These three lots represent garments that actually sold at from $12.50 to $25.00 each this season, and at the new prices $7.50, $10.00 - $12.50 each, are the greatest bargains that ever came from a Scrautou Cloak Department. In point of materi als, style, tailoring or general get-up, they cannot be surpassed in elegance for any amount of money. You can depend on being properly fitted if you call today, but sizes are low in some styles, and when the smartest garments of the day are offered at the very height of the season, at fiom 3 J per ceut. to jo per cent, below actual values, the prospect for keep ing sizes iutact for many days is slim indeed.

A woman with the blues is a very un comfortable person, She is illogical, unhappy and frequently hysterical. Tho condition of the mind known as "the blues," nearly nlways, with wo men, results from diseased organs of generation, It is a source of wonder that in this ago of advanced medical science, any person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spirits nnd nerv ousness in women. These troubles ara indications of disease. Every woman who doesn't under stand her condition should write to Lynn, Mass., to Mrs. Plnkham for her advice. Her advice is thorough com mon sense, and is tho counsel of a learned woman of great experience. Head the story of Mrs. F. S. Benhktt, Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol lowing letter: " Diiah Mna. Pinkham: I have suf fered for over two years with falling, enlargement and ulceration of tha womb, and this spring, being in such a weakened condition, caused me to flow for nearly six months. Somo time ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you for advice. After using tho treatment which you advl&ed for a short time, that terrible flow stopped. "I am now gaining strength and flesh, and liavo better health than I havo had for tho past ten years. I wish to say to all distressed, suffer ing women, do not suffer longer, when thero is one so kind and willing to aid you." Lydla E. Pinkham's Vcgctablo Com pound is a woman's remedy for wo man's ills. More than a million wo men have been benefited by it. degenerating or else tho Incorporation of tho Moosto borough is causing a halo of darkness to envelop tho cher ished hopes of the average office seeker. From time Immemorial it has been a custom in old Lackawanna for the fellows desirous of donning tho habiliments of nn office to send their candidacy broadcast months prior to election. The spring election Is only a few weeks away and as yet no one has launched his aspirations, despite the fact that some of the most remunera tive places are to bo filled. The town ship at present Is Democratic by a large majority and usually tho sup ply greatly exceeds the demand. Just how soon tho town may bo covered with all sorts of advertising matter drumming up tho candidacy of pros pective candidates is a matter of con jecture. Tho situation is perplexing and evidently tho Democratic timber is exhausted. By the way, a quiet tip Is going tho rounds that Supervisor Qulnr. has donned his war paint for a te-electlon. OBITUARY. Mrs. Graco Baimcrt, widow of tho lato Jacob Hanncrt, died at lur home, lull Prospect avenue, Monday Deceased was 42 years of age, and Is survived by lx small children, and two brothers, Ferdi nand Ilagcn, of Alder street, and Her man Ilngen, of Capouso avenue. Tho funeral will take placo this morning with a mass of requiem at St. Mary's church at Po'clock. Interment will bo mado at St. Mary's cemetery. TO USE AMERICAN CARS. Ono Scheme to Attract Americans to Paris Exposition. From tho New York Sun. Among other measures for attracting foreign visitors to the Paris exhibition of 1900, the French minister of public works Is urging tho great railroad com panies of tho country to provide them selves with a larger number of cars of the "corridor" or American style, and thus make traveling to the capital more comfortable. As American travelers abroad know, the cars mostly used on the French as on other European rail roads are of the coach pattern, consist ing of several compartments.each hold ing from six to eight passengers, and each communicating with the others and with thosa of other cars only by nn outsldo footboard. This arrangement puts a single passenger occupying the same compartment with a robber or an assassin beyond the reach of help. Ho cannot, as numerous robberies and murders prove, escape while the train Is in motion, and the passengers in the adjoining compartments cannot get to him. No provision is made, either, for toilet and refreshment accommodations, except when the train halts and pas sengers can get out and use those of the stations. Tho defect hag been par tially remedied by the Introduction for first-class passengers of cars resem bling ours, and It is for tho multiplica tion of these, for the use of all classes, that the French minister Is exerting himself. The French railroad companies object to undertaking the Improvement asked of them on the ground of its expense. A Paris newspaper has made inquiry of their officers with the following result: Tho Eastern Railroad company, which owns the lino between Paris and Southern Germany, has already 130 of the required cars, and will have 104 more ready by 1900, but they are for first and second class passengers only. The first-class corridor car weighs nearly 17 tons, costs $6,000 and carries only 21 passengers, while an ordinary car weighs 12V4 tons, costs only $4,000 nnd carries 32 passengers. The representative of the Orleans company, which connects Paris with Spain, declared that what was de manded was impossible. The company had only 20 first-class cars with lava tories and communication between the compartments. To add to them would Increase the company's debt and im pair the value of its property. The Northern company, owning- the routes to England, Belgium and North ern Germany, looks on the scheme as ruinous. The corridor oars cost $10,000, weigh over 25 tons and carry 42 pass engers, making the transportation per passenger double that of the ordinary oars, Tho Lyons company, over whose lines passes tho travel between Franco and Italy, Is better provided with In tercommunicating cars and will have about 600 of them by 1000, which It is supposed will be sufficient. Tho Western company, which serves Havre, Cherbourg nnd Brest, has only 64 of the cars required, end will add to them, possibly, 20 more, but will ex amine into the subject. It thus appears that the five prin cipal railroad companies of France will have, for the accommodation of vis itors to the Paris Exhibition of 1900, only a few hundred cars of a pattern which offers to any travellers the con veniences which all our American rail road companies provide for all their passengers without exception GATHERED IN SOUTH SCRANTON JOHN J. SCHNEIDER A OANDI DATE FOR COUNCIL. Wants to Fill tho Unoxpirod Term of tho Late Robort Robinson. Othors V'ho Also Aspiro to tho OlTfc-ConUtbn of Jacob Kaest ner end Dr. Kolb, Who Were Injuria at Elm Stroot Monday Night Funoral of Mrs. Catherino Fisch, of Cedar Avenuo. In the Eleventh ward a great sur prise was sprung yesterday, when John J. Schneider, of tho Arm Schneider Bros., plumbers, steam-fitters and hardware merchants, announced that ho la a candidate for tho Republican nomination for select council to serve tho unexpired term of tho lato Robert Robinson. Behind Mr. Schneider are a goodly number of tho representative men of his party. Ho Is looked upon ns a strong man who can carry the strongly Democratic Eleventh. Mr. Schneider's standing us a business man, citizen and leader of men makes him a formidable candidate. For the nomination Mr. Schneider will be op posed by iphlllp Wlrth, the present common councilman, whoso successor will be chosen next month. Henry Ziecler, Jr., son of the well known hardware man, and Charles Rosar, a clerk In tho city controller's office, are being boomed for tho Demo cratic nomination. Mr. Zlegter is not a candidate, and Mr. Rosar has not made a statement regarding his being a candidate. For common council the features havo not changed since the recent political story in this column. The leaders of either parties have not up to last night decided on a dato for the holding of the caucuses. FUNERAL OF MRS. FISCH. Tho funeral of Mrs. Catherino Fisch took placo from tho residence of her son, Anton Fisch, on Cedar avenue, yesterday morning. Tho house was thronged with friends and' neighbors. To mostly every resident of South Scranton the deceased was known and deeply respected. The vast concourse present at tho obsequies silently at tested the esteem entertained for her. At 9.30 o'clock the procession moved to St. Mary's church, where Rev. Peter Christ celebrated a high mas3 of re quiem. Ho pronounced nn eloquent and fitting eulogy, referring to tho grand traits of the good life of the departed woman. At the close of the pervlces tho remains were borne to St. Mary's cemetery at No. 5, and laid to rest. John Domuth, Peter Kuehner, Fred. Phillips and Henry Wetter were tho pall-bearers. CONDITION OF INJURED MEN. Jacob Kaestner and Dr. Kolb, whoso narrow escape from death occurred Monday night at the Elm street cross ing of the Delaware and Hudson rail road, were resting nicely as could be expected last night. Kaestner's condition Is very crltcal and his pnyslclan Is In almost constant attendance, with a professional nurse at his bedside. Dr. Webb stated to Tho Tribune man last night that It Is prob able that the developments of today, and perhaps, tomorrow, will have to bo awaited before the true condition can be determined. A further and com plete examination made yesterday morning did not show any more frac tures than noted in The Tribune's story. Kaestner suffers great pain, but he bears up well. Ills pluck la no small feature Incident to Ids recovery. Dr. John J. Walsh, Dr. Wehlau, Dr. Thompson and Dr. Grant held a con sultation yesterday regarding Dr. Kolb'B Injuries, which resulted In an operation. Ills akull was trepanned and relieved of the pressure of a piece of bone about one Inch long that was resting against the brain. The physi cians feel assured that Dr. Kolb's re covery Is certain and precaution has been taken to prevent complications. OF INTEREST TO FIREMEN.

