D
Emphatic Talk by Scranton
Ninetoon Employes of the Clover
Leaf Manufacturing Company
Who Made Demand for Somi
Monthly Pay Peremptorily Dis
charged Beforo They Had a Chance
to Go on Strike, If Such Was Their
Intention.
President K. K. Hendricks, of tho
Clover Ieaf Manufacturing company,
the concern that makes bobbins, fore
stalled a probable strike at the plant
yesterday by unceremoniously dis
charging nineteen of the thirty em
ployes who demanded a semi-monthly
pay.
There haw born n desire among the
majoilty of tho hands for a pay day
twice n month, and from a wish It
grew to a conviction, until yesterday
slgnatuies of the nineteen men who
are now out of positions were attached
to a petition which contained a mild
demand for the pay envelopes to be
passed around twice during the month.
The petition was pref-ented, and tlrially
It reached the bands of President Hen
dricks. According to the Information
given The Tribune, the leanest of the
men might have been considered, hut
when It came In tho foim of a demand,
It milled the temper of the offlclalfl,
somewhat, and when Mr. Hendricks
set himself to disposing of the matter
he did so with little ceremony. He
summoned the nineteen men who
signed the petition, infoiined them that
the company would not brook the sug
gestion of u demand, find forthwith
discharged them,
The luckless nineteen went to their
homes at noon, and It is not likely
that they will be reinstated. Tho eleven
who relumed to Join in the demand of
the majoilty leinalned at work.
c?ntennlal narade on Monday. Sept
the first day of the Jubilee celebration.
After an exchange of greetings, ami
an Interesting chat over the days that

was taken up. It resulted In 11. H.
Jadwln being chosen as captain, Hugh
V. Powderly as Hist lieutenant, John
Taylor, of Oyphant, second lieutenant,
and Thomas It. Vanaan, first sergeant.
The discussion which followed the
election indicated how rleslrnut-i the
putvlving heroes of the intrepid band
are to make a splendid showing In the
big day. and renew their devotion to
their native town. The hariges which
they will wear and the means to be
employed to bring out all of the sur
vivors, besides other details, were
talked about, but it was decided to
take no action until next Wednesday
night, to which time tho meeting ad
journed. The city llremen are hustling the
details of the part of the celebration
which has been assigned to them. At
the meeting Tuesday night, a general
committee of fifteen, five from each
company, were selected as follows:
Campbell, Herbeit and nivcnburg, of
the Mitchells, with two others to be
appointed: Cook Tolan. Clifford, Doud
ican and O'Malley, of the Cottage, and
Coughlln, Murphy, nrennan, McDon

Another deserved promotion, one
thnt was merited by faithful service;
and by constant effort to widen his
knowledge of his work, was that of
Thomas IS. Coughlln, who becomes su
perintendent of the Lncktjwnnna Val
ley Klcclilc Light, Power and Supply
company In place of James 1!. Nichol
son, resigned.
Mr. Coughlln has been empoyed at
the locnl electric light plant as engi
neer ever since it was installed. He
showed a ready grasp of the system,
In which he tool: n deep Interest ami
he was soon qualificri to undertake any
new work that was proposed for tho
plant's improvement. In every way,
Mr. Coughlln showed himself to be
trustworthy mid faithful, anil compe
tent to assume the direction of tho
station. All of bis qualities weie re
cognized ami a'ppreclatori, and when
the vacancy occurred, the officials of
the Lackawanna Valley company did
not have to go outside of its force
for the superintendency.
In entering' on his new duties-, Su
perintendent Coughlln has the good
will of tho men under him, and the
well w ishes of a legion of friends In
this city and vicinity.
Everyday In tho year some resident
of Scranton Is telling a friend or neigh
bor about experiences with Doan's
Kidney Pills. No such emphatic en-
doiscmcnt was ever given for any
modern medicine. Head what this citi
zen says:
Mr. Morgan Williams, of 550 North
Hyrio Park avenue, employed ns n
miner In the Hyde Tnrk (nines, says:
"I had for a year off nnd on sharp
pains ncrost my kidneys. If I stooped
It hurt me so that I almost yelled from
pain, and when I went to straighten
the sharp pains In my hack were very
severe. I mentioned my condition to
u friend, who ndvlsed mo to use Doan's
Kidney Pills, saying that they were tho
best remedy that he had heard of. I
got a box at Matthews Bros.' drug
store and commenced to use them.
Gradually the pain began to leave and
when I had finished tho box It had en
tirely disappeared."

PITCHER NOLAN'S CAREER.
Carbondale Young Man Winning
Laurels on Bnao Ball Diamond.
There Is scarcely a ear that a na
tive of Caibondale does not become

daff street.

CHURCH NOTES.
CHURCH PICNIC TODAY.
Another recognition of true merit Is
til be found In the case of Kugene
Is. Hudson, who has resigned his posi
tion as assistant foreman of the plate
department of the Hendricks Manu
facturing company to go with the
American Locomotive company, at
Scianton, until recently the Dickson
works.
Mr. Hudson will go into the
draughting room of the locomotive
company, and his record with tho
Hendricks company gives reason to
predict a successful career In his new
berth. Mr. Hudson has been with
the Caibondale concern for six years,
and aside from meriting and receiv
ing the respect and esteem of his
superiors about the works, ho won tho
co-operation and good will of tho men
under him, who 'keenly regret his
leaving, but heartily wish him well
in his new place.

