We Call
Your Attention
FIRST To exceptional bargains in our
Cloak and Suit Department.
SECOND To our " Duchess May" Gloves
that have no peer for one dollar.
THIRD To three items in Dress Goods
that ought to be of interest.
FOURTH To cut prices of Millinery that
you can't afford to miss.
FIFTH To the character of the 25-Cent
Dinners served in our restaurant.
Three Bargains in we
.Mit v
Cloaks and Suits
offer them to you as bai gains. Then it is that we know a
much abused word has meaning "bargains" here means
something.
Today the term appiies to three things in pjiticular :
Our Duchess May
Gloves at $1.00
We have laid
the Duchess
May Gloves
alongside of several makes that ate
sold in town for $1.50 and no dif
ference could be detected in the two,
The "Duchess May" maintains ev
erything that is characteristic of
glove goodness and we save you
a half in the price. They come in
all the newest shades and tints
and the price is one dollai. We
KNOW you can't beat them for a
half more,
Millinerv
Goodness and
Millinery Cheapness
It s not
always
the
quantity
that goes on a hat that becomes its
beauty; it's the ait of picking out a
few choice things and daintily clus
tering them togeter. Oftentime
that art counts considerably in the
price.
Thus we ate able to olfer you to
day your choice of trimmed hats
that verc S.3.93 for $2.50
and can assure you of their bargain
realness. Not a gieat many of
them but enough for today.

number. We c.in accommodate in

than anywhere in the city. lUMilliraiit In Ilaseiiiciit.

FIRST YEAR'S WORK
AT THE HOSPITAL
mOVES THAT IT WAS A MUCH
NEEDED INSTITUTION.
Largo Number of Scranton's Most
Representative People Gathered in
tho Albright Library Hall Last
Night nnd Listened to tho Inter
esting Repoita Presented by tho
Oiilceis with Reference to tho Work
Done by the Hahnemann Hospital.
Brilliant Address by Dr. Helmuth.
A Kuge nnd distinguished audience
filled Albright Memotial h.vll last eve
ning mi the occasion of the Hist nn
ntinl meeting ot the Hahnemann hos
pital. The tables on tho platform were
pedestals for the choicest roses and
magnlilcent specimens of chtysunthe
nuiins f i oiu the hot houses of Colonel
II. M. Holes On the platfotni weie
seated Mrs Heniy Helln, Jr., Mts. M.
II. Ilolgate mid MIh Hmellni' K. Rich
mond. The piesldent, .urs. H. M. Holes,
wus umnoldubly absent.
In Hie audience with Mis, A. M
Dedtei, was Mis. William Tod Hel
muth. whose gieat executive ubillty
and Hire intellectual poweis have giv
en her an enviable position among the
v omen of Ainetlcn, thoiands of whom
she has been able to help nnd uplift
with her intcust.
The st"-slun opened with piajer by
llev. '. M filHlii, pastor of Kim Park
chinch.
J. Ilenjamln Dlmmlck, who piesldeil
over the meeting, made a few Intio
diutory luniniks, which were peiullaily
littltifi and gave a concise and clear
outline of the woik. He stated that
when but little more than fifteen
months ago steps weie taken toward
establishing n Homeopathic hospital in
this city theie wns a seilous question
as to the need of such mi institution
nnd the possibility of vectnlng support.
The basis of the work was made for
a peilod of two jears, nnd both ques
tions have already been answered in
the ntllrmatle. The hospltnl Is an ae
(oinplished fact. It is eomnletely
equipped, most neces.soiles hae been
supplied, and now tlio management has
rhlcflv to consider ways and means of
instituting plans for an nmbulanee,
resident phvslrlan, a dispensary, etc
It Is no longer a question as to tho
elhtencc of a hosnltul. it exists, nnd
the dominant note Is tather of satis
faction than of fear and doubt as to
possible results.
WAS GOOD MAXAGn.MHN'T.
Thero are no Inige endow nments nor
surplus funds, but there is a manage
ment that knows how to keep down
expenses. That tho higher nnd loftier
lesults .lie most considered nnd thnt
the end and aim Is noble indeed Is il
lustrated by the fact that during the
year ,500 days of tieatment of chni
Ity patients is lecorded. It is with the
deepest satisfaction that the work ac
complished Is loed and with abid
ing confidence for the futuie. The
.-poalcr iiad faith In common humanity
nnd lc"eed It unnecissaiv to I'tge
the cuitlnuunco of support of money
or t-crvlce or of flowers.
The i orrespondlng secretary, Mrs.
M II. Ilolgate, then read an ndmliable
and Interesting report, which was loud
ly applauded. It clearly showed that
the Hahnemann makes a. dlstim t point
of Heating liarlty patients. The re
port was us follows:

