WARM AN. BEFORE BREAKFAST On the afternoon of the letter car rieih' parade, Mis.

THE LACKAWANNA HARDWARE CO. 221 Lackawanna Avenue. I Glance K lie from whom Governor Stone frankly states he often takes orders. Miss Clertruile Penree, second daugh ter of Hov. Dr. W. H, I'earce, of tho First Methodist .church, Wllkes-Harre, was graduated from Wellcsley In June nnd was at onco engaged for the pro fessorship of Greek nnd English liter ature In tho Wllkes-narre High school. Miss 1'carco attained a high standard of scholarship during her entire col legiate courso and has had several Im portant positions offered since and be fore her graduation While Wellcsley does not give the grading of students and there arc no "honors," her stand ing was such that she has received nattering recommendations nlong'the lines of her classical work. She will teach for two years, after which she will go abroad to study. There seems to bo plenty of room at tho top for the girl who masters some special course. It Is the day of spe cialties and the college-bred girl has vast advantages In her favor In almost any career she may select. A Scranton man who rides much on the Hloomsburg division of the Lacka wanna tallroad, and who has thought much about tho length of time It re quites to reach Northumberland, wrote to (leneial Pussenger Agent Lee the other day a letter In which ho mildly "wondered" If something couldn't lie done to shorten the three hours con sumed on the route. Within a day or two he received a mnit courteous reply, stating that In quiry would be made and a consulta tion with ticket agents along the lino would be held to see If a nlnn could be rtelgcd to lessen the time, nnd thank ing the patron for calling attention to a matter which doubtless needed re vision. "Don't let me hear anyone say that you enn always toll a person's true character by appearance!" exclaimed an excited lady yesterday as she bounced Into n friend's parlor. "Yon can't do anything of the sort, .lust now there was the nicest looking old gentlemnn on the car. He had wavy, silver hair and a benign countenance; you'd have sworn he was n bishop, at the veiy least. There was an Italian woman sitting next with the grubbiest baby you over saw, who was eating an ovenlpc banana. The bishop, as I'd fully made up my mind he was, had been very much ab sorbed In reading a pamphlet In his hand. Suddenly he lurched away from the proximity of his neighbor on the sent, then he arose and swore vocifer ously. The baby had been contentedly rubbing the remnants of the banana up and down the broadcloth sleeve of the dear old gentlemnn, whose book fell on the car lloor, title uppermost. What do you suppose? No, It wasn't the Christian Advocate, nor The Independ ent. Guess again. Well, If you must know, It was Town Topics; and he looked like a alnt, he truly did, even when he was uttei lug oaths that would curdle your blood." Many people have expressed furios ity at tho flashing and continual chang ing of the electric flag over the post ofriee entrance. It is produced by a broken circuit, the commuter being part in n half section, tho current thus leaping across the space causes a flash which produces the brilliant wavy ef fect so much admired. He was a delegate, and he was lean ing up against a railing, Monday even ing, looking exceedingly sad and de pressed. "What's the matter?" queried an ac quaintance. "Homesick?" "Nope," was the reply In a doleful tone. "Got bad news?" "Nope." "Lost your pocketbook?" ' "Nope." "What on earth Is it?" "Well, 1 If you must know, I came too soon to this bloomln' town. Fellows wanted to show me points of Interest right off. Fifty points. Forty-nine of 'em were saloons. See? 1 got here 'mong the first. Now the good time's Just beginning and I'm filled up with many kinds of different things. I ain't got any appetite for the rest. Feel ss If I'd swallowed the postolllce. What a dum fool I was. If only I'd just landed, what a good time I'd be hav ing right now!" And he turned mourn fully away. PERSONAL Attorney John J. Murphy Is vlbltlng in Philadelphia. John J.

ALLEN'S ESSAY ON STAG NANT POOLS OF WATER. Several School Buildings of the City Have Dangerous Fools Close to Them That Aro Apt to Cause Much Mischief Necessity of More Sow ersA Remedy That He Suggests. Reports That Were Made by the Other Officers Concerning the Month's Work. The board of health met last evening In their rooms In the municipal build ing nnd discussed and noted tipon sev eral Important matters. Miss NpUIo Sweeney, the new secretary, acted In that capacity for the first time at a board meeting. The report of the secretary, which was read and adopted, showed the fol lowing: Number of deaths, 13T; num ber of deaths lrom accidents, 7; actunl city mortality for last four yeari, ISM, 132; 1S96, 153- 1897, IR4- 1S9S, 1.C; eases of contnglous dlseoso reported, dlph theiln, 01, typhoid fever, fi; measles, 2: scarlet, fever 23; whooping rough, 1; deaths from contagious disease meas les, 1; typhoid fever, 3- scarlet fovor. 4; whooping cough, 1; dlptherln, fi; membraneous croup, 1- total, 10.

