The zenl and the eloquence of the mis

fested 111 the crowded attendance at
each of the dally services, particularly
In the evening, when tit. Tloso church,
With lis large capaHty. was tilled to
ovorllowlng, and even the sanrttmry

The close of the mission last evening
v. ns marked by a beautiful ceremony,
. 'untltlcul vespers. The ceremonial fol
lnwed on this occasion is rarely used,
only on the more Important feasts, anil
the privilege or tt.s u.sp last night fol
lowed the fruits of the week's labors.
I'ontlflcal vespers differ from the us
ual Sunday vespers In the elaborate
musical arrangemant of the psalms
and the circumstance of the officers
of the ceremony being robed in full
vestments, as In the celebration of the
II1IIS.
The imparting of the papal benedic
tion by the missionaries brought the
successful mission to a close.

SEMI-CENTENNIAL SOUVENIRS.
Some Interesting Historical Relics
That Have Been Brought to Light.
Among tho many interesting histori
cal relies which have been nenulrcd in
tho preparation of the soml-ccntennlal
celebration details tiro the platu of tho
first seal of the city and n picture pt
"the old log tavern," the llrst house
erected In Carbondulc.
The seal was cut out of a block of
lignum vltno about two Inches square.
Some one has used his pon-knlfu on
the back of the block In tin attempt
to cut It, hut tlio face Is unmarred
and In as good condition ns when
made.
The design of the seal Is decidedly
primitive and exemplltles our princi
pal Industry of early times, in n cir
cle on the words, "Seal of the City of
Carbondtile," and within theso uro a
pick and shovel crossed. The origin
of this coal of ni'ina conies from tho
fact that tlio name "Carbontlald" was
llrst seen on 11 packngo of tools sent
to the miners at this place. This sent
will lie 11 feature of each cartlflcate of
membership In this semi-centennial as
sociation, which will be issued to sub
scribers. The seal will be printed In
gold direct from the original block.
Tho second principal "find" is a pic
ture of tile "Old Log Tavern," the
first house erected in Carbomlale. It
Is a great curiosity mid It unique from
the fact that there Is probably no oth
er in existence. It appears to have
been sketched In ink and was then
colored as true to nature as possible.
Put the entire work is done crude. This
gives added Interest to the picture,
however, as It speaks plainly of the
conditions then existing. It is "the
property of Townsend Poore, of Scran
ton, who was one of tho chain boys
who helped to run out the city lines
on Jan. 1, lS.'T. It formerly belonged
to his father, J. M. Poorc, one of the
pioneers of this section.
The painting shows u long, low
house with four windows and a door
in the front. There Is also tho com
pany's ofllces and another small addi
tion. What is apparently the bluff at
Sundy's field is shown at the roar ant
a tiny building is standing there. A
cut of the 'log tavern is to ba made
for use in tho souvenir descriptive and
commemorative of the semi-centennial
and Cnrbondale from 1S27 to 1001.
FOR DECORATION DAY.
Commander John McComb Has the
Programme.
The programme for the celebration,
of Decoration day by the Grand Army
of the Republic post Is under way.
The programme, and the varied de
tail .work that it entails, is being pre
pared by Commander John McComb,
whose peculiar fitness for the position
Is generally appreciated.
Commander McComb has already
given much attention to his task, and
each day adds to the details that are
decided upon.
So far as has beep decided, the cus
tomary parade and decorating of de
parted heroes' graves will take place,
and In the evening the post members
will assemble to attend the entertain
ment that the High school is arranging
for that evening.
Another custom tbatwlll be observed
is the discourse to the veterans by one
of the local pastors.
The honor this year has been prof
fered to Kev. Mortimer C. Elliott, pas
tor of the First Congregational church
on Eight li avenue, who has accepted.
The Woman's Jtelief corps and the
Sons of Veterans will be guests on tills
occasion. The discourse will be deliv
ered on Sunday evening, May :!.
METROPOLITAN QUARTETTE.
May Be Heard in This City Before
the Season Closes.
Certain public spirited citizens who
l'fivo been successful in providing ("ar
bouilule with a number of delightful
c-.ntertainmouis by artists of renown
are now endeavoring' to secure u con
cert by the Metropolitan male quar
tette of New York city. Tho Star Ly
ceum bureau of New York announces
this quartette out as its strongest
musical attraction. Fifteen years of
unsurpar-is-ed success has attended these
artists, j.nd during that time they
1 have been the central nttructlon in
' noted musical gatherings. This quar
tette bore the leading part in solo and
quartette work In the fninoug Hv0
days' festival at Manhattan liesich last
season by Sousa's band, and have tho
highest personal endorsement of John
Philip Sou?.
There would probably be some risk
in attempting to bring so high priced
on organization hero so late in the
i'. . on. yet the people of Carbondalo
1 : oiu fail to give good support to high
cl-.ss nimlcal performances.

