New Wash Waists
A new lot has just come from
cur New Yo.rk and Philadelphia
Factories.
We offer this morning the larg
est collection of Women's Shirt
Waists that we have ever shown.
Let your thougnts revert to the
great and good showing we made
last year, and it gives only a hint
of what you may expect of our
present gathering. They crowd
the counters leading to the Suit De
partment, leaving room only for
you to search comfortably among
them. They are the good kinds,
cut on correct lines from perfect
patterns, carefully made, and a
great deal of this care has been de
voted to the trimming and finishing
the details that mark the charac
ter of all high class Waists. Here
in French Percales, Scotch Ging
hams, Madras and Cheviots, Irish
Lawns and Dimities and all the
Sood fabrics that American mills,
know how to make.
New Neckwear
There's an interesting show case,
and a display fixture above, in the
front of the store. They hold a
collection ot Parisian novelties in
Women's Neckwear. Light, filmy,
airy creations of Sheer Lawns.
Nets, Chiffons, Liberty Silks and
Laces, witn trimmings, slurrings,
tuckmgs and appliqueing. The
New York styles match beauties
with the Paris fashions and keep
one anotner snort company. A
new assortment has lately come.
We don't think so many styles are
shown in any one store outside of
the great cities. One style is 2SC. .
another is $5.00. That is the
range. Probably fifty prices be
tween those ends.
Joseph Washlck nnd Frank Bellnskl
were exonerated from the charge of
committing an aggravated assault and
battery on Ellas Thomas and the prose
cutor was directed to pay the costs.
The same action was taken in the case
against John Woshlck, who wns also
charged with aggravated assault and
battery by Thomas.
James Cawley, rasper Snyder.'Charh's
Rverhardt and Charles Itlley pleaded
guilty to having been guilty of larceny
nnd receiving and wero sentenced to
pay a line ot $1 and costs.
John Lambert, who was convicted of
attempting to assault a 10-year-old
colored girl, was sentenced to three
years In the penitentiary.
Bill in Equity Dismissed.
Judge Edwards handed down an
opinion yesterday In the equity suit of
Isaac 13. Feltz against the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad
company, In which ho dismissed the
plaintiff's bill and put the costs upon
him, with the exception of the defend
ants' witness foes.
Feltz brought suit to compel the com
pany to remove a powder house which
stands near his home near Taylor. The
court reviewed the testimony, wherein
the plaintiff nlleged the place was dan
gerous, but In view of the fact that the
Holden mine, to which the powder
house belongs, wilt be shut down with
in three or four years, owing to the
coal supply becoming exhausted, the
court disposed of the case as above
stated.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
WILKESrBARRC, PA.,
APRIL SO, 'DO.
Prospects for the Heaviest Trade
Ever Transacted.
New York, April 21. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say
tomorrow:
Nothing appears in business or In
money markets to prevent continuance
of the heaviest trade ever transacted
at good profits. The payment to Spain
is supposed to have caused some rise
in foreign exchange which would
amount to nothing in any case, as bal
ances due from other countries more
than cover the payment, and advance
bills against crops to come forward In
July nnd later will soon bo offered.
Loans on Industrial securities are still
at higher rates than on railway stocks,
but on good commercial paper or rail
road stocks money Is In ample supply
and at low rates. Nor have stock oper
ations caused any appearance of pres
sure. The financing of new corpora
tions has passed thus far with less
trouble than had been feared, though
ths completion of some organizations
Is hindered or has failed. The usual
time for financial troubles In the spring
has passed and the usual alarm about
crops has done Its work, and still In
dustries are undisturbed.
The one hindrance In stock specula
tion Is doubt nbout the crops, but bet
ter uuolllcinl reports, have suportcd In
ferences warranted by the heavy re
ceipts from tho farms and south.
Farmers do not send wheat or cotton
to market in large quantities when
crops anywhere near them are exten
sively spoiled, Wheat receipts have
been 7.G11.343 bushels against 5,206,643
last year In three weeks of April, and
the improvement since April 1 Is worthy
of notice. Exports have fallen off,
amounting from both coasts to only
6,774,771 bushels, Hour Included, In
three weeks, against 10,919,122 Inst
year and the price closes but V3 cent
higher than last week. Corn Is about
steady in price, with a decrease In ex
ports natural at this season Cotton
rose on Monday with the slausht-r of
Liverpool shorts and closed an eighth
higher, but without reason to expect a
short year.
Men who have held wool stlllly for
more than a year are selling freely at
bottom prices, admittedly the lowest of
the year. Sales at the three chief
markets In two weeks have been 23,
20I.CS5 pounds, of which 17.037,583 were
domestic, ngalnst 1.1,905,100 pounds In
1892. Territory wool, 200.000 pounds,
wns sold for export to England and 1,
250,000 Australian In bond, which has
been held hero fifteen months, fine wool
being very high there while cross bred
is so low that it can now bo imported.
With assurance of better prospects for
goods, woolen manufacturers are wait
ing for the effect of various combina
tions. The demand Is not at present
especially large, and considerable ma
chinery Is idle. Cotton has advanced
an eighth, but exports are small, tak
ing of spinners are small, and tho
prospect for the next crop aro not
bad, whllo visible stocks are remark
ably large. An advance of . In soma
staple goods Is considered significant
and may Influence other prices. Fail
ures for the week have been 1R4 In the
l'nlted States against 204 last year,
and 22 In Canada against 29 last year.

