BUSINESS LIKE
PLAN OF RELIEF
It Has Deen Drafted by d. II. FUlier of
This City.
TUB INTENTION IS TO PROVIDE A
MEANS Of ASSISTING THE f AMIL
1ES Of MEN WHO ENt.ST WHERE
THOSt: LEFT BEHIND ARE IN
NEED Of ASSISTANCE - FROVIS
IONS .MADE POR PAVING A SMALL
AMOUNT TO DEPENDENT ONES
Of THOSE KILLED.
The following plan outlined by Mr.
CI. tl. Fisher Is Intended for a per
fectly systematized and huslnoss-like
plan of furnishing relief to the families
of soldiers uway at war, who have left
their families without adequate means
of support. It will necomillsdi the fol
lowing deslralile objerts;
1. Assure to mieli tanilllcs ns nre in
peed of help u weekly sum of not to ex
ceed W.Ou.
'J.-Assure them. In cane of the death of
the soldier durliiK th- war or within nix
months after Its termination from causes
t'oniicetrd with his service as a soldier of
the I'nlted Stati s. u sum not to exceed
JSOO. enough to enal.le thetn In most enses
to llnd suitable means of support.
3. Supply them In cases of excessive
sickness with mcdlc.il treatment und nec
essary medicine.
4. Relieve the anxiety of men at the
front coneernins the welfare of their
families.
5. Remove the fiar of want from the
families of patriotic men who woidd like
to sene their country actively, but are
deterred 1 this obstacle.
. Kimble men. women, hoys and girls
who di-sln to render patriotic seivlce. Imt
rannoi g to the- Iront. to hear a share of
the burden or actle warfare, otherwise
fulling exclusively upon the soldiers and
their families. It bops without s.i.lng
that the present arrangement Is unfair,
nnrt does not give opportunity for the dls
play of patriotism on tho part of non
combatants. 7 - Furnishes a means of forwarding
supplies, dainties, medicines, elothlnK,
etc to the front, or, when called for, to
Cuba for the poor and starving there,
after the manner of the sanitary commis
sion of the Rebellion. As soon as Cuba
Is opened, it will be necessary to forward
supplies In large amounts, and an or
ganized means should be furnished for do
ing this: If not, the work will be done
sporadically, as It has been thus far.
where half the effect Is lost through the
lack of system In doing It. There is no
ono who will not want to help In this
work ns soon as It Is ready, and an op
portunity Is herehy Riven for every per
son to do his or her share.
RAISE PLTNDS QUICKLY.
8 -At the eloso of the war It furnishes a
means for quickly raisins funds, it de
hired, for a soldiers and sailors' monu
ment, or other token of regard that the
people may seo (It to raise In honor of the
dead.
9. Equalizes tho burden of relief work
by enabling thoso In thinly settled dis
tricts, and In sections from which few en
list, to do their share In helping sections
from which many go and where tho bur
den of helping tho families at homo would
fall too heavily to bo carried effectively.
These ends will bo accomplished by
organizing tho relief work by coun
ties, every contributor In the county
sending his or her money In to a com
mon fund, from which all disburse
ments will be made, and by or through
which organization all supplies would
be forwarded to the front or to Cuba,
as soon as the need arises.
Tho organization for this county will
be called the Soldiers' Hcllef Commit
tee of Lackawanna county. Pa., and
those of other counties will bear simi
lar names. It will have as president
an Influential citizen of this city. It
will havo as secretary, another citizen,
who will give part of his time to the
work ns his patriotic service to the
country; and as treasurei, preferably,
a man of such prominence and stand
ing ns to Inspire universal confidence.
Since tho last two handle trust funds
they should be bonded for a suitable
sum to cover all thnt they may havo
at any one time, this not from dis
trust, but as n measure to Inspire still
more confidence in tlie business-like
conduct of the work.
DUTIES OF PRESIDENT.
The duties of the president will be
those usually falling to that office.
