YESTERDAY'S SESSION.
Yesterday's sessions were taken up
with the Sunday school institute. The
morning session opened at 7:30 with
holy communion, followed at 9:30 with
lltary. Rev. E. J. McIIenry, of Scran
ton, delivered an eloquent nddress on
".VChlld's Giving," which was warmly
received by the clergymen nnd dele
gates present. The nddress was thor
oughly discussed by Dr. Jones. Arch
deacon Coxe and Rev. John Grtflltli.
In the mythology of Ancient Greece
Hymen, the god of marriage, was the half
brother of Esculapius, the god of medi
cine. The ancients believed that mar
riage and health
should go to
gether, and as
a result the
Greeks of that
time have
ever since
been looked
upon ns types
of physical
perfection.
Sickly moth
ers cannot
bear healthy children. The prospective
mother should use even precaution to
preserve and foster her health. Not
alonc for the sake of the little one to
"come but for her own sake. A perfectly
healthy woman is in no danger and iu
very little pain at her time of trial.
There must be due preparation for
this time. . Nature makes the prepara
tory period three-fourths of a year and
women who take the hint from nature
and use the time properly need have no
r fears of the outcome. Dr. Pierce's Fa
, vorite Prescription is a medicine designed
' to cure all distinctly feminine ailments
and taken during the period of gestation
.it renders childbirth easy, safe and com
paratively painless.
It is the invention of Dr. K. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, N. Y., a regularly graduated
physician and skilled specialist in the
cure of all diseases of woman,
Mr. Orriu Stilea, of Downing, Dunn Co., Wis.,
writes : "I cannot praise your 'Favorite Pre-
ecriptlon' enough, for I have not been as well for
five years as I now am, In July last I had a baby
' boy, weight u lbs. I was only sick a short time,
and since I got up have not had one sick day,"
Sick women can consult Dr. Pierce y
letter free of charge. Every letter is held
.-.strictly private and sacredly confidential.
Designing men work on women's
feelings, by advising women to "write
to a woman who understands woman's
needs. " It is useless to seek advice about
disease of any woman who is not a phy-
eician. So far as known no qualified
-.woman physician is connected with any
prpnrieUrjf- medicine establishment
Vho session adjourned at noon and at
12:S0 lunch was served In the parish
house to the delegates and clergy pres
ent.
The afternoon session opened with
an able address by Hev. John Orllllth,
of Plymouth, on "Adult Class Substi
tuting." He brought forth many good
points which will bo of great value
to touchers and nil Sunday school
workers.
Mrs. II. W. Palmer addressed tho In
stitute on "Some Results of Work
Among tho I), I. A. Hoys."
Tho Institute closed with the after
noon's session.

cision of Court.
Special to Tho Scranton Tribune.
Towanda, Oct. 5. The long-brewing
case of the Second Baptist church of

