Jones, of North Hyde Park nvenue, launched Into the grocery business. And, more over, tho whole thirty years are consec utivo and were spent upon this side. Twenty-five years In one building, whore he still is, at 1109 Jackson street. Few. If any, of the business men of this city, can boast of that many con secutive years of actual business ca reer, nnd yet Mr. Jones Is not looking; forward to an early retirement. His fifty-six odd years rcst lightly upon his shoulders, though his hair nnd mous tache are long since gray. His store Is a rendezvous for some of the old pioneers of this section and many an Interesting tale one can hear by dropping In some afternoon when business Is slack and a few of the older ones nte exchanging comparisons of "what Is" and "what has been." Born on December 28, 1541, at Cnr bondale, he was one of a family of ten children of Mf. and Mrs. Daniel Jones. His father wns one of the enrllcr mine operators nnd very successful, though when the war occurred ho lot nearly everything. Shortly after Mr. Jones' birth, the family removed to Newcas tle, Schuylkill county, but after a two yenrs' residence there they moved baok to Carbondalo In 1853 the subject of this sketch worked In tho old rolling mills and later In the "Sandy Banks," or the present Pine Brook mines. The coal was taken from a drift then and tho screens were worked by hand in tho "coffee pot" breaker. He later spent a couple of years learning the tailor trade under Tailor George Evans, famous In the early days of Scranton. In 1S57, after returning from a west ern trip, he entered the employment of the well-known Arm of D. T. Richards and Esdras Howell, who kept the big grocery store near the old "White Tav ern." He wns with this Arm six years, and two years more with Thomns Ey non and company. Ho again went west nnd returned in the early part of 186S determined to bo into business for him self. April 7, 1868, he bought tho firm of Stark and Cannon, at 103-7 South Main avenue, and conducted his business trwre for five years. He then removed to the store property at 1109 Jackson street, which he had purchased and has remained there since. Mr. Jones has been an active Repub lican and wns city assessor for several years. He Is a Mason, Belonging to the Hyde Park lodge, a member or tne Frnnklln Engine company, the Repub lican clubs, nnd the West Side Board of Trade. He has served upon the offi cial board of the Simpson Methodist Episcopal church since 1855. The one thing outside of his business which Mr. Jones temembfrs most clearly Is the vicissitudes of being the first vigilant of the Fifth ward in I860, appointed to the office by Mayor E. M. S. Hill.

EVERY SPRING OBITUARY. r'flE&m imPli i33$W vvs " N The System Needs Renovating ami Purifying. As pring ap proacho s, the north pole be comes more tilt ed towards the sun.whlch brings the sun more di rectly overhead. The rays becom ing more perpen dicular, are hlgh- ly charged with electrical power. This new relation between the earth and the sun produces a class of physi cal disorders peculiar to spring. The symptoms are quite unlike in different cases, but the most common ones are general lassitude, played-out, tired-out, used-up, run-down feelings, combined with a more or less heavy, stupid, list less mental condition. Relish for food and the ability to digest food seem to be lost. Skin eruptions, sallow com plexion, bllllousness, coated tongue, fit ful Irregular sleep, help to complete the picture which Is so common at this season. Life Is a burden, business a dread, pleasure a mockery, friends a bore, nnd social privileges o tedious round of disagreeable tasks. Pe-ru-na so exactly meets all these conditions that tho demand Is so great for this remedy at this season of tho year that it Is nearly Impossible to supply It. Carloads of Pc-ni-na aro shipped north, south, east and west to meet the ever Increnslng demand of tho people for It. It never falls to bring Immediate relief. Mrs. B. A. Harrison, Rlson, Ark., says: "Nothing too good can be satd of your medicines. They are better than you represent them." Send to The Pe-ru-na Drug -Manufacturing Company.

