The lecture to be delivered on Marc h
20 at the Presbyterian chutch of Arch
bald by A. V. Bovver, esq., will bo one
of the most Inteiesting lectutcs ever
given In that town. The story of this
wonderful city Is n most thillllng and
romantic one. It was ontlicly covered
tip by the volcano Vesuvius over eigh
teen hundied jeais ago nnd Is now
being uncoveied. The furniture, orn
aments and household utensils ate
found Jvt as the people left them w h n
they iled from the elty for theli lives.
The illscov cries are remarkable nnd
it Is as if one were hurled back over
eighteen centuries of time and entered
a city of the Jlist eentuiy. Mr. Bovver
explored the city and most of the views
ho shows wore taken under his per
sonal Hitpet vision, and, thetefore, ho
speaks ftom a personal acquaintance
with the fart. The lectuto is not only
Interesting and Instructive, but It .a
filled with Incidents that leally bolder
on the romantic. It will be IllustrafJ
with one hundred stereoptlcon views,
thrown upon u screen bv one of the
best lanterns made. The prlnclpil
Items of Interest that will obtain the
nttentlon will be home life and the
Roman theater, games of the amphi
theater and" the marvelous frescoes
on the walls of homes and temples
This leetuie has been delivered In some
of the finest Y. M ( A courses In t'te

PITTSTON NEWS
A Well Planned Joko nnd How It
Worked on a Blnghamton Would-
Bo Jcsso James Several Deaths
nnd Funerals, nnd a Column of
Local News.
Tor several weeks there has been
employed at the Sinclair House a young
man named Mutphy, and hailing from
Blnghnmton. He was a dapper llttlo
chap, active about his duties ns a bell
boy and could spin jams to bent tho
band, was clever in cultivating ac
quaintanceship and with these facul
ties ho was not long In becoming In
gratiated into the confidence ot tho
boys about town. Among other things
he narrated many of his exploits and
In such manner thut his new found
companions became convlned that lie
would as soon play the role of Jcsso
James as go to a circus. A scheme
was hatched to test his ability In this
line and It went Into effect last night
at midnight. Three of the bos named
Boyle, Mullen nnd Callahen told Mur
phy that they knew where a bag con
taining JS0O was buried down in the
enclosure of tho race track and that
they wanted his assistance In procur
ing It. A large bag filled with poker
chips and scraps of lion was fixed up
and about 11 o'clock the quartette made
preparations for the trip. Murphy di
vested himself of all books and papers
and everything that might disclose his
Identity. Tho others did likewise, and
nfter ornamenting Murphy's features

AH ARDENT ADVOCATE OF PE-RU-NA, THE UNIVERSAL
CATARRH RE1BY.
Leading American Ladies Talk About tho Merits
of I'c-ru-na.
THE IIOUK OF MS. LIZZIE DRISWER AT WE jTERLY, It. I.
Mrs. Lizzie M. Brewer Is well known In Rhode Island, Long beoro Pe-ru-na
was advertised in that State, she had discovered the merits of I'e-ru-na
and was recommending It to her friends and neighbors. Her frequent calls
for advice and attendance from tho sick made her recommendation of any
medicine of special Importance.
As a consequence, when I'e-ru-na came to be advertised, it found a great
many people who had already tested its merits. It had already made many
cures of chronic catarrh, la gilppe, ooughs, colds and consumption In the
State of Rhode Island. When It Is considered that, In tho Atlantic States,
more than half the people suffer from the effects of catarrh, tho Import
ance of tho discovery of a cotunh remedy becomes apparent.
iPe-ru-na cutes catntrh This hns been well demonstrated This is on
of the certainties ot medlcnl science. It cutes catarrh of the head, stomach,
kldncjs, bowels and pelvic organs.
In a letter to Dr. Haitman concerning the merits of Po-iu-na, Mrs.
Brewer writes, among other things:
"Westerly, It. I.
"Dear Dr. Ilartman I find It a suro cure for all catairhal affections so
common In this part of the country. It cures a cold at once. There is no
cough medicine that can ut nil equal Pe-ru-nn. As for la grippe, there Is
no other remedv that can at all compare with Pe-ru-na.
"I notice In medical journals, and from the testimony nf my neighbors,
that the doctors seem quite unsuccessful In treating la grippe, especially In
removlog the after-effects of la grippe. From personal observation In many
cases I know that Pe-ru-na is a sure specific for these cases.
"I am among the sick n gteat deal in our city nnd have supplied many
invalids with Pe-ru-na, simply because I am enthusiastic in my faith as to
Its results. I have never known It to fall to quickly and permanently re
move that demoralized state of the human system which follows la grippe.
"In all cases of extreme weakness I use Pe-ru-na with perfect confidence
of a good result. In cases of weaknesses peculiar to my sex I am sure that
no other temedy can appioach In good results the action of Pe-ru-na. It
meets all the bad symptoms to which females are subject. The irregular
ities and nervousness, the debility and miseries which ailllct more or less
the women fiom girlhood to change of life, are one and all met and over
come by this excellent remedy. I wish every young lady In our city could
read joui book, 'Health and Beauty.' Mrs. Lizzie M. Btevver."
Mrs. J. A. Eashor, KnoxvlIIe, Tenn.,
sajs: "It gives me much pleasuie to

After I recovered I was not strong

me; till flnully I heard of Pe-ru-na;
how it had helped so many. I took

Every housekteper ought to have somo of Dr. Hattman's free books.