Hudson, made himself eligible for tho
assistant foreinanshlp by a competent
knowledge of the bollerniaking Indus

Murphy begins his new duties well
equipped for the position and in tho
possession of the good feeling of tho
men from whose ranks ho has been
raised.

11 PE-RO-Nfl A HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY."
(SAYS TROT. TALF0URI) SMITH, OF GEORGIA.)
- Catarrh Is a systemic dlfease, not i
local disease. If Peruna will cure ca- ,
tarrh In one place It will euro It In nny
other place, because Peruna Is a sys
temic remedy. It reaches the dlsenso
through the circulation In each organ.
It eradicates the disease by eradicating
It from the system.
Peruna eradicates catarrh from the
system In the .imo way that the prac
tical farmer erndlcateo weeds from his
fields. The sensible fatmer does not
think of ctittng off the top of the
weeds to kill them. He pulls them up
by the toots.
Dr. Hartman. the originator of Pe
runa, has used this remedy for the last
forty years with great success as a
specific for catarih.
A free book written by him will bo
sent to any addicos. It contalhs the
results of his forty years' experience)
with Pei una, nnd will be found, or
great Interest to those a filleted with
catarrh of any organ of the body.
Mr. F. E. Brnckett, Medfoid, Mass.,
writes:
"I have a bottle of Peruna and Mnna
lln In use n my house two-thirds of
the tune. If 1 take it when feeling a
little Indlsnosed It braces me right up.
nnd keeps me in such fine condition that
I don't catch cold, nnd that l lire and
happiness to one of my business: 1 am
a teamster, and when the membrane of
my noso Is swollen at night after driv
ing In our cast winds nnd fogs, I tako
a dose of Peruna on going to bed at
night and got up all right In the morn
ing. It also makes tho blood circulate,
and Is sure clenth to rheumatism."
Mr. F. E. Bracken.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results fiom tho uso of
Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your cate
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advlco gratis.

Tho Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,

"With much nleasure 1 recommend
Peruna toall who may be suffering with
any trouble of the icsplratory organs.
I have been tilng It In my family for
the past live or six years and find It to

