Will Not Go Abroad.
J. M. Daly, superintendent of: trans
portation of the Delaware, Lackawan
na and Western railroad, was in the
city yesterday and stated that Gen
oral Superintendent E. O. Russell will
not go abroad for his health and retire
temporarily from the company's ser
vice. Mr. Russell has been indisposed for
somr time, and Is now under the care
of Dr. Eddy at Oswego, N. V but in
all probability will be able to resume
his duties by the first of April,
During his absence much of the work
connected with the general superin
tendent's office devolves upon Mr. Daly,
owing to the close relationship between
them, and in consequence he hns been
in New York several days during the
past week.
No. 6 Train Delayed.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western passenger train running be
tween Buffalo and New York, which is
due in this city at 3.30 p. m was an
hour and thirty minutes late in arriv
ing yesterday afternoon.
The delay was caused by a disabled
engine, which gave out between Bins
hamton and Elmlra.
New Order on the Central.
Lately the Central Itailioad company
Is taking up the Lehigh Valley
scheme of retrenchment. In cutting
down the crews all over the road, when
ever the management deems It advisa
ble to do so.
Yesterday an order was Issued by
Trainmaster M. M. Rlchy, of the Cen
tral, which dispense. with inn brako
men heietofore on all pushers or as
sisting engines on the branches of iho
road and over the mcimtain.3. The
order reads that the aslstln; engines
on all trains are considered a part oC
the regular train and the ilagnicn must
be governed accordingly. These push
ers are "used on the Tamaqua branch
on nearly all trains as well as on the
Wilkes-Barre mountain.
The second item in the policy U to
do away with one braknian on all ore
trains between Mauch Chunk nnd
Rockaway, including vhe Rockaway
foranch of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey. Heretofore these trains had
but two brakemen and now they will
be sent over the road with only one.
Mauch Chunk Times.
Order for Engines.
One of the largest single orders for
engines ever booked by a locomotive
building firm in this country Is that
Just received by the Baldwin works
from the1 Baltimore and qhlo railroad.
The order calls for 100 compound con
solidated freight engines, and Is sup
plementary to one for slxty-rtve ongincs
of a similar character placed by the
company with this firm some months
ago. A number of these have been
delivered and arc in service, while tho
balance will be ready for delivery in a
. short time.
Whllo the 100 engine;) Just ordered
are to be of tho same style" and general
character as the sixty-five Included In
the previous order, soma oxporhm-nts
are. to be tried with r, few of them.
Ttiesp 'will be equipped with wood-burning-
lire boxes, and two of them
with young Cornelius VonJerbllt's pat
ent' Are box. Tho englne.4 are to be
delivered aa rapidly as tho firm can
turrfthem out.
The Baldwins have succeeded in se
curing Another pioneer order for Amer
ican., engines from abroad. This is
from the Paris and Orleans railway of
France, which has placed an order for
thirty 0-wheeled passengar engines.
It'lsthe'flrst locomotive contract ever
placed' by this rallwav in America.
Work upon other foreign contracts is
propresslnc rapidly, and tho firm has
Just completed and has ready for ship
ment on the steamship WUhomina on
Thursday thirty-one locomotives for
the Chinese pastern railway.
The shipment of these engines will
ec-mpleto the order for seventy-one
placed with the firm some months ago.
The ten locomotives for the State rail
way of France are being pushed to
completion, and they will be ready for
shipment about the mlcMlo of April.

This and That.
, ,Th Lackawanna Railroad company
Will adopt the automatic block system
of .signals, which will cost about $:,
M.0M. 'F. C, Baker has resigned his position
in the draughting department of the
Dickson Manufacturing company to
become superintendent of' the Scran
ton Steam Pump company.
There Is great railroad activity at
Naiarcth. The Jersey Central has made
surveys and Is about to build a spur
from Bath to Nazareth, as well as an
other from Bath to Siegfried; the Ban
gor nnd Portland has 1G0 men to start
to work today to build from Nazareth,
through Georgetown and Bath to Slat
lngton and the Lehigh Valley Traction
company is said to be getting ready to
extend Its trolley road from Siegfried
to Nazareth through Bath.
It Is not generally known that about
four months ago the employes of the
track department of tho Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad
were given the benefit of an Increase
In wages. Previous to November 1,
1899, trackmen or section hands were
paid at the rate of eleven cents per
hour, track foremen were paid $40 per
month and the salary of the roadmas
tcr wns considerably below tho stand
ard for such position. Since that time,
however, the trackmen receive twelve
cents per hour, tho foreman's salary
has been Increased to 145 and the road
master's salary has been raised to the
standard, $100 per month. The advance
was voluntarily made and was a pleas
ing surprise to those who are benefitted'
thereby.

