THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- WEDNESDAY, DECE1MBER 13, 1899. -3 3 i OPERATORS VIEWS OF THE NEW ROAD EXPRESSED IN DECEMBEH LET TER OF ASSOCIATION. Che New Rond Is Not a Possibility or a Probability but tin Assured nnd Accomplished rct Contracts Have Been Made, Signed and De livered and Others Are Being Made Opposition of the Old Com panies Will Not Prevent the Con struction of the Road. "The past month has bee:' one ot unusual significance to the anthracite coal Industry," says the December letter of the Anthracite Coil Opera tors' association. "The successful Is euo of the efforts to focilie for the operators a fair percentage of the tidewater pike of coal, has been .in event, the Issue of which will brine many changes for the better In the methods of transporting and market ing this important product. "Primarily, the advent of a now railroad which will carry a larger part of the Individual operators' tonnage, will, or should, be hailed with Jov by all of the nthei transportation lines. In all the repeated efforts imds by the operators to ecure bet it terms from thee older companl"S, thev were told that the contracts then In force (W per cent ) losulted In heavy losses to the purchasing companies. Indeed, one large company stated, ni'd endeavored to prove by figures tint the deficit of Us coal company for the year In question was made up wholly from the losses of handling coal on a 40 per cent, basis. "Assuming thit these various, and often repealed statements were close to the truth, these companies phould feel n grent relief at the prospect of having a few million tons of this ex tortionate burden removed fiom their shouldeis. It wilt be fair to expect that, after this change has been made, the coal opei.itors of the older com panies will show Intgo profits. RDLIDVE THEM OP A BURDEN. "It would be delightful to be able to wholly believe tint this new plan will prove nothing but a benefit to all. relieving the other companies of an unprofitable burden gling the opera tors a moie equitable, urrangement, and itself showing fair financial re turns. Hut there is icusoi to suspect that tills is not the care. Without oven suggesting that the statements made as to the absence of profit b.v the tallroids In a 10 per cent contract were altogether false, It would appear, fiom the -violent opposition to this plan, that n good case might be made against these asset Hone and that the companies really expect to lose some thing of exceeding value Instead f the vvoithless nothing about which thev formerly talked. 'And how unutterablj short tight "J ithey have been. Their policy, hid It been applied to iinv enterprise other than one whose assets were in the stock maiket, would have ruined it several times each jeai. This woul 1 have happened to the lailroads but for their abllltv to Issue new bonds and multiple mortgages W h.it fully It has be'ii What mist ikes! What a past' It should bo bulled deep, and with ample sanltntv pieciutions. "It Is best to look it the piesent nnd futuie. They ofi'ir hope and promise The new plan Is not either a possibility or piolnbll'ty, but an as sured and accomplished fuct. Con tracts have been made, signed and delivered nnd others aie being mad", signed and delivered. Title, the rail road is not yet built, but that Is sim ply a question of time. AN INNOCENT GAME "Some of the older companies have, v. Ith the foiPhlght for which they have won fame, been playing that Innocent children s game, which has no name, but consists In throwing rocks into the nelghbois" propeity. It is a t cully Juvenile amusement nnd, while It might annoy, perhaps frighten the lit tle ones, thobe at whom this game Is played, are fully irown and capable of distinguishing, and appreciating the distinction, between leal dlfllcultlett and childish spite. "It may be well to state that this new railroad Is not constituted fir the purpose of annoying 01 lighting the existing anthiacite can lei s It is purelv a business proposition. The company controlling It has determined that It would bo inon pioiltable to construct Its own ralhnad and haul Its own coal to maiket, than to de pend upon anothei for this tiunspoi tmlon In providing for itself, It li natural that It should deslie to In i rease the tiatllc over Its line and with this in view It has made advan tageous offers to other shippers In doing this It has violated no law, no agreement and no understanding, but It Is furthering (ho development of the section of country through which It will pass, and nlFo aiding In establishing the unthtaclte mining in dustry on a more permanent nnd prof itable basis it has no deslro to en ter Into a tight and no Intention of do ing so unless forced by unvvlso actions of the other Interests. The initiative must come from them and theirs will be the responsibility for the results. A GREAT ERROR. "To fight on coal prices would be one of the greatest errors which these other Interests could make. They ara f "IfttA 3 I of J Lie-lit" Fill the house with elenr, brilliant H white llctu.

