some ten thousand acres of land that
was supposed to be coal producing.

of Winchester, who has been making
his home here for several years past,
early last spring spent several weeks
prospecting near Winchester. The re
sult of his labors were very promising.
Later Messrs, W. S. Bloes, Frank Rice
nnd several other Interested parties
Journeyed to Winchester and proceeded
to open up a drift. A nine-foot vein of
coal was found. These gentlemen hur
ried home and proceeded at once to
organize a company nnd elect otHcers
bo that they could at onco purchase the
necebHary machinery and erect a
breaker to prepit the coal for mar

Imve spells dining whlc'i my suffenn.-:
was great. All sorts of treatment was
tried, from which I received little or no
benefit. Doctors were employed and
various kinds of medicines used. Ex-
cept to give temporary relief, thero
was no appreciable change in my con
dition. At last I was Induced to try a
bottle of Pe-ru-na. and, after using
two bottles of this medicine, I found
myself more Improved than from all
the other treatment I ever received."
Miss Jennie Hawley, n well known
contralto slngei, says: "I regard Pe-ru-na
as Invaluable to singers and ac
tresses." Thousands of women can give simi
lar testimony to the benefit received
from Pe-ru-na. No ailing woman
should fall to try Pe-ru-na. One trial
Is sure to convince.

P1TTSTON NEWS.
The Strike at the Exeter Machlno
Works Arrival of the Fresh Air
Children A Blundering Verdict by
a Coroner's Jury.
Last Monday the employes of tho
Exeter Machine company and foundry
laid down their tools and walked out
of the shop, for the reason that they
had not received their pay on the Sat
urday before and that no satisfactory
explanation would be given them when
they would receive It. In the after
noon they held a meeting on the river
bank between the two bridges and ap
pointed a committee of two from each
place lo wait upon Superintendent
Thomas and Inform him that It was
the sense of tho meeting that they
wanted to receive their wages every
two weeks and It that was not pos
sible they would bo satisfied if they
would receive their pay on or before
the 10th of each month. Later In the
afternoon they wero paid off for June
nnd were assured that their request
would be favorably considered. On
theso conditions the men resumed
work yesterday morning, but before
noon word was conveyed to them that
Superintendent Thomas had said he
would pay when he pleased to do so,
and, this being verified by a commit
tee who called upon him, every man
In both shops dropped their tools,
picked up their dinner buckets ami
walked out of tho buildings In a quiet
and orderly manner and went to their
homes. This evening one of tho bosses
under Thomas notified the commit
tee that the understanding between
them for which they resumed In tho
morning would be granted, and on the
strength of this they will resumo. work
again this morning. Tho company is nt
present working the plant to Its full
est capacity, having on hand many
large orders for different knds of ma
chinery. There was a large crowd at the Le
high Valley depot yesterday afternoon
on the arrival of the train from New
York, as three coaches were attached
to It filled with children from the me
tropolis who will spend the next week
In this city and on the West Side,
likewise Avoca and Mooslc. In the
crowd were those who had previously
agreed to take the little tots under
their care nnd on the arrival of tho
train the committee, headed by Rev.
J. J. McKIIpIn Fletcher had an Irk
some task to perform in the proper
disposal of the largo and Interesting
family. There were all kinds of
amusing scenes, as some of tho little
travelers had slept nearly all the way,
had never been In a railway coach be
fore. In fact, had never seen grass
fields before ond when suddenly awak
ened and dropped down on the rail
way platform looked about In wonder
and surprise. Some began to cry for
their mamas when thev found them
selves surrounded by strange people
In a strange place, while others took
on a philosophical manner and looked
upon the change of scene lu a con
tent way. Perseverance and kindness
works wonders and In half an hour the
large crowd had dispersed and the lit
tle excursionists wero on tholr way
to their new homes chnperoned by the
kind housewives who for tho next two
weeks will no doubt impress upon
their young lives the fact that this
big world is composed of more than
Is to be seen in the congested and filthy
district of East Now York. Many of
tho children were respectably attired,
while others showed the most outward
signs of poverty. But all this will be
changed when their vacation ends, U3
every child will be returned to their
homes newly clad and rozy cheeked
and no doubt the experience will be re
membered by them during the remain
der of their lives.