SOME MONTHS AGO OUR. BABY'S HEAD GOT SORB. Wa took
him to the doctor, who pronounced it poison and garo us some medicine
which did no good. His head got so bad
lie would cry alt night, and my wife could
sleep none, and began to look ghostly.
His head got so coro tbst we put a night
cap on him, and folded a white cloth four
thicknesses inside of it, and just through
the night a kind of matter would ooze out
from his head, soaked through tho cloth
and cap and on to tho pillow. Tho top
and back of his head was almost a solid
sore, and looked so badly tbst words would
not descrlbo it. Almost in despair I told
my wife I had seen Ctmcoiu. Remxdibs
advertised and recommended very highly
and I was going to try them. I bought
the Coticcba Resolvent, Ccticuka.
Soap, and Ccticdba Ointment. We gave

From Deep Sorrow
to Groat Joy
What Mother's Love and Tender Care Failed to Accomplish
Hood's Sarsaparilla Promptly Effected.
" I would cry every time I washed my baby ! "
This plaintive sentence tells a volume of mother's agony.
In such a dreadful condition from eruptions and sorea, Mm.
Guerinot's child received the tenderest care that mother's love
could give, and the most skillful medical attendance that
father's means could provide. Yet all failed until they turned
to Hood's Sarsaparilla, which in this as in thousands of other
cases has seemed to be the last resort, yet it has not failed. The
result was inevitable ust as certain to cure as that day follows
night. Evening's weeping turned to morning's rejoicing. That
is what Hood's Sarsaparillft will do for you if you will only let
it. Just read Mrs. Guerinot's letter. It is a characteristic
Hood's Sarsaparilla testimonial :
"My baby was
threo mouths old
when festers broke
out on his neck.
The openings ap
peared like, boils,
spread down his
back and along1 tho
spinal column until
it appeared as one
mass of sores. Our
doctor prescribed (or
tho case, but the
disease spread and
the little one's suffer
ings increased and
he became u mere
shadow. His p'tiful
wailing was heart-rending. It
nearly crazed me, weary and
worn-out as I was from constant
watching and nursing. The dig
charge of matter was so profuse
that it was necessary to dress his
back threo times a day. Every
time tho bandages were removed
blood would slow and for a time
even powders and different salves
did not chock the trouble. It be
came necessary to wrap the
little body in silk. When (he
trouble appeared at its height our
anxiety was increased by the ap
pearance of a boil just outside the
lid alongside one of his eyes.
We feared lest the scrofulous mat
ter gtt into the eye, and even if
his life was spared to us, that his
sight would becomo affected.
" I bad about given up hope of
saving my baby, when I was
asked why I did not try Hood's
Sarsaparilla. Eager for anything
that held out hope, I procured a
bottle ot Hood's. I also got a
cake of Hood's Medicated Soap
and a box of Hood's Olive Oint
ment. I immediately laid aside
all the doctor's medicines and
gavo tho infant the
smallest dose of the
Sarsaparilla pre
scribed, and then
took off the bandages
and washed the mass
of sores with tho
Medicated Soap.
Next I applied the
Olive Ointment and
adjusted a fresh
wrapping of silk.
A change was notice
able Uio next Sun
day, giving" assurance-
that we had at
last hit upon the
tt'OAtfYIAtlt in cnraaa.
fully battle the poisouous blood.
" Slowly but with a perceptible
gain, the discharge grew less, the
inflammation disappeared, the sur
rounding, skin took on a more
healthy color, and what a short
time before had been a mass ot
raw flesh began to scale over and
gradually a thin skin formed and
the scales dronnerf (iff. "Knt n irnr
or blemish around the eye, neck or i
ubck or anywnere on his body is
to be found, and now at eight
months old he is as bright, healthy
and full grown as any child of that
age. Less titan two bottles of
Hood's Sarsaparilla, aided by
Hood's Medicated Soap and Hood's
Olivo Ointment, accomplished this
wonderful cure.
' I cannot begin to express my
gratitudo towards Hood's Sarsapa
rilla and your other medicines for
the good they accomplished in my
baby's case." Mrs. N. GuEnraoT,
37 Myrtle St., Rochester, N. Y.
For tho cure of all blood diseases
and Spring Humors, Hood's Sar
saparilla is uuequslled. Try it.

VOU CANNOT successfully educate yourself through the mails by
enrolling with one of our Imitators. You are certain to lose the
money you pay for tuition, because their methods of instruction are
illogical, and the remits without value to any one desiring educa
tion for its practical use.