Those of tho secretary will be to re
ceive and pay out money, keep records,
print pledges and see that they aro
distributed, keep tiles of persons pledg
ing and tho amounts and payments of
each, send out notices that pledges are
due whenever the funds In the treas
ury fall below some sum decided upon
by the executive board, say $1,000, $2,000
or $11,000, etc., seo that auxiliary com
mittees nre organized In every ward
and township of the county to push
the work locally, keep In touch with
the work In other counties and states
nml with the state and national ex
ecutive boards, get free transporta
tion of supplies to the front and to
Cuba, agitate for legislation exempt
ing the checks used by the Soldiers'
Kellef Committees from tho war tax,
attend to the payment of doctors' and
druggists' bills for soldiers' families,
etc, ns opportunities for furthering
this good work may present them
selves. He will do most of this
through necessary clerks paid out of
the lommon fund.
The treasurer will receive money
from the secretary as fast as he col
lec ts it, keep it In bank, and pay It out
In cheeks at tho order of the secre
tary, and keep records of same. Both
pocretary and treasurer should make
monthly reports to ho published with
out charge In the county papers.
The work will be carried on locally
by auxiliary committees. The auxili
ary committees will get pledges by n
house to house and store to store can
vas', through churches. Sunday schools,
day schools, unions, lodges, secret so
cieties, etc. Tho pledges will bo booked
In pads, of ten each and distributed ad
libitum, until every one who has any
desire to give, Is reached, and when
ever the funds need enlargement
again. Whenever the -rotary sends
out notices through the papers that
pledges aro due, these committees will
make It their work to seo that they
nro paid In, and to forward the money
to the secretary. They will determine
what families should bo helped and
for what sums weekly or jn case of
death, recommend the payment of doe
tors' and druggists' bills, collect sup
plies locally and forward same cither
direct or through tha rounty, state or
national secretaries.
AI;XIt,IARV COMMITTEE.
An auxiliary commlttco can be
formed in every school, church, lodge,
etc., and In n public way In every ward
nnd town. Any body of relief workers
In the entlro county can become, If lti
members so desire, a separato auxiliary
committee. This has tho double effect
of both sytematlzing tho work through
out tho wholo state and nation, und
of allowing to those, who havo to do
tho local work, that completo freedom
from regulations, sot rules and red
tapo which Is bo necessary to enthusi
astic and cffcctlvo work.
Tho auxiliary committees will bo af
filiated with th county officers thus:
Tho chairman of each auxiliary com
mlttco will bo a vice-president of tho
county executive board. Tho title will
bo first vice-president, when the chair
man Is n man, and second vice-president
when tho chairman Is a woman,
but In cither case thcro wilt be no dif
ference in relative lmportunco In tho
executive board. Where there are sev
eral largo towns or cities In a county,
tho work can be sub-dlvlded as much
as is considered desJrable, and the city
or town can be represented nt Its
pleasuro either by several vice-presidents
or by one. In tho latter case or
ganizing tho whole work in one large
auxiliary committee. These details
enn bo worked out In cch case.
Tho money will bo pledged, not ne
cessarily In large amounts, but In
monthly sums, this being better as giv
ing more permanency and regularity
and being less of a burden, nnd of
maintaining the interest In the work.
Tho pledge will read somewhat like
the following:
I, tho undersigned, do pledge not to ex
ceed ( per menth to the work of the
SOLDIERS' REMEF COMMITTEE Of
LACKAWANNA COUNTY, PA., the
same to bo duo and payable promptly to
the secretins' on receipt of notice from
him to that effect, such timu being not
oftcner thuti onco each month, and then
only when tho funds In the treasurer's
hands shall huvo fallen to or below $1,W0.
This pledge to bo in force during tho pres
ent war with Spain und for six months
after its termination.
It is understood that in case I tnko up
arms In active service or (In caso tho
signer Is a female the person upon whom
I rely for support, then this pledge Im
mediately shall be null and void.

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND.
Tho management and direction of the
funds nnd the purposes for which or
ganized efforts shall be made, will be
determined by a county executive
board. This board shall he composed
of the county president, secretary,
treasurer and vice-presidents. It will
also attend to having tho secretary's
and treasurer's accounts audited at
suitable Intervals.
The county committee shall continue
during the present war. for six months
after, and longer if such be tho sense
of the members. At the time of its
dlsbandment the money on hand or to
be raised by a final assessment will be
applied to whatever purpose the mem
bers determine, by postal vote, cither
n return pro rata, or to some patriotic
monument or the endowment of some
institution as a lasting and useful me
morial of the county's dead.
