Montrose.-, Sept. 12.--Tilt's was fire
nieii'B dny In Monti ose and. though
the weather was thrcatenlnu In the
morning, towards noon It began to
btculc nway and later the sun shono
benignly upon the paraders, but tho
disagreeable wind kept up all day and
the dust was almost unheal able
The line formed at 1 30 on Monument
Suuuic anil, led by Chief Engineer T.
D. Payne and assistants, to Irsph Inn
music furnished by Hullard's band, of
llallstead, the parade murched through
the principal thurmiKhfaies of the
town, oountermaifhuil on l'ubllc ave
nue. a roxlewed by IJuigess U.
Jan.cs MoCausland and a number of
the borough count 11 from the b.ilcony
of the Taibell House, and it was then
dismissed
follow Ing the parade tho quarters
of the several companies and tho ap
paratus were Inspected by the borough
authoiltles. The Inspection was gen
eially satisfactory, but a few weak
points wcie discovered, which will,
doubtless, be remedied at an early date.
No town of its size in Northeastern
Pennsylvania can boast of a btt-.r
iqulppcd fire department than Mont
rose, and but few possess Its equal.
The companies made a remarkably tine
appearance today and elicited hearty
applause and many tavoinble com
ments from the multitude of spectator-
that banked the streets on either side
along the line of maich. The only crit
icism heard was that the full strength
of the companies did not turn out. It
Is deemed o pity that all members of
Ihe department do not show an equal
Intel (st in the exercises of this, the
one day In tho year given exclusively
to the flicmcn.
Theie were no visiting companies to
il iy but plans are already making for
acli of the three companies to enter
tain next year.
The people of Montrose have long
ilcpn gieat pride In their fit e depait
i -tit, nnd its appearance today do
i i iMtiated that their pride Is justi.b'1.
i o e-x -He-nt condition and high de
o o.' olllcUncy which the depart
nt tijoys is lmpely due to the ener
aiid pMseseinnce of Chief Payne.

Mr niiKburg, and afterwnrds gae out
following statement:
"The white men employed nt the
I'lrtek Diamond Glass factoiy quit
wen It today b"cause of the employment
f colored men as bloweis. We have
'her leasons for dissatisfaction with i
the owneip of the plant which we -will
make public later. We weie given to
understand that the colored men weie
nut to be put to vvoik today, but as
they were asfemblej nt the office we
1 1. solved to quit."
Tlie men claim that they do not ob
ject to the colored men as helpers, but
whon It comes to them as handling the
sime tools thev thought It was too
much to ask.
Mr. Milton Yetler, a leading mem
ber of the Black Diamond company,
said today: "It was our Intention to
operate the plant with colored help,
and a number of white men at the
factoiy were aware of It. I am at a
loss to know what the quitting of the
men is for."
PITTSTON.
Special to the Scranton Tr'bune.
Pittston, Sept. 12 A meeting of
merabeis of the Pennsylvania Coal
company keg funds was held in Key
stone hall last evening for the purpose
of effecting an executive organization
of tho keg funds of the district. The
Idea Is to make an arrangement where
by a member can be transferred from
one keg fund to another without the
payment of an extra Initiation fee. At
Sppliigiim
Is the sweetest season in human life, as
it is in Nature generally. It is the time
of promise. As the young girl draws
near to that mysterious line "Where
womanhood and girlhood meet," her
whole destiny is in a measure being de-
termineu. now
often the sw eet
young girl, under
the influence of
the change, with
ers and droops
like some blighted
bud. Nature gen
erally needs some
little help at this
critical period, and
this help in its
best form is con
tained in Doctor
Tierce's Favorite
Prescription. It
establishes regu
larity, and gives
the vigor of per
fect health to the
womanly organs.
It contains no al
cohol, neither opi
um, cocaine, nor
other narcotic.
