Bpeclal to tho Scranton Tribune. Camp MocKcnzle, Augusta, On., Feb. 2C A renulem of praise went tip from the members of tho Thirteenth today In. living remembrnnre of Private Obed Michaels, of Company C, who passed away this mornlnff at half past six o'clock In the division hospital, to which Institution he was talten on the seventh of the present month. Death was due to a severe cold, which devel oped into bronchitis nnd caused heart trouble. Last Wednesday nfter a hard struggle he rallied, and showed signs of Improvement for a time, but a rase of typhoid fever contracted during the summer and from the effects of which ho had never fully recovered, together with a lack of hope In recov ery, bellied to undermine all spirit and bap his phjsicnl strength. Ho began to sink slowly Friday evening, when his father was notified, nnd this morn ing Just as the drums were beating re veille one of the best and most re spected !--oldl-rs of the regiment passed away to be numbered with the coun try's bravo and to pitch his tent on the "eternal camping ground." AVhlle the refilment wns stationed at Camp Alger, Private Michael was stricken with typhoid fever and spent fclx weeks in the hospital at Pottsvllle. ltccoverlng, he went home on a fur lough nnd the day before Thanksgiving lejolned his company at Camp Mac Kenzie, Augusta, Ga. It was thought by his telatlves at home that lie had not fully regained his normal health nnd they urged him to remain nt home a while longer. He, however, was anxious to join his comrades. Private Michaels was 2J years of age nnd was a member of the Na tional Guard for nearly two years. His father lives near Stroudsburg, Mon roe county, but for some time the de ceased has lived with his aunt, Mrs. Jacob It. Ace, of S32 Irving avenue. He was a miller by trade and had been a faithful employe at Seylolt's mill. Deceased was born nt Tunkhan nock, but about seven years ago came here to reside. Shortly afterwards hW parents removtd to Stroudsburg. Hi wa3 a member of the United Kvangel Ical church, but for some time previous to going away with the regiment he attended church and Hunday school in the Grace Reformed church. He vus a member of the Patriotic Order Sons of America, und his application for admission to the Knights of Malta wns favorably passed upon, the mus tering in of the regiment, however. Intervening befoie ho rould be Initiated The members of Company C, headed by Captain liobling, went to the hos pital this morning to pay their last respects to their deceased brother nnd as a further mark of their regard they contilbuted at once $13. in otder to piocure a better coffin than that fur nished by the government. The re mains were shipped to Scranton. Private Michaels Is the ninotenth. and. It Is hoped, the last member of the Thirteenth to sacrifice their lives for the government, nnd to answer the srreat roll call. Kspeelally under the present circumstances his death is much regretted by the boys. Richard J. Bourke. IN THE PLAY HOUSES. Sorrentino and His Dnnda Rossa. Tho sons of Italy with their high strung temperament held forth on tho Lyceum stage Saturduy afternoon and evening. The much-heralded Danda Itossa was greeted by nn audience beg garly in numbers, but vociferous in their applause, and, as is usual with brass band concerts, encores were the order. Some encoied from meilt, others IIEAET DISEASE. SOME FACTS REGARDING THE'RAPID INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES- Do Not Be Alarmed, but Look for tho Cause. Heart trouble, at least among the Americans, are certainly Increasing and while this may be largely duo to the excitement and worry of American business life, it is more often the re sult of weik stomachs, of poor diges tion. Ileal organic disease Is Incurable; but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble Is organic. Tho close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by the same groat nerves, the Sympathetic and Pnournogastric. In another wry, also the heart Is effected by tho form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food. There Is a feeling of oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distunded stomach on tho heart and lung:', Interfering with their action; henro arises palpitation and short breath. Poor digestion also poisons tho blood, making It thin and watery, which ir ritates and weakens tho heart. Tho most sensible treatment for heart troublo Is to improve the diges tion and to insure the prompt assimi lation of food. Thla can be done by the recular uso after meals of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tublets, which may bo found at most drug stores and which contain valuable, harmless dlgestlvw elements In a pleasant, convenient form. It Is safe to say that the regular persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will euro any form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. Full sized packages of theso tablets sold by druggists at BO cents. I.lttle book on stomach troubles mailed freo. Address F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. Brainworkers must have clear heads. To have a clear head the system must be kept in good order. Use the Carls bad Sprudel Salt. It cleanses the system, purifies the blood and rem edies stomach, liver and kidney derangements. Cures constipa tion. Capt. Bruce, of the U. S. S. Atlanta, writes: "A few doses of the genuine Carlsbad Sprudel Salt satisfied me that it is a most excel lent remedy. Be sure to send me three bottles more before I sail to the West Indies on Saturday." Beware of imitations. The genuine must have the signature of "Eisner & Mendelson Co., Sole Agents, New York," on every bottle. through fashion, sometimes "an evil custom." The programme with but one ex ception wns thoroughly Italian In spirit and sentiment The Intonation of tho unison passages were at times faulty and some did not admire the tremolo tones of the solo trombonl&t and Slg. Messina, the trumpetlst. There lg a vast difference of opinion among the best band masters a.i to the construction and Instrumentation of a band. Slg. Sorrentino has no slide trombones, bassoons or French horns and Instead of cornets he uses tho trumpet, which In the hands of such excellent artlhts lost the brassy quality and lntead there wns a beautiful, mellow lone. Aside from tho tremolo of Slg. Tebbo ve have rarely listened to n more luscious, oily, sensuous tone and In the