country, there Is no system of higher
education in Porto Hlco. No school on
tho Island affords adequate prepara
tion for American college work. There
are normal Institutes for bovs and

PLUTON DISCOVERED.
Spanish Terror in Eight lathoms
of Water.
Santiago de Cuba, April 21. The
wreck of the Spanish torpedo boat dp
stroyer 'lJluton, which was rank In the
great battle that resulted In tho de
struction of Admiral Cer eta's squad
ron, wus discovered yesterday about I
three miles west of Morro castlo In
eight fathoms of water. It was fund
by divers from tho Yankton, who made
a thorough Inspection, ilndlng tho hull
lying on tho port side nnd with no In
dication of having been struck by a
heavy shell, as was originally reported.
Tho vessel, however. Is badly stove
and literally riddled with six-pound
shot. Evidently thu Gloucester did her
work well that day, for the Plnton Is
utterly ruined, and no attempt will be
made to raise her.
Hrlgadler General Frederick D. Grant,
who has been ordered to the Philip
pines, arrived here today with his staff
on board the United States transport
McPherson, formerly the steamer Ob
dam, which left San Juan de Porto
Rico on Monday evening.

" A Rolling Stone v
Gathers No Moss."
This is merely another
way of saying that careless
men and women fail to get
what is due them. Ordi
narily the "moss" is con
strued to mean wealth or
social position, learning or
benefit of some kind, but the
attainment of any of these
depends upon health.
And health depends upon what? The
condition of the blood, and but few real
ize this fact. You cannot be well when
your blood is impure. Impurities of the
blood clog every organ. Hood's Sarsa
parilla purifies by taking out the vicious
elements and leaving the blood ae it
should be the feeder of life.

Eczema catarrh, fifteen years with

took Hood's Barsaparllla and Hood's Pills
patiently for six months and am entirely
cured." P. 4. Euan, U. S. Pension Office,
Indianapolis, Ind.
After Fever-" Typhoid fever left ray
little girl very weak and thin and with no
appetite. She Is now fat and well and
Hood's Sarsaparllla made her so. It cured
my husband's rheumatism." Mrs. Clinton
B. Cope, Buckingham Valley, Pa.
Indigestion-" I had sinking spells
caused by weakness and indigestion, with
palpitation of the heart when going up

good but Hood's Sarsaparllla and Hood's
Pills cured me permanently." Mrs.

In a city like Scranton there must
be many hundreds of disease-stricken
mortals who, after having been
buoyed up by unfulfilled promises
made by unskilled or catch-penny
doctors for several years, have al
most resigned themselves to their
fate, and grown sick at heart in
despair.

Taffeta
Silks
In these days of cheap dyeing and flimsy weav
ing and stinginess, there's a kind of goodness that
has come to be called "old fashioned." These are
"old fashioned" taffetas, equal to those made in the
days when a silk dress was expected to wear for
twenty years. Silks are the crucial test of a store.
Slowly the recognition came that this store sold
them best of all. How widely the fact is acknowl
edged now, We speak plainly of taffeta silks silk
pure and simple, silk extraordinarily light; yet a silk
that a strong man, in our presence, could not tear
with his hands, though urged to extreme effort and
girded at for failure. Silk that will clean like a plate
of glass and wear like sheet steel. And finally,
silks at

in black, plain colors and changeable effects that are
better than those offered in most stores at 85c.