The verdict of the coroner's Jury
which met according to law to ascer
tain how the late Wlllet Pulver met
his death stated that this unfortunate
result was accompllshen at the hands
of some one unknown to the Jury. How
they could have rendered such a ver
dlot has created the greatest surprise,
as Charles Varguson, who did the
shooting, gave himself up to an officer
Immediately afterward and was com
mitted to Jail, whore he now is. Tho
complexion of that Jury, solicited by
Deputy Coroner Evans, should suggest
to Coroner McKee that men should bo
placed upon the Jury who have tho
necessary Intelligence to render a ver
dict such ns the evidence would war
innt. In tho nbovo case tho vordlct
was an outrage upon law and Justice,
as the prisoner ndmltted the shooting
and his case will como down before
the grand Jury In tho regular way.
Mis. Anna Fox, aged 70 years, died
yesterday afternoon nt the residence
of her daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Wil
son, on Parsonage street, ufter an Ill

ARE WIVES fl BLESSING ?
The Masculine Point of View
"A
Good Wife Is
Tiling IJiU '
n Good
"God bless our wives. They Jill our hives
With littlo tiros nnd honey.
They soothe life's shocks, they mend
our socks.
But don't they spend tho money?"
That's nn Old Country Jingle. But It
represents tho masculine sentiment of
all countries. Tho wife Is a great
blcsslng,--but she's expensive. How
ever helPi'ul she Is there's nlways that
qualifying "but" when tho masculine
mind dwells on money, and when
doesn't It?
There's no satisfying some people,
especially when the pocket book is
touched. That is what makes the main
unhapplness of many a good wife. She
works hard, she devotes herself to hus
band nnd family. But when she wants
a dollar she has to beg for It, and prob
ably be asked "Why, Where's that
dollar I pave you the other day?" Tho
"other day" is weeks ago. It would
serve the man right to let him find an
empty table nt dinner time, and when
he asked for dinner ask him: "Where's
the dinner you had yesterday?" But
the wife doesn't do that. She tries to
"manage along." And this Is not so
bad when It's only a question of a new
gown or hat. But when it's a question
of health, It is very different.
It Is undoubtedly the case that many
a woman lets little ailments grow to
great diseases, sooner than ask her
husband to pay a doctor's fee. The hus
band Is not unkind at heart. If ho
knew there was anything wrong he'd be
the first to propose a doctor. But ho
doesn't notu the slow change In his
wife's nppearance and he doesn't feel
the pains and aches which make the
day's work drudgery.
It is under circumstances such as
theso that women appreciate tho offer
of Dr. R. V. Pierce, of a consultation
by letter, free. Dr. Pierce is not only
a physician. He is a specialist In wom
an's diseases. For more than thirty
years as chief consulting physlclun to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti
tute, at Buffalo, N. Y., he has made dls.
eases peculiar to women an especial
study. He has treated more than half
a million of cases, anl ninety-eight out
of everv hundred treated havo been
positively cured. Thousands of cases
have been reached by what so many
have called "that God-send to women,"
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Its
efficacy in stopping debilitating and of
fensive drains, curing ulceration, In
flammation, and bearing down pains is
testified to by thousands of grateful
women, who have consulted Dr. Pierce
as to their health and ailments.
"It Is with heart-felt gratitude to you
for your kind ndvice, that I must tell
you what vour medicine has done for
me," writes Mrs. A. F. Cren3haw, of
Panasoffkee, Sumter Co., Fla. "After
consulting you about my case I took
your medicine nnd can say it cured me
of female weakness. I was nil run
down; suffered with sick headache,
pains In the back nnd bearing down
pains. I took two bottles of Doctor
Plerco'a Favorite Prescription, and was
then able to take care of my house.
My health Is better than it has been for
three years. I do not know how to
thank you for the kind ndvice you gave
so cheerfully."
There's an advantage In this consult
ntion by letter which the modesty of
women Is quick to see nnd take ad
vantage of. It does away with the
Indelicate questionings, the offensive
examinations nnd local treatments, of
tho average physician. It's an entirely
private consultation. The letter Is read
as privately as It Is written. Its con
tents are held as absolutely sacred.
The answer Is sent In u perfeotly plain
envelope bearing upon It no printing
or advertising to show where It comes
from. Every woman can write freely,
frankly and fearlessly, knowing that
she will receive friendly aB well aa
medical advice from the most compe
tent authority.
