STRIKERS GAINING GROUND.
Bricked by tho Committee of Mine
Workcrn They Win Accessions.
Tho striking silk mill hands gained
considerable headway yesterday in
their work of getting the non-union
workers out of the mill's employ. Tho
mine workers have now espoused tho
cause of the strikers nnd havo issued
n manifesto telling the members of
their union that they should not ullow
their children to work In the mill until
the demands of the strikers havu been
granted. As 11 consequence, the com
mittee of tho strikers say, a largo
number of those who have been work
in? there havo quit.
Yesterday the committee of the strik
ers made an early visit to the mill and
met the limited force going to work.
They mingled with the non-union boys
and fjlils and after a little persuasion
three of tho Intending tollers turned
around and started back for home. At
noon another visit was made, and this
time seven recruits shut tho doors of
the mills after them from tho outside.
At 11.30 live more converts wore won
and at quitting time last night one
more promised not to go to work
ngaln. This mnkrs sixteen for the day.
Tho miners have taken a decided
stand on this question. Every child
who Is now working at the mill has
his name taken and his or her parents
nro visited and Informed of the fact
that a strike Is on, and If the father Is
a miner ho Is told that the United Mine
AVorkers cannot view with favor bis
child working In a non-union mill.
Yesterday Marcus Erieder, superin
tendent of the company, In a com
munication to an evening paper, at
tacks with severity the Idea of labor
organizations not composed of his em
ployes making demands upon the com
pany, lie says that tho company has
offered to pay the expenses of a com
mittee to visit mills of like character,
but no committee has yet been ap
pointed. Ho also offers to submit thu
question as to whether or not tho
lClots Throwing company pays as good
or better wages than like mills, to
Itev. Father Coffey.
Ho threatens, if forced, to shut down
the local mill, not to raise the wages
but to do the work elsewhere. "While
we shall suffer, we shall not suffer
nlone. and It Is a question whether or
not they who will thus be compelled
to remain Idle and the business people
of Carbondale will not regret as deeply
us we may that our mill has been
closed."
In ariswer to this the members of tho
miners' committee held a meeting in
the mayor's room In the city building
last evening to prepare a reply. The
strikers' committee met with them nnd
slated their side of the case. The
strikers say that It may be true that
in soma of the mills down the valley
the boys employed In slmllur work
may get but a dollar or two a week,
but that Is no reason why they should
not get more. In the local mill, they
claim, the- machinery runs at tho rate
or 23,000 revolutions an hour, fully 7,
000 or S.OOO more than in any other
mill in this section, requiring double
the attention, llesldes this, they say.
the system of docking and lines here
brings their wages down to as low a
basis as those out of the city, no mat
ter what the scale promised. Tho local
company is equipped with different
machinery from any other mill, and
the work Is more complicated, accord
ing to tho lato tollers there.
In regard to the proposition of Mr.
Frledcr to submit tho whole question
to Jtov. Father Coffey, the strikers say
they would be satisfied to do so, but
think It would be better to havo an
aibitratlon commlt'teo of throe or
more, one to bo appointed by them
and one to be chosen by tho two. In
this way. while they aro convinced of
Father Coffey's fairness, they would
be more satisfied.
it begins to look now as If this strike,
which has existed forover eight weeks,
would be settled In n short time. It is
to bo sincerely hoped so, for tho strik
ers nnd the company havo each suf
fered much loss during tho long dis
pute. THE PROPOSED NURSES' HOME.
A Most Worthy Subject for Some
fWell-to-Do Citizen to Consider.
Tho proposal set forth In Wednes
day's Tribune to build a nurses' home
as an unnex to the F.mergoncy hospl
tal In this city, has been generally dls
cussed the past two days. Last even
ing tho Leader, ot this city, dis
cussed tho subject on its editorial
pag and lent additional arguments to
show 'that such a building Is urgently
required.
Tho excellent service that bus been
given at our local hospital, bus
brought patients to It from many
points, oven far from the city, and
today this institution is crowded to a
most uncomfortnhlo degree. As
pointed out In Tho Tribune, the nurses
havojieen forced to yield their own
comfort nnd give tip their own rooma
to natlenta In need of care, nncfesurgl
enf attendance. Even tho nurses' par
lor, the one place that could be here
tofore regarded ns their private quar
ters, has now been given up to pa
tients. At tho best -of times these women
hnvo a hard, tllsoinc, Bottlers life, and
when off duty they should havo a
houro npart from the scenes of their
dnllyvocntlons. Such a house could
be erected' within tho hospltnl grounds