famous duel from Alda his phrasing and expression were excellent,. the climax was thrilling and brought Invariably to mind the performance of the opera at the Metropolitan In New York. Tho various marches nnd waltzes given ns encores were bewitching in their rythmic cadences, given In a style Peculiarly Sorrentino s. Mrs. Mar Marshall Pease gave tho only vocal number in a good, sonorous contralto voice, displaying considerable fervor and feeling, but here again comes the evil tremolo, which mars so many otherwise splendid renditions. Tho du"t scene from "II Trovatore," by Slg Tebbo and the second trumpeter, wns probably the most popular nnd best appreciated of the whole programme. Tho audience that greeted Slg. Sor rentino and his band in the evening was not latge, but displayed an un usual amount of enthusiasm, and dur ing the performance the leader was presented with a handsome basket of flowers from admiring countrymen In this city who formed a goodly portion of the audience. The programme was rendered In a way that merited the evidences of approval given by the list eners, the closing selection from "Car men" being particularly noticeable for the nrtlsllc interpretation of the var ious themes. Bennett-Moulton Company. Our amusement patrons will hall with Pleas-uie the announcement that the famous Bennett-Moulton Comedy company will appear at the Academy, commencing today, for an entire week. Probably this company's performances have been witnessed by more people during the past eighteen years than any other attiactlon in America. Their new idea this season of a continuous performance without nny waits or In tel mlbsious, introducing new and novel specialties between acts, and when one considers the pi Ice. 10, 20 and 30 cents, it Is the wonder of everybody how It can be done. They carry a car load or scenery, their own orchestra, etc. Commencing Tuesday, dime matinees dally. A Warm Lot of Coons. Ac-cording to press notices from other cities the Darktown Swells, a large company of coon comedians nnd high born colored ladles, who open a three days' engagement at the Gaiety theatre Monday afternoon next, is what is known In theatrical parlance as a warm lot of coons. They give a con tinuous performance of genuine negro minstrelsy, vaudeville, rag-time opera and burles-que, and the fun Is said to run fast and furious from start to finish. "A Milk White Flag." Charles H. Hoyt has always fur nished to the stage wit and beauty and brightness; but he never furnished so much nt once before as he provides in "A Milk White Flag." Mr. Hovt lias shown that It is In the piping times of peace that the glorious military Is called Into most vigorous action. "A Milk White Flag" Is hn example which newly created generals and colonels and other gallant ofllcers should emu late. The satire contained In tho play has been perpetrati-d with such excel lent discretion and exquisite good humor, that its very victims must laugh most at its thrusts. It will bo presented nt the Lyceum Thuisday evening by a good company. PITTSTON NEWS Accident nt a Crossing The Simons Inquest Arrest of an Unlicensed Dealer.

What tho Now York Investor Says About Simpson and Watklns Con nection with the Project Review of the Present Condition of tho Coal Trade Important Meeting of the Building Trades Council to Do Hold TonightJackson & Woodln Plant Sold. Tho New York Investor of Saturday contained nn article on "Unifying An thracite Inlet ests," part of which is ns follows: In carrying forward tho plan for a com plete unlllcatlon of the anthracite Inter ests, a syndicate has been fuimcd to pur chase the properties of the Independent operators. Already Messrs. Simpson & Watklns, of Scranton, and sorrn. of their friends havo dliposed of their collerlcs to the syndicato in riuestlon, and 11 Is sur mised that these gentlemen have now really become the agents of tho syndicate, and will do all thev possibly can to se cure a lartte tonnage. The oiganlzattonof this syndicate no doubt grew out of Dip fnet, that the pros, ent anthracite carriers had a fear that the projected operators road the New orlt, Wyoming and Western was some thing more than a threat. There was grave danger Hint It might be nn accom plished fact. While Its operation might not have lelded the prollts reckoned on by Its promters. nevertheless Its construc tion would be nn additional burden, on nn already over-burdened Industry, wl'h the certain effect of there being nn ulti mate di preclatlon In values-. Its advent In the situation, would be a disturber of piesent allotments and nirangements, en tailing possible 1om and disaster, COAL TUADU SITUATION. The Knglneering and Mining Journal of Saturday thus reviews the condi tion of the hard coal trade: Tho weather during the week has been mild enough to allow breakers to run without trouble, and permit railroads to get their lines well opened. As a result the supplies of coal at tide-water points have been ample. The lee-bound slips nt New York cie open and all fears of a coal famine am ended for this winter. The cold wave has certalnlv cleared tho way for a good season's business by getting rid of a lot of old stocks at stocking grounds.and In yards nnd cellars. New coal must take Its place, and in spite of warm days spring Is not yet here, nnd a lot of coal will go Into cellars during this month and March. In the west, though the demand for an thracite dropped as the thermometer roue, stocks have been reduced and there Is still a lot of coal charging hands. Business at Duluth has been brisk nnd the shortage of nnthracite is more apparent. It Is re ported that less than Gir.,000 tons are on tho clocks at the head of the lakes. Considerable attention has been paid to tho Delawaie. Lackawanna and Western annual meeting, from speculations con cerning the retirement of Mr. Samuel Sloan and the pcllcy of his successor. It now looks as If little chnnge is llkelv in the policy of the load. Mr. Truesdcll. who. according to report. Is to succeed Mr. Sloan, will probably find that he will have to make the road pay dividends and as long as the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Is independent of other an thracite interests agreements will amount to as much In the luture as In the past. DELEGATE WILL HKPOItT. An important meeting of the Build ing Trades council will be held tonight at their rooms. J. .1. Coollcan, dele- " Two Heads Are Better Than One."
