to
morrow evening. Of the five appli
cants, one failed to finish the examina

Tho Work ot Erecting Them Is Soon

In tho very near future the work of
erecting the big office building on Lin

building, will begin. Work would have
begun before this If It was possible
for the persons who occupy the small
buildings on the site of the contem
plated structure to vacate. They will
be uble to move within the next ten
days, It Ik thought, and then the one
story structure will come down to
make way for a modern ten-story
building.

Women In Burmah are perhaps freer
and more contented than they are any
where else In the world, says an ex
change. Although Burmah la bordered
on one side by China, where women an
held In contempt, nnd on the other sldi
by India, where they are kept In thi
strictest seclusion. Burmese women
have achieved for themselves and havi
been permitted by their men to attain
a freedom of life and action that haf
no parallel among oriental peoples. The
secret lies probably In the fact that the
Burmeas woman Is active and indus
trious, while the Burmese man is in
dolent and often a recluse. Becoming
therefore, both by taste and habit, the
money earner, the bargainer and the
financier of the household, she has as
serted and obtained for herself the
right to hold what she wins and rp
epect duo to one who can and clops
direct and control.
Things are strangely reversed in Bur
mah. There man Is tho religious soul
of the nation and woman its brain.
Burmese women are born traders, and
it is more often the wife than the hus
band who drives the bargain with the
English buyer for the paddy harvest,
or at any rate she Is present on the
occasion and helps her easy-going hus
band to stand firm, So highly Is trad
ing esteemed that the daughter of well-to-do
parents, and even a young mar
lied woman, will set up a booth in the
bazaar, and gowned In a bright skirt
and white jacket, with a flower Jaunt
ily stuck into her cotleu black tresses,
she will start every morning with a
tray of sweetmeats, fruit or toys on
her head, and, with a gayety and grace
born of the suwhlne and the bounte
ousness of the land, will push a brisk
trade all through the short and sunny
day. The earnings made thus are the
woman's, nnd cannot be touched by her
husband.
WHY CUUANH It K II EI..
Some of the llensons VI hy Spain Is
Unpopular.
From Boyce's Monthly.
No Cuban, whether mnn, woman or
child, can venture out of his house un
less provided with a government li
cense, which costs from twenty-five
cents to $50, If he does he Is arrested,
Even the beggars ure not exempted.
The Cubans do not enjoy personal
security. In the midst of the most
profound peace and without any pro
cess of law they may be arrested, cast
Into prison, or deported. In December,
1880, General I'olavleja had 265 persons
seized In Santiago, und Sagua de Tan
nmo and deported them, without any
trial, to the penal colony of Fernando
Po, In the coast of Africa, there to
perish by fever.
The Cubans do not enjoy freedom of
thought and expression. The news
paper writers Cepeda and Lopez Ilrl
nas were banished from the country
because they ventured to criticize the
government, while Scnor Manuel A.
Balmaceda was tried by court-marshal
In November, 1891, for having published
an editorial paragraph In relation to
the shooting of the medical students In
1871. The newspaper EI Pals has been
suspended several times and the editors
subjected to criminal proceedings for
having mildly pointed out glaring
abuses on one occasion simply because
It called attention to the tact that the
son of tho president of the Supreme
court was holding an office contrary to
law.
The Cubans do not enjoy the right of
holding public meetings. They may
ask the authorities' permission to do so,
and It may be granted or refused. If
granted, and this Is very seldom tho
case, an official Is deputed to be pres-
m&W
Washington
129 Washington
nnco of the meeting whenever he may
think proper. Even associations are
forbidden to hold general meetings.
Such has been the case with the Asso
ciation of Planters and with the Asso
ciation of Artisans. Further yet, if a
Cuban wishes to hold a reception at his
house he must first obtain a license
and pay for it, otherwise there wHl be
'rouble for him.
The Cubans are taxed every year tr
the extent of J25.000.000 or $30,000,000, o'
.vhlch only some $700,000 Is applied tf
internal Improvements In the island,
when they are so applied, as a rule no
more than one-half or one-third of the
mm Is disbursed for that purpose. The
remalnder of the revenue Is applied as
follows: Eleven million dollars to pay
interest on the debt of Spain; $7,000,000
to pay for the army and navy of Spain,
and $8,000,000 for salaries to Spanish
employes in the Island and out of the
Island.

.MORE THAN ON'E MOON.
omettiliic About u Small Sntelliti
VUiich Is Little Known.
The earth has, it appears, more than
one moon revolving round it. The Lon
don Globe has an article on the exist
ence of n hitherto unsuspected satellite
of the earth from the pen of the dis
coverer, Dr. George Waltemath, of
Hamburg. One statement he makes Is
to the effect that the motion of our
satellite is somewhat quicker than It
ought to be, according to the laws ot
gravitation. The Hamburg astronomer
tells the Globe readers that he made
an Investigation of the records of re
markable spots seen before the sun.
Dr. Rltter, for Instance, when on board
a vessel, June II, 1855, on a voyage to
Naples, testifies having seen with bare
eyes and without the help of a tele
scope, on the sun's disc u dark round
body, moving apparently horizontally
from the right to the left. The body
went through one-third part of the sun
in about two hours, or a little before
the sun's setting. A similar spot was
observed In 1702.
The astronomer, after "giving dates
and reasons for his belief, says he Is
able to compute the orbit of the little
moon and its dimensions to the utmost
exactness. Its mean distance from the
earth Is 640.000 miles, Just 2 2-3 of the
large moon's distance. The amount of
the diameter is 435 miles, the area
covers nearly 000,000 square miles; that
in more than ten times the surface of
England nnd Wales together. The sur
face of this second moon seems to re
semble that ot the black meteorites
sometimes met with falling from tho
skies. Its power of reflecting the sun's
light is so small that, as a rule, Its
body will only be seen by the help of
a strong telescope.
What Could lie Meant
"Wel.l" said tho merchant to the young
clerk whom he had sent out colclcllug,
"did you have any luck?"
"Some."
"I suppose you got the nmount Mr. Far
therington owes? You said ho was a per
sonal friend of yourH'.'"
"No, 1 didn't get the money. The fact
Is, I don't exactly know what to make of
my experience there."
"How was It?"
"I went 'In and said: 'Mr. Fathering
ton, I called to ppeak about a matter'
I didn't get any farther; ho put In with,
'That's all right, my boy; sho Is yours;
take her and bo happy' " I'lck-Me-Up.