Mr. Hugh Larkln, of 317 North Vuti
Huron avenue, Hyde Park, employed
In tho mines, says: "I Buffered from
kidney nnd bladder trouble for six or
seven years. There was a constant,
dull, nchlng pain in tho smull of my
back, extending around my hips, I took
:old easily und at such times It was
ucltial torture for 1110 to stoop or
straighten, and nt night I could lutrdly
turn over In bed. A bladder trouble
also gave mo much suffering. I used
several remedies, but could not get
tho desired relief. I was laid up for
some mouths, i had the doctor and
used his medicines, but with little ban
etlt. A friend who 'had been trouble
as I was recommended Doan's Kid
ney Pills so highly that t gave up oth
er remedies and got them at Matthews
Brothers' drug store. I felt their ben
otlclal effects nftcr 11 few days und I
continued taking them until 1 had
used three boxes, when the pain In my
back and bladder disappeared. Last
spring when I caught a most severe
cold I had a return of my back
trouble, which affected the kidney se
cretions. I got two boxes of Doan's
Kidney Pills and they promptly re
lieved me of all the trouble, as they
had done formerly. My wife joins me
In recommending this remedy nt every
opportunity."

Four hundred years ago the entire
world produced and found use for sixty
thousand tons of Iron annually; today
It produces and uses forty million tons
every year, a growth so marvelous as
to surpass belief were It not verified by
ligures which cannot be disputed. Four
hundred years ago the United States
were not in existence; in 1583 iron ore
wan discovered In what is now North
Carolina and the first attempt to
manufacture It was made in Virginia
in lt!ll. In 1BI3-45 a blast furnace was
built at Lynn, Mass., and three years
later a forgo was erected. Interference
by legislation of the British parliament
stopped the work for a time, but It was
resumed later, and in 1740 one thousand
tons of iron were produced. In 1790 the
United States gave to the world KO.OOO
tons of Iron, and was exceeded among
iron producing countries by Great
Britain, France and Germany. In 1S00
it produced 40.00U tons, tielng with Ger
many; then it went forward at great
leaps until 1S70, when, with an output
of 1,670,000 tons, it. had passed France
and stood second to Great Britain, the
leader -of the Iron world for four hun
dred years.
For about twenty-five years tho two
great nations stood in this relation,
the United States gaining a. little one
year to lose it another, but in 1SS0,
alter a Titanic I'.ico of over one bun
dled years, we forged to tho front and
led tho lenJer of the world of nations
with tho production of 0,202,70:5 tons,
an increase over the British output of
1.20S.489 tons. AVe held the lead for,
three years, but in 1S91 we lost It to
gain It again in 1S9,",, to lose it in 1S9B;
but In 1W7 we led again, f.nd again In
1S9S, and in 1S99, with our output of
1S.C20.70U tens, exceeded that of Gteal
Britain by 4,:15,394 tons, we have put
our great competitor out of the race.
This excess over Great Pri tain's pro
duct is greater than our entire annual
output of but fourteen years ago.
Verily, for the youngest of the great
nations we have done exceedingly well,
and we shall hold the po.-.ltlon we have
reached because our youth gives us the
advantage of illimitable fields of fuel
and ore, which are as yet practically
untouched and easy of access, while
those of the old countries in competi
tion have been worked almost to the
limit. I'nder such conditions, it ia
safe to' predict that the United States
will not only lead the world in iron
production, but in time will supply
all the' nations of the earth with their
lion. That this country bus so rapidly
reached first place and ulready pro
duces nearly thirty-five per cent, of
the world's product Is earnest of whnl
it can do when its lull energies and re
bourees uie brought into active opera
tion. Cheap Bates to California.

