I Personal i
It la probable thnt never In the his
tory of Scranton has there been such a
universal liciilra of people from the
city durlnc the summer season. Here
tofore many have cone for a longer
or shorter time, hut Just now the wo
'man of noclnl nfllllntlons who Is caught
down street of n morning feels like a
second edition of the Oosablnncn boy
"on the burning deck whence nil but
him lind fled." People of all classes
tsoem to have been seized with tho
gfiieral fad for lllUlnff and therefore
have flitted. The Indication of all thin
Is that there must really be little finan
cial distress In our city and that tho
i rosptcts of the autumn are bright.
The golf links are uttcily deserted.
In other towns which boast a Coun
try club, there are enough society peo
ple left who brighten tho verandas
and dot the course with their bright
costumes as they play a match or sit
and chat during the summer mornings.
The Scranton Country club Is practic
ally an abandoned farm this season
and I don't believe that anybody
knows whether a railroad track Is
laid through It and locomotives arc
wildly cavorting down the linked hlll
nlde, or whether a herd of buffalo la
not rusticating In the groves.
' These people who went away during
hot July, unless they went far north
ward have not been having what the
summer girl could truthfully call "a
' perfectly lovely, Bwoet time"
For 'twas sticky down In Jcieey,
And 'twos foggy up In Maine;
At th? lake 'twas suffocating,
In the mount.iirs It did rain.
And all-present and pervading, t
Whero he'd ne rr been before,
'Was tho lurid, wild moqulto
On a buzzy hunt for gore,
i
' Mrs. B. M. Winton gave a pretty

if ONE WOMAN'S VIEWS.
It's a pity that President George San
derson, of the select council, or some
other person high In authority, would
not follow tho exnmple of the illus
trious Gugsenhcimer. of New York, and
introduce a swearing ordinance In
Scranton. It does seem to me that ever
since the war began an unusual amount
ot profanity has been heard on the
streets. Whether men In general havo
unconsciously adopted the sensatlounl
style ot yellow JournallBin In tluir
avidity after "extras" or whether In the
excitement of the day they simply throw
off restraint In conversation; strong
expletives are heardJar too frequent
ly. Of course men ot culture and ac
customed to refined surroundings do
no swear habitually, but recently it
does seem that other people beside the
drivers of mules, the members of school
boards and those engaged In similar
trying duties, are not us choice in their
remarks as they might be. Why, even
a little 4-year-old shocked his fam
ily tho other day by observing that
his father was a fool, qualifying the
same with a very strong ndjectlve. On

"My little girl was sick for several
month with typhoid fever, and alter shu

My husband got her a bottle of Hood'a
Barsaimrltla, saying it would make her
eat and glvo her strength and it did.
Hho hud taken it only a ihort time when
aho waa well and Btrong. Everyone who
aeci her is surprised at nor improvement