Peruna is truly a grand catarrh rem

Catarrh Is lnllamimtl.m of tho muc

T SEEMS like nn unkind thing to
say that Pierce Cliurcnili's down-'
'all began when he met Hester
MacLagan, for she was a good,
gentle and beautiful gill, and we
were all sure that she really loved
him. Tho Lord knows he has been a
reckless blade long beforo ho saw her,
and tho record that ho made In Paris,
Vienna and in 'Frisco after he came
home was lurid enough to stamp him
tw u very wild young man.
When he landed in New York the
last time It must have been about
'US he had nothing left but a bunged
up color box, a cracked palette and a
tiui.kful of old sketches jumbled into
tho midst of a lot of pretty well-worn
clothes. He contrived to get posse
ssion of a back room up In Fifty-third
street near Eighth avenue, and there
he went to work as If he meant to
retrieve his squandered fortune and
make a name for himself. He quit
drinking, probably from necessity s
much as fiom choice, and we all be
gen to think that at last he was in a
fair way to establish himself.
He worked like a nailer and peddled
tho stuff he had painted with n per
tinacity nnl eloquence that seemed
wholly foreign f. his character. Fin
ally Knocdler took hold of one of his
pictures a Dutch Interior with a
petMiit woman peeling apples -aim
surprized poor Pierce one day by
sending him a check for hmi. 'ino
money didn't sway him from the path
of Industry and virtue, and he prob
ably would have been tatnous by this
time If ho had never found out who It
was that bought that first plctuie.
But he picked up a young (lower girl
In the Gllsey house lobby one night
and insisted on posing her for a fanci
ful head. He worked hauler on that
than on anything he had ever clone,
and the result astonished everybody.
Knoedlcr took It and had It sold for a
lound sum within two clays.
Then Pierce got a note to the otfoct
that both his pictures had been bought
bv the same poison, and that bo had
exptessed the wish to have Churchill
rulnt a portrait. A meeting was ar
ranged and tho wealthy conimlsrur
who had taken such a strong fancy to
Pierce's stuff proved to be nn old Col
onel MacLagan, n wealthy English
Irishman who had made his money In
India, bad relatives In the peerage ami
was as proud and Irascible as a turkey
cock. Pierce used to called him "The
Gobbler" In those old palmy days when
he was first nt work upon Miss Hes
ter's portrait, but I've heard him use
worse terms than that afterward. I
niei"i after the final explosion. But
that comes later In the story.
Miss Hester was a perfect typo of
the young English beauty, a bit lan
Ituld and dicamy In manner, but, ac
cording to Pierce, the very soul of ten
derness,' loyalty n)id Imagination.
'I here's no doubt that she had an ex
aggerated notion of tho superiority of
tho clone), and she carried the En
irlish Idea of filial piety and respect be-
yond the limits usually set by self
reliant, gi own-up American girls. The
sittings began at Macl.ogon s town
house 111 Fifth avenue, but as soon ns
Churchill got Into his new studio tho
British goddess Illuminated It almost
dally with her dazzling presence.
Pierce ncvu told anybody that he was
In love with the girl, but his friends all
knew It, and, try as he might to con
ceal tho suite of al'faits, he betrayed
his secret In a thousand ways peculiar
to young men of red corpuscles and
vigorous fancies.
It was In October that Miss Mac
Lagan became a pupil aa well as a pa
Hon of Pierce's studio. He had often
Mvnrn that ho would never paint por
tialts or teach, that both meant shiv
ery, drudgery, dishonor, and that he d
starve first. And yet but this was
one of the signs! MWs MacLagan was
"getting on splendidly, Churchill told
mo late the following January, and I
didn't wonder, for never was theie a
more enthusiastic teacher nor yet a
more Inspiring pupil. His studio wns
lltteied all over with studies of her
face, her hand, shoulder, foot. eyes.
He had done her in water colors, nnd
the great life-size portrait Itself was
Hwiftly growing Into a masterpiece
that must have made Pierce famous if
but that's going ahead ton fast
again,
Churchill was sitting smoking with a
friend tho night of the explosion. They
had Just drawn away the hang
luge fiom the portrait of Hester when
Colonel MacLagan, "the gobbler," rush'
ed into the room. Ho Hung upon tho
floor a bundle of cardboards and paper
and, purple with rage, his white head
wagging like a puppet, he bawled:
"There, you d audacious dauber,
take Ihem! How daro you teach my
daughter to make pictures of you. you
Impudent pauper. Don't you ever show
your face at my house again, you lying
sneaking "
"Stop right theie, colonel," said
Pierce picking up the bundle as he
rose nnd plucking tit tho string. Ho
was very pale and theie was a puz
zled look behind the angry flash of
his black eyes. "Don't use such lan
guage to me, sir; I might "
"You might what, sir'.'" The choleric
old soldier had half-raised his cane. -"I
might kill you, colonel," said the
artist trying to smile.
The Englishman stood fuming for an
InstantnsPIerce unwtapped the bundle.
A little twichlng nt the corners of his
mouth, a choking sensation ' In his
throat, a tear springing to his eyes,
weie the only signs that Pierce made
when he saw the contents of the parcel.
They were all sketches, drawings, little
pen nnd Ink or crayon portraits of him
self in a hundred pesos, done from
memory, tolled at by tender hands,
guided by the loving heart of the glri
who thus yielded first to her falhr
and then to her lover, the sciot that
she had never betrayed befote. rj
Well, that was the beginning of the
end. Colonel MacLagan hlurted out
sbmethlng about "sending in your
hlasted bill, but Pierce never sent any
bill. They never asked for the portrait
and Hester never appeared In his "ath
.ny agaiiu
Oh, these English girls arc rrlrncul
ously filial!
Pieice didn't work much after that,
and what he did lacked f-pontanelty
and motive. He had to give up his
studio nnd he sold nothing. The Mae
Lagans sent him a check for $500 a few-
weeks after he hod begun to live on one
meal mil fifty drinks a day, but ho
sent It back without a word nnd never
heard from them again. Finally he lost
heart altogether and went away to
Mexico, I believe, but no matter. His
old friends In New York haven't beard
of him since. Probably ho discovered
the fierce Nlrvnna that lies stinging.
IHM'hnps he hiiet found the longer, less
bitter peace of death. But that eloesp't
matter, either, to nnvo'ie except him
because Miss Hester Is marrie I "well
married."
The story ought to end right her but
It doesn't because on tho noble wall"
of a line honi" on Murray Hill har.as
a llfe-slze panting of Psyche sitting
lost and alone, on the b.-etllng eillf
of a storm-clouded ishn 1. loklng out
to sea through wind-blown yellow hair,
and through tears thai dim her sreat
blue eyes. Fpon her lap, Instead of the
tieasure box, there Is p. sheet of paper
upon which she se-ms to bo trying
to limn the forgotten face of a imn.
It Is a weird, desolat , hopeles con
ception of the much pl"tmed Psyche,
but It Ik not fo- Its artistic qulllbs
altogether that Mis. Bulle-.i, the lady ot
the house, prizes It. In the corner of
the canvas Is tho painters name.
"Pierce Churchill." and If you ask the
young matron about her "Psyche" she
will look seriously at you with her
great blue eyes and smile at you only
with her lips as she says:
"My husband, Mr. Bullcn, picked It
up at an auction sale somewheie. It
was among tho effects of seme po.r
artist and was sold for storage c barges.
M-. Bullon lock . f-itiry to it because
ho iniaEintdthat it looked like me. The
idea! Nn woman was ever half ns
beautiful ns that, do you think to?
the artist'.' Oh yes, I remember meet
ing him when I was a girl. H gave
me a few lessons In drawing, and that
too, gives the picture a sort of senti
mental value to me. Silly, Isn't It.'"