Johann Hoff's Malt Extract Improve Appetite iKis 11 u&lrflwte I sun employed as saleslady in one of the largest department store. After being on my feet all day I am too tired to walk home, and get very little outdoor exercise. For the past year and a half I was troubled with a bad attack of dyspepsia and constipa tion, caused, I suppose, by eating cold lunches. My blood was also out of order, for which I had the close atmosphere of the store where I worked to blame; in a word, I was "all run down." I used a number of blood remedies and regulators beside lioma remedies and prescriptions of our family physician, but none did me much good, and I felt so discouraged that life had little charm for me. About two months ago I was induced by a lady friend, who has a similar position to mine and had much the same trouble, to try RIPANS TABULES. I had but little faith in them at the start, but tried them on the principle of " catching at straws." Their action was so gentle and they did mc so much good from the start that I was very much pleased and determined to give them a thorough trial. I started taking four Tabules a day one after each meal and one at bedtime. I kept that up for three weeks and then took smaller doses taking a half a Tabule after each meal and one upon going to bed. For the past two weeks I have taken three a day one after dinner and supper and one at bedtime, and cannot remember the time when I fch better than I have during the past month, and I have RIPANS TABULES to thank for it. 1 can now eat a hearty meal and do not dread the after effects. I have recommended the Tabules to a number of my friends and am yet to hear of their not giving great satisfaction. It docs seem that almost every one needs them, occasionally. I always carry a carton of tlicm in my pocket, and whenever any of tho girls at the store, or in fact any friend, tells me that they feel out of sorts, I produce my RIPANS TABULES, and think I have made a great many friends for them, for ones used by a person m need of something of the kind they are sure to be sought after again.

You are perhaps awaro that pneu monia always results from a cold or from an attack of la grippe. During the epidemic of la grippe a few years ago when so many caso resulted In pneumonia, It was observed that tho attack was never followed by that di sease when Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy was used. It counteracts any ten dency of a cold or la grippe to te Bult In that dangerous disease. It is the best remedy in tho world for bad colds and la grippe. Every bottlo war ranted.