This work can ho organized In nny
and all of the counties of the state and
In other states. Tho county committees
can organize into a secretary, treasurer
and vice-presidents, the latter being tho
presidents of the county committees. A
national committee and executive board
can bo organized in like manner, and,
if desirable, a permanent organization
can be maintained for whatever emer
gencies may arise In tho future. The
entlro relief forces of the United States
can in this manner be systematized Into
an organization ready to be turned at a
moment's notice Into whatever good
work may, in our country's coming his
tory, demand the efforts of Its good
and patriotic people.

OPHIUCUS TAKES
ISSUE WITH COLES
The Dunniorc Astrologer Disagrees
Willi Storms and Signs.
HE BTATES THAT THE BEAUTIFUL
NEW STAR IS THE PLANET VENUS
AND INTIMATES THAT TUB WRI
TINGS Of THE KINGSTON EDITOR
AND ASTROLOOER ARE MISLEAD-1NG-WHEN
TO PLANT.
Written for Tho Tribune.
Tho editor of "Storms nnd Signs" In
his May Issue makes mention of tho
beautiful star which he predicted
would appear (!), nnd calls special at
tention to tho harm Its message fore
tells. The whole story is misleading
to a letter, and seems written for no
other purpose than to cause n sensn
tlonnl and somewhat bothersome story.
This "beautiful star" Is the planet
Venus, which anyone might know by
referring to almost nny almanac, nnd
on the 22nd It will bo In conjunction
with the moon, as will bo seen In the
almnnao marked "conjunction Venus
moon"; In other words the moon will
pass that degree of longitude which
Venus holds, thereby appearing to pass
each other. The editor also calls at
tention as to how tho moon will pass
(Venus) tho "beautiful star" whether
north, south, or greet It In a friendly
way! Surely tho "professor" was In
great haste to get his pamphlet In tho
press, for no ono who would think a
moment could mako such a muddle of
It as ho did; yet the effects he assigns
to It are fallacious. If he means
whether Venus or tho moon will set
first, there is no necessity of guess
work asi this can bo told years before
hand. AS TO VENUS.
About 7 p. in. on the 22nd of May the
right ascension In arc of Venus Is ap
proximately 86 degrees, 7 minutes and
Its declination 21 degrees, 32 minutes
(geocentric.) "This event" he further
states, "may cause high gales and
fierce storms sometime between the
19th and 23rd." 'Such events are only too
probable to occur, but It bears no rela
tion whatever to the "beautiful star,"
Its cause being the continued formation
of mutual aspects on the 20th Inst, caus
ing tho magnetic currents to be very
powerful. His story seems to be a mass
of superstitious nonsense Intermingled
with self-praise egreglously. A to the
remaining portion he writes, It does In
no way concern the writers, but It Is
lamentable to think how many can bo
lead away from the true teachings of
the astral forces.
AN EVENING STAR.
The planet Venus will be a beautiful
object on account of Its size and bril
liancy, and It will be an evening star
until Dec. 1st, when It forms an In
ferior conjunction with the Sun, nnd
after this it will set before tho Sun
and therefore become a morning star.
It will turn retrograde on the 11th of
November this year, and up to that
date It will bo an object worthy of no
tice In tho northwest sky. Just after
sunset. On Sunday, May 22nd, Uranus
Is In opposition with the Sun, and when
the Sun sets, Uranus will rise In the
southeast, followed by Saturn. Jupiter
is also an evening star now in right
ascension 1S1 degrees and is nearly as
bright as Venus.
WHEN TO PLANT.
The best days in May for planting
corn, beans (pole or dwarf) grain, let
ture, flowers, etc., are the 3, 4, 5, 6,
from 7 to 10 a. m. nnd 3 to C p. in., and
on the 30th and 31st from 6 to 8 a. m.,
and 1 to 3.30 p. b. The best days to
plant melons, cucumbers, pumpkins,
radishes, etc., are the 23, 21, 25, from
6.30 to 8.30 a. m and from 2 to 4.20 p,
m. These dates may be relied upon.
for the good "Storms nnd Signs"
may do, we wish it every possible suc
cess. Ophlucus.