sent before the street was ordained.
The trial of the Issue In question of

MONROE COUNTY
TROUT CASE
TRIAL BEFORE BIG AUDIENCE
OF SPORTING MEN.
Judgo Willard, S. B. Stlllwell nnd
Others Testify as to tho Manner in
Which Fish May Be Legally Taken.
Imposing Array of Counsel.
Special to tho Scranton Tribune.
Stroudsburg, Oct. 25. There was an
attentive nudlcnco of well-known and
wealthy sporting men from Eastern
Pennsylvania and Philadelphia to hear
the fifmous flBh cuses. On a little word
of live letters catch hinges tho result
of one of the most Interesting fish
cases ever brought In a Pennsylvania,
court, und on Judgo Allen Craig's In
terpretation of the word rests tho
futuro catching of trout In this stato
and In a number of other states In tho
Union where tho fish laws aro prac
tically the same. The attorneys for the
defendants, J. Price Wetherell, the mil
lionaire paint njanufneturer of Phila
delphia, and W. T. Elliott, a prominent
member of the Quaker City legal fra
ternity, are ex-Congressman John B.
Storm and A. Mitchell Palmer, esq.
Messrs. Charles U. Staples, esq., and
XV. A. Erdman, esq., are attorneys for
the prosecution.
The brief facts of tho case are as
follows Constable John M. Decker, of
this town, arrested Mr. Wetherell nnd
Mr. Elliott on warrants sworn out be
fore Justice Robert Gormnn by Silas
Young, fish nnd game warden of Wind
Gap, Northampton county. Young
charges tho defendants with the use of
a net, "nn appliance other than rod,
hook and line," In catching trout In
McMlchael's creek on May 12 and May
15 last.
At tho hearing before Justice Gruver
these faets were brought out: Messrs.
Wetherell anil Elliott, who had been
fishing on their preserve near Mc
Mlchael's, caught a trout and landed
the same with a landing net. The at
torneys for the prosecution claimed at
the hearing that this was a violation
of the law. Justice Gruver, after hear
ing nil tho evidence, fined the two fish
ermen $100 each. The case was then
appealed to the higher court.
Among the Interested spectators In
the court house today were Judge'Wil
lard, of Scranton, and Hon. S. B. Still
well, of tho same city. Others present
were Mr. W. E. Meehan, of the stato
fish commission; James XV. Correll, of
Easton; Joseph B. Townsond, jr., of
Philadelphia; Charles Wetherell, esq,
of Philadelphia. Ex-Collector C. B.
Staples opened the case for the prose
cution, stating that as evidence In
both cases was practlcully the same,
the suits should be tried together. This
was agreed to by the court. Mr.
Staples then stated the cases, whch
were brought by the Act of Assembly
of May 22, 1S99. Court Stenographer
Norman 11. Decker was the first wit
ness called. Ho testified that he had
taker tho evidence of Mr. Wetherell,
who swore "he used a net, but only In
getting the trout Into my basket." The
prosecution established the fact with
out much difficulty that the defend
ants used a net In landing a trout.
This fact was not disputed by the de
fendants. Ex-State Senator Joseph II.
Shull was called. He said that he had
been a trout fisherman for thirty years
Ho used a fly principally and always
used a landing net. On cross-examination
by Judge Storm, the witness said
that a trout was not caught until In
possession of the angler, ellner In his
hands or in a creel. The witness gave
his own definition of a landing net,
saying the purpose of the same be be
lieved to be to get the fish Into the
angler's possession. Van C. Peteis tes
tified that he used a fly principally and
a net for landing trout. Asked when
a trout was caught, the witness said,
"When It was in a creel." W. V. Kauts,
John S. Schoonovcr and William Van
Gordon gave evidence In a similar
strain. Van Gorden testified that ho
never used a landing net but once In
his life. Judge E. N. Willard was called
as first witness for the defense. The
Judge said that a landing net was nec
essary, that ho did not think that the
net. prohibited Its use. S. B. Stlllwell,
president of tho stato board of com
mission, said that in fishing with rod,
hook and line the landing net was used
by fishermen.
Others who testified In a similar
strain were Lawyer Joseph B. Towns
end, ex-President James Correll, of
Easton; Mr. XV. E. Meehan, XV. D.
Price, Charles Wetherell, eFq., J. Price
Wetherell and A. T. Elliott, esq.
After nil the evidence was In, Judge
Craig decided to hear argument on
Nov. 2, when he will likely give his de
cision In the case.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Stroet Review.
Now York, Oct. 25. The movement
of prices was irregularly upwards for
the railroad stocks, while many Indus
trial stocks, especially of the mora re
cently organized companies, showed
symptoms of weakness. The movement
of the market wns by pulsations, first

taking up the advance. There was no
time during tho day when the general
level of prices kept company nt tho top,
tho rise In one group giving way to re
action before tho advance was takcrf
up by another. Many stocks were slug
gish throughout the day. Prices gen
erally gave way after 2 o'clock under
the pressure of realizing In the leather
stocks which had been tho center of
the speculation all day. The earlier
gains were wiped out In numerous In
stances hi this reaction. Tho nggres