Health Officer Allen's monthly report was read by him and is printed below In full: Scranton, Pa., Sept. fi, 1SK. Gentlemen. 1 have, the honor to sub mit the following report for tho month of August, IV.": 8evnty-llve nuisances were complained of and abated where It has been possible Contagious dlseaso placards were placed on nlnetytwo houses. A l.irso pioportion of cuses of contagious disease come from localities where there aro no sewers nor drains. Good dwellings with modern Impiove" ments, inside closets, etc., are erected where there are no severs and no pros pect of any, trusting entirely to cesspools, which must of ncrealty full in u. shoi t time nnd then the board of health is called upon to correct this ui.il, which should never hae existed. ukmldv srcansTKD. If It were possible for councils to pass an ordinance giving the building inspector power to prohibit nil buildings being erected where there is no means ot drainage, much of the trouble from un sanitary conditions would be avoided, and 1 do not sco w hy it could not be done. I have written about the old-time stag nant pools M often that I nm ashamed to mention them ngatn, but there are some that really demand attention at once. I refer particularly to those In the Immediate nelghboihood of the pub lie schools. There is a vile pool "of long btandlng within 100 feet of No. 24 school on Perry avenue, which Is exceedingly dangerous and must be gotten rid of in some way. Tho street has not been ac cepted by tho city, though it has been built for ye.us. There are other school buildings in tho city nearly surrounded by stagnant wat er. No 15, a fine building In every othe way, lias an odor-bearing stream slowly winding its way on two sides of it, and "thero are others." If the board of con trol, whoiso powers nre not bo limited, would co-operate with the board of health In this matter, I think our present difficulty could bo arranged, and I believe thero is no doubt tl.nt tho board of con trol would bo entirely willing to do all In Its power, and that means a great deal. Stagnant pools of filthy water and im perfect drainago aro subjects for berlous consideration which will soon liavo to bo met. That Scranton la a great town, "Klectrlc City," ".Metropolis of tho Coal Fields," etc., etc., thero can be no ques tion but it might be profitable to lemem bcr "on th dead" that we have no sys tem of collecting garbage, not enough sewers, and only a little river with a beautiful name and such n very small amount of vater, that wmo of tho timo 4t is as nasty as that part of North .Main avenue which is crying for a pavement, to carry away tho tewenige. W. i:. Allen, M. D., Health Officer. ACTION ON P.EPOUT. Tho board realized that the Instances and suggestions contnlncd In Or. Al len's report were pertinent and should be attended to. Mr. O'Malley offered n motion, which van carried, providing that the por tion of the report leferrlng to tho schools be sent to the board of control with the suggestion that, that body take Immediate steps towards having tho trouble removed. In regard to tho suggestion with reference to the proposed ordinance restricting the erection of buildings In localities wheie there were no drain age facilities It was decided to defer action. The rules nnd manual ot the hoard aro about to be revised and an effort will be made to have this In corporated In the revision. A very peculiar fact wns brought up In connection with the next matter. Lena J. Gable and Caroline Schnefer, For Canning We will have today some of the Finest Peaches ever brought to this market.

