Tho Now Year Welcomed. It lacked only a few minutes of mid night when cigars were ready to he kindled, hut Tonstmuster O'Neill halted tho banquetters until the first two years of tho twentieth century nodded to each other. Then, when tho whistles were announcing the event, Dr. Whalen arose nnd enthusiastically cnlled for three hurrahs to greet lime's latest off spring. Thpy wero given with spirit. Cigars were now lighted and the first offering ot the intellectual feast was made by Jlr. O'Neill. Jlr. O'Neill In his happiest mood, paid wittily and sincere compliments to the guests nnd put them in the best of humor. Taking tho passing of the old yenr, he took up two of the events that appeared that greatest to him. The first was very properly the seml-cen-tenlnl of Carbondnle, and when bo sug gested this there was u hearty response from the assemblage. This event was an unqualified success, he said, the greatest kind of a success!. In which everybody shnred alike. It was no one man's doing, It wns the peoples. It proved that If Carbondule be properly approached It would be found to be thoroughly good at heart. The really great event that was startling, serious was the death of the nation's beloved ruler, William Me Klnley. The lesson that this happening taught was the true patriotic fervor of all the people of our nation. To show the foice of this spirit Mr. O'Neill spread befoie the guests tho broad pa triotic sentiments expressed by Senator Hoar, who In the state Republican con vention after lloKlnley's death testified In the most beautiful and forceful language to the patriotism oC the nation declaring that any part or section of the country could rule if the other should pass away. Dr. ' W. Fletcher, in responding to the toast. "The Last of the First," which lvlali'il to the closing day of the iirst year of the Twentieth century, I olnted a few of the great achieve ments of 1601, among them, wireless telegraphy, the submarine boat, tho nii'-shlp, and lastly, the hoped-for planting of the Stars and Stripes on the North Pole. In Ihe face of this, It at a grand thing to he living now; It wui) hubllme. Shall not the Carbon dale Cycle ciub laise up to a higher pt.uii' inn' be the means of making life boiler. Theic uere many good things i. couli, "do In the way uf Improving ,ln mental condition of those who may not l.t've had' etirllei opportunities. Dr. Whalen's Response. 'lure was some sparkling luparteo I'l'tweun Tonstmnster O'Neill and Dr. Whnicn, before the latter took uu his -uibji'i-t, and the i's.sc-mblase enjoed 'no f'nirhuH ol' wit that wont from oik io Oi other. Dr. Whalen received nu nhnn when ho arose. Ills toast was 'i'ih' Uoso. tho Thistle, the Shnmro"k, and tho Golden rtod;.May They Flour ish by the Common Graft of Fiatcr luty." It was a beautiful fcenll lueiit nnd It 'was given a fitting le rronte. After relating the Interesting history of the adoption of the rose and the ihlsui- us the national flowers of Eng land and Scotland, respectively, Dr. Whalen took up the Shamrock, "the national flower of tho greenest Isle of ihe seas." "I will not yield to our worthy to.istinnster," said Dr. Whalen, as ho turned to Jlr. O'Neill, "In my honor to tho people of the Emerald Itle. Nothing in my associations, rcthlng In my having been born In Conenclicut, has made me less loyal to the f-ivatest people that God evnr iiiado." Ho then related the legend ot the r-lminrock, its use by St. Patrick to oxpla'n the awful mystery of the Trinlly. "We Americans," continued Dr. Whalen, "have no sentiment, no his tory. Wo get together and vote tho golden rod the nallonul (lower becnupe it Is indigenous to tho country, nnd then botanists tell us It Is wholly democratic; It Is universal In beauty, universal in growth.

It's tho Evidence of Scranton Peoplo Published in Scranton Papers That Hits Mndo Such a Roputation for Dr. A. W. Ohasa's Norvo Pills.

It's so dif ferent to the ordinary reme'dleH refer ring to cures mndo ut distant points which it is hard to verify. Thero Is n reason for Dr, A, W, Chase's Norvo I'llls commanding liomo evidence wher ever they aio known. It Is their won derful Influonco In bringing up tho standard of nerve force.

