ON THE NtOIIT of October 2
thou- will bo u Brand concert
under the auspices of the
Young1 Women's Christian as
sociation, when out of town
talent will assist some of the most
notable of this city. The associa
tion work Is In dancer of belnc
seriously crippled for want of
funds. What that means to Scran
ton Is most Inadequately realized.
It would bo a lesser calamity if some
of the schools were closed, than to
have the noble efforts of this organ
ization languish in any degree for lack
of support. The central has threo
branches In the manufacturing' sec
tions of the city, where young girls
are helped to become good women, and
are given sympathy, proper compan
ionship nnd many privileges at tho
rooms. The support Is not worthy of
tills wealthy city, where so many thou
sands are freely given to all sorts of
enterprises. It Is due to this noble or
ganization that It should receive tha
hearty co-operation In the preventive
work which it so deftly accomplishes,
end now that It Is In financial straits
our people should bo swift to lend
their aid. It touches our municipality
at Its most vital point, the formation
of the character of its young women,
to many of whom in the darkness of
the coming weeks of suspense and des
titution in tho miners' homes, the
miners' families must look largely for
their support.
The concert, to which attention is
called above, Is to meet some of the
urgent necessities of actual running
expenses, and as such should be amply
encouraged. All entertainments are
hereby warned off for October 2, in
view of the Benefit concert to lie given
tothe Young Women's Christian asso
ciation. The Washington Star says of a
' golfer familiar to Scrantonians, and
who won the medal play at Tuxedo
this week:
Walter J. Travis, looking browner
and broader than ever, made his first
appearance since winning tho Garden
City championship In July and cap
tured the medal offered for the best
score. Travis' card was 156, which es
tablishes the competitive record of the
course. Frank Bohlen, of Philadelphia,
was another of the out-of-town repre
sentatives, and with him was W. C.
Carnegie, the Pittsburg amateur. In
fact, almost every golf club of note in
tho country figured in the entry list,
which included more than sixty In all.
A subscription dance will be given at
Lake Henry next Tuesday night, when
the society young people of the city
will bo in attendance. Miss Penny
packer and Mr. P. C. Fuller are direct
ing tho affair, which promises to be a
most delightful opening of what will
later prove a season of much gaiety.
A special train will leave the Erie and
Wyoming station at C.15, returning at
midnight. Rauer's orchestra will ac
company the party. The pavilion at
the lake has the best dancing floor to
bo found In this region, and with the
many unique features connected with
the event It will be enjoyable, indeed.
The chaperons will be Mr. and Mrs. E.
R. Jermyn, Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Von
Storch nnd Mr. nnd Mrs. Henry H.
Brady, jr. The danco will take place,
rain or shine.
Cards have been received by which
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Morton announce
the marriage of their daughter, Anna
Louise, to Mr. Hector Handel James.
The at home cards are for September,
at SCI Cedar avenue, Cleveland, O.

