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

it Is indigenous to tho country, nnd
then botanists tell us It Is wholly

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

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

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

Shortly after 2 o'clock tho fenst ended
