MEREDITH'S GRAVE.
Suaquohannn's Strike Experience.
Hon. Jnmes T. DuBois a Favorite
Son Tho Discovery of a Big Footed
Reptile Dots and Dashes An
Episode of tho Cistern.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, Sept. 11. A bill Is
being drafted nnd will he presented
at the next session of the Legisla
ture of this state, to appropriate the
necessary sum to erect a monument
over the grave of Samuel Meredith,
the first treasurer of the United States.
In a neglected, unmarked grave at
Relmont, Wayne county, near tho Jef
ferson division of the Krle railroad,
rests the remains of the fit st treasurer.
He wns appointed by Washington In
1789, In the days of Alexander Ham
ilton and held tho office until 1S01, re
signing (luting the administration of
Thomas Jefferson. He received the
commendntlon of congress nnd of
President Jefferson. Ho gave $20,000 In
silver to the starving patriots at Val
ley Forge.
In 1776, Meredith purchabed several
thousand actos of land In Wayne
county. His object was to cut the tim
ber from the tract, burn It and manu
facture theiefrom potash nnd pcar
llne for commeice. The venture failed
to pay and was nbnndoncd. Upon re
signing as treasurer, Meredith re
moved with his family to Wayne coun
ty, nnd at Relmont erected a home
costing $10,000. It wan a mansion for
those days, and was visited by Presi
dent Jefferson and other great men.
Meredith died In 181", almost alone
and forgotten. He left a distinguished
family in Philadelphia and elsewhere,
but none of them have ever raised a
slab to his memory. Congress and
the leglslatuie of Pennsylvania, have
at different times been asked to erect
a monument to the memory of this
great man, but no definite action has
ever been taken. The Daughters of
the American Revolution are Interest
ed In this latest movement.
SUSQUEHANNA HAD ONR.
Men should think about forty times
before they strike once. Susquehanna
had a big, long strike once upon a
time, and for ten years afterward
times were so hard In the old town
thnt you couldn't cut them with an
axe. Nobody has since yearned for a
strike.
A "FAVORITE SON."
Hon. James T. Du Hols, of Halstead,
our consul general to Switzerland, will
speak, during the campaign, In West
Virginia, Of him tho Blnghamton Re
publican says: "When the assistant
secretary of state, who has charge of
the consular work, was In Europe last
November he said the conspicuous
successes In the consnlar service were
thiee consuls-general whdm he men
tioned and Mr. Duliols was one of
these. One of the others was Consul
Oeneral Mason, of Berlin, who has
been in the service for about twenty
yenis. Mr. DuBois Is comparatively n
new man In consular work, but the ef
fective assistance he rendered Apprais
er Wakeman In breaking up the under
valuation frauds on Swiss embroideries
has given him almost a national rep
utation. For an ofTlcer comparatively
Inexperienced to be thus' singled out
among several hundred of his col
leagues, as one of the three conspicu
ous successes In the consular service,
Is a compliment as distinguished as It
Is deserved."
BIG-FOOTED REPTILES.
A great discovery of fossil foot
prints was tecently made In a quarry
near Foiest City. In a clear surface
of" shale are seen nbotit forty tracks.
Nearly all of them are In rows, the
largest one containing sixteen tracks.
Tho tracks arc from six to eight Inches
In length, and were probably made
by a leptllo that. If It had front feet,
seldom used them. This is, without
doubt, the largest uncovering of tracks
within ten years.
DOTS AND DASHES.
A sewing bee can't sting, hut It does
lots of buzzing.
An optlmlht Is a woman with a sea
cloak and hat. A pessimist Is a wo
man without either.
What a dull, stupid world this would
be w Ithout any sea serpents In the
summer and daisies and dandelions in
mid-winter. '
A rubber-neck was recently killed
near Starrucca. It had the faculty of
swallowing its oytn neck.
Never argue with a bull, a mad dog
or an editor.
The man t..at all the town admires,
And calls the "boss Euprlser,"
Has everything his hort desires.
He's the leading advertiser.
A CISTERN EPISODE.