H HER POINT OF VIEW
THE SPECTACLE of several thous
and women praying industriously
for the defeat of such a man as
President McKlnley is, to say the
least, not edifying. It makes one a
little humiliated to be a woman at
such a time, when one's sex Is thus
disgraced. To be sure, It would be
worse if they could vote as well as
pray, and since they can only do the
one, the rest of us who still retain
our senses might be of service in re
turning thanks because of this limi
tation. There are times when the
BARG
votes of women might possibly old In
a good cause, but there nro moro times
when they would be catH for some
hysterical, fool sentiment. If the
women only realized it, this silly Idea
of a chain of prayers will Indefinitely
delay the franchise for which they
hnvo so long been clamoring. How
any Kane man could conscientiously
support a measure to give women the
ballot if they nro likely to do such
wild" and wlerd thlngi as this, is Im
possible to Imagine. It Is a thous
nnd pities that Francis Wlllatd were
not still allvo to use her personality
and rare good sense to save the or
ganization which she so loved from this
RUlcldal step. That she would protest
ngalnst such Idiocy Is as certain as
that she was a noblo ".oman Vith In
tellect nnd Judgment ot surpassing
greatness. That she has no successor
In the organization Is oil too evident.
It Is to be deplored that Its Rplcndld
history should be thus marred. It 1.4
a great satisfaction to discover that
Its main body and, Indeed, most of tho
state unions, do not approve such a
performance.
If it were not a serious subject, one
could smile at the apparent distrust
of Divine Intelligence In the presump
tion thus evident. How on earth a
parcel of women can reconcile their
conception of the Lord's powpr nnd
ability to understand human sltua-
tlons with their trivial nnd narrow In-
terpretatlon of the country's needs,
passes comprehension. That It is
necessary for them to acquaint the
Divine Ruler with their version of
the crisis Is ns ridiculous as It Is
fanatical.
If William McKinloy were a Boxer
nnd the women of our land were In
Imminent danger ot being subjected
to the atrocities perpetrated In China, I
there might be some reason In a con
certod prayer meeting in tho Interests
of his prompt removel. If ho were a
dissolute man: If ho were weak and
varcllatlng; If he were erratic In his
views and unsafe in his judgment: If
he were anything but what he Is, the
safest, bravest, wisest man for the
country In these critical years,
there might be an excuse for
such an attitude. Being the man
he is, it were more fitting that
nil the pure-hearted women of the land
dorp on their knees ot night and
dawn to thank a kind Providence that
sent him to us for thes times and to
beseech blessings and success for his
coming administration.
Some of the best people In the land
are interested in the temperance
movement. Many an Identified with
the Woman's Christian Temperanco
union nnd the Prohibition party. Many
and doubtless the majority, are con
scientious and devout In their belief
in the cause and Its ultimate triumph.
The chief ground for criticism Is that
too many feel that they have been
miraculously endowed with a monopo
ly of wisdom nnd conscientiousness,
and that all the other people are de
void of both qualities. This Is unfor
tunate. It Is always disastrous to our
cause when we labor under the hal
lucination that nil who differ from us
in views are eternally lost, or at least
thieves nnd robbers. We have to take
so many things on faith In this world
that It would bo much better for all
concerned If we could only concede the
fact that those who don't agree with
us fully may be a trifle better than
bandits or anarchists. Some of the
radical temperance advocates cannot
modify their Ideas to meet this con
ception. It was only a short time ago that
Dr. Swallow, of Harrisburg, tho per
ennnlal Prohibition candidate for of
fice, published a most scurrilous arti
cle In his Methodist Itevlcw. which
should cause that sheet to be repudi
ated by all Methodists. The article
in question should have come under
condemnation as obscene literature,
nnd aside fiom its character In the
way of language, should have been
suppressed because of the attack on
a woman. The subject or tne screea
was Mrs. William A. Stone, wife of
tho governor of Pennsylvania. The al
leged excuso for Its publication was
that she gave a reception and danco
at Mt. Gretna during the annunl en
campment of the state guard. Tho
vituperative remarks, tho vile epi
thets, the low allusions contained in
tho column devoted to this harmless
function would have been the star
leader in the journals not seen on
library tables. It was almost beyond
belief that a clergyman and a leader
of a noble cause couH have had a
vocabulary so profuse In terms not
known to polite literature. It was still
more Incredible that he could thus at
tack a lady whose gractousness and
hospitality are a prldo to the state,
and whose social entertainments nro
Irreproachable in character. Fanatl- visitor to a New Jersey resort to see
cism could go no further, but In this beautiful peaches at fifty cents a
case it was mingled wilh the gall of basket, for which she must pay $1.73
disappointed ambition and hatred of j in our markets. Yet the rates of transj
the Governor and his friends, for ' portatlon are so extreme that unless
whom he has fought &o valiantly. In
this case he would have been entirely
Justified had he descended upon the
Methodist Kevlew, and Incidentally.
Dr. Swallow, and systematically ex
terminated both. It Is by such attacks
nnd the "chain of prayer" for the
defeat of President McKlnley that the
temperance movement, which has had
the respect and support of the best
people of the country, is losing Its
position. To do such temperance work
as the Men's union of the city Is ac
complishing. Is the real mission of
tho "future nnd may be commended to
all oiganl7atlons which wish to make
good their determination to reform
society. If we must have "a chain of
prayer," why not take up the matter
of rain?

Tim PBOrOIVTIONS
of new Fall hats aio alarming, and a majority
are hideous Jumbled masses of mlrolr or panne
select and plumage. Eagle wing feather loaded
with djed clucurn or pigeon feathers attached In
circlets (alwa)a turning under) with small feath
ers pasted on the upper side, are totuldeiid the
acme of style, and pale blue Is often combined
wltii the "castor shades" in these remarkable
manufactures. They arc supposed to curl around
the brim of a hat and not unfrcqucntly are
double, with an owl's head at the center. Hugo
pompoms of small feathers, sometimes more than
six Indies h.gh, are supposed to take the place
of mammoth cnrjsaiitlicmums, and more delicate
ones of white or Hue feathers, sprinkled with
black spangles, possess a ray of civilization and
beauty.
PHLaSANT PLUMAGE
Is In great demand, also everything pertaining to
the peacock shades, and entire turbans of pea-
I cock plumage, with wings at the sides, are
termed stjllsh. Combination of three or more
kinds of feathers alTord additional brilliancy,
nml six or seien pairs of small wings on one