The only worse offender to good taste
than a profane man is a vulgar woman.
These nro tho days when tho veterans
may often bo seen In llttlo groupa
gravely discussing tho great drama of
other years and recalling the hardships
in Held nnd cntnp3. There is u certain
odd llttlo feature of these protracted
conferences which appeals to tho
thoughtful listener and that Is tho un
acknowledged sense of grievance which
ninny of them ecom to possess. Scarce
ly definable as such, this sentiment is
only noted when one of tho group will
say: "And these boys think they had It
hard! Well, they Just ought to havo
been In that Georgia swamp or on tho
border of tho dead lino at Llbby," or
In some other terrible npot forever cru
elly branded on tho memory of those
who lived through the awful experi
ence. Then they sigh and shake their
heads and fall to comparing the pres
ent with tho past. I wonder If they
think for a moment that tho young en
thusiasm of our soldier boys of today
will detract the veriest atom from their
peril nnd their bravery of other years.
1 wonder If they fancy that ever so
slightly the brave deeds of today nro
obscuring tho glory which surrounds
tho heroes ot the Civil War. Ah, no.
Tho American people aro Impulsive to
a fault. They will go half mad with
patriotic ferver at tho mention ot
Dewey and Hobson, nnd Just now they
want to promise "Teddy" Roosevelt
overythlng from the next presidency to
the Immediate jwsltlon of secretary of
war or a general choice of whatever his
heroshlp may happen to desire, but ten
derly, sweetly, proud in their hearts
dwells the reverence for the brave
deeds of thlrty-flvo years ago, for the
matchless sacrifice that made the pres
ent victories, and all Intervening and
future prosperity, possible. What If
today there Is much talk of the depriva
tions nnd the patriotism of our soldier
boys In the war with Spain, the heroism
of the past shines none the less bright
ly and not one laurel leaf will bo
plucked from the brows of living or
dead who won It through pain and
danger nnd death.
. .
She was old nnd gray nnd poor. She
wore a black bonnet nnd veil that had
done service as a tribute of sorrow for
the lost husband of her youth, for the
little baby, the first-born of the happy
homo when they were prosperous, and
for tho fair young girl whose early
death brought a pain to the mother's
heart that has never since been stilled.
Now she was wearing It for her sol
dierher only son und support.
"I could bear It better," she said
brokenly, "if he had been killed In bat
tle; then I flhould feel that the sacri
fice had been of some use to his coun
try. But what good did It do any
body in the wide world for Tom to go
down there and suffer from exposure
nnd unhealthy food and water,- and
then waste away in fever?"
"Ho wan such a good boy," she add
ed pathetically. "He never made mo
an hour's worry In his life till he en
listed and went to camp. He gave me
all his savings before he started to keep
me ti ' ho should come homo, and he
even s-nt me his camp pay and there
he needed things nnd went without it
so his mother could have enough. My
poor sick boy and I never knew, and
there he died and I couldn't be with
him and never before in his life did he
have even a headache and me not close
by to pet and take care of him and get
the things he liked. Oh, dear, to live
without him all tho days, to never see
him coming In with his bright eyes nnd
cheery smile!" Then the tears crept
down her wrinkled checks feeble little
tears, for sometimes there are sorrows
that drain tho fount of their flowing
dry and she was but one mother ot
many in all the broad land today who
weep for the sons that are not, and,
alas, there must be ninny more to
mourn the fruitless sacrifice!