Mrs. Rollins, Of Cascade Valley, has
long desired to visit relatives at Kala
mazoo, but her husband has strenu
ously objected. She has coaxed and
threatened for three years, but the old
chap has been obdurate. He has
been "sot."
Last Saturday Rollins was cleaning
out a deep cistern, using a limp lad
der, to descend and ascend. Mrs. Rol
lins pulled up the ladder, and then
usked permission to go to Kalamazoo,
but Rollins refused and told her to
go to a warmer clime than the celery
city. In three hours, the wife again
visited the cistern, and this time her
husband wns tired .and hungry, and
he lelented, and the ladder went down
after ho had promised to let his wife
visit her relatives. He said a few
things when he reached the surface,
but he Is a man of his word, and the
white dove of peace again broods over
the home of the Rollins'.
NEGATIVE DISTINCTIONS.
In Arai at there Is a farmer nearlv
86 years old, who Is not wise In the
ways of tho world. He has never seen
a piano, has never been ten miles on
a railroad, never wore a collar or neck,
tie, and has never had on a pair of
socks.
MATTERS IN GENERAL.
They thought they had found a girl
In Great Bend who had died of a
broken heart, but an autopsy revealed
the fact that she owed her taking
off to dyspepsia. However, It Is pret
ty near the same thing.
Eight times out of ten the man who
attempts to do too much for a church,
a party, a society, a village, a city, or
an Individual, Is misrepresented, mis
guided and Ire the end misused.
It was a baldheaded man who orig
inated the motto, "There Is room at
the top."
A Blnghamton paper wants to know,
"why It Is, with so many Negroes dy
ing, nobody ever sees a black ghost?"
It is for the sumo reason that with so
many white people dying, nobody ever
sees a whlto ghost.
The war on Trusts continues. It Is
said to have extended to the bar
rooms. Whitney

Wabash, Pr 16, 18,4 lS'i lb;
The woman on the Wall.
She regards her fair face in the mirror with justi
fiable pleasure. A fair woman has a right to rejoice
in her beauty; io mooth checks, bright eyes, ruddy
lips, and rounded throat.
But there is a woman on the wall watching ; a
shadowy woman with thiu checks and wasted hands.
The young wife does not see the woman oil the
wall. If she did she would only smile at the
grotesque shadow-picture. How can a shadow so
distort the beauty which casts it?
"Coming events cast their shadows before."
In that worn nnd wasted shadow of a woman on
the chamber wall there is a forecast of a day all too
near at hand, when the cheeks shall lose their soft
ness, the eyes look dully out upon the world, the
pouting lips shrink and shrivel, and the rounded
throat grow lean. The changes which marriage
often makes in women are matters of common note.
"How terribly Mrs. Youngbride has fallen off in
her looks. She's only the shadow of her old self."
So people whisper as they look at the young wife
whose beauty is already in process of eclipse
WHAT CAUSES ARE AT WORK
To undermine the beauty and strength of married
women? To an
swer that ques
tion it is only nec
essary to ask and
answer another
question : What
causes are at work
to undermine the
health ? For
health is the
foundation upon
which womanly
strength and
beauty must rest.
What causes these
terrible headaches
which ring the
eyes with dark
circles and wrink
le the smooth
brow. What
causes the back
ache, the nervous
ness, and sleep
lessness which
result in the weak
and wasted form
and pinched fea
tures? Let a
woman answer
that question a
woman who
speaks out of an
experience of ten
years of suffering :
"For ten years I
suiTered with female
trouble, also catarrh
of the stomach, liver
and kidney troubles,
and catarrh of the
bladder," writes Mrs.