PEACHES two mldwlvcs, precnft'ed themselvica before the hoard and nppllcd fjr certi ficates allowing them to practice their profession In this city. They both pre sented diplomas from the School of Midwifery In New York. They had been to the prothonotary's ofllcc, hut could gef no certificate from him ns ho nay told them that he had no power to grant them one. Thoywcro there fore told to apply to the board of health. Mr. Horn and Dr. Allen both agreed that theie was no law nllowlng them to register before tho board of health, in fact that there was no law allowing them to become legalized practitioners of their proferslon nt all. There are at present twenty-five mldwlves practic ing In the cltv, all unlicensed, simply because they can not obtain a license, on Incongruous feature of the whole af fair was the giving of birth return postal cards to one of the women after the bonrd had learned that she was unllcenced. WATHH TO HU ANAM'VnD. Dr. Allen reported that he had been In communication with the stale board of health In regard to having a com plete analysis of tho water In the var ious reservoirs supplying the city thoroughly analyzed. The services of the state chemist would cost Sjn a day, with all expenses to be paid. Dr. Al len estimated that the entire cost would probably be about $13.". Tho board decided to have the. analy sis made and the doctor was Instruct ed to notify the state board so that the work could be commenced at once. This analysis will be both chemical and bacteriological so that if thero are any dlsenre germs of any kind In the water thev will be dleovet.-Ml. The analysis which has been made from 5en to year has only been of 1 chemi cal nature and a bacleilologlcal exam ination has not been mnde for ten years. Dr. Allen says that this will be the most complete analysis ever made of the water supply of this city. THEY CANNOT BE CURED. Affidavits That Aro Defective Will Have to Remain in That State. Decision of tho Court. Defective affidavits filed by voters at the fall election of 1897 cannot be cured at this time by proving that the voter had all the qualifications necessary to entitle him to vote at the time the de fective affidavit was filed. That is the decision of the local Judges, made known Informally yesterday. On Friday last James Hurke, of the Third district of the Seventh ward of this city, was called before the exam iners in the Langstaff contest to give evidence In lebuttal. He filed a de fective affidavit and will lose his vote In consequence. Uurke had all the qualifications of a voter when the de fective affidavit was filed and an effort was made to cure the defect and legal ize the vote. This was objected to and the matter was referred to Judge Edwards. It was of such importance that he did not want to pass upon the matter him self and the tlnee Judges met In con sultation and considered the question. The respondent In the contest, who desired to have the defect cured, relied mainly on a decision in the Schuylkill county judicial contest, in which It was decided that defective affidavits can be cured. The local judges evidently de cided that the above referred to decis ion was not good law. If permission had "been granted to cure defective affidavits It would have an Important bearing on the contest, as over 1,000 have been discovered. UNION MASS MEETING. Will Be Conducted in Carpenters' Hall Tomorrow Evening. A "mass meeting of the trades union ists of, the city will be held tomorrow evening in Carpenters' hall, on Wyo ming avenue.

Anxious to Increase It for the Pur pose of Building Sewers. Dunmore is about to Issue bonds to the value of $33,000 and with the money proposes to build a system of sewers In the borough.

He Wns Employed ns Elevator Boy and While Taking tho Elevator Down Through the Building Yes terday Afternoon H1b Head in Some Way Was Caught Between tho Top of the Cage and the Third Floor Death Was Due to Strangu lation. Klmor Richards, a boy 14 years of age, living on ArchlnlJ street, nut in stant death yesterday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock In the building of Frank I1. Christian at 412 Spruce street. His head was caught between the top of the elevator and the third lloor or the building. No one saw the accident, and It will never he known Just how it occurred. It Is known,' however, that he was running the elevator from the fourth floor, and tho probabilities ate that as he beared the third floor the gate was open and he attempted to close It while the machine wns In motion and got caught. This theory is supported by the fact that Richards' rlghtnrmfrom the elbow to the wrist Is lacerated, which Vould be caused by It being caught between the side ot the elevator and the lion grating. The first Intlmntlofi the occupants of the building received ot the accident was the sudden halt ot the elevator. Mr. Coleman, of Coleman & Mosher, the tailors, whose place of business Is on the second lloor, went to the ele vator shaft, and, seeing the machine between the two floors, rushed up stalis. The horrible spectacle of tho lad in his awful position caught his gaze and he Immediately summoned help. It was with the greatest difficulty that the body was lemoved from the scene of his death. Dr. O'Malley was sent for. but his aid was of no avail, life having been extinct several minutes. Coroner Roberts was sent for and ar rived shortly after R o'clock. The ex amination showed that Richards was killed by strangulation. His left Jaw bone was dislocated, but there were no other marks on his body save his arm, as above referred to. The coroner ordered the body to be removed, and telephoned Undertaker William Price to take charge of It. The following jurots were empan elled to Investigate the boy's death P. J. Hickey, O. K lludgen. Wll'lam Corless, D. K. Jon3. William Prosser, nnd C. H. Call. The Inquest will be held tonight in tl. .irb'tr.itbn r.11 m of the court ho'ts" jt !s o ciovk. Young Richards took the position of elevator boy at the building last Monday, He was the son of Rlchar 1 Richards, and was up tn the clrt'J? of the school term a pupil at No. 13 school.