If It were a case where the position of each was unknown to tho other, then a fight might he good policy to develop the strength of both. But In this casu the (strength of each one Is already known, and a fight would mean losses without any compenatlng advantages "The prime mistake has been that of leaving the settlement of a purely commercial problem In tho hands of rnllroad men. 'The entire training of tho president of a transportation com pany Is acalnst him in a problem of this kind. Even If they could all have been brought Into a board of control, they would have been unable to prop erly perform that duty. Eveiy propo sition, every agreement would have contolned nn expressed or silent 'If.' Indeed, should this not bo tho case their understood duties to their re spective companies would not have been properly performed An rnllrosd men they must actively further every opportunity for new business nnd take all steps to prevent a competitor from entering their field. "To obtain the greatest nmount of tratlle they have to engage In brisk competition, and in tho whole hlsto of railroading there was never an agreement which d'd not contain an if,' und which was not bioken when one or another suspected thnt, In th" development of Its syst'm, or In the making of a new deal, such agreement hampered Its notions. DIRECTLY THE REVERSE. "The anthracite pioposltlon Is direct ly the revei so of this. R Is a product mined In a limited nnd controllable area, with a fixed maiket. It is alto gether a commercial and not n railroad question, and requires for its solution a head which appreciates it from that point of view, and which can, and will net with decisive, yet cautious, busi ness judgment, and without being ar bitral y in Its dealings with the pub lic, yet will firmly maintain Its posi tion and keep productions) and prices at a point fair to tho consumers and profitable to the producers nnd trans porters. "How In finitely wiser and better It would bo If the entire anthracite pro duct was purchased and marketed by one company Tho suing in agencies and commsslon, nnd the maiket sta bility which could be i.ecurod, would, within a shoit time bring oveiy part of the industrv on a pa:. Ing basis, be sides proving extremely piofltablo to the selling compiny. It is not suoh a dlfTlcult proposition, nor one which presents insurmountable obstacles for Its accomplishment. The sates sheet of each company show the distribution of their pioduct and the nveioge pi lee at tide. Assuming that the mines lecelve a certain peicen'ago of this, tho pui chase pi Ice Is established foi the opoi ators on the line cf ach railroad The companies' books show thrli tut ie tutn.s, including their proportion of fixed charges, at tho mines, for oi. mined bv themselves nnd shipped to tide, line points and other mnikets, thus establishing their put chare pi Ice. Hue allowance lould be made for sup ply coal. QUESTION FOR DISCUSSION. It would bo a question for dis cussion whether these prices should "b' inld to each, or a geneial ueitig found for different teglons, or for al! of the regions. In the matter of ti.tns poitntlon. each compiny has hinted a oeilnln percentage of the total pio ductlon. Tills could be guaianteed with an anangement by which. If found oxpedlnt to ship more than Hi due ptopoitlon over one line, u coitalu letuin should be mnd" to the load-. o.u lying h ss than their petcentago. In tho matter or fi eight rates, a fixed rate could bo established ti eai It point, bv each line. "Working out such a plan is simply a matter of detail. It could be dou se, as to maintain the market pi Ice of coal at a lair flguie, to pay the com pnnlrs and operators tho same pri or moie, than they can now obtain, t give the' companies the same freight loturns they now- secure, and to the profit of the cential selling company. Tho only factor to overcome Is the unwl'llngness of the various interests to enter into it in n spirit of fairness and good intent Its accomplishment would mean dividend vis againt pres ent losses " DONATIONS ACKNOWLEDGED.