Does Not Disappoint Tho Now Discovery for Cntnrrh Seems to Possess Remarkable Morlt. A new cntnrrh cure bns recently ap peared which so far as tested has been remarkably successful In curing nil Jin Mw0- forms of catarrh, whether In the head, throat, bronchial lubes, or In stomach and liver. The remedy Is In tablet form, pleas ant and convenient to take and no spe cial secrecy Is maintained us to what It contains, the tablet being n scientific combination of Blood root, lied gum und slmllnr valuable and harmless an tiseptics. The smfc and effective cntnrrh cure may be found ut any drug store under tho linmo of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. Whether the catarrh Is located in the nose, throat, bronchial tubes, or stom ach, tho tablets seem to net with equal success, leinovlng the stuffy 'feeling In head nnd nose, clearing the mucous membrane o throat und trachea from catarrhal secretions, which cause the tickling, coughing, hawking and sag ging so annoying to every catarrh suf ferer. Nasal catarrh generally leads to ul ceration, In some cases to such an ex tent as to destroy the nose entirely and in many cases of catarrh the bones of tho head become diseased. Nasal catarrh gradually extends to the tin out and bronchial tubes and very often to the stomach, causing Unit very obsti nate trouble, catarrh of the stomach, Catarrh is a systemic poison, Inherent In the blood, and local washes, douches, salves, Inhalers and sprays can have no effect on tho real cause of the dis ease. An internal remedy which acts upon the blood Is the only uttlonal treatment and Stuart's Catanh Tab lets Is the safest of all Internal rem edies, as well ns the most convenient and satisfactory fiom a medical stand point. Dr. Eaton iccently stated that he had successfully used Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets In old chronic cases, even where ulceration hud extended so -far as to destroy the septum of the nose. Ho says, "I am pleasantly surprised almost every day bythe excellent results from Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. It Is remark able how effectually they remove the excessive secretion and bring about a healthy condition of the mucous' mem branes of the nose, throat nnd stom ach." All druggists sell complete treatment of the Tablets nt CO cents and a little book giving the symptoms and causes' of the various tonus of catarrh, will bo mulled free by addressing F, A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. American life. Dr. Whnlen took his seal, amid the- most appreciative ap plause ot" his beams. Carbnndalo has, in John W. Ditn oii;, a wit who can shine In the most illr.slilou? company of wits in the land. Ills drollery Is an ellkient aid, nnd when he finished, the banquetters were rollicking In laughter. Ills toast as "Here's to the Man Who Never Lets His Tongue Cut His Own Throat." Att.-irnej Homer D. Cnrey, of Jer myn, said some clever things tn his talk on "May Genius and Merit Never Want Them." He paid the compliment to President Kimball of tailing him a gonitis and wittily declared ho would never want a friend, particularly If h" continued to give banquets. Hon. S. S. Jones' Torse Sayings. Hon. S. S. Jones, who always says the brightest things at an after-dinner IclK-, delivered himself of some keen opinions In answer to some of Toast master O'Neill's suggestions earlier In the evening, wherein Mr. Jones' coun tr; men wtio given u few gentle, f,ood natured nibs. He then took up his sub ject, "High Wages u'uu Sense to Keep Them." and "as the champion of the f,ou of toll," gave some sponsible advice on tho money question. V do too much worrying nnd borrow too much trouble over our money affairs A man needs no more than ho needs. It hi' gets all Ihut he wants, he Is piling ui what he does not need and which :i'ii not stund the lire test, Wages do not count for much; It's what Is in us-that counts. The response of M. D, Lathrop to tho toast, "Muv the Faults of Our Neigh bors Uu Dim and Their Virtues Glar ing," commended Itself for Its common fcetiM) und its cbaritablo magnnnlmous spirit. "Let us b big-hearted mid mug nunlmous, for this Is to be ureal In life," was his losing advice. D. W. Humphrey gave a happy talk on "Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet uud Dr. .Marry man." Noticing tho reference of the tonstmnster to his tulked-of candidacy for tunyor. Mr. Humphrey told of a gentle rebuke a woman gnvo hint a few days ago. "It seems tn mo, Mr. Humph rey, that you Imvo n good deal of nerve to decline tlm nqmlnutlon for mayor, when It was never offered to you." Tho last espouse of the night was brief, but It wns a gem. It wns Presi dent Kimball's, His subject was "Tho Grand Army Living and Dead," Ho made the point that Is seldom touched on uud then given only passing atten tion. This was tho big fnetor that for eign born citizens were In tho civil wur, In that conflict, six limes as many Englishmen fought op the Union sldo as Wushinstoii faced In tho Hevolutlou ury war, Theio were six times us many Germans in the civil conflict as weiu among the Hessluns seut here by Eng land. In this fiuiio war the number of Irishmen was llvo Mines as many ns the population of Illinois, when ad mitted Into the union of Btntes. Eighty thousand foreigners uro sleeping in wlndowless chambers, that tho old jlng might wuvo oyer one people, and many of these could not speak English, Trea son, ho said, Is not dead, It Is not tinned with tho musket, but It is still here. It Is In the caucus, the ballot box and in such corrupt titles as New York city and Philadelphia. Don't lej this condition become ehronlo. Let us not make this free country u heaven for communists, or n paradise for an archists, but u purgatory for Iho' first and the hottest kind of a place for tho secoftd. The stihit ot the Grnnd Army still lives In our free Institutions. Let lis keep It nllve. Clrnnt, Jurksoii, Lee and McPherson aro keeping watch, Mr. Khnbnll believed, over the land of lib erty nnd freedom. Mr. Khnbnll ntso heartily thanked the board of governors und tho housa com mittee of the club for their co-oper-tlon In mnkhur the affair tho success with which It was crownctl. Shortly after 2 o'clock tho fenst ended nnd the guests dispersed, bringing to a close the most brilliant gathering ot Its chnrnctcr over held In Carbondalc. " Tho Guests.