HEALTH HINTS I'Olt SOLDIERS.
Some Prnctical suggestions Offered
Concerning 'I ropicul Fevers.
from tho New York Sun.
In the coming military operations In
Cuba the enemy that our troops fear
most Is the yellow fever. Tho full
blooded northern constitution Is par
ticularly open to Its attacks, and, as a
rule, succumbs to them more readily
than one seasoned to the conditions of
a tropical climate.
Yet there are certain simple precau
tions that may be said to Insure im
munity from this dreadful disease. The
first Is to choose, in the case of troops
a locality for encampment above tho
fever level. This, as a rule, Is nbout
three hundred feet above the sur
rounding country, if marshy or covered
with Jungle, or If close to tho coast
about the same height above the sea
level. But a hundred feet or so high
er Is still better. There Is, however, a
good natural Indication of the fever
limit that may be studied with ad
vantage, which Is tho height In any
given locality to which the night mists
rise above the country level. Those
spots that remain uncovered can be as
sumed to be safe camping grounds,
Where possible, troops should not
be exposed to tropical night air; for.
though there may be no yellow fever
about, there Is ulways more or less
danger In the germs of malarial fever
that find congenial conditions In robust
northern constitutions. The hours be
tween the dissipation of the night mists
In the morning and sunset are without
danger even in ordinary bad fever lo
calities. Then there are personal precautions
that should not be neglected. The
principal precautions look to tho avoid
ance of chills, generally the most fer
tile cause of tropical fevers. Damp or
wet underclothing should be changed
as soon as practicable, and never slept
In under any circumstances. Cotton
and woolen clothes next to the skin aro
tho safest, particularly the woolen;
linen should be especially avoided.
In the matter of food, heating and
stimulating nrtlcles of diet and drink
should bo partaken of only at the even
ing meal, nnd then only moderately;
never In the daytime. When night work
has to be done, such ns sentinel or pa
trol duty, tho men going out or coming
In should receive a small quantity of
tolerably strong black coffee without
sugar or with very little of It, and al
ways without milk, which in tropical
climates Is apt to produce digestive de
rangement. A dash of good rum or
other pure spirit In the coffeo will do
no harm, and a soldier should always
be provided with some hard biscuits
in his haversack to munch whenever so
inclined.
Where troops aro encamped on rivers
or creeks, the drinking and cooking
water should be taken Invariably from
up stream, and never below or in the
Immediate vicinity of the camp, Tho
quality of the water for drinking pur
poses can always be determined by tho
medical oillcers, and there is nothing
related to the hygleno of an army that
requires more careful attention. Weak
cold tea, with a squeeze of lemon or
lime Juice In It and not oversweetened,
Is an excellent and most refreshing
drink on the march, and should be
carried, whenever practicable, In the
soldiers' water bottles. The great thing
Is to sea that the materials composing
the food and drink of tho soldier while
engaged In operations In such a climate

As the efficiency of an army, large or
small, depends on the health of the men
composing It, everything that promotes
their health should bo the special care
of the officers, whose duty Is not only
to know how to fight and lead, but to
see that their men are In a fit condition
to fight. The morale of an army Is also
promoted by the attention given to the
physical condition of its units; and this
Is an additional reason why that condi
tion should be kept up to the highest
possible point.
Those ofllcers who give their best at
tention to this side of their profession
arc not less deserving of tho approval
of their countrymen than those who
perform some dashing exploit on the

naval and commercial service. The firm,
.Instead of relying, as was formerly the
custom, on foreign lensmakers, has a
fine lensmaking plant of Its own, where
not only are the lenses ground and
polished, but the special glass required
Is prepared in a large sweating fur
nace heated with crude oil vaporized
by heated compressed air. The prepar
ed glass is placed In fire clay molds
of the shape of the rough lens, and the
heat Is gradually increased until the
glass "sweats" down between the
halves of tho mold and the surplus
oozes out from the sides. The mold is
then placed In an oven and burled in
red-hot sand, and the temperature is
gradually reduced over a period of two
weeks. The glass, when cold, has be
come thoroughly annealed, and will
stand the severe heating and chilling to
which It Is exposed In the searchlights
without risk of breakage.