T WAS 11 very well kept house In
Moadowereek it wiim tlio house of
Miss Polly I.nno. If there was it
thriving gulden In Meadowcreek
It was tho garden which In
cluded vegetables, (lowers and fruit
of this same Miss, Polly Lane. And
If thero was a thrifty maiden lady In
tho country who had refused many 11
good offer In her day because sio
could not bear the shiftless ways of
men folks, It was the same well-preserved,
alert, competent and decisive
Miss Lane.
"It beuts me that you ain't ever got
married, Miss Polly," said the village
seamstress, who came twice u year to
make the gowns for the owner of
Spruce Farm. She had made the same
remark every spring and full for sev
eral years. She made It this golden
morning in the early summer when
she sat down to blind stitch the rallies
on Miss Polly's black grenadine.
"Why should IV" asked Miss Lane.
"Here I've got a better tondeil farm
than any woman who has to keep stop
ping everything they start to do Just
becnuse there's a great big man to be
humored. 1 don't have my curtains all
smelted up with smoke. I ain't got to
lie awake lodge nights. And I'm laying
iil money in the bank sure and
steady."
"Hut don't you ever get lonesome?"
inquired Airs. Gibbs.
Aliss Polly sniffed. "Catch 1110! AVIth
old Cousin Susan to do for, and all tho
overseeing of tho place, not to talk of
the church work that somebody's got
to help with; and then there's Matilda
Brown, who's as nice a hired girl as
there is in tho country! No, I ain't
ever seen the man I wanted to sacrl
llce my comfort for, and I'll thank you
to cut that sleeve loose enough at the
elbow, for the brown wrapper you
made was that tight I could hardly
crook my arm when I was drinking my
tea."
Airs.. Gibbs promised, nnd watched
Miss Polly as she prepared to accom
plish tlio task of training the wisteria
that trailed its luxuriant growth all
over her front porch. Aliss Polly was
40, if she was a day, but she was
mighty good to look at. She was tall,
and strong, and deep-chested. She had
a, well-modeled face, lit by keen gray
eyes. An outdoor life and sulllclent
sleep had kept her complexion fresh
nnd clear. There was never u thread
of gray In the abundant dark hnir,
over which she now tied a sunhonnel.
It was a pink mmbonnct and distinctly
becoming. In its roseate shelter her
somewhat severe countenance, wore 11
softened charm. The folds of her blue
percale morning wrapper were trimly
belted In at her waist, and the square
toed, black kid slippers were quite in
keeping with the rest of her attite.
"Now, Lord bless that lazy Si Kup-
pers!" exclaimed Aliss Polly. Armed
with hummer, nails, scissors and 11
strip of old red llantnel she was about
to proceed to her task, when her dis
covery of the absence of the stephtd
der brought her to a standstill. "It's a
week since he borrowed it, and he's got
ir yet!" She looked around the orderly
barn. When she hud planned to ac
complish certain work she was an
noyed at any interference with these
plans. And now she did not propose to
let tho trailing blanches of the wisteria
flap unsupported another day. Sudden
ly she spied a ban el of height, but of
scant circumference.
"There!" she cried, with an air of re
lief. "There'K that barrel! It's stout."
She promptly rolled the barrel around
to the front porch, brought her imple
ments of labor, climbed to her perch 011
top of the inverted barrel and pro
ceeded briskly with her task. Now, as
she worked she sang. There was no
one to hear. The liou.se .stood back from
the toad. Few passed at this early
hour. And theie was Unit In the fra
grant, delicious morning which made
singing as Involuntary and expressive
as the warbling of the birds in the
orchard.
" 'Tw.i-i tliv mcc, jn.v lionde .M.u,i.
And ih.v uitltss Mlmiiiijr .nili."
sang Aliss Lane. A mini driving up the
road In 11 lented livery rig drew his
horse to a slower pacing at sound nf
the song at sight of the wholesome
picture before hint. The Hue, substan
tial old farm bouse standing In its
.smooth lawns and glowing flower beds.
The rich green orchard in the rear. The
smiling windows, curtained with the
most Immaculate of Swiss curtains.
The comely woman on the band,
wielding her hummer with much force
and precision, und singing the pretty
old love song his mother used to sing:
" 1 11.11 ii.uli 1110 Uiinc luii'wi -llunny
May uf AirjIi';"
"Now, this Is certainly the Utile
homestead," decided the stranger.
"And 1 wonder If that Is Miss Lane,
Somehow though I can't gel a look at
her face with that sunbomiet, some
howI hope so, t), by thunder!"
lie diopped the reinssprung from
tho buggy. For at that Instant the song
had abruptly ended In u scream a iu- j
tie shrill scream or dismay, and the
figure In the percale gown and niuk
sunboniiec had disappeared from the
barrol. Not that she was quite los,t to
.sight, but til 10 was In the barrel, clothed
hi it, surrounded by it, and wedged to
her hips In Its wooden clutch!
"I'm coming!" yelled the stranger, niul
spurted aeio.ss the lawn. He was wun
deily agile for a man of his years, for
If one took his silvering hair as war
ranthe was older than the peculiarly
Imprisoned woman before him. ,
"Got the hatchet In the bain!"
gasped JIlss Polly.
In tho shortest time possible he was
back with the Implement of liberation.
And he knocked off tho conilnlng hoops
with much dispatch and accuracy of
aim. JIlss Polly for once in her will
poised life experienced the agony of
helplessness and embarrassment. She
faltered out a string of apologetic ex
planations. And ihoi'o were 110 rosps In
all her garden quite as red an her
cheeks Just then.
"That's all right!" he cried, cheerily.
"Now Just wait till i get a grip on
theso boards." Theie wuu a tearing,
splintering sound, and Miss fully
stepped from her temporary barrier In
which she had been girt. He took off
Ills hat, "Aliss i.une, "l believe," he
said.
Aliss l.ane admitted her Identity.
"My name Is John lluverton," ho ex
plained. "I was coming out to see you.