at a small cost, nnd yet bo largj
enough to shelter nil tho nurses em
ployed nt tho hospital, each having
their own private apartment and with
a parlor In which those off duty could
associate nnd enjoy Ihclr hours of
wakefulness when not nt tho bedside
of a sufferer.
A number of local phllanthoplsta or
citizens nnxlous to do good with their
means could combine for this most
worthy project nnd tho division of ex
pense would render It easier to nil,
or some one twin or woman, Inspired
by n feeling of public wcirare, should
erect a modest dwelling ns suggested
as a memorial to some of their loved
ones whom this Institution has bene
fited or whose sufferings havo been al
leviated there.

BOARD OF HEALTH'S MEETING.
Will Enforce the Vaccination of Pu
pils Before January 21.
The board of health of Carbondalo
hold a meeting In their room In tho
city building last night. Those pres
ent were Dr. J. S. Nlles, president; G.
W. Evans, secretary; P. F. Moflltt,
sanltnry officer; A. D. Wyllle and E.
H. W. Burke, members.
Tho most important business trans
acted was a discussion of enforcing the
vucclnntlon of the pupils of tho public
schools. It was decided to stand by
their resolution of recent date to not
allow any pupil to uttend public school
who is not vaccinated or who has not
had smallpox, by January 21.
An agent for a "vaccination shield,"
designed to protect punctured arms
from Injury, appeared before the board
and extolled the merits of his device.
A discussion took place as to the vac
cination of poor children at the cost of
the vaccine, but as this cannot be done
at the already overtaxed hospital and
as no physician can bo found who will
do it, it hardly seems possible this can
be effected.
A Valuable Newspaper.

Mr. Van Gorder has It In u framo with
glass on each sldo of the paper, so as
to preserve it from the ravages ot time
and careless fingers. The paper has
several columns of quaintly worded
advertisements, among them several
announcements of Imported articles
which wero for sule "by permission ot
the merchants' committee," showing
that tho leaders of the "Boston Ten
Party" were precise In what sold as
products of the mother country. Tho
paper has been In Mr. Van Gorder's
family for sixty years or more, being
handed down as an heirloom from,
father to son. Tho present owner has

BRONCHIAL TUBES AND LUNGS.
THEIR CURATIVE TREATMENT
by the
Drouet Method.
This method of treating tho ntxiva
diseases wna originated by the cele
brated French physician, Dr. Drouet,
of Paris. Tho treatment consists In
the direct application to tho mucous
membranes of upeclflo remedies, which
act by gradual Impregnation on the
diseased tissues with remarkably suo
cessful results. A most ingeniously
constructed Instrument and apparatus
Is required to carry out this mode of
treatment. By Its use every portion of
the Nose, Throat, Larynx, etc., nro
Illuminated for the purpose of diag
nosis and treatment. The remedies nnd
medicines are introduced to tho dis
eased tissues In tho form of vapors and
medicated air, which produces a mild
and soothing effect upon tho congested
nnd inflamed membranes. A slnglo
trial of this treatment will convince
any one of its 'bonoflclal effects.
This method of treatment Is now In
troduced from Europe in the United
States for the first time. Its advant
ages, etc., will be fully explained at
tho offices of tho

JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

event of tho borou,'.. making a ten
year contract with tho company to
pay Into the borough treasury $700 and
lu the event of other companies In tho
valley reducing tho price his company
would make a corresponding reduction.

matter was, by motion of Rawilng, de
ferred until next meeting. Chairman
Badger, of tho commltco appointed to