Our system of Correspondence Instruction in the Industrial
Sciences was originated in The International Correspondence Schools, of Scranton,
Pa., In October, 1891. Since that time, we have taught the Theory of the
Engineering Trades and Professions, as well as Aechanical and Architectural
Drawing, to thousands of Industrial workers, and have qualified them for respon
sible positions. Our rolls contain the names of students in every part of the civil
ized world,
That a method or an invention should thus extend around the globe, and rapidly
grow in favor with the lapse of time, is proof positive of intrinsic value.
These great results have been achieved by original methods of teaching
methods especially adapted to the end in view. Our Instruction and Question
Papers and our Drawing Platei differ widely from school and college textbooks,
and cost us over $300,000 to prepare and our Imitators are compelled to employ a
cheaper but an utterly Impracticable method that of using textbooks of colleges
and the universities.
If the Industrial classes could learn drawing and the mathematical and physi
cal sciences from ordinary textbooks, there would have been no field for The
International Correspondence Schools, and our grand army of 160,00a students
could never have been assembled.
Our instruction and Question Papers, and Drawing Plates, differ from the
textbooks used by students in the regular schools in the following important
respects :
FIRST: They are mastered more easily and in
leSS time. The theories and demonstrations of science
its abstractions are always difficult. Our textbooks contain only the facts,
principles, and processes absolutely required by the student in his trade or pro
fession. These are usually easy to learn and to apply. The workingman has not
the time to study all the matter contained in the school and college textbooks,
neither does his work require him to be strong in abstract theory. In the prepar
ation of our Instruction Papers, neith;r time nor expense is spared to secure the
greatest possible simplicity and ease of application, We do not occupy the time
of our students in the study of the derivation of rules and formulas; we teach
them how to apply rules and formulas,
SECOND: Th.eV are m0re PCtical. ordinary school
-'" v v ' "" " and college textbooks, such as are used by our Imitators,
contain no examples relating to Mining, Mechanics, Steam Engineering. Electricity,
Architecture, Plumbing, Heating, Ventilation, Sheet-Aletal'Hattern Drafting, or
Civil Engineering. In each of. our Courses, the examples and processes refer
directly to the trades or professions of the class of students.for whom the Course
was prepared: so that from the beginning our students are getting valuable
knowledge and are learning to apply it.
THIRD' 0ur textbooks are written by men strong
' both in theory and practice. The authors of
textbooks intended for use in colleges and universities have thorough scientific
training, indeed, but they have little or none of the knowledge that can be gained
only by doing by experience. They do not know, and, therefore, omit to mention
in their books, the way in which innumerable scientific facts may be applied in
simple operations of the trades or professions. These applications of science are
familiar onlv to the expert both in theory and practice, and only such men are em
ployed as Editors and Instructors by the Management of these Schools.
O
FOURTH' Tne men inat make our textbooks su
pervise the instruction of our students.
No one can teach the contents of a book so well as the man that wrote the book;
he knows better than any one else what is in the book, why It is there, and its
Importance with reference to the other parts of the entire subject.
FIFTH' They are frequently revised. Beint private
' " ' " property, protected by copyright, school and college textbooks
cannot be changed at the pleasure of those that use them. In order to correct wnat
Is wrong, improve what is faulty, smooth away difficulty, and insert what is of
later discovery, changes must be made very frequently. Our Instruction Papers
belong to us ; and in our Editorial Department, they are In constant comparison
with what is latest and best; faults, omissions, and crudities of everv kind are
therefore remedied without delay. In the case of textbooks on Applied Physical
Science, the need of revision occurs with special frequency. Take Electrical books,
f . example; many works on this subject printed five years ago are now nearly
. Jrthless, for the reason that they are out ol date.
1
SIXTH' We teach industrial drawing by an origl
' nal and very successful method, m Mechan
ical and Architectural Drawing, special Plates were prepared at an enormous
expense both in time and money. They have been copyrighted because they em
body a method of instruction entirely new one that has been extraordinarily pro
ductive of practical results.
Our students in drawing make as rapid progress in learning and become as
proficient as the students of the regular schools and collets. The principles un
derlvinu our system of teaching drawing are entirely different from those in the
systems employed in the regular schools, colleges, and universities, and there Is
no other system by which drawing Is taught as successtully through the mails.
Any system of education for people with limited time to devote to study by
the correspondence method that relies on the use of school and college textbooks
will end in failure; the student that pays his money for such tuition will get no re
turns.
If you want to educate yourself in the theory of your trade or profession, if
ou want to become a draftsman or to add to your earning capacity the strength
that COMES FROM THE UNION OF SCIfcNCli WITH PRACTICE, we can help
you.