A training school for nurses was estnh

During tho short interval between her
tlrpnrturo and the ecurlng of the services
of the pirsent oitlclal, tlio post was filled
acceptably by Mrs, Tooker, of New York.
Miss Smith conscientiously discharges
the trying duties of tho position and is
pidislng alike to management, hospital
staff and putlonts. The various com
mittees hnvo labored zealously In thei
discharge of their respective duties.
The house committee has had u most
devoted chairman In Mrs. A. M. Decker
who, with her co-laborers, has eparod
neither tlmo nor effort In looking well to

Backache is one of the most common of
woman's troubles and one of the most
wearing1.
It is not an acute pain, but a most dis
tressing, wearying- sensation, making- work
almost impossible and indicating- disease
of the feminine organs.
A common mistake is to treat backache
in women with local external applica
tions, calling it "a little spinal imtation "
or a "touch of rheumatism."
Do not be deceived ;
means serious trouble
the cause of it is removed.
All uterine and ovarian diffi
culties are relieved by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.' Such relief
progresses in almost every
case to a complete cure
With relief of these troubles
backache disappears.
Mrs. M. E. MULLER, J 6 Franklin St.,
Providence, R. I., writes :
Hrvr. Mns. 1'ixkiiam: I hnvc lieen

ful, ut times I could not walk stiuight. Kovv 1 nm nll

You do not know how tlinnkf til I nm that I havo pot

metlieiiio is the best that I havo ever used. I advise all
litdtsto try it. nnd 1 nm suro it will pivc unbounded
satisfaction. I will recommend it to every friend 1 have.
niss LIZIE KOELLA, 529 Tocumseh St.,
Toledo, Ohio, writes :
Dr ui Mr.. I'iskiiam: 1 cannot praiso your Vege
table Compound enough. Tor nliout a year I was
tiick vv .Ui the backache. I could not work, could
not Bleep at niplit, and did not care to live. About
two months ago I saw your advertisement in a
paper, untl thought I would try your Compound.
To-dav I feel like a new person. I am lustentov
iny health ; never felt ho good in my life. I have recommended your Vegetable Compound to many
of my friends, who arc now using it, and think ie is just bplcndid.
A woman of experience in these matters understands women, and
Mrs. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass., has a wider experience than any physi
cian, male or female. She offers you her counsel free of charge, and it
is a friendly, sympathetic counsel. No man sees your letter or its
answer at any time, and to secure the best advice it is necessary that
you should be perfectly frank, this you can be to one of your own sex.

"Mr. Comvoll Is not a sensational
praachcr In the generally accepted sa
ACKACHR
speaks earnestly
this discouraging
your backache
for you unless
of that toim. Ho often speaks on top
ics of current Inteiest, but he also
pleaches what might bo called doc
tiinal sermons. Ills gospel Is the gos
pel of love, lie never saws the air
with theatrical gestures and never
uses violent language to attract the
attention ot tho newspapers. He bus
a slow, dellbeiate ppeech, a resonant
voice, uses tho simplest words, leeltei
anecdotes, gives much popular infor
mation in his talks, rises to elocpienco
occasionally, nnd nlvvays speaks ex
tempoiaiKously. Hi has not written
a seimon or address for ten jenrs and
often cliingts his sublect after he
takes his place In the pulpit,"