From the Troy Times. By the constitution congress nlone has power to declare war. The consti tution confers on the president the whole executive power. He Is bound to take care that the laws are faith fully executed. He la commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States nnd of the militia of the several states when called Into actual service of the United States. The president has no power to In itiate or declare war either against a foreign nation or a domestic state. He Is authorized to call out tho mllita and use the military and naval forces of the United States In case of Invasion by foreign nations, and to suppress In surrection against the government of a state or states. If a war be made by Invasion of a foreign nation, tho president Is not only authorized but bound to resist force by force. He does not Initiate the war, but is bound to accept the challenge without waiting for any spe cial legislative authority. The battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, In the Mexican war, had been fought before congress passed an act which recognized "a state of war as existing by the net of the republic of Mexico." Th act of congress not only provided for the future prosecution of the war, but was Itself a vindication nnd rati fication of the act of the president In accepting the challenge without a pre vious formal declaration of war by congress. (Prize cases, 2 Black's U. S. Reports, 635.) It has been Judicially declared that tho civil war commenced April 19, 1SC1 (Swlnerton v. Columbian Ins. Co., 37 N. Y 147; Burnslde v. Matthews, 64 N. Y., 78), when the ports of the confederate states were blockaded by the naval power under a proclamation of the president bearing that date. Still, we know that hostilities commenced before that date, for on April 12, 18C1. by the special order of the secretary of war of the confederate states, lire was opened on Fort Sumter. April 15 Presi dent Lincoln Issued a proclamation calling forth the militia of the several states to the number of 75,000, and de claring certain states In rebellion. Still, congress did not "declare war" until July 13, 1861. Thus It will be seen that while the president has no power to Initiate or declare war, ho Is authorized to resist force by force, nnd to accept tho chal lenge of any power to battle without waiting for congress to act.

HOARDING HOUSE GEO.UKTllY Our anthracite coal fields were first dis covered by a hunter named Nlcho Allen, during tho tlmo George Washington was president. Allen encamped one night In the Schuylkill regions, kindling his fire upon some bluck stones. Ho went to sleep near tho lire, and awoke to find himself almost roasted. Tho stones were on lire, and unthrucito wns burning for tho first time. A company was orgunkitd shortly after this for the purpose of sell ing this coal, but met with little success. It was taken around to tho blacksmiths, but thoy, not knowing how to use It. would havo nothing to do with It. Somo of It was shipped to Philadelphia by a Colonel Shoemaker and sold there. It was so unsatisfactory that a writ was gotten out from the city authorities de nouncing the colonel as a knave and a scoundrel for trying to Impose rocks on them for coal. THE POPULATION OF SCRANTON Scranton Is about 110,000, nnd we would say at least one-half are troubled with some affection of the Throat nnd Lungs, as those complaint! nre, according to statistics, more numerous than others.

A Hlnglo room Is that which has no parts and no magnitude. The li.udlndy of a boarding house in a parallelogram, that is, nn oblong angular llgure, which cannot be described, but which Is equal to any tiling. A wrangle Is the disinclination of two boarders to each other that meet to gether but nro not on tho same flat. All tho other roonn being taken, a sin gle room Is said to be a double room. POSTULATES AND PROPOSITIONS. A plo may bo produced any number of times. The landlady can be reduced to her lowest terms, by a series of proportions. A bee lino may bo made from any boarding houso to any other boarding house. The clothes of a boarding house bed, though produced ever so far both ways, will not meet. Any two menlH at a boarding houso uro together less than two squaro meals. If from tho opposite ends of a boarding house a line be drawn, passing through all the rooms In turn, then tho stovepipe which warms the bourdcrti will lie with in that line. On the same bill and on the same sldo of It there should be two charged for the same thing. If there bo two boarders on tho samo Hat, and tho nmount of side of the one be equal to tho amount of side of the other, each to each, nnd the wrangle be tween ono boarder nnd tho landlady be equal to the wrangle be-tween the land lady and tho other, then shall the weekly bills of tho two boarders be equal aleo, each to each, For It not, let one bill be the greater. Then tho other bill Is less than P rUht havo been which Is absurd. Truth, Academy of flusic Rels & Hurgunder, Leucet. II. K. Lone, Local .Manajsr. ONE SOLID WEEK, Commencing .Monday, April 11.