Lottie M. Douglas, of Glenmore, Oneida Connty , N. Y. "I
would have very hard headaches and blind spells; stomach
and bowels used to bloat a great deal, and 1 was troubled
with bearing-down piins all the time. Tongue cannot tell
how much I suffered from nervousness. I used to think I
should lose my mind, my head would feel so bad. My heart
was so bad that the least excitement, and even to turn over in
bed, would cause palpitation. Had female weakness so bad
for three years that I was in bed most of the time; in fact,
could scarcely be on my feet at all. I tried seven different
doctors, but received no lasting benefit I was entirely dis
couraged when I wrote to Dr. Pierce, stating my case. He
advised me to try his remedies, and I did so. The first bot
tle I took helped me, and the bloat began to get out of my
stomach. I continued the medicine until I had taken nine
bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and nine bottles
of his 'Golden Medical Discovery' and six vials of his
' Pleasant Pellets.' I also followed special directions for
home treatment (which he advised), and Hie result wns wan.
derful. My bad feelings left me and I can work with com
fort now. I give all the praise to Dr. Pierce and his reme
dies, for I believe they saved my life. Our family physician
said I could not get well."
WQMEFJ, THINK QF THISF
If you follow out the clue of headache, backache,
the physical torment and mental misery endured by
women, you will nnd it lead to a diseased condition
of the delicate womanly organism. Cure that dis
eased condition and the effects of it in head, back,
and nervous system will be cured too.
'8 f&( JSX
'n '"' yi'YTv Mt, u v sv I "
The general health of every woman is so in
timately related to the local health of the womanly
organism that when this is diseased the whole body
must suffer.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a medidnc
specially prepared to cure the ailments and diseases
peculiar to women. It contains no alcohol, neither
opium, cocaine, nor any other narcotic. It is
purely vegetable and will not disagree with the
weakest constitution. The results produced by its
use are marvelous, because it cures the causes
which undermine the womanly health and strength.
It regulates the periods, dries the drains which
weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration,
and cures bearing-down pains and female weak
ness. The scope of "Favorite Prescription" may
be summed up m the statement : " makes weak
women strong, sick women well."
NO LONGER A WALKING SKELETON.
"I endured nearly four years of Kiflering," writes Mn.
J. h. Myers, of Washington, West Virginia, "caused princi
pally from improper medical nttentiott after the birth of a
child, and female weakness, resulting in a complication of
diseases. I suffered from bilious attacks, kidney trouble,
palpitation of the heart, and numerous other ailment. Had
a terrible cough and
an incessant pain
and soreness in
lungs. Was reduced
in flesh from 184
pounds to about loo
jiounds in eighteen
months. I had no
appetite, and became
so weak and nervous
I could scarcely tit
' up. I doctored with
our home doctors,
taking an indescriba
ble amount of medi
cine, for two years.
Became disheartened
and disgusted at the
Uiougnt of medicine,
for none had ever
done more than give
relief for a very snort
time, and seemingly
made my suffering
greater. I was final
ly induced to try Dr.
Pierce's medicines.
wrote to the Inva
lids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, re
garding my cast, and
received a prompt re
ply free, advising the
proper medicines for
my ease. I obtained
the medicine of the
druggist, and after
taking four bottles of
Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery
and four of his ' Fa
vorite Preseriutlon.'
three doses each day,
also taking one bot
tle of Dr. Pierce's
Compound Extract
of Smart -Weed and
some of his ' Pellets,'
I experienced decided
benefits. I ceased
coughing, and am
now enjoying splendid health, and have gained thirty-five
pounds in weight I again feel like my former self,
thanks to Dr. Pierce and his great medicines. I am no
longer tht 'walking skeleton ' 'that X was a few montha
ago. I gladly ami cheerfully recommend Dr. Pierce'
great medicines to my friends, and especially to all suffer
ing women."
There is no stronger proof of the sound remedial -
value of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription tnan in
that it restores the wasted form to its wemted round
ness. Alcoholic or narcotic medicine will make one
"feel good" for a time, the one by stimulating, the
other bv stunefvinfr the nervous system. But there.
is no real gain. "Favorite Prescription " tranquil-'
izes the nerves by feeding them, and builds up the
body by nourishing it.
Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce,
by letter, free. All correspondence is guarded as
sacredly secret and womanly confidences are pro
tected by professional privacy. Address Dr. R. V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
Accept no substitute for "Favorite Prescription."
The dealer may be tempted by the little larger profit
paid by less meritorious articles to offer a substi
tute as "just as good" as "Favorite Prescription."
There is nothing just as good for weak and sick
women as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