Sometimes a natural doubt arises as
to how Dr. R. V. Pierce can be so sure
of succeeding whero others fall. But
the fact Is easy to explain. Thero was
a woman once celebrated for he
"angels food." A friend went to her
and begged tho recipe. It was given
her with the most careful cautious ns
to making and baking. The friend went
home delighted. She started right off
to mako a cake. She measured, sho
weighed, sho mixed, she tasted. But tho
cako came out of the oven a flat fail
ure. Sho tried again. No better result.
Then she said the woman had deceived
her In the recipe. But the woman
took the same recipe and made u cake
that melted in the mouth. Now why
couldn't the friend make that cake Just
as well as the woman that gave the
recipe? Because the woman couldn't
give tho friend with the reclpo the skill
and experience that went Into her suc
cess. That explains Dr. tPlerce's success.
The same sources of knowledge aro
open to nny physician. But with the
same facilities that Dr. Pierce has
I they fall, because they lack the experl-
p innr
m
enco nnd skill which counts for so
much In Doctor Pierce's cures.
''About one year ago I wrote to Dr.
Plcrde describing my disease," writes
Mrs. Armlntle H, Newman, of Dug
spur, Carrol Co,, Va. "I do not know
what did nil me, my right side and bo
tween my shoulders hurt me all the
time; had no appetite, very little sleep,
displacement or falling of fnternnl or
gans and In fact I was all run down,
not able even to cook a meal, and was
nearly blind In ono eye and wan nfrnld
I would bo entirely blind. I had been to
three doctors but they did mo no good.
I was determined to try onco more.and
I wrote to Dr. R. V. Pierce. I received
a speedy answer telling me what to
take for my complaint and full direc
tions how to take the medicines, I sent
and got four bottles; two of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, two of 'Oolden
Medical Dlscover.'y and nlso one vial of
'Pleasant Pellets.' I took them accord
ing to directions, and, thanks to God
and to Dr. Pierce, I took the medicine
two months and got rid of all pains. I
got strong nnd stout, so I could weave
without any fatigue. Could walk four
miles to singing class like a girl of six
teen, and could sing with us strong a
voice as the rest of them. I wove
nearly one hundred yards of cloth in
loss than five months from the time I
commenced taking Dr. Pierce's medi
cines." There Is no medicine to compare with
"Favorite Prescription" In its wonder
ful work for women. In young women
It corrects the irregularities which are
so fruitful of latter evils. It dries up
the unhealthy and unpleasant drains to
which so many women owe a life of
misery. It heals Inflammation and ul
ceration and cures female troubles, It
gives vigor and elasticity to the organs
peculiarly feminine. It makes mother
hood a Joy by robbing Its preceding
days of all anxiety, foreboding nnd
discomfort; by making the baby's ad
vent natural and therefore easy and al
most painless, nnd by an ample lacteal
provision by which the nursing mother
has constant Joy.
Advertisements are sometimes de
signingly worded to induce women to
enter Into correspondence, supposedly
with a woman physician. Women are
urged to write to a woman on tho plea
of receiving a "woman's sympathy,"
and because "a woman best under
stands women." There is no special
feminine road to medical knowledge.
If a woman understands disease, sho
understands It not as a woman but as
a physician. Mere sympathy wont re
lieve pain or cure disease. The need Is
of competent medical advice. As far
as known there Is no qualified woman
physician connected with 'any proprie
tary medicine, and therefore no woman
competent to give medical advice. It Is
certain that no one else can offer as
does Dr. R. V. Pierce the free benefit
of thirty years of special study of wo
man's diseases, supported by a record
of more than half a million cases
treated with ninety-eight per cent, of
cures.
Fancy a man switching a train from
the safe track Just to make a dime out
of the catastrophe! It's something in
that same line when a dealer for the
sake of a dime of extra profit, or per
haps less, tries to switch a customer
from the purchase of a medicine of rep
utation and record, to a mere Imita
tion or substitute. A "Just as good"
preparation asluiowledges In that very
phrase that It Is a mere shadow of
success. Don't throw away the sub
stance for a shadow. Insist on the real
thing; and the right thing .Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
About the last place you'd look for
common sense would bo In a medi
cal work. For the most part these
works ''darken counsel by words with
out knowledge." It Is one of the
crowning features of Dr. Pierce's Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser, that It Is
all that Its name implies. All that and
vastly more, for the bare title of
"Shakespeare's Plays" no more ex
presses the wonder of tfliat master mind
which like an ocean touched every
shore, embraced all fields of knowledge
and all realms of fancy, than the baro
title of Dr, Pierce's great work ex
presses the extent of the Information,
the value of the knowledge contained