very large, but exquisite silk velvet roses ot all
fashionable hues, and three so- shades com

top of the is-ovvn.
TIIH FIBST WOOL FABniCS
Indicate considerable choice, as rough mixtures
suit slender people, while broadcloths, rlbellne,
Vcnrtinns, cashmeres, or sllk-warp Henriettas
console stout femlnlnes. Melrose suitings are a
combination, .or although not rough, they are
devoid of the "satin finish," as stylish now as it
was last spring. Camel's hair plaids in two or
three soft hues are very attractive, the ground
work being of small plaids, over which are the
large ones, the colors melting Into each other
by means of black or colored curls, tufting or
long hairs. Green, purple and black combine
charmingly, and, as usual, an endkss variety of
silk and wool or all-wool plaids arc shown for
misses or children.
I'OPLINS
have their position alo, and narrow woven or
I nilsed stripes, plush or silk dots of numerous
sizes on repped grounds, afford very pretty con
trasts, this stylo appearing in millinery itufTs
as well. Black goods are qulto prominent, and
small silken designs on a fine rep seem to be
the leading Idea. Braiding In two shades on
colored grounds bring about very striking re
sults; as, for example, white and black braiding
on dark b.ue, or jeuow and white on brown. A
Wat, silk cord has displaced the ordinary braid
and patches of gilt tinsel is Inserted in pluc
broadcloth, and braided around the edge In
fanciful figures, with blue and white silk braid.
Happily this extreme ornamentation is confined
to the front breadth and corsage, the remainder
being entirely plain. Very elegant Persian pat
terns in eaMimcrc are brought out for the same
purpose, and braiding entirely In gilt rivals in
brilliancy the gay Oriental hues.
TIIE "CASTOU SHADES" AND GREEN
arc supposed to be the leading colors, neverthe
less royal blue Is in great favor, and several oth
er blues also. Gray and dark brown dominate
heavy wools, and soft harmonics are more preva
lent than sharp contrasts, pink is prominent in
millinery, and "mahogany red," and numerous
nmon tints as well are conspicuous In millin
er)' and dry goods. Fannie Field.

TIIE canning and preserving season
Is now at its height, and despite
tho sweltering -weather of the past
week, quantities of fruit have been put
up by tho careful housekeeper. The
air is redolent of peaches, plums and
pickles In various stages of preserv
ing, spicing and canning, nnd It Is
probable that more fruit than usual is
, being thus prepared for winter. Many
nousewlves are, however, making less
provision In this wav than in years
past. With the improved transporta
tion facilities it Is possible to secure
fresh fruits at all seasons. Oranges,
bananas and apples arc always avail
able for an endless variety of desserts,
and tho vogue of ices and various
frozen dishes is so general that there
is less demand for canned fruits, which
entail so much labor and expense at
the time when sugar Is so high In
price. Strawberries arc to be bought
so very early In the season and peaches
last until so late that the table mav
be supplied with fresh fruit the year
round.
Peaches continue to bo high In price,
as they have been for the past threo
seasons. It Is discouraging for the
bought at the orchard, or within a
short distance, these prices must bo
paid.
Last week saw the finish of the Dela
ware crop. Many housekeepers think
that they cannot manage without the
rich, yellow peaches to be had from
that locality, and consequently cook
themselves at tho same time with tho
fruit In the canning operations. Happy
the woman who has domestic help
efficient enough to prepare and do up
her winter supplies. Even then it
means hot, tollsomo effort for some
body, If not the mistress, the cook.
For the next three weeks the Michi
gan crop will be In the markets. The
prices will keep up as at present, from
J1.-5 to $1.75 for good peaches. As thy
must come on ice, It Is possible that
a portion of the rich flavor Is lost, but
still It is a compensation to be able to
attend to their preserving during
cooler weather. Theie Is a promise of
a plentiful supply of plums and peais
for tho next fortnight.
Maine canteloupes are now coming,
and they are said to be good. The
only question requiring greater delib
eration, and yet being more uncertain
In the end than choosing a husband,
Is tho selection of melons for the
breakfast table. The r.ockyfords arc
now to be obtained.

