At End of Sixth Inning Cnrbondalo and Honesdftlo Had 5 Runs Each. A fair sized gathering was that which assembled at Alumni park yes terday afternoon to see Carbondale defeat Honesdale nt baseball. After six Innings had been played, the score 6-B, the Maple City boys left to catch the train for home, while the dis gruntled spectators gave free expres sion to their displeasure. The an nouncement that In case the game ended In a tie another game would bo played next Tuesday for $50 did not pacify them In the least. They paid to see a game of ball, nine Innings, and there was no good reason why they should have been disappointed. To be sure the management needs the revenue of nnother game to meet ex penses but that fact hardly Justifies yesterday's shortage. The game might have been started on time, a half hour earlier, nnd been finished. However, the clubs were pretty evenly matched and when they meet again every lover of baseball should witness the contest. O'Oara pitched yesterday nnd aside from a little wild- ness at times did excellent work, keep ing Honesdale's hits few and scattered At 5 o'clock each club has five In nings and five runs to Its credit. LEO FRACTURED IN BED. Peculiar Accident to a Woman Who Resides Just Above This City. One of the most peculiar misfortunes recorded In the medical history of this section Is that of Mrs. Peter Ournow, who lives at the Ontario nnd Western railroad yard Just nbove this city. She has suffered a fever sore on one leg for twenty years and has been bed ridden because of It for the iast live years. Monday while turning in bed she heard two snapping sounds, which were followed by some pain. When Dr. D. L. Bailey arlved, he found that both bones had been fractured. Amputation will follow If the patient is considered strong enough to undergo the ordeal successfully. MULES CREATE A STIR. A team of mules from the Rlchmon dale colliery were frightened by tho Germnnla yesterday. A lad was hold ing them In front of Roberts & Rey nolds', but he became scured and jumped out. At the Harrison House the mules struck Ole Oleson's cab and turned the vehicle bottom side up and the hoi so was reversed In the thills. Opposite the Columbia hose house n light road wagon hooked to a horse stood near the curb The i una way mixed the wagon nnd horse up so thoioughly with a neighboring electric polo that the knot wasn't untied for fifteen minutes. In front of the rirst National bank William Evan' dray wagon nnd horse stood. The tear of the runaway struck the dray and shot horse nnd wagon into the middle of the sidewalk. At William Brunlg's bakery a" farmer with a wagon load of produce tried to scare the mules wide of his wagon by cracking his wh'p at tnem. They retaliated by cracking the hind wheels of ihelr vehicle against the market wagon. The farmer's team and wagon were doubled up like a pair of sclsors. The driver was scared so that he hadn't recovered his speech when he left town. AH these vehicles were considerably damaged. Several others were struck without any par ticular Injury being done Fortunately none of tho animals attached to tho wagons that were struck got away, though for several minutes It looked like a general runaway. Near Seventh avenue the wagon attached to the mule team turned upside down nnd was dragged along for about a block In that poslclou. Near KIghth avenue the team got tired ana quit. Their wagon was slightly damaged. It was repaired and the team joyfully hauled a load of feed back to Richmondale. COURSE OF ENTERTAINMENTS.

She will be Incapacitated for some time. COUNTY MAY HAVE TO PAY. Common councllmen at the last meeting objected to having the city building used for election contest purposes.