Powell, side, board; Mrs. J, L. Btelle, chandeliers; The story of disease as Mr. Long tells it is very short. It can be summed up in the three phrases which are chosen for illustration. "A terrible cough," "Could not sleep," "No appetite." When a man can't eat and can't sleep, he can't live. If he can eat but can't sleep there's madness dogging his steps. Hut if both sleep and appetite fail him, he is a doomed man unless help comes to him. When these symptoms are associated with "a terrible cough," friends begin to whisper to each other that ominous word consumption. Mr. Long's Story. I cannot speak too highly of Dr. 1'Icrcc's Golden Med ical Discovery," writes W. S. Img, Esq,, of l-'rankfort, Sussex Co., Del. "After recovering from n spell of pneu monia I was taken with a ternblc cough, nnd nothjiiK seemed to do me any good until I began taking the' Golden Medical Discovery.' Ilcfore I took the medicine I was very weak anil nervou9, with no appetite, mid could not sleep at night, and my friends felt sure that I had consumption. Hefore taking one bottle my appetite improved greatly anil after taking four bottles I w.i9 completely cured. I think there is no medicine equal to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and gladly recommend it to all similar sufferers." The case of Mr. Long is typical in its symptoms and typical in its cure. The use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has resulted in the quick and lasting cure of thousands of cases, when no other treatment has given relief. Sufferers from bronchitis, or deep seated obstinate cough, weakened by frequent hem orrhages, enfee bled by failing ap petite, and loss of sleep, have found in "Golden Med ical Discovery " prompt help and a permanent cure. Serious Symptoms. "Last spring I wrote you in regard to my health which at that time wa9 very poorj" writes Mrs. Nettie M. Barnes, of Garfield, Pawnee Co , Kans. "My trouble was bronchial affec tion. Symptoms, spitting of blood al most every morning for five years, short ness of "breath, raw and sore throat, loss of strength, at times almost loss of voice, irregular periods in fact I thought I was surely going into con sumption. We lived in Ohio when I con sulted you. You ad mflmffl3mm&8ii iKiT7f-z-cjrj,irv- - "'!' UTLi.'jwrr l. v ised me to give Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery a trial, which I did, and with happv results. I got two bottles just before we started for Kansas. I did not feel as if I ever would get there, but we arrived and I used the two bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery' and neaitn returned as i used the medicine, l nave only raised blood three times since I began using it. My periods are regular, strength returned, and I am almost a new person. I have all faith in Dr. Pierce's Discov cry. I know of a lady that was cured of consumption by it."' The cures accomplished by "Golden Medical Dis covery" are to be attributed simply to a rational method of treatment. The reason that so tnhuy medicines fail to help is because they treat the effect instead of the cause of disease. For example, when sleeplessness is experienced it is common to try all sorts of so-called "nerve medicines." These are in general, narcotic compounds. They do not feed the nerves but drug them into a drowsy numbness. When appetite fails recourse is had to so-called "tonics," a false appetite is created, and food is forced on the feeble stomach. Hut when nature takes away the appetite or desire for food, it is be cause the stomach and organs of digestion and nu trition are in no condition to prepare the nutriment for the body, and the false appetite created by "tonics" and stimulants only makes the condition worse by forcing on the stomach food which it is too "weak" to digest or assimilate.

Tho Keiamlu club of Hcrunton opened its fli st exhibition yesterday murnlns in tho Carter building, on Adams ave nue, under tho most successful aiple-s as far as the exhibition was concerned, the weather, however, being unfavor able. In tho afternoon a veiy largo number of poisons called to seo tho porcelain, which had been most attrac tively ai ranged on the vatlous tables. Tho beautiful airay surpilsed ninny visitors, as never before has been col lected In this legion such a largo quan tity of amateur work. Miss Grace Norton was in chnrge most of tho afternoon. Miss MacNutt, Mis. Shoemaker, Miss Anna Rcrnnton and others assisted late In tho dav. Miss MacNutt, who Is president of the club, had a eveiy elaborate display, consisting of almost eveiything which could bo desired In decoratlvo work, all beautifully painted. Her pupils nlso hnd much on exhibition. Miss Morton's china is all of exquisite design and unique In treatment, ctmtacteriied by the daintiness which she Is so apt In bestowing. Miss Anna Robinson hns a fish sot and n number of other pieces exceed ingly well done. Mis. A. K. Cross has a large exhibit, ch!6f among which Is a llsh platter, charmingly tieated with shell and sea weed decoration. Miss Anna Scranton shows a beautiful vaso after Marshall Fry's method and a number of other plccos. Mrs. T. II. , Dale has a quantity of beautiful speci the stomach is weak, and there is no appetite, and friends begin to whisper "consumption," a great many people are induced to use foul fish oils or the modified nastinevs of their emulsions. Hut these being foods must be digested and assimilated before they have any value for the body. They do not deal with the cause of disease but with its effect. For that reason oils and emulsions do not bring permanent results. The reason why Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery does cure so many forms of disease, is be cause so many forms of disease begin in "weak stomach." The stomach is the vital center of the body. It isn't what is eaten but what is assimilated which sustains life. Nervousness is nerve hunger. "Golden Medical Discovery" heals the diseased stomach so that it makes nerve food; the nerves are fed and nervousness ceases. When the stomach is made well and strong the appetite conies back nat urally. When food is eateti and digested and assimi lated, the whole body is built up into sound health. Consumption is n wasting disease. There can be no consumption to a properly nourished body. "Golden Medical Discover'," cures diseases of the stomach nnd other organs of digestion and nutrition and so removes the obstruction to the proper nour ishment of the body in all its parts.