FASHIONS AT NEWPORT.
Military Caps, Yacthing Costumes,
Bicycle Suits, Plaided Hosiery,
White Silk Waists, Bathings Suits
and Diamond Ping Brooches.
Newport. Aug. 12. Tho Newrort
wrap is always Important, from thu
llufiy silk or chiffon cape thrown
around the shoulders as an ornament,
to tho rich colored or black velvets,
sparkling with Jet or jewelled passe
menterie, seen In afternoon drives on
Ocean or Bellevue uvenue. A short,
minuty cape In plain red, white, green,
salmon pink or blue, lined with plain,
striped or brocaded silk, and a severe,
straight around collar, trimmed with
military braid, Is the novelty In wraps,
and needless to say, thu national colors
have the preference. A very' hand
some blue one seen here has five gilt
frogs, und tho same number of black
passonienterlu ncross the front, with
hi nail gilt braid on the velvet collar.
These are unfortunately suitable only
fur young people, consequently portly
dowagers must not dispense with their
shields of frills und burbelows,
WHITE PIQUE
Is tho foundation of nine out of ten
stjllsh yachting suits, and bands of
contrasting cloth stltchd on the skirt
match the Jacket rovers (or lining)
and cuffs. Heavy linen or serge nro
subject to the same rule, and these
lands may bo put on at regular Inter
vals,, two together, or three near tho
lower edge, then two, then one. The
effect of a cilmson Jacket and crimson
bands on white pique Is very pretty,
and white bands nro used on black
serge as well. Fluffy lace fronts some
wnat relieve this severe style, nnd sai
lor or Alplnp hats trimmed with scarfs,
wreathlnps and quills nre usually more
becoming than yachting caps.
CONSPICUOUS BICVCLE SPITS,
do not meet with general favor at
Newport, therefore tho large majority
have skirts of plain or mixed cloth la
quiet hues of white pique or linen,
yorn with shirt waists on warm days,
or with pbiln cloth Jackets which
fchould not match the skirt; tho only
trimming being n contrasting cloth
collar, rovers and cuffs. Gilt buttons
on bluo cloth are admissible and when
checked material Is employed for a
skirt, bias bands piped with contrast
ing cloth gives an attractive finish.
WOOL HOSIERY
has proved too warm for summer use,
consequently heavy lisle thread has
been su Instituted and a "cuff top" of
silk btrlpes in gay rotors Is both pretty
and novel. In nnother style, tho stock
ing Is so loin; as to meot tho supporter,
and midway between tho knee and
anklo Is a band ot silk stripes, which
gives a handsome flnlsh to a high boot,
und looks well with a tow Bhoo. For
ordinary use, combinations of plaids
or stripes aro iri the gayest of gay col
ors, at the same time, for early morn
ing white is preferred. Tho bright
Plaids aro dunned later in the day, and
Vi ulntf. with onload drPSM, the
clnn plnlds, or any other plaid, nro
very stylish. Tiny colored silk sprig
on black silk Is in favor, or open-work
black silk, while white silk slipper ho
siery shows hand Inserted lace bands
on tho instep bordered by open-work.
BATHING SUITS
nre more ornate thnn ever this season
and those who desire to bo dashing and
conspicuous wear white mohair, tho
revers, vest nnd sleeves trimmed with
fanty crimson nnd white soutache
braid. Tho prettiest suit seen hero
this summer Is of maroon colored ilnn
)!, with white mohair vest, having
pointed rows of maroon and white sou
tache braid ut the centre, with a loop
of brnld at each point, nnd rovers,
s'.eovcs nnd belt trimmed to match.
"White, wavy braid on blue flannel with
or without a large, white sailor collar,
Is nttractivo without being obtrusive,
and although brllllnntlne Is tho most
populnr material, a wool vest beneath
Is necessary to avoid taking cold. The
people who bathe for a renewal of
health or strength, use tho old-time
bluo flannel, r.s it Is best ndupted tu
general requliemcnls.
NEWPORT PEOPLE
aro particularly careful regarding
gloves, and a single button white buck
glow Is the accepted ono for morning.
Four-button suede gloves figure later
in the day, and the mousquetalre stylo
become mor popular as the season
advances. Long white silk or lisle
thread glovea with lace tops an: used
for bathing by the elegant fashlonlsts.
Tho newest Illustration of the loved
red, white nnd blue Is seen In flng
brooches ot diamonds, rubles nnd sap
phires, with the thirteen original stars.
Another expensive device Is the com
bination of the Cubnn and American
flogs, In similar stones, a diamond of
some size being at the top of each flng
stair. Fannie Field.

TEN YEARS
AGONY
ROM ECZEMA
CURED BY CUTICURA
For ten years I suffered untold agonies from
Eczema, my lower limbs being go swollen and
broken out that I could hardly go about. My
brother, a physician of thirty years' practice,
und other physicians of splendid ability, tried
in vain to effect a euro and signally failed. I
became absolutely disheartened, and had Inst
all hopo,wkcn a friend induced mo to gito
CuiicunA Rbmkdies a trial. I used two
cakes of Cuticura Boap and two boxes ot

Great values that come from painstaking preparations and big purchases.
Absolutely the best goods that the market affords for less money than
you'll pay elsewhere for inferior qualities. We make you feel at home
while here. We positively guarantee a saving on all the goods you buy.
We deliver your goods free of charge no matter where you live.
Still Giving Away Shoes
From maker to wearer direct at cost and less
than cost. That's giving them away, isn't it?
You ask "Where do we come in ?" And we
tell you frankly, it's the public confidence we
must have in shoes and in everything else.
We'll waive all our rights to profits for the time
being. Just you buy the shoes and realize how
good they are.