One of tho saddest, most Incrcdlblo revelations of Spanish atrocity In all this heart-thrllltng nnd despcrato war Is tho wretched multltudo of hopeless prisoners discovered In tho filthy dun geons of Cuba nnd Porto Rico. "Their ense Is oven more deplorable," says the New York Herald, "than that of the wretched rcconcentrados. These are men nnd women who have been kept In Jail for unconscionable terms, some on trumped up charges, some on no charges ut all. In soma Instances faded and worn women who had once been beautiful, guant and ragged men who had once been prosperous, could scarcely realize that prison doors which seemed forever sealed were at last opened to them." But If It Is a glorious and noble thing for this great country, with Its magnifi cent Illimitable power, to throw wide open the prison doors and release the miserable creatures so desperately ground beneath Spain's Iron heel, It Is no less n great and pressing duty of American manhood to thing of the ten thousand wives and mothers of free America whoso lot Is more pathetic and miserable than that of these wretched Porto Rlcans. WOMEN PRISONERS OF FREE AMERICA. These women of our own country with homes to shelter and hearts to love them, with nil the surroundings which ought to make life a pleasure and a blessing, are yet weighed down with an inward physical weakness which shuts them off from the sunshine and happiness of life, as completely and hopelessly as If they were Immured In the darkest confines of a Spanish dungeon. Sentenced to years of continual suf fering, weariness and distaste of living, their sense of melnncholy nnd despair filling even their own cheerful homes with prison-like gloom, the dally round of housework grows more and more irksome and dreadful until It finally rests upon them like the leaden routine of a jail. A woman whose life Is embittered and poisoned by the weaknesses or dis eases peculiar to her sex, cannot but feel that this penalty which nature has Inflicted on her Is more unreasonable than the despotism of n Spanish tyrant. How startling It seems that n true woman, x-apable In heart and soul of being a loving wife and mother, should, by sheer physical incapacity, be de prived of the crowning happiness of womanhood. A QUESTION FOR HUSBANDS. This Is something for every husband In the land to consider, and then deter mine If there be not something more than fine furniture and beautiful sur roundings needed, and which he can furnish to brighten his wife's existence, and to make his home, ns It should be, the ever-living source of comfort and Joy. No one can 'give an ailing, sensitive woman too much sympathy. Tho best of husbands cannot half appreciate what she suffers. If tho doctor Is called in, ten to one he will not diag nose the case correctly. Tho ordinary local practitioner has no special knowl edge of special diseases. He will prob ably prescribe for "indigestion" or "liver complaint" or "heart trouble," and never once reach tho real funda mental trouble lurking In tho organs distinctly feminine. The woman herself may hardly real ize where the cause of the whole diffi culty lies, and If she does, the thought of the mortifying questionings, "exam inations" and "local applications," which modest women dread, will deter her from speaking frankly. She knows tho doctor does not understand her case; she feels that his medicines are giving her no real help; yet she takes them In the vain hope that some way, somehow, she will be better In a little while. But no woman ever was or ever can be well while hidden nllment of this nature Is dally and hourly sap ping away her life. WHAT BOTH HUSBAND AND WIFE SHOULD KNOW. If every ailing woman could know what Dr. Pierce's wonderful "Favorlto Prescription" has done for countless thousands of her suffering sisters, fe male complaints would become almost unknown throughout the length and breadth of this country. This extraor dinary "Prescription" is tho outgrowth of thorough education, deep research and an almost unparalleled experience. Its originator, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y has devoted a long llfo of earnest effort to the study and treat ment of the various diseases peculiar to women. For thirty years, as chief con sulting physician of the famous World's Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, he has had a wider practical experience In this special field than any other physician .- America, y k T" . -rTTW rfr.: - Release ol Costa Rlcan Prisoners. VSSS' .&fr1rSS&'ija. Ho designed this morvolous "Pre scription" for the one specific purposo of healing, strengthening and purifying the distinctly feminine orgunlsm. It Is for this and nothing else. It heals nil ulcerative conditions and unnatural drains; overcomes all weaknesses nnd derangements; imparts strength to tho supporting llgnmcnts and tonic power to tho nerve-centers. There never was any other medicine so scientifically devised for the express benefit of womankind; there never was nny other which accomplished this pur poso so completely nnd permanently. It is a temperance medicine, not a mere Btlmulant. Thcro is no nlcohol In It, no narcotic drugs. Tho persistent uso of preparations containing such ngents is liable to awaken a morbid, Jntemperntto craving. The "Favorite Prescription" develops no bad habits. The health it bestows is natural, genu ine, vigorous nnd permanent. "I was sick for a long time with fc- l male trouble but paid little attention -Y e to It until last winter;" says Mrs. Lydia Craft, of Larwood, Linn, county, Ore gon, in a letter to Dr Pierce. "I mis carried and this left me In a weakened condition. I grew very nervous nnd despondent. I did not want to see any body; everything seemed so strange, as though I were In a strange land. I had such a disagreeable feeling In my head; It was not a headache but a drawing feeling and the top of my head was hot and painful. I had bearing down pains and my back