Chronic Catarrh.
Mrs. Col. E. L. Gresham, Horndon,
Va Treasurer Daughters of the Con
federacy, also President Hernden Vil
lage Improvement Society, writes the
following to Dr. Hurtman In regard to
Pcrunu:
"I cannot speak too highly of the
value of Peruna. I believe that I owe
my life to its wonderful merits. I suf
fered with catarrh of the head and
lungs In Its worst form until tho doc
tors fairly gave me up, nnd I despaired
of ever getting well again.
"I noticed your advertisement and
the splendid testimonials given by peo
ple who had been cured by Peruna,
and determined to try a bottle. I felt
but little better, but used a second and
a third, and kept on Improving slowly.
"It took six bottles to cure me, but
they were worth a king's ransom to
me. I talk Peruna to all my friends
and am a true believer in its worth."
Mrs. Col. E. L. Gresham.

Catarrh is a very frequent cause of that class of diseases popularly known as female woaknoss. Catarrh ol
the pelvic organs produces such a variety of disagreeable and irritating symptoms that many people in fact,
tho majority of people have no idea that they are causocl by catarrh.
A great proportion of womon have some catarrhal weakness which has boon called by tho various doctors
she has consulted, by no many different names. These womon have boon treated and have taken medicines with
no relief, simply because tho remodios are not adapted to catarrh. It is through a mistaken notion as to tho real
nature of the diseases that theie modicinos have been recommended to them.
If all women who are suffering with any form of ftmale weakness would write to Dr. Hartman, Columbus,
Ohio, and give him a complete description of their symptoms and the peculiarities of their troubles, he will im
mediately reply with complete directions for treatment, freo of charge.

For Waldorf salad ue two cups of oelcry cut
fine, one dozen walnut meats, blanched and
chopped line, grated rind of one ounge, one
cup ot apples cut In dice; serve with mayon
naise dressing.
Toilet recipes have been asked and
the following sachet formulas are con
tributed: A tachet of long lasting fragrance can be
made to Imitate the scent of verbenas by saving
the peels of lemons that come into the house
hold and mixing them with caraway feeds.
Take half an ounce of the powdered seed
and half a pound of the powdered lemon peel.
The peelings can be ground in an oiJIiury kitch
en coffee mill. Mix: the two powders will to
gether ad pour over It all a mheure cf ore ard
a half drai Inns of oil of lemon peel and three
ounces of oil of bcrgamot. TliU makes :i daii.ty
powder for tarliets to use in the bureau drawers,
linen closets, hat boxes, handkerchief cases, etc.
It i (called the verbena sachet.
A rather expensive sachet, but one that well
pajs for the making, is eompoed thus: Oil
of patchouli, '3 drachm; oil of ro-,o geranium, l3
drachm; attar of rocs, k drachm; oil of sandal
wood, 1 drachm; oil of lavender, I drachm; oil
of cloves, 'fe drachm; oil of bergamot, 3i
drachma; extract of muk, 'i drachm, 4 drachm;
mix well and add to 2 drachma of this compound
1 ounce of powdered orris root, 1 drachm Ton
quin beans and 2 ounces silted pine sawdust.
This is a favorite sachet for veil rolls and
shirt waist boxes. The perfume can be re
newed by dropping occasionally a few drops of
the scented oils on the sachets.

The glamour of romance which lias always sur

fact that Mr. O'Neill has pl.ijcd Hie pjrt oier
3,010 times, the theatric-ill nice ess nt "Monte
Crlsto," as Indicated by continued acceptance,
lias far surpassed that cl all its contempoury

the ficellcnt acting ol Mr. O'Neill, since no
other actor has been able to score mqro than a
temporary success in the role cl Kdmond Dante,
Although the star has on nunu-ious occasions

Miss Mattlo L. Guild, President Illi

perance I'nlon, In a recent letter from
Chicago, 111., says:
"I doubt If Peruna has a rival In all
the remedies recommended today for
catarrh of the system. A remedy that
will cure catarrh of tho stomach, will
cure the same condition of the mucous
membrane anywhere. I have found It
the best remedy I have ever tried for
catarrh, and believing It worthy my
endorsement, I gladly accord It." Yours
truly, Mattlo L. Guild,
President I. Y. P. C. T. IT.
Weakness of the nervous system not
only produces catarrh of the mucous
membrane, but also causes nervous
prostration In some cases, and different
degrees of nervous debility, derange
ments of the stomach, sleeplossncss
and tired out feelings.
Depression of the nervous system Is
a fertile source of blood Impurities.
Peruna invigorates the system and
produces regular sleep. It builds up
the system run down by overwork.