hurt mo all the time. I could not do any work at all and could not sleep. I tried some pat ent medicine but got no relief. "I went to see the best doctor in Le banon. He said I had inflammation of the Inside lining of the womb. He treated me for a while and I u. not see much change. I wrote to Dr. Pierce and in due time received an encourag ing letter, advising me to take his 'Favorite Prescription' and 'Golden Medical Discovery.' I did so and am very glad to say It helped me steadily. I could see that I was gaining. When I wrote to you I weighed eighty-seven pounds, now I weigh ninety-nine. I can eat anything I want to, my appe tite is good, I can work all day and not feel tired ut night. I have no more bearing down pains. My head does not trouble me nny more at all and I feel better than I have for three years." "I feel it a duty to inform you that I had been n sufferer for many years from nervousness with nil Its symp toms and complications," writes Mrs. O. N. Fisher, 1SC1 Lexington avenue, New York, N. Y In an earnest letter to Dr. Pierce, "I was constantly going to see a physician or purchasing medi cine for this or that complaint, ns my troubles became unbearable. In the spring of 1897 my husband Induced me to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion. After taking one bottle and fol lowing your advice I was so encouraged that I took five more bottles of 'Favor ite Prescription' and then I did not take any more for several weeks as I felt so much better. "I am not now cross and Irritable, and I have a good color In my face; have also gained about ten pounds in weight and one thousand pounds of comfort, for I am a new woman once more and your advice and your 'Favor ite Prescription' are the cause of It, coupled with your 'Pleasant Pellets' which are not to be dispensed with. I will not tnke any more unless you so advise, for I do not see that I need it. I have often told my friends how I was cured, and have been no little surprised to learn how many of them also used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription with great benefit." For every critical period of woman's life this superb "Prescription" is the never-falling stay, support nnd com fort It fltp yourfg women to be happy, healthy wives and mothers. It gives prospective mothers physical and men tal strength to pass through the ordeal or motherhood with comparative com fort and perfect safety. It Insures re cuperative energy for young nursing mothers; and abundant healthy nour ishment for their babies. "When I look at my little boy," says Mrs. Axel Kjer, of Gordenvllle, Capo Girardeau, county, Mo., "I feel it my duty to write you. Perhaps some ono will see my testimony and be led to ute your 'Favorite Prescription" nnd bo hlesibed In the same way. This is my fifth child and the only one who came to maturity; the others having died from Jack of nourishment so tho doc tor wild. I was not sickly 'in any way and this time I Just thought I would try jour 'Prescription.' I took nine bottles and to my surprise It carried mo through ond gave us as fine a little boy as ever was. He weighed ten nnd one half pounds. He Is now five months old, has never been sick a day, and is so strong that everybody who sees him wonders at him. Ho is so Ida? lul and holds himself up so well. I would like to see this In print for so many have asked me, 'Do you think those are tho testimonials of tho people or hat Dr. Pierce Just made them up and printed them?' "1 do hopo that if any women have the came troublo that I havo had they will try Dr. Plerce'a Favorite Prescrip tion. Wo recommended it to one of our neighbors nnd she tried it nnd tho result is a fine big boy. Her two babies before this one were born dead, after she had suffered untold misery. She feels very grateful for the 'Favorlto Prescription. " A PLAIN DUTY. Every husband who feels that his wife's health demands the nttentlon of an expert, scientific specialist, nnd every ailing woman who is down-hearted and discouraged with weakness and Incnpaclty in a. womanly way, should feel absolute confidence In writing to Dr Plerco nbout these troubles. He will answer nil such letters phomptly nnd earnestly; nnd will give cnrefully considered, fatherly, profes sional advice without charge. He will prescrlbo simple and inexpensive self treatment whereby any woman, in tho privacy of her own home, may. In al most every instance, effect a comploto nnd permanent cure. Any reputablo dealer can supply you with Dr. Plorco's Favorite Prescription. A dealer who doesn't supply It to you doesn't want to. Some dealers would rather sell you a substitute on which they can make more than the fair profit which this great standard "Prescrip tion" allows them. Your health or Judgment Is of no account to such a denier. This kind of substitute is an Insult to your intelligence. Show him that you know what you want. Insist on Dr. Pierce's Favorlto Prescription, and you will get it. THE BIBLE OF THE BODY. 0"ne of the greatest medical books of the present century is Dr. Pierce's thousand-page Illustrated Common Sense Medical Adviser, it has been termed "Tho Bible of tho Body" be cause what the Bible Is to the soul this book Is to the physical man. Two thirds of a million copies were sold at $1.60 each. The profit on this enormous sale Induced Dr. Pierce to Issue a new edition in paper-covers which will bo sent absolutely free one copy only to ono family on receipt of 21 one-cent stumps, to pay the bare cost of mail ing only, enclosed to World's Dispen sary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. Or send 31 stamps if n heavier, handsomer, cloth-bound copy la de sired. In ono chapter of this grand book nearly a hundred pages are devoted to the consideration of the diseases of women; with an account of many se vere and obstinate cases which by means of Dr. Pierce's scientific, common-sense treatment were promptly relieved and permanently cured.
